(e) In addition, the Shares and the Warrant Shares are subject to certain lock-up restrictions as specified under Section 15C of the Securities Law and the regulations promulgated under such Section, and each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell any Securities only in accordance with the requirements set forth therein.
4.2 Registration Rights.
(a) American Depository Receipts. On or before the seven-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company agrees to have in place a Level II American Depositary Receipts facility (“ADR” and "ADR Facility", respectively) on NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The Purchaser shall have the right to have the Shares (or any portion of them) and, once issued upon exercise of the Warrants, the Warrant Shares (or any portion of them) be converted into American Depositary Shares, at the Company’s expense, immediately following the completion of the implementation of the ADR Facility. At least 30 days prior to the formation of the ADR Facility, the Company will notify the Purchaser of its rights to have his Shares and Warrant Shares (if converted) be registered under the ADR Facility, and shall register such Shares and Warrant Shares under the ADR Facility at the election of the Purchaser. Implementation of ADR Facility shall be deemed completed when the Company’s Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to ADSs of the Company is declared effective by the Commission. The Company covenants to make reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the registration of the Ordinary Shares through such ADR Facility, or to register and maintain an Alternative US Registration, in each case, until the later of (i) the third anniversary following effectiveness thereof, and (ii) the six-month anniversary of the exercise of the last of the Warrants (provided that any Warrants that expire prior to exercise shall, for purposes of this sentence, be deemed to have been exercised six months prior to expiration). The Purchaser agrees that, in the sole discretion of the Company and any other shareholders of the Company, additional shares of the Company which have been issued to shareholders, or which may be issued to shareholders in the future, may be converted into American Depositary Shares, as part of the completion of the implementation of the ADR Facility, or at any time thereafter. As used herein, an Alternative US Registration shall mean a registration of the Ordinary Shares (including the Shares and Warrant Shares) with effect for the benefit of the Purchaser at least as beneficial as provided under the ADR Facility.
14
(b) Release of Israeli Lock-Up Restrictions. If the Company is unable to establish the ADR Facility within a (seven) 7 month period from the Closing Date, the Company shall take all necessary actions, in order to permit resale by the Purchaser of no less than 100% of the Purchased Shares and 100% of the Warrant Shares (once issued upon exercise of the Warrants) on the TASE by release of the Israeli lock-up restrictions from the Shares and Warrant Shares by publishing an underwritten non-uniform offering prospectus or an underwritten shelf offering report (the "Listing Prospectus") with the Israeli Securities Authority and the TASE (the "Non-Uniform Offering"). The Company undertakes that (A) such Non-Uniform Offering shall be completed within seven (7) months from the Closing Date and shall be in full compliance with any and all Israeli Securities Laws requirements, including insuring that such Non-Uniform Offering is underwritten, (b) that the underwriter in such offering (the "Pricing Underwriter") participated in the determination of the Per Share Purchase Price under this Agreement, in accordance with an agreement with such underwriter attached as Schedule 4.2(b) to this Agreement, and (C) that the Pricing Underwriter complies with all requirements and limitations under Israeli Securities Laws (including and in particular any and all requirements and limitations pertaining to conflict of interest of an underwriter in a non-uniform offering). The above notwithstanding, and with no further obligation by the Company to the Purchaser, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the establishment of the ADR Facility even after such seven (7) month period has expired and the publishing of the Listing Prospectus and in such case, the Purchasers shall have the right to convert their Shares and Warrant Shares, once exercised, to ADSs of the Company under the ADR Facility.
