Share Exchange

On December 29, 2010, InspireMD, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as Saguaro Resources, Inc.) (the “Company”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among the Company and InspireMD Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel (“InspireMD”). Subsequent to the date of execution of the Exchange Agreement, shareholders of InspireMD, holding 91.7% of InspireMD’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares, executed a joinder to the Exchange Agreement and became parties thereto (the “InspireMD Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, on March 31, 2011, the InspireMD Shareholders transferred all of their ordinary shares in InspireMD to the Company in exchange for 46,471,907 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company.  In addition, the remaining holders of InspireMD’s ordinary shares separately transferred all of their ordinary shares of InspireMD to the Company, in exchange for an aggregate of 4,194,756 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company.  As a result of these share exchanges, InspireMD became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement:
 
 
·
The InspireMD Shareholders transferred 5,725,962 ordinary shares of InspireMD (which represented 91.7% of InspireMD’s issued and outstanding capital stock immediately prior to the closing of the Share Exchange) to the Company in exchange for 46,471,907 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Separately, the holders of 516,792 ordinary shares of InspireMD transferred such shares to the Company in exchange for 4,194,756 shares of the Company’s common stock (collectively, the “Share Exchange”).

 
·
The Company assumed all of InspireMD’s obligations under InspireMD’s outstanding stock options. Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, InspireMD had outstanding stock options to purchase an aggregate of 937,256 shares of its ordinary shares, which outstanding options became options to purchase an aggregate of 7,606,770 shares of common stock of the Company after giving effect to the Share Exchange.  Neither the Company nor InspireMD had any other options to purchase shares of capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Share Exchange.

 
·
Three-year warrants to purchase up to 125,000 ordinary shares of InspireMD at an exercise price of $10 per share were assumed by the Company and converted into warrants to purchase 1,014,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.23 per share.

 
·
Lynn Briggs resigned as the sole officer and director of the Company, and simultaneously with the Share Exchange, a new board of directors and new officers were appointed for the Company. The Company’s new board of directors consists of Ofir Paz and Asher Holzer. In addition, immediately following the Share Exchange, the Company appointed Ofir Paz as its chief executive officer, Asher Holzer as its president and chairman of the board of directors, and Craig Shore as its chief financial officer, secretary and treasurer.
 
 
 

 
 
In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange, the Company sold 6,454,002 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $1.50 per share and five-year warrants to purchase up to 3,226,999 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.80 per share in a private placement to accredited investors (the “Private Placement”). As part of the Private Placement, certain holders of the 8% convertible debentures, in an aggregate principal amount of $1,580,000 (the “Bridge Notes”), surrendered $667,596 of outstanding principal and interest due under such Bridge Notes in exchange for 445,064 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 225,532 shares of common stock (the “Debt Conversions”).  As a result, the Company received aggregate cash proceeds of $9,013,404 in the Private Placement.  The Company, however, permitted one investor in the Private Placement to deliver only $1,000,000 of its $2,000,000 subscription amount to the Company, so long as such investor agreed to deliver the additional $1,000,000 on or prior to April 15, 2011.  The unfunded subscription amount for this investor is not included in the amounts listed above.  In addition, as a result of the Debt Conversions, there was $1,000,000 of unpaid principal outstanding under the Bridge Notes, which notes were assumed by the Company with the maturity date being extended to May 15, 2011.

Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC served as the Company’s placement agent in the Private Placement and received a fee of $285,813.50, expenses reimbursement of $15,000 and was issued a five-year warrant to purchase 373,740 shares of our common stock, at an initial exercise price of $1.80 per share, with terms identical to the warrants issued to investors in the Private Placement.

Immediately following the closing of the Share Exchange and the Private Placement, under the terms of an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations (the “Conveyance Agreement”), the Company transferred all of its pre-Share Exchange assets and liabilities to its wholly owned subsidiary, Saguaro Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SplitCo”). Thereafter, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), the Company transferred all of the outstanding capital stock of SplitCo to Lynn Briggs in exchange for certain indemnifications, waivers and releases, along with the cancellation of an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock held by Lynn Briggs (the “Split-Off”), leaving 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding held by persons who were stockholders of the Company prior to the Share Exchange.

In connection with the Share Exchange, the Company also entered into a stock escrow agreement with certain stockholders and Grushko & Mittman, P.C. (the “Stock Escrow Agent”), pursuant to which these stockholders deposited 1,500,000 shares of common stock held by them with the Stock Escrow Agent, which shares shall be released to the Company for cancellation or surrender to an entity designated by the Company should the Company record at least $10 million in consolidated revenue, as certified by the Company’s independent auditors, during the first 12 months following the closing of the Private Placement, yet fail, after a good faith effort, to have the Company’s common stock approved for listing on a national securities exchange. On the other hand, should the Company fail to record at least $10 million in consolidated revenue during the first 12 months following the closing of the Private Placement or have its common stock listed on a national securities exchange within 12 months following the closing on the Private Placement, these escrowed shares shall be released back to the stockholders.

The foregoing description of the Share Exchange and related transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the (i) Exchange Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 5, 2011, (ii) the Conveyance Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 hereto and (iii) the Stock Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 hereto, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

The foregoing description of the Private Placement and related transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the (i) Securities Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.5 hereto and (ii) the Form of $1.80 Warrant, which is filed as Exhibit 10.6 hereto, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Following (i) the closing of the Share Exchange, (ii) the closing of the Private Placement for $9,013,404, (iii) the conversion of $667,596 of the Bridge Notes and (iv) the cancellation of 7,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the Split-Off, there were 63,120,665 shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding.  Approximately 80.3% of such issued and outstanding shares were held by the InspireMD Shareholders, approximately 9.5% were held by the Company’s stockholders prior to the Share Exchange and approximately 10.2% were held by the investors in the Private Placement. The foregoing percentages exclude options to purchase up to 9,468,100 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plan and warrants and other options to purchase up to 7,939,925 shares of common stock (see “Description of Capital Stock”).
 
