each of the Subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities comply in all material respects with the requirements of applicable laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and are in full force and effect. Other than the Subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities
set forth on Schedule 3.1(a), the Company has no direct or indirect Subsidiaries.


 


(i) The
description of the corporate structure of the Company and each of the contracts among the Subsidiaries, the shareholders of the
Affiliated Entities and the Affiliated Entities, as the case may be (each a “VIE Agreement” and collectively
the “VIE Agreements”), as set forth in the Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement and SEC Reports, is true and accurate
and nothing has been omitted from such description which would make it misleading. There is no other agreement, contract or other
document relating to the corporate structure or the operation of the Company together with its Subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities
taken as a whole, which has not been previously disclosed or made available to the Purchasers and disclosed in the Prospectus,
Prospectus Supplement and SEC Reports.


 


(ii) Each
VIE Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto and constitutes a valid and legally binding
obligation of the parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforceability, to bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’
rights and general equity principles. No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing or registration with, any person
(including any governmental agency or body or any court) is required for the performance of the obligations under any VIE Agreement
by the parties thereto, except as already obtained or disclosed in the Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement and SEC Reports; and no
consent, approval, authorization, order, filing or registration that has been obtained is being withdrawn or revoked or is subject
to any condition precedent which has not been fulfilled or performed. The corporate structure of the Company complies with all

or otherwise conflict with any applicable laws of the PRC. There is no legal or governmental proceeding, inquiry or investigation
pending against the Company, the Subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities or shareholders of the Affiliated Entities in any jurisdiction
challenging the validity of any of the VIE Agreements, and, to the knowledge of the Company, no such proceeding, inquiry or investigation
is threatened in any jurisdiction.


 


(iii) The
execution, delivery and performance of each VIE Agreement by the parties thereto do not and will not result in a breach or violation
of any of the terms and provisions of or constitute a default under, or result in the imposition of any Lien upon any property
or assets of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities pursuant to (A) the constitutive or organizational
documents of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities, (B) any statute, rule, regulation or order of any
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or Affiliated Entities or any of their
properties, or any arbitration award, or (C) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument
to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities is a party or by which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries
or Affiliated Entities is bound or to which any of the properties of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or Affiliated Entities
is subject, except, in the case of (B) and (C), where such conflict, breach, violation or default would not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each VIE Agreement is in full force and effect and none of the parties thereto is in breach
or default in the performance of any of the terms or provisions of such VIE Agreement. None of the parties to any of the VIE Agreements
has sent or received any communication regarding termination of, or intention not to renew, any of the VIE Agreements, and, to
the knowledge of the Company, no such termination or non-renewal has been threatened by any of the parties thereto.

or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect

rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder that are effective and applicable to the Company as of the date
hereof and as of the Closing Date. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal controls over financial reporting

are currently eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation
and the Company is current in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation)
in connection with such electronic transfer.

or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents)
or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could reasonably be expected to become applicable to the Purchasers as a result

in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers
regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the
Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this
Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations

(z) Solvency.
Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the
Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds
the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including
known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry
on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular
capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability
thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate
all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in
respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability
to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).
The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation
under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. Schedule 3.1(aa)
sets forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which
the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (x)
any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary
course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether
or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties
by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business;
and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance
with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

on such returns, reports and declarations and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of

with respect to Securities are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing
shareholders’ equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. 
The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

3.2 Representations
and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as
of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which case they
shall be accurate as of such date):


 


(a) Organization;
Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability
company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and
performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction
Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with
the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating
to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification
and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law. Such Purchaser’s execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to
which it is a party do not and will not: (x) conflict with or violate any provision of such Purchaser’s certificate or articles
of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents or (y) conflict with or result in a violation of any law,
rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any Governmental Authority to which the Purchaser
is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Purchaser is
bound or affected.


 


(b) Understandings
or Arrangements. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect
arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this representation
and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise
in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary
course of its business.


 






    22


     


    

 


(c) Purchaser
Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on
which it exercises any Warrants, 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.


 


(d) Experience
of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and
experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment
in the Securities, 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 and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. Such Purchaser
understands that nothing in the Transaction Documents or any other materials presented to such Purchaser in connection with the
purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.


 


(e) Access
to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including
all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded, (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it
has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the
offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company
and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate
its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without
unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. 
Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate of the Placement Agent has provided such
Purchaser with any information or advice with respect to the Securities nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. 
Neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate has made or makes any representation as to the Company or the quality of the Securities
and the Placement Agent and any Affiliate may have acquired non-public information with respect to the Company which such Purchaser
agrees need not be provided to it.  In connection with the issuance of the Securities to such Purchaser, neither the Placement
Agent nor any of its Affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to such Purchaser.


