Closing Date, as the case may be, prevent the issuance, sale or delivery of the Shares by the Company; and no injunction or order of
any federal, state or foreign court shall have been issued that would, as of the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the
case may be, prevent the issuance, sale or delivery of the Shares. There shall not have been any adverse legislative or regulatory developments
in the Singapore, Cayman Islands, or the United States following the signing of this Agreement, which in the Representative’s sole
judgment in good faith after consultation with the Company, would make it inadvisable or impractical to proceed with the public offering
or the delivery of the Shares at the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in this Agreement.
(n)

the Company’s Subsidiaries in their respective jurisdictions of organization and their good standing in such other jurisdictions

form of an opinion of counsel licensed in the applicable jurisdiction.
(o)
Lock-Up Agreements. The Lock-Up Agreements, in the form of Exhibit A hereto, executed by the individuals and entities listed

462 Registration Statement with the Commission in compliance with Rule 462(b) promptly after 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the date of
this Agreement, and the Company shall have at the time of filing either paid to the Commission the filing fee for the Rule 462 Registration
Statement or given irrevocable instructions for the payment of such fee pursuant to Rule 111(b) under the Securities Act.
(r)
Additional Documents. On or prior to the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, the Representative shall
have received such information, opinions, certificates and other additional documents from the Company as they may reasonably require
for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon the accuracy and completeness of any statement in the Registration Statement, the Pricing
Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, the issuance and sale of the Shares as contemplated herein or in order to evidence the accuracy
of any of the representations and warranties, or the satisfaction of any of the covenants, closing conditions or other obligations, contained
in this Agreement.
All
opinions, letters, certificates and other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement will be deemed to be in compliance with the
provisions hereof only if they are satisfactory in form and substance to counsel for the Underwriters.

