2.1           The Company is duly incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The Company and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the Company in its audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2020 or any such entity subsequently acquired (each, a “Subsidiary”) are not in violation of any of the provisions of their respective articles of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational or charter documents, each as may be amended (the “Internal Documents”). The Company and each Subsidiary are qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation and are in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the location of their respective properties or the conduct of their respective business makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise), properties or prospects of the Company on a consolidated basis.

公司在英属维京群岛依法成立并在英属维京群岛法律下合法存在并有良好的经营持续性。公司及每一个合并进其经审计的2020年9月30日结束的财政年度的财务报表的直接子公司和间接子公司，或者任何一个随后被合并的实体（每一个称为一个“子公司”），均没有违反它们各自的公司成立协议、公司章程或其他组织或章程类文件及可能的经过修订的此类文件（称为“内部文件”）中的任何条款。公司及其任何一个子公司在其每个有资产和商业行为的管辖区内都有合法资格作为外国公司进行经营并有良好的经营持续性，除了一些管辖区，如果公司不能在这些区域内有合法资格经营也不会在财务报表合并的基础上对公司的商业行为、资产、负债、经营结果、情况（财务或其他）、财产或其他方面产生重大不良影响。

2.2           Each of the Company and each Subsidiary has all power and authority to conduct its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted as described in the SEC Reports (as defined herein). The Company has all power and authority to (i) enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and (ii) issue, sell and deliver the Shares. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. Once executed and delivered, this Agreement will constitute, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, including the effect of statutory and other laws regarding fraudulent conveyances and preferential transfers, and except that no representation is made herein regarding the enforceability of the Company’s obligations to provide indemnification and contribution remedies under the securities laws and subject to the limitations imposed by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

公司及其每一个子公司都拥有全部的权力和授权以进行其目前正在进行和证交会报告（见协议中定义）中描述的将进行的商业行为。公司拥有全部的权利和授权（i）签订和履行本协议下的义务；以及（ii）发行、销售和送达股票。本协议及注册权协议的签署和递送以及股票的发行、销售和送达都由所有必要的公司行为合法授权。一旦签署并送达，本协议将包括对于公司有效和有约束力的执行义务，除非受到适用的破产、解散、重组、延期偿付或其他目前或之后生效的相似的，与债权人的权利相关或会对其造成影响的法律的限制，包括和欺诈性转移和优先转让相关的法规和其他法律的影响，但不包括本协议中没有表述的公司按照证券法和一般性的衡平法原则进行补偿和分担的义务的可执行性（无论这一可执行性是在法律或衡平法的程序下讨论）。

2.3          The Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes or liens with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal and/or other similar rights of shareholders of the Company and/or any other person.

股票将是合法有效发行的、缴足股款并不加缴的，且没有所有和发行有关的税收或留置权，并且不受制于公司的股东和/或其他个人的优先购买权、优先承购权和/或其他相似权利。

2.4          No action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or its property is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened that (i) could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the performance of this Agreement by the Company or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and/or (ii) could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

不存在任何和公司或其财产有关的，未决的或在公司知道的范围内可能针对公司的法庭或政府机构、权力机关或主体或仲裁机构行为、诉讼，可以合理预期到（i）将会对本协议的执行或协议中拟进行的交易造成重大不良影响，和/或（ii）将会对公司的经营造成重大不良影响。

2.5          The Company is not in (i) violation or default of any provision of its Internal Documents; (ii) default or material violation of the terms of any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement or other agreement, obligation, condition, covenant or instrument to which it is a party or bound or to which its property is subject; and/or (iii) default or material violation of any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree applicable to the Company of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties, as applicable.

公司没有（i）违反或违背其内部文件的任一条款；（ii）违反或违背任何公司在其中作为一方当事人的或受到约束的或其财产受到约束的债券、合同、租赁合同、保证、契约、票据协议、贷款协议或其他协议、义务、条件、契约或融资工具的任何条款；和/或（iii）违反或违背对公司或其任何财产拥有管辖权的法庭、监管主体、管理机构、政府主体、仲裁机构或其他权力主体的适用于公司的的任何法规、法律、规则、条例、判决、法令。

假设本协议下文认购人的陈述和保证的准确性，公司不需要（i）在证券法下注册按照本协议的方式拟对认购人进行的股票邀约和出售，（ii）获取任何法院或其他联邦、州、地方或者其他政府机构自治机构（包括纳斯达克资本市场）或者任何与本协议签署，送达和履行相关的人士的任何同意，豁免，授权或者决议，送达任何通知，进行任何备案或注册，除非，如果纳斯达克上市规则要求，公司将向纳斯达克提交与本协议项下交易相关的《额外股票上市通知表》。

2.7           The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to a loss of a material benefit under any provision of any mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement or instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or its properties or assets. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, nor the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby, will result in the imposition of any security interest upon the Shares.

