BrainsWay Targets Expansion of its Total Addressable Market through a Strategic Investment in Neuromodulation Systems Developer, Neurolief Ltd.

 

This investment marks BrainsWay’s entrance into the market for mental health therapies that can be administered outside of a clinic, including at home

 

Neurolief’s breakthrough Proliv™Rx device is pending Premarket Approval from the U.S. FDA, and if granted, will become the first FDA-cleared medical device for MDD treatment that can be delivered outside of the clinic

 

BURLINGTON, Mass. and JERUSALEM, Israel, August 21, 2025 -- BrainsWay Ltd. (NASDAQ & TASE: BWAY) (“BrainsWay” or the “Company”), a global leader in advanced noninvasive neurostimulation treatments for mental health disorders, today announced it has closed an initial strategic investment by means of a $5 million convertible loan to, along with an option to acquire, Neurolief Ltd. (“Neurolief”), developer of the world’s first wearable, non-invasive, multi-channel brain neuromodulation platform that is designed for use at home. Neurolief’s technology has demonstrated positive clinical outcomes and includes a proprietary therapy for treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (MDD) and migraine. The Agreement also includes additional possible milestone-based funding.

 

“We are very excited with this strategic investment in Neurolief. Upon an FDA approval, we believe this technology will significantly expand our addressable market, enabling care for patients who cannot easily access clinics and empowering medical professionals to extend treatment beyond traditional settings. This aligns with our strategic goal of accelerating access to and awareness of innovative mental health treatments, especially offerings that we believe are complementary to mental health professionals using our Deep TMS therapy,” said Hadar Levy, BrainsWay’s Chief Executive Officer. “The BrainsWay team has rapidly expanded sales of the Deep TMS™ system, supported by scaling of our commercial platform and customer network. We are excited by the opportunity to leverage our platform and explore potential synergies between our two companies, as Neurolief brings its at-home neuromodulation systems to the market through mental health professionals.”

 

Neurolief is a pioneering neuromodulation company dedicated to developing innovative solutions for mental health and neurological disorders. Neurolief's Relivion®MG therapy is currently approved in the U.S., Europe and Japan for the treatment of migraine, and it is awaiting Premarket Approval from the U.S. FDA for its ProlivTMRx therapy addressing Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in treatment resistant patients. If approved, Neurolief will be the first medical device company to offer an FDA-cleared MDD treatment that can be delivered outside of the clinic.

 

 


 

MDD is a leading cause of disability globally, with millions of people affected. The situation is especially dire for those patients who fail to respond to traditional treatments, facing prolonged suffering, higher healthcare costs, and a heightened risk of comorbid conditions such as substance abuse and suicide. Despite the global impact of MDD, there is a critical gap in accessible, effective therapies, particularly for these patients. Proliv™Rx is designed to bridge this gap by offering a revolutionary, non-invasive brain neuromodulation therapy that can be administered at a mental health clinic or a patient’s home.

 

“This strategic investment by BrainsWay is a strong validation of our science, our team, and our vision,” stated Scott Drees, Neurolief's Chief Executive Officer. “This partnership enhances our ability to reach the patients who need our therapy most. BrainsWay’s market presence, deep expertise, and established commercial platform can complement our innovation and momentum. Together, we aim to reshape the treatment landscape for depression and expand access to evidence-based, effective care.”

 

Beyond the initial $5 million convertible loan, the agreement provides for potential additional milestone-based funding to Neurolief, including a second tranche of up to a $6 million convertible loan upon FDA approval of Neurolief’s Proliv Rx system for MDD treatment, and a third tranche consisting of up to a $5 million equity investment upon Neurolief achieving an agreed-upon revenue milestone. BrainsWay has also been granted a “call option” to acquire all outstanding equity interests in Neurolief during clearly defined exercise windows, at a price based on the greater of a specified enterprise value or a revenue multiple, with the values varying depending on timing of exercise.

 

Through this multi-phased transaction, BrainsWay aims to expand its long-term total addressable market.

  3  

1.8. Additional Future Investments. Subject to the Closing having occurred, and contingent upon the Company meeting certain milestones described below, the Investor undertakes to provide additional funding at two subsequent closings (the “Second Closing” and the “Third Closing”, each of which may be referred to as a “Subsequent Closing” and collectively the “Subsequent Closings”), as further provided in this Section 1.8.

1.8.1.     Second Investment. At the Second Closing, and (in addition to the conditions set forth in Section ‎2.4), conditioned upon FDA Approval (defined below) (the “Second Investment Milestone”), the Investor shall provide to the Company, a convertible loan in the principal amount of up to US$6,000,000, as specified in the Company’s Investment Request (as defined below, where the exact portion of the Second Principal Amount to be provided shall be determined by the Board (such principal amount actually extended to the Company by the Investor per the Company’s request, shall be referred to herein: the “Second Principal Amount”). The Second Principal Amount will bear Interest on the outstanding balance from the date of its disbursement to the Company, at the same rate as set forth in Section 1.2 above per annum. The Second Principal Amount, and all Interest and VAT accrued thereon, are collectively referred to as the “Second Loan Amount”, and collectively with the Initial Loan Amount, which is outstanding, the “Loan Amount”. The Second Principal Amount and the Initial Principal Amount are collectively referred to as the “Principal Amount”. Unless previously converted or repaid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Second Loan Amount shall become due and payable to the Investor on the Maturity Date (as and if deferred in accordance with Section 1.3, and subject to the Repayment Grace Period set forth therein). At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Investor will inform the Company by written notice if upon the Maturity Date, it elects for the outstanding Second Loan Amount to be repaid, or alternatively to have the Second Principal Amount converted into shares as provided herein (in which case the accrued Interest thereon shall be deemed waived by the Investor and therefore shall be neither converted nor repaid); provided, however that in the event that no such written notice is timely given, then the Investor shall be deemed to have elected the outstanding Loan Amount to be repaid in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If it elects it to be repaid, the Company may obtain additional debt or equity financing to repay the outstanding Second Loan Amount, without any restriction on the part of the Investor, and the Call Option shall expire as of immediately upon the repayment in full of the outstanding Loan Amount to the Investor. “FDA Approval” means: receipt by the Company of an Approval Order from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for the Proliv Rx neurostimulation system for depression, which shall include approval as an adjunctive tool for management or treatment, or use for medication resistant or treatment-refractory depression, for use at home, and may include post approval obligations provided that it does not include any condition that would prevent commercial sale of the product in the United States.

1.8.2.     Third Investment. Subject to the Second Closing having occurred and the investment of the Second Principal Amount, at the Third Closing, and (in addition to the conditions set forth in Section ‎2.4), conditioned upon Company having achieved twelve month revenues of US$10,000,000, calculated on a trailing 12-month basis based on a reviewed (by the Company’s auditors, in accordance with US GAAP) statement(s) of the Company’s revenues for the applicable 12 calendar month period (the “Third Investment Milestone”), the Investor shall (subject to satisfaction of the conditions to a Subsequent Closing set forth in Section 2.4 below) pay to the Company the Third Investment Amount, in consideration for which the Company shall allot to the Investor Series S-3 Preferred Shares of the Company (the Preferred S-3 Shares, and together with the Preferred S-1 Shares and Preferred S-2 Shares, as defined below, the “Preferred S Shares”), which shall have the rights, preferences and privileges set forth in Amended Articles, for the aggregate purchase price specified in the Company’s Investment Request, such amount not to exceed US$5,000,000 (the “Third Investment Amount”) (where the exact portion of the Third Investment Amount to be provided shall be determined by the Board). The price per share of the Preferred S-3 Shares (the “Third Investment PPS”) shall reflect a pre-money Company valuation, as of the Closing Date, on a Fully Diluted Basis, of $55,000,000, assuming the investment and conversion of the Principal Amount and the Second Company CLA; and the number of Preferred S-3 Shares to be issued and allotted to Investor (the “Third Closing Shares”)) shall be the result obtained by dividing the Third Investment Amount by the Third Investment PPS; all as further reflected in the Capitalization Table. The current Capitalization Table simulation assumes the investment of the maximum Principal Amount (i.e., $11M) prior to investment of the Third Investment Amount, in which case, the Third Investment PPS shall be $2.82 (and if and to the extent the Second Principal Amount actually invested is lower than $6M, at the request of the Company, then the Capitalization Table shall be adjusted accordingly so to reflect the actual Principal Amount that was invested).

  4  

1.8.3.     The amounts actually called by the Company in respect of the Second Principal Amount and the Third Investment Amount shall each be determined by the Board in its reasonable discretion, considering the Company’s capital needs, business plan, and other relevant factors.

1.8.4.     In order to minimize the potential for any dispute regarding the determination of the Company’s revenues for the purpose of determining the Third Investment Milestone, the Parties agree to the following: 

1.8.4.1. the Company’s revenues will be calculated in accordance with US GAAP, as consistently applied by the Company in accordance with past practice;

1.8.4.2. upon decision of the Board, following the date upon which the Company first generates revenues in any calendar quarter of at least $250,000, the Company’s quarterly financial statements which shall be delivered to the Investor and the other entitled shareholders pursuant to the IRA (as defined below) on a quarterly basis shall be financial statements reviewed by the Company’s auditors (“Quarterly Reviewed FS”).

1.8.4.3. upon Investor’s receipt of any Quarterly Reviewed FS from the Company, the Investor shall have the right, to be exercised within 14 business days following the delivery date thereof, to review, inter alia, the Company’s revenues with the Company’s CFO and ensure that they are reflected in accordance with the abovementioned accounting principles;

  5  

1.8.4.4. revenues of the Company as set forth in any Quarterly Reviewed FS which were (i) approved by the Board, with the affirmative vote or written consent of a director appointed by the Investor, or (ii) not subject to any outstanding contest that was previously raised by the Investor pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 1.8.4.3 shall have the presumption of being correct for purposes of determining whether the Third Investment Milestone has been achieved, unless such revenues has been adjusted in the course of the preparation of the Audited Financial Statements of the Company, in which case the revenues as adjusted shall have the presumption of being correct for purposes of determining whether the Third Investment Milestone has been achieved.

1.8.5.     The Company shall provide the Investor with written notice promptly upon it becoming aware of the achievement of each of the Second Investment Milestone and the Third Investment Milestone (each, a “Milestone” and a “Milestone Notice”, respectively), together with the documentary evidence reasonably necessary to demonstrate that the applicable Milestone has been reached. Together with such notice, or in a separate notice to be given no later than 30 days after the date when the applicable Milestone was reached, the Company may issue a request (“Investment Request”) for the Second Principal Amount or the Third Investment Amount, as the case may be.

1.8.6.     The Investor shall have 10 business days following the delivery of each Milestone Notice (as applicable with respect to each Milestone, the “Review Period”) to review such Milestone Notice and any additional information and documents received from the Company and to either: (a) inform the Company of its position as to the attainment of the Milestone by the Company, or (b) request additional information and documents from the Company as may be reasonably required for the Investor in order to confirm the satisfaction of the Milestone. If such additional information has been requested by the Investor, the Review Period shall be extended for 10 additional business days following the delivery to the Investor of all such additional information and documentation. In case the Investor does not agree that the Company has achieved such Milestone (the “Dispute”), the Investor shall inform the Company in writing, within the Review Period, of its conclusion which such written notice shall include the reason for such Dispute (the “Objection Notice”) and the Investor and the Company will promptly commence discussions to resolve such Dispute. If the Investor does not deliver an Objection Notice within the applicable Review Period (as extended, if and as applicable), then the Investor shall be deemed to have agreed with the Milestone Notice. If within 3 business days following the commencement of such discussions, the Investor and the Company have not resolved such Dispute, then either the Investor or the Company may submit for resolution of the Dispute to an independent expert consultant (the “Expert”). The Expert shall be appointed by mutual agreement of the Company’s chairman and the Investor’s Chief Executive Officer and shall serve as an arbitrator to resolve the items in Dispute. If the Parties cannot agree on the appointment of the Expert within 5 business days, the appointment shall be an individual recommended by the Company’s US regulatory counsel for the Second Investment Milestone, and the Company’s auditor for the Third Investment Milestone (in each case with meeting the necessary requirements and qualifications set forth in this Section 1.8.6). The Expert shall hold the relevant expertise and experience. Accordingly, the Parties contemplate the appointment of an independent regulatory consultant with at least seven (7) years’ direct experience in FDA medical-device submissions (including De Novo and PMA pathways) and who has no current or former association with the Company in case of dispute regarding completion of the Second Investment Milestone, or appointment of an accounting firm associated with one of the “Big 4” international accounting firms, that has no current or former association with the Company or the Investor in case of dispute regarding completion of the Third Investment Milestone. The Expert will provide its final determination within 14 days after the date of its appointment in case of the Second Investment Milestone or 30 days after the date of its appointment in case of the Third Investment Milestone. This provision for arbitration shall be specifically enforceable by the Parties, and the determination of the Expert in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be final and binding upon the Company and the Investor with no right of appeal therefrom (save for manifest error) This arbitration clause shall be treated as an arbitration contract between the parties for all intents and purposes and the provisions of the Israeli Arbitration Law of 1968 shall be applied to the arbitration proceedings and the Expert, unless the parties expressly agree to the contrary. The Expert shall not be bound by procedural rules. The costs of the Expert and any legal expenses borne in connection therewith shall be borne by the Party against whom the Dispute is determined.

  6  

1.8.7.     Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to the Subsequent Closings pursuant to Section 2.4 below, upon completion of the Review Period (and, if applicable, the Expert determination under Section 1.8.6), each of the Subsequent Closings shall take place as follows: (A) If no Objection Notice is delivered during the Review Period (as extended), the applicable Subsequent Closing shall take place within 7 business days after the expiration of the Review Period (as and if extended in accordance with Section 1.8.6 above); and (B) If a Dispute is raised and referred to an Expert, then, upon and subject to receipt of the Expert’s final determination that the applicable Milestone was achieved, the applicable Subsequent Closing shall take place within 7 business days after such determination.

Neither the Company, nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any third party acting on the Company’s behalf, has received any written notice, warning letter, untitled letter, inspectional observation, or other communication from any Governmental Entity or institutional review board alleging a material lack of compliance with any Health Care Law or any Company Product registration, approval, authorization, license, or other material permit required to exploit (meaning develop, manufacture, distribute, market, or sell) any Product (“Product Registration”). Each Product Registration is valid, in full force and effect, and owned or controlled by the Company.

In this Agreement, “Health Care Laws” means all applicable Laws, rules, regulations, and requirements (including those administered by the FDA, the Israeli Ministry of Health, European regulatory authorities, or other Governmental Authorities) that govern or relate to the development, manufacture, testing, labelling, marketing, sale, or reimbursement of products intended for human use, including any applicable anti-kickback, fraud and abuse, privacy, data protection, clinical trial, good manufacturing practice, and product clearance or approval Laws.

To the Company’s knowledge, none of the clinical investigators, contract research organizations, or other service providers involved in the development, manufacture, or clinical testing of any Company Product has been disqualified, restricted, or otherwise sanctioned by the FDA, the Israeli Ministry of Health, any European regulatory authority, or any other applicable Governmental Entity.

The descriptions of, protocols for, and data and other results of, the studies, tests, development, and trials conducted by or on behalf of the Company that have been furnished or made available to the Investor are accurate and complete. The Company is not aware of any studies, tests, development or trials the results of which reasonably call into question the results of the studies, tests, development and trials conducted by or on behalf of the Company, and the Company has not received any notices or correspondence from any Governmental Entity or any institutional review board or comparable authority requiring the termination, suspension or material modification of any studies, tests, preclinical development or clinical trials conducted by or on behalf of the Company. The Company has not received any notices or correspondence from any Governmental Entity requiring the termination, suspension or material modification of any studies, tests or preclinical or clinical trials conducted by or on behalf of the Company.

Neither the Company, nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any officer, director, employee, or agent of the Company, has committed any act or made any statement that could reasonably be expected to result in criminal or civil liability or lead any Governmental Entity to impose sanctions, exclusions, suspensions, debarments, or penalties related to any Health Care Law.

