The above notwithstanding, and with no further obligation by the Company to any 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 Purchasers, that the Listing Prospectus will release the Israeli lock up restrictions on the Shares and the Warrant Shares, only for Purchasers that are (A) Institutional Investors (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 Purchasers which are party to this Agreement (and not to any transferees of such Purchaser). It is further agreed and acknowledged by the Purchasers 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 US Investors Transaction and/or the Orbimed 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.
23
(d) If following the seven (7) month anniversary of the Closing Date (i) a Registration Statement registering for resale by the Purchasers 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 such 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 such Purchaser’s shares from the Registration Statement without liability to the Purchaser. In addition, the Company’s obligations hereunder to the 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 such 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 with such provisions.
24
4.3 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 any 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 Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b). The Company acknowledges that the Purchaser is a publicly traded company listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange which is subject to strict reporting requirements, inter alia, relating to the Company and the parties hereto shall coordinate any public TASE disclosures to the extent possible.
4.4 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 the Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto the 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 the Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. In no event shall the Company be liable to the Purchaser for the failure to disclose information due to the operation of this provision; provided, however, that if the Company is withholding or not fully disclosing any information due to any legal requirement, it shall have informed the Purchaser of such fact; and further provided however that disclosures to be made by the Company as required pursuant to that which is set forth in Section 3.1(i) above, shall only be made after the Purchaser has entered into a standard and reasonable written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information.
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.
25
4.6 Indemnification of Purchaser.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.7, the Company will indemnify and hold the 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 in the Israeli Securities Law ), 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 as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate or transferee of any Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of a Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Parties may have with any such shareholder or any violations by Purchaser Parties of any applicable securities laws or any conduct by Purchaser Parties which constitutes fraud, negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance, in each such case, only to the extent Company or any person on its behalf did not contribute to such breach, violation, negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance or if Company's actions constitute fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance) (the "Indemnifiable Losses"). 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. 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 exclusively (and without contribution of the Company) to any Purchaser Party’s negligence or intentional misconduct or 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 indemnification required by this Section 4.7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred, provided that all such amounts shall be refunded to the Company in the event that it is ultimately determined by competent courts that the receiving party was not entitled to indemnification hereunder. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
26
4.7 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.
4.8 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.
4.9 Subsequent Equity Sales.
(a) Subject to all applicable laws, including the Israeli Securities Laws, from the date hereof until the one-year anniversary after the earlier of (A) the registration of the Shares and, if applicable, the Warrant Shares, under the ADR Facility, or (B) the removal of any Israeli Lock-Up restrictions in a Non-Uniform Offering (each as described in Section 4.2), or (C) the removal of any Israeli Lock-Up restrictions in accordance with the provisions of Section 15C of the Securities Law and the regulations promulgated under such Section, 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 (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 is obligated to issue securities at a future determined price, provided that the presence of customary anti-dilution protections shall not, in itself, deem a transaction a Variable Rate Transaction. Subject to such right not being transferable, 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.
27
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.9 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance.
4.10 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. The Purchaser covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any transactions, including Short Sales, in any of the Company’s securities, or derivative securities thereof, during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending 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. The Purchaser covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial immediate reports and 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) the Purchaser makes no 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 immediate reports and press release as described in Section 4.4, (ii) the Purchaser shall not 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) without derogating from subsections (i) and (ii), the Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to the matters disclosed publicly by the Company after the issuance of the initial immediate reports and press release as described in Section 4.4.
4.11 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.
4.12 Israeli Institutional Investors; US Investors; Orbimed. Subject to the provision of section2.3(a)(iv) above, and without derogating therefrom, 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 (ii) OrbiMed Israel Partners, Limited Partnership, or any of its Affiliates ("Orbimed" and “Orbimed Transaction respectively) and/or (iii) 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 other investors in excess of the Minimum Amount; whether such failure is due to the Company or any investor or caused by failure to achieve any required shareholder or other required corporate approvals to any such possible investment agreements.
28
Without prejudice to the provisions of this Section 4.12 above, and notwithstanding anything else set forth herein this agreement, at the sole discretion of the Company and Orbimed and/or the Company and any Israeli Institutional Investors and/or the Company and any US accredited investors, 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 of Orbimed and/or Israeli Institutional Investors and/or US accredited investors 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.