特定费用。公司可能需要对根据本协议拟进行的交易支付相关中介费用、佣金费用或融资顾问费用或提成。对于与本协议拟进行的交易有关的任何费用，或由他人或代表他人就本章节中提及的任何类型的费用而提出的任何索赔，认购人均不承担责任。

2.12        As of their respective dates, all reports and registration statements (the “SEC Reports”) filed or furnished by the Company with the SEC complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments. To the knowledge of the Company, there are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC with respect to any of the SEC Reports as of the date hereof.

公司提交或提供给证交会的所有报告和注册声明（合称“证交会报告”），每一次申报时，在所有重大方面均遵循证券法和美国1934年证券交易法及其修订案（“交易法”）以及证交会在其中颁布的规则和规定的要求，并且在提交时，证交会报告中不存在对重大事实的不实陈述，也没有遗漏重大事实或必要的信息，进行误导。证交会报告中所包含的公司财务报表，在所有重大方面，均遵循所适用的会计规则要求和在提交时生效的证交会的规则和规定，并且真实反映该季度内公司的财务状况，经营状况和该季度结束时的现金流，但在未经审计的财务报表的情况下，应以正常年度结束时的调整数据为准。据公司所知，在任何证交会报告提交时，不存在对证交会公司金融部职员出具的评论信中重大的未决的评论。

2.13         The Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and are listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CNEY”. There is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company by The Nasdaq Capital Market or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the shares of Common Stock or prohibit or terminate the listing of the shares of Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company has taken no action that is designed to terminate the registration of the ordinary shares under the Exchange Act. Upon the issuance of the Shares, the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares will continue to be registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and will be listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

公司发行和流通的普通股按照证券法12（b）条进行登记，并且在纳斯达克资本市场上市交易，股票代码为“CNEY”。据公司所知，不存在任何未决的诉讼或调查会使纳斯达克资本市场或者证交会注销公司的普通股或禁止或终止公司普通股在纳斯达克上市。公司未采取交易法下的任何旨在终止普通股注册的行动。股票一经发行，公司发行和流通的普通股会持续按照交易法下12（b）条的规定注册，并且将会在纳斯达克资本市场上市交易。

2.14         The Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Shares, will not be, (i) an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended or (ii) a Passive Foreign Investment Company, as defined in Section 1297(a) of the US Internal Revenue Code.

公司现在不是，并且在收到股票支付款之后，不会成为（i）1940年投资公司法案及其修正案定义下的“投资公司”或者（2）美国税法典1297（a）条下定义的消极外国投资公司。

2.15         The Company shall take all necessary or desirable actions required to duly and validly rely on the exemption for foreign private issuers from applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq with respect to corporate governance to rely on “home country practice” in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (including an exemption from any Nasdaq rules that would otherwise require seeking shareholder approval in respect of such transactions), including (i) notifying Nasdaq of its intention to utilize its home country practice by providing Nasdaq a written statement from independent counsel in its home country prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) disclosing in its next annual report to be filed with the SEC each requirement that it does not follow and describe the home country practice followed by the Company in lieu of such requirements.

公司应采取一切必要或适当的行动，以适当有效地豁免适用于外国私人发行人的纳斯达克公司治理规章制度，以依据“本国惯例”进行本协议下拟进行的交易（包括豁免任何需要寻求股东批准才能进行此类交易的纳斯达克规则），包括（i）在交割日期前向纳斯达克提供来自其本国的独立律师的书面声明，通知纳斯达克其打算利用其本国惯例（ii）在要提交给证交会的下一份年度报告中披露每项公司未遵循的要求，并描述公司遵循的代替这些要求的本国惯例。

授权。认购人有签署和履行本协议以及购买依本协议向其销售的股票所需的权力和授权。认购人对本协议的签署、送达和履行和完成在此由所有必要的公司、合伙制企业或 有限责任公司行为合法有效授权，不需要再由认购人或其董事会、股东会、合伙人、成员或经理进一步依情况同意或授权。本协议已被合法有效授权、签署和交付给认购人，并已构成或将在执行并交付后构成认购人有效和具有约束力的义务，可根据其条款对认购人执行。

3.3          Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with Purchaser in reliance upon Purchaser’s representation to the Company, which by Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby confirms that the Shares to be acquired by Purchaser will be acquired for investment for Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, Purchaser further represents that Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the Shares.