 


(f) Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not,
nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any
purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that
such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting
forth the material pricing terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio
managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment
decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth
above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision
to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s
representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents
and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction
(including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained
herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in
order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.


 






    23


     


    

 


The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right
to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties
contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this
Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt,
nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing
shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.


 


ARTICLE IV.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES


 


4.1 Warrant
Shares. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover
the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares or if the Warrant is exercised via cashless exercise, the Warrant Shares issued pursuant
to any such exercise shall be issued free of all legends. If at any time following the date hereof the Registration Statement (or
any subsequent registration statement registering the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares) is not effective or is not otherwise
available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall immediately notify the holders of the Warrants in writing
that such registration statement is not then effective and thereafter shall promptly notify such holders when the registration
statement is effective again and available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares (it being understood and agreed that the
foregoing shall not limit the ability of the Company to issue, or any Purchaser to sell, any of the Warrant Shares in compliance
with applicable federal and state securities laws). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep a registration statement
(including the Registration Statement) registering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares effective during the term of the
Warrants.


 


4.2 Furnishing
of Information. Until the earliest of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) the Warrants have expired, the
Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports
required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject
to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.


 






    24


     


    

 


4.3 Integration.
The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined
in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules
and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction
unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.


 


4.4 Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall (a) by the Disclosure Time, issue a press release disclosing the material terms
of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits
thereto, with the Commission within the time required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of such press release, the
Company represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any
of the Purchasers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents
in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, effective upon the issuance of such
press release, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement,
whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees
or Affiliates on the one hand, and any of the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate. The Company
and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement
without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each
Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except
if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice
of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any
Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without
the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of
final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations,
in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).


 


4.5 Shareholder
Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any
Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including
any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company,
or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities
under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.


 






    25


     


    

 


4.6 Non-Public
Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting
on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably
believes constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have consented to the receipt
of such information and agreed with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that
each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent
that the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates delivers
any material, non-public information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees
that such Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective
officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided
that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document
constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously
file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser
shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.


 


4.7 Use
of Proceeds. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7 attached hereto, the Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale
of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion
of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior
practices), (b) for the redemption of any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding
litigation or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.


 


4.8 Indemnification
of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors,
officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a
Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders,
agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles
notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”)
harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments,
amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser
Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any Proceeding instituted against
the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is
not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless
such Proceeding is solely based upon a material breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants
under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such shareholder or
any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which is finally
judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct). If any Proceeding shall be brought against
any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly
notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing
reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action
and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party
except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company
has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such Proceeding there is,
in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position
of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one
such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser
Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to
the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach
of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other
Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof
during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained
herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any
liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.


 






    26


     


    

 


4.9 Reservation
of Ordinary Shares. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available
at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of Ordinary Shares for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue
Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.


 


4.10 Listing
of Ordinary Shares. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Ordinary Shares
on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote
all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares and Warrant Shares
on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Ordinary Shares traded on any other Trading
Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary
to cause all of the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The
Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Ordinary Shares on a Trading
Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules
of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Ordinary Shares for electronic transfer through the
Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees
to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.


 


4.11 Subsequent
Equity Sales.


 


(a) From
the date hereof until thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter
into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents.


 


(b) From
the date hereof until eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering
into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents
(or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means
a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or
exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional Ordinary Shares either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or
exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the Ordinary Shares
at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price
that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence
of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Ordinary
Shares or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit,
whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief
against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.


 


(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.11 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall
be an Exempt Issuance.


 






    27


     


    

 


4.12 Participation
Right. Until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, directly or
indirectly, effect any issuance of Ordinary Shares, Ordinary Share Equivalents or debt for cash consideration, Indebtedness or
a combination of units hereof (a “Subsequent Placement”) unless the Company shall have first complied with this
Section 4.12. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the right set forth in this Section 4.12 is a right granted by the Company,
separately, to each Purchaser.


 