5.11 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.

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 (after giving effect to any cure period) 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 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.
31
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.
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 hereto, 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 with respect to such transactions. 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 other parallel investments in the Company as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that such 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. 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.

Warrant Shares: _____________ |
Initial Exercise Date: , 2014
|
THIS ORDINARY SHARES PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the third annual anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Medigus Ltd., an Israeli corporation (the “Company”), up to Ordinary Shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”). The purchase price of one Ordinary Share under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated June , 2014, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.
42
Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto and within three (3) Business Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or, if available, pursuant to the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. The Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company when it delivers the Notice of Exercise, and in the event of a partial exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant for the unexercised portion of the Warrant, but in all other respects identical to this Warrant. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
The Warrant may be exercised at any time before the Termination Date, provided that the Warrants may not be exercised on the record date (as such term is defined in the TASE rules and regulations) of: (i) a distribution of bonus shares; (ii) a rights offer; (iii) any distribution of dividends; (iv) a consolidation of the share capital of the Company; (v) a share split; or (vi) a reduction of the share capital of the Company (each of the aforementioned events shall be called: "Corporate Event"). In addition, if the ex-date (as such term is defined in the TASE rules and regulations) of a Corporate Event occurs before the record date of a Corporate Event, then the Warrants shall not be exercised on the ex-date.
b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Ordinary Share under this Warrant shall be 0.627 NIS, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
c) Cashless Exercise. If at any time after the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Shares held by the Holders are still not released via a Restriction Termination, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which, subject to receipt of TASE approval with respect thereto, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) =
|
the closing price of the Ordinary Share in the Trading Market on theTrading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;
|
43
(B) =
|
the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
|
(X) =
|
the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
|
The Company shall make reasonable commercial efforts to either (A) allocate a portion of the Subscription Amount paid by the initial Holder hereof pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and/or (B) make other adjustments to the equity component of the Company’s balance sheet, to the effect that the “cashless exercise” of this Warrant may be facilitated in accordance with the Companies Law and Israeli Securities Laws. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if such “cashless exercise” is not permitted or approved as set forth above, or (ii) if the Restriction Termination has been removed at the time this Warrant is exercised, or (iii) this Warrant is exercised within six-months of the Closing Date, the Holder shall have no rights under this paragraph c) to cashless exercise, and the Warrant shall only be exercisable by payment of the Exercise Price in cash. For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date hereof, it is intended that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
d) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. Warrant Shares shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A to this Warrant (the "Exercise Notice"). In addition, the Holder hereby agrees to sign any and all documents required by law. As soon as practicable upon receipt of the Exercise Notice and the payment of the Exercise Price (or the Cashless Exercise Price, as applicable) in accordance with the terms set forth herein, and in no event later than one (1) Israeli Business Day thereafter, the Company shall (i) issue to the Registration Company a duly executed share certificate for the number of Warrant Shares purchased and any other documents required by the Registration Company and TASE for the exercise the Warrant to the Warrants Shares (such date, the “Submission Date”). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by payment of the Cashless Exercise Price, if so permitted). If the Company fails for any reason, to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise within 2 business days from the Submission Date (the "Warrant Share Delivery Date") , the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the closing price of the Ordinary Share in the Trading Market on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the tenth (10th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise.
44
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to deliver the Warrant Shares to Holder's securities account in Israel pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver the Warrant Shares to the Holder pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder . For example, if the Holder purchases Ordinary Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Ordinary Shares of with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
45
v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. The number of Warrant Shares shall be rounded (up or down) to the nearest whole number, however the aggregate number of Warrant Shares shall not exceed the maximum quantity otherwise set forth in this Warrant notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d). Notwithstanding the above, and provided that the Company has completed the ADR Facility, any rounding as a result of fractional amounts shall be with respect to ADSs and not Ordinary Shares..
vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be deposited in the Holder's designated account.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Share Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Ordinary Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Ordinary Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Ordinary Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse share split) outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of Ordinary Shares any share capital of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
46
b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Ordinary Shares Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Exercise Price of the Warrant shall not be adjusted, but the number of Warrant Shares in respect of the exercise of the Warrant to the extent not exercised for shares on the date determined for the right to acquire rights in the rights issuance, shall be adjusted in accordance with the benefit component of the rights, as expressed by the ratio between the share closing price on TASE on the Business Day prior to the ex-date and the base price “ex rights”.
c) If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall:
i.
|
pay a dividend (including issuance of bonus shares) with respect to the Ordinary Shares payable in Ordinary Shares, the number of shares to which the Warrant Holder is entitled upon exercise shall be increased by the number of shares to which the Warrant Holder shall have been entitled as a stock dividend had it exercised the Warrant immediately prior to such distribution, with the Exercise Price for each Warrant Share remaining unmodified.
|
ii.
|
distribute a dividend in cash, cash equivalent or any rights or assets of the Company, the Exercise Price shall be decreased in an amount equal to the gross amount of the cash dividend distributed to each share
|
47
d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Ordinary Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Ordinary Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Ordinary Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (not including any Ordinary Shares held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction , the type and number of securities of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Ordinary Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Ordinary Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, subject to any and all restrictions under applicable law, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) and shall deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for the Alternate Consideration, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such Alternate Consideration. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
48
e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest Agora (NIS 0.01) or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Ordinary Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
f) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Ordinary Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Ordinary Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Ordinary Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of share capital of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Ordinary Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Ordinary Shares is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Ordinary Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Ordinary Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Ordinary Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the ISA. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
49
g) To avoid any doubt, the Company undertakes not to make any adjustments as specified in this Section 3, as long as any Warrant is outstanding, which will result in an exercise price of the Warrant to one Warrant Share which is less than N (as defined above).
h) In the event of (i) any adjustments under this Section 3, or (ii) any Fundamental Transaction (even if such Fundamental Transaction does not result in any adjustments under this Section 3, the Company shall notify the Holders of such event promptly (subject to all applicable laws, including the Israeli Securities Laws), and in event later than within 2 Business Days from the date such event is published.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability. The Holder acknowledges that this Warrant has not been registered for trading under the Securities Law. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, including the Israeli Securities Laws, and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.

