If the Company exercises such right, it will provide written notice thereof to the Purchaser, and upon the receipt of any such notice, the Purchaser shall forthwith discontinue use of the prospectus contained in such registration statement as provided in this Section 6 and otherwise act as instructed in such notice. If any Disadvantageous Condition shall cease to exist, the Company shall promptly notify the Purchaser to such effect.

6.6 Purchaser to Furnish Information. The Company may require the Purchaser to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock that it beneficially owns and, if required by the SEC, the person thereof that has voting and dispositive control over such Common Stock. It shall be a condition precedent of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 6 with respect to the Registrable Securities of the Purchaser, that the Purchaser shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities.

 

 

6.7 Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

 

(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and keep such registration statement (or in the case of Section 6.1, the Registration Statement) effective for up to forty eight (48) months after the applicable effective date or, if earlier, until the Purchaser has completed the distribution related thereto.

 

(b) Not less than five (5) business days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement or any related prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser copies of all such documents proposed to be filed. The Company shall not file in the Registration Statement or any such prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto information to which the Purchaser shall reasonably object in good faith, provided that such objection by the Purchaser is based solely on information provided in writing to the Company by the Purchaser relating to information contained therein regarding the Purchaser, and provided, the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than three (3) business days after the Purchaser has been so furnished copies of such documents. The Purchaser shall within five (5) business days after receipt of the request therefor by the Company provide revised information which the Company reasonably requests for purposes of compliance with the rules and regulations governing the Registration Statement and the exhibits and documents in connection therewith.

 

(c) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement, and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, as may be necessary to comply with the Securities Act in order to enable the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement.

 

(d) Furnish to the Purchaser such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, as required by the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Purchaser may reasonably request in order to facility its disposition of the Registrable Securities.

 

(e) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such Registration Statement under such blue-sky laws in the United States as shall be necessary for compliance by the Purchaser with such laws; provided, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.

 

 

(f) Notify the Purchaser, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, when a supplement to any prospectus forming a party of such Registration Statement has been filed, and when there is any request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such Registration Statement or prospectus.

 

(g) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.

 

7. Indemnification relating to Registration. In the event of any registered offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement:

 

(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Purchaser, any underwriter for the Purchaser, and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser, from and against any and all Damages, and the Company will reimburse the Purchaser, such underwriter and each such controlling person of the Purchaser, promptly upon demand, for any reasonable legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending against such loss, claim, Damages, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, damage, liability, cost or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Purchaser, such underwriter or such controlling persons expressly for use in connection with such registration; provided, that this indemnity shall not be deemed to relieve any underwriter of any of its due diligence obligations; and provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(b) The Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, any underwriter for the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company, from and against any and all Damages, and the Purchaser will reimburse the Company, any underwriter and each such controlling person of the Company, promptly upon demand, for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against such loss, claim, Damages, liability, action or proceeding; in each case to the extern, but only to the extent, that such loss, claim, Damages, liability, action or proceeding arise out or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use in connection with such registration; provided, that this indemnity shall not be deemed to relieve any underwriter of any of its due diligence obligations; and provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Purchaser, as the case may be, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In no event shall the liability of a Purchaser exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Purchaser, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by the Purchaser.

 

 

(c) The foregoing indemnity agreement in Section 7(a) and (b) is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) made in the preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus at the time the registration statement becomes effective or in the final prospectus, such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of an indemnified party hereunder if a copy of the final prospectus was not furnished to the person or entity asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act.

 

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of Sections 7(a) or 7(b) of notice of the commencement of any action involving the subject matter of the foregoing indemnity provisions, such indemnified party will, if a claim thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions of said 7(a) or 7(b), promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than hereunder. In case such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and there is a conflict of interests which would prevent counsel for the indemnifying party from also representing the indemnified party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select one separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of said Sections 7(a) or 7(b) for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed counsel in accordance with the provision of the preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after the notice of the commencement of the action and within fifteen (15) days after written notice of the indemnified party’s intention to employ separate counsel pursuant to the previous sentence, or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

 

(e) If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions, for any reason other than as specified therein, the parties entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall be entitled to contribution to liabilities and expenses as more fully set forth in an underwriting agreement to be executed in connection with such registration. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, there shall be considered the parties’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances.