Purchaser must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Shares indefinitely because none of the Shares may be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration(s) are available. The Purchaser represents that it is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

3.9           Restricted Securities. Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been, although they may be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Except as otherwise provided herein and in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Shares. Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and on requirements relating to the Company that are outside of Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

受限制证券。认购人理解此股票目前没有,但将来可能会，依据证券法案进行注册，其原因是证券法案中的一条特定豁免条款。可依据此特定豁免条款取决于认购人在此协议表示的投资意愿的真实性和其陈述的准确性，以及其他因素。认购人理解此股票是适用的美国联邦和州证券法下的“受限制证券”，且根据这些法律，认购人必须无限期地持有 股票直到此股票向美国证券交易委员会注册并得到州权力机关的认可，或相关的注册和审核要求中有豁免条款存在。除非此协议中另有说明并且遵照注册权协议，认购人承认公司没有对股票进行注册或通过审核的义务。认购人进一步承认如果相关的注册和审核要求中有豁免条款存在，这些豁免条款将以多项要求为前提，包括但不限于，销售时间和方式、股票的持有期和与公司有关但不受认购人控制的要求，公司没有义务且可能无法满足这些要求。

3.10        No General Solicitation. The Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

3.13         The Purchaser has been independently advised as to the restrictions with respect to trading the Shares and with respect to the resale restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws, confirms that no representation has been made to it by or on behalf of the Company with respect thereto, acknowledges the risks relating to an investment therein and of the fact that it may not be able to resell the Shares except in accordance with limited exemptions under applicable securities legislation and regulatory policy until expiry of the applicable restriction period and compliance with the other requirements of applicable law, or that the Shares are registered under the Securities Act and in compliance with the other requirements of applicable laws, that the Purchaser (or others for whom it is contracting hereunder) is solely responsible to find out what these restrictions are and the Purchaser is solely responsible (and neither the Company is not in any way responsible) for compliance with applicable resale restrictions and the Purchaser is aware that it may not be able to resell the Shares except in accordance with limited exemptions under applicable securities laws, or that the Shares are registered under the Securities Act, and it agrees that any certificates representing the Shares may bear a legend indicating that the resale of such securities is restricted;

认购人已得到关于此股票的交易限制以及使用的证券法规定的再销售限制的独立建议，确认公司或公司代表没有对其作出与此相关的陈述，承认关于此投资的风险以及其可能无法在使用的限制期结束和满足其他适用法律的要求之前对此股票进行再销售，除非在适用的证券立法和监管政策中有豁免条款，或者此股票依据证券法案被注册，承认认购人（或其他与认购人签订相关合同的人）单独对了解这些交易限制单独负责，认购人对遵守相关再销售限制单独负责（公司不以任何方式对此负责），认购人知晓其可能无法对此股票进行再销售，除非适用的证券法有有限的豁免条款，或者此股票依据证券法案被注册，且其同意任何此股票的股票证书上可能带有表明此证券再销售限制的交易限制说明。

3.14         The Company may complete additional financings, including project financing, in the future in order to develop the business of the Company and to fund its ongoing development; there is no assurance that such financings or project financings will be available and, if available, on reasonable terms; failure to obtain sufficient additional funds by way of debt or equity financings or through joint ventures will prevent the continued development of the business of the Company and any such future financings may have a dilutive effect on current security holders, including the Purchaser;

公司可能在将来为了发展公司业务和为其正在进行的发展提供资金而进行额外融资，包括项目融资；不保证这样的融资或项目融资将会存在，如果存在，会有合理的条款；如无法通过债券或股票融资或共同投资的方式获得足够的额外资金，将会妨碍公司业务的持续发展，另外任何这样的未来融资可能会对现在的证券所有者产生稀释效应，包括认购人。

3.15         The Purchaser is solely responsible (and the Company is not responsible in any way) for compliance with all applicable hold periods and resale restrictions under which the Shares are subject;

