ARTICLE V
CONVERSION
 
Section 5.1          Conversion Procedure.
 
(a)          At any time prior to the payment of the Principal Amount of this Note in full, the Holder of this Note may convert all of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note or any portion thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, into a number of Ordinary Shares determined by the following calculation: (i) the portion of the Principal Amount of the Note designated by such Holder to be converted, divided by (ii) $1,000, multiplied by (iii) the Conversion Rate (as defined below) then in effect.
 
(b)          Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each conversion of this Note shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) on which the Holder of this Note has completed, signed and delivered to the Company an irrevocable conversion notice in the form attached to this Note as Attachment 1 (the “Conversion Notice”).  At such time as such conversion has been effected, the rights of the Holder of this Note as such Holder to the extent of the conversion (except the right to receive in cash any unpaid Change of Control Amount) shall cease, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names the Ordinary Shares are to be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Ordinary Shares represented thereby.
 
(c)          As soon as possible after a conversion has been effected (but in any event within two Business Days in the case of clause (i) below), the Company shall do the following:
 
(i)          register the issuance to the converting Holder of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion (in whole or in part) of this Note (the “Underlying Shares”) in the Company’s share transfer registry;
 
(ii)          issue the Underlying Shares and deposit such Underlying Shares with the Transfer Agent, in the name and on behalf of the Holder of the Note;
 
(iii)          cause the Transfer Agent to issue and deliver to the converting Holder certificates or a book-entry transfer for the relevant number of Ordinary Shares to Holder; provided, that, if (y) either (A) the Transaction Shelf Registration Statement or any replacement Registration Statement (each as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) pursuant to Section 1.1(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement is effective and available or (B) the Underlying Shares would be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 by the Holder, without any requirements as to volume, manner of sale, availability of current public information or notice under the Securities Act, and (x) the Holder elects in the applicable Conversion Notice to receive such Underlying Shares through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), the Company shall credit such aggregate number of Underlying Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through DTC’s Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system; and
 
8

(iv)          if the Holder has surrendered this Note in connection with such conversion, except where the entire Principal Amount is converted in full, deliver to the Holder a new Note representing the portion of the Principal Amount which was not converted.
 
The Holder shall cooperate with the Company and the Transfer Agent to facilitate the process outlined above, including through the execution of the Conversion Notice.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless all of the Principal Amount is being converted. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal Amount converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon any such partial conversion. The Holder and any transferee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any portion of this Note, the Principal Amount of this Note may be less than the principal amount stated on the face hereof.
 
(d)          If a fractional Ordinary Share would, except for the provisions hereof, be deliverable upon conversion of this Note, the Company, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, shall in the event the conversion is being consummated in connection with repayment in full of the Note, pay in cash an amount equal to the market price of such fractional share based on the closing price (or if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) of the Ordinary Shares as reported in composite transactions for the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are traded  (the “Closing Sale Price”) on the Conversion Date; provided, that if the Ordinary Shares are not listed for trading on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange on the relevant date, the “Closing Sale Price” shall be the last quoted bid price for per Ordinary Share in the over-the-counter market on the relevant date as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc. or a similar organization; provided, further that if the Ordinary Shares are not so quoted, the “Closing Sale Price” shall be the average of the mid-point of the last bid and ask prices per Ordinary Share on the relevant date from a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm selected by the Holder for this purpose.
 
(e)          The issuance of the Underlying Shares upon conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of Underlying Shares, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such Underlying Shares be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay the tax.  Upon conversion of this Note, the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be, and the Company shall take all such actions as are necessary in order to ensure that the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
 
(f)          The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of this Note in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of this Note.
 
