On March 10, 2014, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with accredited and institutional investors (the “Investors”) providing for the issuance of 982,344 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), at a purchase price of $5.15 per ADS, and warrants to purchase 491,172 additional ADSs in a private placement (the “Offering”). The Offering closed on the same day.
The warrants may be exercised at any time after September 10, 2014 for a period of four years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $6.43 per ADS, subject to adjustment as set forth therein. The warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis if after September 10, 2014 there is no effective registration statement registering the ADSs underlying the warrants.
We also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to prepare and file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registering the resale of the ADSs issued to the Investors together with the ADSs underlying warrants issued to the Investors and the placement agent on or prior to 30 days following the closing date and to use our reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 60 days following the closing date (or 90 days in the event of a full review by the SEC). The Registration Rights Agreement provides for the payment of monthly registration delay payments of 1% of the purchase price paid by the Investors up to an aggregate of 9% upon the occurrence of certain events outlined in the Registration Rights Agreement, including, the Company’s failure to timely file the registration statement, have the registration statement timely declared effective as required by the Registration Rights Agreement or maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement subject to certain allowable grace periods.
In connection with the Offering, the Company’s officers and directors entered into lock-up agreements pursuant to which they may not, among other things, offer or sell ADSs or ADS equivalents until 30 days after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, for a period of 60 days following closing, the Company may not offer or sell any of its securities, subject to certain exceptions.
Roth Capital Partners, LLC acted as exclusive placement agent for the private placement and at closing is entitled to a placement fee of $303,545 and placement agent warrants to purchase 49,117 ADSs exercisable at $6.43 per ADS for four years. The placement agent warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis at any time after September 10, 2014 and contain registration rights covering the resale of the ADSs underlying the placement agent warrants.
The securities were offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The investors have represented that they are accredited investors, as that term is defined in Regulation D, and have acquired the securities for their own account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof.
The foregoing summaries of the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, Warrants, Lock-Up Agreements and Placement Agent Warrant are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such documents attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2. 99.3, 99.4 and 99.5, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, including by way of a Fundamental Transaction (unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Warrants). A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder in compliance with applicable securities laws and without the consent of the Company, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.

Each party agrees and acknowledges that the Placement Agent may rely on the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants of the Company contained in this Agreement and may rely on the representations and warranties of the respective Buyers contained in this Agreement as if such representations, warranties, agreements, and covenants, as applicable, were made directly to the Placement Agent. The parties further agreement that the Placement Agent may rely on or, if the Placement Agent so requests, be specifically named as an addressee of, the legal opinions to be delivered pursuant to Section 7(ii) of this Agreement.
- 33 - |
(j) Exculpation of Placement Agent . Each party hereto agrees for the express benefit of each of the Placement Agent, their affiliates and representatives that:
(i) Neither the Placement Agent nor any of its affiliates or any of its representatives (1) has any duties or obligations other than those specifically set forth herein or in the Engagement Letter; (2) shall be liable for any improper payment made in accordance with the information provided by the Company; (3) makes any representation or warranty, or has any responsibilities as to the validity, accuracy, value or genuineness of any information, certificates or documentation delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated hereby; or (4) shall be liable (x) for any action taken, suffered or omitted by any of them in good faith and reasonably believed to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement or any Transaction Document or (y) for anything which any of them may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Document, except for such party's own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.
(ii) The Placement Agent, and its affiliates and representatives shall be entitled to (1) rely on, and shall be protected in acting upon, any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter or any other document or security delivered to any of them by or on behalf of the Company, and (2) be indemnified by the Company for acting as Placement Agent hereunder pursuant the indemnification provisions set forth in the Engagement Letter.
(k) Survival . Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 8, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyers contained in Sections 2 and 3, and the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 9 that are intended to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
(l) Further Assurances . Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
- 34 - |
(m) Indemnification . In consideration of each Buyer's execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company's other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and each other holder of the Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons' agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the " Indemnitees ") from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (the " Indemnified Liabilities "), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (iii) any disclosure made by such Buyer pursuant to Section 4(i), or (iv) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 9(m) shall be the same as those set forth in Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement..
(n) No Strict Construction . The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
(o) Remedies . Each Buyer and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.
(p) Rescission and Withdrawal Right . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
- 35 - |
(q) Payment Set Aside . To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyers hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
(r) Independent Nature of Buyers' Obligations and Rights . The obligations of each Buyer under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges and each Buyer confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
(s) Currency . Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement are in United States Dollars. All amounts owing under this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall be paid in United States dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies shall be converted in the United States dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. " Exchange Rate " means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into United States dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the United States dollar exchange rate as published in The Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.
(t) Judgment Currency .
(i) If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing any judgment against the Company in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 9(t) referred to as the " Judgment Currency ") an amount due in United States Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding:
- 36 - |
(1) the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date; or
(2) the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section being hereinafter referred to as the " Judgment Conversion Date ").
(ii) If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 9(t)(i)(2) above, there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of United States Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.
(iii) Any amount due from the Company under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement.