认购人对遵守所有此股票受制于的适用的持有期和再销售限制独立负责（公司不以任何方式对此负责）。

3.16         The Purchaser understands that the purchase of the Shares is a highly speculative investment and that an investment in the Shares is suitable only for sophisticated investors and requires the financial ability and willingness to accept the possibility of the loss of all or substantially all of such investment as well as the risks and lack of liquidity inherent in an investment in the Company;

认购人理解购买此股票是具有很高投机性的投资，对此股票的投资只适合于复杂的投资者，且要求投资者具有接受失去全部或几乎全部投资、在本公司中投资的风险和流动性缺乏的经济能力和意愿。

3.17         Confidential Information. The Purchaser agrees that such Purchaser and its employees, agents and representatives will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge or use (other than for purposes of monitoring its investment in the Company) any confidential information which such Purchaser may obtain from the Company pursuant to financial statements, reports and other materials submitted by the Company to such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, unless such information is (i) known to the public through no fault of such Purchaser or his or its employees or representatives; (ii) becomes part of the public domain other than by a breach of this Agreement; (iii) becomes known by the action of a third party not in breach of a duty of confidence; or (iv) is required to be disclosed to a third party pursuant to any applicable law, government resolution, or decision of any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that a Purchaser may disclose such information (i) to its attorneys, accountants and other professionals in connection with their representation of such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s investment in the Company, (ii) to any prospective permitted transferee of the Securities, or (iii) to any general partner or affiliate of such Purchaser, so long as the prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section.

保密信息。认购人同意认购人和其雇员、代理、代表将对从公司根据此协议提供的财务报表、报告和其他材料中得到的保密信息进行保密，且不会披露、泄露和使用这些信息（除非是为了跟踪其在公司中的投资），除非这些信息是：（i）在未因为认购人及其雇员过错的情况下为大众所知晓；（ii）在不是因违背此协定的情况下成为公共领域的一部分；（iii）在不是因为第三方违背保密责任进行的行为的情况下为人所知；或（iv）因第三方在适用管辖区的适用法律、政府决议、或法庭决定的要求下而被披露；但是，认购人可以（i）向其律师、会计师和其他和对本公司投资相关的专业人员，（ii）向任何可能的收到允许的此证券的交易方，或（iii）向认购人的一般合伙人或附属主体披露这些信息，只要可能的交易方同意受到本条款的限制。

3.18         Regulation S Exemption.  The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that none of the Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, or under any state securities or "blue sky" laws of any state of the United States, and are being offered only in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act, and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. Persons (as defined herein), except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each case only in accordance with applicable state and provincial securities laws. The Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to him, her or it in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of the Purchaser to acquire the Shares.  In this regard, the Purchaser represents, warrants and agrees that:

S  条例豁免条款。认购人确认且同意股票未根据证券法或美国任何州“蓝天”证券法注册，且仅在证券法定义中的非公众邀约交易中进行邀约，且，除非进行该等注册，不得在美国境内或向美国人士（见协议中定义）出售，但是根据证券法下有效注册声明的、或根据证券法中可用豁免的、或不受证券法注册规定的交易的，且在上述各种情况下均符合相关州证券法的情况除外。认购人理解，将要向其提供并出售的股票依赖于美国联邦和州证券法中S条例规定的注册要求的豁免。公司将依赖于认购人在协议里的陈述、保证、合意、确认和理解的真实性和准确性为上述用途与目的决定豁免条款在其中的适用性和认购人获得股票的适当性。就这点而言，认购人陈述，保证并同意：

(i)            The Purchaser is not a U.S. Person and is not an affiliate (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the Securities Act) of the Company and is not acquiring the Shares for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person.  A “U.S. Person” means any one of the following:

认购人非美国人士，也非公司的关联人士（根据证券法501（b）条款的定义），且认购人购买的股票不为美国人士的目的或利益。 “美国人士” 定义为下列中的任意一种：

任何在美国的自然人居民；

基于美国法律组织或设立的任何合伙企业、有限责任公司、公司或者其他实体；

以美国人士为执行人或管理人的任何财产；

受托人是美国人士的任何信托；

任何位于美国的外国机构的代理人或分支；

任何经纪人或其他受托人拥有的，为美国人士的利益所设的非全权买卖账户或类似账户（除财产或信托）；

任何经纪人或其他受托人设立、组成的或（如果是个人）居民拥有的全权买卖账户或类似账户（除了财产或信托）；

任何合伙企业，组织、公司或其他实体，如果其：

基于任何外国管辖地的法律设立或组成；和

由美国人士以证券法中投资未注册的证券为主要目的， 除非是由非自然人，财产或信托的实体的合资格投资者（根据证券法第501（a）条款）设立或组成或拥有 。

(ii)           At the time of the origination of contact concerning this Agreement and the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Purchaser was outside of the United States.

