1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
May 4, 2026, Roadzen Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Agency Agreement”)
with Maxim Group LLC (the “Placement Agent”) and a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with
purchasers for the purchase and sale, in a best efforts offering (the “Offering”), of 4,705,870 of the Company’s ordinary
shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), at an offering price of $1.70 per Share.
The
Offering closed on May 5, 2026. The Company received gross proceeds of $7,999,979 in connection with the Offering, before deducting Placement
Agent fees and other Offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working
capital and general corporate purposes. The Company may also use a portion of the net proceeds to repay indebtedness outstanding.
The
4,705,870 Ordinary Shares sold in the Offering were offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3
(File No. 333-282966), previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 1, 2024 and declared
effective on November 12, 2024, including the base prospectus contained therein and a prospectus supplement dated May 4, 2026.
As
part of its compensation for acting as Placement Agent for the Offering, the Company paid the Placement Agent a cash fee of 6.0% of the
aggregate gross proceeds and $30,000 as reimbursement of the Placement Agent’s accountable expenses.
The
Agency Agreement and the Purchase Agreement contain customary representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company. They also
provide for customary indemnification by the Company for losses or damages arising out of or in connection with the Offering, among other
things. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Agency Agreement, the Company has agreed for a period of 20-days from May 5, 2026,
subject to certain exceptions, not to (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any
Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share equivalents, other than certain exempted issuance, or (ii) file any registration statement or any amendment
or supplement thereto, other than the prospectus supplement in connection with the Offering or a registration statement on Form S-8 in
connection with any employee benefit plan.
The
foregoing descriptions of the Agency Agreement and the Purchase Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety
by reference to the copies of the Agency Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.
The
representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Agency Agreement and the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of
such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the applicable agreement and may be subject to
limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Accordingly, each of the Agency Agreement and the Purchase Agreement is incorporated
herein by reference only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of such agreement, and not to provide investors with
any other factual information regarding the Company or its business, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in the Company’s
periodic reports and other filings with the SEC.

in the Offering is filed as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.