(c) It is agreed and acknowledged by the Purchaser, that the Listing Prospectus will release the Israeli lock up restrictions on the Shares and the Warrant Shares, only for the Purchaser so long as it is (A) an Institutional Investor (as defined above) at the time of this Agreement, at the time of the Closing and at the time such Listing Prospectus is published, and (B) only for the Purchaser (and not to any transferees of such Purchaser). It is further agreed and acknowledged by the Purchaser that the Listing Prospectus, or other TASE prospectus or offering report similar thereto, may be used to facilitate a release of Israeli lockup restrictions on any shares and warrants sold pursuant to the Israeli Institutional Investors Transaction and/or the Capital Transaction and/or US Investors Transaction; provided, however, that if the Listing Prospectus is utilized to release any lock-up provisions other than the Purchaser's lock-up provisions, Purchaser's rights as provided under this Agreement shall not be adversely affected from such joinder.
15
(d) If following the seven (7) month anniversary of the Closing Date(i) a Registration Statement registering for resale by the Purchaser all of the ADRs representing the Shares and Warrant Shares (or registering for resale all of the Shares and Warrant Shares directly) is not declared effective by the Commission, and (ii) all lock-up restrictions on the trading of the Shares and Warrant Shares in Israel were not removed in a Non-Uniform Offering (the existence of both (i) and (ii) above, shall be referred herein as a "Registration Failure"), then, in addition to the Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount of Securities still held by the Purchaser and still subject to any lock up period under the Israeli Securities Laws (which lock-up period would otherwise be released by the Company taking such actions as set forth above) on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Registration Failure, until the date such Registration Failure is cured. The payments to which the Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2(d) are referred to herein as “Registration Failure Payments.” In no event shall Registration Failure Payments be payable by the Company in respect of more than twelve (12) thirty (30)-day periods. Registration Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Registration Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Registration Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 4.2(d), nothing herein shall limit the Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Registration Failure, and the Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The Parties agree that the Registration Failure Payments were considered by them and were agreed as foreseeable and reasonable estimation of the damages incurred by the Purchaser for the failure by the Company to register the Shares and Warrant Shares as ADR or to remove the restrictions on such Shares and Warrant Shares in a Non-Uniform Offering, as required under this Section 4.2. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, if the Purchaser delays providing customary information, or takes other actions that directly causes the Company to make a Registration Failure, then the Company can exclude the Purchaser’s shares from the Registration Statement and/or Listing Prospectus without liability to such Purchaser. In addition, the Company’s obligations hereunder to a Purchaser (and the determination of whether a Registration Failure has occurred) shall be conditioned on the Purchasers’ timely provision in all material respects of information reasonably requested by the Company in connection with any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or the Israeli Securities Authority, and no Registration Failure Payments to a Purchaser shall be incurred in the event of unreasonable delay caused by the Purchaser’s failure to respond to the Company’s information requests or requests for customary representations; provided, however, that the obligations of the Company towards any Purchaser under this Section 4(2) (including the obligation to pay Registration Failure Payments) that has complied with the above, shall not be prejudiced in any way due to a non-compliance of any other purchaser (participating in the Israeli Institutional Investors Transaction and/or the US Investors Transaction and/or Capital Transaction) with such provisions.
16
4.3 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities by the Company hereunder or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
4.4 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall by the earlier of (i) 9:30 a.m. (Israeli time) on the Trading Day immediately following the date hereof, or (ii) as otherwise required under the Israeli Securities Laws, (a) issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) file an Immediate Report to the TASE and the ISA disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and all other disclosures pertaining to this Agreement as required by Israeli Securities Laws. In addition when required under the Israeli Securities Laws, but no later than 3 Trading Days following the report filed as per sub-Section (b) above, file immediate report with respect to an exceptional private offering, a material private offering and/or a private offering, all in accordance with Israeli Securities Laws, including a notice of a shareholders' meeting and the intention of the Company to release the Shares and the Warrant Shares from any lock-up restrictions in a non-uniform offering. The Company and the Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of the Purchaser, or without the prior consent of the Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Purchaser, or include the name of the Purchaser in any filing required under the Israeli Securities Laws, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except: (a) as required by federal securities law, including in connection with any Registration Statement contemplated hereby and/or the ADR Facility, and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, including the Israeli Securities Laws and/or the Companies Law (including for avoidance of doubt the provisions set forth in Section 185 of the Companies Law and any subsequent public disclosures the Company have to make as a result of this section), or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchaser with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).