any condition specified in this Section 5 is not satisfied when and as required to be satisfied, this Agreement and all obligations of
the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Representative by notice to the Company at any time on or prior to the Closing Date
or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, which termination shall be without liability on the part of any party to any other
party, except that the Company shall continue to be liable for the payment of expenses under Section 4 and Section 9 hereof and except
that the provisions of Section 6 and Section 7 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive any such termination.
6.
Indemnification.
(a)
Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its Affiliates, each person, if any, who
controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each director,
officer, employee and agent of any of the foregoing (each an “Underwriter Indemnified Party,” collectively the “Underwriter
Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation,
any and all legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees
and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Pricing Disclosure Package or
any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required
to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any Road Show, or the Final Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto,
or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or (ii) any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
and reimburse each such Underwriter Indemnified Party for any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such person in connection
with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, whether or not such foregoing person is a party to any action or proceeding.
The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 6(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company may otherwise have; provided
that the indemnity provided in this Section 7(a) shall not relate to any liability or claim based on the Underwriter Information.
(b)
Indemnification of the Company by the Underwriters. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, its directors, each officer who has signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any and all legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with
any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, to the same extent as
the indemnity set forth in Section 6(a) hereof; provided, however, that each Underwriter shall be liable only to the extent
that any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment
or supplement thereto), any Pricing Disclosure Package (including any Pricing Disclosure Package that has subsequently been amended),
the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Road Show in reliance upon,
and in conformity with, the Underwriter Information relating to such Underwriter; it being understood and agreed that the only information
furnished by the Underwriters to the Company in connection with the offering are the Underwriter Information defined below. The indemnity
agreement set forth in this Section 6(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Underwriter may otherwise have.
(c)
Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory
investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant
to this Section 6, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification
may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying
Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under this Section 6 except to the extent that it has been materially
prejudiced by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve
it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 6. If any such proceeding shall be
brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall notify the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall
retain counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (which counsel shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel
to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person in such proceeding and shall pay all the fees and expenses of such counsel
related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the
Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable
time to assume the defense or retain counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying
Person; (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the
Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interest between them; or (v) the Indemnified Person has incurred such fees and expenses of the counsel retained by it in connection
with any regulatory investigation or inquiry. Any firm for (i) any Underwriter Indemnified Party shall be designated in writing by the
Representative; and (ii) the Company, its directors, its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall be designated
in writing by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for all the fees and expenses of one firm
(in addition to local counsel, if any) representing all Indemnified Persons designated as provided in the preceding sentence, except
as prohibited by applicable laws.
(d)
Settlements. The Indemnifying Person under this Section 6 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without
its written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment
for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Person from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability
or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall
have requested an Indemnifying Person to reimburse the Indemnified Person for any fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this
Section 6, the Indemnifying Person agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent
if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such Indemnifying Person of the aforesaid request, (ii) such
Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement
and (iii) such Indemnified Person shall have given the Indemnifying Person 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. No
Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld,
effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect
of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified
Person, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (iv) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from and against all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such action, suit or proceeding and (v) does not include any statements as to or any admission of fault, culpability or failure to act
by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.
7.
Contribution. To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 6 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an
Indemnified Person in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person,
in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Person, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Person, on
the other hand, from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is
not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause
(i) above but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Person, on the other hand, in
connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other
hand, in connection with the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions
as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company,
on the one hand, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, on the other hand, in each case as
set forth in the table on the cover of the Final Prospectus bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Shares. The relative
fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The
amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed
to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6 hereof, any and all legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party
in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 6 hereof with respect to notice
of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 7; provided, however,
that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 7 hereof for purposes
of indemnification.
The
Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined
by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which
does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 7.
Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with the Shares distributed by it exceeds the amount
of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise paid or been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’
respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective commitments
as set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto.
For
purposes of this Section 7, each Affiliate, director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls
an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as such Underwriter, and each director, and each officer of the Company who has signed the Registration Statement, and each
person, if any, who controls the Company with the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall
have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
The
remedies provided for in Section 6 and Section 7 hereof are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise
be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.
The
indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 7 and Section 3(s) and the representations, warranties and other statements
of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this
Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of (A) any Underwriter, its directors, officers, employees, any person controlling
any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter, or (B) the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company,
and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.
8.
Termination. Prior to the delivery of and payment for the Shares on the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case
may be, this Agreement may be terminated by the Underwriters by written notice given to the Company if after the execution and delivery
of this Agreement: (i) trading or quotation of any securities issued by the Company shall have been suspended or materially limited on
any securities exchange, quotation system or in any over-the-counter market; (ii) trading generally on any of the New York Stock Exchange,
the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Stock Market, or other relevant exchanges or the over-the-counter market shall have been suspended or materially
limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges
or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other government authority; (iii) a general banking moratorium on commercial banking activities
shall have been declared by federal, New York state, Singapore, or Cayman Islands authorities; (iv) there shall have occurred a material
disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States, the Singapore, (v) there
shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in the financial markets, currency exchange rates, or controls
or any calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in general economic, financial or political conditions
that, as in the reasonable judgment of the Representative is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event
specified in this clause (v) makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the Closing
Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, in the manner and on the terms described in the Pricing Disclosure Package or
Final Prospectus to enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares; (vi) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall have sustained a
material loss by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident or other calamity of such character as in the reasonable judgment of the Representative
may interfere materially with the conduct of the business and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, considered as one entity,
regardless of whether or not such loss shall have been insured; (vii) there has been, in the judgment of the Representative, since the
time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the
Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, any Material Adverse Change of the Company and the Subsidiaries considered as one
enterprise, whether or not in the ordinary course of business.
Any
termination pursuant to this Section 8 shall be without liability on the part of: (i) the Company to the Underwriters, except that the
Company shall continue to be liable for the payment of expenses under Section 4(a) hereof; (ii) any Underwriter to the Company; or (iii)
any party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Section 6 and Section 7 hereof shall at all times be effective and
shall survive any such termination.
9.

to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Shares, the Company
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waives and agrees not to plead or claim any such immunity
and consent to such relief and enforcement.
18.