Assumptions
The
following opinions are given only as to, and based on, circumstances and matters of fact existing and known to us on the date of this
opinion letter. These opinions only relate to the laws of the British Virgin Islands which are in force on the date of this opinion letter.
In giving the following opinions we have relied (without further verification) upon the completeness and accuracy, as at the date of
this opinion letter, of the Registry List of Directors, the Registered Agent’s Certificate, the Director’s Certificate and
the Certificate of Good Standing. We have also relied upon the following assumptions, which we have not independently verified:
2.1
The
SPA has been or will be authorised and duly executed and unconditionally delivered by or on behalf of all relevant parties in accordance
with all relevant laws (other than, with respect to the Company, the laws of the British Virgin Islands).
2.2
The SPA
is, or will be, legal, valid, binding and enforceable against all relevant parties in accordance with their terms under the laws
of the State of New York (the “Relevant Law”) and all other relevant laws (other than, with respect to the Company,
the laws of the British Virgin Islands).
2.3
The choice
of the Relevant Law as the governing law of the SPA has been made in good faith and would be regarded as a valid and binding selection
which will be upheld by the courts of the State of New York and any other relevant jurisdiction (other than the British Virgin Islands)
as a matter of the Relevant Law and all other relevant laws (other than the laws of the British Virgin Islands).
2.4
Copies
of documents, conformed copies or drafts of documents provided to us are true and complete copies of, or in the final forms of, the
originals.
2.5
All signatures,
initials and seals are genuine.
2.6
The capacity,
power, authority and legal right of all parties under all relevant laws and regulations (other than, with respect to the Company,
the laws and regulations of the British Virgin Islands) to enter into, execute, unconditionally deliver and perform their respective
obligations under the SPA.
2
2.7
That
all public records of the Company which we have examined are accurate and that the information disclosed by the searches which we
conducted against the Company at the Registry of Corporate Affairs and the High Court Registry is true and complete and that such
information has not since then been altered and that such searches did not fail to disclose any such information which had been delivered
for registration but did not appear on the public records at the date of our searches.
2.8
No invitation
has been or will be made by or on behalf of the Company to the public in the British Virgin Islands to subscribe for any of the Ordinary
Shares.
2.9
There
is no contractual or other prohibition or restriction (other than as arising under British Virgin Islands law) binding on the Company
prohibiting or restricting it from entering into and performing its obligations under the SPA and the Registration Statement.
2.10
No monies
paid to or for the account of any party under the SPA or any property received or disposed of by any party to the SPA in each case
in connection with the SPA or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby represent or will represent proceeds of criminal
conduct or criminal property or terrorist property (as defined in the Proceeds of Criminal Conduct Act (As Revised)).
2.11
There
is nothing contained in the minute book or corporate records of the Company (which we have not inspected) which would or might affect
the opinions set out below.
2.12
There
is nothing under any law (other than the laws of the British Virgin Islands) which would or might affect the opinions set out below.
Specifically, we have made no independent investigation of the Relevant Law.
2.13
The Company
will have sufficient authorised and unissued shares under the Memorandum and Articles at the time any Ordinary Shares were or are
issued.
2.14
The Company
will receive or has received, cash consideration or non-cash consideration in consideration for the issue of the Ordinary Shares
and none of the Ordinary Shares were, or will be, issued for less than par value.
2.15
The Ordinary
Shares that will be issued pursuant to the SPA will be duly registered, and will continue to be registered, in the Company’s
register of members.
2.16
There
are no circumstances or matters of fact existing which may properly form the basis for an application for an order for rectification
of the register of members of the Company.
Save
as aforesaid we have not been instructed to undertake and have not undertaken any further enquiry or due diligence in relation to the
transaction the subject of this opinion letter.
3
Opinions
Based
upon, and subject to, the foregoing assumptions and the qualifications set out below, and having regard to such legal considerations
as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:
3.1
The
Company is a company limited by shares incorporated with limited liability under the BVI Business Companies Act (As Revised) (the
“Act”), is in good standing at the Registry of Corporate Affairs and is validly existing under the laws of the
British Virgin Islands.
3
3.2
The Ordinary
Shares to be offered and issued by the Company as contemplated by the SPA have been duly authorised for issue, and when issued by
the Company against payment in full of the consideration as set out in the SPA and in accordance with the terms set out in the SPA,
such Ordinary Shares will be validly allotted and issued as fully paid and non-assessable. As a matter of British Virgin Islands
law, a share is only issued when it has been entered in the register of members.
4
Qualifications
The
opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:
4.1
The
obligations assumed by the Company under the SPA will not necessarily be enforceable in all circumstances in accordance with their
terms. In particular:
(a)
enforcement
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganisation, readjustment of debts or moratorium or other laws of general
application relating to or affecting the rights of creditors;
(b)
enforcement
may be limited by general principles of equity. For example, equitable remedies such as specific performance may not be available,
inter alia, where damages are considered to be an adequate remedy;
(c)
where
obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside the British Virgin Islands, they may not be enforceable in the British
Virgin Islands to the extent that performance would be illegal under the laws of that jurisdiction; and
(d)
some
claims may become barred under relevant statutes of limitation or may be or become subject to defences of set off, counterclaim,
estoppel and similar defences.
4.2
To
maintain the Company in good standing with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, annual
filing fees must be paid and returns made to the Registrar of Corporate Affairs within the time frame prescribed by law.
4.3
Under
British Virgin Islands law, the register of members is prima facie evidence of title to shares and this register would not
record a third party interest in such shares. However, there are certain limited circumstances where an application may be made to
a British Virgin Islands court for a determination on whether the register of members reflects the correct legal position. Further,
the British Virgin Islands court has the power to order that the register of members maintained by a company should be rectified
where it considers that the register of members does not reflect the correct legal position. For the purposes of the opinion given
in paragraph 3.2, there are no circumstances or matters of fact known to us on the date of this opinion letter which would properly
form the basis for an application for an order for rectification of the register of members of the Company, but if such an application
were made in respect of the Ordinary Shares, then the validity of such shares may be subject to re-examination by a British Virgin
Islands court.
4.4
In
this opinion letter, the phrase “non-assessable” means, with respect to the issuance of shares, that a shareholder shall
not, in respect of the relevant shares and in the absence of a contractual arrangement, or an obligation pursuant to the memorandum
and articles of association, to the contrary, have any obligation to make further contributions to the Company’s assets (except
in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose
or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).
4
4.5
The search
of records of proceedings available at the High Court Registry would not reveal any proceeding which has been placed under seal or
anonymised (whether by order of the Court or pursuant to the practice of the High Court Registry).
We
hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K being filed on the
date hereof and incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and to the references to our firm under the headings “Legal
Matters” in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In providing our consent, we do not thereby admit that we are
in the category of persons whose consent is required under section 7 of the Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder.
We
express no view as to the commercial terms of the SPA or whether such terms represent the intentions of the parties and make no comment
with regard to warranties or representations that may be made by the Company.
The
opinions in this opinion letter are strictly limited to the matters contained in the opinions section above and do not extend to any
other matters. We have not been asked to review and we therefore have not reviewed any of the ancillary documents relating to the SPA
and express no opinion or observation upon the terms of any such document.
This
opinion letter is addressed to you and may be relied upon by you, your counsel and purchasers of Shares pursuant to the Registration
Statement. This opinion letter is limited to the matters detailed herein and is not to be read as an opinion with respect to any other
matter.
Yours
faithfully

