and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to each Purchaser as follows. The following representations
and warranties also apply to each Subsidiary, whether so expressed or not, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.


 


(a)          Organization,
Good Standing and Power; Subsidiaries.  The Company has been duly incorporated or organized, is validly existing
as a corporation or other legal entity in good standing (or the foreign equivalent thereof) under the laws of its jurisdiction
of incorporation and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business
as it is now being conducted.  The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing
in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary
except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the aggregate) in which the failure to be so qualified will not have or reasonably
be expected not to have a Material Adverse Effect. 


 


The Subsidiaries are
all of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company. The Company (i) owns, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock
or other equity interests of each Subsidiary free and clear of any Liens (as such term is defined below), and (ii) all of the issued

and similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities, except in the case of both (i) and (ii), as set forth in that certain
Security Interest Agreement, dated January 26, 2012, or as otherwise described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.


 


(b)          Authorization;
Enforcement.  The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement
and to issue and sell the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.  The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized
by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders
is required in connection therewith.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.  This
Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship,
receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by
equitable principles of general application and insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable
law.


 


(c)          Capitalization.  As
of April 10, 2012 but prior to the issuance of any Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the authorized capital stock of the Company
consists solely of 30,000,000 Ordinary Shares, par value NIS 0.04 per share, of which 10,525,530 Ordinary Shares are issued and
outstanding. No preferred shares are authorized.


 


The charter documents
of the Company currently on file with the Commission (the “Charter Documents”) are true and correct.  All
of the outstanding Ordinary Shares have been duly and validly authorized and are fully paid and non-assessable.  None
of the Ordinary Shares are subject to preemptive rights, except as set forth in that certain Secured Loan Agreement, dated January
26, 2012, or as otherwise described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.  No Ordinary Shares are entitled
to registration rights.  The Company is not a party to, and it has no knowledge of, any agreement restricting the voting

Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, the Prospectus and the Prospectus

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


 


5.10.       Survival.  The
representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Shares.


 


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 fax 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 fax or “.pdf” signature page
were an original thereof.


 


5.12.       Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full
force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated
by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that
they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.


 


5.13.       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.


 



    	– 12 –



    	 



    

 


5.14.       Independent
Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document
are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the
performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document.  Each Purchaser
has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.


 


5.15.       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.


 


5.16.       WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL.  IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY,
THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY,
IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
