1.1 Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions described in this Agreement, at the Closing (as defined below), the Company agrees to sell to the Investor, and the Investor agrees to purchase from the Company, such number of Shares at a purchase price per Share equal to the higher of (a) $2.40 or (b) 10% above the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the date of the Closing (the “PPS”), against the payment to the Company of a total of $300,000 (the “Purchase Amount”).
1.2 Effective as of the Closing, the Investor and the Company hereby agree that the Loan Agreement dated as of June 2009 by and between the Company and the Investor (the “Loan Agreement”) shall be deemed amended as follows: the Lender’s right to convert provided under section 2.4 of the Loan Agreement is hereby modified such that, if the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares twenty (20) trading days immediately prior the Maturity Date is equal to or greater than $4.00 per Share, then the principle and Interest on the Loan (subject to applicable withholding tax with respect to the Interest), shall be automatically converted into Ordinary Shares of the Company on the Maturity Date, at the conversion price stated in section 2.4 of the Loan Agreement (i.e. $3.25 post reverse split).

(b) In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering, and the managing underwriter advises the Company that the inclusion of any or all of the Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such registration could interfere with the successful marketing (including pricing) of the offering, then the size of the offering shall be reduced accordingly with any reduction applied first to the Registrable Securities proposed to be registered and thereafter to securities of other shareholders proposed to be registered; and
(c) The Company may withdraw any registration statement referred to in this Section 1.4 without thereby incurring any liability to the Investor.
The Company shall be responsible for all expenses relating to the Company’s compliance with Section 1.4 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees of the NASD, fees of transfer agents and registrars.
