1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
July 2, 2026, FatPipe, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an At-The-Market Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”)
with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, offer and sell shares
(the “ATM Shares”) of its common stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”), having aggregate gross sales
proceeds of up to $10,000,000 (the “ATM Offering”), through or to Wainwright, acting as sales agent or principal, subject
to the Company’s current “baby shelf” limitations under General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3.
Subject
to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Wainwright will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal
trading and sales practices to sell the ATM Shares from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions. The Company has provided
Wainwright with customary indemnification and contribution rights in favor of the Agents, and Wainwright will be entitled to a commission
of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from each sale of the ATM Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement.
Sales
of the ATM Shares, if any, under the Agreement will be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be “at the market offerings”
as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company has no obligation
to sell any of the ATM Shares and may at any time suspend offers under the Sales Agreement or terminate the Sales Agreement.
This
description of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Sales Agreement,
which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
The
Company Common Stock to be sold under the Sales Agreement, if any, will be issued and sold pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration
statement on Form S-3, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 2, 2026, including
the base prospectus contained therein, and a prospectus supplement dated July 2, 2026 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) relating
to the offer and sale of the shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement.
This
Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any shares of Company Common Stock
nor shall there be any sale of shares of Company Common Stock in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale
would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction. The legal
opinion of Dentons US LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the ATM Shares pursuant to the ATM Offering is attached
hereto as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Forward-Looking
Statements
Matters
discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives,
goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, other than statements of historical
facts. The words “believe,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “estimate,” “potential,”
“may,” “should,” “expect” “pending” and similar expressions identify forward-looking
statements. The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon various assumptions. Although we believe that these assumptions
were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are
difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations.