The shares of the Company’s common stock issued to the InspireMD Shareholders in connection with the Share Exchange and the shares of common stock issued to the investors in the Private Placement were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated under that section, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. These securities may not be offered or sold in the U.S. absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. Certificates representing these shares contain a legend stating the restrictions applicable to such shares.

Changes to the Business . The Company intends to carry on InspireMD’s business as its sole line of business. The Company has relocated its executive offices to 3 Menorat Hamor St. Tel Aviv, Israel and its telephone number is 972-3-6917691.

All directors hold office for three-year terms until the election and qualification of their successors.  Officers are elected by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board.
 
Accounting Treatment .  The Share Exchange is being accounted for as a recapitalization. InspireMD is the acquirer for accounting purposes and, consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the financial statements herein are those of InspireMD and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of InspireMD.
 
Tax Treatment .  The Share Exchange is intended to constitute a tax-deferred exchange of property governed by Section 351 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or such other tax free reorganization or restructuring provisions as may be available under the Code. Any gain required to be recognized will be subject to regular individual or corporate federal income taxes, as the case may be.

Description of Our Business
 
As used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, all references to “we,” “our” and “us” for periods prior to the closing of the Share Exchange refer to InspireMD Ltd., and for periods subsequent to the closing of the Share Exchange refer to InspireMD, Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (including InspireMD Ltd).
 
Overview
 
We are an innovative medical device company focusing on the development and commercialization of our proprietary stent platform technology, MGuard™.  MGuard™ provides embolic protection in stenting procedures by placing a micron mesh sleeve over a stent (see photograph below of an MGuard™ Stent). Our initial products are marketed for use in patients with acute coronary syndromes, notably acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) and saphenous vein graft coronary interventions (bypass surgery). Of patients with acute myocardial infarction and saphenous vein graft coronary interventions, approximately 15% and 43%, respectively, experience major adverse cardiac events, including cardiac death, heart attack, and restenting of the artery. When performing stenting procedures in patients with acute coronary symptoms, interventional cardiologists face a difficult dilemma in choosing between bare-metal stents, which have a high rate of restenosis (formation of new blockages), and drug-eluting (drug-coated) stents, which have a high rate of late thrombosis (formation of clots months or years after implantation), require administration of anti-platelet drugs for at least one year post procedure, are more costly than bare-metal stents and have additional side effects.  We believe that MGuard™ is a simple, seamless and complete solution for these patients. In clinical trials conducted in Europe and Latin America, MGuard™ has demonstrated a substantial advantage in efficacy and safety over other existing solutions, principally bare-metal stents and drug-eluting stents.

MGuard TM Sleeve – Microscopic View

 
  
We intend to use our MGuard™ technology in a broad range of coronary related situations in which complex lesions are required and make it an industry standard for treatment of acute coronary syndromes. We believe that patients will benefit from a cost-effective alternative with a greater clinical efficacy and safety profile than other stent technologies. We believe that with our MGuard™ technology, we are well positioned to emerge as a key player in the global stent market.

We also intend to apply our technology to develop additional products used for other vascular procedures, specifically carotid (the arteries that supply blood to the brain) and peripheral (other arteries) procedures.

In October 2007, our first generation product, the MGuard™ Coronary, received CE Mark approval for treatment of coronary arterial disease in the European Union. CE Mark is a mandatory conformance mark on many products marketed in the European Economic Area and certifies that a product has met EU consumer safety, health or environmental requirements. We began shipping our product to customers in Europe in January 2008 and have since expanded our global distribution network to Canada, Southeast Asia, India and Latin America.

Our initial MGuard™ products incorporated a stainless steel stent.  We are in the process of replacing this stainless steel platform with a more advanced cobalt-chromium based platform, which we refer to as MGuard Prime™.  We believe the new platform will be superior because cobalt-chromium stents are generally known in the industry to provide better outcomes and possibly even a reduction in major adverse cardiac events. We believe we can use and leverage the MGuard™ clinical trial results to market MGuard Prime™.  MGuard™ refers to both our initial products and MGuard Prime™, as applicable.

InspireMD is incorporated as a limited company under the laws of the State of Israel and principally based in Tel Aviv, Israel. InspireMD was formed and began operations in 2005.  InspireMD became a subsidiary of InspireMD, Inc., a Delaware corporation, on March 31, 2011, as a result of the Share Exchange.  In addition, we operate through Inspire MD GmbH, our subsidiary in Germany, where we manufacture our stents by way of a sub-contractor agreement.

Our Industry

According to a 2007 World Health Organization report, approximately 7.2 million people worldwide died of coronary heart disease in 2002. Physicians and patients may select from among a variety of treatments to address coronary artery disease, including pharmaceutical therapy, balloon angioplasty, stenting with bare metal or drug-eluting stents, and CABG procedures, with the selection often depending upon the stage of the disease. A stent is an expandable “scaffold-like” device, usually constructed of a stainless steel material, that is inserted into an artery to expand the inside passage and improve blood flow.

The market for coronary stents is one of the fastest growing markets in the medical devices industry. After registering a compounded annual growth rate from 2002 to 2009 of approximately 13%, the revenues from global coronary stents market is predicted to remain relatively constant, although in volume of stents the market is predicted to continue to grow. The growth in volume is due to the appeal for less invasive percutaneous coronary intervention procedures and advances in technology coupled with the increase in the elderly population, obesity rates and advances in technology.