9

(g)          The Company shall not effect the conversion of all or a portion of the Note to the extent that, after giving effect to such issuance after conversion, Holder (together with its Affiliates and any other person or entity acting as a group together with Holder or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Concert Parties”)), would beneficially own Ordinary Shares in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Holder and its Concert Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Holder and such Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the portion of the Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining portion of the Note beneficially owned by Holder and (ii) conversion or exercise of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any loan to or securities of the Company (or any successor thereto) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by Holder or any of its Concert Parties.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 5.1(g), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by Holder that the Company is not representing to Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.  To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 5.1(g) applies, the determination of whether and the extent to which a Note may be converted (in relation to other loans or securities owned by Holder together with any Affiliates) shall be made in good faith by Holder holding such Note in consultation with its own counsel.  In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For purposes of this Section 5.1(g), in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (x) the Company’s (or its successor’s) most recent periodic or annual report, as the case may be, filed with the SEC, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company (or its successor) or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent (or its successor or successor’s transfer agent) setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of Holder, the Company shall within two Business Days confirm orally and in writing to Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding.  In any case, the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of loans or securities of the Company, including the Note, by Holder or its Concert Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was reported.  The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall initially be 19.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the applicable portion of the Note; provided, that with respect to any Holder other than the Purchaser and its Affiliates, the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the applicable portion of the Note.  The Purchaser (or any Affiliate of the Purchaser that is the Holder), upon written notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to it, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 24.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the applicable portion of the Note.  Any decrease in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will become effective immediately, and any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to the Purchaser will become effective on the 61st day after such written notice is delivered to the Company.  If any Ordinary Shares otherwise due upon the conversion of the Note are not delivered as a result of this Section 5.1(g), then the Company’s obligation to deliver such Ordinary Shares will not be extinguished, and the Company will deliver such Ordinary Shares as soon as reasonably practicable after the applicable Holder provides written confirmation to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such delivery will not contravene the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Any purported delivery of Ordinary Shares upon conversion of the Note will be void and have no effect to the extent, and only to the extent, that such delivery would contravene the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The provisions of this Section 5.1(g) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms hereof in order to correct such terms (or any portion thereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained, which intention shall include, among other things, that Section 328 to the Israeli Companies Law, 1999, shall not apply to any of the transactions contemplated under this Note, or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

Section 5.2          Conversion Rate.  The Principal Amount of this Note shall be convertible into Ordinary Shares at a rate (subject to adjustment as provided in this Article V, the “Conversion Rate”) initially equal to 97.0874 Ordinary Shares per $1,000 Principal Amount of the Note. In the event that the Company exercises the First Extension, effective on February 15, 2025, the Conversion Rate shall be increased to equal the Conversion Rate then in effect multiplied by 110.8%.  In the event that the Company exercises the Second Extension, effective on February 15, 2026, the Conversion Rate shall be further increased to equal the Conversion Rate then in effect multiplied by 112.0%.  To address dilution of the conversion rights granted under this Note, the Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to Section 5.3.
 
Section 5.3          Adjustments to Conversion Rate.  The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs:
 
(a)          In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while the Note is outstanding, pay a dividend in Ordinary Shares or make a distribution in Ordinary Shares to all or substantially all holders of Ordinary Shares, then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
 
CR1 = CR0  ×
OS1
 
OS0
 

where
 
CR0
=
the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution;
CR1
=
the Conversion Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution;
OS0
=
the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution; and
OS1
=
the number of Ordinary Shares that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, giving effect to such dividend or distribution.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(a) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution.  If any dividend or distribution that is the subject of this Section 5.3(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) publicly announces its decision not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
 
11

(b)          In case outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be subdivided or split into a greater number of Ordinary Shares or combined or reverse split into a smaller number of Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
 
CR1 = CR0  ×
OS1
 
OS0
 

where
 
CR0
=
the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the effective date of such subdivision or combination;
CR1
=
the Conversion Rate in effect on the effective date of such subdivision or  combination;
OS0
=
the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the effective date of such subdivision or combination; and
OS1
=
the number of Ordinary Shares that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, giving effect to such subdivision or combination.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
 
12

(c)          In case the Company shall issue rights (other than rights issued pursuant to a shareholders’ rights plan or a dividend or distribution on Ordinary Shares in Ordinary Shares as set forth in Section 5.3(a) above) or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Ordinary Shares entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring within 45 calendar days of the date of issuance, Ordinary Shares at a price per Ordinary Share less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Ordinary Shares during the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for the distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
 
     
CR1 = CR0  ×
OS0+X
 
OS0+Y
 

where

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the ex-dividend date for such issuance.  If any rights or warrants described in this Section 5.3(c) are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision not to issue such rights or warrants, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such issuance had not been declared.  To the extent that such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or Ordinary Shares are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants upon the exercise of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Ordinary Shares actually delivered.  In determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights and warrants, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and the value of such consideration (if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors).