PLACEMENT
AGENCY AGREEMENT
May 4, 2025
Roadzen
Inc.
111
Anza Blvd, Suite 109
Burlingame,
California 94010
Attn: Chief Executive Officer
Dear
Mr. Rohan Malhotra:
This
placement agency agreement (the “Agreement”) constitutes the agreement between Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”
or the “Placement Agent”) and Roadzen Inc., a British Virgin Islands business company (together with its subsidiaries,
the “Company”), that Maxim shall serve as the exclusive placement agent for the Company, on a “reasonable best
efforts” basis, for the proposed placement to certain purchasers (the “Purchasers”) of (i) up to an aggregate
amount of $8 million of ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of the Company (the
“Shares”) at a purchase price of $1.70 per Share . The documents executed and delivered by the Company and the Purchasers
in connection with the Offering (as defined below), including, without limitation, a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”), shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” The Placement Agent
may retain other brokers or dealers to act as sub-agents or selected-dealers on its behalf in connection with the Offering.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Placement Agent determines that any of the terms provided for hereunder do not
comply with a rule of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), including but not limited to FINRA Rule
5110, then the Company shall agree to amend this Agreement in writing upon the request of the Placement Agent to comply with any such
rules; provided that any such amendments shall not provide for terms that are less favorable to the Company than the terms of this Agreement.
Section
1. Agreement to Act as Placement Agent.
(a) On
the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained, and subject to all the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, the Placement Agent shall be the exclusive placement agent in connection with the offering and sale by the Company
of the Shares pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-282966) (the “Registration
Statement”), with the terms of such offering (the “Offering”) to be subject to market conditions and negotiations
between the Company, the Placement Agent and the prospective Purchasers. The Placement Agent will act on a reasonable best efforts basis
and the Company agrees and acknowledges that there is no guarantee of the successful placement of the Securities, or any portion thereof,
in the prospective Offering. Under no circumstances will the Placement Agent or any of its Affiliates (as defined below) be obligated
to underwrite or purchase any of the Shares for its own account or otherwise provide any financing. The Placement Agent shall act solely
as the Company’s agent and not as principal. The Placement Agent shall have no authority to bind the Company with respect to any
prospective offer to purchase the Shares and the Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase the Shares and may reject
any such offer, in whole or in part. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of,
the Shares shall be made at the closing (the “Closing” and the date on which the Closing occurs, the “Closing
Date”). The Closing shall occur via “Delivery Versus Payment” (“DVP”), i.e., on the Closing
Date, the Company shall issue the Shares directly to the account designated by the Placement Agent and, upon receipt of such Shares,
the Placement Agent shall cause the Shares to be electronically delivered to the applicable Purchaser and payment shall be made by the
Placement Agent (or their clearing firm) by wire transfer to the Company, and delivery of the Shares shall be delivered via The Depository
Trust Company Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system for the account of the applicable Purchaser as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
As compensation for services rendered, the Company shall pay to the Placement Agent the fees and expenses set forth below:
1. a
cash fee equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the
Shares at the Closing; and
2. reimbursement
of the Placement Agent’s accountable expenses, including the Placement Agent’s
legal counsel’s legal fees, up to $30,000.
The
Placement Agent reserves the right to reduce any item of compensation or adjust the terms thereof as specified herein in the event that
a determination shall be made by FINRA to the effect that the Placement Agent’s aggregate compensation is in excess of FINRA Rules
or that the terms thereof require adjustment, provided that any such adjustments shall not provide for terms that are less favorable