Coronary artery disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The treatment of coronary artery disease includes alternative treatment methodologies, that is, coronary artery bypass grafting or angioplasty (percutaneous coronary intervention) with or without stenting. The percutaneous coronary intervention procedures involving drug-eluting stents are being increasingly used to treat complex coronary artery diseases with an almost 65% penetration rate in 2009.

Our Products

The MGuard TM stent is an embolic protection device based on a protective sleeve, which is constructed out of an ultra-thin polymer mesh and wrapped around the stent.  The protective sleeve is comprised of a micron level fiber-knitted mesh, engineered in an optimal geometric configuration and designed for utmost flexibility while retaining strength characteristics of the fiber material (see illustration below).  The sleeve expands seamlessly when the stent is deployed, without affecting the structural integrity of the stent, and can be securely mounted on any type of stent.

MGuard TM Deployed in Artery

 
The protective sleeve provides several clinical benefits:

 
·
given its wide surface coverage of the stent, the mesh diffuses the pressure and the impact on deployment exerted by the stent on the arterial wall and reduces the injury to the vessel and the rate of restenosis;
 
·
it prevents plaque dislodgement and blocks debris from entering the bloodstream during and post procedure (called embolic showers);
 
·
when drug coated, the mesh delivers better coverage and uniform drug distribution on the arterial wall and therefore should reduce the dosage of the active ingredient when compared to approved drug-eluting stents on the market;
 
·
it promotes smooth and stable endothelial cell growth, which is essential for prompt healing and reduces the risk of cell detachment that causes late thrombosis; and
 
·
it maintains the standards of a conventional stent and therefore should require little to no additional training by doctors.

MGuard TM – Coronary Applications

Our MGuard TM Coronary with a bio-stable mesh and our MGuard TM Coronary with a drug-eluting mesh are aimed at the treatment of coronary arterial disease.  They are described below.

MGuard TM Coronary and MGuard Prime™ with a bio-stable mesh.   Our first MGuard TM product, the MGuard TM Coronary with a bio-stable mesh, is comprised of our mesh sleeve wrapped around a bare-metal stent.  It received CE Mark approval in October 2007 and in January 2008, we started shipping this product to customers and distributors in Europe.  MGuard Prime™ with a bio-stable mesh is comprised of our mesh sleeve wrapped around a cobalt-chromium stent.  In comparison to a conventional bare-metal stent, we believe the MGuard TM Coronary and MGuard Prime™ with a bio-stable mesh reduce the rate of restenosis and provide protection from embolic showers.  In comparison to a standard drug-eluting stent, we believe the MGuard TM Coronary and MGuard Prime™ with a bio-stable mesh are more cost effective, as they eliminate the need for anti-platelet drugs such as Plavix, and reduce the risk of late thrombosis.
 
 
-6-

 
 
MGuard TM Coronary with a drug eluting mesh.   We anticipate that the MGuard TM Coronary with a drug-eluting mesh will offer an enhanced clinical profile compared to existing drug-eluting stents.  We expect that it will provide enhanced bio-absorbability in comparison to current drug-eluting stents, and more even and uniform drug therapy management.  Therefore, once the sleeve is drug infused, the drug would be distributed more uniformly on the vessel wall.  Consequently, the total dosage of the medication potentially can be reduced while increasing its efficacy.  MGuard TM Coronary with a drug-eluting mesh is expected to promote smooth and stable endothelial cell growth and subsequent attachment to the lumen of the vessel wall, which is essential for rapid healing and recovery.  In addition, we believe drug-eluting mesh may enable the use of more effective drug therapies that presently cannot be effectively coated on a metal-based stent due to their poor diffusion capabilities.

MGuard TM – Carotid Applications

We intend to market our mesh sleeve coupled with a self-expandable stent (a stent that expands without dilation pressure or need of an inflation balloon) for use in carotid applications.   According to leading surgeons, embolic protection is critical in all carotid procedures.  We believe that our MGuard TM design will provide substantial advantages over existing therapies in treating carotid artery stenosis (blockage or narrowing of the carotid arteries), like conventional carotid stenting and endarterectomy (surgery to remove blockage) given the superior embolic protection characteristics witnessed in coronary arterial disease applications.  In addition, we believe that MGuard TM Carotid will provide post-procedure protection against embolic dislodgement, which can occur immediately after a carotid stenting procedure and is often a source of post-procedural strokes.  Studies have also shown that approximately half of the incidents of embolic showers associated with carotid stenting occur immediately post-procedure.

MGuard TM – Peripheral Applications

We intend to market our mesh sleeve coupled with a self-expandable stent (a stent that expands without dilation pressure or need of an inflation balloon) for use in peripheral applications.   Peripheral Artery Disease (“PAD”), also known as peripheral vascular disease, is usually characterized by the accumulation of plaque in arteries in the legs and resulting in strokes, heart attacks, need for amputation of affected joints or even death, when untreated.  PAD is treated either by trying to clear the artery of the blockage, or by implanting a stent in the affected area to push the blockage out of the way of normal blood flow.

The PAD market consists of three segments: Aortic Aneurysm, Renal, Iliac and Bilary, and Femoral-Popliteal procedures.  Aortic Aneurysm is a condition in which the aorta, the artery that leads away from the heart, develops a bulge and is likely to burst.  This condition often occurs below the kidneys, in the abdomen.  Renal, Iliac and Bilary procedures refer to stenting in the kidney, iliac arteries (which supply blood to the legs) and liver, respectively.  Femoral-Popliteal procedures involve stenting in vessels in the legs.

