                                         are legal and practical limits on its ability to sell or dispose of the Ordinary Shares
                                         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;

 

		(g)	the
                                         Purchaser (i) has such knowledge and experience in business matters as to be capable
                                         of evaluating the merits and risks of its prospective investment in the Ordinary Shares;
                                         and (ii) has the ability to bear the economic risks of its prospective investment and
                                         can afford the complete loss of such investment;

 

		(h)	the
                                         Purchaser is not aware of any advertisement of any of the Ordinary Shares and is not
                                         acquiring any of the Ordinary Shares as a result of any form of general solicitation
                                         or general advertising including advertisements, articles, notices or other communications
                                         published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over radio or television,
                                         or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by general solicitation or
                                         general advertising;

 

     

     

    

  

		(i)	no
                                         person has made any written or oral representations to the Purchaser:

 

		(i)	that
                                         any person will resell or repurchase any of the Ordinary Shares;

 

		(ii)	that
                                         any person will refund the purchase price of any of the Ordinary Shares; or

 

		(iii)	as
                                         to the future price or value of any of the Ordinary Shares; and

 

		(j)	the
                                         Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and, where applicable, its directors,
                                         officers, employees, agents, advisors and shareholders, from and against any and all
                                         loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to,
                                         any and all fees, costs and expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating,
                                         preparing or defending against any claim, lawsuit, administrative proceeding or investigation
                                         whether commenced or threatened) arising out of or based upon any representation or warranty
                                         of the Purchaser contained herein or in any document furnished by the Purchaser to the
                                         Company in connection herewith being untrue in any material respect or any breach or
                                         failure by the Purchaser to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the Purchaser
                                         to the Company in connection therewith.

 

7.3                            Between
the date of this Agreement and the Closing, the Purchaser shall notify the Company if any of the above representations and warranties
ceases to be true.

 

7.4                            Each
Purchaser, severally but not jointly, acknowledges that the representations and warranties contained herein are made by it with
the intention that they may be relied upon by the Company and its legal counsel in determining such Purchaser's eligibility to
purchase the Ordinary Shares for which it is subscribing under applicable securities legislation. Each Purchaser further agrees
that by accepting delivery of the certificates representing the Ordinary Shares on the Closing Date, it will be representing and
warranting that the representations and warranties contained herein are true and correct as at the Closing Date with the same
force and effect as if they had been made by the Purchaser at the Closing Date and that they will survive the purchase by the
Purchaser of Ordinary Shares and will continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any subsequent disposition by the Purchaser
of such Ordinary Shares.

8.1                            The

                                         the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except
                                         where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not

                                         Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate
                                         the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and to carry out its obligations
                                         hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement by the Company and

The Company shall register for resale of some or all (depending on the limitations set out in this Agreement) of the Registrable
Securities with the Commission simultaneous with the filing of a registration statement with the Commission for the initial public
offering of shares of the Company’s ordinary shares on Form F-1 (the “F-1”).

 

2.                 
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause a Registration Statement to be declared
effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the applicable
Effectiveness Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities
Act until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or may be sold without volume restrictions
pursuant to Rule 144(k) as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed
and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Holders (the “Effectiveness Period”)

 

     

     

    

  

3.                 
If the registration is being made pursuant to a registered public offering that is to be made by underwriter(s), the Company
shall so advise the Holders of the Registrable Securities eligible for inclusion in such Registration Statement pursuant to Section
3. In that event, the right of any Holder to registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation and the
inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registered public offering to the extent provided herein. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time the SEC takes the position that the
offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous
basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to persuade
the SEC that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by
or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415. The Holder shall have the right to participate in any meetings or discussions
regarding the SEC’s position and to comment on any written submission made to the SEC with respect thereto. In the event
that, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 2(c), the
SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable
Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration
and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements
of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”); provided however, that the Company shall not agree
to name any Holder as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Holder.
The Company shall so advise all Holders (except those Holders who failed to timely elect to include their Registrable Securities
or have indicated to the Company their decision not to do so), and indicate to each such Holder the number of shares of Registrable
Securities that may be included in the registration. The number of ordinary shares that may be included in the F-1, subject to
the SEC Restrictions if any, shall be allocated first to the Company and then, subject to obligations and commitments existing
as of the date hereof, to all selling stockholders, including the Holders, who have requested to sell in the registration on a
pro rata basis according to the number of shares requested to be included therein.