of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share (“Common Stock”), that does not exceed (a) the number
or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock registered on the Registration Statement and as reflected on the Prospectus Supplement, pursuant
to which the offering is being made, (b) the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (less the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any outstanding securities of the Company or otherwise reserved from the Company’s
authorized capital stock), or (c) the number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock that would cause the Company or the offering
of the Shares to not satisfy the eligibility and transaction requirements for use of Form S-3, including, if applicable, General Instruction
I.B.6 of Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the lesser of (a), (b) and (c), the “Maximum Amount”). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitations set forth in this Section 2
on the number and aggregate sales price of Shares issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Company
and that the Manager shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance.
4
(a) Appointment
of Manager as Selling Agent; Terms Agreement. For purposes of selling the Shares through the Manager, the Company hereby appoints
the Manager as exclusive agent of the Company for the purpose of selling the Shares of the Company pursuant to this Agreement and the
Manager agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell the Shares on
the terms and subject to the conditions stated herein. The Company agrees that, whenever it determines to sell the Shares directly to
the Manager as principal, it will enter into a separate agreement (each, a “Terms Agreement”) in substantially the
form of Annex I hereto, relating to such sale in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement.
(b) Agent
Sales. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, following the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company will issue and agrees to sell Shares from time to time through the Manager,
acting as sales agent, and the Manager agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell, as sales agent for the Company, on
the following terms:
(i) The
Shares are to be sold on a daily basis or otherwise as shall be agreed to by the Company and the Manager on any day that (A) is a Trading
Day, (B) the Company has instructed the Manager by telephone (confirmed promptly by electronic mail) to make such sales (“Sales
Notice”) and (C) the Company has satisfied its obligations under Section 6 of this Agreement. The Company will designate the
maximum amount of the Shares to be sold by the Manager daily (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(d)) and the minimum price
per Share at which such Shares may be sold. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Manager shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to sell on a particular day all of the Shares designated for the sale by the Company on such day. The gross sales price of the
Shares sold under this Section 2(b) shall be the market price for the shares of Common Stock sold by the Manager under this Section 2(b)
on the Trading Market at the time of sale of such Shares.
(ii) The
Company acknowledges and agrees that (A) there can be no assurance that the Manager will be successful in selling the Shares, (B) the
Manager will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell the Shares for any reason
other than a failure by the Manager to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices
and applicable law and regulations to sell such Shares as required under this Agreement, and (C) the Manager shall be under no obligation
to purchase Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically agreed by the Manager and the Company
pursuant to a Terms Agreement.
5
(iii) The
Company shall not authorize the issuance and sale of, and the Manager shall not be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts
to sell, any Share at a price lower than the minimum price therefor designated from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors
(the “Board”), or a duly authorized committee thereof, or such duly authorized officers of the Company, and notified
to the Manager in writing. The Company or the Manager may, upon notice to the other party hereto by telephone (confirmed promptly by
electronic mail), suspend the offering of the Shares for any reason and at any time; provided, however, that such suspension
or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold hereunder prior to
the giving of such notice.
(iv) The
Manager may sell Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under
the Act, including without limitation sales made directly on the Trading Market, on any other existing trading market for the Common
Stock or to or through a market maker. The Manager may also sell Shares in privately negotiated transactions, provided that the Manager
receives the Company’s prior written approval for any sales in privately negotiated transactions and if so provided in the “Plan
of Distribution” section of the Prospectus Supplement or a supplement to the Prospectus Supplement or a new Prospectus Supplement
disclosing the terms of such privately negotiated transaction.
(v) The
compensation to the Manager for sales of the Shares under this Section 2(b) shall be a placement fee of 3.0% of the gross sales price
of the Shares sold pursuant to this Section 2(b) (“Broker Fee”). The foregoing rate of compensation shall not apply
when the Manager acts as principal, in which case the Company may sell Shares to the Manager as principal at a price agreed upon at the
relevant Applicable Time pursuant to a Terms Agreement. The remaining proceeds, after deduction of the Broker Fee and deduction of any
transaction fees imposed by any clearing firm, execution broker, or governmental or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales,
shall constitute the net proceeds to the Company for such Shares (the “Net Proceeds”).
(vi) The
Manager shall provide written confirmation (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) to the Company following the close of trading
on the Trading Market each day in which the Shares are sold under this Section 2(b) setting forth the number of the Shares sold on such
day, the aggregate gross sales proceeds and the Net Proceeds to the Company, and the compensation payable by the Company to the Manager
with respect to such sales.