(d)          In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Ordinary Shares of any class of share capital of the Company or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding (i) any dividends or distributions referred to in Section 5.3(a), (ii) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 5.3(c), (iii) any dividends or distributions referred to in Section 5.3(e), (iv) any dividends or distributions in connection with an Organic Change to which Section 5.3(e) applies, or (v) any Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 5.3(d) applies) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 5.3(d) called the “Distributed Assets”), then, in each such case, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
 
CR1 = CR0 ×

SP0 – FMV
 

where
 
CR0
=
the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

the Conversion Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date for such distribution;
SP0
=
the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Ordinary Shares during the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution; and
FMV
=
the fair market value on the ex-dividend date for such distribution of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one Ordinary Share, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

In the event where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Ordinary Shares consisting of shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “Spin-Off”) that are, or when issued, will be, traded or listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other U.S. national securities exchange or market, then the Conversion Rate shall instead be increased based on the following formula:

MP0
=
the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Ordinary Shares during the Spin-Off Valuation Period.

The increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur on the earlier of (x) the date that is immediately after the end of the Spin-Off Valuation Period or (y) the Conversion Date; provided that in the event of any conversion during the Spin-Off Valuation Period, references to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the effective date of such Spin-Off to, and including, the Conversion Date.
 
Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(d) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the ex-dividend date for such distribution.  If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 5.3(d) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
 
14

Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Ordinary Shares entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s share capital (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such Ordinary Shares; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Ordinary Shares, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 5.3 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 5.3 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 5.3(d).  If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Note, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights.  In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 5.3 was made, (A) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Ordinary Shares with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Ordinary Shares as of the date of such redemption or repurchase and (B) in the case of such rights or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.
 
No adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be made pursuant to this Section 5.3(d) in respect of rights or warrants distributed or deemed distributed on any Trigger Event to the extent that such rights or warrants are actually distributed to the Holder of this Note upon conversion by such Holder of this Note.
 
(e)          In case the Company shall pay a dividend or otherwise distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Ordinary Shares a dividend or other distribution of exclusively cash excluding any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
 
CR1 = CR0 ×
SP0
 
SP0 – DIV

CR0
=
the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution;

the Conversion Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution;
SP0
=
the Closing Sale Price of the Ordinary Shares during the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution; and
DIV
=
the amount in cash per Ordinary Share the Company distributes to holders of its Ordinary Shares.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(e) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution.  If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 5.3(e) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

15

(f)          In case of purchases of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Ordinary Shares, to the extent that the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, of cash and any other consideration included in the payment per Ordinary Share exceeds the Closing Sale Price of the Ordinary Shares on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (as it may be amended) (the “Expiration Date”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
 
CR1 = CR0 ×
FMV + (SP1 x OS1)
 
SP1 x OS0
 
 
where
 
CR0
=
the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date;
CR1
=
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date;
FMV
=
the fair market value, on the Expiration Date, of the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration paid or payable for Ordinary Shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Date, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors;
OS1
=
the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after the last time tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (the “Expiration Time”), after giving effect to the purchase of all Ordinary Shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer;
OS0
=
the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately before the Expiration Time; and
SP1
=
the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Ordinary Shares during the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date.
 
16

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(f) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date.  If the Company, or one of its Subsidiaries, is obligated to purchase Ordinary Shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting all such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, if the application of this Section 5.3(f) to any tender offer or exchange offer would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this Section 5.3(f).

