3. Representations and
Warranties of Purchasers. Each Purchaser,
severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company
that:
3.1 Organization and
Qualification. If such Purchaser is an entity, such Purchaser
represents and warrants that it is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation,
with full power and authority to purchase the Shares.
3.2 Authorization;
Enforcement. If such Purchaser is an entity, such Purchaser
represents and warrants that this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by, and
duly executed and delivered on behalf of, such Purchaser. Each of the
Purchasers represents and warrants that this Agreement constitutes the valid and
binding agreement of such Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by: (i) applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws in
effect that limit creditors’ rights generally; (ii) equitable limitations on the
availability of specific remedies; and (iii) principles of equity.
3.3 Securities
Matters. In connection with the Company’s compliance with
applicable securities laws:
a. None of the Shares are registered under
the 1933 Act or any state securities laws. Such Purchaser understands
that the Shares are being offered and sold to him or it in reliance upon
specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States and
state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and
accuracy of, and such Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations,
warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set
forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemption and the
eligibility of Such Purchaser to acquire the Shares.
b. Such Purchaser has no agreement or
arrangement, formal or informal, with any person to sell or transfer all or any
part of the Shares, and such Purchaser has no plans to enter into any such
agreement or arrangement. Such Purchaser is purchasing the
Shares for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, for investment purposes
and not with a present view towards resale, except pursuant to sales exempted
from registration under the 1933 Act, or registered under the 1933
Act. There can be no
assurance that there will be any market for resale of the Shares, nor can there
be any assurance that such securities will be freely transferable at any time in
the foreseeable future.
A-2
c. Such
Purchaser is an “accredited Purchaser” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D under the 1933 Act, and has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of an investment in the Shares. Such Purchaser understands that
his or its investment in the Shares involves a significant degree of
risk. Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or
state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or
made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares.
3.4 Information. Such
Purchaser has conducted its own due diligence examination of the Company’s
business, financial condition, results of operations, and
prospects. In connection with such investigation, such Purchaser and
his or its representatives (i) have reviewed the Company’s regulatory and other
filings made by the Company with AIM or posted on the Company’s website pursuant
to the AIM Rules for Companies, governing admission to and the operation of AIM,
as published by the London Stock Exchange plc, including, without limitation,
the Company’s Admission Document, and (ii) have been given an opportunity to ask
questions, to the extent such Purchaser considered necessary, and have received
answers from, officers of the Company concerning the business, finances and
operations of the Company and information relating to the offer and sale of the
Shares. In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the
Company, such Purchaser has not relied upon any representation or information
(oral or written) other than as stated in this Agreement.
3.5 Restrictions on
Transfer. Such Purchaser understands that the issuance of
the Shares has not been and is not being registered under the 1933 Act or any
applicable state securities laws. Such Purchaser may be required to hold the
Shares indefinitely and the Shares may not be transferred unless (i) the Shares
are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, or
(ii) the Purchaser shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel to
the effect that the Shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred
pursuant to an exemption from such registration, which opinion shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Company. Such Purchaser understands that until such
time as the resale of the Shares has been registered under the 1933 Act or
otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration, certificates
evidencing the Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the
following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the
certificates evidencing such Shares):
“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY
STATE AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON EXEMPTIONS AFFORDED UNDER APPLICABLE
LAWS. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE
OFFERED, SOLD, HYPOTHECATED, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF
AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT AND
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION (AS TO WHICH THE
ISSUER SHALL BE REASONABLY SATISFIED, INCLUDING RECEIPT OF AN ACCEPTABLE LEGAL
OPINION) FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH LAWS.”
A-3
3.6 No General
Solicitation. Such Purchaser is unaware of, is in no way
relying on, and did not become aware of the offering of the Shares through or as
a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including,
without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication
published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over
television or radio, in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares and
is not subscribing for the Shares and did not become aware of the offering of
the Shares through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which such
Purchaser was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not
previously known to such Purchaser in connection with investments in securities
generally.
3.7 Commission. Such
Purchaser has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any person
for brokerage commissions, finders' fees or the like relating to this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby.
3.8 Additional
Information. Within five (5) days after receipt of a request
from the Company, such Purchaser will provide such information and deliver such
documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and
ordinances to which the Company is subject.
3.9 OFAC
Representation.
a. Such
Purchaser represents that the amounts invested by it in the Shares were not and
are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene federal,
state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering
laws and regulations. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by
the Officer of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) prohibit, among other
things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to,
certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The
lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be
found on the OFAC website at <xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxx>. In
addition, the programs administered by OFAC (the “OFAC Programs”) prohibit
dealing with individuals or entities in certain countries regardless of whether
such individuals or entities appear on the OFAC lists.
b. To
the best of such Purchaser’s knowledge, none of: (1) such Purchaser; (2) any
person controlling or controlled by such Purchaser; (3) if such Purchaser is a
privately-held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in such
Purchaser; or (4) any person for whom such Purchaser is acting as agent or
nominee in connection with this investment is a country, territory, individual
or entity named on an OFAC list, or a person or entity prohibited under the OFAC
Programs. Such Purchaser agrees to promptly notify the Company should
such Purchaser become aware of any change in the information set forth in these
representations. Such Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, by
law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of such Purchaser,
either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from such Purchaser, declining
any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in
compliance with governmental regulations. Such Purchaser further
acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to such Purchaser, suspend
the redemption rights, if any, of such Purchaser if the Company reasonably deems
it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations
applicable to the Company or any of the Company’s other service
providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals,
specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC
sanctions and embargo programs.
A-4
c. To
the best of such Purchaser’s knowledge, none of: (1) such Purchaser; (2) any

Purchaser; or (4) any person for whom such Purchaser is acting as agent or
nominee in connection with this investment is a senior official in the
executive, legislative, administrative, military or judicial branches of a
foreign government (whether elected or not), a senior official of a major
foreign political party, or a senior executive of a foreign government-owned
corporation, or any corporation, business or other entity that has been formed
by, or for the benefit of, a senior foreign political figure, or
any immediate family member or
close associate of a
senior foreign political figure. Such Purchaser is not affiliated
with a non-U.S. banking institution (a “Foreign Bank”), and does not
receive deposits from, make payments on behalf of, or handle other financial
transactions related to a Foreign Bank.

warrants to each Purchaser that:

(Israel) Limited (the “Subsidiary”) is a corporation
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and
authority to carry on its business as now conducted and to own its
properties. Each of the Company and the Subsidiary is duly qualified
to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of
property makes such qualification or leasing necessary unless the failure to so
qualify has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on (i) the assets, liabilities, results of operations, condition
(financial or otherwise), business, or prospects of the Company and the
Subsidiary taken as a whole, or (ii) the ability of the Company to perform its
obligations under this Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”).
The Company has no subsidiaries other than the Subsidiary.

Company has full power and authority and has taken all requisite
action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders
necessary for (i) the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement,

valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in

transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability,
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally; (ii) equitable limitations
on the availability of specific remedies; (iii) principles of equity (regardless
of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in law or in equity);
and (iv) to the extent rights to indemnification and contribution may be limited
by federal securities laws or the public policy underlying such
laws.
A-5

counsels.