Warrant To Purchase Ordinary Shares Represented By American Depositary Shares
Warrant No.: __________
Number of American Depositary Shares: __________________
Date of Issuance: March 10, 2014 (" Issuance Date ")
Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd., an Israeli limited company (the " Company "), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged , [BUYER] , the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the " Holder "), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, at any time or times on or after September 10, 2014 (the " Initial Exercisability Date "), but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date, (as defined below), ______________ (_____________) 1 fully paid nonassessable Ordinary Shares (as defined below) represented by ______________ (_____________) American Depositary Shares (" ADSs "), subject to adjustment as provided herein (the " Warrant ADSs "). For purposes of clarification, each ADS represents two (2) Ordinary Shares. Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant to Purchase Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares (including any Warrants to Purchase Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this " Warrant "), shall have the meanings set forth in Section 17. This Warrant is one of the Warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares (the " SPA Warrants ") issued pursuant to Section 1 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 10, 2014 (the " Subscription Date "), by and among the Company and the investors (the " Buyers ") referred to therein (the " Securities Purchase Agreement "). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the definitions ascribed to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
1 Insert 50% of the number of Ordinary Shares (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) purchased by the Holder pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a) Mechanics of Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any Trading Day on or after the Initial Exercisability Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the " Exercise Notice "), of the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant ADSs as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the " Aggregate Exercise Price ") in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds or, (B) if the provisions of Section 1(d) are applicable, by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant ADSs shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant ADSs. On or before the first (1 st ) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder and the Company's transfer agent (the " Transfer Agent ") or The Bank of New York Mellon, the Depositary (the " Depositary ") for the ADSs. On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) on or prior to the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice (the " ADS Delivery Date ") (provided that if the Aggregate Exercise Price has not been delivered by such date, the ADS Delivery Date shall be one (1) Trading Day after the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of Cashless Exercise) is delivered), the Company shall (x) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (" DTC ") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Warrant ADSs are subject to an effective resale registration statement in favor of the Holder or, if exercised via Cashless Exercise, at a time when Rule 144 would be available for immediate resale of the Warrant ADSs by the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Warrant ADSs to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or the Warrant ADSs are not subject to an effective resale registration statement in favor of the Holder or, if exercised via Cashless Exercise, at a time when Rule 144 would not be available for immediate resale of the Warrant ADSs by the Holder, issue and deposit with the Depositary a number of Warrant ADSs to which the Holder is entitled in respect of that exercise and instruct the Depositary to execute and deliver to that Holder ADSs evidencing that number of Warrant ADSs. The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Depositary and the Transfer Agent and all other fees and expenses with respect to the issuance of Warrant ADSs via DTC. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant ADSs with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant ADSs are credited to the Holder's DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant ADSs, as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant ADSs represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant ADSs being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant ADSs issuable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant ADSs with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional Warrant ADSs are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant ADSs to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant ADSs upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant ADSs in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination.
(b) Exercise Price . For purposes of this Warrant, " Exercise Price " means $6.43, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
(c) Company's Failure to Timely Deliver Securities . If (I) the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder on or prior to the ADS Delivery Date, a certificate for the number of ADSs to which the Holder is entitled and register such underlying Ordinary Shares on the Company's share register or to credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for such number of shares of underlying Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's exercise of this Warrant or (II) if the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the resale of the Warrant ADSs that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the " Unavailable Warrant ADSs ") is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant ADSs and the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than as required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement so notify the Holder (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a "Notice Failure" and together with the event described in clause (I) above, an " Exercise Failure "), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Exercise Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the voiding of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Warrant. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the ADS Delivery Date (I) the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate representing the ADSs to the Holder and register the Ordinary Shares underlying such ADSs on the Company's share register or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of ADSs to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Company's obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below or (II) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) ADSs to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of ADSs issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder's request and in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the ADSs so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such ADSs) or credit such Holder's balance account with DTC for such ADSs shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such ADSs or credit such Holder's balance account with DTC and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of ADSs, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of exercise. Nothing shall limit the Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing ADS (or to electronically deliver such ADSs) upon the exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(d) Cashless Exercise . Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the resale of the Unavailable Warrant ADSs is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant ADSs, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and may, in connection with any such exercise of this Warrant on or after September 10, 2014, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the "Net Number" of ADSs determined according to the following formula (a " Cashless Exercise "):
Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)
B
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A= | the total number of ADSs with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised. |
B= | the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices of the ADSs for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice. |
C= | the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant ADSs at the time of such exercise. |
For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the 1933 Act, as in effect on the date hereof, it is intended that the Warrant ADSs issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant ADSs shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(e) Disputes . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant ADSs, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant ADSs that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 12.
(f) Limitation on Beneficial Ownership . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the " Maximum Percentage ") of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares underlying ADSs held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of Ordinary Shares underlying ADSs issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares underlying ADSs which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including the SPA Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(f). For purposes of this Section 1(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the " Exchange Act "). For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of Ordinary Shares underlying ADSs the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of Ordinary Shares as reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, Current Report on Form 6-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the " SEC "), as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other written notice by the Company or its transfer agent forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding (the " Reported Outstanding Share Number "). If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding Ordinary Shares is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder's beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(f), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant ADSs to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the " Reduction Shares ") and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of Ordinary Shares to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder's and the other Attribution Parties' aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the " Excess Shares ") shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61 st ) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61 st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of SPA Warrants that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(f) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
