and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and Nasdaq for the two years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter
period as the Company was required by law or regulation to file such material) pursuant to the applicable securities laws and stock exchange
rules. As of their respective filing or furnishing dates, or to the extent corrected by a subsequent restatement, the SEC Documents complied
in all material respects with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or Nasdaq’s
rules, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as applicable, to the respective SEC Documents, and,
none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed or furnished, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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, not misleading.
(ii) The
financial statements (including any related notes) contained in the SEC Documents (collectively, the “Financial Statements”):
(a) were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent

over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting (other than as set forth in the SEC Documents).
(iv) There
is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company (or any Subsidiary) and an unconsolidated or other off balance

or any of its Subsidiaries’ knowledge, threatened to be brought by or before any Governmental Authority, that would have a Material
Adverse Effect. There is no unsatisfied judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental authority or arbitrator outstanding
against or any open injunction binding upon the Company or its Subsidiaries that would have a Material Adverse Effect. SEC has not issued
any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries

September 30, 2022, (i) the Company and its Subsidiaries have carried on their respective businesses in the ordinary course, consistent
with past practice, and, there has not been any change, development, occurrence or event that have had or would reasonably be expected

in filings made with SEC, (iii) the Company has not altered materially its method of accounting or the manner in which it keeps its accounting
books and records, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders

similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in cost.

to the Purchaser a copy of any such disclosures and will notify the Purchaser of the occurrence of any Disqualification Event occurring
subsequent to the date hereof and prior to the Closing. The Company is not for any other reason disqualified from reliance upon Regulation

financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby and any advice given by any such Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to the Purchaser’s purchase of the Shares.

There are no outstanding loans, advances (except advances for business expenses in the ordinary course of business) or guarantees of indebtedness

of the Company or any of their respective family members that are required to be disclosed and have not been disclosed in the SEC Documents.
(x)
The Company acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Purchased Shares may be pledged by the
Purchaser in connection with a bona fide margin agreement, which shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Purchased
Shares hereunder, and such Purchaser effecting a pledge of Purchased Shares shall not be required to provide the Company with any notice
thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, provided such pledge shall be effected in compliance
with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation
as a pledgee of the Purchased Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Purchased Shares to such pledgee by such
Purchaser.

The Company meets the registration and transaction requirements for use of Form F-3 for the registration of the Purchased Shares for resale
by the Purchaser.