6
(vii) Unless
otherwise agreed between the Company and the Manager, settlement for sales of the Shares will occur at 10:00 a.m. (New York City time)
on the first (1st) Trading Day (or any such shorter settlement cycle as may be in effect pursuant to Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act
from time to time) following the date on which such sales are made (each, a “Settlement Date”). On or before each
Settlement Date, the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Shares being sold by crediting the
Manager’s or its designee’s account (provided that the Manager shall have given the Company written notice of such designee
at least one Trading Day prior to the Settlement Date) at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit
and Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto which Shares
in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form. On each Settlement Date, the Manager
will deliver the related Net Proceeds in same day funds to an account designated by the Company. The Company agrees that, if the Company,
or its transfer agent (if applicable), defaults in its obligation to deliver duly authorized Shares on a Settlement Date, in addition
to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Section 7 hereto, the Company will (i) hold the Manager harmless against
any loss, claim, damage, or reasonable, documented expense (including reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses), as incurred,
arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company, and (ii) pay to the Manager any commission, discount or other compensation
to which the Manager would otherwise have been entitled absent such default.
(viii) At
each Applicable Time, Settlement Date, and Representation Date, the Company shall be deemed to have affirmed each representation and
warranty contained in this Agreement as if such representation and warranty were made as of such date, modified as necessary to relate
to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended as of such date. Any obligation of the Manager to use its commercially reasonable
efforts to sell the Shares on behalf of the Company shall be subject to the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties
of the Company herein, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the continuing satisfaction of the additional
conditions specified in Section 6 of this Agreement.
(ix) If
the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares
of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities,
property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar
transaction) (a “Distribution” and the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the Distribution,
the “Record Date”), the Company hereby covenants that, in connection with any sales of Shares pursuant to a Sales
Notice on the Record Date, the Company shall issue and deliver such Shares to the Manager on the Record Date and the Record Date shall
be the Settlement Date and the Company shall cover any additional costs of the Manager in connection with the delivery of Shares on the
Record Date.
7
(c) Term
Sales. If the Company wishes to sell the Shares pursuant to this Agreement in a manner other than as set forth in Section 2(b) of
this Agreement (each, a “Placement”), the Company will notify the Manager of the proposed terms of such Placement.
If the Manager, acting as principal, wishes to accept such proposed terms (which it may decline to do for any reason in its sole discretion)
or, following discussions with the Company wishes to accept amended terms, the Manager and the Company will enter into a Terms Agreement
setting forth the terms of such Placement. The terms set forth in a Terms Agreement will not be binding on the Company or the Manager
unless and until the Company and the Manager have each executed such Terms Agreement accepting all of the terms of such Terms Agreement.
In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement
will control. A Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Shares by the Manager. The commitment
of the Manager to purchase the Shares pursuant to any Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations
and warranties of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. Each Terms Agreement
shall specify the number of the Shares to be purchased by the Manager pursuant thereto, the price to be paid to the Company for such
Shares, any provisions relating to rights of, and default by, underwriters acting together with the Manager in the reoffering of the
Shares, and the time and date (each such time and date being referred to herein as a “Time of Delivery”) and place
of delivery of and payment for such Shares. Such Terms Agreement shall also specify any requirements for opinions of counsel, accountants’
letters and officers’ certificates pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement and any other information or documents required by the
Manager.
(d)
Maximum Number of Shares. Under no circumstances shall the Company cause or request the offer or sale of any Shares if, after
giving effect to the sale of such Shares, the aggregate amount of Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement would exceed the lesser of (A)
together with all sales of Shares under this Agreement, the Maximum Amount, (B) the amount available for offer and sale under the currently
effective Registration Statement and (C) the amount authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement by the Board,
a duly authorized committee thereof or a duly authorized executive committee, and notified to the Manager in writing. Under no circumstances
shall the Company cause or request the offer or sale of any Shares pursuant to this Agreement at a price lower than the minimum price
authorized from time to time by the Board, a duly authorized committee thereof or a duly authorized executive officer, and notified to
the Manager in writing. Further, under no circumstances shall the Company cause or permit the aggregate offering amount of Shares sold
pursuant to this Agreement to exceed the Maximum Amount.
(e) Regulation
M Notice. Unless the exceptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act are satisfied with respect
to the Shares, the Company shall give the Manager at least one (1) Business Day’s prior notice of its intent to sell any Shares
in order to allow the Manager time to comply with Regulation M.
3. Representations
and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Manager at the Execution Time and the Effective Time

corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification

to result in: (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, (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, from that set forth in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or
the Incorporated Documents, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a

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

in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

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

this Agreement does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market. The Common Stock is 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 Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that

notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance

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) within one year
from the date hereof. 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 date hereof. The SEC Reports

4. Agreements.
The Company agrees with the Manager that:
(a)
Right to Review Amendments and Supplements to Registration Statement and Prospectus. During any period when the delivery of a
prospectus relating to the Shares is required (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172,
173 or any similar rule) to be delivered under the Act in connection with the offering or the sale of Shares, the Company will not file
any amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement (including any Prospectus Supplement) to the Base Prospectus unless the Company
has furnished to the Manager a copy for its review prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which
the Manager reasonably objects. The Company will cause any supplement to the Prospectus filed after the Effective Time to be properly
completed, in a form approved by the Manager, and will file such supplement with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph
of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed thereby and will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Manager of such timely
filing. The Company will promptly advise the Manager (i) when the Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed (if required)
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), (ii) when, during any period when the delivery of a prospectus (whether physically or through
compliance with Rule 172, 173 or any similar rule) is required under the Act in connection with the offering or sale of the Shares, any
amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become effective (other than any annual report of the Company filed
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act), (iii) of any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment of the
Registration Statement, or for any supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission
of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any notice objecting to its use or the institution
or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension
of the qualification of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the occurrence of any such suspension or objection
to the use of the Registration Statement and, upon such issuance, occurrence or notice of objection, to obtain as soon as possible the
withdrawal of such stop order or relief from such occurrence or objection, including, if necessary, by filing an amendment to the Registration
Statement or a new registration statement and using its best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective
as soon as practicable.
(b) Subsequent
Events. If, at any time on or after an Applicable Time but prior to the related Settlement Date, any event occurs as a result of
which the Registration Statement or Prospectus would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or the circumstances then prevailing
not misleading, the Company will (i) notify promptly the Manager so that any use of the Registration Statement or Prospectus may cease
until such are amended or supplemented; (ii) amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus to correct such statement or
omission; and (iii) supply any such amendment or supplement to the Manager in such quantities as the Manager may reasonably request.
(c) Notification
of Subsequent Filings. During any period when the delivery of a prospectus relating to the Shares is required (including in circumstances
where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172, 173 or any similar rule) to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs
as a result of which the Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or if it shall
be necessary to amend the Registration Statement, file a new registration statement or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act
or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, including in connection with use or delivery of the Prospectus, the Company promptly
will (i) notify the Manager of any such event, (ii) subject to Section 4(a), prepare and file with the Commission an amendment or supplement
or new registration statement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance, (iii) use its best efforts to
have any amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable in order to
avoid any disruption in use of the Prospectus and (iv) supply any supplemented Prospectus to the Manager in such quantities as the Manager
may reasonably request.
(d) Earnings
Statements. As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally available to its security holders and to the Manager an earnings
statement or statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s compliance with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act shall be deemed to satisfy
the requirements of this Section 4(d).
(e) Delivery
of Registration Statement. Upon the request of the Manager, the Company will furnish to the Manager and counsel for the Manager,
without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by
the Manager or dealer may be required by the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule
172, 173 or any similar rule), as many copies of the Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any supplement thereto as
the Manager may reasonably request. The Company will pay the expenses of printing or other production of all documents relating to the
offering.
18
(f) Qualification
of Shares. The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Shares for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions
as the Manager may designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Shares;
provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified
or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the
Shares, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.
(g) Free
Writing Prospectus. The Company agrees that, unless it has or shall have obtained the prior written consent of the Manager, and the
Manager agrees with the Company that, unless it has or shall have obtained, as the case may be, the prior written consent of the Company,
it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would
otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission
or retained by the Company under Rule 433. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Manager or the Company is hereinafter
referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company agrees that (i) it has treated and will treat, as
the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (ii) it has complied and will comply,
as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect
of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.
(h) Subsequent
Equity Issuances. The Company shall not deliver any Sales Notice hereunder (and any Sales Notice previously delivered shall not apply
during such two (2) Trading Days) for at least two (2) Trading Days prior to any date on which the Company or any Subsidiary offers,
sells, issues, contracts to sell, contracts to issue or otherwise disposes of, directly or indirectly, any other shares of Common Stock
or any Common Stock Equivalents (other than the Shares), subject to Manager’s right to waive this obligation, provided that, without
compliance with the foregoing obligation, the Company may issue and sell Common Stock pursuant to any employee equity plan, stock ownership
plan or dividend reinvestment plan of the Company in effect from time to time and set forth in the SEC Reports and the Company may issue
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding from time to time and set forth in the
SEC Reports.
(i) Market
Manipulation. Until the termination of this Agreement, the Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to
or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization
or manipulation in violation of the Act, Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder of the price of any security of the Company
to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares or otherwise violate any provision of Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
19
(j) Notification
of Incorrect Certificate. The Company will, at any time during the term of this Agreement, as supplemented from time to time, advise
the Manager immediately after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of any information or fact that would alter
or affect any opinion, certificate, letter and other document provided to the Manager pursuant to Section 6 herein.
(k) Certification
of Accuracy of Disclosure. Upon commencement of the offering of the Shares under this Agreement (and upon the recommencement of the
offering of the Shares under this Agreement following the termination of a suspension of sales hereunder lasting more than 30 Trading

to in (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above, a “Representation Date”), the Company shall furnish or cause to
be furnished to the Manager forthwith a certificate dated and delivered on the Representation Date, in form reasonably satisfactory to
the Manager to the effect that the statements contained in the certificate referred to in Section 6 of this Agreement which were last

shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to such date) or, in lieu of such

