liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and
its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable U.S. federal, state,
local and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment
practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where
the failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
12
(l) Compliance.

Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates,
authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or
foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses
as described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such

(“Material
Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any
notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material
Permit.
(n) Title to
Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable
title in fee simple to all real property owned by them and good and marketable
title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of
the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all Liens,
except for (i) Liens created under license or collaboration agreements relating
to the Company’s products or Intellectual Property Rights, (ii)Liens as do not
materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere
with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and
the Subsidiaries and (iii) Liens for the payment of federal, state or other
taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor in accordance with
GAAP and the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to
penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the

Property. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to
use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications,
service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and
other intellectual property rights and similar rights necessary or material for
use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC
Reports and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect
(collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). None of, and neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that
any of, the Intellectual Property Rights has expired, terminated or been
abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2)

Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited financial
statements included within the SEC Reports, a written notice of a claim or
otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or
infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual
Property Rights are enforceable. The Company and its Subsidiaries have
taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and
value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so
would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(p) Insurance. The
Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent
and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are
engaged. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has been notified that it
will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such
coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be
necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have or reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

the year ended December 31, 2009 the conclusions of the certifying officers
about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their
evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there

a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s
certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its
state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a
result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or
exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without

securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval
provisions of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company
are listed or designated.

Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and
agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s
length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is

3.2 Representations and
Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no
other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of
the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date
therein):
(a) Organization;
Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing (where such concept is
recognized) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full
right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and
authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and
thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and
performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate,
partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the
part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party
has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser
in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally
binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with
its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as
limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive
relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and
contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
(b) No Conflicts.
The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of the Transaction
Documents and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby to which it is a party do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate
any provision of such Purchaser’s certificate or articles of incorporation,
bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or
constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both
would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of
the properties or assets of such Purchaser, or give to others any rights of
termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice,
lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other
instrument (evidencing a Purchaser debt or otherwise) or other understanding to
which such Purchaser is a party or by which any property or asset of such
Purchaser is bound or affected, or (iii) conflict with or result in a violation
of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other
restriction of any court or governmental authority to which such Purchaser is
subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by
which any property or asset of such Purchaser is bound or affected except in the
case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as would not reasonably be expected
to have a material adverse effect on such Purchaser’s ability to perform in any
material respect its obligations under any Transaction
Documents.
20
(c)
Own
Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are
“restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act,
the Israel Securities Law 1968, or any applicable state securities
law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not
with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part
thereof in violation of the Securities Act, the Israel Securities Law
1968, or any applicable state securities law, has no present
intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect
arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding
the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act, the
Israel Securities Law 1968, or any applicable state securities
law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to
sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in
compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such
Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its
business.
(d) Purchaser
Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it
was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on the Closing date and on each date
on which it exercises any Warrants, it will (i) be an “accredited investor” as
defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act, (ii) not be in Israel or an
Israeli citizen, corporation or resident, or controlled by an Israeli citizen,
corporation or resident, and (iii) not be related to any officer or director of
the Company. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a
broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.
(e) Experience of Such
Purchaser; Information. Such Purchaser, either alone or together
with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in
business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the
merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the
economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is
able to afford a complete loss of such investment. Such Purchaser and its
advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the
business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company, and
materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities, that have been
requested by such Purchaser or its advisors, if any. Such Purchaser
acknowledges and understands that its investment in the Securities involves a
significant degree of risk.
(f) General
Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a
result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding
the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or
broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other
general solicitation or general advertisement.

Transactions
and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions
contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor
has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such
Purchaser, executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the
securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such
Purchaser first became aware of the transactions contemplated hereunder and
ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle
whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s
assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment
decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such
Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with
respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the
investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement, such Purchaser has
maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with
this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein
shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with
respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available
shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the
future.
21
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in Section
3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the
Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any
representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction
Document.

Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge
pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or
grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial
institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required under the terms of such
arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the
pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be
subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the
pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection
therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At
the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such
reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may
reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities,
including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required
prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other
applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of
Selling Stockholders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
thereunder.
(c) Certificates
evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including
the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof), (i) while a registration
statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such
security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such
Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Shares or Warrant
Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the
Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under
Rule 144 as to such Shares and Warrant Shares and without volume or
manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iv) if such legend is not required under
applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission).
The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer
Agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to
effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of a
Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement
to cover the resale of the Warrant Shares, or if such Shares or Warrant Shares
may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the
current public information required under Rule 144, or if the Shares or Warrant
Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be
in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to
such Shares or Warrant Shares or if such legend is not otherwise required under
applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then
such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that
following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer
required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three Trading Days
following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Transfer Agent of a certificate
representing Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a
restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal
Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate
representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other
legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give
instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set
forth in this Section 4. Certificates for Securities subject to legend
removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by
crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust
Company System as directed by such Purchaser.
23
(d)
In addition to such Purchaser’s other
available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares or Warrant
Shares (based on the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares on the date such Securities are
submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend
and subject to Section 4.1(c), $5 per Trading Day (increasing to $10 per Trading
Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each
Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered
without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue
actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing
any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and such 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.
(e) Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the
Company that such Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable
prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if
Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in
compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges
that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing
Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s
reliance upon this understanding.
4.2 Furnishing of
Information;
Public Information.
(a) Until
the earliest of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) the
Warrants have expired, the Company covenants to use commercially reasonable
efforts to to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file
within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the
Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company
is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act.
24
(b) At
any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the
date hereof and ending at such time that all of the Securities may be sold
without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1)
and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the
Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information
requirement under Rule 144(c) (a “Public Information
Failure”) then, in addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies,
the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial 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 such Purchaser’s Securities on the day of a
Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day
(pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the
earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such
time that such public information is no longer required for the Purchasers
to transfer the Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The
payments to which a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2(b)
are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure
Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid
on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such
Public Information Failure Payments are incurred
and (ii) the third (3rd)
Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information
Failure Payments is
cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public Information
Failure Payments in
a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear
interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid
in full. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual
damages for the Public Information Failure, and such 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.
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 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 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on
the Trading Day immediately following the date hereof, issue a press release
disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. The
Company shall, within four Business Days following the date hereof, file a
Report on Form 6-K disclosing the material terms of the transactions
contemplated hereby, which Form 6-K shall include the Transaction Documents as
exhibits thereto. From and after the issuance of such press release, the Company
represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly disclosed all material,
non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees
or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in
issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby, and neither the Company nor any 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 any Purchaser, or without
the prior consent of each 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 any Purchaser, or include the name of any
Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading
Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except: (a) as
required by federal securities law in connection with (i) any registration
statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) the filing
of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto) with the
Commission and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading
Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with
prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause
(b).
25
4.5 Shareholder Rights
Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the
consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring
Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill
(including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover
plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any
Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or
arrangement, solely by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction
Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the
Purchasers.
4.6 Non-Public
Information. Except with respect to the material terms and
conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the
Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its
behalf, will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information
that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless
prior thereto such Purchaser shall have entered into a written agreement with
the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The
Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the
foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the
Company.
4.7 Use of
Proceeds. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7 attached
hereto, the Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities
hereunder for working capital purposes and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for
the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of
trade payables 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 or (d) in
violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.
26
4.8 Indemnification of
Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8,
the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers,
shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons
with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles
notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who
controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders,
agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a
functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a
lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a
“Purchaser
Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations,
claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments,
amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur due to
a claim by a third party as a result of or relating to any action instituted
against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their
respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate
of such Purchaser Parties, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such
Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction
Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Parties may have
with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Parties of state
or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Parties which
constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance).
If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall
promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to
assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably
acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the
right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment
thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the
Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and
to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of
counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the
Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company
shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one
such separate counsel for all Purchaser Parties entitled to indemnification
hereunder. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under
this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the
Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage
or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser
Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The
indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of
action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company and any
liabilities that the Company may be subject to pursuant to law. The
Company will have the exclusive right to settle any claim or proceeding,
provided that the Company will not settle any such claim, action or proceeding
without the prior written consent of the Purchaser Party, which will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that such consent shall not
be required if the settlement includes a full and unconditional release
satisfactory to the Purchaser Party from all liability arising or that may arise
out of such claim or proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an
admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any
Purchaser Party.
4.9 Reservation of Ordinary Shares. As
of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to
reserve and keep available at all times, 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.
4.10 Listing of Ordinary Shares. The
Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the
listing or quotation of the Ordinary Shares on the Trading Market on which
it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall
apply to list or quote all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading
Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares and Warrant Shares
on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to
have the Ordinary Shares traded on any other Trading Market, it will then
include in such application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take
such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and Warrant Shares
to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as
possible. The Company will then 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.
27
4.11 Subsequent Equity
Sales.
(a) From
the date hereof until thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or
announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary
Shares Equivalents.
(b) From
the date hereof until 12 months following the date hereof, the Company shall be
prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares
Equivalents for cash consideration (or a combination of units thereof) involving
a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate
Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells
any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or
exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional Ordinary Shares
either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price
that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for
the Ordinary Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or
equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is
subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such
debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events
directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for
the Ordinary Shares or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not
limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at
a future determined price. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain
injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which
remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.11 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt
Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt
Issuance.
4.12 Equal Treatment of
Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any
Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent
to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents
unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the
Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision
constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and
negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to
treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the
Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase,
disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
28
4.13 Certain
Transactions
and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the
other Purchasers, covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its
behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or
sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the
period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time
that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly
announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section
4.4. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers,
covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press
release as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser will maintain the
confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the
information included in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure
Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges
and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant
hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of
the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described
in Section 4.4, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from
effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with
applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the
initial press release as described in Section 4.4 and (iii) no Purchaser shall
have any duty of confidentiality to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the
issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.4.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a
multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage
separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no
direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers
managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above
shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio
manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by
this Agreement.
4.14 Form D; Blue Sky
Filings. The Company agrees to timely file 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.
4.15 Capital
Changes. Until the one year anniversary of the Effective Date, the
Company shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification
of the Ordinary Shares without the prior written consent of the Purchasers
holding a majority in interest of the Shares; provided, however, that this
Section 4.15 shall not apply solely in connection with any reverse stock
split conducted to meet or maintain compliance with the listing standards of any
Trading Market.
4.16 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 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 any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance
may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the
Company.