Section
2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. The Company hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Placement
Agent as of the date hereof, and as of the Closing Date, unless such representation, warranty or agreement specifies a different date
or time, as follows:
(a) Securities
Law Filings. The Company has prepared and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) the Registration Statement, including the prospectus contained therein, including any documents
incorporated by reference therein (the “Base Prospectus”), for the registration under the Securities Act of the
Shares. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the Commission on November 12, 2024. At the time of such filing, the
Company met the requirements of Form S-3 under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement meets the requirements set forth in
Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act and complies with said Rule. The Company will file with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations (the “Rules and Regulations”) of the Commission
promulgated thereunder, a prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the Base Prospectus relating to
the placement of the Shares and the plan of distribution thereof and has advised the Placement Agent of all further information
(financial and other) with respect to the Company required to be set forth therein. Any reference in this Agreement to the
Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents
incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”) pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on or before the date of this
Agreement, or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be; and any reference in this
Agreement to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration
Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under
the Exchange Act after the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the
case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference. All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules
and other information which is “contained,” “included,” “described,” “referenced,”
“set forth” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (and
all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other
information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the
Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be. The Company has not received any notice that the Commission has issued or intends to
issue a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the use of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus
Supplement, and no proceeding for any such purpose is pending or has been initiated or, to the Company’s knowledge, is
threatened by the Commission. For purposes of this Agreement, “Free Writing Prospectus” has the meaning set forth
in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.
2
(b) Assurances.
The Registration Statement (and any further documents to be filed with the Commission) contains all exhibits and schedules as
required by the Securities Act. Each of the Registration Statement and any post- effective amendment thereto, at the time it became
effective, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations
and did not and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not, contain any 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 not misleading. The Base Prospectus
and the Prospectus Supplement, each as of its respective date, comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations. Each of the Base Prospectus, and the Prospectus Supplement, as amended or
supplemented, did not and will not contain as of the date thereof any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The Incorporated Documents, when they were filed with the Commission, conformed in all material respects to the
requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations, and none of such documents, when they were filed with the
Commission, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein (with respect to Incorporated Documents incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement), in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by
reference in the Base Prospectus, or Prospectus Supplement, when such documents are filed with the Commission, will conform in all
material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations, as applicable, and will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No post- effective amendment to the Registration Statement
reflecting any facts or events arising after the date thereof which represent, individually or in the aggregate, a fundamental
change in the information set forth therein is required to be filed with the Commission. There are no documents required to be filed
with the Commission in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby that (x) have not been filed as required pursuant to the
Securities Act or (y) will not be filed within the requisite time period. There are no contracts or other documents required to be
described in the Base Prospectus, or Prospectus Supplement, or to be filed as exhibits or schedules to the Registration Statement,
which (x) have not been described or filed as required or (y) will not be filed within the requisite time period.

affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance,

Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement, the issuance and sale of the Shares and the consummation by it of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to which it is a party do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any
provision of the Company’s, or any of its subsidiaries’, certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other
organizational or charter documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or

first refusal (except as disclosed in the Registration Statement and Prospectus), preemptive right or other restriction upon any of
the properties or assets of the Company, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with
or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a debt or
otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or
affected, or (iii) subject to any required approvals, conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company is subject (including
federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected; except in
the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as would not reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on: (x)

condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company; or (z) the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely
basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (x), (y), or (z), a “Material Adverse

Section
4. Covenants and Agreements of the Company. The Company further covenants and agrees with the Placement Agent as follows:
(a) Registration
Statement Matters. The Company will advise the Placement Agent promptly after it receives notice thereof of the time when any amendment
to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective or any supplement to the Prospectus Supplement has been filed and will
furnish the Placement Agent with copies thereof. The Company will file promptly all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements
required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the
date of the Prospectus Supplement and for so long as the delivery of a prospectus is required in connection with the Offering. The Company
will advise the Placement Agent, promptly after it receives notice thereof (i) of any request by the Commission to amend the Registration
Statement or to amend or supplement the Prospectus Supplement or for additional information, and (ii) of the issuance by the Commission
of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or any order directed
at any Incorporated Document, if any, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any order preventing or suspending the use of the Preliminary
Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement or any prospectus supplement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any post-effective amendment
to the Registration Statement, of the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the
institution or threatened institution of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission for the amending or
supplementing of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus Supplement or for additional information. The Company shall use its best
efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or prevention or suspension of such use. If the Commission shall enter any such
stop order or order or notice of prevention or suspension at any time, the Company will use its best efforts to obtain the lifting of
such order at the earliest possible moment, or will file a new registration statement and use its best efforts to have such new registration
statement declared effective as soon as practicable. Additionally, the Company agrees that it shall comply with the provisions of Rules
424(b), 430A, 430B and 430C, as applicable, under the Securities Act, including with respect to the timely filing of documents thereunder,
and will use its reasonable efforts to confirm that any filings made by the Company under such Rule 424(b) are received in a timely manner
by the Commission.
4
(b) Blue
Sky Compliance. The Company will cooperate with the Placement Agent and the Purchasers in endeavoring to qualify the Shares for sale
under the securities laws of such jurisdictions (United States and foreign) as the Placement Agent and the Purchasers may reasonably
request and will make such applications, file such documents, and furnish such information as may be reasonably required for that purpose,
provided the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of process in
any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or required to file such a consent, and provided further that the Company shall not
be required to produce any new disclosure document. The Company will, from time to time, prepare and file such statements, reports and
other documents as are or may be required to continue such qualifications in effect for so long a period as the Placement Agent may reasonably
request for distribution of the Shares. The Company will advise the Placement Agent promptly of the suspension of the qualification or
registration of (or any such exemption relating to) the Shares for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation or
threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification, registration
or exemption, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment.
(c) Amendments
and Supplements to a Prospectus and Other Matters. The Company will comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the
rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Shares as contemplated