As in carotid procedures, peripheral procedures are characterized by the necessity of controlling embolic showers both during and post-procedure. Controlling embolic showers is so important in these indications that physicians often use covered stents, at the risk of blocking branching vessels, to ensure that emboli does not fall into the bloodstream.  We believe that our MGuard TM design will provide substantial advantages over existing therapies in treating peripheral artery stenosis (blockage or narrowing of the peripheral arteries).

Pre-Clinical Studies

We performed laboratory and animal testing as well as supportive human clinical trials prior to submitting an application for CE Mark approval for our MGuard TM Coronary with bio-stable mesh.  We also performed all CE Mark required mechanical testing of the stent.  We conducted pre-clinical trials at Harvard and MIT Biomedical Engineering Center BSET lab in 2005 and 2006.  In these trials, on average, the MGuard TM Coronary with bio-stable mesh resulted in a 7.5% lower restenosis rate than control bare-metal stents and generally had more effective and safer results.  Analysis also indicated that the mesh produced lower levels of inflammation than standard bare metal stents.

Completed Clinical Trials for MGuard TM Coronary Bare-Metal Stent Plus Bio-Stable Mesh

As shown in the table above, we have completed five clinical trials with respect to our MGuard TM Coronary with bio-stable mesh.  Our first study, conducted at two centers in Germany, included 41 patients with either saphenous vein graft coronary interventions or native coronary lesions treatable by a stenting procedure (blockages where no bypass procedure was performed).  The MGuard TM Coronary rate of device success, meaning the stent was successfully deployed in the target lesion, was 100% and the rate of procedural success, meaning there were no major adverse cardiac events prior to hospital discharge, was 95.1%.  At six months, only one patient (2.5% of participants) had myocardial infarction and 19.5% of participants had target vessel revascularization (an invasive procedure required due to a stenosis in the same vessel treated in the study).  This data supports MGuard TM ’s safety in the treatment of vein grafts and native coronary legions.

Our clinical trials in Brazil and Poland were conducted under leading cardiologists.  Our study in Brazil included 30 patients who were candidates for a percutaneous coronary intervention (angioplasty) due to narrowing of a native coronary artery or a bypass graft. In all patients, the stent was successfully deployed with perfect blood flow parameters (the blood flow parameter is a measurement of how fast the blood flows in the arteries and the micro circulation system in the heart). There were no major cardiac events at the time of the follow-up 30 days after the deployment of the stents.

The study in Poland included 60 patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (the most severe form of a heart attack, referred to as “STEMI”).  The purpose of the study was to confirm the clinical performance of MGuard TM Coronary with bio-stable mesh when used in STEMI patients where percutaneous coronary intervention is the primary line of therapy.  Perfect blood flow in the artery was achieved in 90% of patients, perfect blood flow into the heart muscle was achieved in 73% of patients and complete restoration of electrocardiogram normality was achieved in 61% of patients. The total major adverse cardiac events rate during the six-month period following the deployment of the stents was 1.7%.

Ongoing Clinical Trials for MGuard TM Coronary Bare-Metal Stent Plus Bio-Stable Mesh

Our ongoing observation study in Europe is an open registry launched in the first fiscal quarter of 2009.  This registry is expected to enroll up to 1,000 patients and is aimed at establishing the performance of MGuard TM Coronary with bio-stable mesh in a “real world” population. To date, the primary countries to join are Austria, Czech Republic and Hungary. The primary endpoint that this registry will evaluate is the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events at six months following deployment of the stent, and the clinical follow-up will continue for a period of up to one year per patient. As of February 28, 2011, 632 patients of the prospective 1,000 have been enrolled in 18 sites.

Our ongoing observational study in Israel is an open registry launched in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009.  This registry is expected to enroll up to 100 patients.  The purpose of this study is to support local Israeli regulatory approval. The primary endpoint that this registry will evaluate is the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events at 30 days following deployment of the stent, and the clinical follow-up will be conducted at six months following deployment of the stent. As of February 28, 2011, 62 patients of the prospective 100 have been enrolled.

In the third fiscal quarter of 2010, we launched a Brazilian registry to run in 25 Brazilian sites and enroll 500 patients. The primary endpoint that this registry will evaluate is the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events at six months following the deployment of the stent, and the clinical follow-up will continue for a period of up to one year per patient.  As of February 28, 2011, 3 patients of the prospective 500 have been enrolled.

Comparison of Clinical Trial Results to Date with Results Achieved Using Bare Metal Stents Alone

We conducted a meta-analysis of data from the completed trials in Germany, Brazil and Poland and the worldwide registry with respect to saphenous vein graft and STEMI patients in comparison to data contained in published reports on regular bare-metal stent performance in comparable patients. Our meta-analysis included data from the following trials:

In the STEMI group, perfect blood flow in the artery was reached in 95% of MGuard TM patients, compared to 90% in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with normal bare-metal stents. More patients experienced restoration of normal electrocardiogram reading (78% versus 50%) and blood flow to the heart muscle (83% versus 39%) with MGuard TM than bare-metal stents. In addition, the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events at six months post-deployment was 3.2% compared with 8.5% in patients treated with bare-metal stents.

In the saphenous vein graft group, with MGuard TM , the average incidence of major adverse cardiac events at the 12-month follow-up was 10.0%, compared to 23.5% with bare-metal stents .

Future Clinical Trials for MGuard TM Coronary

We anticipate that additional studies will be conducted to meet registration requirements in key countries, particularly the United States and China.  Certain countries in Europe also require additional local studies, depending on whether regulatory authorities classify the MGuard TM Coronary with bio-stable mesh as a new device rather than a bare metal stent.  Following these studies, we expect that post-marketing trials will be conducted to further establish the safety and efficacy of the MGuard TM Coronary with bio-stable mesh in specific indications.  These trials will be designed to facilitate market acceptance and expand the use of the product.