 

8. Anti Dilution and Most Favored Nation Protection

 

8.1 Adjustment due to Future Issuance of Securities. Until such time in which an aggregate amount of US$ 15,000,000 has been invested in the Company (excluding the Excluded Capital (as defined below)), in any event that the Company issues any additional securities to Purchaser or to any third party, save for Excluded Issuances (as defined below), either at a purchase price, conversion price or exercise price per share less than any of the purchase price, conversion price or exercise price per share paid or payable for an Issued Share, the Purchaser will benefit from a “full ratchet” anti-dilution protection, such that the price paid or payable in consideration for such Issued Share shall be reduced retroactively to the Closing Date to the lowest of the purchase price, conversion price or exercise price per share at which such additional new securities have been issued and if such price reduction applies for the purchase price, the Company shall immediately upon issuance of such shares issue to the Purchaser a number of additional shares of Common Stock that is equal to the difference between the number of Common Stock issued to the Purchaser before the relevant anti-dilution adjustment and the number of Common Stock that would have been issued to the Purchaser at the reduced purchase price per share.

 

“Excluded Capital” means the Purchase Price, the Loan Amount, the aggregate exercise price of the Warrant, any amounts invested in the Company up to US$ 5,000,000 (including the Share Purchase and the Loan Amount) within 3 months from the Closing Date, any amount invested by the Purchaser, any amounts received by the Company not for equity or securities convertible into equity, funds from the OCS or other governmental funding (including BIRD) and all other types of funded R&D either for royalties or for other non-equity consideration.

 

8.2 “Excluded Issuances” shall mean any of the following: (i) securities issued in the ordinary course of business to directors, officers, employees, or consultants of the Company pursuant to any stock option or stock incentive plan reserved for Company officers, directors, employees or consultants and approved by the Company’s Board, and, if applicable, any securities issued upon the exercise of such securities; (ii) securities issued pursuant to any stock split, recapitalization, reclassification or payment of any dividend or distribution with respect to the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital, including any bonus shares; (iii) securities issued upon the conversion of any issued and outstanding options or warrants granted as of the date of the Closing; or (iv) securities issued in connection with an acquisition transaction of another entity in the field of business of the Company as approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, which issuances shall not exceed in the aggregate 15% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital as of the date of this Agreement and provided that the current assets of the acquired entity do not exceed its current liabilities as reflected in the last audited financial statements of such entity immediately preceding the acquisition.

 

 

8.3 Whenever the purchase price is adjusted pursuant hereto, the Company shall promptly mail to the Purchaser a notice setting forth the conversion price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

8.4 Most Favored Terms. Until such time as an aggregate amount of US$ 15,000,000 has been invested in the Company (excluding the Excluded Capital), in the event that any person or entity is issued any type of security including, but not limited to, any type of debt, warrant or equity securities of the Company under terms more favorable than those set forth in this Agreement, the Convertible Debenture or the Warrant (collectively, the “Issued Securities”), then, at the option of the Purchaser, the Issued Securities shall be construed as containing the more favorable terms afforded to such third party, as though such terms were previously provided herein retroactively from the Closing Date. In the event that the Company issues convertible debentures which are publicly traded, the Purchaser shall have the right to replace the Convertible Debenture with such publicly traded convertible debentures in an amount equal to the outstanding Loan Amount at such time, the Convertible Debenture shall be cancelled and the provisions of the publicly traded debentures shall apply. For example, if the Company issues shares of the Company with a higher purchase price per share but with liquidation preferences rights and/or anti-dilution rights that are superior to the rights of the Purchased Shares, the Purchased Shares shall be deemed to include such superior liquidation preference and/or anti-dilution rights while all other terms of the Purchased Shares will remain unchanged and in effect. The Company shall immediately (subject to applicable law) notify the Purchaser in writing on the terms of any issuance of equity of the Company. In the event that any person or entity is granted by the Company registration rights (including, but not limited to, preferences in underwriter’s cutbacks) under terms more favorable than Purchaser’s rights then in effect, such favorable rights shall be deemed to have been granted to Purchaser as of the Closing Dates.

 

8.5 Any dispute on matters under this Section 8 shall be referred to a resolution by Giza Singer Even and Kesselmam and Kesselman (PWC Israel). In the event of different determinations by Giza Singer Even and PWC, the dispute shall be resolved by calculating the average between the values determined by each of Giza Singer Even and PWC with respect to each parameter of their determination. The determination of Giza Singer Even and PWC will be exclusive and final. The non-prevailing party in such dispute shall bear the expenses of Giza Singer Even and PWC. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Purchaser and its affiliates retain the services of Giza Singer Even and PWC in the ordinary course of business for various tasks (including, but not limited to, accounting, tax, financial and fairness opinion, advisory services and the like) and that they will not be limited from retaining them also in the future. In that respect the Company waives any claim it may have against the Purchaser and its affiliates in connection with a conflict of interest regarding the matters contemplated in this Section 8.5.