在此协议开始沟通和签署日和协议的交付日时，认购人在美国境外。

(iii)          The Purchaser realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, the Purchaser has in mind merely acquiring the Shares for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The Purchaser does not have any such intention.

认购人了解，尽管作出相关陈述，但如果认购人认购仅意图为在未来一定期间内持有股票、或为市场上涨、或为在市场未上涨的情况下出售，则豁免的依据可能不存在。认购人没有上述意图。

(iv)         The Purchaser will not, during the period commencing on the date of issuance of the Shares and ending six months after such date (the “Restricted Period”), offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Shares in the United States, or to a U.S. Person for the account or for the benefit of a U.S. Person, unless such Shares have been registered for resale pursuant to the Securities Act, or otherwise in a manner that is not in compliance with Regulation S.

认购人不会在自发行股票日到其后6个月期间内（“受限制期限”）内，在美国进行股票的邀约、出售、质押或另外转让，或为美国人士利益或目的向其转让（除非股票的转让已在证券法下注册），或以任何其他不遵守S条例的方式进行邀约、出售、质押或另外转让。

(v)          The Purchaser will, after expiration of the Restricted Period, offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Shares only pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an available exemption therefrom and, in accordance with all applicable state and foreign securities laws.

认购人将在受限制期限届满后，根据证券法中的注册规定或者适用豁免条款，并依照适用的州和外国证券法邀约、出售、质押或者转让股票。

(vi)          The Purchaser was not in the United States engaged in, and prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period will not engage in, any short selling of or any hedging transaction with respect to the Shares, including without limitation, any put, call or other option transaction, option writing or equity swap.

在受限制期限届满前，认购人未在美国参与任何股票的卖空或者任何关于股票的对冲交易，包括但不限于，任何看涨、看跌或其他期权交易，期权出售或股权互换。

(vii)         Neither the Purchaser nor or any person acting on his or her behalf has engaged, nor will engage, in any directed selling efforts to a U.S. Person with respect to the Shares and the Purchaser and any person acting on his or her behalf have complied and will comply with the “offering restrictions” requirements of Regulation S under the Securities Act.

认购人或任何作为其代表的人士不能已参与或将参与任何直接将股票出售给美国人士的行为，且认购人和任何作为其代表的人士已遵守并将遵守证券法中S 条例的“邀约限制”要求。

(viii)        The transactions contemplated by this Agreement have not been pre-arranged with a buyer located in the United States or with a U.S. Person, and are not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

本协议计划的交易未与在美国境内的买家在或与美国人士预先安排，也非规避证券法注册要求计划或方案中的一部分。

(ix)           Neither the Purchaser nor any person acting on his or her behalf has undertaken or carried out any activity for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States, its territories or possessions, for any of the Shares.  The Purchaser agrees not to cause any advertisement of the Shares to be published in any newspaper or periodical or posted in any public place and not to issue any circular relating to the Shares, except such advertisements that include the statements required by Regulation S under the Securities Act, and only offshore and not in the U.S. or its territories, and only in compliance with any local applicable securities laws.

认购人或任何作为其代表的人士未进行或采取对于股票可被合理预计影响美国的市场情况、其领地和财产的行为。认购人同意不使任何关于股票的广告出现在报纸或者期刊或者在任何公共场所张贴，不发行任何关于股票的通知，除非广告包含证券法S条例中的陈述，并且位于离岸且不在美国或其领土，并且要遵循任何当地可适用的证券法。

(x)           The Purchaser has carefully reviewed and completed the investor questionnaire annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

认购人已仔细审阅和完成 附录A中的投资人问卷调查.

3.19         No Advertisements or Direct Selling Effort.  The Purchaser is not subscribing for the Shares as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or via the Internet, or presented at any seminar or meeting. The Purchaser has not acquired the Shares as a result of, and will not itself engage in, any "directed selling efforts" (as defined in Regulation S) in the United States in respect of any of the Shares which would include any activities undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for the resale of any of the Shares; provided, however, that the Purchaser may sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares pursuant to registration of any of the Shares pursuant to the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or under an exemption from such registration requirements and as otherwise provided herein.

