Neither the Company, the Selling Stockholder nor any Purchaser has relied on any representations not contained or referred to in this Agreement and the Private Placement Memorandum delivered herewith.

For purposes of any action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby, each party hereto (a) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court located within New York County, State of New York (or in any court in which appeal from such courts may be taken), (b) agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 10(a) shall be effective service of process for any Action with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 10(f), (c) waives and covenants not to assert or plead, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that the action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and hereby agrees not to challenge such jurisdiction or venue by reason of any offsets or counterclaims in any such action, and (d) waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law or in equity.
13 |
(g) Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waive the right any may have to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation based hereon, or arising out of, under, or in connection with this Agreement and any agreement contemplated to be executed in connection herewith, or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or written) or actions of any party in connection with such agreements, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether sounding in tort or contract or otherwise. Each party hereto acknowledges that it has been informed by the other parties hereto that this Section 10(g) constitutes a material inducement upon which they are relying and will rely in entering into this Agreement. Any party hereto may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Section 10(g) with any court as written evidence of the consent of each such party to the waiver of its right to trial by jury.
(h) Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement.
(i) Counsel; Ambiguities. Each party and its counsel have participated, or have had the opportunity to participate, fully in the review of this Agreement. The parties understand and agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply in interpreting the Agreement.
(j) Expenses. The Company and each Purchaser will each bear their own legal and other expenses with respect to this Offering.
(k) Headings; Interpretation. The headings of the various sections and paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted only for the purposes of convenience; such captions are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed in any manner to modify, explain, enlarge or restrict any of the provisions of this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.
(l) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
14 |
(m) Obligations Independent. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers 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 Purchasers are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

EXHIBIT A
FORM OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
18 |
EXHIBIT B
FORM OF WARRANT
JERASH HOLDINGS (US), INC.
WARRANT
THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON ITS EXERCISE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT’), OR QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY ONLY BE ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES ONLY AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON ITS EXERCISE MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THIS WARRANT OR SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT AND QUALIFICATION UNDER APPLICABLE STATE LAW OR WITHOUT AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION ARE NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT OR RECEIPT OF A NO-ACTION LETTER FROM THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE “SEC”).
Warrant Shares: _____ | Issuance Date: ___________, 20__ |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, JERASH HOLDINGS (US), INC., as of ___________, 20__ (the “Issuance Date”) a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that _______________________, or their registered assigns (the “Warrant Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company _________________ shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) as defined in the signature block, exercisable at $6.25 per share (the “Exercise Price”), subject to adjustment hereunder. This Warrant may be exercised any time after issuance through and including the five (5) year anniversary of the Issuance Date (the “Expiration Date”), subject to the following terms and conditions set out in this Warrant.
1. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Warrant Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Warrant Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Warrant Holder, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.
2. Investment Representation. The Warrant Holder by accepting this Warrant represents that the Warrant Holder is acquiring this Warrant for its own account or the account of an affiliate for investment purposes and not with the view to any offering or distribution and that the Warrant Holder will not sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or the underlying Warrant Shares in violation of applicable securities laws. The Warrant Holder acknowledges that the certificates representing any Warrant Shares will bear a legend indicating that they have not been registered under the Act and may not be sold by the Warrant Holder except pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to an exemption from registration requirements of the Act and in accordance with federal and state securities laws.
19 |
3. Validity of Warrant and Issue of Shares. The Company represents and warrants that this Warrant has been duly authorized and validly issued and warrants and agrees that all of the shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, when issued upon such exercise, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further warrants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.
4. Registration of Transfers and Exchange of Warrants.
(a) Subject to compliance with the legend set forth on the face of this Warrant, the Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at the office specified in or pursuant to Section 9. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Warrant Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a Warrant Holder of a Warrant.
(b) This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Warrant Holder to the office of the Company specified in or pursuant to Section 9 for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased hereunder. Any such New Warrant will be dated the date of such exchange.
5. Exercise of Warrants.
(a) This Warrant may be exercised at any time and from time to time from and after the Issuance Date and through and including the Expiration Date, for such number of Warrant Shares as is indicated in the form of Election to Purchase, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A. If less than all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are exercised at any time, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares for which no exercise has been evidenced by this Warrant. At 5:00 P.M., New York time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.
(b) Exercise of this Warrant shall be made upon surrender of this Warrant (or any New Warrant, as applicable), with an Election to Purchase in the form attached hereto (or attached to such New Warrant), appropriately completed and duly signed, to the Company at its address set forth in Section 9.
(c) A “Date of Exercise” means the date on which the Company shall have received (i) this Warrant (or any New Warrant, as applicable), with an Election to Purchase in the form attached hereto (or attached to such New Warrant), appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Election to Purchase (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of Warrant Shares issuable to the Warrant Holder per the terms of this Warrant), as set forth herein.