of any judgment or order being given or made against the Company for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed
and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than United States dollars and as a result of any variation
as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose
of each judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange in The City of New York at which an Underwriter on the date of receipt of payment
of such judgment or order is able to purchase United States dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by such
Underwriter if such Underwriter had utilized such amount of Judgment Currency to purchase United States dollars within two business days
following such Underwriter’s receipt thereof. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of
the Company and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. If the United States
dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Underwriter, the Company agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding
any such judgment, to indemnify such Underwriter against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum
originally due to the Underwriters hereunder, the Underwriters agree to pay to the Company an amount equal to the excess of the dollars
so purchased over the sum originally due to the Underwriters hereunder. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums
and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
any and all right to trial by jury in any Related Proceeding.
20.
No Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this
Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Shares and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length
commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand; the Company is capable
of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter
is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or its Affiliates, shareholders, members,
partners, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility
in favor of the Company with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether
such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the
obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Underwriters and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a
broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, and the several Underwriters have no obligation
to disclose any of such interests or transactions to the Company by virtue of any agency, fiduciary or advisory relationship; and (v)
the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice in any jurisdiction with respect to the offering contemplated
hereby and the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and
tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Company waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from breach of fiduciary duty or an alleged breach of fiduciary duty, and agrees
that none of the Underwriters shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty
claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company in connection with the offering of the
Shares or any matters leading up to the offering of the Shares.
21.

into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective
clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of its clients, as well as other information that
will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.
22.
Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters.
(a)
This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto;
(b)
If, on the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse
to purchase the Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of the Shares which
such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth (10%) of the aggregate
number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number
of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth
opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the Representative may specify, to purchase
the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that,
in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant
to this Section 22 by an amount in excess of one-ninth (1/9) of such number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter.
If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm
Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth (10%) of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased
on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representative and the Company for the purchase of such Firm Shares are not made within
thirty six (36) hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter
or the Company. In any such case, either the Representative or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in
no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Pricing Disclosure
Package, in the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Additional Closing Date, any Underwriter
or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Option Shares and the aggregate number of Option Shares with respect to which such default
occurs is more than one-tenth (10%) of the aggregate number of Option Shares to be purchased on such Additional Closing Date, the non-defaulting
Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Option Shares to be sold on such Additional
Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Option Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated
to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability
in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
(c)
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company
to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform
its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement
with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) incurred
by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
23.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company
and the Underwriters with respect to the subject matter hereof.
24.
Amendments or Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor any consent or approval to any departure
therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by all the parties hereto. No waiver by any
party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written
waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after the waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay
in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise of any
other right, remedy power or privilege.
25.
Section Headings. The headings of the Sections herein are included for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be
part of, or to affect the meaning or interpretation of, this Agreement.

Tiger Securities, Inc.