(g)          In cases where the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, of Distributed Assets and cash, including with respect to a Spin-Off, as to which Section 5.3(d) and Section 5.3(e) apply, applicable to one Ordinary Share, distributed to holders of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Ordinary Shares during the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution, then, rather than being entitled to an adjustment in the Conversion Rate, Holder will be entitled to receive upon conversion of each $1,000 of Principal Amount in respect of this Note, in addition to the Conversion Shares, the kind and amount of assets, debt securities or rights, warrants or options comprising the distribution, if any, that Holder would have received if Holder had converted such $1,000 of Principal Amount in respect of this Note immediately prior to the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive the distribution.
 
(h)          In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a)-(g) of this Section 5.3, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market and any other securities exchange on which any of the Company’s securities are then listed, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest, and the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of the Ordinary Shares or rights to purchase Ordinary Shares in connection with a dividend or distribution of Ordinary Shares or similar event.
 
(i)          All calculations under this Article V shall be made in good faith by the Company in accordance with this Article V, and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of an Ordinary Share, as the case may be.  No adjustment need be made for rights to purchase Ordinary Shares pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or for any issuance of Ordinary Shares or convertible or exchangeable securities or, except as provided in this Section 5.3, rights to purchase Ordinary Shares or convertible or exchangeable securities.  The Company shall certify to Holder that all calculations are made in compliance with this Article V, and shall show Holder in detail the facts upon which such calculations and adjustments were made.
 
17

(j)          For purposes of this Section 5.3, the number of Ordinary Shares at any time outstanding shall not include Ordinary Shares held in the treasury of the Company.  The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on Ordinary Shares held in the treasury of the Company.
 
(k)          Notwithstanding any of the foregoing clauses in this Section 5.3, the applicable Conversion Rate will not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5.3(k) in the event of a distribution that would otherwise give rise to adjustment pursuant to clause (d) or (e) of this Section 5.3, if (but only if) Holder otherwise participates in such distribution, at the same time such distribution is effected to holders of Ordinary Shares, on an as-converted basis (as if Holder had converted the Principal Amount at the then applicable Conversion Rate) but without the conversion of this Note actually taking place or (ii) solely by reason of the issuance or conversion of any other Note pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
 
(l)          Organic Change.  Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or other transaction (other than a subdivision or combination solely of Ordinary Shares), which in each case is effected in such a manner that holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for or upon conversion of Ordinary Shares is referred to herein as an “Organic Change.” In the event of an Organic Change prior to repayment in full of the Note, then:
 
(A)          at the effective time of the Organic Change, the right to convert each $1,000 Principal Amount of this Note will be changed into the right to convert such Principal Amount of this Note into the kind and amount of shares, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) or any combination thereof that a holder of a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Organic Change would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Organic Change (the “Reference Property,” with each “unit of Reference Property” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one Ordinary Share would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Organic Change); and
 
(B)          at or prior to the effective time of such Organic Change, the Company or Successor Company, as the case may be, and any other issuer of securities constituting Reference Property shall execute and deliver to the Holder a supplement to this Note providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 Principal Amount of this Note.
 
The Company shall not become a party to any Organic Change unless the terms thereof are consistent with this Section 5.3(1).
 
Such supplement described in the first paragraph of this Section 5.3(1) shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments, and covenants for protection of the interests of the Holders of this Note, in respect of the Reference Property (and, if the Reference Property represents underlying securities, such securities) that shall be as nearly equivalent as is practicable to the adjustments and covenants provided for in this Article V in respect of Ordinary Shares.  If, in the case of any Organic Change, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a Person other than the Company or Successor Company, as the case may be, then such supplement shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.
 
18

When the Company executes and delivers such supplement to this Note pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder an officer’s certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or assets that will comprise a unit of Reference Property (and, if the Reference Property represents underlying securities, such securities) after any such Organic Change, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent in this Note to such execution and delivery have been complied with.
 
