10. Conversion of Convertible Note.
10.1 Mechanics of Conversion.
(a) Provided the Purchaser has notified the Company of the Purchaser’s intention to sell the Note Shares and the Note Shares are included in an effective registration statement or are otherwise exempt from registration when sold: (i) upon the conversion of the Note or part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action (including the issuance of an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser following a request by the Purchaser) to assure that the Company’s transfer agent shall issue the Company’s Ordinary Shares in the name of the Purchaser (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by the Purchaser in accordance with Section 10.1(b) hereof and in such denominations to be specified representing the number of Note Shares issuable upon such conversion; and (ii) the Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company’s Ordinary Shares and that after the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) the Note Shares issued will be freely transferable subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the provisions of this Agreement, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Note Shares. |
23
(b) Purchaser will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert the Note or part thereof by telecopying or otherwise delivering an executed and completed notice including a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount and accrued interest being converted (the “Notice of Conversion”) all as more fully provided in the Note. The Purchaser will not be required to surrender the Note until the Purchaser receives a credit to the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker through the DWAC system (as defined below), representing the Note Shares or until the Note has been fully satisfied. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied or delivered to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a “Conversion Date.” Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Borrower will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel within one (1) business day of the date of the delivery to Borrower of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within three (3) business days after receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Date”) |
(c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Note Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 10 hereof beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Purchaser. In the event that the Company fails to direct its transfer agent to deliver the Note Shares to the Purchaser via the DWAC system within the time frame set forth in Section 10.1(b) above and the Note Shares are not delivered to the Purchaser by the Delivery Date, as compensation to the Purchaser for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Purchaser for late issuance of the Note Shares in the form required pursuant to Section hereof upon conversion of the Note in the amount equal to the greater of: (i) $500 per business day after the Delivery Date; or (ii) the Purchaser’s actual damages from such delayed delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not owe the Purchaser any late payments if the delay in the delivery of the Note Shares beyond the Delivery Date is solely out of the control of the Company and the Company is actively trying to cure the cause of the delay. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand and, in the case of actual damages, accompanied by reasonable documentation of the amount of such damages. Such documentation shall show the number of Ordinary Shares the Purchaser is forced to purchase (in an open market transaction) which the Purchaser anticipated receiving upon such conversion, and shall be calculated as the amount by which (A) the Purchaser’s total purchase price (including customary brokerage commissions, if any) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the Note, for which such Conversion Notice was not timely honored. |
24
10.2 Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum amount permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Purchaser and thus refunded to the Company.

(h) | any event or series of events occur(s), which, in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser, may have a material adverse effect on the business, condition (financial or otherwise), or results of operations of the Pledgor or on the ability of the Pledgor to comply with any of its material obligations hereunder or under the Purchase Agreement, provided that Purchaser gives the Pledgor a written notice for declaring a Default Event under this subclause (h), and further provided that the Pledgor shall be entitled to provide a written response to the Purchaser within fourteen (14) days, it being agreed however, that nothing herein nor the Pledgor’s written response shall limit or delay the Purchaser’s right, in its discretion, to declare a Default Event hereunder and exercise the remedies available to the Purchaser hereunder, immediately after Pledgor’s written response. |
7. | Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Purchaser may declare all Obligations immediately due and payable and the Purchaser shall have the remedies of a secured party provided in this Agreement and under any applicable law.

4
8. | If the Pledgor defaults in the performance or fulfillment of any of the terms, conditions, promises, covenants, provisions or warranties to be performed or fulfilled under or pursuant to this Security Agreement, the Purchaser may, at its option without waiving its right to enforce this Security Agreement according to its terms, immediately or at any time thereafter but subject to notice to the Pledgor, perform or fulfill the same or cause the performance or fulfillment of the same for Pledgor’s account and at Pledgor’s cost and expense, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall be added to the Obligations and shall be payable on demand with interest thereon at the highest rate permitted by law. |
9. | No delay or failure on the Purchaser’s part in exercising any right, privilege or option hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such or of any other right, privilege, remedy or option, and no waiver whatever shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the Purchaser and then only to the extent therein set forth, and no waiver by the Purchaser of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion. The Purchaser’s books and records containing entries with respect to the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and unless Pledgor presents records or other evidence to the contrary, shall be binding upon the Pledgor for the purpose of establishing the items therein set forth and shall constitute prima facie proof thereof. The Purchaser shall have the right to enforce any one or more of the remedies available to the Purchaser, successively, alternately or concurrently. |
10. | The Pledgor shall cooperate with the Purchaser and execute all documents as may be reasonably necessary to register the Pledged Shares and the Pledgor Collateral with the Israeli Registrar of Companies and/or any other Registrar, including, inter alia, the document(s) in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C hereto, and shall bear all stamp taxes with respect to such registrations. The Pledgor undertakes to register such registrations with the Israeli Registrar of Companies within 3 business days in Israel. The Pledgor shall pay upon demand, all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, of enforcing the Purchaser’s rights and remedies hereunder in the event of a breach by the Pledgor as well as with respect to expenses resulting from exercising the pledge of any of the Pledged Shares, and/or the Pledgor Collateral. |
11. | This Security Agreement shall terminate upon full payment of all the Obligations, including the Note, and the Purchaser undertakes to promptly sign any and all forms required in order to remove any and all security interests granted by Pledgor hereunder. |
12. | This Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel and cannot be terminated orally. Notwithstanding the above, if legally possible, the Purchaser will be entitled to initiate any legal action according to the terms of this Agreement and elect to realize any or all of the Pledged Shares and/or the Pledgor Collateral, pursuant to the laws of the State of New York. In such event the competent courts of New York will have the exclusive jurisdiction and this Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed with the laws of the State of New York. |