  30  

5.20.5.   The Company has made available to the Investor (a) true, correct, and complete copies of all material filings, correspondence, and communications with any applicable Governmental Entity regarding the Products, (b) all material data, information, reports, protocols, and analyses relating to the safety, efficacy, or regulatory status of the Products, and (c) its current development plans for the Products, including any planned submissions to the FDA, Israeli Ministry of Health, EU regulatory bodies, or other Governmental Entities for Product Registrations.

5.21.                Privacy and Data Protection. In connection with its collection, storage, cross-border transfer, and use of any individually identifiable information (“Personal Information”), including personal data under the Israeli Protection of Privacy Law, 1981, the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), and any other applicable privacy or data protection Laws, including Laws of any other jurisdictions in which the Company collects or processes Personal Information (collectively, “Privacy Laws”), the Company has at all times taken the measures required by, and is in compliance in all material respects with, the Privacy Laws, its own privacy policies, and any contractual requirements binding on the Company. The Company has implemented and maintains reasonable and legally required physical, technical, organizational, and administrative safeguards to protect Personal Information against loss, unauthorized access, misuse, or modification, including appropriate written agreements with all vendors or data processors handling Personal Information on the Company’s behalf. To the Company’s knowledge, no unauthorized access to, or other misuse of, Personal Information or the Company’s information technology systems has occurred, and the Company has not received any notice (nor is any action pending or, to its knowledge, threatened) from any Governmental Entity or private party alleging noncompliance with any Privacy Law. The Company has complied with all applicable data breach notification requirements, and any consents required under the Privacy Laws for the collection, processing, transfer, and other use of Personal Information have been validly obtained. The Company has not sold or shared Personal Information in violation of any Privacy Law. To the Company’s knowledge, no event or condition exists that would reasonably be expected to require the Company to alter or cease any current or planned use of Personal Information under any Privacy Law, nor does the Company have any contractual or legal obligations that prevent it from collecting or using Personal Information in the manner it currently does or as contemplated in its business plans.

5.22.                Anti-Corruption and Sanctions. The Company is not engaging in any activity or conduct that would constitute an offense under any ABC Laws or any Sanctions, and, unless permitted by the relevant Governmental Entity, has not conducted any business dealings with a Sanctioned Party. The Company is itself not a Sanctioned Party and is not the subject of any pending or threatened investigation, inquiry, or proceeding by any Governmental Entity concerning non-compliance with ABC Laws or Sanctions. The Company shall (i) comply fully with all ABC Laws and Sanctions; (ii) not directly or indirectly pay, offer, promise, or authorize the provision of money or anything of value to a Government Official, intending to influence that official to obtain or retain business or an improper advantage, or otherwise secure unlawful personal gain; and (iii) unless permitted by the relevant Governmental Entity, refrain from conducting direct or indirect business dealings with any Sanctioned Party or any party located in, organized within, or operating from a sanctioned country or territory. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) “ABC Laws” includes anti-corruption and anti-bribery Laws such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010, and the applicable sections of the Israeli Penal Law 1977, each as amended; (b) “Government Official” means an employee, officer, or representative of, or anyone acting in an official capacity for, a Governmental Entity, political party, or supra-national organization; (c) “Sanctioned Party” refers to any person who is subject to sanctions (including those on restricted-party lists maintained by the U.S., U.N., Switzerland, the EU, or the U.K.) or located in a comprehensively sanctioned country; and (d) “Sanctions” means U.S. or other sanctions imposed by the U.S., the United Nations, Israel, the EU, or the U.K.

  31  

5.23.                Insurance. Section 5.23 of the Schedule of Exceptions contains a list of all insurance policies issued to or for the benefit of the Company, which policies contain coverage in amounts which to the Company's best knowledge are customary in the Company's industry and are reasonable under the circumstances. All such policies are in full force and effect, and there is no claim by the Company pending under any of such policies. All due premiums payable under all such policies have been paid; the Company is otherwise in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such policies; and the Company is not aware of any circumstances reasonably likely to give rise to any claim under any of such policies. The Company has not, to the best of its knowledge, taken any action, or omitted to take any action, which would be reasonably likely to render any such insurance policy void or voidable.

5.24.                Governmental Funding, Programs, etc. Except as set forth in Section 5.24 of the Schedule of Exceptions, the Company has not received, and there are no outstanding applications for, any grants, incentives, benefits (including tax benefits) and subsidies from any Governmental Entity or any agency thereof or any international or bilateral fund, institute or organization or public entities or authorities, including, from the Investment Centre of the Ministry of Economy and Industry of the State of Israel or the National Authority for Technological Innovation (previously known as the Office of the Chief Scientist of Israel’s Ministry of Economy), nor is the Company an “approved enterprise”, “benefited enterprise” or “preferred enterprise” within the meaning of the Israeli Encouragement of Capital Investments Law, 1959.

Except as set forth in Section 5.24 of the Schedule of Exceptions, there are no outstanding obligations of the Company to make any payment or other royalties under such grants or benefits. Except as set forth in Section 5.24 of the Schedule of Exceptions, no royalties, interest, or other payments are payable or will be payable by the Company as a result of such grants or benefits, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not affect the continued qualification for such grants or benefits, the terms or duration thereof or require any reimbursement, repayment, refund or cancellation of any previously claimed or received grants or benefits.

5.28.                Disclosure. The Company's representations and warranties made or contained in this Agreement, when considered in conjunction with the disclosures expressly included in the Schedule of Exceptions, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order prevent any such representation or warranty from being misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made or delivered.

9. Post-Closing Covenants

9.1.  Survival of Representations and Warranties; Indemnification.

9.1.1.     Each representation and warranty herein is deemed to be made on the date of this Agreement and at the Closing and shall survive and remain in full force and effect after the Closing; provided however, that the survival of all representations and warranties of the Company shall be limited to a period ending upon the earlier of (i) lapse of 3 (three) years from the Closing or (ii) the closing of a Deemed Liquidation event (including without limitation, through an exercise of the Call Option); and provided further, however, that notwithstanding the aforesaid, the survival of those representations and warranties contained in Section ‎5.1 (Organization), Section ‎5.3 (Authorization and Approvals Related to the Transaction; No Breach), Section ‎5.6 (Capitalization), Section ‎5.14 (Intellectual Property), Section ‎5.17 (Tax), Section ‎5.20 (Regulatory Matters) and Section ‎5.21 (Privacy and Data Protection) shall survive for a period of 5 (five) years from the Closing (in each case, a “Survival Period”).

  34  

9.1.2.     The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the Investor and its executive officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents and representatives (together with the Investor, the “Indemnitees”, and each an “Indemnitee”) against any and all damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), whether or not arising out of third-party claims (“Losses”), based upon, or arising out of, or relating to, (i) any breach by the Company of any representation or warranty or other statement contained in this Agreement which occurs within the applicable Survival Period (“Representation Indemnifiable Claims”), or (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, and which, if reasonably susceptible to being cured, remains uncured for 30 days following receipt of written notice thereof (“Covenant Indemnifiable Claims”; and collectively with Representation Indemnifiable Claims, “Company Indemnifiable Claims”); provided that, with respect to Company Indemnifiable Claims, in no event shall the Company be liable for any indirect, consequential, punitive, or special damages, including loss of profits or loss of business opportunities.

9.1.3.      In the event that an Indemnitee shall sustain or incur any Losses in respect of which indemnification may be sought by it pursuant hereto, such Indemnitee shall assert a claim for indemnification (a “Claim”) by giving written notice thereof, which shall describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances upon which the asserted claim for indemnification is based, to the Company and shall thereafter keep the Company reasonably informed with respect thereto; provided, that a failure of the Indemnitee to give the Company prompt notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Company of any of its obligations hereunder, except in the case where the Company, is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure, in which case, the Company will be relieved from its indemnification obligations hereunder but only to the extent of the damages caused to it due to such failure. In connection with a third-party claim, the Company shall promptly assume the defense of the Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Company. The Indemnitee will cooperate with the Company in the defense of any Claim for which the Company assumes the defense, at the Company’s reasonable cost and expense. In the event that counsel retained by the Company to defend a Claim also represents the Company in any other matter giving rise to a conflict of interest with respect to such Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume the defense, and the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Company. In any event, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of any third-party Claim with counsel of its choosing at its own expense. The Company will not agree, without the consent of the Indemnitee (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to any settlement that (i) includes any admission of fault or wrongdoing by the Indemnitee, or (ii) imposes any non-monetary obligations or restrictions on the Indemnitee, or (iii) would result in a monetary liability to the Indemnitee.

9.1.4.     The monetary amount of the indemnification hereunder shall be limited to the aggregate outstanding principal actually advanced by the Investor under the Initial Principal Amount, the Second Principal Amount and any portion of the Third Investment Amount funded as of the date of the applicable Claim less any amount of damages previously paid to the Indemnitee by the Company under this indemnity clause, and any amount of the Initial Principal Amount or Second Principal Amount previously repaid to the Investor; provided, however, that any such repayments shall not reduce the monetary cap applicable to indemnification for Losses arising from the defence of Third Party Claims. No claim or claims shall be brought unless the aggregate amount of such claim exceeds fifty thousand U.S. Dollars ($50,000), provided that in case of a claim in excess of the aforesaid threshold, the claim can be submitted for the entire amount of such loss. Subject to Section ‎9.2 below, the indemnification provided by the Company pursuant to this Section ‎9.1 shall be the exclusive remedy available to the Indemnitees against the Company in connection with any Company Indemnifiable Claim, except in the case of gross negligence or fraudulent, bad faith, or wilful misrepresentation or breach (in which cases the limitations under this Section ‎9.1.4 shall not apply). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Section 9, the Investor shall be entitled to specific performance of any of the covenants, obligations, or undertakings of the Company under this Agreement and to such other injunction or other equitable relief as may be granted by a court of competent jurisdiction.

  35  

9.1.5.     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company more than once for the same Loss, even if such Loss gives rise to more than one claim for indemnification under this Agreement or involves more than one Indemnitee. For the avoidance of doubt, separate and distinct Losses incurred by different Indemnitees (even if arising from the same Company Indemnifiable Claim) shall each be recoverable by the respective Indemnitee. 

9.2. Capitalization Adjustments. If at any time following the Closing, the Capitalization Table is found to have been not reflective of all the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company as of the Closing on a Fully-diluted Basis, then at the Investor’s election (in lieu of indemnification remedy under Section 9.1 above), the Company shall issue to the Investor upon conversion of the Principal Amount (and contingent thereon), or thereafter if such discovery is made after the conversion, the number of additional Conversion Shares, for no additional consideration, that would have been required in order for the Investor to maintain its shareholding percentage in the Company on a fully-diluted basis as of the Closing, as set forth in the Capitalization Table, and the Capitalization Table shall be updated accordingly. This provision shall expire upon the earlier of: (i) the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations, and (ii) immediately prior to the consummation of a Deemed Liquidation event (including without limitation, through an exercise of the Call Option).

9.3. Evidence of Filing – Share Issuances. The Company shall file with the Israeli Registrar of Companies the Amended Articles and the issuance of the Special Share immediately following the Closing. All notices that were to be filed with the Israeli Registrar of Companies according to applicable Law in connection with this Agreement shall be immediately filed following the Closing and each Subsequent Closing subject to receipt from the Investor of the data and documents required for such filings.

9.4. Data Protection Officer. Within 60 days following the Closing the Company agrees to seek external counsel advice with respect to the necessary to appoint a data protection officer and to comply with such advice.

10. Miscellaneous.

10.1.   Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the Laws of the State of Israel, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of Law or choice of Law that would cause the substantive Laws of any other jurisdiction to apply.

Such Consideration shall be released by the Section 102 Trustee, in accordance with applicable law, the Israeli Options Tax Ruling, and the trust documents governing the trust held by the Section 102 Trustee.

 

1.3.6.      Withholding.

 

1.3.6.1.      Each of the Investor, Investor’s agent, including the Paying Agent (each, a “Payor”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Consideration if applicable, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the payment of such Consideration under the Income Tax Ordinance (New Version), 5721–1961 at the applicable rate for such withholding. To the extent any amounts were so deducted or withheld, such withheld amounts shall be timely remitted by the relevant Payor, to the applicable Governmental Authority and the Payor shall promptly provide the applicable payment recipient a written confirmation of the payment details and the amount so withheld as well as any other reasonable evidence of said withholding.

 

  7  

1.3.6.2.      Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Israeli Tax, if the Paying Agent provides the Investor with an undertaking prior to the Option Closing Date as required under Section 6.2.4.3 of the Income Tax Circular 19/2018 (Transaction for Sale of Rights in a Corporation that includes Consideration that will be transferred to the Seller at Future Dates), any consideration paid pursuant to this Agreement on the Option Closing Date shall be retained by the Paying Agent for a period of up to 180 days from the Option Closing Date (or, with respect to any other payment of Consideration payable or otherwise deliverable following the Option Closing Date, for a period of 90 days following such payment or delivery date), or a shorter period of time if requested in writing by a Person in respect of such Person’s portion of the Consideration) (respectively, the “Withholding Drop Date”), during which time the Paying Agent shall not withhold any Israeli Tax on such Consideration paid except as provided below, and during which time such Person may obtain a Valid Certificate regarding the deduction or withholding of Israeli Tax from any Consideration paid to such Person hereunder. If such Person delivers a Valid Certificate (as defined below) to the Paying Agent no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date, the deduction and withholding of any Israeli Taxes shall be made in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Certificate and the balance of the payment that is not withheld shall be paid to such Person. If a Person (i) does not provide the Investor or the Paying Agent with a Valid Certificate by no later than three (3) Business Days before the Withholding Drop Date or (ii) submits a written request to the Investor or the Paying Agent to release its portion of the Consideration paid to the Paying Agent pursuant to this Agreement prior to the Withholding Drop Date and fails to submit a Valid Certificate at or before such time, then the amount of Israeli Tax to be withheld from such Person’s portion of the consideration paid pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated according to the applicable withholding rate as reasonably determined by the Paying Agent in accordance with the Income Tax Ordinance which amount shall be calculated in NIS based on the US:NIS exchange rate known on the date the payment is actually made to such recipient. The amount so withheld shall be timely delivered or caused to be delivered to the ITA by the Paying Agent, and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to any such Person the balance of the payment due to such Person that is not so withheld (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of subclause (ii), the Consideration shall be released to such Person promptly following the receipt of such request without the need to wait until the lapse of the 180 days (or 90 days from any later payment date)). To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall provide the applicable Person with formal documentation evidencing such withholding and payment.

 

1.3.6.3.      A “Valid Certificate” shall mean a valid and applicable certificate or ruling issued by the Israeli Tax Authority (the “ITA”) stating that no withholding (or reduced withholding) of Israeli Tax is required with respect to such Person, or providing for other instructions regarding the payment due to such Person. The Parties agree that, a valid certificate of exemption from withholding pursuant to Israeli Income Tax Regulations (Withholding from Payments for Services or Assets), 5737-1977, issued by the ITA will be deemed a Valid Certificate, provided that such certificate shall not be valid for transfers outside Israel or for payments not made in cash. The parties further agree that the Israeli Options Tax Ruling, the Interim Options Tax Ruling and the 104H Tax Ruling shall be deemed a Valid Certificate. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Valid Certificate was not obtained, the Payor, when a payment of the Consideration is made shall withhold tax in accordance with the withholding tax rates stipulated in the Israeli Income Tax Regulations (Withholding from Payments for Services or Assets), 5737-1977.

 

1.3.6.4.      In the event that any Payor receives a written demand from the ITA to withhold any amount out of the amount in respect of any Person hereunder and transfer it to the ITA, the Payor (i) shall notify such Person of such matter promptly after receipt of such written demand, and provide such payee with reasonable time (but in no event less than 14 days unless otherwise required by the ITA or any applicable Tax Law) to attempt to delay such requirement or extend the period for complying with such requirement as evidenced by a written certificate, ruling or confirmation from the ITA, and (ii) to the extent that any such certificate, ruling or confirmation is not timely provided by such Person to the Investor and the relevant Payor, transfer to the ITA any amount so demanded, including any interest, indexation and fines required by the ITA in respect thereof, and such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to such Person and the Payor shall timely provide the Person with a written confirmation of such tax withholding.