 

C.             Registration

In
connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

 

1.

incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Holders, and (ii) cause its officers
and directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the
reasonable opinion of respective counsel to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company
shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of
a majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in good faith, provided that, the Company is notified of such

the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement),
and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments

so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

 

     

     

    

  

3.

by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one business day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or
any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission
notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments
in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses
thereto to each of the Holders); and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same

the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of
the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose;
(v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement
ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration
Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be,
it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (vi) the
occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material
and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability
of a Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided that any and all of such information shall remain confidential to each Holder
until such information otherwise becomes public, unless disclosure by a Holder is required by law; provided, further,
notwithstanding each Holder’s agreement to keep such information confidential, the Holders make no acknowledgement that
any such information is material, non-public information.

 

4.                 
Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness
of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

 

5.                 
Promptly deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of
prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request in connection with resales by the
Holder of Registrable Securities. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus
and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable
Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving on any notice pursuant
to Section 3(c).

 

6.                 
Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify
or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the Registration
or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions
within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption
therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable
the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that the
Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject
the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service
of process in any such jurisdiction.

 

     

     

    

  

7.                 
If requested by the Holders, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall
be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities
to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may request.

 

8.                 
Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by this Section 3, as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances
taking into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders
of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration
Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference,
and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will
contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies
the Holders in accordance with clauses (ii) through (vi) of 3(c) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite
changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use its best
efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company shall be entitled to
exercise its right under this Section to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment
of partial liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(b), for a period not to exceed 60 days (which need not be consecutive days)
in any 12 month period.

 

9.                 
Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.

 

10.             
The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of ordinary shares
beneficially owned by such Holder and, if required by the Commission, the person thereof that has voting and dispositive control
over those ordinary shares. During any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the
registration of the Registrable Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such information within three business days
of the Company’s request, any liquidated damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled and
any Event that may otherwise occur solely because of such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until such information
is delivered to the Company.

 

D.             Registration
Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne
by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses
referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without
limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with the Trading Market on which the Company’s
ordinary shares is then listed for trading, (B) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed
to by the Company in writing (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with
Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities and determination of the eligibility of the Registrable Securities
for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as requested by the Holders) and (C) if not previously paid by the Company
in connection with an Issuer Filing, with respect to any filing that may be required to be made by any broker through which a
Holder intends to make sales of Registrable Securities with NASD Regulation, Inc. pursuant to the NASD Rule 2710, so long as the
broker is receiving no more than a customary brokerage commission in connection with such sale, (ii) printing expenses (including,
without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if the printing
of prospectuses is reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in a Registration
Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities
Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by
the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall
be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or
accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable
Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar
commissions or, except to the extent provided for in the Transaction Documents, any legal fees or other costs of the Holders.

 

     

     

    

  

E.             Indemnification

 

1.                 
Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely
upon: (x) such Holder’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (y) any untrue
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus,
or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged
omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (i) to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing
by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) to the extent
that (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the
Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s
proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly
for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (2)
in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated
or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and
prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d). In no event shall the liability of any selling
Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the
Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

2.                 
Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled
to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from
whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right
to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment
of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give
such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and
only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject
to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

 

An
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying
Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the
defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or
(3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying
Party, and such Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same
counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies
the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying
Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel shall
be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding
effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified
Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims
that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

 

     

     

    

  

Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses
to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with
this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten business days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying
Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees
and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, determined
based upon the relative faults of the parties.

 

3.                 
Contribution. If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient
to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified
Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission
or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party
or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include,
subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred
by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses
if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

 

The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by
pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred
to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to
contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the
sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, except in the case
of fraud by such Holder.

 

The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties
may have to the Indemnified Parties.

 

     

     

    

  

F.             Miscellaneous

 

1.                 
Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement,
each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under
this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The
Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason
of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific
performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

2.                 
Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

 

3.                 
Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of
a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c), such Holder will forthwith discontinue
disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the
supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”)
by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional
or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.
The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as it practicable. The
Company agrees and acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable
Securities hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2(b).

 

4.                 
Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended,
modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall
be in writing and signed by the Company and Holder’s holding at least 51% of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates
exclusively to the rights of Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given
by Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that
the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the
immediately preceding sentence.

 

5.                 
Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall
be delivered as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

     

     

    

  

6.                 
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted
assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder
may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under the Purchase Agreement.

 

7.                 
No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor
shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to
its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts
with the provisions hereof.

 

8.                 
Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed
shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that
any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing
(or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the
original thereof.

 

9.                 
Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement
shall be determined with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

10.             
Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

 

11.             
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.

 

12.             
Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect
the meaning hereof.

 

13.             
Independent Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and
not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance
of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at
any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership,
an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in
concert with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Holder shall be entitled to
protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary
for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