In the first fiscal quarter of 2011, we plan to launch a prospective, randomized study in Europe, Mexico and South America to demonstrate the superiority of the MGuard™ stent over commercially-approved bare-metal and drug-eluting stents in achieving better myocardial reperfusion (the restoration of blood flow) in primary angioplasty for the treatment of acute STEMI. We anticipate that this trial will enroll up to 406 subjects, 50% of whom will be treated with an MGuard™ stent and 50% of whom will be treated with a commercially-approved bare-metal or drug-eluting stent.  The primary endpoint of this study is the occurrence of the restoration of normal electrocardiogram reading.

We also plan to conduct a large clinical study for FDA approval in the United States. We expect that this study will be a prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trial. Its primary objective will be to compare the effectiveness of the MGuard™ stent in the treatment of de novo stenotic lesions in coronary arteries in patients undergoing primary revascularization (a surgical procedure for the provision of a new, additional, or augmented blood supply to the heart) due to acute myocardial infarction with the MultiLink Vision stent system from Abbott Vascular and performance goals derived from published data. We expect total enrollment of up to 574 subjects, at up to 40 sites throughout the United States. The primary endpoint of this study will be the occurrence of Blush Score of 3, which would indicate that blood supply to the heart muscle is optimal, following the procedure, and the secondary endpoint will be the occurrence of target vessel failure (a composite endpoint of cardiac death, reoccurrence of a heart attack and the need for a future invasive procedure to correct narrowing of the   coronary artery).  This study is expected to start in 2012, and the enrollment phase is expected to last 18 months. We expect that subjects will be followed for 12 months with assessments at 30 days, six months, nine months and 12 months. This plan is tentative, and is subject to change to conform with FDA regulations and requirements.  

Planned Trials for future MGuard TM Peripheral and Carotid Products

As shown in the table at the beginning of this section, we also plan to conduct clinical trials for our additional products in development in order to obtain approval for their use.  We anticipate that local distributors in the countries in which such trials will take place will support many of these studies.

Growth Strategy

Our primary business objective is to utilize our proprietary technology to become the industry standard for treatment of acute coronary syndromes and to provide a superior solution to the common acute problems caused by current stenting procedures, such as restenosis, embolic showers and late thrombosis.  We are pursuing the following business strategies in order to achieve this objective.

 
·
Successfully commercialize MGuard TM Coronary with bio-stable mesh.   We have begun commercialization of MGuard TM Coronary with a bio-stable mesh in Europe, Asia and Latin America through our distributor network and we are aggressively pursuing additional registrations and contracts in   other counties such as Russia, Canada, South Korea, China, Belgium, the Netherlands and certain smaller countries in Latin America.  By the time we begin marketing this product in the United States, we expect to have introduced the MGuard TM technology to clinics and interventional cardiologists around the world, and to have fostered brand name recognition and widespread adoption of MGuard TM Coronary.  We plan to accomplish this by participating in national and international conferences, conducting and sponsoring clinical trials, publishing articles in scientific journals, holding local training sessions and conducting electronic media campaigns.

 
·
Successfully develop the next generation of MGuard TM stents.   While we market our MGuard TM Coronary with bio-stable mesh, we intend to develop the MGuard TM Coronary with a drug-eluting mesh.  We are also working on our MGuard TM stents for peripheral and carotid.  In addition, we released our cobalt-chromium version of MGuard TM , MGuard Prime™, in 2010, which we anticipate will replace MGuard TM over the next couple of years.

 
·
Continue to leverage MGuard TM technology to develop additional applications for interventional cardiologists and vascular surgeons.   In addition to the applications described above, we believe that we will eventually be able to utilize our proprietary technology to address imminent market needs for new product innovations to significantly improve patients’ care.  We have secured intellectual property using our unique mesh technology in the areas of brain aneurism, treating bifurcated blood vessels and a new concept of distal protective devices.  We believe these areas have a large growth potential given, in our view, that present solutions are far from satisfactory, and there is a significant demand for better patient care.  We believe that our patents can be put into practice and that they will drive our growth at a later stage.

 
·
Work with world-renowned physicians to build awareness and brand recognition of MGuard TM portfolio of products.   We intend to work closely with leading cardiologists to evaluate and ensure the efficacy and safety of our products.  We intend that some of these prominent physicians will serve on our Scientific Advisory Board, which is our advisory committee that advises our board of directors, and run clinical trials with the MGuard TM Coronary stent.  We believe these individuals, once convinced of the MGuard TM Coronary stent’s superiority, will be invaluable assets in facilitating the widespread adoption of the stent.  In addition, we plan to look to these cardiologists to generate and publish scientific data supporting our products, and to promote them at various conferences they attend.

 
·
Continue to protect and expand our portfolio of patents.   Our patents and their protection are critical to our success.  We have filed ten separate patents for our MGuard TM technology in Canada, China, Europe, Israel, India, South Africa, and the United States, for an aggregate of 35 filed patents.  We believe these patents cover all of our existing products, and can be useful for future technology.   We intend to continue patenting new technology as it is developed, and to actively pursue any infringement upon our patents.

·
Develop strategic partnerships.   We intend to partner with medical device, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to assist in the development and commercialization of our proprietary technology.  We plan to partner with a company in the United States to guide products through FDA approval and to support the sale of MGuard TM stents in the United States.