 

  8  

1.3.6.5.      Israeli Tax Rulings. The Parties shall work together and cooperate in good faith so to take such actions, if and as required by the Representative (on behalf of Grantors) so to minimize tax implications for the Grantors. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties contemplate that as soon as reasonably practicable following delivery by Buyer of an Exercise Notice, Buyer and the Company shall jointly instruct their respective Israeli counsels to prepare and file with the ITA an application for the following tax rulings, all as and if required by the Company and/or the Representative (on behalf of Grantors):

 

(a)   If the Option Purchased Securities include any Section 102 Options and/or Section 102 Shares, and the mandatory holding period therefor pursuant to Section 102 has not elapsed with respect to some, or all of the Section 102 Options and/or Section 102 Shares, a ruling that confirms that payment of the Exercise Price in consideration therefor: (i) shall not result in an immediate taxable event for the Person entitled to such options and shares, (ii) shall be taxed at capital gains rates or any other preferential tax rate, as may be agreed with the ITA, and, if applicable (iii) shall not affect the length of the holding period required with respect to such options and shares under the Section 102, which ruling may be subject to such terms regularly associated with such ruling (the “Israeli Options Tax Ruling”), and/or an interim tax ruling from the ITA (if applicable) confirming, among other things, that the Investor and anyone acting on its behalf shall be exempt from Israeli withholding Tax in relation to any payments made to the Paying Agent, Section 102 Trustee and/or anyone on their behalf ("Interim Options Tax Ruling"); Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that such Israeli Options Tax Ruling and/or Interim Options Tax Ruling are obtained, Israeli Tax withholding with respect to holders of Section 102 Options and/or Section 102 Shares shall be as determined in the Israeli Options Tax Ruling, or the Options Interim Tax Ruling, as applicable; and

 

(b)   If the Exercise Price includes payment by means of Equity Consideration, then at the request of any Sellers, to be delivered through the Representative, the Company, through its legal and accounting representatives will approach the ITA with an application for a ruling (the “104H Tax Ruling”) permitting any such Seller, who elects to become a party to such a tax ruling (each, an “Electing Holder”), to defer any applicable Israeli Tax with respect to any Equity Consideration that such Electing Holder will receive pursuant to this Agreement until the date set forth in Section 104H of the Israel Tax Ordinance. Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with the Company, the Electing Holders and their Israeli counsel with respect to the preparation and filing of such application and in the preparation of any written or oral submissions that may be necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the 104H Tax Ruling; provided that the 104H Tax Ruling shall not impose any material restrictions or obligations other than restrictions applicable under the Israel Tax Ordinance, on Buyer, or the Company without the written consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

  9  

The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law to obtain the 104H Tax Ruling, as promptly as practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the Electing Holders, the Company and its and their respective legal and accounting representatives shall not make any application to the ITA with respect to any matter relating to the 104H Tax Ruling, without granting Buyer’s Israel legal counsel the opportunity to review, comment on and approve the draft application in advance (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and the Electing Holders, the Company and its and their respective legal and accounting representatives will inform Buyer’s Israel legal counsel in advance of the content of, and enable Buyer’s Israel legal counsel to participate in, all material discussions and meetings with the ITA relating thereto. To the extent that Buyer’s Israel legal counsel elects not to participate in any such meeting or discussion, the Electing Holders, the Company and its and their respective legal and accounting representatives shall provide Buyer’s Israel legal counsel with an update of the discussions or meetings held with the ITA. The text of the applications for, filing relating to, and the final text of the 104H Tax Ruling, shall be subject to the prior written confirmation of Buyer or its Israel legal counsel, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the 104H Tax Ruling shall be received and delivered to the Paying Agent prior to the applicable withholding date, and no later than five Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, then the provisions of the 104H Tax Ruling, shall apply and all applicable withholding procedures with respect to any Electing Holders shall be made in accordance with Section 104H of the Israel Tax Ordinance, and the provisions of the 104H Tax Ruling . All expenses related to the issuance of the 104H Ruling shall be borne by the Company.

3.     Adjustment to Exercise Price

 

3.1.          Estimated Closing Statement. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Option Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Investor a written statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), setting forth the Company’s good-faith estimates of (i) the Determining Revenues, (ii) the Net Debt/Cash Position, (iii) the Company Exit Bonuses, in each case calculated as of the Option Closing Date and in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement, and (iv) the resulting calculation of the Exercise Price to be paid at the Option Closing. The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with US generally acceptable accounting principles, using the same accounting principles, practices, procedures, and policies used to prepare the Company’s annual audited financial statements last published prior to the date of the Exercise Notice (the “Accounting Principles” or “GAAP”). In the event the Company believes that the Company Enterprise Value would not be greater than the applicable Minimum Call Option EV it shall so notify the Investor, and in such event, the Company shall not be required to provide a calculation of Determining Revenues, and the Determining Revenues shall not be subject to further review or reference by any Party, including in connection with any Draft Closing Statement or any Objection Notice.

 

3.2.          Determination of Final Closing Statement.

 

3.2.1.      As soon as reasonably practicable and no later than 90 days after the Option Closing Date (the “Draft Closing Statement Deadline”), the Investor shall deliver to the Representative a written statement (the “Draft Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of (i) the actual Determining Revenues (if relevant) and Net Debt/Cash Position as of the Option Closing Date, and (ii) the resulting calculation of the Adjusted Exercise Price, or an acceptance statement of the Estimated Closing Statement (the “Buyer Acceptance Statement”). The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with definitions used herein and the Accounting Principles.

 

  11  

3.2.2.      Review and Objections. Promptly upon delivery of the Draft Closing Statement, the Investor shall provide the Representative and its representatives with reasonable access to the working papers and supporting materials used in its preparation and applicable personnel of the Company. The Representative shall have 30 Business Days following receipt of the Draft Closing Statement (the “Examination Period”) to review and either accept the Draft Closing Statement (the “Acceptance Notice”) or deliver to the Investor a written notice of objections (an “Objection Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the items disputed and the grounds for such dispute. Failure to deliver an Objection Notice within the Examination Period shall constitute the Representative’s acceptance of the Draft Closing Statement.

 

3.2.3.      Resolution of Disputes. If an Objection Notice is timely delivered, the Investor and the Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed items. If they are unable to resolve all disputed items within fifteen (15) Business Days following delivery of the Objection Notice, either Party may refer the remaining unresolved items (and only those) set forth in the Objection Notice (the “Unresolved Objections”) to one of the Big Four accounting firms in Israel or such other independent accounting firm, as agreed between the Investor and the Representative (the “Independent Accountant”). Each of Buyer and the Representative shall promptly, but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days following the referral of the Unresolved Objections to the Independent Accountant, prepare a written statement describing their respective positions with respect to the Unresolved Objections, which, together with the relevant documents, will be submitted to the Independent Accountant for review and final determination (“Written Statement”). Following submission of any Unresolved Objections to the Independent Accountant, Buyer and the Representative shall furnish the Independent Accountant with such information and documents as the Independent Accountant may reasonably request in order to resolve the Unresolved Objections. For the avoidance of doubt, the review of the Independent Accountant will be limited to the Unresolved Objections. The Independent Accountant shall determine its calculation of the Unresolved Objections in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement and the Accounting Principles and may not deviate from the positions taken by each party’s Written Statement. Within ten (10) days after the date of receipt of the last Written Statement, the Independent Accountant shall make a determination as to the resolution of the Unresolved Objections and shall issue a written ruling of such resolution, which shall include an illustration of all adjustments (which for the avoidance of doubt shall only be related to the Unresolved Objections) to the Draft Closing Statement based on any resolutions to objections agreed upon by Buyer and the Representative and pursuant to the Independent Accountant’s resolution of the Unresolved Objections. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination only as to the Unresolved Objections and shall not decide any specific items not under dispute and its determination as to the Unresolved Objections shall be within the range of values assigned to each such disputed item in the Draft Closing Statement and the Objection Notice, respectively.

 

3.2.4.      The Independent Accountant shall act as an expert (not an arbitrator), shall be instructed to resolve only those matters in dispute in accordance with GAAP and the principles set forth herein, and shall render its decision as promptly as practicable. The Final Closing Statement shall be conclusive, non-appealable and binding upon Buyer and the Representative, absent manifest error or fraud. Buyer and the Representative agree that the procedure set forth in this Section ‎3.2 for resolving disputes with respect to the Draft Closing Statement shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving such disputes and the Final Closing Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties; provided, that this provision shall not prohibit either Buyer or the Representative from instituting litigation to enforce the ruling of the Independent Accountant.

 

  12  

3.2.5.      The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated to and borne by Buyer and the Representative, on behalf of the Consideration Recipients, based on the inverse of the percentage that the Independent Accountant’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total Unresolved Objections originally submitted to the Independent Accountant. For example, should the Unresolved Objections total $1,000 and the Independent Accountant awards $600 in favor of the Representative’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the costs of its review would be borne by Buyer and forty percent (40%) of the costs would be borne by the Representative (on behalf of Consideration Recipients).

 

3.2.6.      Final Adjustment and Payments.

 

(a) If the Adjusted Exercise Price, as determined in the Final Closing Statement (as defined below), exceeds the Closing Purchase Price (as defined below), the Investor shall, no later than seven (7) Business Days following the final determination of the Adjusted Exercise Price: (i) promptly instruct the Paying Agent to release and disburse the Adjustment Escrow Amount (including the Deposited Shares, if any) to the Consideration Recipients in accordance with the allocation provided in the Payment Schedule and subject to the provisions of the Paying Agent & Escrow Agreement, and (ii) pay to the Paying Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds the amount of such excess for further distribution to the Consideration Recipients in accordance with the allocation provided in the Payment Schedule and subject to the provisions of the Paying Agent & Escrow Agreement.

 

(b) If the Adjusted Exercise Price is less than the Closing Purchase Price, then: (A) to the extent the difference is less than or equal to the Adjustment Escrow Amount, the Representative shall promptly instruct the Paying Agent to disburse to the Investor an amount equal to such difference (which shall be allocated ratably between the respective cash and Deposited Shares comprising the Adjustment Escrow Amount), and to release any remaining balance of the Adjustment Escrow Amount and the Deposited Shares (if any) to the Consideration Recipients in accordance with the allocation provided in the Payment Schedule and subject to the provisions of the Paying Agent & Escrow Agreement; and (b) to the extent the difference exceeds the Adjustment Escrow Amount, the Representative shall promptly instruct the Paying Agent to release the entire Adjustment Escrow Amount and the Deposited Shares (if any) to the Investor or in accordance with its instructions, and the Consideration Recipients shall, severally and not jointly, each in accordance with its pro rata percentage of the Consideration as set forth in the Payment Schedule, within five (5) Business Days of such instruction, pay to the Investor the remaining shortfall, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Investor.

 

  13  

(c) For the purposes of this Section ‎3.2, “Final Closing Statement” means and refers to: (i) the Estimated Closing Statement delivered by the Company to the extent Buyer provides a Buyer Acceptance Statement or fails to provide either a Buyer Acceptance Statement or a Draft Closing Statement by the Draft Closing Statement Deadline, (ii) the Draft Closing Statement delivered by Buyer if the Representative delivers to Buyer an Acceptance Notice or fails to deliver an Objection Notice by the lapse of the Examination Period; or (iii) the Draft Closing Statement as adjusted pursuant to the agreement between the Representative and the Investor and/or the Independent Accountant’s resolution of the Unresolved Objections; “Adjusted Exercise Price” means the Exercise Price as determined in the Final Closing Statement; and “Closing Purchase Price” means the aggregate Exercise Price paid at the Option Closing, including (i) any amount paid to the Representative ((including by deposit with the Paying Agent) for the benefit of the Sellers), and (ii) the Adjustment Escrow Amount deposited with the Paying Agent in accordance with Section ‎3.A. (including both cash and, if applicable, the value of any shares issued pursuant to Section ‎1.3.3).

 

(d) Any post-closing adjustment payments made under this Section 3.3 shall be treated as adjustments to the Exercise Price for all tax purposes.

 

3.2.7.      Company Exit Bonuses. To the extent the Company Exit Bonuses are not paid by the Paying Agent from the Closing Purchase Price, any amount of the Company Exit Bonuses directly paid or furnished by the Company to employees of the Company in cash or Deposited Shares, will be reduced from the cash or Deposited Shares to be transferred to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 above, and the dollar amount represented thereby shall be deemed as a payment of an equivalent amount of the Exercise Price. Where such payments are made directly by the Company, the Company may withhold two and a half percent (2.5%) of the applicable amount of Company Exit Bonuses so paid or payable, to be treated as a part of the Adjustment Escrow Amount due pursuant to Section 3.A. below, such amount to be treated in accordance with the terms of the Paying Agent & Escrow Agreement, mutatis mutandis.

 

3.2.8.      Treatment of Company Milestone Bonuses. Company Milestone Bonuses, to the extent paid, will be accounted for by reducing the Company’s Aggregate Cash as of the Option Closing Date.

 

3.2.9.      Treatment of Consideration between Consideration Recipients. As between the Consideration Recipients, for purpose of the allocation of Consideration between Consideration Recipients, the provisions of Articles 8.1.1.2 through 8.1.1.6 of the Amended Articles shall apply (thereby treating the acquisition by the Investor of the then outstanding equity interests of the Company hereunder as a Deemed Liquidation), where in such case the Distributable Proceeds (as defined in the Amended Articles) shall be deemed net of any Company Exit Bonuses that are paid.

 

3.A. Escrow. At the Option Closing, the Investor shall deposit into a separate escrow account maintained by the Paying Agent an amount equal to two and a half percent (2.5%) of the Exercise Price calculated based on the Estimated Closing Statement (the “Adjustment Escrow Amount”) for the purpose of satisfying any downward adjustment to the Exercise Price in favor of the Investor due to the calculation of Determining Revenues and/or Net Debt/Cash Position (as determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). The Adjustment Escrow Account shall be governed by the Paying Agent & Escrow Agreement.

 

  14  

4. The Representative

 

4.1.          Each of the Sellers hereby irrevocably appoints Behir Sabban, Adv, of Sabban Law Offices (together with any successor appointed pursuant to this Section, the “Representative”) as its sole representative, attorney-in-fact and agent with full power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of the Sellers with respect to this Agreement and the Paying Agent & Escrow Agreement and to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Representative under this Agreement or the Paying Agent & Escrow Agreement, including (a) receiving and giving notices and communications, (b) authorizing delivery of payments (including from the Adjustment Escrow Account) to the Sellers or to the Investor as appropriate, (c) agreeing to, negotiating, entering into settlements and compromises of, and otherwise administering and resolving disputes relating to the Adjustment Escrow Amount or the determination of the Exercise Price, and (d) engaging attorneys, accountants or other advisors as the Representative determines necessary or desirable. The Sellers acknowledge that the Representative is legal counsel to KT Squared, LLC, and nothing in his role as Representative, shall preclude him from continuing to advise KT Squared, LLC in that capacity.

 

4.2.          The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the Investor shall be entitled to rely on any action or decision of the Representative as being binding on all of the Sellers, and shall have no responsibility to determine whether the Representative is acting in accordance with the instructions of the Sellers. All decisions and actions by the Representative, including any agreement between the Representative and the Investor relating to the determination of the Exercise Price or the disbursement of the Adjustment Escrow Amount, shall be binding upon all Sellers as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by each of them.

 

4.3.          Each Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Representative, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact (the “Voting Proxy”), to vote all of such Seller’s Shares and to exercise all rights, powers and privileges of such Seller with respect to such Shares (including the right to act by written consent) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation in connection with any Company Acquisition (as defined below) or other resolution or action required to be approved by the Sellers or shareholders of the Company in order to effectuate the Option Closing. Each Seller agrees to take such further actions and to execute such further instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the foregoing. The grant of the Voting Proxy is coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy or liquidation of the Seller.

