WHEREAS, the parties wish to enter into this Amendment in order to effect the foregoing arrangement, whereby (i) the Warrant will not expire upon the occurrence of the Leap Merger, (ii) the Warrant, to the extent it is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will become exercisable for the number of Acquirer Warrant Shares set forth next to the name of the Holder on Appendix I hereto, and (iii) the Acquirer will assume all of the Company’s rights and obligations under the Warrant; and
WHEREAS, the parties also seek to amend certain other provisions of the Warrant, as described herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein made, the parties hereby agree as follows:

2. Immediately prior to the consummation of the Leap Merger, the reference in the Warrant to M&A Event shall be amended by the addition of the following sentence: “Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the merger contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 29, 2016, by and among Leap Therapeutics, Inc., a company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Acquirer”), M-Co. Merger Sub,
Ltd., a company formed under the laws of the State of Israel and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Acquirer (“Merger Sub”), and the Company, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Acquirer, shall not be deemed an M&A Event hereunder.”
3. For good and valuable consideration (consisting of the rights and obligations of the parties set forth in the Leap Merger Agreement), upon and subject to consummation of the Leap Merger, the Company hereby assigns to Acquirer, and the Acquirer hereby assumes from the Company, all of the Company’s rights and obligations under the Warrant.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned, this Warrant shall be deemed exercised in full by the Holder immediately prior to, and conditioned upon the closing of, an M&A Event, without the need to provide any notice of exercise to the Company, in the manner set forth in Section 2.2 below.
For the purposes of this Section 2.1, beginning upon consummation of the Leap Merger, “M&A Event” shall mean any of the following (i) an acquisition, merger or consolidation of the Acquirer as a result of which the stockholders of the Acquirer immediately prior to the consummation of such M&A Event do not own a majority of the shares of the surviving entity immediately after the consummation of such M&A Event, (ii) a sale, by the Acquirer,
of all or substantially all of the assets, or all or substantially all of the issued and outstanding shares held by stockholders, of the Acquirer, or (iii) the transfer of, the grant of an exclusive, perpetual, worldwide license to exploit without restriction, or any other form or mechanism having the effect of disposing of, all or substantially all of, the Acquirer’s intellectual property out of the ordinary course of business, other than such transfer to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Acquirer or any of its affiliates or for a change of domicile.”
8. Section 8.2 of the Warrant shall be replaced in its entirety with the following:
“This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any rights of a stockholder of the Acquirer, including, without limitation, any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Acquirer whatsoever with respect to Acquirer Warrant Shares for which no exercise of this Warrant has occurred. Without derogating from the generality of the foregoing, no dividend or interest shall be payable or accrue in respect of this Warrant.”
9. Survival of Provisions. Except as expressly amended and modified hereby, all other provisions set forth in the Warrant shall remain in full force and effect.
10. Miscellaneous. The Warrant, as amended by this Amendment, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements relating to the subject matter hereof.
11. Binding on Successors. This Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives of the parties hereto.
12. Counterparts. This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement. A signed Amendment received by a party hereto via facsimile or email will be deemed an original, and binding upon the party who signed it.