None of the foregoing provisions shall affect (i) the right of the Holder of this Note to convert all or any portion of the Principal Amount of this Note into Ordinary Shares prior to the effective time of such Organic Change,(ii) if such Organic Change constitutes a Change of Control, the rights of the Holder of this Note, at its option, to cause redemption or conversion of this Note upon the Optional Conversion/Redemption Date in respect of such Change of Control in accordance with Article VI or (iii) regardless of whether such Organic Change constitutes a Change of Control, the right of the Holder of this Note to continue to hold this Note after consummation of such Organic Change and at any time thereafter prior to the payment of the Principal Amount of this Note in full, to convert this Note into Reference Property.
 
The above provisions of this Section 5.3(1) shall similarly apply to successive Organic Changes.
 
Notwithstanding the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions described in Section 5.3(a) through (f), no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made pursuant to such provisions in the event of any dividend, distribution or issuance upon an Organic Change to which the provisions under this Section 5.3(1) apply.
 
Section 5.4          Notices.
 
(a)          Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, the Company shall send written notice thereof to the Holder of this Note, setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.
 
(b)          The Company shall send written notice to the Holder of this Note at least 20 days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (i) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon Ordinary Shares, any subdivision, stock split, reverse stock split or combination, or any tender offer or exchange offer or (ii) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Ordinary Shares.
 
(c)          The Company shall also give at least 20 days’ prior written notice to the Holder of this Note of the date on which any Change of Control, Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation shall take place.
 
Section 5.5          Adjustments of Prices.  Whenever any provision of this Note requires the Company to calculate the Closing Sale Prices over a span of multiple days (including the Spin-Off Valuation Period and any other period for determining the Closing Sale Prices for purposes of adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.3), the Company shall make any adjustments to each that it reasonably determines to be appropriate to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate (or changes to the market price per Ordinary Share resulting from any such event) where the ex-dividend date, effective date or Expiration Time, as the case may be, of the event occurs at any time during the period when such Closing Sale Prices are to be calculated, without duplication of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 5.3. The Company will likewise make appropriate adjustments where a Conversion Rate adjustment otherwise required to be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 5.3(a) through (f) is not made in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3(g) that permit participation by Holder in a distribution in lieu of such Conversion Rate adjustment.

ARTICLE VI
HOLDER’S RIGHTS UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL
 
Section 6.1          General.
 
(a)          Subject to the terms of this Article VI, if a Change of Control occurs at any time prior to the payment of this Note in full, regardless of whether the Change of Control also constitutes an Organic Change or an Organic Change otherwise occurs, the Holder of this Note shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require that the Company convert the Note to Ordinary Shares or redeem all (but not less than all) of the outstanding Principal Amount of the Note on the date specified by the Company (the “Optional Conversion/Redemption Date”), that is not less than 20 nor more than 60 days following the date of the Change of Control Notice (as defined below).
 
(b)          On or before the 20th day after the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall provide to the Holder of this Note a written notice (the “Change of Control Notice”) of the occurrence of the Change of Control specifying:
 
(i)          the events causing the Change of Control;
 
(ii)         the effective date of the Change of Control; and
 
(iii)        the Optional Conversion/Redemption Date.
 
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notice and no defect therein shall limit the Holder’s right of optional conversion or redemption or affect the validity of the proceedings for the conversion or the redemption of the Note.
 
(c)          Any conversion or redemption of this Note under this Article VI shall be made at the option of the Holder of this Note upon delivery to the Company by the Holder of a written notice (a “Holder Optional Conversion/Redemption Notice”) stating whether it elects to require the Company to convert the Note to Ordinary Shares (an “Optional Conversion”) or to redeem (an “Optional Redemption”) all of the outstanding Principal Amount of the Note.
 
20

Section 6.2          Mechanics of Holder Optional Conversion.  If the Holder of this Note delivers a Holder Optional Conversion/Redemption Notice electing an Optional Conversion in accordance with this Article VI, then, on the Optional Conversion/Redemption Date, the Company shall (i) issue to the Holder of this Note a number of Ordinary Shares determined by multiplying (A) the portion of the Principal Amount of the Note designated by such Holder to be converted divided by $1,000, by (B) the Conversion Rate then in effect and (ii) pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to 6% per annum on the then-outstanding Principal Amount from the Conversion Date of such Optional Conversion through, and including, the Maturity Date (as it may be extended).  The Company shall not become a party to any Change of Control unless the terms thereof are consistent with this Section 6.2.
 