 

4.4.          The Representative (through deposit with the Paying Agent) shall be the sole party entitled to receive payment of the Exercise Price on behalf of the Sellers. The Investor shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the allocation, apportionment, or delivery of any amount received by the Representative to any Seller, and no Seller shall have any claim against the Investor in connection with any such distribution.

 

4.5.          The Representative may resign at any time, and may be removed for any reason or no reason by the vote or written consent of a majority in interest (the "Majority Sellers") of the Sellers according to each Sellers' pro rata share of all Shares held by the Sellers (“Seller’s Pro-rata Share”) ; provided, however, in no event shall Representative be removed without the Majority Sellers having first appointed a new Representative who shall assume such duties immediately upon the removal of Representative. In the event of the death, incapacity, resignation, or removal of Representative, a new Representative shall be appointed by the vote or written consent of the Majority Sellers, and if such appointment is not made within 30 days the Representative shall be KT Squared, LLC, until a successor Representative is appointed. Notice of such vote or a copy of the written consent appointing such new Representative shall be sent to Buyer, such appointment to be effective upon the later of the date indicated in such consent or the date such notice is received by Buyer; provided, that until such notice is received, Buyer shall be entitled to rely on the decisions and actions of the prior Representative as described above. If the Representative is dissolved, liquidated, ceases to exist, is declared bankrupt, enters into receivership or administration, resigns, or is otherwise unable or unwilling to act then the Majority Sellers may, by written notice to the Investor, appoint a successor Representative and if such appointment is not made within 30 days the Representative shall be KT Squared, LLC, until a successor Representative is appointed. Any such appointment shall be effective upon the delivery to the Investor of written notice of the appointment, together with a written acceptance of such appointment by the successor Representative. The removal of a Representative shall not be effective until such a successor has been duly appointed and accepted the role in writing.

 

  15  

4.6.          The Representative may rely upon any document or communication believed to be genuine and may assume any Person purporting to act on behalf of a Seller has been duly authorized. The Representative shall not be liable to the Sellers for actions taken pursuant to this Agreement or the Paying Agent & Escrow Agreement/any Transaction Document, except to the extent such actions shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted gross negligence or involved fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel, accountants and other professionals and experts retained by Representative shall be conclusive evidence of good faith). The Sellers shall severally and not jointly (in accordance with each Seller’s pro-rata share of the Consideration (less the amount of any Company Exit Bonuses paid or deducted therefrom)), indemnify and hold harmless Representative from and against, compensate it for, reimburse it for, and pay any and all losses, liabilities, claims, actions, damages, and expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, arising out of and in connection with its activities as Representative under this Agreement and the Paying Agent & Escrow Agreement/any Transaction Document (the "Representative Losses"), in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event it is finally adjudicated that a Representative Loss or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith of Representative, Representative shall reimburse the Sellers the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss attributable to such gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct, or bad faith. The Representative Losses shall be satisfied: (i) first from the Representative Expense Amount; and (ii) to the extent the amount of the Representative Losses exceeds amounts available to Representative from the Representative Expense Amount, from the Sellers, severally and not jointly (in accordance with each Seller’s pro-rata share of the Consideration (less the amount of any Company Exit Bonuses paid or deducted therefrom)). As soon as practicable after the date on which the final obligation of Representative under this Agreement and the Paying Agent & Escrow Agreement/any Transaction Document have been discharged or such other date as Representative deems appropriate, any remaining Representative Expense shall be released to the Consideration Recipients on a pro-rata basis between them (based on the portion of the Consideration each such Consideration Recipient is entitled to receive).

 

4.7.          The Sellers shall jointly bear the Representative’s costs and expenses (including professional advisor fees) incurred in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement, which may be paid directly from any amounts otherwise payable to Sellers, including from the Adjustment Escrow Account, and to the extent such amounts or not available or are insufficient, shall be paid by the Consideration Recipients on a pro-rata basis between them (based on the portion of the Consideration each such Consideration Recipient is entitled to receive). The Representative may withhold from, or cause to be deducted from, any amounts payable to the Sellers any amounts required to fund such expenses on a pro rata basis.

 

  16  

4.8.          The Representative may act through one or more individuals or officers as it may designate from time to time in writing to the Investor. The Investor shall be entitled to rely upon the actions or signatures of any such designated individual as though they were taken or given by the Representative itself. Without limiting the foregoing, Behir Sabban, Adv., and such other Persons as may be designated in writing by the Representative, are hereby authorized to act on behalf of the Representative, and the Investor may rely on any such act or deed as the valid act or deed of the Representative.

 

5. Treatment of Non-Signing Shareholders

 

5.1.          The Investor shall be obligated, upon exercise of the Call Option, to purchase all of the Option Purchased Securities which include all Shares held by the Grantors who are party to this Agreement and Vested Company Options, and the Shares held by Non-Signing Shareholders that are transferred pursuant to a Company Acquisition.

 

5.2.          Subject to the following sentence, the Investor shall have sole discretion as to whether to acquire all (but not less than all) the Shares held by any or all Non-Signing Shareholders at the Option Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor may, and upon the demand of the Majority Sellers, shall, elect to pursue such acquisition (i) through the exercise of drag-along rights pursuant to the Amended Articles or (ii) by causing the acquisition of all outstanding Shares of the Company by way of a reverse triangular merger under the Companies Law 5759–1999; provided that the foregoing shall not require the Representative, acting on behalf of the Sellers, to agree to any change in form that will result in a reduction in the amount of Consideration payable in the aggregate to the Sellers (each, a "Company Acquisition").

 

5.3.          The Sellers, in their capacity as shareholders of the Company, hereby irrevocably agree to vote (or cause to be voted) all Shares with respect to which such Sellers presently own or have voting power, and all Shares with respect to which such shareholders in the future acquire ownership or voting power (including through the exercise or conversion of any securities), at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company (including any class meetings), and in any action by written consent of the shareholders of the Company (or any class thereof), (i) in favor of the approval, consent, and ratification of the Company Acquisition by Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the exercise of any of shareholder’s rights under the Company’s constitutional documents to require all holders of Company share capital to sell such shares pursuant to an Acquisition, and (ii) against any action that would impede, interfere, or discourage any such Acquisition by Buyer, would facilitate an acquisition or change of control of the Company, in any manner, by a party other than Buyer. To the extent inconsistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3, each of the Sellers hereby irrevocably revokes any and all previous proxies with respect to any Shares that such shareholder owns or has the right to vote. Each Seller hereby irrevocably agrees not to demand, and hereby irrevocably waives, any and all rights to obtain payment of the fair value of its securities as afforded by statute, if any, or otherwise arising in connection with the approval, execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Seller and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the approval execution and delivery of any agreement in connection with the exercise by Buyer of the Acquisition, including with respect to consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby. Each Grantor irrevocably agrees, and irrevocably instructs the Representative to, vote in favor of, consent to, and otherwise take all actions reasonably requested by the Investor in order to effectuate any Company Acquisition, including any resolutions of the Board or shareholders of the Company required to approve or implement such transaction. Each such Grantor further agrees, and irrevocably instructs the Representative to execute any documentation reasonably requested by the Investor in connection with the foregoing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Investor.

 

  17  

5.4.          If the Shares held by Non-Signing Shareholders are not purchased by Investor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Shares shall remain outstanding and held by such shareholders, and no special rights, privileges or obligations shall attach to such Shares or to such shareholders by virtue of the Investor’s exercise of the Call Option or this Agreement.

 

5.5.          The Investor shall have no responsibility or liability of any kind to any Non-Signing Shareholder in connection with the exercise of the Call Option, including without limitation the amount, structure, or allocation of consideration paid or not paid to such shareholders.

 

5.6.          If, in connection with any Company Acquisition, any shareholder of the Company (other than the Grantors) validly asserts statutory appraisal rights or any similar rights under applicable law (a “Dissenting Shareholder”), and as a result thereof the Investor or the Company is required to pay to any such Dissenting Shareholder an amount in excess of the Exercise Price payable under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any interest, expenses, legal fees, or other costs), then: (a) the Grantors hereby irrevocably waive any claim for an upward adjustment to the Exercise Price or any other payment from the Investor in respect of any such appraisal rights or amounts paid to a Dissenting Shareholder; (b) the Investor shall be entitled to offset and deduct from the Exercise Price (including amounts payable to the Representative or any Grantor under the Adjustment Escrow Amount) any costs, expenses, payments or liabilities incurred or suffered in connection with the resolution or settlement of such appraisal or dissenters’ rights, including but not limited to legal fees, expert costs, court-awarded amounts or settlement payments; and (c) the Representative shall, upon the Investor’s instruction and without any requirement for further Seller consent, instruct the Paying Agent to release from the Adjustment Escrow Amount any such amounts owed to the Investor pursuant to clause (b), and any remaining balance in the Adjustment Escrow Account shall be distributed in accordance with Section 3.2.6.

 

6. Representations and Warranties of the Grantors

 

Each Grantor, severally and not jointly, and solely with respect to itself, hereby represents and warrants to the Investor, as of the date hereof and as of the Option Closing Date, as follows (provided that representations relating to accredited investor status shall apply only to those Grantors who are accredited investors):

 

6.1.          Authorization; Capacity; No Conflicts. Each Grantor has full power, capacity and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. If such Grantor is not an individual, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate or equivalent power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Grantor and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Grantor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any breach or violation of, or default under, (a) any law applicable to such Grantor, (b) any judgment, order or decree of any governmental authority binding on such Grantor, or (c) any agreement, contract or instrument to which such Grantor is a party or by which it or its assets are bound.

 

  18  

6.2.          Title to Option Purchased Securities. Such Grantor is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Option Purchased Securities set forth opposite its name in Schedule ‎A, free and clear of any Encumbrances (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any transfer restrictions under the Articles or under applicable law, save for those that will be released or waived at or prior to the Option Closing in accordance with this Agreement). Upon delivery of the share transfer deeds at the Option Closing in accordance with this Agreement, the Investor will acquire full legal and beneficial title to such Option Purchased Securities, Free and Clear.

 

6.3.          No Other Rights. Except as set forth in the Amended Articles, such Grantor is not a party to, or bound by, any option, warrant, call, subscription agreement, voting trust, proxy, pledge agreement, rights of first refusal, co-sale rights, or any other contract, agreement or understanding (whether written or oral) that requires or permits the sale, transfer, pledge, assignment or other disposition of any Option Purchased Securities (or any interest therein) to any Person other than the Investor, or that could require such Grantor to vote or transfer any Option Purchased Securities in any particular manner.

 

6.4.          No Proceedings. There is no action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration, investigation or other legal proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of such Grantor, threatened against such Grantor with respect to the Option Purchased Securities or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor is there any judgment, order or decree outstanding against such Grantor that would affect such Grantor’s performance hereunder or the transfer of the Option Purchased Securities.

 

6.5.          No Finder’s Fees. No Person or entity is entitled to any brokerage, financial advisory, finder’s or similar fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of such Grantor.

 

6.6.          Solely to the extent that the payment of the Exercise Price includes Equity Consideration, then the following representations shall apply as of the Option Closing:

 

6.6.1.     Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Shares composing the Equity Consideration (the “Purchased Securities”) will be acquired for investment for the Seller's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Seller has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. The Seller does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement to sell, transfer or grant participation rights to any person with respect to any of the Purchased Securities. The Seller has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Purchased Securities.

 

6.6.2.     Investment Experience; Accredited Investor; Non-U.S. Person. Each Grantor is a sophisticated, experienced investor in securities of companies in similar stage as the Buyer acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating and understanding the merits and risks of the investment in the Purchased Securities. Each Grantor is either (i) an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, (ii) a Non U.S. Person as defined under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. To the extent that a Grantor is a non U.S. Person, such Grantor (x) is not acquiring Purchased Securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person, (y) is not, at the time of execution of this Agreement, and will not be, at the time of the Option Closing, in the United States and (z) is not a “distributor” (as defined in Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act).

 

  19  

6.6.3.     Restricted Securities. The Purchased Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be resold unless they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available. Seller is aware that, except as set forth in Section 11.1 below, the Company is under no obligation to effect any such registration or to file for or comply with any exemption from registration. The sale and issuance of the Purchased Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from registration which depends upon, among other things, the accuracy of the Seller's representations as expressed herein.

 

6.6.4.     Legends. The Purchased Securities may be notated with the following or a similar legend as well as other legends as may be required by applicable securities laws: “THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO TRANSFER OF SUCH SHARES MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”

8. Certain Covenants of the Company and the Grantors.

 

8.1.          Issuance of Shares. The Company undertakes and covenants (and the Grantors undertake to apply all of their voting power in the Company to cause the Company to comply with such undertakings and covenants) that, from the date hereof until the Call Option Termination Date, any issuance of Shares or of any convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities (including options, warrants, or other instruments exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for Shares), by the Company shall be expressly conditioned upon the recipient of such Shares or other securities becoming a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering a joinder or counterpart hereto in form and substance satisfactory to the Investor, thereby becoming subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a “Grantor” with respect to the Shares so issued or issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such other securities.

  21  

8.2.          No Transfers. Each Grantor severally and not jointly, further covenants that, except as may be required to give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby or with the prior written consent of the Investor (and subject to the conditions determined by it), it shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of its Shares or any interest therein, nor create any Encumbrance thereon, nor enter into any agreement to do any of the foregoing, prior to the earlier of the Option Closing or 11:59 PM and 59 seconds (Israel time) on the Call Option Termination Date, if no Exercise Notice has been provided by the Investor prior to such time.

 

8.3.          Further Assurances. The Company, the Grantors, the Representative and the Investor shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or desirable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any resignation of the Representative, the power of attorney provided in this Section 8.4 shall remain in effect and may not be transferred to any successor Representative without the written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon payment of the Exercise Price to such Grantor in the manner provided for in this Agreement, the Investor shall be deemed to have obtained a good discharge for such payment. The Representative shall have no liability to any Grantor or third party for actions taken pursuant to this power of attorney, and each Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Representative from any claims, losses, or expenses arising from the Representative’s exercise of this power of attorney, except in cases of the Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally adjudicated by a court.

 

  22  

8.5. Release. Each Grantor, on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Affiliates, representatives, heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Grantor Releasing Parties”), hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably releases and forever discharges the Company and its present and former Affiliates, successors and assigns, and their respective representatives, shareholders, members and partners (collectively, the “Company Released Parties”), with effect as of the Option Closing (and conditioned upon the consummation thereof), from any and all claims, causes of action, legal proceedings, liabilities, losses, costs, reimbursements, damages (whether for compensatory, special, incidental or punitive damages, equitable relief or otherwise), demands, recoveries, indemnities and obligations of any kind, whether in law, equity or otherwise, whether known or unknown, whether concealed or hidden, whether disclosed or undisclosed, whether contingent or absolute, whether liquidated or unliquidated, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, whether foreseen or unforeseen, whether anticipated or unanticipated, whether suspected or unsuspected and whether arising by operation of law or otherwise, which such Grantor Releasing Parties ever have had, or ever may have in the future, against the Company Released Parties and which are based on acts, events or omissions occurring up to and including the Option Closing (the “Released Claims”).

12.6.       Severability. In the event one or more of the provisions of this Agreement should, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Furthermore, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the portion of this Agreement containing any provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

 

12.7.       Expenses. Except as expressly set forth herein, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

12.8.       Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are unique and that any breach of this Agreement may cause irreparable harm to the non-breaching Party for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy.

Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the surrender of the certificate or submission of the affidavit of loss of the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to be converted, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Ordinary Shares as of such date. In the case of conversion pursuant to Article 8.2.1.2, such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the occurrence of any of the events listed in Article 8.2.1.2 and subject to the actual occurrence of such event, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Ordinary Shares as of such date; once again provided that the event does actually occur.

In the case of the issuance of Additional Securities for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received therefor after deducting from such cash amount any discounts, finder’s fees or underwriting commissions paid or incurred by the Company in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.

 

8.2.2.4. In the case of the issuance of Additional Securities for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof, as shall be determined in accordance with Article 8.1.4 above.