(a) At
least three (3) Trading Days prior to any proposed or intended Subsequent Placement, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser
a written notice (each such notice, a “Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall not contain any information (including,
without limitation, material, non-public information) other than: (A) if the proposed Offer Notice (as defined below) constitutes
or contains material, non-public information, a statement asking whether such Purchaser is willing to accept material non-public
information or (B) if the proposed Offer Notice does not constitute or contain material, non-public information, (x) a statement
that the Company proposes or intends to effect a Subsequent Placement, (y) a statement that the statement in clause (x) above does
not constitute material, non-public information and (z) a statement informing such Purchaser that it is entitled to receive an
Offer Notice (as defined below) with respect to such Subsequent Placement upon its written request. Upon the written request of
a Purchaser within one (1) Trading Day after the Company’s delivery to such Purchaser of such Pre-Notice, and only upon a
written request by such Purchaser, the Company shall promptly, but no later than three (3) Trading Days after such request, deliver
to such Purchaser an irrevocable written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or
sale or exchange (the “Offer”) of the securities being offered (the “Offered Securities”)
in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (A) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (B) describe the price and
other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued,
sold or exchanged, (C) identify the Persons (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued,
sold or exchanged and (D) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Offer
such Purchaser’s pro rata portion of 50% of the Offered Securities, provided that the number of Offered Securities which
such Purchaser shall have the right to subscribe for under this Section 4.12 shall be (x) based on such Purchaser’s pro rata
portion of the aggregate number of Shares purchased hereunder by all Purchasers (the “Basic Amount”), and (y)
with respect to each Purchaser that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable
to the Basic Amounts of other Purchasers as such Purchaser shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Purchasers
subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”), which process shall be repeated
until each Purchaser shall have an opportunity to subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription Amount.


 


(b) To
accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Purchaser must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the first
(1st) Business Day after such Purchaser’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”),
setting forth the portion of such Purchaser’s Basic Amount that such Purchaser elects to purchase and, if such Purchaser
shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Purchaser elects to purchase (in
either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Purchasers are less than
the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Purchaser who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance
shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed
for; provided, however, if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic
Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”), each Purchaser who
has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription
Amount as the Basic Amount of such Purchaser bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Purchasers that have subscribed for Undersubscription
Amounts, subject to rounding by the Company to the extent it deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Company desires to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company
may deliver to each Purchaser a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on the first (1st) Business Day after
such Purchaser’s receipt of such new Offer Notice.


 






    28


     


    

 


(c) The
Company shall have five (5) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above (A) to offer, issue, sell or exchange all
or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by a Purchaser (the “Refused
Securities”) pursuant to a definitive agreement(s) (the “Subsequent Placement Agreement”), but only
to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without
limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to
the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice and (B) to publicly announce (x) the execution of such Subsequent Placement
Agreement, and (y) either (I) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (II)
the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be filed with the SEC on a Report of Foreign Private Issuer
on Form 6-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.


 


(d) In
the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the
terms specified in Section 4.12(c) above), then each Purchaser may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number
or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or
amount of the Offered Securities that such Purchaser elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4.12(b) above multiplied by a fraction,
(A) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or
exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Purchasers pursuant to this Section 4.12 prior to such reduction)
and (B) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Purchaser so elects
to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or
exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered
to the Purchasers in accordance with Section 4.12(a) above.


 


(e) Upon
the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, such Purchaser shall acquire from
the Company, and the Company shall issue to such Purchaser, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice
of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4.12(d) above if such Purchaser has so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified
in the Offer. The purchase by such Purchaser of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and
delivery by the Company and such Purchaser of a separate purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to such Purchaser and its counsel.


 


(f) So
long as the period specified in the first sentence of this Section 4.12 has not yet elapsed, any Offered Securities not acquired
by a Purchaser or other Persons in accordance with this Section 4.12 may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again
offered to such Purchaser under the procedures specified in this Agreement.


 


(g) The
Company and each Purchaser agree that if any Purchaser elects to participate in an Offer, neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement
with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the “Subsequent Placement
Documents”) shall include any term or provision whereby such Purchaser shall be required to agree to any restrictions
on trading as to any securities of the Company (other than as required by law) or be required to consent to any amendment to or
termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, any agreement previously entered into with
the Company or any instrument received from the Company.


 






    29


     


    

 


(h) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4.12 and unless otherwise agreed to by such Purchaser, the Company shall either confirm
in writing to such Purchaser that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly
disclose its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case, in such a manner such that such Purchaser will not be in
possession of any material, non-public information, by the fifth (5th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice. If
by such fifth (5th) Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been
made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Purchaser, such transaction shall be
deemed to have been abandoned and such Purchaser shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect
to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Should the Company decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities,
the Company shall provide such Purchaser with another Offer Notice and such Purchaser will again have the right of participation
set forth in this Section 4.12. The Company shall not be permitted to deliver more than one such Offer Notice to such Purchaser
in any sixty (60) day period, except as expressly contemplated by the last sentence of Section 4.12(b).


 


(i) The
restrictions contained in this Section 4.12 shall not apply in connection with an Exempt Issuance.


 


4.13 Equal
Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid
to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration
is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate
right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to
treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect
to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.


 


4.14 Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither
it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including
Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending
at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release
as described in Section 4.4.  Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such
time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release
as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and
the information included in the Disclosure Schedules.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained
in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation,
warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described
in Section 4.4, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company
in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any
duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of the Company to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance
of the initial press release as described in Section 4.4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that
is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets
and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions
of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by
the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.