request (“Request Notice”) to the Holders, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as
practicable, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered and
included in such registration by written notice given by the Holders to the Company
within ten (10) days after receipt of the Request Notice, subject only to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.
| (b) | Underwritten offering. |
If the Holder initiating the registration
request under this Section 2 (“Initiating Holder”) intends to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its
request by means of an underwritten offering, then it shall so advise the Company as a part of its request made pursuant to this Section
2 and the Company shall include such information in the Request Notice. In such an event, the right of the Holders to include their Registrable
Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of
such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by such Holders) to the extent provided
herein. The Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwritten offering shall enter into an underwriting
agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Holders of a majority
of the Registrable Securities being registered and reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
2, if the underwriter advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten,
then the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto,
and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwritten offering shall be reduced as required by the underwriter
and allocated among the Holders of Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis according to the number of the Registrable Securities then
outstanding held by the Holders requesting registration (including the Initiating Holder); provided, however, that the number
of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced unless all other securities
(other than Registrable Securities) the right of the underwriter to exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration
and underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other
person, including, without limitation, any person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company)
shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded. If any Holders disapproves
of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holders may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter,
which notice shall be delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable
Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.
| (c) | Maximum Number of Demand Registrations |
The Company shall not be obligated to
effect more than three (3) such demand registration requested by the Initiating Holder pursuant to this Section 2; provided, that
a registration requested pursuant to this Section 2 shall not be deemed to have been effected for purposes of this Section 2(c) unless
(i) it has been declared effective by the Commission, (ii) it has remained effective for the period set forth in Section 5(a),
and (iii) the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration is not subject to any stop order, injunction or other order
or requirement of the Commission (other than any such stop order, injunction, or other requirement of the Commission prompted by act or
omission of the Holders of Registrable Securities).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Company shall furnish to the Holders requesting registration pursuant to this Section 2, a certificate signed by a director of the Company
stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such
registration statement to be filed at such time, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than
sixty (60) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holder; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize
this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; provided further, that the Company shall not register any other Ordinary
Shares during such deferral period. A demand right shall not be deemed to have been exercised until such deferred registration shall have
been effected.
All expenses incurred in connection with
any registration, pursuant to this Section 2, including without limitation all federal and “blue sky” registration, filing
and qualification fees, printer’s and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be borne by
the Company. The Holders participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall bear its proportionate share (based on the total
number of shares sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of all discounts, commissions, or other amounts
payable to underwriters or brokers (if any), and the Holders’ legal fees, in connection with such offering by the Holders. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding began pursuant to this Section
2 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of the Registrable Securities to be registered,
unless the Holders of the Outstanding Registrable Securities agree that such registration constitutes the use by the Holders of one (1)
demand registration pursuant to Section 2; provided, further, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the
Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company not known to the Holders at
the time of their request for such registration and have withdrawn their request for registration with reasonable promptness after learning
of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and such registration shall not constitute
the use of a demand registration pursuant to this Section 2.
| 3. | Piggyback Registrations |
Subject to Section 9 of this Agreement,
the Company shall notify the Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing any registration statement
under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company and shall afford the Holders an opportunity
to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by the Holders. The Holders desiring
to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders shall within twenty (20)
days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the
Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holders wishes to include in such registration statement. If the Holders decide not
to include all of their Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, the Holders shall nevertheless
continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as
may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of their securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
| (b) | Underwritten offering. |
If a registration statement under which
the Company gives notice under this Section 3 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Holders. In such
event, the right of the Holders’ Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conditioned
upon the Holders’ participation in such underwritten offering and the inclusion of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in
the underwriting to the extent provided herein. The Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwritten
offering shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such
underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter determines in good faith that marketing
factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter may exclude shares from the registration
and the underwritten offering and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwritten offering shall be
allocated, first to the Company, and second, to the Holders of other securities of the Company; provided, however,
that the right of the underwriter to exclude Ordinary Shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and underwritten
offering as described above shall be restricted so that all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other person,
including, without limitation, any person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) shall
first be excluded from such registration and underwritten offering before any Registrable Securities are so excluded. If any Holders
disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holders may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and
the underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable
Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.
All expenses incurred in connection with
a registration pursuant to this Section 3 (excluding underwriters’ and brokers’ discounts and commissions relating to shares
sold by the Holders and legal-fees of counsel for the Holders), including, without limitation all federal and “blue sky” registration,
filing and qualification fees, printer’s and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be borne
by the Company.
| (d) | Not Demand Registration |
Registration pursuant to this Section
3 shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Section 2 above. Except as otherwise provided herein, there shall be
no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 3.
| (a) | Notice and Registration |
Subject to Section 9
of this Agreement, in case the Company shall, at any time, receive from any Holder or Holders of a majority of all the Outstanding Registrable
Securities a written request that the Company effect a registration on Form F-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect
to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders, then the Company will: (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed
registration and the Holders’ request therefor, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable
Securities; and (ii) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested
and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders’ Registrable Securities as are
specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holders joining in such request
as are specified in a written request given within twenty (20) days after the Company provides the notice contemplated by Section 4(a)(i)
above.
The Company shall pay
all expenses incurred in connection with each registration requested pursuant to this Section 4 (excluding underwriters’ or brokers’
discounts and commissions relating to shares sold by the Holders and legal fees of counsel for the Holders), including without limitation
federal and “blue sky” registration, filing and qualification fees, printer’s and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements
of counsel for the Company.
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Registrable Securities request the filing of a registration statement pursuant
to this Section 4 and the Company furnishes to such Holders a certificate signed by a director of the Company stating that in the good
faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental
to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to be filed, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing
for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request of the initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company
may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period.
| (d) | Not Demand Registration |
Form F-3 registrations
pursuant to this Section 4 shall not be deemed to be demand registrations as described in Section 2 above. Except as otherwise provided
herein, there shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section
4.
| 5. | Obligations of the Company |
Whenever required to effect
the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
| (a) | Registration Statement |
prepare and file with the Commission a
registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration
statement to become effective and keep such registration statement effective for a period of time required for the disposition of such
Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to keep any such
registration statement effective for more than ninety (90) days;
| (b) | Amendments and Supplements |
prepare and file with the Commission such
amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may
be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration
statement;
furnish to the Holders such number of
conformed copies of the applicable registration statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto (including in each case all exhibits),
and copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other
documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them that are included
in such registration;
use its commercially reasonable efforts
to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions
as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be
required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process
in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required
by the Securities Act;
in the event of any underwritten public
offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter
of such offering. If the Holders participating in such underwriting, it shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an
agreement;
notify the Holders of Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement at any time (i) when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes
an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, (ii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) of the receipt by the Company
or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Ordinary Shares for sale in any jurisdiction
or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (iv) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements
to such Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;
| (g) | Post-Effective Amendments |
upon the occurrence of any event contemplated
by Section 5(f)(i) above, promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to such registration statement or a supplement to the related prospectus
or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the Holders, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact 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 Section 5(f)(i) above to suspend the use of the
prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such prospectus and use
their reasonable efforts to return to the Company all copies of such prospectus (at the Company’s expense) other than permanent
file copies then in such Holders’ possession, and the period of effectiveness of such registration statement provided for above
shall be extended by the number of days from and including the date of the giving of such notice to the date Holders shall have received
such amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant to this Section 5(g);
| (h) | Opinion and Comfort Letter |
furnish, at the request of the Holders
requesting registration of Registrable Securities, on the date that such Registrable Securities is delivered to the underwriter for sale,
if such securities are being sold through underwriter, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriter, on the date that
the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing
the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriter in an underwritten public
offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriter, if
any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a “comfort” letter dated as of such date,
from the independent certified auditors of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified auditors
to underwriter in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration,
addressed to the underwriter, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities;
| (i) | Compliance with Securities Law |
otherwise use its reasonable efforts to
comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to the Company’s security Holders, as soon
as reasonably practicable but no later than fifteen (15) months after the effective date of the registration statement, an earnings statement
covering a period of twelve (12) months beginning after the effective date of the registration statement, in a manner which satisfies
the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;
use its commercially reasonable efforts
to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are
listed, provided that the applicable listing requirement are satisfied;
make reasonably available for inspection
by the single representative of the Holders, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement
and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such representative or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other records,
pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply
all relevant information reasonably requested by such representative or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection
with the registration; and
use reasonable efforts to procure the
cooperation of the Company’s transfer agent in settling any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including with respect to
the transfer of physical stock certificates into book-entry form in accordance with any procedures reasonably requested by the Holders
or the underwriter.
It shall be a condition precedent
to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 2, 3 or 4 that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company
such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities
as shall be required to timely effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.
In the event any Registrable
Securities are included in a registration statement under Section 2, 3 or 4:
To the extent permitted by applicable
law, the Company will, with respect to any Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement, or as to which registration, qualification
or compliance under applicable “blue sky” laws has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless the
Holders, the Holders’ officers, directors, partners, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees, and each
Person, if any, controlling such Holders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages,
or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state
law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the
following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”):
| (i) | any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements
thereto; |
| (ii) | the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or |
| (iii) | any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act
or any federal or state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement; |
and the Company will reimburse each such
Holders, partner, officer or director, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred,
