reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities, will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become an “investment company” subject to registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

To the knowledge of the Company, there is no liability for unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, nor there is, to the knowledge of the Company a basis for any such claim.

Neither the Company nor any Person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  The Company has offered the Securities for sale only to the Purchasers and certain other “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

(b)                                 The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form (and no other legend of any kind):

 

[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION

 

30


 

STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [EXERCISE] [CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties.  Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith.  Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge.  At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) thereunder.

 

(c)                                  Certificates evidencing the Shares and the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares or Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), (iii) if such Shares or Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants) without volume limitations and the current information requirements are met at such time or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Purchaser if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder or if requested by a Purchaser to effect the removal of the legend hereunder.  If all or any portion of a Debenture is converted or Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without volume limitations and current information requirements are met at such time or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends.  The

 

31



 

Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than the earlier of (i) three (3) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate evidencing the Shares or the Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Shares or Underlying Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.  Shares or Underlying Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as applicable, as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend.

 

(d)                                 From and after the US Listing Date, in addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the ADSs or Ordinary Shares, as applicable, on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the 2nd Trading Day following the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Securities so delivered to the Company by such Purchaser that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) ADSs or Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of all or any portion of the number of ADSs or Ordinary Shares, or a sale of a number of ADSs or Ordinary Shares equal to all or any portion of the number of ADSs or Ordinary Shares that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the ADSs or Ordinary Shares so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of Underlying Shares that the Company was required to deliver to such Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the ADSs or Ordinary Shares, as applicable, on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Purchaser to the Company of the applicable Underlying Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii).

 

(e)                                  Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they

will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

 

4.2                               Acknowledgment of Dilution.  The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions.  The Company further acknowledges that, provided that a holder of the Securities complies with the Purchaser Israeli Undertakings, its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other shareholders of the Company.

(b)                                 At any time during the period commencing from the US Listing Date  and ending at such time that all of the Securities may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company (i) shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144 (i)(1)(i) or becomes an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2), in each case, for a period of at least five (5) Trading Days (a “Public Information Failure”) then, in addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as

36



 

by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.  The indemnification required by this Section 4.10 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred.  The maximum liability of the Company with respect to all Losses indemnifiable pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall be an amount equal to the aggregate Subscription Amount actually paid to the Company by the Purchasers. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

 

4.11                        Reservation and Listing of Securities.

 

(a)                                 The Company shall maintain a reserve of the Required Minimum from its duly authorized Ordinary Shares for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.

 

(b)                                 If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) Ordinary Shares is less than the Required Minimum on such date, then the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to amend the Company’s memorandum or articles of association to increase the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to at least the Required Minimum at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 75th day after such date.

 

(c)                                  The Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by TASE, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of Ordinary Shares at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such Ordinary Shares to be approved for listing or quotation on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing or quotation and (iv) maintain the listing or quotation of such Ordinary Shares on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date on TASE or another Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Ordinary Shares and ADSs for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

 

4.12                        Participation in Future Financing.

 

(a)                                 From the First Closing Date until the date that is the twelve (12) month anniversary of the First Closing Date, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents for cash consideration (a “Subsequent Financing”), each Purchaser shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Portion (the

 

37



 

Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing.  For purposes herein, “Pro Rata Portion” means the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the number of Ordinary Shares, including Underlying Shares (including for such purposes unconverted Conversion Shares on a fully diluted basis and Additional Shares on a pro-forma basis), held by the Purchaser to the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company on the date of determination on a fully diluted basis.  At least five (5) Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”).  Upon the request of a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Purchaser.  The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto as an attachment.

 

(b)                                 Any Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Company by not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice that such Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of such Purchaser’s participation, and representing and warranting that such Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.  If the Company receives no such notice from a Purchaser as of such fifth (5th) Trading Day, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate.

 

(c)                                  If by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th ) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, notifications by the Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.

 

(d)                                 [RESERVED]

 

(e)                                  The Company must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchasers will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 4.12, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within thirty (30) Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.

 

(f)                                   The Company and each Purchaser agree that if any Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents related to the

 

38



 

Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision whereby such Purchaser shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the Securities purchased hereunder or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser.

 

(g)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.12 and unless otherwise agreed to by such Purchaser, the Company shall either confirm in writing to such Purchaser that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such that such Purchaser will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the tenth (10th) Business Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice.  If by such tenth (10th) Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Purchaser, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Purchaser shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(h)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance.

 

4.13                        Subsequent Equity Sales.

 

(a)                                 Until the date that Shareholder Approval is obtained or the Second Closing Termination Date (as the case may be), the Company or any Subsidiary may not issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any ADSs, Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents to officers or directors of the Company other than with respect to the exercise of any options outstanding as of the date of this Agreement (provided such options are not amended after the date hereof).