 

8.2.2.5. In the case of the issuance of warrants or options to purchase, or rights to subscribe for, Additional Securities, or securities which by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for Additional Securities or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities (collectively, “Options”), the Additional Securities deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including without limitation the passage of time, but without taking into account potential anti-dilution adjustments), conversion or exchange, as the case may be, of such Options, shall be deemed to have been issued at the time of issuance of such Options at a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in Articles 8.2.3.3 and 8.2.3.4), if any, received by the Company for such Options upon the issuance of such Options plus any additional consideration payable to the Company pursuant to the terms of such Options (without taking into account potential anti-dilution adjustments) for the Additional Securities covered thereby; provided, however, that if any Options as to which an adjustment to the Conversion Price has been made pursuant to this Article 8.2.3.5 expire without having been exercised, then the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such Options had not been issued (without any effect, however, on adjustments to the Conversion Price as a result of other events described in this Article); provided that no such readjustment shall have the effect of increasing the applicable Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the applicable Conversion Price that would have resulted from other issuances of Additional Securities after the time of issuance of such Options had such Options not been issued.

8.2.3. Recapitalization Event. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a Recapitalization Event (other than any actions under Article 8.2.2), and other than a Liquidation, Distribution of Dividends or Deemed Liquidation under Article 8.1), provision shall be made so that the Preferred Shareholders shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the number of Ordinary Shares or other securities or property of the Company or otherwise, to which a holder of Ordinary Shares deliverable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares would have become entitled to as a result of the Recapitalization Event had the Preferred Shares been converted to Ordinary Shares immediately prior to such Recapitalization Event. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of these Articles with respect to the rights of the Preferred Shareholders after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of these Articles (including adjustment, if necessary, of the Original Issue Price and the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares) shall be applicable after that event as equivalent to the manner in which they were applicable prior to such event as may be practicable.

The Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of Ordinary Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a Preferred Share.

8.2.6. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares, such number of its Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Preferred Shares, then the Company will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

 

8.3. No Impairment. The Company will not through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 8.

Shares; Pre-emptive Rights

 

9. Subject to the provisions of these Articles, including for the avoidance of any doubt, Articles 140 and 141, the unissued shares of the Company shall be at the disposal of the Board who may offer, allot, grant options or otherwise dispose of shares to such Persons, at such times and upon such terms and conditions as the Company may by resolution of the Board determine.

 

10. Subject to the provisions of these Articles, including for the avoidance of any doubt, Articles 140 and 141, the Company may issue shares having the same rights as the existing shares, or having preferred or deferred rights, or rights of redemption, or restricted rights, or any other special right in respect of dividend distributions, voting, appointment or dismissal of directors, return of share capital, distribution of Company’s property, or otherwise, all as determined by the Company from time to time, subject to the provisions of these Articles. The Company may convert any part of the issued shares to deferred shares.

 

11. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and these Articles, the Company may issue redeemable shares and redeem them, provided, however, that the Preferred Shares shall enjoy similar redemption rights (if granted), unless otherwise agreed by (A) the Preferred B Majority and (B) the Preferred S Majority.

 

12. Until an IPO, each Shareholder who holds at least 3% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company on an as-converted basis (each a “Major Holder”) and BWAY (so long as it holds the Special Share or any Shares issued under the BWAY Investment Agreement or issuable upon conversion of the Principal Amount), who shall be deemed a Major Holder for all purposes of these Articles; (provided, however, that BWAY (and any of its Affiliates or transferees) shall not be considered a Major Holder under these Articles for any purpose, if it is a Defaulting Investor with respect to the Second Principal Amount) (an “Offeree”) shall have a preemptive right with respect to any issuance of Additional Securities by the Company at the offering price, in accordance with the following terms:

 

12.1.    Each Major Holder shall have the pre-emptive right to purchase up to its Pro Rata Portion (calculated as of the date of the Pre-emption Notice) of any issuance of Additional Securities. "Pro Rata Portion" shall mean the ratio of (a) the number of outstanding shares of the Company which such Offeree holds immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Securities (including, in the case of BWAY, all Shares issuable upon conversion of the portion of the outstanding Principal Amount then invested under the BWAY Investment Agreement (the “Invested Principal Amount”)), on an as converted basis, to (b) the total number of all outstanding shares of the Company held by all Shareholders (including all Shares issuable upon conversion of the Invested Principal Amount), on an as converted basis, immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities (the “Pro Rata Portion”). Each Major Holder (other than BWAY to the extent it is a Defaulting Investor) shall have a right of over-allotment, such that if any Major Holder does not elect to exercise its pre-emptive rights hereunder to purchase its Pro Rata Portion of the Additional Securities, each Major exercising its preemptive rights hereunder may purchase such non-purchasing Major Holder’s portion (the "Major Holder Over-Allotment"). If the Major Holder Over-Allotment is oversubscribed by the Major Holder exercising their pre-emptive rights hereunder, then any such Major Holder Over-Allotment to be made among the Major Holders shall be made on a pro rata basis such that an exercising Major Holder's pro rata portion of the Major Holder Over-Allotment shall be the ratio of the total number of shares of the Company then held by such exercising Major Holder, to the sum of the total number of shares held by all of the Major Holders exercising their Major Holder Over-Allotment rights hereunder.

 

 

- 21 -

 

12.2. If the Company proposes to issue Additional Securities, it shall give each Major Holder a written notice thereof of its intention to do so, describing the Additional Securities it proposes to issue, the price of each Additional Security, the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue them, and the number of Additional Securities that each Major Holder has the right to purchase (the "Pre-emption Notice"). Each Major Holder shall have seven (7) Business Days from the date of delivery of the Pre-emption Notice to it (the "Pre-emption Period"), to agree to purchase all or any part of its Pro Rata Portion of such Additional Securities, including any such Additional Securities in the Major Holder Over-Allotment, by giving written notice to the Company setting forth the quantity of the Additional Securities to be purchased by it.

 

12.3. Following the consummation of the preemptive procedure detailed above, the Additional Securities shall be sold under the terms specified in the Pre-emption Notices, pursuant to the acceptances and the allocations detailed above. To the extent the Major Holders fail to exercise in full the pre-emptive right, together with any Major Holder Over-Allotment, within the Pre-emption Period, then the Company shall have one hundred (100) days after the delivery of the Pre-emption Notice to sell the un-sold Additional Securities at a price and upon general terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Pre-emption Notices. If the Company has not sold the un-sold Additional Securities within said one hundred (100) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell such un-sold Additional Securities without first re-offering them to the Major Holders in the manner provided above.

 

12.4. An Offeree may assign its right under this Article 12 to a Permitted Transferee.

 

12.5. If the offer to Shareholders under this Article 12 may constitute an offer to the public under applicable laws which is subject to prospectus requirements then such offer shall be limited to (i) the type of offerees the offering to which is exempted from such prospectus requirement, and (ii) to such limited number of Shareholders with the highest holdings in the Company (aggregating holdings of Permitted Transferees for the purpose of calculating the Shareholders with the highest holdings; provided that such Permitted Transferees shall be considered as separate entities to the extent viewed as such by applicable law; and further provided that the transfers to such Permitted Transferees were not made for the purpose of increasing the number of entities that are Permitted Transferees of the original transferring Shareholder(s) eligible to participate in the offer to Shareholders under this Article 12), not including and in addition to the offerees under paragraph (i), the offering to which is exempted from such prospectus requirement.

 

  13. Subject to Articles 8.2, 12 and 140, the Company may issue from time to time options, warrants, other rights to subscribe for instruments convertible into, or exchangeable for shares of the Company, the terms and conditions of which shall be determined by the Board in accordance with these Articles.
     
14. The Company shall not be bound to recognize any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share or any other right whatsoever in any share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder.

 

15. If two or more Persons are registered as joint holders of a share:

 

 

- 22 -

 

15.1. They shall be jointly and severally liable for any calls or any other liability with respect to such share. However, with respect to voting, powers of attorney and furnishing of notices, the one registered first in the Register shall be deemed to be the sole owner of the share unless all the registered joint holders notify the Company in writing to treat another one of them as the sole owner of the share.

 

15.2. Each one of them shall be permitted to give receipts binding all the joint holders for dividends or other moneys or property received from the Company in connection with the share and the Company shall be permitted to pay all the dividend or other moneys or property due with respect to the share to one or more of the joint holders, as it shall choose.

 

16. Share certificates shall bear the signature of one director, or of any other person or persons authorized thereto by the Board. Each Shareholder shall be entitled to one numbered certificate for all the shares of any series registered in his or its name, and if the Board so approves, to several certificates, each for one or more of such shares. Each certificate shall specify the serial numbers of the shares represented thereby. A share certificate registered in the names of two or more persons shall be delivered to the person first named in the Register. If a share certificate is defaced, lost or destroyed, it may be replaced, upon payment of such fee, and upon the furnishing of such evidence of ownership and such indemnity, as the Board may deem fit.

 

Drag Along

 

17. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and Articles 140, 141, and 142, until the consummation of a QIPO, if (i) a bona fide offer from any Person (including, BWAY (its successors and assigns) pursuant to the exercise of the Call Option) (the “Third Party”) is made to effect a Deemed Liquidation (a “Proposed Transaction”), and (ii) (A) the Preferred B Majority, and (B) subject to Article 143 below (Call-option Carveout) the holder of the Special Share or the Preferred S Majority, provide their affirmative consent to such Proposed Transaction (the “Proposing Shareholders”), then such decision shall be binding upon the Company and all remaining Shareholders (the “Remaining Shareholders”) will be required, if so demanded in writing by the Proposing Shareholders (the “Drag Along Notice”), to sell all of their Shares to such Third Party, or vote to approve the terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction.

 

17.1. At every meeting of the Shareholders of the Company called with respect to any of the following, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the shareholders of the Company with respect to any of the following, the Remaining Shareholders shall vote all Shares of the Company that such Remaining Shareholders then hold or for which such Remaining Shareholders otherwise then have voting power: (A) in favor of approval of the Proposed Transaction and any matter that could reasonably be expected to facilitate the Proposed Transaction; and (B) against any proposal for any recapitalization, merger, sale of assets or other business combination (other than the Proposed Transaction) between the Company and any Person other than the party or parties to the Proposed Transaction or any other action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the definitive agreement(s) related to the Proposed Transaction or which could result in any of the conditions to the Company's obligations under such agreement(s) not being fulfilled, in each case unless otherwise determined by the Proposing Shareholders. In any event the Proposed Transaction is brought to a vote at a shareholders meeting, any Shareholder who shall have failed to vote in favor of such Proposed Transaction, shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to such person as shall be designated by the Board to vote for the acceptance of such Proposed Transaction.

 

17.2. Each Remaining Shareholder shall take all necessary actions in connection with the consummation of the Proposed Transaction as requested by the Company or the Proposing Shareholders and shall, if requested by the Proposing Shareholders, execute and deliver any agreements and instruments prepared in connection with such Proposed Transaction which agreements are executed by the Proposing Shareholders and shall waive any dissenting minority or similar rights in connection with such Proposed Transaction.

 

 

- 23 -

 

17.3. Upon receipt of the Drag Along Notice, each Remaining Shareholder shall be obligated to sell all of its shares, or vote to approve such Proposed Transaction, notwithstanding any other no sale right, first refusal rights or other rights, and the proceeds of such Proposed Transaction shall be distributed among all Shareholders in accordance with the liquidation preference provisions set forth in Article 8.1 above.

 

17.4. At the closing of the Proposed Transaction (which place, date and time shall be designated by the Proposing Shareholders and provided to each of the Remaining Shareholders at least 5 days in advance), each such Remaining Shareholder shall deliver certificates evidencing all of its shares, duly endorsed or accompanied by written instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Third Party, duly executed by such Remaining Shareholder, against delivery of the purchase price therefore.

 

17.5. In the event that a Remaining Shareholder fails to surrender its certificate or an affidavit of a lost certificate, in a form acceptable to the Board, in connection with the consummation of a Proposed Transaction, such certificate shall be deemed cancelled and the Company shall be authorized to issue a new certificate in the name of the Remaining Shareholder and the Board of Directors shall be authorized to establish an escrow account, for the benefit of such Remaining Shareholder into which the consideration for such securities represented by such cancelled certificate shall be deposited and to appoint a trustee to administer such account.

 

17.6. Anything in these Articles to the contrary notwithstanding, the General Meeting shall, if requested by the Proposing Shareholders, assume the power and authority of the Board to discuss and approve, for all intents and purposes, the Proposed Transaction on behalf of the Company, effective as of the time on which the written consent of the Proposing Shareholders shall have been received by the Company.

 

17.7. In the event that the Proposing Shareholders consent to the Proposed Transaction, any sale or other transfer, assignment or conveyance of shares by the Shareholders, other than pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, shall be absolutely prohibited.

 

17.8. Each Shareholder recognizes and accepts that the powers granted to the Company or the Board as set forth in this Article 17 are granted in order to ensure and protect the rights of the other Shareholders and that therefore, such powers, upon the use thereof shall be irrevocable with respect to such matter or action with respect to which the Board has exercised such powers.

 

17.9. With respect to Section 341 of the Companies Law, the Shareholders specifically agree to amend the provisions set forth therein in the following manner:

 

17.9.1. the threshold set forth in Section 341 shall mean the Proposing Shareholders threshold set forth in Article 17 (ii).

 

17.9.2. the parties acknowledge that the application of the distribution preference provisions set forth in Article 8.1 shall not be deemed to mean that the Shareholders are offered different treatment or terms in the Proposed Transaction (even if certain Proposing Shareholders will receive consideration and benefits that other Shareholders will not receive).

 

17.9.3. the parties agree that the timeframe set forth in Section 341(a) for accepting the Proposed Transaction by the Proposing Shareholders shall not be limited to the time frame specified in the aforementioned provision.

 

 

- 24 -

 

17.9.4. the parties agree that the notices that should be sent by the Third Party according to the provisions set forth in Section 341(a) and 341(c) (each a “341 Notice”) may be sent by either the Third Party or the Company and the time frame set forth in the aforementioned provisions for sending each of the 341 Notices shall not be limited to the time frame specified therein.

 

17.9.5. the parties agree that Section 341(d) should not be interpreted or construed in a manner which limits the Shareholders' power only to the amendment of the threshold set forth in Section 341(a), by allowing to lower the eighty percent (80%) threshold required by the Companies Law to the threshold contemplated in these Articles, but also to amend any procedural and other terms set forth under Section 341, and therefore the terms set forth herein are to supersede the provisions of Section 341.

 

17.9.6. For the purposes of this Article 17, if the Proposed Transaction is in the form of a: (i) merger, when computing the Proposing Shareholders threshold, the provisions of Section 320(c) of the Companies Law shall apply; and (ii) share purchase agreement, in the event the Third Party is a Shareholder, or is a Person, which, directly or indirectly, controls, or is under common control with a Shareholder, the said Shareholder shall be considered to be an "Interested Shareholder" and as such, shall not be included in calculating the Proposing Shareholders threshold.

 

17.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Remaining Shareholder will not be required to comply with the requirements of this Article 17 in connection with any Proposed Transaction unless:

 

17.10.1. any representations and warranties to be made by such Remaining Shareholder in connection with the Proposed Transaction are limited to representations and warranties related to authority, ownership and the ability to convey title to such Shares, including but not limited to representations and warranties that (i) the Remaining Shareholder holds all right, title and interest in and to the Shares such Remaining Shareholder purports to hold, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, (ii) the obligations of the Remaining Shareholder in connection with the transaction have been duly authorized, if applicable, (iii) the documents to be entered into by the Remaining Shareholder have been duly executed by the Remaining Shareholder and delivered to the acquirer and are enforceable against the Remaining Shareholder in accordance with their respective terms and (iv) neither the execution and delivery of documents to be entered into in connection with the transaction, nor the performance of the Remaining Shareholder’s obligations thereunder, will cause a breach or violation of the terms of any agreement, law or judgment, order or decree of any court or governmental agency;

 

17.10.2. the Remaining Shareholder shall not be liable for the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by any other Person in connection with the Proposed Transaction, other than the Company (except to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breach by any Remaining Shareholder of any of identical representations, warranties and covenants provided by all Shareholders);

 

 

- 25 -

 

17.10.3. the liability for indemnification, if any, of such Remaining Shareholder in the Proposed Transaction and for the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by the Company in connection with such Proposed Transaction, is several and not joint with any other Person (except to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breach by any Shareholder of any of identical representations, warranties and covenants provided by all Shareholders), and is pro rata in proportion to the amount of consideration paid to such Remaining Shareholder in connection with such Proposed Transaction (in accordance with the provisions of the Articles); and

 

17.10.4. liability of such Remaining Shareholder shall be limited to such Remaining Shareholder's applicable share (determined based on the respective proceeds payable to each Shareholder in connection with such Proposed Transaction in accordance with the provisions of the Articles) of a negotiated aggregate indemnification amount that applies equally to all Shareholders but that in no event exceeds the amount of consideration otherwise payable to such Remaining Shareholder in connection with such Proposed Transaction, except with respect to claims related to fraud by such Remaining Shareholder, the liability for which need not be limited as to such Remaining Shareholder.