Competition

 
The stent industry is highly competitive.  The bare-metal stent and the drug-eluting stent markets in the United States and Europe are dominated by Abbott Laboratories, Boston Scientific Corporation, Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic, Inc. Due to ongoing consolidation in the industry, there are high barriers to entry for small manufacturers in both the European and the United States markets.  However, due to less stringent regulatory approval requirements in Europe, we believe that the European market is somewhat more fragmented, and small competitors appear able to gain market share with greater ease.

 
In the future, we believe that physicians will look to next-generation stent technology to compete with currently existing therapies.  These new technologies will likely include bio-abosorbable stents, stents that are customizable for different legion lengths, stents that focus on treating bifurcated legions, and stents with superior polymer and drug coatings.  Some of the companies developing new stents are The Sorin Group, Xtent, Inc., Cinvention AG, OrbusNeich, Biotronik SE & Co. KG, Svelte Medical Systems, Inc. and Stentys SA, among others.  To address current issues with drug-eluting stents, The Sorin Group and Cinvention AG have developed stents that do not require a polymer coating for drug delivery, thereby expanding the types of drugs that can be used on their respective stents.  OrbusNeich has addressed the problem differently, developing a stent coated with an antibody designed to eliminate the need for any drug at all.  Xtent, Inc. has been concentrating on a stent that can be customized to fit different sized legions, so as to eliminate the need for multiple stents in a single procedure.  Biotronik SE & Co. KG is currently developing bio-absorbable stent technologies, and Abbott Laboratories is currently developing a bio-absorbable drug-eluting stent.  These are just a few of the many companies working to improve stenting procedures in the future as the portfolio of available stent technologies rapidly increases.  As the market moves towards next-generation stenting technologies, minimally invasive procedures should become more effective, driving the growth of the market in the future.  We plan to continue our research and development efforts in order to be at the forefront of the acute myocardial infarction solutions.

The worldwide stent market is dominated by four major players, with a combined total market share of approximately 96%. Within the bare metal stent market and drug-eluting stent market, the top four companies have approximately 91% and 98% of the market share, respectively. The four major players are Abbott Laboratories, Boston Scientific Corporation, Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic, Inc.  To date our sales are not significant enough to register in market share.

Research and Development Expenses

During the 2010 fiscal year and the 2009 fiscal year, we spent approximately $1.3 million and $1.3 million in research and development, respectively.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and Marketing

In October 2007, MGuard TM Coronary with a bio-stable mesh received CE Mark approval in the EU, and shortly thereafter was commercially launched in Europe through local distributors.  We are also in negotiations with additional distributors in Europe, Asia and Latin America and are currently selling our MGuard TM Coronary with a bio-stable mesh in more than 30 countries.

Until FDA approval of our MGuard TM Coronary with a bio-stable mesh, which we are targeting for 2014, we plan to focus our marketing efforts primarily on Europe, Asia and Latin America.  Within Europe, we have focused on markets with established healthcare reimbursement from local governments such as Italy, Germany, Great Britain, France, Greece, Austria, Benelux, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Czech Republic and Slovekia.

In addition to utilizing local and regional distributor networks, we are using international trade shows and industry conferences to gain market exposure and brand recognition.  We plan to capitalize on our association with world-renowned physicians to enhance our marketing efforts.  As sales volume increases, we plan to open regional offices and manage sales activities more closely in each of our defined geographical regions, and to provide marketing support to local and regional distributors in each area.

Product Positioning

The MGuard TM Coronary has initially penetrated the market by entering market segments with indications that present high risks of embolic dislodgement, notably acute myocardial infarction and saphenous vein graft coronary interventions, which comprise approximately 50% of an $8 billion global   coronary products market.  We believe, however, that the benefits of utilizing the MGuard TM product for many other stenting procedures will lead to rapid market acceptance and adoption.

When performing stenting procedures in patients with acute coronary symptoms, interventional cardiologists face a difficult dilemma in choosing between bare-metal stents, which have a high rate of restenosis, and drug-eluting stents, which have a high rate of late thrombosis, require administration of anti-platelet drugs for at least one year post procedure, are more costly than bare-metal stents and have additional side effects.  We are marketing our platform technology, MGuard TM , as a superior and cost effective solution to these currently unmet needs of interventional cardiologists.  We believe our MGuard TM technology is clinically superior to bare-metal stents because it reduces vessel injury and thereby reduces restenosis, providing embolic protection during and post-procedure.  We believe our MGuard TM technology is clinically superior to drug-eluting stents, due to its lower thrombosis rate, protection from embolic showers during and post-procedure, and potential elimination of the need for anti-platelet drugs.  Additionally, the MGuard TM Coronary is more cost effective than typical drug-eluting stents, even before taking into account the added cost of mandated drug therapies.

In addition to the significant benefits of the MGuard TM technology, it maintains the deliverability, crossing profile, and dilatation pressure of a conventional stent, and interventional cardiologists do not have to undergo extensive training before utilizing the product.

Insurance Reimbursement

In most countries, a significant portion of a patient’s medical expenses is covered by third-party payors.  Third-party payors can include both government funded insurance programs and private insurance programs.  While each payor develops and maintains its own coverage and reimbursement policies, the vast majority of payors have similarly established policies.  All of the MGuard TM products sold to date have been designed and labeled in such a way as to facilitate the utilization of existing reimbursement codes, and we intend to continue to design and label our products in a manner consistent with this goal.
 
 
-15-

 
While most countries have established reimbursement codes for stenting procedures, certain countries may require additional clinical data before recognizing coverage and reimbursement for the MGuard TM products.  In these situations, we intend to complete the required clinical studies to obtain reimbursement approval in countries where it makes economic sense to do so.