law to be delivered in connection with the distribution of Shares contemplated by the Incorporated Documents or the Prospectus Supplement

in the opinion of the Placement Agent or counsel for the Placement Agent, it becomes necessary to amend or supplement the Incorporated
Documents or the Prospectus Supplement in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
as the case may be, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Incorporated Documents or the Prospectus
Supplement or to file under the Exchange Act any Incorporated Document to comply with any law, the Company will promptly prepare and
file with the Commission, and furnish at its own expense to the Placement Agent and to dealers, an appropriate amendment to the Registration
Statement or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Incorporated Documents or the Prospectus Supplement that is necessary in order
to make the statements in the Incorporated Documents and the Prospectus Supplement as so amended or supplemented, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, as the case may be, not misleading, or so that the Registration Statement, the Incorporated Documents or
the Prospectus Supplement, as so amended or supplemented, will comply with law. Before amending the Registration Statement or supplementing
the Incorporated Documents or the Prospectus Supplement in connection with the Offering, the Company will furnish the Placement Agent
with a copy of such proposed amendment or supplement and will not file any such amendment or supplement to which the Placement Agent
reasonably objects.
(d) Copies
of any Amendments and Supplements to a Prospectus. The Company will furnish the Placement Agent, without charge, during the period
beginning on the date hereof and ending on the later of the Closing Date of the Offering, as many copies of the Prospectus Supplement
or prospectus supplement and any amendments and supplements thereto, as the Placement Agent may reasonably request.
(e) Free
Writing Prospectus. The Company covenants that it will not, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, make

writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission
or retained by the Company under Rule 433 of the Securities Act. In the event that the Placement Agent expressly consents in writing
to any such free writing prospectus (a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”), the Company covenants that it shall (i)
treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and (ii) comply with the requirements of Rule 164
and 433 of the Securities Act applicable to such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission,

(j) Additional
Documents. The Company will enter into any subscription, purchase or other customary agreements as the Placement Agent or
the Purchasers deem necessary or appropriate to consummate the Offering, all of which will be in form and substance reasonably acceptable

of, the representations and warranties, and applicable covenants, set forth in any such purchase, subscription or other agreement with
Purchasers in the Offering.
(k) No
Manipulation of Price. The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or that
has constituted or might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the
Company.
(l) Acknowledgment.

and use of the Board of Directors of the Company and may not be used, reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to, without the Placement
Agent’s prior written consent.
(m) Publicity.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agent may, subsequent to the Closing, make public its involvement with the Offering.

releases or engaging in any other publicity required by law, except that including the name of the Placement Agent therein shall require

as a placement agent for the Offering was in no way conditioned, explicitly or implicitly, on the Placement Agent providing favorable
or any research coverage of the Company. In accordance with the FINRA Rules, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Placement Agent
has not directly or indirectly offered favorable research, a specific rating or a specific price target, or threatened to change research,
a rating or a price target, to the Company or inducement for the receipt of business or compensation.

to the Placement Agent. The letter shall not disclose any change in the condition (financial or other), earnings, operations, business
or prospects of the Company from that set forth in the Incorporated Documents or the Prospectus Supplement, which, in the Placement Agent’s
sole judgment, is material and adverse and that makes it, in the Placement Agent’s sole judgment, impracticable or inadvisable