 

 

8A. Appointment of Director by Purchaser. Prior to the Closing, a person designated by the Purchaser (a “Purchaser Designated Director”) shall have been appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors. So long as Purchaser holds securities (on an as-converted basis) that represent more than 7% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, in the event the Company’s Board of Directors does not include a Purchaser Designated Director, other than by reason of the resignation or death of the Purchaser Designated Director previously in office, then an Event of Default shall have occurred and the Purchaser shall have the rights set forth in section 3.3 of the Note.

 

9. Survival of Representations, Warranties, etc. The respective representations, warranties, and agreements made herein by or on behalf of the parties hereto shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the other party to this Agreement or any officer, director or employee of, or person controlling or under common control with, such party and will survive delivery of and payment for the Purchased Shares issuable hereunder; provided that the representations and warranties made herein shall survive until the third anniversary of the Closing Date; and provided further, that any such representations, warranties or agreements that survive for a time expressly provided herein shall only survive for such period of time.

 

10. Information Rights: Insurance.

 

10.1 The Company recognizes that the Purchaser is a public company with financial reporting requirements. The Company will cooperate with the Purchaser to enable the timely reporting of its financial statements as follows: (a) the Company shall make best efforts to provide its quarterly financial statements to the Purchaser within 30 days following the end of the relevant fiscal quarter of the Company but not later than 45 days after such date; (b) the Company shall make best efforts to provide its audited annual financial statements to the Purchaser within 45 days following the end of the fiscal fourth quarter of the Company but not later than 60 days after such date; and (c) shall translate all immediate reports filed with the TASE and all press releases (including press releases relating to annual and quarterly financial results) to English.

 

10.2 If the Purchaser notifies the Company in writing that applicable securities laws or regulations require the Purchaser to include certain information about the Company in the Purchaser’s publicly filed documents, the Company shall, subject to applicable law, provide such information to the Purchaser that is reasonably required by the Purchaser in order to timely comply with any applicable law or regulation requiring public disclosure of such information, and shall use best efforts to provide such information within seven (7) days following the receipt of such request.

 

10.3 If any request set forth in Section 10.2 hereof would include a request for any non-public information about the Company, the Purchaser shall coordinate the delivery of such information with the Company such that it is in compliance with applicable law; provided, that if required pursuant to applicable law, the Purchaser shall coordinate the form and the timing of such publication, subject to any law or regulations, with the Company in a way which will enable the Company to publish the non-public information prior to its publication by the Purchaser. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all information provided herein is subject to applicable law and may be subject to the restrictions applicable to inside information (or material non-public information) and the parties hereto agree to comply with applicable law regarding use or disclosure of this information.

 

 

10.4 The agreements contained in this Section 10 shall survive only so long as the Purchaser is required to include the Company’s financial statements on an equity basis in the Purchaser’s consolidated financial statements under applicable law or is otherwise so required by reporting requirements applicable to Purchaser pursuant to SEC rules or requirements. All financial statements of the Company shall be audited or reviewed (as required) in accordance with U.S. GAAP by a firm of Independent Certified Public Accountants which is affiliated with one of the “big four” accounting firms.

 

10.5 Any of the above reports or any other consent or approvals of the auditors of the Company which the Company is otherwise required to prepare or obtain for itself pursuant to any applicable securities laws or stock exchange rules and regulations shall be prepared at the Company’s expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that compliance with any of the Purchaser’s requests under this Section 10 shall cause the Company to bear direct and reasonable costs and expenses that are in excess of the cost and expense required to be borne by the Company in order to comply with its own disclosure requirements according to applicable law, the Purchaser shall pay or shall cause to be paid, subject to a prior written approval of the Purchaser (which approval shall be necessary before the Company is obligated to fulfill the Purchaser’s request), any and all costs or expenses of the Company relating to compliance with the Purchaser request which, in aggregate with all other requests of Purchaser, exceed 20,000 New Israeli Shekels during any fiscal year of the Company; provided, however, that the requirement to complete the audited financial statements of the Company for calendar years 2005-2007 and for the first quarter and half of 2008 in accordance with U.S. GAAP shall not be deemed to have been performed at Purchaser’s request.

 

10.6 Public Announcement. The parties hereto will agree in advance on a press release or any other statement or communication regarding the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

10.7 Within 9 months of the Closing Date, the Company will obtain a key-man insurance policy with coverage similar to those of comparable companies applying for registration of their securities as set forth in Section 6.

All notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or otherwise delivered by hand, messenger, internationally recognized courier or facsimile transmission, addressed as set forth below or at such other address as the party shall have furnished to the other party in writing in accordance with this provision:

The invalidity or unenforceability of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the other validity herein, all of which shall remain in full force and effect.

 

(h) This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument signed by each of the Purchaser and the Company.