 

(b)                                 Until the date on which the Company becomes a corporation reporting under Chapter E3 of the Israeli Securities Law, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for consideration per Ordinary Share less than the higher of the Conversion Price and the Exercise Price.

 

(c)                                  From the date hereof until the twenty four (24) month anniversary of the Second Closing Date or the Second Closing Termination Date (as the case may be), the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of ADSs, Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional ADSs or Ordinary Shares either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based

 

39



 

upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the Ordinary Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Ordinary Shares or ADSs or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price.   Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.  For avoidance of any doubt, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company from issuing ADSs, Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving fixed price features that may be subject to customary adjustments and modifications.

 

(d)                                 From the date hereof until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Third Closing Date or the Third Closing Termination Date (as the case may be), neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any ADSs, Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents that include any anti-dilution provision (other than in connection with share splits, combinations, dividends, distributions and other similar transactions).  From the date hereof until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Second Closing Date or the Second Closing  Termination Date (as the case may be), neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any ADSs, Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents for an effective price per share that is less than the Effective Per Ordinary Share Purchase Price (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock split, recapitalizations and similar transactions). Without derogating from the foregoing, during the period commencing on the first day after the thirtieth (30th) day following the date hereof and ending on the earlier of the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof or the date in which the ADS shall be listed for trade on the NASDAQ Stock Market or the Second Closing Termination Date (as the case may be), the Company shall not issue any Securities to third parties.

 

(e)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.13 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.

 

4.14                        Equal Treatment of Purchasers.  No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to such Transaction Documents.  For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

 

40


 

4.15        Company Acknowledgements on Certain Transactions.  Subject to the Purchaser’s compliance with the Purchaser Israeli Undertakings and the Israeli Lock-Up Restriction (to the extent applicable), the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company following the US Listing Date , (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the US Listing Date  and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of the Company to the Company or its Subsidiaries from and after the US Listing Date.

 

4.16        Form D; Blue Sky Filings.  The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

 

4.17        Per Ordinary Share Price Protection.  From the date hereof until the two (2) year anniversary of the First Closing Date, if the Company shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), Ordinary Shares, Ordinary Share Equivalents or ADSs in a Subsequent Financing with a consideration per share that is less than the Per Ordinary Share Purchase Price (or less than lowest Discounted Per Ordinary Share Purchase Price previously used pursuant to this Section 4.17) (such lesser price is referred to herein as the “Discounted Per Ordinary Share Purchase Price”) (the foregoing, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance (subject, however, to the provisions of Section 4.18), the Company shall issue to such Purchaser, without the payment of additional consideration, in connection with such Dilutive Issuance, a number of additional Ordinary Shares (“Dilution Shares”) equal to (a) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of (A) such Purchaser’s aggregate Subscription Amount for Shares then held by such Purchaser and (B) any Conversion Shares then held by such Purchaser multiplied by the Conversion Price by (ii) the applicable Discounted Per Ordinary Share Purchase Price less (b) the sum of (1) Shares issued at the Closings and then held by such Purchaser, (2) Conversion Shares then held by such Purchaser,  and (3) Dilution Shares previously issued pursuant to this Section 4.17 that relate back to the Shares and Conversion Shares subject to the Dilutive Issuance in question.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Debentures are exchanged for another security of the Company, such exchanged securities shall be subject to this Section 4.17 and in all places where Debenture or Conversion Shares are referenced such exchange securities and the Ordinary Share issuable thereunder shall be deemed Conversion Shares.

 

4.18        For purposes of clarity, the issuance of Dilution Shares is not conditioned upon, or determined in any way, by a Purchaser’s beneficial ownership of Shares at the time of the Dilutive Issuance.  In implementation of the foregoing, to the extent that an issuance of Dilution Shares would result in a Purchaser or any of its Attribution Parties beneficially owning in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation of the Ordinary Shares or would cause non-compliance with or violation of the 20% Voting Rights Limitation or the Purchaser Israeli Undertakings

 

41



 

