ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BUYER


 


The Buyer represents and warrants that the
statements contained in this ARTICLE III are correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement.


 


Section 3.1 Investment Representations.


 


(a) The Buyer has received, has thoroughly
read, is familiar with and understands the contents of this Agreement.


 


(b) The Buyer hereby acknowledges that an
investment in the Shares involves certain significant risks. The Buyer acknowledges that there is a substantial risk that it will
lose all or a portion of its investment and that it is financially capable of bearing the risk of such investment for an indefinite
period of time. The Buyer has no need for liquidity in its investment in the Shares for the foreseeable future and is able to bear
the risk of that investment for an indefinite period. The Buyer understands that there presently is no public market for the Shares
and none is anticipated to develop in the foreseeable future. The Buyer’s present financial condition is such that the Buyer
is under no present or contemplated future need to dispose of any portion of the Shares subscribed for hereby to satisfy any existing
or contemplated undertaking, need or indebtedness. The Buyer’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable
is not disproportionate to his net worth and the investment in the Company will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.


 


(c) The Buyer acknowledges that the Shares
have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities act, and are being sold on the basis
of exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities acts, except those state securities acts
that require registration of the Shares thereunder. Reliance on such exemptions, where applicable, is predicated in part on the
accuracy of the Buyer’s representations and warranties set forth herein. The Buyer acknowledges and hereby agrees that the
Shares will not be transferable under any circumstances unless the Buyer either registers the Shares in accordance with federal
and state securities laws or finds and complies with an available exemption under such laws. Accordingly, the Buyer hereby acknowledges
that there can be no assurance that it will be able to liquidate its investment in the Company.


 


(d) There are substantial risk factors pertaining
to an investment in the Company. The Buyer acknowledges that it has read the information set forth above regarding certain of such
risks and is familiar with the nature and scope of all such risks, including, without limitation, risks arising from the fact that
the Company is an entity with limited operating history and financial resources; and the Buyer is fully able to bear the economic
risks of such investment for an indefinite period, and can afford a complete loss thereof.


 




     


     


    

(e) The Buyer has been given the opportunity
to (i) ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and its designated representatives concerning the terms and conditions
of the offering, the Company and the business and financial condition of the Company and (ii) obtain any additional information
that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to assist the Buyer in evaluating
the advisability of the purchase of the Shares and an investment in the Company. The Buyer further represents and warrants that,
prior to signing this Agreement, it has asked such questions, received such answers and obtained such information as it has deemed
necessary or advisable to evaluate the merits and risks of the purchase of the Shares and an investment in the Company. The Buyer
is not relying on any oral representation made by any person as to the Company or its operations, financial condition or prospects.


 


(f) The Buyer understands that no federal,
state or other governmental authority has made any recommendation, findings or determination relating to the merits of an investment
in the Company.

or violation of, default under, loss of benefit or right under or acceleration of performance of any obligation required under

Option exercised) such that immediately following such surrender, the Buyer (and all other initial shareholders prior to the IPO,
if any) will own an aggregate number of Shares (not including ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of any warrants or any ordinary
shares purchased by the Buyer in the Company’s IPO or in the aftermarket) equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary
shares of the Company immediately following the IPO.


 


Section 5.2 Termination of Rights as
Shareholder. If any of the Shares are surrendered and cancelled in accordance with this Section 5, then after such time the

as is appropriate to cancel such Shares.

AGREEMENT OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING HERETO. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACTION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A
WRITTEN CONSENT TO TRIAL BY A COURT.


 




     


     


    

Section 6.5 Counterparts. This Agreement
may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute
one and the same instrument.


 


Section 6.6 Headings. The article
and section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement.


 


Section 6.7 Governing Law. This Agreement,
the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any litigation between the parties (whether grounded in contract, tort, statute,
law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware,
without giving effect to its choice of laws principles.


 


Section 6.8 Amendments. This Agreement
may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto.


 


Section 6.9 Severability. The provisions
of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity
or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any party hereto
or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a Governmental Body, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its

to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words
or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.

Section 6.11 Construction. The parties
hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation
arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof will
arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any
federal, state, local, or foreign Law will be deemed also to refer to Law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including”
will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will
be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa,
unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,”
“hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and
not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and
covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or
covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the
same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract
from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.


 


Section 6.12 Waiver. No waiver by
any party hereto of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may
be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect
in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence.