and each person who controls the Manager within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal
or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement for the registration of the Shares as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Base Prospectus,
any Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or
arise out of or are based upon 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 arise out of or are based upon any Proceeding, commenced or threatened (whether or not
the Manager is a target of or party to such Proceeding) or result from or relate to any breach of any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage
or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made
therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Manager specifically for inclusion
therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.
(b) Indemnification
by Manager. The Manager agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs
the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the
same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Manager, but only with reference to written information relating to the
Manager furnished to the Company by the Manager specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity; provided,
however, that in no case shall the Manager be responsible for any amount in excess of the Broker Fee applicable to the Shares
and paid hereunder. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Manager may otherwise have.
26
(c) Indemnification
Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability
under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture
by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any
obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying
party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent
the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be
responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below);
provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying
party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right
to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of
such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such
counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available
to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the
indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party
within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified
party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened
claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified
parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional
release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.
(d) Contribution.
In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless
an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Manager agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities
(including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”)
to which the Company and the Manager may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by
the Company on the one hand and by the Manager on the other from the offering of the Shares; provided, however, that in
no case shall the Manager be responsible for any amount in excess of the Broker Fee applicable to the Shares and paid hereunder. If the
allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Manager severally shall
contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company
on the one hand and of the Manager on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds
from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Manager shall be deemed to be equal to the
Broker Fee applicable to the Shares and paid hereunder as determined by this Agreement. Relative fault shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Manager on the other, the intent of the parties
and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company
and the Manager agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method
of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph
(d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls the
Manager within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of the Manager shall
have the same rights to contribution as the Manager, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or
the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall
have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).
27
8. Termination.
(a) The
Company shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate the provisions of this Agreement relating
to the solicitation of offers to purchase the Shares in its sole discretion at any time upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written
notice. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that (i) with respect to any pending sale,
through the Manager for the Company, the obligations of the Company, including in respect of compensation of the Manager, shall remain
in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination and (ii) the provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, the second sentence
of 13, 14, 15 and 16 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.
(b) The
Manager shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate the provisions of this Agreement relating
to the solicitation of offers to purchase the Shares in its sole discretion at any time. Any such termination shall be without liability
of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, the second sentence of 13, 14, 15 and 16
of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.
(c) This
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until such date that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 8(a) or (b) above
or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties, provided that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed
to provide that Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, the second sentence of 13, 14, 15 and 16 of this Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect.
(d) Any
termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination, provided that such termination
shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Manager or the Company, as the case may
be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date or Time of Delivery for any sale of the Shares, such sale of the Shares
shall settle in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(b) of this Agreement.
(e) In
the case of any purchase of Shares by the Manager pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the obligations of the Manager pursuant to such Terms
Agreement shall be subject to termination, in the absolute discretion of the Manager, by prompt oral notice given to the Company prior
to the Time of Delivery relating to such Shares, if any, and confirmed promptly by electronic mail, if since the time of execution of
the Terms Agreement and prior to such delivery and payment, (i) trading in the Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission
or the Trading Market or trading in securities generally on the Trading Market shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices
shall have been established on such exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State
authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national
emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of
the Manager, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Shares as contemplated by the Prospectus (exclusive
of any amendment or supplement thereto).
9. Representations
and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company
or its officers and of the Manager set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of
any investigation made by the Manager or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred
to in Section 7, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.
28
10. Notices.
All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and will be mailed, delivered, or e-mailed to the addresses
of the Company and the Manager, respectively, set forth on the signature page hereto.

hereunder.
12. No
Fiduciary Duty. The Company hereby acknowledges that (a) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length
commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Manager and any affiliate through which it may be acting, on the
other, (b) the Manager is acting solely as sales agent and/or principal in connection with the purchase and sale of the Company’s
securities and not as a fiduciary of the Company and (c) the Company’s engagement of the Manager in connection with the offering
and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company agrees
that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether the Manager has advised
or is currently advising the Company on related or other matters). The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Manager has rendered
advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction
or the process leading thereto.
13. Integration.
This Agreement and any Terms Agreement supersede all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company
and the Manager with respect to the subject matter hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the letter agreement, dated
June 1, 2026, by and between the Company and the Manager shall continue to be effective and the terms therein shall continue to survive
and be enforceable by the Manager in accordance with its terms.
14. Amendments;
Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in
the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Manager. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement
of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other
provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner
impair the exercise of any such right.
29
15. Applicable

applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York. Each of the Company and the Manager: (i) agrees that any