the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act), and the directors, officers, agents and employees of the Placement Agent, its affiliates
and each such controlling person (the Placement Agent, and each such entity or person. an “Indemnified Person”) from
and against any losses, claims, damages, judgments, assessments, costs and other liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”),
and shall reimburse each Indemnified Person for all fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for
all Indemnified Persons, except as otherwise expressly provided herein) (collectively, the “Expenses”) as they are
incurred by an Indemnified Person in investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation,
proceeding or investigation (collectively, an “Action”), whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, (i) caused
by, or arising out of or in connection with, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, any Incorporated Document, or the Prospectus Supplement or by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (other than untrue
statements or alleged untrue statements in, or omissions or alleged omissions from, information relating to an Indemnified Person furnished
in writing by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person expressly for use in the Incorporated Documents) or (ii) otherwise arising out
of or in connection with advice or services rendered or to be rendered by any Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated thereby or any Indemnified Person’s actions or inactions in connection with any such advice, services or transactions;
provided, however, that, in the case of clause (ii) only, the Company shall not be responsible for any Liabilities or Expenses
of any Indemnified Person that are finally judicially determined to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person’s (x) gross
negligence or willful misconduct in connection with any of the advice, actions, inactions or services referred to above or (y) use of
any offering materials or information concerning the Company in connection with the offer or sale of the Shares in the Offering which
were not authorized for such use by the Company and which use constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company also agrees
to reimburse each Indemnified Person for all Expenses as they are incurred in connection with enforcing such Indemnified Person’s
rights under this Agreement.
9
(b) Upon
receipt by an Indemnified Person of actual notice of an Action against such Indemnified Person with respect to which indemnity may be
sought under this Agreement, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing; provided that failure by any Indemnified
Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any liability which the Company may have on account of this indemnity
or otherwise to such Indemnified Person, except to the extent the Company shall have been prejudiced by such failure. The Company shall,
if requested by the Placement Agent, have the right to assume the defense of any such Action including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Placement Agent, which counsel may also be counsel to the Company. Any Indemnified Person shall have the right to
employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be
at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company has failed promptly to assume the defense and employ counsel or (ii)
the named parties to any such Action (including any impeded parties) include such Indemnified Person and the Company, and such Indemnified
Person shall have been advised in the reasonable opinion of counsel that there is an actual conflict of interest that prevents the counsel
selected by the Company from representing both the Company (or another client of such counsel) and any Indemnified Person; provided that
the Company shall not in such event be responsible hereunder for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of separate counsel for
all Indemnified Persons in connection with any Action or related Actions, in addition to any local counsel. The Company shall not be
liable for any settlement of any Action effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). In addition,
the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle, compromise
or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened Action in respect of which indemnification
or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise,
consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from all Liabilities arising out of such Action for
which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder. The indemnification required hereby shall be made by periodic payments
of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is
due and payable.
(c) In
the event that the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to an Indemnified Person other than in accordance with this Agreement, the Company
shall contribute to the Liabilities and Expenses paid or payable by such Indemnified Person in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
(i) the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and to the Placement Agent and any other Indemnified Person, on the other
hand, of the matters contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by the immediately preceding clause is not permitted
by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Placement Agent
and any other Indemnified Person, on the other hand, in connection with the matters as to which such Liabilities or Expenses relate,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that in no event shall the Company contribute less than the amount necessary
to ensure that all Indemnified Persons, in the aggregate, are not liable for any Liabilities and Expenses in excess of the amount of
fees actually received by the Placement Agent pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, the relative benefits to the
Company, on the one hand, and to the Placement Agent on the other hand, of the matters contemplated by this Agreement shall be deemed
to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value paid or contemplated to be paid to or received or contemplated to be received by
the Company in the transaction or transactions that are within the scope of this Agreement, whether or not any such transaction is consummated,
bears to (b) the fees paid to the Placement Agent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act, as amended, shall be entitled to contribution from a party who was not guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation.
10
(d) The
Company also agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise)
to the Company for or in connection with advice or services rendered or to be rendered by any Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement,
the transactions contemplated thereby or any Indemnified Person’s actions or inactions in connection with any such advice, services
or transactions except for Liabilities (and related Expenses) of the Company that are finally judicially determined to have resulted
solely from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with any such advice, actions, inactions
or services.
(e) The
reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Company set forth herein shall apply to any modification of this Agreement
and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any termination of, or the completion of any Indemnified Person’s services
under or in connection with, this Agreement.
Section
8. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other
statements of the Company or any person controlling the Company, of its officers, and of the Placement Agent set forth in or made pursuant
to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Placement Agent,
the Company, or any of its or their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery
of and payment for the Shares sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement. A successor to a Placement Agent, or to the Company,
its directors or officers or any person controlling the Company, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and
reimbursement agreements contained in this Agreement.