 






    30


     


    

 


4.15 Capital
Changes. Until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall not undertake a reverse or forward share split
or reclassification of the Ordinary Shares without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority in interest of
the Shares.


 


4.16 Exercise
Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures required of the
Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required
of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise shall
be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required
in order to exercise the Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver Warrant Shares in accordance
with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.


 


ARTICLE V.

MISCELLANEOUS


 


5.1 Termination. 
This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect
whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing
has not been consummated on or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date hereof; provided, however,
that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).


 


5.2 Fees
and Expenses. At the Closing, the Company has agreed to reimburse Kelley Drye & Warren LLP (“KDW”) the
non-accountable sum of $50,000 for its legal fees and expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the
contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other
expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.
The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees (including, without limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any
instruction letter delivered by the Company and any exercise notice delivered by a Purchaser), stamp taxes and other taxes and
duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.


 






    31


     


    

 


5.3 Entire
Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement,
contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements
and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents,
exhibits and schedules.


 


5.4 Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered
via facsimile at the facsimile number or email attachment at the email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto
at or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such
notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or email attachment at the email address as set forth
on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading
Day, (c) the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight
courier service or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices
and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant
to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries,
the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.


 


5.5 Amendments;
Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed,
in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Purchasers which purchased at least 50.1% in interest of the Shares based on the
initial Subscription Amounts hereunder (or, prior to the Closing, the Company and each Purchaser) or, in the case of a waiver,
by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought, provided that if any amendment, modification or waiver
disproportionately and adversely impacts a Purchaser (or group of Purchasers), the consent of such disproportionately impacted
Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) shall also be required. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or
requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or
a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any
right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately,
materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and obligations
of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser. Any amendment effected in
accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities and the Company.


 






    32


     


    

 


5.6 Headings.
The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect
any of the provisions hereof.


 


5.7 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted
assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
each Purchaser (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to
whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect
to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”


 


5.8 No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Placement Agent shall be the third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of
the Company in Section 3.1 and the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 3.2. This Agreement is intended
for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor
may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.8 and this Section 5.8.


 


5.9 Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall
be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Actions concerning the interpretations, enforcement and
defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party
hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced
exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any
dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect
to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding,
any Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service
of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail
or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement
and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence
an Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under
Section 4.8, the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’
fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding. Prior to Closing,
the Company will appoint its agent for service of process in New York and inform the Purchasers of the same in writing. The choice
of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law of this Agreement is a valid choice of law and would be recognized and
given effect to in any Proceeding brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in the Cayman Islands, except for those laws
(i) which such court considers to be procedural in nature, (ii) which are revenue or penal laws or (iii) the application of which
would be inconsistent with public policy, as such term is interpreted under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The choice of laws
of the State of New York as the governing law of this Agreement will be honored by competent courts in the People’s Republic
of China, subject to compliance with relevant People’s Republic of China civil procedural and other requirements. None of
the Company nor any of its properties, assets or revenues has any right of immunity under Cayman Islands, the People’s Republic
of China or New York law, from any Proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any such legal Proceeding, from set-off or counterclaim,
from the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands and the People’s Republic of China, New York or United States federal court,
from service of process, attachment upon or prior to judgment, or attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution
of a judgment, or other Proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of a judgment, in any such court, with respect
to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement; and, to the extent
that the Company, or any of its properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to any such right of immunity
in any such court in which Proceeding may at any time be commenced, the Company hereby waives such right to the extent permitted
by law and hereby consents to such relief and enforcement as provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.


 






    33


     


    

 


5.10 Survival.
The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.


 


5.11 Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same
agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being
understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission
or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file or other electronic medium recognized as an electronic signature
under applicable law, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such
signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page or other electronic
signature were an original thereof.


 


5.12 Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full
force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated
by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that
they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.


 


5.13 Rescission
and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of)
any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction
Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser
may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand
or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the
case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any Ordinary Shares subject
to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the
Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s
Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).


 






    34


     


    

 


5.14 Replacement
of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company
shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or
in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall
also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.


 


5.15 Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of
the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that
monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the
Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Proceeding for specific performance of any such obligation
the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.


 


5.16 Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document
or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or
exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from,
disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person
under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action),
then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived
and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.


 


5.17 Independent
Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several
and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance
or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any
other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the
Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers
are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the
rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser
to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate
legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with
the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do
so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each
other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively
and not between and among the Purchasers.


 






    35


     


    

 


5.18 Liquidated
Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction
Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other
amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages
or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.


 


5.19Saturdays,
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 not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding
Business Day.


 


5.20 Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction
Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting
party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and
every reference to share prices and Ordinary Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and
forward share splits, share dividends, share combinations and other similar transactions of the Ordinary Shares that occur after
the date of this Agreement.


 


5.21 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY
AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY
WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