 

17.11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if BWAY exercises the Call Option pursuant to the Call Option Agreement and elects, in accordance with such agreement, to consummate a Company Acquisition (as defined therein), then such Company Acquisition shall be deemed a Proposed Transaction for purposes of this Article 17. In such event, the execution of the Call Option Agreement by the Grantors (as defined therein) shall be deemed to constitute the affirmative consent required under Article 17 (ii), and each such Grantor shall be deemed a Proposing Shareholder for purposes of this Article 17, without any further action or consent required. The provisions of this Article 17 shall apply mutatis mutandis to effect the transfer of all Shares to BWAY, and each Shareholder shall take all actions required to facilitate the consummation of such Company Acquisition, including voting in favor thereof and executing all relevant agreements and instruments, as further provided in the Call Option Agreement.

 

17.12. Without derogating from Article 17.11 above, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, each Shareholder hereby (i) irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert any appraisal rights, dissenters’ rights, or similar claims under applicable law in connection with any Proposed Transaction that constitutes a Company Acquisition pursuant to the Call Option Agreement, (ii) agrees that any and all costs, expenses or liabilities incurred by the Investor or the Company, in accordance with the Call Option Agreement and in connection with any such rights asserted by non-signing Shareholders (including legal fees, settlement payments, or judgment amounts) may be deducted from the consideration payable to such Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of the Call Option Agreement, and (iii) acknowledges and agrees that no such event shall give rise to any claim for increased consideration or other compensation from the Investor or the Company.

 

Lien

 

18. The Company shall have a lien and first pledge on every Share that was not paid up in full, in respect of money due to the Company on calls for payment or payable at fixed times, whether or not presently payable, or the fulfillment and performance of the obligations and commitments to which the Company is entitled in respect of the Share. The lien on a Share shall also apply to Dividends and other distributions payable on it. The directors may exempt any Share, in full or in part, temporarily or permanently, from the provisions of this Article.

 

 

- 26 -

 

19. The Company may sell any Share on which it has a lien in any manner the Board sees fit, but such Share shall not be sold before the date of payment of the amount in respect of which the lien exists, or the date of fulfillment and performance of the obligations and commitments in consideration of which the lien exists, has arrived, and until fourteen (14) days have passed after written notice has been given to the registered holder at that time of the Share, or to whoever is entitled to it upon the registered owner’s death or bankruptcy, demanding payment of the amount against which the lien exists, or the fulfillment and performance of the obligations and commitments in consideration of which the lien exists, and such payment or fulfillment and performance have not been made.

 

20. The net proceeds of the sale shall be applied in payment of the amount due to the Company for the fulfillment and performance of the obligations and commitments as aforesaid in the preceding Article, and the remainder, if any, shall be paid to whoever is entitled to the Share on the day of the sale, subject to a lien on amounts the date of payment of which has not yet arrived, similar to the lien on the Share before its sale.

 

21. After the execution of a sale of pledged Shares as aforesaid, the Board shall be permitted to sign or to appoint someone to sign a deed of transfer of the sold Shares and to register the purchaser’s name in the Register as the owner of the Shares so sold, and it shall not be the obligation of the buyer to supervise the application of the purchase price nor will his right in the Shares be affected by any fault or error in the procedure of sale. The sole remedy of one who has been aggrieved by the sale shall be in damages only and against the Company exclusively.

 

Calls for Payment

 

22. With respect to Shares not fully paid for according to their terms of issuance, a Shareholder, whether he is the sole holder of Shares or holds the Shares together with another Person, shall not be entitled to receive Dividends nor any other right a Shareholder has unless he has paid all the calls by the Company which shall have been made from time to time.

 

23. Subject to any contractual undertakings of the Company, the Board may make calls for payment from Shareholders of the amount not yet paid up on their Shares as the Board shall see fit, provided that the Company gives the Shareholders prior notice of at least fourteen (14) days on every call and that the date for payment set forth in such notice be not less than one month after the last call for payment. Each Shareholder shall pay the amount called to the Company on the date and at the place prescribed in the Company’s notice.

 

24. The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay the calls for payment on such Share in full.

 

25. If the amount called is not paid by the prescribed date, the Person from whom it is due shall be liable to pay such index linkage differentials and interest as the Board shall determine, from the date on which payment was prescribed until the day on which it is paid, but the Board may forego the payment of such linkage differentials or interest, in whole or in part.

 

26. Any amount that, according to the conditions of issuance of a Share, must be paid at the time of issuance or at a fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium, shall be deemed for the purposes of these Articles to be a call for payment that was duly made. In the event of non-payment of such amount all the provisions of these Articles shall apply in respect of such amount as if a proper call for its payment had been made and an appropriate notice thereof given.

 

  27. At the time of issuance of Shares the Board may make arrangements that differentiate between Shareholders, in respect of the amounts of calls for payment, their dates of payment or the rate of interest.
     
28. The Board may, if it thinks fit, accept from any Shareholder for his Shares any amount of money the payment of which has not yet been called and paid, and to pay him (i) interest for that advance until the day on which payment of that amount would have been due had he not paid it in advance, at a rate agreed between the Company and such Shareholder, and (ii) any Dividends that may be paid for that part of the Shares for which the Shareholder has paid in advance.

If a Shareholder fails to pay any call or installment of a call on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Board may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or installment remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or installment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses that were incurred as a result of such non-payment.

 

30. The notice shall specify a date not less than seven (7) days from the date of the notice, on or before which the payment of the call or installment or part thereof is to be made together with interest and any expenses incurred as a result of such non-payment. The notice shall also state the place the payment is to be made and that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed, the Share in respect of which the call was made will be liable to forfeiture.

 

31. If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any Share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect.

 

32. The forfeiture shall apply to those Dividends that were declared but not yet distributed with respect to the forfeited Shares.

 

33. A Share so forfeited shall be deemed to be the property of the Company and can be sold or otherwise disposed of, on such terms and in such manner as the Board thinks fit. At any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be canceled on such terms as the Board thinks fit.

 

34. A Person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited Shares, but shall nevertheless remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which, at the date of forfeiture, were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of the Shares, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company receives payment in full of the nominal amount of the Shares.

 

35. The forfeiture of a Share shall cause, at the time of forfeiture, the cancellation of all rights in the Company and of any claim or demand against the Company with respect to that Share, and of other rights and obligations between the Share owner and the Company accompanying the Share, except for those rights and obligations which these Articles exclude from such a cancellation or which the Law imposes upon former Shareholders.

 

36. The Person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of shall be registered as the holder of the Share and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.

 

37. The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

 

Transfer of Shares

 

38. No Transfer of Shares shall be effective unless the Transfer is not in violation of Articles 39, 40 and 41 and has been approved by the Board, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that such consent shall not be required for a transfer to a Permitted Transferee or from a Permitted Transferee back to the original Shareholder; provided, that with respect to any Grantor, any Transfer to a Permitted Transferee shall, until the Call Option terminates or expires, be expressly conditioned upon such Permitted Transferee becoming a party to the Call Option Agreement by executing and delivering a joinder or counterpart thereto in form and substance satisfactory to BWAY, thereby becoming subject to the terms and conditions of the Call Option Agreement as a “Grantor” with respect to the Shares so Transferred. The Board may refuse to register a Transfer in the event that such a Transfer is to a competitor of the Company, or in the event that such a Transfer would result in the Company having more than 50 shareholders. In the event that the Board does not notify the transferor of its refusal to allow a Transfer together with a detailed reasoning for such refusal within fourteen (14) days of receipt by the Company of a request for Transfer which includes the identity of the transferor then the Board shall be deemed to have approved such Transfer, provided that such agreement by the Board will be deemed to be subject to compliance by the transferor and the transferee with the terms of these Articles related to a Transfer.

39.1. Until a QIPO, and subject in any event to Article 39.3 below, the Founders shall be entitled to sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of (each, a "Transfer") up to 10% of his securities in the Company, calculated on the date of adoption of these Articles, per year, but neither Founder shall Transfer in the aggregate more than 25% of his securities in the Company, calculated on the date of adoption of these Articles, other than to his Permitted Transferees, without the approval of (A) the Preferred B Majority and (B) the holder of the Special Share or the Preferred S Majority, except in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the Shares of the Company.

 

39.2.

39.3. Unless and until the Call Option expires or is terminated, except as may be required to give effect to the transactions contemplated by the Call Option or with the prior written consent of BWAY (and subject to the conditions determined by BWAY) and the Preferred B Majority (if other than pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Call Option Agreement), each of the Grantors shall not, directly or indirectly, Transfer any of its Shares or any interest therein, nor create any Encumbrance thereon, nor enter into any agreement to do any of the foregoing, prior to the earlier of the Option Closing or 11:59 PM and 59 seconds (Israel time) on the Expiry Date, if no Exercise Notice has been provided by the Investor prior to such time. In this Article 39.3, capitalized terms not defined elsewhere in these Articles carry the meanings given to them in the Call Option Agreement.

 

For purposes of this Article 39, any Transfer of securities in any corporate Shareholder controlled by a Key Employee or Founder (alone or with others), which is not considered a transfer to a Permitted Transferee, as well as any Transfer of securities which would result in a change of control in any corporate Shareholder controlled by a Grantor, shall be deemed to be a Transfer of securities in the Company and therefore limited as aforesaid.

 

40. Right of First Refusal. Subject to the provisions of Article 39, and without derogating therefrom, until a QIPO, each Major Holder (an “Entitled Shareholder”), shall have a right of first refusal with respect to any Transfer of all or any of the securities of the Company by any other Shareholder (the “Transferor”) other than to a Permitted Transferee of such Transferor or pursuant to the Call Option Agreement, in accordance with the following provisions:

 

40.1. Any Transferor proposing to Transfer all or any of its Shares (the “Offered Shares”) shall first provide the Entitled Shareholders with an offer stating the identity of the Transferor and of the transferee and the terms of the proposed Transfer (the “Offer”). Each of the Entitled Shareholders may accept such Offer in respect of any portion of the Offered Shares (“Accepting Entitled Shareholders”) by giving the Company notice to that effect within fourteen (14) days after being served with the Offer (an “Acceptance”).

 

 

- 29 -

 

40.2. If the Acceptances, in the aggregate, are in respect of all of, or more than, the Offered Shares, then the Accepting Entitled Shareholders shall acquire the Offered Shares, on the terms aforementioned, in proportion to their respective holdings of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital (calculated on an as-converted basis), provided, however, that no Accepting Entitled Shareholders shall be entitled or shall be forced to acquire under the provisions of this Article 40 more than the number of Offered Shares initially accepted by such Accepting Entitled Shareholder under the Acceptance, and upon the allocation to it of the full number of Offered Shares so accepted, such Accepting Entitled Shareholder shall be disregarded in any subsequent computations and allocations hereunder. Any Offered Shares remaining after the computation of such respective entitlements shall be re-allocated among the remaining Accepting Entitled Shareholders (other than those to be disregarded as aforesaid), in the same manner, until one hundred percent (100%) of the Offered Shares have been allocated as aforesaid.

 

40.3. If the Acceptances are in respect of less than the full number of Offered Shares, then the Accepting Entitled Shareholders shall not be entitled to acquire the Offered Shares, and the Transferor, at the expiration of the aforementioned fourteen (14) day period, shall be entitled to Transfer all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares to the proposed transferee(s) identified in the Offer, provided, however, that in no event shall the Transferor Transfer any of the Offered Shares to any transferee other than such proposed transferee(s) or Transfer the same on terms more favorable to the transferee(s) than those stated in the Offer, and provided, further, that any Offered Shares not Transferred within ninety (90) days after the expiration of such fourteen

 

(14) day period, shall again be subject to the provisions of this Article 40.

 

40.4.

The Transferor shall be bound, upon payment of the offer price, to Transfer to the Accepting Entitled Shareholders the Offered Shares which have been allocated to the Accepting Entitled Shareholders pursuant to this Article 40. If, after becoming so bound, the Transferor defaults in Transferring the Offered Shares, the Company may receive the purchase price therefor and the Transferor shall be deemed to have appointed any member of the Board as his agent to execute a Transfer of the Offered Shares to the Accepting Entitled Shareholders and, upon execution of such Transfer, the Company shall hold the purchase price therefor in trust for the Transferor.

 

40.5. For purposes of this Article 40, any Transfer of securities in any corporate Transferor by a shareholder thereof, which is not considered a transfer to a Permitted Transferee, shall be deemed to be a Transfer of securities in the Company and therefore limited as aforesaid.

 

40.6. The right of first refusal set forth in this Exhibit C shall not apply to: (a) a Transfer which is part of a Drag Along and (b) a Transfer which is part of an IPO.

 

41. Co-Sale

 

41.1. Until a QIPO, in the event of a Transfer of Ordinary Shares by an Ordinary Shareholder, such Ordinary Shareholder proposing to make the Transfer (the “Co-Sale Transferor”) shall promptly notify each Major Holder that holds Preferred Shares (a “Co-Sale Entitled Shareholder”) in writing describing in such notification the identity of the proposed transferee, the number and type of securities being Transferred and the terms of the proposed Transfer (the “Co-Sale Transferor's Notice”).

 

41.2. Upon receipt of the Co-Sale Transferor's Notice, each Co-Sale Entitled Shareholder shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to the Co-Sale Transferor, within 14 days after receipt of the Co-Sale Transferor's Notice, to require the Co-Sale Transferor to provide as part of its proposed Transfer that such Co-Sale Entitled Shareholder be given the right to participate in the Transfer and (i) to Transfer up to such amount of securities in the Company owned by such Co-Sale Entitled Shareholder determined by multiplying the total number of securities being Transferred times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of issued and outstanding shares held by such Co-Sale Entitled Shareholder (assuming for purposes of this section, the conversion into Ordinary Shares of all Preferred Shares) and the denominator of which is the total number of issued and outstanding shares held by all of the Co-Sale Entitled Shareholders and the Co-Sale Transferor (assuming, for purposes of this section, the conversion into Ordinary Shares of all Preferred Shares) (the “Pro Rata Shares”), or (ii) in the event that the Transfer results in an M&A Transaction, to Transfer up to all of the Shares then held by such Co-Sale Entitled Shareholder in the Company (the “Total Shares”; the Pro Rata Shares together with the Total Shares, the “Co-Sale Participating Shares”); by including the Co-Sale Participating Shares held by such Co-Sale Entitled Shareholder with the securities being Transferred to any proposed purchaser thereof. The Transfer by any such Co-Sale Entitled Shareholder in accordance with this Article 41.2, shall be on the same terms and conditions under which the securities of the Co-Sale Transferor are being Transferred, provided that if the Transfer transaction qualifies as a Deemed Liquidation, pursuant to Article 8.1 above, then the proceeds obtained from such Transfer transaction shall be allocated in accordance with the provisions of Article 8.1.

 

 

- 30 -

 

41.3. In the event that Co-Sale Entitled Shareholders choose to exercise their rights hereunder (“Exercising Co-Sale Entitled Shareholders”), the Co-Sale Transferor must reduce the number of securities it desires to Transfer from the total amount of securities to be purchased by the proposed transferee and the Exercising Co-Sale Entitled Shareholders will contribute all of their Co-Sale Participating Shares and the Transferor will contribute the remaining number of securities up to the total number of securities to be purchased by the proposed transferee.