PURCHASE
AND SALE
2.1 Closing.
On the Closing Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, substantially concurrent with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto, the Company agrees to sell, and the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agree
to purchase, an aggregate of $8 million of Shares. Each Purchaser’s Subscription Amount as set forth on the signature page
hereto executed by such Purchaser shall be made available for “Delivery Versus Payment” settlement with the Company or
its designee. The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser its respective Shares as determined pursuant to Section 2.2(a), and the
Company and each Purchaser shall deliver the other items set forth in Section 2.2 deliverable at the Closing. Upon satisfaction of
the covenants and conditions set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3, the Closing shall occur at the offices of Thompson Hine or such
other location as the parties shall mutually agree take place remotely by electronic transfer of the Closing documentation. Unless
otherwise directed by the Placement Agent, settlement of the Shares shall occur via “Delivery Versus Payment”
(“DVP”) (i.e., on the Closing Date, the Company shall issue the Shares registered in the Purchasers’ names
and addresses and released by the Transfer Agent directly to the account(s) at the Placement Agent identified by each Purchaser;
upon receipt of such Shares, the Placement Agent shall promptly electronically deliver such Shares to the applicable Purchaser, and
payment therefor shall be made by the Placement Agent (or its clearing firm) by wire transfer to the Company). Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if at any time on or after the time of execution of this Agreement by the Company and an applicable
Purchaser, through, and including the time immediately prior to the Closing (the “Pre-Settlement Period”), such
Purchaser sells to any Person all, or any portion, of the Shares to be issued hereunder to such Purchaser at the Closing
(collectively, the “Pre-Settlement Shares”), such Purchaser shall, automatically hereunder (without any
additional required actions by such Purchaser or the Company), be deemed to be unconditionally bound to purchase, such
Pre-Settlement Shares to such Purchaser at the Closing; provided, that the Company shall not be required to deliver any
Pre-Settlement Shares to such Purchaser prior to the Company’s receipt of the purchase price of such Pre-Settlement Shares
hereunder; and provided further that the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the forgoing shall not constitute a
representation or covenant by such Purchaser as to whether or not during the Pre-Settlement Period such Purchaser shall sell any
Ordinary Shares to any Person and that any such decision to sell any Ordinary Shares by such Purchaser shall solely be made at the
time such Purchaser elects to
effect any such sale, if any. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and a Purchaser’s Subscription Amount set forth on
the signature pages attached hereto, the number of Shares purchased by a Purchaser (and its Affiliates) hereunder shall not, when aggregated
with all other Ordinary Shares owned by such Purchaser (and its Affiliates) at such time, result in such Purchaser beneficially owning
(as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) in excess of 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares
outstanding at the Closing (the “Beneficial Ownership Maximum”), and such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount, to
the extent it would otherwise exceed the Beneficial Ownership Maximum immediately prior to the Closing, shall be conditioned upon the
issuance of Shares at the Closing to the other Purchasers signatory hereto. To the extent that a Purchaser’s beneficial ownership
of the Shares would otherwise be deemed to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Maximum, such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount shall
automatically be reduced as necessary in order to comply with this paragraph.

and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary is in violation nor default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or
other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good
standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned

Document, (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise)
of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in
any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material
Adverse Effect”) and no Proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking
to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.
(c)
Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no
further action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s shareholders in connection herewith or therewith
other than in connection with the Required Approvals. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party has been
(or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will

which it is a party, the issuance and sale of the Shares and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles
of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that

(iii), such as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

which became effective on November 12, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), including the Prospectus, and such amendments
and supplements thereto as may have been required to the date of this Agreement. The Registration Statement is effective under the Securities

Company, are threatened by the Commission. The Company, if required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, shall file the Prospectus

date of this Agreement and at the Closing Date, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto conformed and will conform in all
material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and did not and 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 not misleading; and the
Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, at the time the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto was issued and

option plans, the issuance of Ordinary Shares to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plans and pursuant
to the conversion and/or exercise of Ordinary Share Equivalents outstanding as of the date of the most recently filed periodic report

options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights
or obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any Ordinary
Shares or the capital stock of any Subsidiary, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any
Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents or capital stock of any Subsidiary.
The issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company or any Subsidiary to issue Ordinary Shares or other securities
to any Person (other than the Purchasers). There are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or any Subsidiary with any
provision that adjusts the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price of such security or instrument upon an issuance of securities
by the Company or any Subsidiary. There are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or any Subsidiary that contain any
redemption or similar provisions, and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any
Subsidiary is or may become bound to redeem a security of the Company or such Subsidiary. The Company does not have any stock appreciation

stock of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal
and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to
subscribe for or purchase securities. No further approval or authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors or others is required

respect to the Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among any
of the Company’s shareholders.