 
In the United States, once the MGuard TM Coronary with bio-stable mesh is approved by the FDA, it will be eligible for reimbursement from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which serve as a benchmark for all reimbursement codes.  While there is no guarantee these codes will not change over time, we believe that the MGuard TM will be eligible for reimbursement through both governmental healthcare agencies and most private insurance agencies in the United States.

Intellectual Property

Patents

We have filed ten separate patents for our MGuard TM technology, in Canada, China, Europe, Israel, India, South Africa, and the United States, for an aggregate of 35 filed patents.  These patents cover percutaneous therapy, knitted stent jackets, stent and filter assemblies, in vivo filter assembly, optimized stent jackets, stent apparatuses for treatment via body lumens and methods of use, stent apparatuses for treatment via body lumens and methods of manufacture and use, and stent apparatuses for treatment of body lumens, among others. In lay terms, these patents generally cover two parts of our products: the mesh sleeve, with and without a drug, and the delivery mechanism of the stent.  None of these patents have been granted as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.  We believe these patents, once issued, will cover all of our   existing products and be useful for future technology.  We also believe that the patents we have filed, in particular those covering the use of a knitted micron-level mesh sleeve over a stent for various indications, would create a significant barrier for another company seeking to use similar technology.

To date, we are not aware of other companies that have patent rights to a micron fiber, releasable knitted fiber sleeve over a stent.  However, larger, better funded competitors own patents relating to the use of drugs to treat restenosis, stent architecture, catheters to deliver stents, and stent manufacturing and coating processes as well as general delivery mechanism patents like rapid exchange. Stent manufacturers have historically engaged in significant litigation, and we could be subject to claims of infringement of intellectual property from one or more competitors. Although we believe that any such claims would be un-founded, such litigation would divert attention and resources away from the development of MGuard TM stents.  Other manufacturers may also challenge the intellectual property that we own, or may own in the future. We may be forced into litigation to uphold the validity of the claims in our patent portfolio, an uncertain and costly process.

Trademarks

We use the InspireMD and MGuard trademarks. We have registered these trademarks in Europe. The trademarks are renewable indefinitely, so long as we continue to use the mark in Europe and make the appropriate filings when required.

Government Regulation

The manufacture and sale of our products are subject to regulation by numerous governmental authorities, principally the European Union CE Mark, the FDA and other corresponding foreign agencies.

Sales of medical devices outside the United States are subject to foreign regulatory requirements that vary widely from country to country. These laws and regulations range from simple product registration requirements in some countries to complex clearance and production controls in others. As a result, the processes and time periods required to obtain foreign marketing approval may be longer or shorter than those necessary to obtain FDA market authorization. These differences may affect the efficiency and timeliness of international market introduction of our products. For countries in the European Union (“EU”), medical devices must display a CE mark before they may be imported or sold.  In order to obtain and maintain the CE mark, we must comply with the Medical Device Directive and pass an initial and annual facilities audit inspections to ISO 13485 standards by an EU inspection agency. We have obtained ISO 13485 quality system certification and the products we currently distribute into the EU display the required CE mark. In order to maintain certification, we are required to pass annual facilities audit inspections conducted by EU inspectors.

In the United States, the medical devices that will be manufactured and sold by us will be subject to laws and regulations administered by the FDA, including regulations concerning the prerequisites to commercial marketing, the conduct of clinical investigations, compliance with the Quality System Regulation, or QSR, and labeling.

A manufacturer may seek market authorization for a new medical device through the rigorous Premarket Approval, or PMA, application process, which requires the FDA to determine that the device is safe and effective for the purposes intended.
 
We will also be required to register with the FDA as a medical device manufacturer. As such, our manufacturing facilities will be subject to FDA inspections for compliance with QSR. These regulations will require that we manufacture our products and maintain our documents in a prescribed manner with respect to design, manufacturing, testing and quality control activities. As a medical device manufacturer, we will further be required to comply with FDA requirements regarding the reporting of adverse events associated with the use of our medical devices, as well as product malfunctions that would likely cause or contribute to death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur. FDA regulations also govern product labeling and prohibit a manufacturer from marketing a medical device for unapproved applications. If the FDA believes that a manufacturer is not in compliance with the law, it can institute enforcement proceedings to detain or seize products, issue a recall, enjoin future violations and assess civil and criminal penalties against the manufacturer, its officers and employees. 
 
In addition, international sales of medical devices manufactured in the United States that have not been approved or cleared by the FDA for marketing in the United States are subject to FDA export requirements. These require that we obtain documentation from the medical device regulatory authority of the destination country stating that sale of the medical device is not in violation of that country’s medical device laws, and, under some circumstances, may require us to apply to the FDA for permission to export a device to that country.

Customers

Our customer base is varied.  We began selling our product to customers in Europe in January 2009 and have since expanded our global distribution network to Canada, Southeast Asia, India and Latin America. Sixty six percent (66%) of our 2010 revenues were generated in Europe.  Our major customer in 2010 was Hand-Prod Sp. Z o.o, a Polish distributor, that accounted for 29% of our revenues. In addition, other current significant customers are in Germany, Italy, Spain, Brazil and India.

Manufacturing and Suppliers

We manufacture our stainless steel MGuard TM stent through a combination of outsourcing and assembly at our own facility. Third parties in Germany manufacture the base stent and catheter materials, and we add our proprietary mesh sleeve to the stent. Our current exclusive product supplier is QualiMed GmbH (“QualiMed”).  QualiMed is a specialized German stent manufacturer that electro polishes and crimps the stent onto a balloon catheter that creates the base for our MGuard TM stents.  QualiMed has agreed to take responsibility for verifying and validating the entire stent system by performing the necessary bench test and biocompatibility testing.  During the production process, QualiMed is responsible for integrating the mesh covered stent with the delivery system, sterilization, packaging and labeling. Our proprietary mesh sleeve is supplied by Biogeneral, Inc., a San Diego, California-based specialty polymer manufacturer for medical and engineering applications.

