WHEREAS:
 
A. The Subscriber is owed for accrued salary by the Company or by Savicell Diagnostics Ltd., an Israeli company which is majority owned by the Company (“Savicell”) the gross amount of USD$________________ (the “Subscription Debt Amount”) ;
 
B. The Company has agreed to permit the Subscriber to convert the Subscription Debt Amount into shares of the Company (the “Shares”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
 
C. The parties acknowledge that the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Subscription Debt Amount will be restricted shares under Rule 144 and in some cases, further restricted under United States securities rules affecting the resale rights of “affiliates”.
 
NOW THEREFORE this Agreement witnesses that for and in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, representations and warranties in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by each party, the parties agree as follows:
 
1.  
Right of Conversion
 
1.1 The parties hereby agree that during the Term (as defined below), the Subscriber may convert all or a portion of its Subscription Debt Amount into a number of Shares (the “Conversion Right”) at a conversion price of $0.055 per Share.
 
1.2 Subscriber may exercise the Conversion Right during the Term by providing notice to the Company in a form as provided by the Company and by delivering a notice of payment of such portion of its Subscription Debt Amount to the Company as the Subscriber wishes to convert, together with the applicable document filled in as set out in Section 2.  The Company will process the conversion notice and issue the Shares to the Subscriber within seven (7) days of receipt of the conversion notice. At the end of the Term, if the Subscription Debt Amount has not been converted to Shares, the Company will pay such amount in cash.
 
1.3 The “Term” is the earliest of
 
 
 

 
 
(a)  
seven (7) years from the date of this Agreement;
 
(b)  
the date the Subscriber demands in writing the Subscription Debt Amount in cash from the Company, respecting only that portion of the Subscription Debt Amount demanded by the Subscriber; and
 
(c)  
the Early Termination Date (defined below).
 
1.4 At any time while the Company’s shares are listed on a United States stock exchange or quotation system (the “Exchange”), if the average volume over a period of 30 trading days on the Exchange totals 50,000 shares traded per day and the market capitalization of the Company’s closing trading price on each such trading day multiplied by the number of common shares of the Company totals a minimum of $40,000,000, the Company may provide notice to the Subscriber that the Subscriber’s Conversion Right will be terminated in ten (10) business days (the “Early Termination Date”). In the event that the Company delivers such notice to the Subscriber and the Subscriber does not exercise the Conversion Right in the 10 business days following delivery of such notice, the Conversion Right will have terminated on the Early Termination Date.
 
2.  
Forbearance from demand.
 
2.1 The Subscriber agrees that in consideration of the grant of the Conversion Right by the Company, the Subscriber will not demand and will not be entitled to demand more than the following percentages of the Subscription Debt Amount prior to the following dates:
 
(a)  
15% of the Subscription Debt Amount within six (6) months of the date of execution of this Agreement;
 
(b)  
an additional 15% of the Subscription Debt Amount during each subsequent six (6) months of the date of execution of this Agreement (up to 30% during year 1, up to 60% during year 2, etc.), so that the entire Subscription Debt Amount may be demanded by the Subscriber by the thirty-seventh (37th) month after execution of this Agreement.
 
2.2 Notwithstanding clause 2.1, in the event that the Company declares or is petitioned into bankruptcy, or substantially all of the Company’s shares are purchased by a third party who is not currently an insider of the Company, the Subscriber may demand the entire Subscription Debt Amount immediately upon such event.
 
2.3 The Subscriber agrees that in further consideration of being granted the Conversion Right, the Subscriber waives his/her right under any applicable legislation which requires payment of employment compensation in cash or to be paid within a certain period of time; and further, the Subscriber will not report or make any complaint against the Company, Savicell or any of their officers, directors, employees or agents to any governmental or regulatory authority with respect to the non-payment of employee compensation as may be required by law or regulation. The Subscriber agrees to cooperate with the Company and Savicell to the full extent permitted by law in the event that any governmental or regulatory authority inquires or investigates the non-payment of compensation and will support the position of the Company and Savicell that its legal obligations are fully complied with and satisfactory to the Subscriber.

3.  
Changes in Shares
 
3.1 Share Consolidation or Subdivision.  In the event that the Shares are at any time subdivided or consolidated, the number of Shares reserved for option and the price payable for any Shares that are then subject to option shall be adjusted accordingly.
 
3.2 Stock Dividend.  In the event that the Shares are at any time changed as a result of the declaration of a stock dividend thereon, the number of Shares reserved for option and the price payable for any Shares that are then subject to option may be adjusted by the Board to such extent as they deem proper in their absolute discretion.
 
3.3 Reorganization.  Subject to any required action by its shareholders, if the Company shall be a party to an reorganization, merger, dissolution or sale or lease of all or substantially all of its assets, whether or not the Company is the surviving entity, the option shall be adjusted so as to apply to the securities to which the holder of the number of shares of capital stock of the Company subject to the option would have been entitled by reason of such reorganization, merger or sale or lease of all or substantially all of its assets, provided however that the Company may satisfy any obligations to an optionee hereunder by paying to the said optionee in cash the difference between the exercise price of all unexercised options granted hereunder and the fair market value of the securities to which the optionee would be entitled upon exercise of all unexercised options, regardless of whether all conditions of exercise relating to continuous employment have been satisfied. Adjustments under this paragraph or any determinations as to the fair market value of any securities shall be made by the Board, or any committee thereof specifically designated by the Board to be responsible therefor, and any reasonable determination made by the said Board or committee thereof shall be binding and conclusive.
 
3.4 Rights Offering.  If at any time the Company grants to the holders of its capital stock rights to subscribe for and purchase pro rata additional securities of the Company or of any other corporation or entity, there shall be no adjustments made to the number of shares or other securities subject to the option in consequence thereof and the said stock option of the optionee shall remain unaffected.