(g) Insufficient Authorized Shares . If at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved Ordinary Shares and ADSs to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at least a number of ADSs equal to the number of ADSs (the " Required Reserve Amount ") as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of this Warrant then outstanding (an " Authorized Share Failure "), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company's authorized Ordinary Shares and ADSs to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Warrant then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized Ordinary Shares. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders' approval of such increase in authorized Ordinary Shares and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares to approve the increase in the number of authorized Ordinary Shares, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent. In the event that upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Company does not have sufficient authorized ADSs to be delivered in satisfaction of such exercise or Ordinary Shares underlying such ADSs, then unless the Holder elects to void such attempted exercise, the Holder may require the Company to pay to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days of the applicable exercise, cash in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the arithmetic average of the two (2) highest intra-day trading prices of the Ordinary Shares (as reported by Bloomberg) on the date of attempted exercise (or, if such date is not a Trading Day, the Trading Day immediately prior to such date) and (ii) the Exercise Price, if positive, multiplied by the number of Warrant ADSs specified in the Notice of Exercise.
2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT ADSs . The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant ADSs shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Voluntary Adjustment By Company . The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(b) Adjustment Upon Subdivision or Combination of Ordinary Shares . If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding Ordinary Shares or ADS into a greater number of shares or ADSs, as applicable, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant ADSs will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its Ordinary Shares or ADSs into a smaller number of shares or ADSs, as applicable, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant ADSs will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
3. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS . Except with respect to such dividend or other distributions in which an adjustment to the Exercise Price has been made pursuant to Section 2 above or with respect to any distributions made to the Holder pursuant to Section 4(b) below, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a " Distribution "), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of ADSs acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution ( provided , however , that to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such Ordinary Shares or ADSs as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
4. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS .
(a) Purchase Rights . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above but excluding any Purchase Rights (as defined below) granted to the Holder pursuant to Section 4(b) below, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any Ordinary Shares or ADSs (the " Purchase Rights "), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of ADSs acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights ( provided , however , that to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such Ordinary Shares or ADSs as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
(b) Fundamental Transactions . The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements, including agreements, if so requested by the Holder, to deliver to each holder of the SPA Warrants in exchange for such SPA Warrants a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the Ordinary Shares reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction). Any security issuable or potentially issuable to the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Warrant on the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction shall be registered and freely tradable by the Holder without any restriction or limitation or the requirement to be subject to any holding period pursuant to any applicable securities laws if any securities issued to any other equityholder of the Company are registered on Form F-4 or any successor form. Upon the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction, and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction that, the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall succeed to, and the Company shall cause any Successor Entity or Successor Entities to jointly and severally succeed to, and be added to the term "Company" under this Warrant (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company in this Warrant, and, solely at the request of the Holder, if the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market, shall deliver (in addition to and without limiting any right under this Warrant) to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities (the " Successor Capital Stock ") equivalent to the Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction (such corresponding number of shares of Successor Capital Stock to be delivered to the Holder shall be equal to the quotient of (i) the aggregate dollar value of all consideration (including cash consideration and any consideration other than cash (" Non-Cash Consideration "), in such Fundamental Transaction, as such values are set forth in any definitive agreement for the Fundamental Transaction that has been executed at the time of the first public announcement of the Fundamental Transaction or, if no such value is determinable from such definitive agreement, as determined in accordance with Section 12 with the term "Non-Cash Consideration" being substituted for the term "Exercise Price") that the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction, had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) divided by (ii) the per share Closing Sale Price of such corresponding capital stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation or occurrence of the Fundamental Transaction), and with an identical exercise price to the Exercise Price hereunder (such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting after the consummation or occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction the economic value of this Warrant that was in effect immediately prior to the consummation or occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, as elected by the Holder solely at its option). Upon occurrence or consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction that, the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the occurrence or consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, as elected by the Holder solely at its option, ADSs, Successor Capital Stock or, in lieu of the ADSs or Successor Capital Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction), such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights), which for purposes of clarification may continue to be ADSs, if any, that the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction, had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders Ordinary Shares or ADSs are entitled to receive securities, cash, assets or other property with respect to or in exchange for Ordinary Shares or ADSs (a " Corporate Event "), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that, and any applicable Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall ensure that, and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of such Corporate Event that, the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the occurrence or consummation of the Corporate Event, ADSs or Successor Capital Stock or, if so elected by the Holder, in lieu of ADSs (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Corporate Event (but not in lieu of such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a), which shall continue to be receivable on the ADSs or on the such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property otherwise receivable with respect to or in exchange for ADSs), such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights and any Ordinary Shares) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence or consummation of such Corporate Event or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Corporate Event, had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Event or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Corporate Event (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant). The provisions of this Section 4(b) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events.
5. NONCIRCUMVENTION . The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Memorandum and Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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 of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of the Ordinary Shares or the ADSs receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares Ordinary Shares and ADSs underlying such Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any of the SPA Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares and ADSs, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the SPA Warrants, the number of Ordinary Shares and ADSs as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the SPA Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).
6. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant ADSs which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
7. REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS .
(a) Transfer of Warrant . If this Warrant is to be transferred in accordance with its terms, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant ADSs being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant ADSs then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant ADSs not being transferred.
(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant . Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant ADSs then underlying this Warrant.
(c) Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants . This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant ADSs then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant ADSs as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided , however , that no SPA Warrants for fractional Ordinary Shares shall be given.
(d) Issuance of New Warrants . Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant ADSs then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), the Warrant ADSs designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant ADSs then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.
8. NOTICES .