禁止广告或直接出售。认购人没有由于或继广告、文件、 通知或其他在任何报纸、杂志，或任何类似媒体或电视收音机转播或互联网或在任何研讨会或会议的其他出版传播之后认购股票。认购人收购股票并非基于，且其自身不参与，任何在美国境内关于股票“直接出售”（见S条例中定义），包括为股票转售而进行的可被合理预计影响美国的市场情况行为；但条件是，认购人可以通过证券法及相关州证券法下的股票注册或对于注册规定的豁免或本协议中另外所作规定对股票进行出售或另外处置。

3.20         Economic Considerations.  The Purchaser is not relying on the Company, or its affiliates or agents with respect to economic considerations involved in this investment.  The Purchaser has relied solely on his or her own advisors.

经济因素。认购人不能依赖于公司或其关联或代理关于此投资中包括的经济因素。认购人仅依赖于其顾问。

3.21         Compliance with Laws.  Any resale of the Shares during the “distribution compliance period” as defined in Rule 902(f) to Regulation S shall only be made in compliance with exemptions from registration afforded by Regulation S.  Further, any such sale of the Shares in any jurisdiction outside of the United States will be made in compliance with the securities laws of such jurisdiction.  The Purchaser will not offer to sell or sell the Shares in any jurisdiction unless the Purchaser obtains all required consents, if any.

遵守法律。任何根据S条例下902（f）条款在“发行合规期”内股票的转售必须仅在遵循S条例下注册豁免条款的情况进行。而且，任何此类在非美国管辖地的出售要遵循管辖地的法律。认购人不能在任何管辖地发出出售或者出售股票的邀约，除非认购人获得所有要求的同意（若有）。

3.22         No Minimum. The Purchaser understands that although there may be multiple Closing with other Purchasers, there might be no other Purchasers and that the funds that the Company receives from the undersigned Purchaser in connection with this Agreement might be the only funds that the Company receives from this placement. Such funds might not be sufficient to meet the Company’s funding needs in connection with the placement.没有最低要求。认购人理解，虽然公司或许跟其他认购人有多次交割，但也可能不存在其他认购人，公司从本协议签字的认购人处收到的资金或许是公司在此次募集收到的唯一资金。这笔资金或许不足以满足公司与本次募集有关的募资需求。

4.1           Legends. Each certificate representing the Shares shall be endorsed with the following legends, in addition to any other legend required to be placed thereon by applicable federal or state securities laws:

标志。任何表现股票的证明应包含以下内容的标志背书，附加适用联邦或州证券法要求包含的标志：

“该证券仅向非美国人士（具体定义请参见美国1933年证券法（“证券法”）及其修正案）提出邀约，该证券根据证券法S条例未在美国证券交易委员会注册。”

“TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES IS PROHIBITED, EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF REGULATION S PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.”

“除非符合证券法S条例、根据证券法注册规定，或根据可用的注册豁免， 不得转让该证券。除非符合证券法规定，不得进行对冲交易。”

4.2           Company’s Refusal to Register Transfer of Shares. The Company shall refuse to register any transfer of the Shares not made in accordance with (i) the provisions of Regulation S, (ii) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, or (iii) pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

2.        Registration.

(a)               On or prior to the Filing Date for the Initial Registration Statement, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. In the event that, at any time, all of the Registrable Securities are no longer registered for resale under the Initial Registration Statement or under an Additional Registration Statement, all Registrable Securities that are not then registered under an effective Registration Statement shall be registered under an Additional Registration Statement, each such Additional Registration Statement, which shall be filed on or before the applicable Filing Date for such Additional Registration Statement.

(b)               Each Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be on Form F-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form F-3, in which case such Registration Statement shall be on Form F-1 or on another appropriate form in accordance herewith, subject to the provisions of Section 2(f)) and shall contain (unless otherwise directed by at least 85% in interest of the Holders) substantially the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as Annex A and substantially the “Selling Shareholder” section attached hereto as Annex B; provided, however, that no Holder shall be required to be named as an “underwriter” without such Holder’s express prior written consent. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Section 3(c)) to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement continue to be Registrable Securities (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall on the Trading Day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424. Failure to file a final Prospectus as foresaid shall be deemed an Event under Section 2(e).