Purchasers) or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement
of any such waived provision is sought. No waiver of any default with
respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent
default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor
shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any
manner impair the exercise of any such right.

5.6 Headings. The

Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.
5.7 Successors and

benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The
Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other than by merger,

5.9 Governing Law.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed
and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York,
without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party
agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement
and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other
Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective
affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or
agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting
in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York,
Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in
connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed
herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction
Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper
or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby
irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via
registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery)
to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement
and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of
process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to

31
5.11 Execution. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken
together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each
other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same
counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature
shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose
behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such
facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
5.12 Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable,
the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth
herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected,
impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same
or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the
intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.13 Rescission and Withdrawal
Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and
without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction
Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option
under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related
obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind
or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the
Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without
prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that in the
case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall
be required to return any Ordinary Shares subject to any such rescinded exercise
notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise
price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such
Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant
(including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such
restored right).
5.14 Replacement of
Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any
Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or
cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a
new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The
applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall
also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity)
associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.15 Remedies. In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by
law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will
be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The
parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any
loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the
Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action
for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law
would be adequate.
32
5.16 Payment Set
Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments
to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or
exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of
such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged
by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company,
a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without
limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable
cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or
part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued
in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.17 Independent Nature of
Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall 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 any Purchaser pursuant
hereof or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or
create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as
a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. Each 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. Each Purchaser has been
represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of
the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only,
each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the
Company through WS. WS does not represent any of the Purchasers and only
represents Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLC. The Company has elected to
provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the
convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so
by any of the Purchasers.
5.18 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.
5.19 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 Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised
on the next succeeding Business Day.
33
5.20 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, the
normal 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 be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits,
stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the
Ordinary Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement.
5.21 WAIVER OF
JURY TRIAL. IN ANY
ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY
OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY,
IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