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will give written notice to the Holder (i) immediately upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, (B) with respect to any grants, issuances or sales of any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property to holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation; provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder.
9. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER .

10. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; JURY TRIAL . This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. The Company hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to the Company at the address set forth in Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.

THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
11. CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS . This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all the Buyers and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.

If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the Warrant ADSs within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (a) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price or the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant ADSs to the Company's independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause at its expense the accountant to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations.

13. REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF . The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
14. TRANSFER .

15. SEVERABILITY . If any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
16. DISCLOSURE .

In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to such Holder contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such indication, the Holder shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.

The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Additional Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an Additional Registration Statement on Form F-3 covering the resale of all of the Additional Registrable Securities not previously registered on an Additional Registration Statement hereunder. To the extent the staff of the SEC does not permit the Additional Required Registration Amount to be registered on an Additional Registration Statement, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to file Additional Registration Statements successively trying to register on each such Additional Registration Statement the maximum number of remaining Additional Registrable Securities until the Additional Required Registration Amount has been registered with the SEC. In the event that Form F-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e). Each Additional Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least that number of ADSs equal to the Additional Required Registration Amount determined as of the date such Additional Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(f). Each Additional Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the " Plan of Distribution " and " Selling Stockholders " sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B .

(c) Allocation of Registrable Securities . The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase or decrease in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time the Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase or decrease thereof is declared effective by the SEC. In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers any of such Investor's Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor. Any ADSs included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Investors which are covered by such Registration Statement. In no event shall the Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.
(d) Legal Counsel . Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Required Holders shall have the right to select one legal counsel to review and oversee any registration pursuant to this Section 2 (" Legal Counsel "), which shall be Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP or such other law firm designated in writing by the Required Holders. The Company and Legal Counsel shall reasonably cooperate with each other in performing the Company's obligations under this Agreement.
(e) Ineligibility for Form F-3 . In the event that Form F-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form F-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form F-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.
(f) Sufficient Number of ADSs Registered . In the event the number of ADSs available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) is insufficient to cover the Required Registration Amount of Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement or an Investor's allocated portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(c), the Company shall amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) calendar days after the necessity therefor arises. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of ADSs available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed "insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities" if at any time the number of ADSs available for resale under the Registration Statement is less than the product determined by multiplying (i) the Required Registration Amount as of such time by (ii) 0.90. The calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants, and such calculation shall assume the Warrants are then exercisable in full into ADSs.

Registration Delay Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the dates set forth above and (II) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Registration Delay Payments payable by the Company to an Investor exceed nine percent (9.0%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of such Investor's Registrable Securities and (ii) no Registration Delay Payments shall be due pursuant to this Section 2(g) (A) with respect to an Investor, as a result of and solely to the extent of a Failure caused solely by such Investor or (B) with respect to all Investors, as a result of and solely to the extent of a Failure caused solely by Legal Counsel and (C) with respect to an Investor, during any period that such Investor may sell its Registrable Securities under Rule 144 without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or any successor thereto) promulgated under the 1933 Act.

(b) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 20-F, Form 6-K or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the " 1934 Act "), the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.
(c) The Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon (i) a Registration Statement at least five (5) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to all Registration Statements (except for Annual Reports on Form 20-F, Current Reports on Form 6-K, and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC, and (B) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects. The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto without the prior approval of Legal Counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge, (i) copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Registration Statement, (ii) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, and all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, one copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto to the extent any of such documents are not available on the EDGAR system.

(d) The Company shall, upon request, furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, ten (10) copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor, to the extent any of such documents are not available on the EDGAR system.

(e) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale by Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or "blue sky" laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States requested by an Investor, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
(f) The Company shall notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and, subject to Section 3(r), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and, upon request, deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel and each Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel or such Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed (other than by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 20-F, Form 6-K or any analogous report under the 1934 Act), and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel and each Investor by facsimile or email on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail) (other than by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 20-F, Form 6-K or any analogous report under the 1934 Act), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company's reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate. By 9:30 a.m. New York City time on the date following the date any post-effective amendment has become effective, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement.
(g) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and any Investor) shall be deemed to limit the Investors' ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.
(j) Except with such information as is customarily disclosed in resale registration statements filed with the SEC, the Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws or any request of the SEC, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement.

(p) The Company shall otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration hereunder.

(q) Within two (2) Business Days after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the depositary for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A .
(r) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Effective Date, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company and its counsel, in the best interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a " Grace Period "); provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Investors in writing of the existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company will not disclose the content of such material, non-public information to the Investors) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) notify the Investors in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided further, that no Grace Period shall exceed ten (10) consecutive days and during any three hundred sixty five (365) day period such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of thirty (30) days and the first day of any Grace Period must be at least two (2) Trading Days after the last day of any prior Grace Period (each, an " Allowable Grace Period "). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 3(g) hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(g) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause the Depositary to deliver unlegended ADSs and Warrants to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale, prior to the Investor's receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled.
(s) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify any Investor as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the SEC, the Principal Market or any Eligible Market and any Buyer being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement); provided , however , that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from including the disclosure found in the "Plan of Distribution" section attached hereto as Exhibit B in the Registration Statement. If the SEC requires that an Investor be identified as an underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Investor shall either so consent, or such Investor’s Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such Registration Statement without further obligation hereunder by the Company.
13 |
(t) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Buyers in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if (and only if) so requested by Roth Capital Partners LLC (" Roth ") in writing, the ADSs (the " Roth Warrant ADSs ") issued and issuable to Roth upon the exercise of the American Depositary Shares Warrant, dated as of March 10, 2014, issued by the Company to Roth shall be deemed to be Registrable Securities for all purposes under this Agreement. Roth shall be deemed a Buyer for purposes of this Agreement.

Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d); and (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
15 |
(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents and representatives and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an " Indemnified Party "), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c), such Investor shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds (sale price less commissions) to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
16 |
(c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for all such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as applicable, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as the case may be, and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Investors holding at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(d) The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.
(e) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
7. Contribution .
To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds (sale price less commissions) received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

8. Reports Under the 1934 Act .
With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (" Rule 144 "), the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
(c) furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual 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 to permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Investors to any transferee of all or any portion of such Investor's Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment and the transferee or assignee agrees in writing to assume in full the obligations set forth under this Agreement; (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
10. Amendment of Registration Rights .
Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof 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 Required Holders; provided that any such amendment or waiver that complies with the foregoing but that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Investor relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Investors shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Investor. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities.

Re: | Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are special US counsel Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd., an Israeli limited company (the " Company "), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 10, 2014 (the " Securities Purchase Agreement "), entered into by and among the Company and the buyers named therein (collectively, the " Holders ") pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holders ordinary shares of the Company, par value NIS 0.25 per share (" Ordinary Shares "), represented by American Depositary Shares (" ADSs "), and warrants (" Warrants ") exercisable for Ordinary Shares, represented by ADSs (the " Warrant ADSs "). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the " Registration Rights Agreement ") pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the ADSs issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the " Purchased ADSs ") and the ADSs issuable upon exercise of the Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " 1933 Act "). In connection with the Company's obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on March ___, 2014, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-_____________) (the " Registration Statement ") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the " SEC ") relating to the Registrable Securities which names each of the Holders as a selling stockholder thereunder.
In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC's staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS ] on [ ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS ] and we have no knowledge, after reviewing the list of stop orders contained on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov/litigation/stoporders.shtml, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.
This letter shall serve as our standing instruction to you that the Purchased ADSs and Warrant ADSs are freely transferable by the Holders pursuant to the Registration Statement. You need not require further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance or reissuance of Ordinary Shares represented by the Purchased ADSs or Warrant ADSs to the Holders as contemplated by the Company's Irrevocable Depositary Instructions dated March 10, 2014.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The ADSs being offered by the selling stockholders are those previously issued to the selling stockholders, and those issuable to the selling stockholders, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and upon exercise of the warrants. For additional information regarding the issuance of those ADSs and warrants, see "Private Placement of ADSs and Warrants" above. We are registering the ADSs in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the ADSs for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the warrants issued, and the ADSs issued and issuable, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the ADSs by each of the selling stockholders. The second column lists the number of ADSs beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of ADSs and warrants, as of ________, 2014, assuming exercise of the warrants held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on conversions or exercises.
The third column lists the ADSs being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.
In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of at least the sum of (i) the maximum number of ADSs issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date the registration statement is initially filed with the SEC and (ii) the maximum number of ADSs issuable upon exercise of the related warrants and the warrants issued to Roth as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the registration right agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the warrants. The fourth columns assume the sale of all of the ADSs offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the warrants (other than the warrants issued to Roth), a selling stockholder may not exercise the warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of Ordinary Shares which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding Ordinary Shares following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination Ordinary Shares not yet issuable upon exercise of the warrants which have not been exercised. Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, a selling stockholder may not be issued additional ADSs to the extent such issuance would cause such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of Ordinary Shares which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding Ordinary Shares following such issuance, excluding for purposes of such determination Ordinary Shares not yet issuable pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their ADSs or warrants in this offering. See "Plan of Distribution."

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the ADSs issued and issuable pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and upon exercise of the warrants to permit the resale of these ADSs by the holders thereof and holders of the warrants from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of ADSs other than proceeds from the cash exercise of the warrants. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the ADSs.
The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the ADSs beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the ADSs are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent's commissions. The ADSs may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,
· | on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; |
· | in the over-the-counter market; |
· | in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; |
· | through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise; |
· | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
· | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
· | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
· | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
· | privately negotiated transactions; |
· | short sales; |
· | sales pursuant to Rule 144; |
· | broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
Annex I- 3 |
· | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
· | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling ADSs to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the ADSs for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of ADSs or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the ADSs or Ordinary Shares underlying such ADSs in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell ADS or Ordinary Shares underlying such ADSs stock short and deliver shares of ADSs covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge ADSs to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the warrants or ADSs owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the ADSs from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the ADSs in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the ADSs may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the ADSs is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of ADSs being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.
Under the securities laws of some states ADSs may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states ADSs may not be sold unless such ADSs have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the ADSs registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
Annex I- 4 |
The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the ADSs by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the ADSs to engage in market-making activities with respect to the warrants or ADSs. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the ADSs and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the ADSs.
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the ADSs pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $[ ] in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws; provided, however, that a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreements, or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.
Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the ADSs will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Re: Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. - Lock-Up Agreement
Dear Sirs:
This Lock-Up Agreement is being delivered to you in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement (the " Purchase Agreement "), dated as of March 10, 2014 by and among Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. (the " Company ") and the investors party thereto (the " Buyers "), with respect to the issuance of ordinary shares of the Company, par value NIS 0.25 per share (the " Ordinary Shares "), represented by American Depositary Shares (" ADSs ") (collectively, the " Purchased ADSs ") and warrants (the " Warrants "), which will be exercisable to purchase ADSs. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
In order to induce the Buyers to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the undersigned agrees that, commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date that is thirty (30) days immediately following the date that one or more Registration Statement(s) (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the resale of all Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) has been continuously effective and available for the re-sale of all such Registrable Securities, but in no event later than the date that all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (the " Lock-Up Period "), the undersigned will not, and will cause all affiliates (as defined in Rule 144) of the undersigned not to, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, any ADSs or ADS Equivalents, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to any ADSs or ADS Equivalents owned directly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the " Undersigned's ADSs "), 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 any of the Undersigned's ADSs, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of ADSs or other securities, in cash or otherwise, (3) make any demand for or exercise any right or cause to be filed a registration statement, including any amendments thereto, with respect to the registration of any ADSs or ADS Equivalents (other than a registration statement on Form F-8) or (4) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.
The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned, and any affiliate of the undersigned, from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Undersigned's ADSs even if the Undersigned's ADSs would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include, without limitation, any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any of the Undersigned's ADSs or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from the Undersigned's ADSs. As used herein, " ADS Equivalents " means, collectively, Options and Convertible Securities (each as defined in the Warrants).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the Undersigned's ADSs (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein or (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value. For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, "immediate family" shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin. The undersigned now has, and, except as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, for the duration of this Lock-Up Agreement will have, good and marketable title to the Undersigned's ADSs, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company's transfer agent (the " Transfer Agent ") and registrar against the transfer of the Undersigned's ADSs except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
In order to enforce this covenant, the Company shall impose irrevocable stop-transfer instructions preventing the Transfer Agent from effecting any actions in violation of this Lock-Up Agreement.
No provision in this agreement shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the exercise, exchange or conversion by the undersigned of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into ADSs, as applicable; provided that the undersigned does not transfer the ADSs acquired on such exercise, exchange or conversion during the Lock-Up Period, unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of this lock-up agreement.
The undersigned acknowledges that the execution, delivery and performance of this Lock-Up Agreement is a material inducement to each Buyer to complete the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance of the undersigned's obligations hereunder. The undersigned hereby represents that the undersigned has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Lock-Up Agreement, that the undersigned has received adequate consideration therefor and that the undersigned will indirectly benefit from the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.
2 |
The undersigned understands and agrees that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned's heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
This Lock-Up Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but both of which shall be considered one and the same instrument.
This Lock-Up Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the State of New York, or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York to be applied. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal laws of the State of New York will control the interpretation and construction of this Lock-Up Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction's choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

This certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Roth Capital Partners LLC (“ Holder ”) is entitled to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, from Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd., an Israeli limited company (the “ Company ”), 98,234 fully paid and nonassessable ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.25 per share (" Ordinary Shares ") of the Company represented by 49,117 American Depositary Shares (" ADSs "), in accordance with Section 2 hereof during the period commencing on September 10, 2014 (the “ Commencement Date ”) and ending at 11:59 p.m., New York time, on March 10, 2018 (the “ Expiration Date ”), at which time this Warrant will expire and become void unless earlier terminated as provided herein. For purposes of clarification, each ADS represents two (2) Ordinary Shares. The ADSs of the Company for which this Warrant is exercisable, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, are hereinafter referred to as the “ Warrant ADSs .”

It is hereby clarified that in any event, the Exercise Price shall not be lower than NIS 0.20 per Warrant ADS.
2. Exercise and Payment .

Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant ADSs as is computed using the following formula:
where: | X = Y (A-B) |

X = the number of ADSs to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 2.
Y = the number of ADSs covered by this Warrant in respect of which the net issuance election is made pursuant to this Section 2.
A = the fair market value of one ADS, as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.
B = the Exercise Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the net issuance election is made pursuant to this Section 2.
For purposes of this Section 2, (i) the “ fair market value ” per ADS of the ADSs shall mean the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices (as defined in the SPA Warrants) of the ADSs for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days (as defined in the SPA Warrants) ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Notice of Exercise and (ii) the " SPA Warrants " shall mean the warrants issued pursuant to Section 1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of March 7, 2014 among the Company and the investors listed on the Schedule of Buyers attached thereto.
3. Reservation of ADSs . The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of ADSs or other securities of the Company from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