TERMS
AGREEMENT
Dear
Sirs:
FatPipe,
Inc. (the “Company”) proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and in the At The Market Offering
Agreement, dated June ___, 2026 (the “At The Market Offering Agreement”), between the Company and H.C. Wainwright
& Co., LLC (“Manager”), to issue and sell to Manager the securities specified in Schedule I hereto (the
“Purchased Shares”).
Each
of the provisions of the At The Market Offering Agreement not specifically related to the solicitation by the Manager, as agent of the
Company, of offers to purchase securities is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and shall be deemed to be part of this
Terms Agreement to the same extent as if such provisions had been set forth in full herein. Each of the representations and warranties
set forth therein shall be deemed to have been made at and as of the date of this Terms Agreement and the Time of Delivery, except that
each representation and warranty in Section 3 of the At The Market Offering Agreement which makes reference to the Prospectus (as therein

Prospectus, and also a representation and warranty as of the date of this Terms Agreement and the Time of Delivery in relation to the
Prospectus as amended and supplemented to relate to the Purchased Shares.
An
amendment to the Registration Statement (as defined in the At The Market Offering Agreement), or a supplement to the Prospectus, as the
case may be, relating to the Purchased Shares, in the form heretofore delivered to the Manager is now proposed to be filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the At The Market Offering Agreement which are incorporated herein by reference,
the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Manager and the latter agrees to purchase from the Company the number of shares of the Purchased
Shares at the time and place and at the purchase price set forth in the Schedule I hereto.
32
If
the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us a counterpart hereof, whereupon this Terms Agreement,
including those provisions of the At The Market Offering Agreement incorporated herein by reference, shall constitute a binding agreement
between the Manager and the Company.

Re: Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-________)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We
have acted as counsel to FatPipe, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the filing by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No.
333-________) (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).
The
Registration Statement relates to the registration for offer and sale from time to time, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act, of up to
$20,000,000 in aggregate offering price of (i) shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share (the “Common
Stock”), and (ii) debt securities of the Company (together with the Common Stock, the “Securities”), all as set forth
in the Registration Statement, the prospectus contained therein (the “Prospectus”) and one or more supplements to the Prospectus.
In
connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have examined and relied upon originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified
to our satisfaction, of the following: (i) the Registration Statement; (ii) the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended
and restated to date; (iii) the Bylaws of the Company, as amended to date; (iv) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the
Company relating to the registration and issuance of the Securities; and (v) such other corporate records, documents, certificates of
officers of the Company, and other instruments as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.
In
our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity
of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the
authenticity of the originals of such copies. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein that we have not independently
established or verified, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and
of public officials.
Based
on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
FatPipe, Inc.
July 2, 2026
Page 2
1. With respect to
shares of Common Stock, when (a) the Board of Directors of the Company or a duly authorized committee thereof has taken all necessary
corporate action to authorize and approve the issuance and terms of the offering of shares of Common Stock and related matters, and (b)
such shares of Common Stock have been issued and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of such corporate authorization
and as described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, such shares of Common Stock
will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
2. With respect to
the debt securities (the “Debt Securities”), when (a) any applicable indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by the Company and the trustee thereunder, (b) the specific terms of a particular series of Debt Securities have been duly authorized
and established in accordance with such indenture and all necessary corporate action has been taken, and (c) such Debt Securities have
been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with such indenture, such corporate authorization,
and as described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, such Debt Securities will constitute
valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general
principles of equity.
The
opinions expressed above are limited to the laws of the State of Utah and the federal laws of the United States of America. We express
no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction. This opinion letter deals only with the specified legal issues expressly
addressed herein, and you should not infer any opinion that is not explicitly stated herein from any matter addressed in this opinion
letter.
We
do not find it necessary for the purposes of this opinion, and accordingly we do not purport to cover herein, the application of the
securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the various states to the issuance or sale of the Securities.
This
opinion is rendered as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to advise you of any changes in applicable law or any other
matters that may come to our attention after the date hereof that may affect this opinion.
We
hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under
“Legal Matters” in the Prospectus. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons
whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours,