or exists or is reasonably expected to occur or exist with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses,

duty. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the
Commission involving the Company or any current or former director or officer of the Company. The Commission has not issued any stop

is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary
information agreement or non- competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third
party, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability
with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local
and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours,

pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or
subsurface strata), including laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants,

applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses; and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of
any such permit, license or approval where in each clause (i), (ii) and (iii), the failure to so comply could be reasonably expected

(n)
Regulatory Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate
federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports,
except where the failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material
Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of any Material Permit.
10

Title to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them
and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries,

interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries; (ii) Liens for the payment
of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor in accordance with GAAP and, the payment of
which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties; and (iii) Lien disclosed in the SEC Reports. Any real property and facilities held

trademark applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights

upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge
of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any
of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy,
confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses
and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including,
but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the aggregate Subscription Amount. Neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage
expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase
in cost.

date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date
hereof and as of the Closing Date. Except for the material deficiencies disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company and the Subsidiaries
maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance
with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets

disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and
designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it
files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s
rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of
the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act
(such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange
Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations
as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over financial reporting (as

will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become an “investment company” subject to registration
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(v)

(w)
Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Ordinary Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act,
and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration
of the Ordinary Shares under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating
such registration. The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market on which
the Ordinary Shares are or have been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance
requirements of such Trading Market. The Ordinary Shares are currently eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust
Company or another established clearing corporation and the Company is current in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company
(or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such electronic transfer.
(x)
Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order
to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement)
or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the
laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Company
fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of
the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.
12
(y) Disclosure.
Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company
confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel
with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information which is not otherwise
disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing
representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the
Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated
hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months
preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made
any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in
Section 3.2 hereof.
(z)
No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2,
neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers
or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities
to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market
on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(aa)
Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt
by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds
the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known
contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its
business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements
of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii)
the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after
taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when
such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature
(taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any
facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization
laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. All outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company
or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments are disclosed in the SEC Reports. For the purposes of this
Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other
than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations
in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance
sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions
in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to
be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.
(bb)
Tax Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and local income
and all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii)
has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such
returns, reports and declarations and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all material
taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material
amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no
basis for any such claim.

in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited
liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents

partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to
which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof,

(i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited
by applicable law.
15
(b)
Understandings or Arrangements. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and has no direct
or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this

otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the
ordinary course of its business.
(c)
Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), (a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12), or (a)(13) under the Securities Act.
(d)
Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication
and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment
in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of
an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e)
Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including
all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded, (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed
necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the
Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition,
results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the

the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate of the Placement Agent has provided such Purchaser with any information or advice with respect
to the Securities nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. Neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate has made or makes

first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material
pricing terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi- managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of
such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers
managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion
of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other

directors, partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of
all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions,
with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and
permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent
of each Purchaser (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom
such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the
transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”
5.8
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Placement Agent shall be the third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of
the Company in Section 3.1 and the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 3.2. This Agreement is intended for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision
hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.8 and this Section 5.8.
5.9
Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents
shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and
defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto
or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively
in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or
in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of
any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that
it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient
venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any
such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery)
to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and
sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction
Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.8, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall
be reimbursed by the non- prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation,
preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.
21
5.10
Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
5.11
Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one
and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party,
it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by e-mail delivery
of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose
behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
5.12
Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall
remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated
by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would
have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared
invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.13
Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions
of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction
Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may
rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election
in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
5.14
Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed,
the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation),
or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also
pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.15
Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages,
each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that
monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction
Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that
a remedy at law would be adequate.
22
5.16
Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document
or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise
or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by
or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including,
without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such
restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect
as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.17
Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document
are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance
or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as
a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way
acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each
Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of
this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional
party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation
of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to
communicate with the Company through Thompson Hine. Thompson Hine does not represent any of the Purchasers and only represents the Placement
Agent. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company
and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision
contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the
Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
5.18
Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction
Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts
have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts
are due and payable shall have been canceled.
5.19
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required
or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business
Day.
5.20
Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise
the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against
the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each
and every reference to share prices and Ordinary Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward
stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Ordinary Shares that occur after the date of
this Agreement.
5.21
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT,
OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE
GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