 

41.4. For purposes of this Article 41, any Transfer of securities in any corporate Co-Sale Transferor by a Co-Sale Transferor thereof, which is not considered a transfer to a Permitted Transferee, shall be deemed to be a Transfer of securities in the Company and therefore limited as aforesaid.

 

42. The rights of first refusal and rights of co-sale set forth in Articles 40 and 41 respectively shall not apply to a Transfer of securities from a Shareholder to a Permitted Transferee of a Shareholder, back to the original Shareholder and/or to a Permitted Transferee of such Permitted Transferee, provided, that such Permitted Transferee remains within the definition of a Permitted Transferee of the Transferor or Co-Sale Transferor, as applicable.

 

42A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Articles (including, without limitation, Articles 39 through 42), any Transfer of Shares in connection with the exercise of the Call Option under the Call Option Agreement, including any Transfer effected pursuant to a Drag Along transaction initiated as part of a Company Acquisition in accordance with Article 17.11, shall be exempt from all transfer restrictions set forth in these Articles, including but not limited to restrictions under the “No Sale” provisions of Article 39, the Right of First Refusal under Article 40, and the Co-Sale rights under Article 41. Without derogating from the foregoing or from Article 17.11, each Shareholder expressly and irrevocably (i) waives any rights of first refusal, co-sale rights, or other similar rights (contractual or statutory) that might otherwise apply in connection with any such Transfer of Shares, including a Proposed Transaction effected pursuant to the Drag Along provisions of Article 17.11 in furtherance of the Call Option Agreement, and (ii) agrees that the execution of the Call Option Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated thereby shall constitute all approvals necessary under these Articles for purposes of compliance with any such Transfer.

 

42B. For the avoidance of doubt, no Transfer of Shares by a Shareholder to BWAY pursuant to the Call Option Agreement shall require any further approval, notice, waiver, offer or other action under Articles 39–42, and shall be deemed fully approved by the Board and all Shareholders (including by each class thereof) in accordance with these Articles.

 

43. Each Transfer of securities shall be made in writing in such form as shall be approved by the Board from time to time, in which, inter alia, the transferee agrees to be subject to these Articles of Association (as may be amended), and which shall be executed by both the transferor and transferee, and delivered to the Office together with the transferred share certificates, if share certificates have been issued with respect to the shares to be transferred, and any other proof of the transferor’s title that the Board may require. The share transfer deed with respect to a share that has been fully paid may be signed by the transferor only. A deed of transfer that has been registered, or a copy thereof, as shall be decided by the Board, shall remain with the Company; any deed of transfer that the Board shall refuse to register shall be returned, upon demand, to the Person who furnished it to the Company, together with the share certificate, if furnished.

 

 

- 31 -

 

44. The transferor shall be deemed to remain a holder of the shares until the name of the transferee is entered into the Register in respect thereof.

 

45. The Company may impose a fee for registration of a share transfer, at a reasonable rate as may be determined by the Board from time to time.

 

46. Upon the death of a Shareholder, the remaining partners, in the event that the deceased was a partner in a share, or the administrators or executors or heirs of the deceased, in the event the deceased was the sole holder of the share or was the only one of the joint holders of the share to remain alive, shall be recognized by the Company as the sole holders of any title to the shares of the deceased. However, nothing aforesaid shall release the estate of a joint holder of a share from any obligation to the Company with respect to the share that he held in partnership.

 

47. Any Person becoming entitled to a share as a consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation of a Shareholder shall, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Board, have the right either to be registered as a Shareholder in respect of the share, or, instead of being registered himself, to transfer such share to another Person, in either instance subject to the Board’s power hereunder to refuse or delay registration as they would have been entitled to do if the deceased or the bankrupt had transferred his share before his death or before his bankruptcy, and subject to all other provisions hereof relating to transfers of shares.

 

48. A Person becoming entitled to a share because of the death of a Shareholder shall be entitled to receive, and to give receipts for, dividends or other payments paid or distributions made, with respect to the share, but shall not be entitled to receive notices with respect to General Meetings or to participate or vote therein with respect to that share, or to use any other right of a Shareholder, until he has been registered as a Shareholder with respect to that share.

 

Changing Share Rights

 

49. Subject to the provisions of these Articles, if at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the Company may change, convert, broaden, add or vary in any other manner the rights, preferences or privileges attached to such classes by resolution of the General Meeting of the Company.

 

50. Without derogating from the foregoing, only a direct change to the rights attached to a certain class of shares under these Articles shall require an approval obtained at a meeting of the holders of such class of shares or the written consent of the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the issued shares of such class. It is hereby clarified that any resolution required to be adopted pursuant to these Articles by the consent of a separate class of shares, whether by way of a separate General Meeting of such class or by way of written consent, shall be given by the holders of shares of such class entitled to vote or give consent thereon and no holder of shares of a certain class shall be banned from voting or consenting by virtue of being a holder of more than one class of shares of the Company, irrespective of any conflicting interests that may exist between such different classes of shares. A Shareholder shall not be required to refrain from participating in the discussion, voting and/or consenting on any resolution concerning an amendment to any class of shares held by such Shareholder, due to the fact that such Shareholder may benefit in one way or another from the outcome of such resolution.

 

51. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby clarified and agreed that (i) an increase of the authorized or issued share capital of an existing class of shares; (ii) the creation of a new class of shares or the issuance of shares thereof; (iii) a change of the conversion price of any class of shares; (iv) a waiver or a change, in whole or in part, to a right, preference or privilege of a class of shares (such as liquidation rights, registration rights, pre-emptive rights, etc, whether set forth in these Articles or in any agreement), whether applied on a one-time or permanent basis and whether applied in connection with a current or a future event, which waiver or change is applied in the same manner to all classes of shares to which such wavier or change is applicable, regardless whether the economic effect of such change affects classes of shares differently, shall not be deemed to be a direct change to the rights attached to any one (1) class of shares. Furthermore, any waiver or change to the rights attached to a class of shares shall not be deemed to be a direct change to the rights attached to another class of shares if such other class of shares was not entitled to the relevant rights prior to such waiver or change.

53.3. by subdivision of its existing shares, or any of them, divide the whole, or any part, of its share capital into shares of lesser value than is fixed by these Articles, and in a manner so that with respect to the shares created as a result of the division it will be possible to grant to one or more shares a right of priority, preference or advantage with respect to dividend, capital, voting or otherwise over the remaining or similar share;

 

53.4. reduce its share capital, and any fund reserved for capital redemption, in the manner that it shall deem to be desirable under the provisions of Section 287 of the Companies Law;

53.6. convert part of its issued and paid-up shares into deferred shares.

56.1. A prior notice of at least seven (7) days and no more than thirty (30) days (not including the day of delivery but including the day of the meeting) of any General Meeting shall be given with respect to the place, date and hour of the meeting and the nature of every subject on its agenda.

 

56.2. The notice shall be given to Shareholders entitled pursuant to these Articles to receive notices from the Company, as hereinafter provided.

 

56.3. Non-receipt of a notice, given as aforesaid, shall not invalidate the resolution passed or the proceedings held at the relevant Meeting.

 

56.4. With the consent of all the Shareholders who are entitled at such time to receive notices, the Company shall be permitted to convene Meetings and to resolve any resolution, upon shorter notice or without any notice and in such manner, generally, as shall be approved by the Shareholders.

 

57. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or to applicable law, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall vote together with the holders of all other shares of the Company, and not as a separate class, in all Shareholders meetings. Each Preferred Share shall entitle the holder thereof to such number of votes as if such shares had been converted into Ordinary Shares.

60. If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, shall stand adjourned to the same place and time one week from the date of the original meeting. If a notice of the adjourned meeting has been given to the Shareholders, and a quorum is not present at the adjourned meeting within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, two or more Shareholders present personally or by proxy, shall be a quorum, and shall be entitled to deliberate and to resolve in respect of the matters for which the meeting was convened.

 

61. The chairman of the Board or a director appointed by the Board for such purpose shall open all General Meetings and shall preside as chairman at the meeting.

 

62. The provisions of these Articles relating to General Meetings shall, mutatis mutandis, apply to any General Meeting of the holders of a particular class of shares (a “Class Meeting”), provided, however, that the requisite quorum at any such Class Meeting shall be one or more members present in person or by proxy and holding not less than a majority (50%) of the issued and outstanding shares of such class.

 

Vote by Shareholders

 

63. Every resolution put to the vote at a General Meeting shall be decided by a count of votes. Subject to any provision in the Law or in these Articles requiring a higher majority, all resolutions shall be passed by majority vote of the shares held by shareholders present at the meeting (on an as-converted basis).

 

64. Subject to the provisions of these Articles, in a count of votes, each Shareholder present at a General Meeting, personally or by proxy, shall be entitled to one vote for each share held by it; provided that no Shareholder shall be permitted to vote at a General Meeting or to appoint a proxy to vote thereat unless he has paid all calls for payment and all moneys then due to the Company from him with respect to his shares.

66. In the case of joint holders of a share, the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders. The appointment of a proxy to vote on behalf of a share held by joint holders shall be executed by the signature of the senior of the joint holders. For the purposes of this Article, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders stand in the Register.

 

67. An objection to the right of a Shareholder or a proxy to vote in a General Meeting must be raised at such meeting or at such adjourned meeting wherein that Person was supposed to vote, and every vote not disqualified at such a meeting shall be valid for each and every matter. The chairman of the meeting shall decide whether to accept or reject any objection raised at the appointed time with regard to the vote of a Shareholder or proxy, and his decision shall be final.

 

68. A Shareholder of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order to that effect has been made by any court having jurisdiction, may vote, whether on a show of hands or by a count of votes, only through his legal guardian or such other Person, appointed by the aforesaid court, who performs the function of a representative or guardian. Such representative, guardian, or other Person may vote by proxy.

 

69. A Shareholder which is a corporation shall be entitled, by a decision of its board of directors, or by a decision of a person or other body according to a resolution of its board of directors, to appoint a person who it shall deem fit to be its representative at every meeting of the Company. The representative appointed as aforesaid shall be entitled to perform on behalf of the corporation he represents all the powers that the corporation itself might perform as if it were a person.

 

70. In every vote, a Shareholder shall be entitled to vote either personally or by proxy. A proxy need not be a Shareholder. Shareholders may participate in a General Meeting by means of a conference telephone call or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other and participation in a meeting pursuant to this Article shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. Shareholders may also vote in writing, by delivery to the Company, prior to a General Meeting, of a written notice stating their affirmative or negative vote on an issue to be considered by such meeting.

 

71. A letter of appointment of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument pursuant to which the appointee is acting shall be in writing. An instrument appointing a proxy, whether for a specific meeting or otherwise, may be in the following form or in any other similar form prescribed by the Board:

 

“I,                            , of                            , a Shareholder holding shares in                             hereby appoint                     of                   as my proxy to vote in my name and place at the [annual, special, adjourned - as the case may be] General Meeting of Neurolief Ltd. to be held on                       , and at any adjournment thereof.

In witness whereof signed by me this day of ,                               .

 

                                           

Appointor’s Signature”

 

Such instrument or a copy thereof shall be deposited at the Office, or at such other place as the Board may direct from time to time, before the time appointed for the meeting or adjourned meeting wherein the person referred to in the instrument is appointed to vote, or presented to the chairman at the meeting in which such person shall vote that share. An instrument appointing a proxy which is not limited in time shall expire twelve (12) months after the date of its execution; if the appointment shall be for a limited period (whether limited by time or until the occurrence of a certain event), whether in excess of twelve (12) months or not, the instrument shall be for the period stated therein.

 

 

- 35 -

 

72. A vote pursuant to an instrument appointing a proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the death of the appointor, or the appointor becoming of unsound mind, or the cancellation of the proxy or its expiration in accordance with any law, or the transfer of the shares with respect to which the proxy was given, unless a notice in writing of any such event was received at the Office before the meeting took place.

 

73. A Shareholder is entitled to vote by a separate proxy with respect to each share held by him, provided that each proxy shall have a separate letter of appointment containing the serial number of share(s) with respect to which such proxy is entitled to vote. If a specific share is included by the holder in more than one letter of appointment, that share shall not entitle any of the proxy holders to a vote.

 

74. Subject to the provisions of any law, a resolution in writing signed by all the holders of shares, entitled to vote with respect to such shares at General Meetings, or a resolution as aforesaid agreed upon by telex, telegram facsimile or email (with signatures attached), shall have the same validity as any resolution, carried in a General Meeting of the Company duly convened and conducted for the purpose of passing such a resolution. If all the Shareholders shall consent in writing, or by facsimile, to any action to be taken by the Shareholders, such action shall be as valid as though it had been unanimously authorized at a duly convened General Meeting.

The directors may also use such investment, sum or property, or any part thereof, for the full payment of the Company’s capital issued and held by such Shareholders, or such investment, sum or property in any other manner permitted by such a resolution.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Article 143 shall preclude the Investor: (i) from entering into any broader corporate transaction, merger, consolidation, reorganization, financing, or strategic partnership, provided that such transaction does not constitute a standalone sale of all or substantially all of the shares or assets of the Company to the Third Party Offeror (or any of its affiliates or related parties); or (ii) if pursuant to such transaction the Shareholders would receive proceeds from such sale, as if (together with any proceeds paid to them under the Call Option Agreement) such sale had occurred immediately prior to the Call Option exercise.

 

 

 

 

Defaulting Investor

 

 

144. In the event BWAY is a Defaulting Investor the following provisions shall apply and supersede any other provisions in these Articles to the contrary:

 

144.1. for as long as the Loan Amount (as defined in the BWAY Investment Agreement) is outstanding under the terms of the BWAY Investment Agreement, the Special Share shall not have any rights under these Articles and its consent shall not be required for any matter (including its presence in any quorum), except that;

 

144.1.1. the Company may not incur any indebtedness senior to the Loan Amount, or agree to the placement of any lien on its assets, without the consent of the holder of the Special Share.

- 49 -

 

144.2.3. the Preferred S Shares shall not be entitled to receive the Preferred S Dividend Preference; and

 

144.2.4. any matter requiring the consent or vote of the Preferred S Majority (including any class vote), or mandatory presence in any quorum, shall no longer be required, except for: any amendment, alteration or repeal of the Articles that adversely affects the rights, preferences or privileges of the holders of the Preferred S Shares or to change any right attached to any Preferred S Share (provided, however, that the creation of any new class or series of shares having rights, preferences or privileges equal or senior to the Preferred S Shares shall not be considered adverse to thereto).

 

144.3. if the Loan Amount is converted prior to BWAY becoming a Defaulting Investor, then upon BWAY becoming a Defaulting Investor, with respect to the portion of the Loan Amount already converted, the provisions of Article 144.2 shall apply mutatis mutandis and the Preferred S-1 Original Issue Price shall be equal to the conversion price applied to such conversion.

 

144.4. BWAY shall no longer have the right to appoint a director, and any BWAY Director then serving maybe removed and replaced by the Preferred B Majority.

 

144.5. BWAY, or the holder of the Special Share or Preferred S Share, shall (i) no longer be entitled to any rights under Articles 12 (Preemptive Rights) if it is a Defaulting Investor with respect to the Second Principal Amount, (ii) Article 40 (Rights of First Refusal), (iii) Article 41 (Co-sale rights) if it is a Defaulting Investor with respect to the Second Principal Amount, and (iv) any restrictions on the transferability of any Shares that are subject to the approval of BWAY, the holder of the Special Share or the Preferred S Majority shall expire.

  3  

(b)                         Form F-3 Demand. If at any time when it is eligible to use a Form F-3 registration statement, the Company receives a request from Holders of at least thirty percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, among them BWAY (provided it is not an Inactive Investor), that the Company file a Form F-3 registration statement with respect to outstanding Registrable Securities of such Holders having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, of at least $3 million, then the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give a Demand Notice to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and (ii) as soon as practicable following expiration of the twenty (20) day period mentioned below, file a Form F-3 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.3.

