WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) (upon the unanimous recommendation of a special committee consisting solely of directors of the Company determined by the Company Board to be “independent” pursuant to the rules of the NYSE Amex (the “Special Committee”)), has approved the consummation of the transactions provided for in this Agreement, including (a) the issuance by the Company to ILDE of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) and a warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Warrant”), in exchange for the issuance by ILDE to the Company of ordinary shares, nominal value NIS0.01 per share, of ILDE (the “ILDE Ordinary Shares”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (the “Share Exchange”) and (b) the granting to ILDE of the right to purchase Units (as defined below) from the Company (together with the Share Exchange, the “Transaction”), in each case as more fully described in this Agreement;

(a) From and after the date of this Agreement until May 1, 2012, the Company shall not issue any equity, debt or convertible securities of the Company (any such securities, “Participation Securities”) to any Person unless the Company offers ILDE the right (the “Securities Participation Right”) to purchase in the aggregate up to fifty percent (50%) of the total issuance by the Company, at the same price per security (payable in cash) and otherwise upon the same terms and conditions as those offered to such Person in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.9; provided, however, that, following compliance with the foregoing, in the event that the Company proposes to offer and sell Participation Securities for aggregate consideration of up to $6,000,000 and such offer and sale is consummated prior to May 1, 2012, the anti-dilution adjustments generally applicable to the Warrants or the Units shall not apply with respect to such offer and sale.  From and after May 1, 2012, and provided that ILDE holds at least ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, the Securities Participation Right shall  provide that ILDE be entitled to subscribe for and purchase a pro rata share (based on the percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock then owned by ILDE) of the total issuance by the Company, at the same price per security (payable in cash) and otherwise upon the same terms and conditions as those offered to such Person in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.9; provided, that the anti-dilution adjustments generally applicable to the Warrants and the Units shall apply with respect to such sale.

 

 

  

15

  

 

(b) Notwithstanding Section 4.9(a), the Securities Participation Right shall not apply to (i) an issuance of equity or equity linked securities pursuant to any director, officer or employee compensation arrangements approved by the Company Board, (ii) an issuance of equity to a seller, or in the case of a merger, the stockholders of the target company or the employees or officers thereof, in connection with a bona fide merger, business combination transaction or acquisition of stock or assets outside of the ordinary course, (iii) a conversion of shares of one class of capital stock of the Company into shares of another class of capital stock of the Company in accordance with the terms of such securities, or (iv) a stock split or other subdivision or combination, or a stock dividend made to all holders of any Company Equity Interests on a pro rata basis.

 

(c) In the event that the Company proposes to issue Participation Securities, the Company shall provide ILDE with written notice thereof (the “Securities Participation Rights Notice”) stating the amount of such Participation Securities to be offered, a brief description of the terms of such Participation Securities, the price and terms on which the Company proposes to offer such Participation Securities (including a description of any non-cash consideration sufficiently detailed to permit a valuation thereof) and a reference to the Securities Participation Right hereunder.  Within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of the Securities Participation Rights Notice, ILDE may elect by written notice to the Company (the “Securities Participation Exercise Notice”) to purchase such Participation Securities at the price and on the terms specified in the Securities Participation Rights Notice (or, if such price includes non-cash consideration, an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of such non-cash consideration), up to the portion of such offering that ILDE is entitled to purchase pursuant to Section 4.9(a).  A Securities Participation Exercise Notice shall constitute a binding agreement of ILDE to purchase the amount of Participation Securities specified therein at the price and on the other terms set forth in the Securities Participation Rights Notice.  Assuming delivery of the Securities Participation Rights Notice in accordance with this Agreement, the failure of ILDE to respond within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed a waiver of ILDE’s rights under this Section 4.9 with respect to the offering described in the applicable Securities Participation Rights Notice.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time prior to the issuance of Participation Securities (whether or not a Securities Participation Exercise Notice shall have been delivered), the Company may elect (in its sole discretion) not to issue such Participation Securities and rescind, in such event, the applicable Securities Participation Rights Notice without liability to any Person hereunder.  The closing of the purchase of Participation Securities by ILDE shall occur as promptly as reasonably practicable following delivery of the related Securities Participation Exercise Notice to the Company and shall be subject to the receipt of any necessary regulatory approvals, the expiration of any required waiting periods and applicable Law.

Thereafter, for so long as ILDE and its Affiliates hold at least 18.75% of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, the Company shall take such action as is necessary to nominate two individuals selected by ILDE to serve on the Company Board (which two individuals, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be inclusive of any individual that ILDE is entitled to nominate to serve on the Company Board pursuant to the Existing Stock Purchase Agreement).