Section 6.3          Mechanics of Holder Optional Redemption.  If the Holder of this Note delivers a Holder Optional Conversion/Redemption Notice electing an Optional Redemption in accordance with this Article VI, then, on the Optional Conversion/Redemption Date, the Company shall (i) redeem the Note in cash at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding Principal Amount of the Note and (ii) pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to 6% per annum on the then-outstanding Principal Amount from the date of such Optional Redemption through, and including, the Maturity Date (as it may be extended).
 
Section 6.4          No Effect on Holder Conversion Right.  None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of the Holder of this Note to convert all or any portion of the Principal Amount of this Note into Ordinary Shares prior to or after the effective time of any Change of Control.
 
ARTICLE VII
CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY
 
Section 7.1          Limitation on Indebtedness and Liens.  Without the consent of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Note, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to:
 
(a)          create, incur, assume or be liable for any indebtedness for borrowed money unless:
 
(i)          such indebtedness is intercompany indebtedness or
 
(ii)           the aggregate principal amount of such indebtedness does not exceed $5,000,000;
 
(b)          create, incur, assume or be liable for obligations, whether or not contingent, in respect of equity securities subject to repurchase or redemption (other than obligations to repurchase Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to an employee benefit plan as a result of the applicable employee’s termination, death or disability or in order to satisfy applicable statutory or regulatory obligations);
 
(c)          create, incur, assume or be liable for all obligations owing under any interest rate, currency or commodity swap agreement, interest rate cap or collar agreement, or other hedging or swap agreement or arrangement, in each case (i) entered for speculative purposes and not for hedging purposes, and (ii) if and to the extent such items would appear as a liability upon a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP;
 
21

Section 7.2          Taxation.
 
(a)          Any and all payments (or deemed payments) to be made (or deemed made) by the Company to the Holder of this Note shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any taxes, duties or similar charges imposed by any taxing authority. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any taxes, duties or governmental charges from any such payment (or deemed payment), the sum payable (or deemed payable) by the Company to the Holder shall be increased as necessary so that after such withholding or deduction has been made (including such deduction and withholding applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7.2), the Holder receives an amount equal to what it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
 
(b)          If the Holder receives a demand or notice (a “Demand”) that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for any Israeli taxes payable by the Holder in connection with any payment (or deemed payment) made by the Company to the Holder of this Note, including any penalties, interest and linkage differentials arising therefrom or with respect thereto, the Holder shall, within 30 days after receiving the Demand, notify the Company in writing of such Demand, together with a copy of all papers served with respect to such Demand and any other relevant information known to the Holder (provided that any failure by the Holder to provide such notice to the Company within such period will not relieve the Company of any liability to the Holder under this Agreement, except and only to the extent that the Company demonstrates that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure by the Holder to provide such notice within such period). If the Company gives written notice to the Holder within seven days after the Holder has delivered such written notice, that the Company (i) elects to assume the defense of the Demand (at the Company’s own cost and expense) and (ii) will fully indemnify the Holder against such Demand, including any penalties, interest and linkage differentials arising therefrom or with respect thereto, then the Company shall have the right to defend such Demand by all appropriate proceedings and shall have full control of such proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof (provided, however, that the Company shall not have the power to enter into any settlement or compromise that includes any assumption of non-monetary liability by the Holder).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to indemnify the Holder if such Israeli taxes are related to the Holder being (currently or in the past) a tax resident of or having a permanent establishment or an Israeli affiliate in Israel, or as a result of any present or former connection (other than any connection resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Note) between the Holder and the State of Israel.
 
22

(c)          All payments (or deemed payments) made by the Company to the Holder of this Note shall be considered exclusive of any value added tax or any other tax of a similar nature, which shall be borne and paid solely by the Company.