The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
50
b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney, provided that the Company shall not be required to issue physical documentation in addition to the listing in the Warrant Register for such total of Warrants that is less than one thousand (1,000) Ordinary Share (unless that represents all Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is then exercisable). Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the original Issue date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, or a Restriction Termination has not otherwise occurred with respect to the Warrant Shares, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement, and make such representations to the Company as set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement, and agree to be bound by the terms thereof in a written instrument reasonably acceptable to the Company.
e) Representation by the Holder.

c) 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 Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Ordinary Shares may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
52
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its articles of association or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered or otherwise released by a Restriction Termination, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by the applicable securities laws.
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
h) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Ordinary Shares or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
53
j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
o) No Registration. Holder acknowledges that this Warrant will not be listed for trading on any stock exchange.
p) Exchange Rate. To the extent that in connection with any payment under this Warrant a conversion of either United States Dollars (“US$”) to New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”), or of NIS to US$ shall be required, any conversion shall be made in accordance with the most recent exchange rate published by the Bank of Israel, immediately prior to such payment.
q) Exhibits and Schedules. All of the exhibits and schedules attached hereto shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.
r) Dual Listing of Company's Shares. In the event that the Company's Ordinary Shares or ADR’s shall be registered for trade in any stock exchange in addition to the TASE, the Company shall treat this Warrant and the Ordinary Shares issuable hereunder, in the same manner as all other securities of the Company are treated with respect to their trading in the additional stock exchange, to the extent practicable.