 

(c)                         Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to Holders requesting a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1, a certificate signed by the Company’s chief executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing, and any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness thereof shall be tolled correspondingly, for a period of not more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the request of the Initiating Holders is given; provided, however, that the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other shareholder during such one hundred eighty (180) day period other than an Excluded Registration.

 

(d)                         The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (i) during the period that is sixty (60) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided, that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; (ii) after the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(a); or (iii) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form F-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.1(b). The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (i) during the period that is forty five (45) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is one ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, provided, that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or (ii) if the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(b) within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of such request. A registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 2.1(d) until such time as the applicable registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC, unless the Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such registration, elect not to pay the registration expenses therefor, and forfeit their right to one demand registration statement pursuant to Section 2.6, in which case such withdrawn registration statement shall be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 2.1(d).

 

  4  

2.2.         Company Registration. If the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for shareholders other than the Holders) any of its securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder notice of such registration. Upon the request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3, cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities, that each such Holder has requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.6.

 

2.3.         Underwriting Requirements.

 

(a)                         If, pursuant to Section 2.1, the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 2.1, and the Company shall include such information in the Demand Notice. The underwriter(s) will be selected by the Company and shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders, which majority includes BWAY (provided it is not an Inactive Investor). In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 2.4(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3, if the managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that otherwise would be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among such Holders of other Registrable Securities, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting.

 

  5  

(b)                         In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s share capital pursuant to Section 2.2, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Registrable Securities of any Holder in such underwriting unless such Holder accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by shareholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering providing the preference to the Holders of Preferred Shares as outlined in Section 2.3(a). If the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then subject to such underwriter’s limitations the Holders shall be entitled to register Registrable Securities pursuant to the following registration priority: first, the Company shall be entitled to register the Company's Shares; second, the Holders of other Registrable Securities shall be entitled to register such number of Registrable Securities required to be registered by them (pro rata to the respective number of Registrable Securities required by each Holder of Registerable Securities to be included in the registration); and third, to the extent possible, any other securities of the Company. The above notwithstanding, the Holders of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to register such a number of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 (other than in the IPO) constituting at least 30% (thirty percent) of all the shares registered under such registration (pro rata to the respective number of Registrable Securities required by each Holder of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration). For purposes of the provision in this Section 2.3(b) concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder, such Holder and the Permitted Transferees of such Holder shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder”.

 

(c)                         For purposes of Section 2.1, a registration shall not be counted as “effected” if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriter’s cutback provisions in Section 2.3(a), the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be included in such registration statement that are actually included constitute less than thirty percent (30%) of the total number of shares included in such registration.

 

2.4.         Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

 

(a)                         prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred and eighty (180) days (and in the case of registration on Form F-3, two years) or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed; provided, however, that such period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains, at the request of an underwriter of Ordinary Shares (or other securities) of the Company, from selling any securities included in such registration;

 

  6  

(b)                         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;

 

(c)                         furnish to the selling Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, as required by the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate their disposition of their Registrable Securities;

 

(d)                         register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue-sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the selling Holders; 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;

 

(e)                         in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the underwriter(s) of such offering;

 

(f)                          cause all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

 

(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;

 

(h)                         promptly make available for inspection by the selling Holders, any managing underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the selling Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent, in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such registration statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;

 

(i)                          furnish, at the request of any selling Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Agreement, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective (i) an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the selling Holders and to the underwriters, if any, and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the selling Holders and the underwriters, if any;

 

  7  

(j)                          notify each selling Holder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed, or the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; and

 

(k)                         after such registration statement becomes effective, notify each selling Holder of any request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus.

 

2.5.         Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder 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 such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

 

2.6.         Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 2, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees; printers’ and accounting fees; fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders selected by Holders wishing to participate in such registration holding the majority of the Registrable Securities then held by Holders (“Selling Holder Counsel”), shall be borne and paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then held by Holders to be registered (in which case all selling Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then held by Holders agree to forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b), as the case may be; provided further that if, at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders shall have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness after learning of such information then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall not forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(b). All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 2 shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf.

 

2.7.         Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.

 

  8  

2.8.         Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2:

 

(a)                         To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder, and the partners, members, officers, directors, and shareholders of each such Holder; legal counsel and accountants for each such Holder; any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each such Holder; and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Damages, and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration.

 

(b)                         To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement, and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such selling Holder will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any Holder by way of indemnity or contribution under Sections 2.8(b) and 2.8(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.

 

(c)                         Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.8, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.8, to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.8.

 

  9  

(d)                         To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Section 2.8, then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case, (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Section 2.8(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.8(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder.

 

(e)                         Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

 

(f)                          Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section 2, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

2.9.         Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form F-3, the Company shall:

 

  10  

(a)                         make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for the IPO;

 

(b)                         file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements); and

 

(c)                         furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for the IPO), the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form F-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies); (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company; and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act) or pursuant to Form F-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to use such form).

 

2.10.      Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding which are held by Holders, which majority includes BWAY (provided it is not an Inactive Investor), enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would provide to such holder registration rights on a basis equal to or more favorable than the registration rights granted to the Holders herein.

 

2.11.      “Market Stand-off” Agreement. In connection with the IPO, each Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the registration by the Company for its own behalf of Ordinary Shares or any other equity securities under the Securities Act on a registration statement in such IPO, and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days), which period may be extended upon the request of the managing underwriter for an additional period of up to seventeen (17) days if the Company issues or proposes to issue an earnings or other public release within seventeen (17) days of the expiration of the 180-day period (i) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Ordinary Shares (whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by the Holder or are thereafter acquired) or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Ordinary Shares or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.11 shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, and shall be applicable to the Holders only if all officers, directors and shareholders individually owning more than one percent (1%) of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares (after giving effect to conversion into Ordinary Shares of all outstanding Preferred Shares) agree to the same restrictions. The underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 2.11 and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Holder agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriter(s) in connection with such registration that are consistent with this Section 2.11 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the Company or the underwriters shall apply pro rata to all Holders subject to such agreements, based on the number of shares subject to such agreements. In the event that the managing underwriter(s) grant(s) a release of these market standoff requirements for securities greater than $10,000 in value in the aggregate, all Holders of securities subject to market standoff shall be entitled to participate in such release on a pro rata basis based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then outstanding held by such Holders.

 

  11  

2.12.       Transfer of Registration Rights. Subject as further provided in Section 5.1, the registration rights granted under the provisions of this Section 2 may be transferred by a Holder to (i) any partner or retired partner of such Holder which is a partnership, (ii) any member or former member of such Holder which is a limited liability company, (iii) any family member or trust for the benefit of such individual Holder, (iv) a Permitted Transferee (as such term is defined in the Articles) of such Holder; or (v) any transferee who acquires Registrable Securities.

 

2.13.       Registration Outside the U.S. The provisions of Section 2 hereof shall apply also, mutatis mutandis, to any registration of shares of the Company in any jurisdiction other than the U.S. and all references to U.S. laws and regulations shall be deemed as made to the applicable relevant laws.

 

2.14.      Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Holder to request registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of:

 

(a)                         the closing of a Deemed Liquidation Event, as such term is defined in the Company’s Articles; and

 

(b)                         the fifth anniversary of the Commencement Date.

 

3. Information Rights.

 

3.1.         Delivery of Financial Statements. The Company shall deliver to BWAY and to each holder of Preferred Shares who holds at least 2% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company on an as converted basis:

 

(a)                         as soon as practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (or within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal year once BWAY holds twenty percent (20%) or more of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company on an as converted basis), financial statement for such year, including (i) a consolidated balance sheet as of the end of such year, (ii) statements of income and of cash flows for such year, (iii) a comparison between (x) the actual amounts as of and for such fiscal year and (y) the comparable amounts for the prior year and as included in the Budget (as defined below) for such year, with an explanation of any material differences between such amounts and a schedule as to the sources and applications of funds for such year, and (iv) a statement of shareholders’ equity as of the end of such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figure for the previous fiscal year, all in reasonable detail, in NIS with United State dollar- convenience translation, prepared in accordance with GAAP, audited by an accounting firm of international standing, and in a form reasonably acceptable to BWAY and KT Squared, LLC (“KT”);

 

  12  

(b)                         as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the end of each of the first three (3) quarters of each fiscal year of the Company, unaudited financial statements for such quarter, including an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as at the end of each such period and unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flow of the Company for the period from the beginning of the current fiscal year to the end of such quarterly period, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year, all in reasonable detail, in NIS with United States dollar convenience translation and signed by the chief financial officer (or if none, by the chief executive officer) of the Company, and in a form reasonably acceptable to BWAY and KT (except that such financial statements may (i) be subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and (ii) not contain all notes thereto that may be required in accordance with GAAP);

 

(c)                         as soon as available, but in any event within twenty one (21) days of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company, if any changes have occurred within said quarter, a statement showing the number of shares of each class and series of share capital and securities convertible into or exercisable for share capital outstanding at the end of the period, the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of any outstanding securities convertible or exercisable for Ordinary Shares and the exchange ratio or exercise price applicable thereto, and the number of options (issued and not yet issued but reserved for issuance, if any), all in sufficient detail as to permit the Investors to calculate their respective percentage equity ownership in the Company on both issued and fully-diluted bases, and certified by the chief financial officer or chief executive officer of the Company as being true, complete, and correct;

 

(d)                         such other information as any Investor may from time to time reasonably request that is customary to provide to a shareholder.

 

3.2.         The Company shall deliver to the Board of Directors:

 

(a)            as soon as practicable, but in any event until December 1st of each year, a budget and business plan for the next fiscal year (the “Budget”) prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the Board of Directors;

 

(b)           as soon as available, but in any event within fourteen (14) days of the end of each month, a monthly business report and bank statements in a form agreed by the Board.

 

If, for any period, the Company has any subsidiary whose accounts are consolidated with those of the Company, then in respect of such period the financial statements delivered pursuant to the foregoing sections shall be the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the subsidiaries.

 

Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 3 to the contrary, the Company may cease providing the information set forth in this Section 3 during the period starting with the date thirty (30) days before the Company’s good-faith estimate of the date of filing of a registration statement if it reasonably concludes it must do so to comply with the SEC rules applicable to such registration statement and related offering; provided that the Company’s covenants under this Section 3 shall be reinstated at such time as the Company is no longer actively employing its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall deliver to BWAY, upon its reasonable written request and with reasonable advance notice, such information as may be reasonably necessary for BWAY to comply with any applicable law, including without limitation, securities laws, stock exchange rules and regulations and/or any request of any stock exchange, the SEC, the Israeli Securities Authority, Ministry of Finance or any other governmental authority. The Company hereby undertakes, upon BWAY’s reasonable written request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist BWAY to fulfill the aforementioned legal obligations.

 

3.3.         Inspection. The Company shall permit BWAY (provided it is not an Inactive Investor) and each Investor holding at least 5% of the outstanding share capital of the Company on a fully-diluted basis (provided that the Board of Directors has not reasonably determined that such Investor is a competitor of the Company) or its authorized representatives and upon Investor’s reasonable notice, to visit and inspect the Company’s properties, including its corporate and financial records; examine its books of account and records; and discuss the Company’s affairs, finances, and accounts with its officers, during normal business hours of the Company as may be reasonably requested by the Investor; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 3.3 to provide access to any information that it reasonably and in good faith considers to be a trade secret or confidential information or the disclosure of which would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel.

 

3.4.         Termination of Information Rights. The covenants set forth in Section 3 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect immediately before the consummation of the QIPO, as such term is defined in Articles.

 

3.5.        General Disclosure Covenant. In addition, and not as a limitation on any of the foregoing, the Company covenants that it will provide full disclosure and information regarding all of the Company’s material affairs at meetings of the Board and, to the extent required under applicable law, at annual general meetings of the shareholders, and extraordinary general meetings of the shareholders.

 

3.6.         Confidentiality. Each Investor acknowledges that the information received by such Investor from the Company pursuant to Section 3 is confidential, and it will not use such confidential information or reproduce, disclose or disseminate such information to any other person (other than its employees or agents having a need to know the contents of such information, and its attorneys) unless the Company has made such information available to the public generally, except (a) in connection with the exercise of rights under this Agreement, (b) as may be required by law, (c) to its members, limited partners, general partners or management company or to the attorneys thereof in order to protect and monitor their investment in the Company, or in connection with periodic reports or general statements to such persons, (d) to any prospective purchaser of any Registrable Securities from such Investor, if such prospective purchaser is under a written obligation to the Company to keep such information confidential as provided herein, provided that such prospective purchaser is not a competitor of the Company, (e) information that was known to the Investor prior to the disclosure thereof, (f) information that is legally transmitted or disclosed to the Investor by a third party which owes no obligation of confidentiality to the Company, or (g) information that is developed by such Investor or its agents independently of and without reference to any confidential information of the Company.

4. ESOP; Directors and Officers Insurance.

 

Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors, all future employees and consultants of the Company or its Affiliates who purchase, receive options to purchase, or receive awards of shares of the Company’s share capital after the date hereof, such options and awards shall vest as follows: vesting of shares over a four (4) year period, with the first twenty-five percent (25%) of such shares vesting following twelve (12) months of continued employment or service, and the remaining shares vesting in equal monthly installments over the following thirty-six (36) months.

 

The Company shall obtain and continue to maintain in full force and effect, a valid Directors and Officers insurance policy of financially sound and reputable insurers, covering the directors in the Company (including the newly designated directors) in an amount of at least US$ 2,000,000.

 

5. Miscellaneous.

 

5.1.         Successors and Assigns. The rights under this Agreement may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee of Registrable Securities that (i) is a Permitted Transferee (as such term is defined under the Articles) of a Holder (other than a competitor of the Company) or (ii) with respect to registration rights, if the transferee (other than a competitor of the Company) acquires at least 80% of the shares of the original purchaser’s Registrable Securities); provided, however, that (x) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee and the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred; and (y) such transferee agrees in a written instrument delivered to the Company to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the provisions of Section 2.11. The terms and conditions of this Agreement inure to the benefit of and are binding upon the respective successors and permitted assignees of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assignees any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.

 

5.2.         Governing Law. This Agreement and any controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Israel, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of Israel. Any dispute arising under or in relation to this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively in the competent court located in Tel Aviv, Israel, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court.

 

5.3.         Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile signature and in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

5.4.         Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

 

5.5.         Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of actual receipt or: (i) personal delivery to the party to be notified; (ii) when sent, if sent by electronic mail or facsimile during the recipient’s normal business hours, and if not sent during normal business hours, then on the recipient’s next business day; (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; or (iv) one (1) business day after the business day of deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, freight prepaid, specifying next-day delivery, with written verification of receipt.

  15  

5.6.         Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and the holders of at least 60% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, including KT and BWAY (provided it is not an Inactive Investor); provided that any provision hereof may be waived by any waiving party on such party’s own behalf, without the consent of any other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended or terminated and the observance of any term hereof may not be waived with respect to any Investor without the written consent of such Investor, unless such amendment, termination, or waiver applies to all Investors in the same fashion. The Company shall give prompt notice of any amendment or termination hereof or waiver hereunder to any party hereto that did not consent in writing to such amendment, termination, or waiver. Any amendment, termination, or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 5.6 shall be binding on all parties hereto, regardless of whether any such party has consented thereto. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision. In the event the Loan Amount is repaid in full in accordance with the Investment Agreement, all of BWAY’s rights under this Agreement shall immediately cease.

 

5.7.         Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be reformed and construed so that it will be valid, legal, and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

5.8.         Aggregation of Shares. All Registrable Securities held or acquired by Permitted Transferees shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement and such Permitted Transferees may apportion such rights as among themselves in any manner they deem appropriate.

 

5.9.         Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any Schedules hereto) constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly terminated.

 

5.10.        Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence to any such breach or default, or to any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. All remedies, whether under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

 

5.11.       Further Action. Each of the parties shall take such actions, including the execution and delivery of further instruments and voting its shares in the Company, as may be necessary to give full effect to the provisions hereof and to the intent of the parties hereto.