York, NY 10022
As
the Representative of the several underwriters as set forth in Schedule I of the Underwriting Agreement
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
The
undersigned understands that US Tiger Securities, Inc. (the “Representative”) propose to enter into an underwriting agreement
dated September 30, 2024 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Homestolife Ltd, a Cayman Islands company (the “Company”),
providing for the initial public offering by the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”) in the United States (the “Initial
Public Offering”) of a certain number of Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 each, of the Company. For purposes of this letter agreement,
“Shares” shall mean the Company’s Ordinary Shares.
To
induce the Underwriters to continue their efforts in connection with the Initial Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that,
without the prior written consent of the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters, he or she (with respect to the directors, officers
and greater than 5% securityholders) during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending six (6) months after the date of Final
Prospectus (the “Lock-Up Period”), and the Company and its any successor will not (1) offer, pledge, announce the intention
to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option,
right or warrant to purchase, make any short sale, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares or any
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for or represent the right to receive Shares, whether now beneficially owned
(as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) or hereafter
acquired by the undersigned (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”); (2) enter into a transaction which would have the same
effect, or any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership
of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) above or this clause (2) is to be settled by delivery
of Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise; (3) make any written demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration
of any Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares; or (4) publicly disclose the intention to do
any of the foregoing.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent
of the Underwriters in connection with, as the case may be, (a) transactions relating to Lock-Up Securities acquired in open market transactions
after the completion of the Initial Public Offering, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be
required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of the Lock-up Securities acquired in such open market transactions;
(b) transfers of Lock-Up Securities as a bona fide gift, by will or intestacy upon the death of the directors, officers or greater than
5% securityholders or to an immediate family member or trust for the benefit of the undersigned and/or one or more family members (for
purposes of this lock-up agreement, “family member” means any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote
than first cousin); (c) transfers of Lock-Up Securities to a charity or educational institution or other not-for-profit organization;
(d) if the undersigned, directly or indirectly, controls a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity,
any transfers of Lock-Up Securities to any such corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, or any
shareholder, partner or member of, or owner of similar equity interests in, the same, as the case may be; (e) a sale or surrender to
the Company of any share options or Shares of the Company underlying share options in order to pay the exercise price or taxes associated
with the exercise of share options pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans which are outstanding as of the date of the
Registration Statement, provided that such lock-up restrictions shall apply to any of the undersigned’s Shares issued upon
such exercise; or (f) transfers or distributions pursuant to any bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, acquisition, consolidation
or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Company’s Shares involving a Change of Control of the Company, provided
that in the event that such tender offer, merger, acquisition, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Lock-Up
Securities held by the undersigned shall remain subject to the provisions of this lock-up agreement; provided that in the case
of any transfer pursuant to the foregoing clauses (b), (c) or (d), (i) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (ii)
each transferee shall sign and deliver to the Underwriters a lock-up agreement in the form of this lock-up agreement and (iii) no filing
under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act of shall be required or shall be voluntarily made (collectively, “Permitted Transfers”).
For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Change of Control” shall mean any transaction or series of related transactions
pursuant to which any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange
Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or
indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis. In addition, the undersigned
agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters, the undersigned will not, during
the Lock-up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Shares or any securities convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Shares. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions
with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s Lock-Up Securities except in compliance
with this lock-up agreement.
The
undersigned agrees that (i) the foregoing restrictions shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed or “friends and family”
Shares that the undersigned may purchase in the Initial Public Offering, (ii) at least three (3) business days before the effective date
of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of Lock-Up Securities, the Underwriters will notify
the Company of the impending release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by the Underwriters hereunder to the Company or any of
its officers or directors shall only be effective two (2) business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions
of this paragraph will not apply if (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer of Lock-Up Securities not for consideration
or in connection with any other Permitted Transfer and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by a lock-up agreement in
the form of this lock-up agreement and for the duration such terms of this agreement remain in effect at the time of the transfer.
No
provision in this agreement shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the exercise, exchange or conversion by the undersigned of any securities
exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into Shares, as applicable; provided that the undersigned does not transfer the
Shares acquired on such exercise, exchange or conversion during the Lock-Up Period, unless in connection with a Permitted Transfer or
in a transfer otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of this lock-up agreement. In addition, no provision herein shall be deemed to
restrict or prohibit the entry into or modification of a so-called “10b5-1” plan at any time (other than the entry into or
modification of such a plan in such a manner as to cause the sale of any Lock-Up Securities within the Lock-Up Period). Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to prohibit or restrict the Company from filing a registration statement on Form S-8 covering ordinary shares
issuable pursuant to an equity incentive plan.
The
undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this lock-up agreement in proceeding toward consummation
of the Initial Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this lock-up agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon
the undersigned’s heirs, legal Underwriters, successors and assigns.
The
undersigned understands that, if the Underwriting Agreement does not become effective, or if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the
provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Shares to be
sold thereunder, then this lock-up agreement shall be void and of no further force or effect.
Whether
or not the Initial Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. The Initial Public Offering
will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters.
This
lock-up agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict
of laws principles thereof. The undersigned hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court of the State of New York located
in the City and County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York over any suit, action
or proceeding arising out of or relating to this agreement (each, a “Related Proceeding”). The undersigned irrevocably waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which he or she or it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Related
Proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such Related Proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient
forum. Delivery of a signed copy of this lock-up agreement by facsimile or e-mail/.pdf transmission shall be effective as the delivery
of the original hereof.
Terms
used herein but not defined shall have the same meaning assigned to them as in the Underwriting Agreement.
