(Hereinafter: (i) the Ordinary Shares purchasable hereunder or any other securities which may be issued by the Company in substitution therefor, are referred to as the “Warrant Shares”; (ii) the price of USD 0.34 payable hereunder for each of the Warrant Shares, as adjusted in the manner set forth hereinafter, is referred to as the “Exercise Price” and (iii) this Warrant and all warrants hereafter issued in exchange or substitution for this Warrant are referred to as the “Warrants”.