4. Delivery of Certificates Representing ADSs . Within a reasonable time after exercise, in whole or in part, of this Warrant, the Company shall issue in the name of and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable ADSs which the Holder shall have requested in the Notice of Exercise or Net Issuance Election, as applicable. If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant for the unexercised portion of this Warrant at the time of delivery of such stock certificate or certificates.
2 |
5. No Fractional ADSs . No fractional ADSs or scrip representing fractional ADSs will be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant ADSs to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number..
6. Listing . Prior to the issuance of any ADSs upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall secure the listing of such ADSs upon each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which ADSs are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant) and shall maintain, so long as any ADSs shall be so listed, such listing of all ADSs from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, and shall maintain such listing of, any other securities of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long as any securities of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange or automated quotation system.
7. Charges, Taxes and Expenses . The Company shall pay all transfer taxes or other incidental charges, if any, in connection with the transfer of the Warrant ADSs purchased pursuant to the exercise hereof from the Company to the Holder.
8. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant . Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of this Warrant.
9. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, Etc . If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday or a Sunday or shall be a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding weekday that is not a legal holiday.
10. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant ADSs . The Exercise Price and the number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances . If the Company shall at any time after the date hereof but prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its outstanding securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its outstanding securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, the number of Warrant ADSs as to which this Warrant is exercisable as of the date of such subdivision, split-up or combination will be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments also will be made to the Exercise Price, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Warrant ADSs purchasable under this Warrant as of such date shall remain the same. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action that would cause the Exercise Price to be adjusted to an amount lower than 0.20 NIS per Warrant ADS.
3 |
(b) Stock Dividend . If at any time after the date hereof the Company declares a dividend or other distribution on Ordinary Shares payable in Ordinary Shares or Convertible Securities without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional Ordinary Shares or the Convertible Securities (including the additional Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the terms thereof), then the number of ADSs for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be increased as of the record date (or the date of such dividend distribution if no record date is set) for determining which holders of Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to receive such dividend, in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares (and Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Securities) as a result of such dividend, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount payable for the purchase of all the Warrant ADSs issuable hereunder immediately after the record date (or on the date of such distribution, if applicable) for such dividend will equal the aggregate amount so payable immediately before such record date (or on the date of such distribution, if applicable). As used herein, “Convertible Securities” means evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for, with or without payment of additional consideration, Ordinary Shares, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event or both.
(c) Other Distributions . If at any time after the date hereof the Company distributes to holders of its Ordinary Shares, other than as part of its dissolution or liquidation or the winding up of its affairs, any securities, any evidence of indebtedness or any of its assets (other than cash, Ordinary Shares or Convertible Securities), then the Company may, at its option, either (i) decrease the Exercise Price of this Warrant by an appropriate amount based upon the value distributed on each Ordinary Share as determined in good faith by the Company's board of directors or (ii) provide by resolution of the Company's board of directors that on exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall thereafter be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant ADSs otherwise receivable on exercise hereof, the number of shares or other securities or property which would have been received had this Warrant at the time been exercised.
(d) Merger . If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation when the Company is not the surviving corporation, then the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the aggregate Exercise Price then in effect, the number of ADSs or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation, which would have been received by Holder for the Warrant ADSs subject to this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised at such time.
(e) Reclassification, Etc . If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a change or reclassification of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, then the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of ADSs or other securities or property resulting from such change or reclassification, which would have been received by Holder for the Warrant ADSs subject to this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised at such time.
4 |
11. Notice of Adjustments; Notices . Whenever the Exercise Price or number of Warrant ADSs purchasable hereunder is adjusted pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Company must execute and deliver to the Holder a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and the Exercise Price and number of and kind of securities purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, and must cause a copy of such certificate to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder.
12. Rights As Stockholder; Notice to Holders . Nothing contained in this Warrant will be construed as conferring upon the Holder or his or its permitted transferees the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or of any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as shareholders of the Company. The Company will notify the Warrant Holder by registered mail if at any time prior to the expiration or exercise in full of the Warrant, any of the following events occur:
(a) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be proposed;
(b) a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding ADSs and other than a change in the par value of the Ordinary Shares) or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or change of Ordinary Shares or ADSs outstanding) or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety; or
(c) a taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other rights.
Such giving of notice will be simultaneous with the giving of notice to holders of Ordinary Shares. Such notice must specify the record date or the date of closing the stock transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to provide such notice will not affect the validity of any action taken in connection with such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or proposed merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
13. Restricted Securities . The Holder understands that this Warrant and, subject to the last sentence of this Section 13, the Warrant ADSs purchasable hereunder constitute “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are, or will be, acquired from the Company in transactions not involving a public offering and accordingly may not, under such laws and applicable regulations, be resold or transferred without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ 1933 Act ”) or an applicable exemption from such registration. Unless the Warrant ADSs are subsequently registered pursuant to Section 16 of this Warrant or may be sold under Rule 144 without any restrictions or limitations, the Holder further acknowledges that the securities legend on Exhibit A to the Notice of Exercise attached hereto shall be placed on any Warrant ADSs issued to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder exercises a net issuance under Section 2(b), the Warrant ADSs will be deemed to purchased under Section 3(a)(9) of the 1933 Act and will not be “restricted securities” or subject to legend if the Warrant has been held for a period of one year or more.
5 |
14. Certification of Investment Purpose . Unless a current registration statement under the 1933 Act shall be in effect with respect to the securities to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder covenants and agrees that, at the time of exercise hereof, it will deliver to the Company a written certification executed by the Holder that the securities acquired by him upon exercise hereof are for the account of such Holder and acquired for investment purposes only and that such securities are not acquired with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof.
15. Disposition of Warrants; Transferability .
(a) Holder hereby agrees not to make any disposition of any Warrants purchased hereunder unless and until :
(i) Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and provided a written summary of the terms and conditions of the proposed disposition; and
(ii) Holder shall have complied with all requirements of this Warrant applicable to the disposition of the Warrant.
The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Warrants which have been sold or transferred in violation of the provisions of this Section 15 or (ii) to treat as the owner of the Warrants, or otherwise to accord voting or dividend rights to, any transferee to whom the Warrant ADSs have been transferred in contravention of the terms of this Warrant.
(b) Transfer . This Warrant shall be transferable only on the books of the Company maintained at its principal office in 10 Bareket Street, Kiryat Matalon, P.O. Box 7537, Petach-Tikva 4951778, Israel, or wherever its principal office may then be located, upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by its duly authorized attorney or representative, accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall execute and deliver new Warrants to the person entitled thereto.
(c) Limitations on Transfer . This Warrant and the Warrant ADSs issuable upon exercise hereof may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of such securities (any such action, a “Transfer”) by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales of the public offering of the Warrant ADSs, except in accordance with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“ FINRA ”) Rule 5110(g)(2). This Warrant may be divided or combined, upon request to the Company by the Holder, into a certificate or certificates representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Warrant ADSs. If at the time of a Transfer, a Registration Statement is not in effect to register this Warrant, the Company may require the Holder to make such representations, and may place such legends on certificates representing this Warrant, as may be reasonably required in the opinion of counsel to the Company to permit a Transfer without such registration.