17
4.5 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Company also may use a portion of the net proceeds, currently intended for general corporate purposes, to acquire or invest in technologies, products, services or companies that complement its business, although the Company has no present plans or commitments and is not currently engaged in any material negotiations with respect to these types of transactions. Pending these uses, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities, or as otherwise pursuant to the Company’s customary investment policies. The Company shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables or the Company’s bank overdrafts in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), (b) for the redemption of any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation as of the date hereof or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.
4.6 Reservation of Ordinary Shares. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available until exercise or expiration of the Warrant, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of Ordinary Shares for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.
4.7 Listing of Ordinary Shares. The Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain as long as any Warrant is outstanding (and for a period of 6 months thereafter), the listing or quotation of the Ordinary Shares on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed. The Company will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing or quotation and trading of its Ordinary Shares on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. Following the formation of the ADR Facility, and for as long as any Warrant is outstanding (and for a period of 6 months thereafter), the Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Ordinary Shares 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.
4.8 Form D; Blue Sky Filings. To the extent applicable, the Company agrees to timely file, but in any event no earlier than the filings of the first report required to be filed by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.4 above, 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.
18
4.9 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, subject to the receipt of the Required Approvals, its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Shares and Warrant 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 the Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other shareholders of the Company.
4.10 Israeli Institutional Investors; US Investors; Capital . For avoidance of doubt it is clarified that it is agreed and understood by the Purchaser that any possible or contemplated parallel investment in the Company by either of (i) any Israeli Institutional Investors, as such are defined in the first Annex to the Securities Law (an “Israeli Institutional Investors Transaction”), and/or (i) Capital Point Ltd., an Israeli corporation (“Capital” and the “Capital Transaction” and/or (ii) certain accredited investors (as defined under federal securities laws) in the USA (the “US Investors Transaction”), is not a condition precedent to effect the Closing, and the Closing shall take place upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the Closing as set forth in this Agreement, irrespective of any failure by the Company to negotiate, complete the execution of, or closing thereunder, any investment agreement with any Israeli Institutional Investors and/or Capital and/or the US Investors Transaction; whether such failure is due to the Company, any Israeli Institutional Investor, Capital, or any investor participating in the US Investors Transaction, or caused by failure to achieve any required shareholder or other required corporate approvals to any such possible investment agreement between Capital and the Company and/or Israeli Institutional Investors and the Company and/or the investors in the US Investors Transaction and the Company.
Without prejudice to the provisions of this Section 4.11 above, and notwithstanding anything else set forth herein this agreement, at the sole discretion of the Company , without any obligations hereunder to the Purchaser, the Company may in tandem to entering into this Agreement, also enter into an investment agreements with any Israeli Institutional Investors and/or certain accredited investors (as defined under federal securities laws) in the USA for the acquisition of additional Securities of the Company on terms that are substantially similar to those set forth herein (subject to the receipt of any other corporate approvals necessary for the closing of such separate and independent investment agreements); provided, however, that the price per Ordinary Share, the number of warrants per each Ordinary Share purchased under such agreements, and the exercise price for such warrants shall be equal to the ones specified in this Agreement, and provided, further, that such additional investors may be entitled to all benefits and/or privileges accorded to the Purchaser but shall not receive any benefits and/or privileges and/or rights not received by the Purchaser.

5.16 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of the Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other purchaser in any other parallel transaction being contemplated thereto, and the Purchaser shall not 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 the Purchaser pursuant hereof or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchaser together with the purchasers under any parallel investments in the Company, as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchaser is in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The 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. The Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.
5.17 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.
5.18 Fridays, 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 Trading Day or Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day or Business Day, as applicable.
5.19 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, any 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 Ordinary Shares in any Transaction Document shall, in accordance with applicable Trading Market regulations, 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.