(c)               Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Section 2(a), if the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the Commission, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form F-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering, subject to the provisions of Section 2(f); with respect to filing on Form F-3 or other appropriate form, and subject to the provisions of Section 2(e) with respect to the payment of liquidated damages; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.

(d)               Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(e), if the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows:

In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the Holder at least two (2) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s allotment. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form F-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended.

(e)               If: (i) the Initial Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date (if the Company files the Initial Registration Statement without affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(a) herein, the Company shall be deemed to have not satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, within five Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, or (iii) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement within fifteen (15) calendar days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the Commission that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective, or (iv) a Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date of the Initial Registration Statement, or (v) after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize, for reasons outside of the Holders’ control, the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of twenty-five (25) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clauses (i) and (iv), the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such five (5) Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date which such ten (10) calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (v) the date on which such fifteen (15) or twenty-five (25) calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 2.0% multiplied by the aggregate Subscription Amount paid by such Holder pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.

(f)                If Form F-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form F-1 or another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form F-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form F-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.

(g)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be permitted to name any Holder or affiliate of a Holder as an underwriter without the prior written consent of such Holder.

3.        Registration Procedures.

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

(a)               Not less than three (3) Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall (i) furnish to each Holder copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Holders, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in good faith, provided that, the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than three (3) Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement or one (1) Trading Day after the Holders have been so furnished copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto. Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex B (a “Selling Shareholder Questionnaire”) on a date that is not less than two (2) Trading Days prior to the Filing Date or by the end of the fourth (4^th) Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this Section.

(b)               (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably possible to the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to a Registration Statement (provided that, the Company shall excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and (iv) comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

(c)               If during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of Ordinary Shares then registered in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case prior to the applicable Filing Date, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less than the number of such Registrable Securities.

(d)               Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided, however, that in no event shall any such notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

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

(f)                Furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission; provided, that any such item which is available on the EDGAR system (or successor thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.

(g)               Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).

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

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

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

(k)               Otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof, with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly inform the Holders in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Holders are required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder.

(l)                 The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain eligibility for use of Form F-3 (or any successor form thereto) for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities.

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

4.        Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with, this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement.

In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions of any Holder or any legal fees or other costs of the Holders.

5.        Indemnification.

(a)               Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Ordinary Shares), investment advisors and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, partners, agents and employees (of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, relating to a third-party claim arising out of (1) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(b). The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in accordance with Section 6(f).

(b)               Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information relates to such Holder’s information provided in the Selling Shareholder Questionnaire or the proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of a selling Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

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

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

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

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

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a Holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

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

6.        Miscellaneous.

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

(b)               Discontinued Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company agrees and acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2(e).

(c)               Piggy-Back Registrations. If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form F-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6(c) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public information requirements) promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement that is available for resales or other dispositions by such Holder.

(d)               Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of 50.1% or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (for purposes of clarification, this includes any Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of any Security, if applicable), provided that, if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Holder (or group of Holders), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Holder (or group of Holders) shall be required. If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 6(d). No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

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

(f)                Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under Section 5.17 of the Subscription Agreement.

(g)               No Inconsistent Agreements. Except previously disclosed to the Purchasers, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except as set forth on Schedule 6(g), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been satisfied in full.

(h)               Execution and Counterparts. 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 the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or 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 facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

(i)                 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Subscription Agreement.

(j)                 Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

(k)               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.

(l)                 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

(m)             Independent Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Holder. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder, solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.

Annex A

Plan of Distribution

Each Selling Shareholder (the “Selling Shareholders”) of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

The Selling Shareholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Shareholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Shareholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Ordinary Shares for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the Ordinary Shares by the Selling Shareholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

The Ordinary Shares being offered by the selling shareholders are those previously issued to the selling shareholders. For additional information regarding the issuances of those Ordinary Shares, see “Private Placement of Ordinary Shares” above. We are registering the Ordinary Shares in order to permit the selling shareholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the Ordinary Shares, the selling shareholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

The table below lists the selling shareholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares by each of the selling shareholders. The second column lists the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by each selling shareholder, based on its ownership of the Ordinary Shares, as of ________, 2021.

The third column lists the Ordinary Shares being offered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders.

In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling shareholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the number of Ordinary Shares issued to the selling shareholders in the __________________ as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the registration rights agreement. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus.

The selling shareholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See "Plan of Distribution."