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in Section 7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company
be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon
a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
registration by such Holders, partner, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of such Holders.
To the extent permitted by law, each Holders
will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holders are included in the securities as to which registration or qualification or compliance
under applicable “blue sky” laws is being effected, indemnify, severally and not jointly with any other Holders of Registrable
Securities, the Company, each of its officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and
employees, each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Holders
Indemnified Parties”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to Holders Indemnifier Parties,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in
each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished by such Holders expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holders will reimburse any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Holders Indemnified Parties in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action: provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph 7(b) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of
the Holders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, that the total amounts payable in
indemnity by a Holders under this paragraph 7(b) in respect of any Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such Holders
in the registered offering out of which such Violation arises.
If the indemnification provided for in
this Section 7 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified parties in connection with the actions which
resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified parties 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 to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party
or indemnified parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above
shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation
or proceeding. If the allocation provided in this paragraph (c) is not permitted by applicable law, the parties shall contribute based
upon the relevant benefits received by the Company from the initial offering of the Registrable Securities on the one hand and the net
proceeds received by the Holders from the sale of the Registrable Securities on the other.
The parties hereto agree that it would
not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(c) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method
of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person
(as defined in the Exchange Act) guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall
be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified
party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will,
if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 7, deliver to the indemnifying party a written
notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying
party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory
to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees
and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying
party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented
by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement
of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 7 to the extent the
indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result thereof, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnified party will not
relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7.
The obligations of the Company and the
Holders under this Section 7 shall survive until the fifth anniversary of the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in
a registration statement, regardless of the expiration of any statutes of limitation or extensions of such statutes.
| 8. | No Registration Rights to
Third Parties |
Without the prior written
consent of the Holders of a majority in interest of the Outstanding Registrable Securities, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall
not grant, or cause or permit to be created, for the benefit of any person or entity any registration rights of any kind (whether similar
to the demand, “piggyback” or Form F-3 registration rights described in this Agreement, or otherwise) relating to shares or
any other voting securities of the Company, other than rights that are subordinate in right to the Holders.
| 9. | Exercise of Registration Rights
by the Holders |
Prior to the date that is
forty-five (45) days after the date of the First Closing, the Company shall have no obligations pursuant to Sections 2, 3 and 4 of this
Agreement with respect to any Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holders in a registration statement pursuant to Section
2, 3 or 4.
The registration rights under
this Agreement may be assigned by any Holders; provided however that:
| (a) | no party may be assigned any of such rights unless the Company is given
written notice by the assigning party at the time of such assignment stating the name and address of the assignee and identifying the
securities of the Company as to which the rights in question are being assigned; and |
| (b) | any such assignee shall receive such assigned rights subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions in this Section 10. |
| 11. | Reports Under the Exchange
Act |
With a view to making available
to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144, the Company agrees to, for as long as a Holders owns Registrable Securities, the Company will
use its commercially reasonable efforts to:
| (a) | make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood
and defined in Rule 144, at all times after the date hereof; |
| (b) | file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents
required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements);
and |
| (c) | furnish to any Holders, so long as the Holders owns any Registrable Securities,
forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act, or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form F-3 (at any time
after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and (iii) such other reports and documents
of the Company as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission that permits the selling
of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form. |
| 12. | Termination of the Company’s
Obligations |
The Company shall have no
obligations pursuant to Sections 2, 3 and 4 with respect to any Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holders in a registration
pursuant to Section 2, 3 or 4 (i) at such date after the date hereof at which such Holders, (A) can sell all shares held by it in compliance
with Rule 144(k) or (B) holds one percent (1%) or less of the Company’s Outstanding Ordinary Shares and all Registrable Securities
held by such Holders (together with any affiliate of the Holders with whom such Holders must aggregate their sales under Rule 144) can
be sold in any three (3) month period without registration in compliance with Rule 144. In addition, the Company shall have no obligations
pursuant to Sections 2 and 4 hereof from and after such time as the Holders in the aggregate beneficially own, directly or indirectly,
less than twenty-five percent (25%) in number of the Purchased Shares.
This Agreement shall become effective
immediately at the First Closing, and may be terminated at any time with the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities then outstanding and entitled to the registration rights set forth in this Agreement.
Any provision of this Agreement may be
amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively),
with the written consent of the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding and entitled to the
registration rights set forth in this Agreement. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 13 shall be binding
upon all parties hereto.
If any provisions of this
Agreement shall be adjudicated to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any action or proceeding whether in its entirety or in any portion,
then such provision shall be deemed amended, if possible, or deleted, as the case may be, from the Agreement in order to render the remainder
of the Agreement and any provision thereof both valid and enforceable, and all other provisions hereof shall be given effect separately
therefrom and shall not be affected thereby.
This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement and
supersedes all previous proposals, representations, warranties, agreements, or undertakings relating thereto whether oral, written
or otherwise and no party hereto has relied or is entitled to rely on any such proposals, representations, warranties, agreements or
undertakings.
The parties hereto agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and
that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.
This Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts and by the parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an
original but all the counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