(collectively: “Israeli Limitations”), then the Company shall initially issue only such number of Dilution Shares that would result in such Purchaser (together with such Purchaser’s Attribution Parties) holding up to the lower of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation  or Israeli Limitations of the Ordinary Shares, and, in lieu of Ordinary Shares the Company shall issue to such Purchaser a Debenture for such principal amount as would allow for the issuance of such Ordinary Shares subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and/or Israeli Limitations (or such other similar security acceptable to the Purchaser).  Such Purchaser shall make written representations and warranties to the Company regarding such Purchaser’s (together with its Attribution Parties) beneficial ownership to effectuate the foregoing.  The limitations contained in this paragraph and such limitation contained in Section 5(b) of the Debentures and Section 2(e) of the Warrants issued to such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be coordinated so that the aggregate beneficial ownership of such Purchaser (together with its Attribution Parties) does not exceed the lesser of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the Israeli Limitations.  In connection therewith, issuances pursuant to Section 4.17 shall take precedence over issuances of any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares issuable to such Purchaser. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation or Israeli Limitations herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Beneficial Ownership Limitation or Israeli Limitations. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to assignees of such Purchaser hereunder. For the purposes of Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained in this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  If ADSs, Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents are issued in a Dilutive Issuance for consideration other than cash, the per share price shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.  For the purposes of the consideration per share under this Section 4.17, the price per share for which one Ordinary Share is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Share Equivalents shall take into account the sum of the amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one Ordinary Share or ADS upon the issuance or sale of such Ordinary Share Equivalents and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Ordinary Share Equivalents.  The Company may not refuse to issue to a Purchaser the Dilution Shares hereunder based on any claim that such Purchaser or any one associated or affiliated with such Purchaser has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining an issuance hereunder shall have been sought and obtained.  On the date of closing of any transaction pursuant to which securities are issued for a Discounted Per Ordinary Share Purchase Price, the Company shall give each of the Purchasers written notice thereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein in this Section 4.17, this Section 4.17 (i) shall not apply to an Exempt Issuance and (ii) shall become effective only as of the date immediately following the date on which the Company becomes a corporation reporting under Chapter E3 of the Israeli Securities Law and the provisions of Section 4.17 shall apply at that time with the retroactive effect as if the date hereof. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the rights set forth in this Section 4.17 is a right granted by the Company, separately, to each Purchaser.  The Dilution Shares issued hereunder shall be deemed to be “Shares” for purposes of Section 4.1 hereunder

 

42



 

and shall be subject to delegending pursuant to Section 4.1, including, without limitation, Section 4.1(c) and Section 4.1(d).

 

4.19        Board Appointment Rights.  On the First Closing Date, the Company shall appoint two (2) directors selected by Alpha and on the Second Closing Date the Company shall appoint one (1) director selected by Alpha (such persons, collectively the “Board Appointees”) to the Board of Directors, who shall serve as directors in the Company at least until the end of the Company’s 2018 annual general meeting (unless determined otherwise by the general meeting of Company’s shareholders).  On the First Closing Date and the Second Closing Date, the Company shall provide Alpha with evidence of the appointment of the Board Appointees by a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors.  The rights granted in this section can be terminated at any time by Alpha, upon written notice to the Company.

 

4.20        [RESERVED]

 

4.21        Company Shareholders Meeting. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the First Closing and in any event with 45 days thereof, the Company shall convene and hold, in the manner set forth in the Israeli Companies Law, a shareholders meeting in order to obtain the Shareholder Approval.  The Company’s Board of Directors shall recommend that such proposal to be approved by shareholders, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal.  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain such Shareholder Approval. If the Company does not obtain Shareholder Approval at the first meeting, the Company shall call a meeting every 45 days thereafter to seek Shareholder Approval until the earlier of the date Shareholder Approval is obtained or the Second Closing Termination Date.

 

4.22        TASE Approval. The Company shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable laws and rules and policies of TASE to obtain the TASE Approval with respect to each of the First Closing, the Second Closing and the Third Closing.

 

4.23        TASE Delisting; NASDAQ Up-Listing. Following the Second Closing Date, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to (i) take the necessary steps to approve the Company Transition to Dual-Listing Reporting Format in accordance with the Israeli Securities Law in order to delist the Company’s Ordinary Shares from TASE and (ii) take the necessary steps to list its ADSs for trade on the NASDAQ Stock Market.  At the request of a Purchaser, the Company shall promptly convert any Ordinary Shares held by it into ADSs.

 

4.24        For as long as any Purchaser owns Securities and is a “Principal Shareholder” under the Israeli Securities Law, any such Purchaser covenants that it will provide the Company with the required information regarding such Purchaser’s holdings in the Securities in a timely manner in order for the Company to be able to meet its reporting requirements under the Israeli Securities Law to the extent applicable.

46



 

being understood that the 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.

 

5.12        Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

5.13        Rescission and Withdrawal Right.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that in the case of a rescission of a conversion of a Debenture or exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any Ordinary Shares subject to any such rescinded conversion or exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).

5.15        Remedies.  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.  The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

5.16        Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

5.17        Usury.  To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any Action or Proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate.  It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law.  If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.

 

5.18        Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.  Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.  For reasons of administrative convenience only, each

 

48



 

Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through EGS.  EGS does not represent all of the Purchasers but only represents Alpha.  The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers.  It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.

 

5.19        Liquidated Damages.  The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

 

5.20        Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

5.21        Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and number of Ordinary Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward share splits, share dividends, share combinations and other similar transactions of the Ordinary Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement.

 

5.22        WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
