delivery of the Exchange Shares to the Holder, the Warrant will be automatically canceled and terminated.

the Exchange, Holder agrees to execute and return this Letter Agreement, together with the Warrant, to Ellenoff Grossman &
Schole LLP, legal counsel to the Company, at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10105. Upon
receipt of the executed Letter Agreement and the Warrant, the Company will issue to the Company’s transfer agent an instruction

“Securities Act’). Upon issuance, the Exchange Shares shall not bear any restrictive legend and shall be freely
tradable on the NASDAQ Capital Market (the “Principal Market”) pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.


 


3.4 The execution,
delivery and performance of this Letter Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
hereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Exchange Shares) will not (i) result in a violation of the articles
of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse
of time or both would become a default) in any respect under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration
or cancellation of, any Letter Agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or

has not, nor has any person acting on its behalf, directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited
any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the Exchange and the issuance of the Exchange Shares pursuant

the Company from delivering the Exchange Shares to the Holder pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, nor will the Company
take any action or steps that would cause the Exchange, issuance and delivery of the Exchange Shares to be integrated with other

set forth below:


 






    	4



    	 



    

  


6.1. At least
two (2) Business Days prior to any proposed or intended Subsequent Placement, the Company or its agent shall orally contact the
Holder and ask whether such Holder is willing to agree to receive material non-public information (each such notice, a “Pre-Notice”),
provided that neither the Company nor its agents shall provide any material, non-public information with respect to the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries to the Holder without the expressed written consent of the Holder to receive such material, non-public
information. Upon the written request of the Holder no later than one (1) Business Day after the Holder’s receipt of such
Pre-Notice, and only upon a written request by the Holder, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Business Day after
such request, deliver to the Holder by facsimile 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 within one (1) Business Day of the determination of the terms of such Subsequent
Placement, which Offer Notice shall (w) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (x) describe the price and other final 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,
(y) identify the persons or entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or
exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with the Holder (which offer being non-transferable to any successor to
the Holder) a pro rata portion of at least 35% of the Offered Securities allocated among the Holder and each other holder of Warrants
immediately prior to the date hereof (solely to the extent such other holder of Warrants enters into an agreement identical to
the form hereof (other than proportional adjustments for the amount of Warrants being exchanged) (such agreement, each an “Other
Exchange Letter Agreement”, each such holder of Warrants, each, an “Other Warrant Holder”, and such
Warrants of such Other Warrant Holder together with the Warrant of the Holder, collectively, the “Exchange Warrants”)
(I) based on the Holder’s pro rata portion of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Exchange Warrants (without
regard for any limitations on exercise set forth therein) immediately prior to the date hereof (the “Basic Amount”),
and (II) if the Holder elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the
Basic Amounts of the Other Exchange Warrant Holders as the Holder shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the Other Exchange
Warrant Holders subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”).


 


6.2. To accept
an Offer, in whole or in part, the Holder must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the third (3rd) full
Business Day after the Holder’s receipt of the Offer Notice (for purposes of this section 6.2, receipt of the Offer Notice
shall not be deemed to have occurred until the Holder shall have physically received such Offer Notice) (the “Offer Period”),
setting forth the portion of the Holder’s Basic Amount that the Holder elects to purchase and, if the Holder shall elect
to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that the Holder elects to purchase (in either case,
the “Notice of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by the Holder and all Other Exchange Warrant
Holders are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then, if the Holder has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its
Notice of Acceptance, the Holder shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription
Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, that 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”),
if the Holder has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount, then the Holder shall be entitled to purchase only that portion
of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of the Holder bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Other Exchange
Warrant Holders that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Company to the extent it deems reasonably
necessary.

6.3. The
Company shall have ten (10) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above 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 the Holder (the “Refused
Securities”), 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.


 


6.4. 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 14(c) above), then the Holder 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 the Holder elected to purchase pursuant to section 6.2 above multiplied by a fraction, (i) 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 the Holder pursuant to section 6.3 above prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator
of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that the Holder 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 Holder in accordance
with section 6.2 above.


 


6.5. Upon
the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, the Holder shall acquire from
the Company, and the Company shall issue to the Holder, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Holder’s
Notice of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to section 6.3 above if the Holder has so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified
in the Offer. The purchase by the Holder of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to (i) the preparation, execution and
delivery by the Company and the Holder of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form
and substance to the Holder and its respective counsel (the “Subsequent Placement Agreement”), (ii) the Holder’s
satisfaction, in its sole discretion, with the final terms and/or conditions that differ from those contained in the Offer Notice,
and (iii) the Holder’s reasonable satisfaction with the identity of the other Persons to which the Offered Securities will
be sold.


 


6.6. Any
Offered Securities not acquired by the Holder or other Persons in accordance with this paragraph may not be issued, sold or exchanged
until they are again offered to the Holder under the procedures specified in this Letter Agreement.


 


6.7. The
Company and the Holder agree that if the Holder elects to participate in the Offer, without the written consent of the Holder,
neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto shall
include any term or provision whereby the Holder shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any securities
of the Company with respect to any period after the public announcement of such Subsequent Placement beyond those restrictions
on the transfer or sale of the securities purchased in such Subsequent Placement agreed to by other purchasers in such Subsequent
Placement or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver or release under or in connection
with, any agreement previously entered into with the Company or any instrument received from the Company.