16. Registration Rights .
(a) Piggyback Registration . If at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the Company determines to register for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act any of its equity securities, other than on Form F-4 or Form F-8 or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business, or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, the Company shall send to each Holder of Warrants or Warrant ADSs written notice of such determination and, if within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice, such Holder shall so request in writing (hereafter a “ Selling Holder ”), the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all or any part of the Warrant ADSs issuable or issued upon exercise of the Warrants (the “ Registrable Securities ”) such Selling Holder requests to be registered. The obligations of the Company under this Section 16(a) may be waived by Holders holding a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities. In the event that the managing underwriter for an offering advises the Company in writing that the inclusion of such securities in the offering would be materially detrimental to the offering, such securities shall nevertheless be included in the Registration Statement, provided that the Holder and each holder of Warrant ADSs desiring to have their Warrant ADSs included in the Registration Statement agree in writing, for a period of 90 days following such offering, not to sell or otherwise dispose of such Warrant ADSs pursuant to such Registration Statement, which Registration Statement the Company shall keep updated and effective for a period of at least nine months following the expiration of such 90-day period.
(b) Obligations of the Holders . In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 16(a), the Selling Holders shall have the following obligations:

At least fifteen (15) days prior to the first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Selling Holder of the information the Company requires from each such Selling Holder (the “ Requested Information ”') if such Selling Holder elects to have any of such Selling Holder's Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 16(a).
(ii) Each Selling Holder by such Selling Holder's acceptance of the Registrable Securities agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Selling Holder has notified the Company in writing of such Selling Holder's election to exclude all of such Selling Holder's Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement; and
7 |
(iii) No Selling Holder may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Selling Holder (i) agrees to sell such Selling Holder's Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Selling Holders entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements, (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, and (iii) agrees to pay its pro rata share of all underwriting discounts and commissions and other fees and expenses of investment bankers and any manager or managers of such underwriting, except as provided in Section 16(c) below.
(c) Obligations of the Company . If and whenever the Company is required to use its best efforts to take action pursuant to any Federal or state law or regulation to permit the sale or other disposition of any Warrant ADSs purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant that are then held or that may be acquired upon exercise of the Warrants in order to effect or cause the registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act as provided in this Section 16, the Company shall, as expeditiously as practicable:
(i) Prepare and file with the SEC, as soon as practicable within ninety (90) days after the end of the period within which requests for registration may be given to the company a Registration Statement or Registration Statements relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the 1933 Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statements to become effective; provided that before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplements thereto, including documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of any Registration Statement, the Company will furnish to the Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement and the underwriters, if any, copies of all such documents provided to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such Holders and underwriters;
(ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to a Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for a reasonable period or as otherwise provided herein; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act; and comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to such Prospectus;

The Company shall reimburse the Selling Holders and each such underwriter or controlling person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 16(e)(1) shall not apply in such case to the extent any such Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by any Indemnified Person or underwriter for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(ii) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Selling Holder is participating, each such Selling Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the same extent and in the same manner set forth in Section 16(e)(i), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act, any underwriter and any other stockholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any of its directors or officers or any person who controls such stockholder or underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement, and such Selling Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 16(e)(ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Selling Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that provided, further, however, that no Selling Holder shall be liable under this Section 16(e) for only that amount of a Claim as does not exceed the net proceeds (sale price less commissions) to such Selling Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
12 |
(iii) The Company shall be entitled to receive indemnities from underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in any distribution to the same extent as provided above, with respect to information furnished in writing by such persons expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement.
(iv) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 16(e) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or investigation), such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is made against any indemnifying party under this Section 16(e), deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnifying Party shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Parties; such legal counsel shall be selected by the Indemnified Parties holding a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 16(f), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 16(e) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.
(v) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if, in connection with an underwritten public offering of Registrable Securities, the Company, the Selling Holders and the underwriter(s) enter into an underwriting or purchase agreement relating to such offering which contains provisions covering indemnification and contribution among the parties, the indemnification and contribution provisions of this Section 16(e) shall be deemed inoperative for purposes of such offering.
13 |
(f) Contribution . To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 16(e) to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided , however , that (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 16(e), (ii) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (iii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.
(g) Reports Under Exchange Act . With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Holders to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“ Rule 144 ”), the Company agrees to:
(i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; and
(ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); and

Can-Fite Completes $5 Million Private Placement
Petach Tikva, Israel – March 10, 2014 Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. (TASE:CFBI), (NYSE MKT:CANF), a biotechnology company with a pipeline of proprietary small molecule drugs that address inflammatory and cancer diseases, announced today that it has closed a private placement with mostly US healthcare focused institutional investors resulting in gross proceeds of $5 million.
"We are very pleased with the results of this financing and believe that this strongly positions us to advance our ongoing clinical trials,” commented Pnina Fishman, CEO of Can-fite. “We believe the quality of the investors participating in this financing is a strong endorsement of our clinical results to date and we look forward to aggressively proceeding forward with our development program with a view to executing on the milestones that we have set for 2014.”
In connection with the offering, the company issued 982,344 American Depositary Shares (ADSs) at a purchase price of $5.15 per ADS, and warrants to purchase 491,172 ADSs at an exercise price of $6.43 per ADS.
Roth Capital Partners acted as exclusive placement agent in the offering.
The company is receiving net proceeds of approximately $4.7 million from the private placement, after paying placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses, which will be used to fund the company's ongoing clinical trials and for working capital purposes.
The securities offered in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws. As part of the transaction, the company has agreed to file a resale registration statement on Form F-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 30 days of the closing for purposes of registering the resale of the ADS and ADS underlying the warrants issued in the private placement.
