The term “Equity Securities” shall mean (a) any shares of Acquiror Stock, (b) any other shares of stock issued by the Acquiror, (c) any other securities of the Acquiror or any of its subsidiaries convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, such shares, or (d) options, warrants or other rights to acquire any such shares and the term “Vested Foreign Parent Option” shall mean any options, restricted stock units, securities convertible into or exchangeable for Acquiror Stock outstanding on August 5, 2014, and which remain outstanding, for which the rights of the holders to exercise were fully vested on August 5, 2014, but expressly excluding any warrants or anti-dilution rights (and Acquiror Stock issued pursuant to or upon the exercise thereof) held by or for the benefit of Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap Master Fund G.P., Prescott Group Capital Management LLC or any affiliate, assignee or successor thereof.

1.2 Exercise of Rights. Until termination of the rights hereunder, as set forth in Section 1.4 below, if Acquiror proposes to issue any Equity Securities, it shall give Shareholder written notice of its intention, describing the Equity Securities, the price, the proposed issuance date and the terms and conditions upon which Acquiror proposes to issue the same and the number of Equity Securities that the Shareholder has the right to purchase under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acquiror shall not be required to offer or sell such Equity Securities to Shareholder if such offer or sale would cause Acquiror to be in violation of applicable federal securities laws and/or of the Israeli Companies law and/or any other applicable law and/or the Acquiror’s Articles of Association, by virtue of such offer or sale. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Shareholder’s rights under this Agreement shall be exercisable only with respect to all (and not a portion of) of Shareholder’s pro rata share.

Subject to all applicable law and required consents, Shareholder shall have twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of such notice to elect, by written notice to the Acquiror, to purchase up to the number of shares that would, if purchased by Shareholder, maintain Shareholder’s pro rata share (as set forth in Section 1.1) of Acquiror Stock.