(d) Payment upon exercise may be made at the written option of the Warrant Holder either by cashless exercise, as set forth in Section 6, or in cash, wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to the applicable aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Election to Purchase (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of Warrant Shares issuable to the Warrant Holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the Warrant Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares determined as provided herein.
(e) The Company shall promptly, but in no event later than five (5) business days after the Date of Exercise as defined herein, issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to, or upon the written order of the Warrant Holder in such name or names as the Warrant Holder may designate (subject to the restrictions on transfer described in the legend set forth on the face of this Warrant), a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, with such restrictive legend as required by the Act. If no such restrictive legend is applicable, upon request of the Warrant Holder, the Warrant Shares will be recorded by book entry with the Company’s transfer agent. Any person so designated by the Warrant Holder to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant.
6. Cashless Exercise.
(a) If at any time after six (6) months following the Issuance Date and prior to the Expiration Date there is not an effective registration statement on file with the SEC covering the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Holder, then at such time this Warrant may also be exercised by means of a cashless exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to make any cash payments or net cash settlement to the Warrant Holder in lieu of issuance of the Warrant Shares. Upon a “cashless exercise”, the Warrant Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, together with the Election to Purchase, and the Company shall issue to the Warrant Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
X = Y (A-B)/A
where:
X = The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Warrant Holder.
Y = The number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.
A = The fair market value of one Warrant Share.
B = The Exercise Price.
For purposes of this Section 6(a), the fair market value of one Warrant Share shall be determined by the first of the following clauses that applies:
21 |
(i) if the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange, the fair market value shall be the last sale price on the trading day immediately prior to the Date of Exercise or, if no sale of the Company's Common Stock took place on the trading day immediately prior to the Date of Exercise, then the fair market value shall be the last sale price on the most recent day prior to the Date of Exercise on which trades were made and reported;
(ii) if the Common Stock is traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the last sale price on the trading day immediately prior to the Date of Exercise or, if no sale of the Company's Common Stock took place on the trading day immediately prior to the Date of Exercise, then the fair market value shall be the last sale price on the most recent day prior to the Date of Exercise on which trades were made and reported; or
(iii) if there is no active public market for the Common Stock, the fair market value thereof shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
(b) For purposes of Rule 144 of the Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Warrant Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been commenced, on the Issuance Date.
7. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. The number of full Warrant Shares that shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 7, be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, at its option, (i) pay an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction or (ii) round the number of Warrant Shares issuable up to the next whole number.
8. Adjustment for Certain Events. The number, class, and price of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are divided into a greater number of shares, by forward stock split or otherwise, or a dividend in stock is paid on the Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is then exercisable will be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price will be proportionately reduced. Conversely, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, by reverse stock split or otherwise, then the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is then exercisable will be proportionately reduced and the Exercise Price will be proportionately increased. The increases and reductions provided for in this Section 8(a) will be made with the intent and, as nearly as practicable, the effect that neither the percentage of the total equity of the Company obtainable on exercise of the Warrants nor the price payable for such percentage upon such exercise will be affected by any event described in this Section 8(a).
22 |
(b) Merger, Consolidation, Reclassification, Reorganization, Etc. In case of any change in Common Stock through merger, consolidation, reclassification, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation, purchase of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, or other change in the capital structure of the Company, then, as a condition of such change, lawful and adequate provision will be made so that the Warrant Holder will have the right thereafter to receive upon the exercise of the Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property to which the Warrant Holder would have been entitled if, immediately prior to such event, the Warrant Holder had held the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon the exercise of the Warrant. In any such case, appropriate adjustment will be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Warrant Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth herein will thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrant. The Company will not permit any change in its capital structure to occur unless the issuer of the shares of stock or other securities to be received by the Warrant Holder agrees to comply with the provisions of this Warrant.

Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given, (i) when received if given in person or by courier or a courier service, (ii) on the date of transmission if sent by facsimile or email transmission or (iii) three (3) business days after being deposited in the U.S. mail, certified or registered mail, postage prepaid:

(f) The Warrant Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any voting or other rights of a shareholder of the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Warrant Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant.
(g) This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.