Our MGuard Prime™  cobalt-chromium stent was designed by Svelte Medical Systems Inc., and is being manufactured and supplied by MeKo Laserstrahl-Materialbearbeitung.  The complete assembly process for MGuard Prime™, including knitting and securing the sleeve to the stent and the crimping of the sleeve stent on to a balloon catheter, is done at our Israel manufacturing site.  Once MGuard Prime™ has been assembled, it is sent for sterilization in Germany and then back to Israel for final packaging.

Distributors

We currently have exclusive distribution agreements for our CE Mark approved MGuard TM Coronary with bio-stable mesh with medical product distributors based in Italy, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic and Slovekia, France, Slovenia, Greece, Cyprus, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, Estonia, Lithuania, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Latvia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, India, Sri Lanka, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Thailand, Taiwan and Israel.  We are currently in discussions with multiple distribution companies in Europe, Asia, and Latin America and expect to have distribution representatives in at least 30 countries by the end of 2011.  We are also pursuing regional distribution agreements, which we expect will increase our market coverage and penetration.

Current and future agreements with distributors stipulate that while we are responsible for training, providing marketing guidance, marketing materials, and technical guidance, distributors will be responsible for carrying out local registration, marketing activities and sales.  In addition, in most cases, all sales costs, including sales representatives, incentive programs, and marketing trials, will be borne by the distributor.  Under current agreements, distributors purchase stents from us at a fixed price. Our current agreements with distributors are for a term of approximately three years and will automatically renew for an additional three years unless modified by either party.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, we had 45 full-time employees.  Our employees are not party to any collective bargaining agreements.  We consider our relations with our employees to be good. We believe that our future success will depend, in part, on our continued ability to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel.

Properties

Our headquarters are located in Tel Aviv, Israel where we currently have an 825 square meter facility that employs 25 of our manufacturing personnel and currently has a capacity to manufacture and assemble 3,000 stents per month.  We believe that our current facility is sufficient to meet anticipated future demand by adding additional shifts to our current production schedule.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation that arises through the normal course of business.  As of the date of this filing, we are not a party to any material litigation nor are we aware of any such threatened or pending litigation, except for the matters described below.

 
On November 2, 2010, Eric Ben Mayor, a former senior employee of InspireMD, filed suit in Regional Labor Court in Tel Aviv, claiming illegal termination of employment and various amounts in connection with his termination, including allegations that he is owed salary, payments to pension fund, vacation pay, sick days, severance pay, commission for revenues and other types of funds.  In total, Mr. Mayor is seeking 1,476,027 Israeli new shekel (“NIS”), additional compensation for holding back wages, and options to purchase 250,000 of InspireMD’s ordinary shares at an exercise price of 0.01 NIS per share.  We intend to assert a vigorous defense to the litigation.

On November 3, 2010, Eftan Consulting and Investments Ltd. (“Eftan”), a company wholly owned by a former legal counsel of InspireMD, filed suit in the District Court in Tel Aviv, claiming that according to an agreement between Eftan and InspireMD dated April 1, 2005, pursuant to which Eftan was retained to provide legal services to InspireMD,   Eftan is entitled options to purchase to 61,120 ordinary shares of InspireMD at an exercise price of 0.01 NIS per share.  We intend to assert a vigorous defense to the litigation.

 
There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates or any registered or beneficial shareholders is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Report, including “Risk Factors,” “Description of Business” and the Financial Statements attached hereto pursuant to Item 9.01 and the related exhibits.  The various sections of this discussion contain a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risk factors described throughout this Report.  See “Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results may differ materially.
 
Recent Events
 
On December 29, 2010, InspireMD entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with the Company and on March 31, 2011 the Share Exchange was consummated (see “Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets—Share Exchange” for a description of the Share Exchange).  In connection with this Share Exchange, we succeeded to the business of InspireMD as our sole line of business.  The Share Exchange is being accounted for as a recapitalization, with InspireMD deemed to be the accounting acquirer and the Company the acquired company. Accordingly, InspireMD’s historical financial statements for periods prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange have become those of the registrant.  Operations reported for periods prior to the Share Exchange are those of InspireMD.

 
Overview
 
We are an innovative medical device company focusing on the development and commercialization of our proprietary stent platform technology, MGuard™, used in interventional cardiology and other vascular procedures.

In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange, we elected to report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and as such, to report our financial results in United States dollars.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
As applicable to these consolidated financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to revenue recognition including provision for returns, legal contingencies and estimation of the fair value of share-based compensation and the convertible loan.

Functional currency

The currency of the primary economic environment in which our operations are conducted is the United States dollar (“$” or “dollar”).  Accordingly, the functional currency of us and of our subsidiaries is the dollar.
 
 
-20-

 
 
The dollar figures are determined as follows: transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented in their original amounts.  Balances in foreign currencies are translated into dollars using historical and current exchange rates for non-monetary and monetary balances, respectively. The resulting translation gains or losses are recorded as financial income or expense, as appropriate. For transactions reflected in the statements of operations in foreign currencies, the exchange rates at transaction dates are used. Depreciation and changes in inventories and other changes deriving from non-monetary items are based on historical exchange rates.

Fair value measurement
 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In determining fair value, we use various valuation approaches, including market, income and/or cost approaches. Hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs.

 
Concentration of credit risk and allowance for doubtful accounts
 
Financial instruments that may potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash which are deposited in major financial institutions in Germany and Israel, and trade accounts receivable. Our trade accounts receivable are derived from revenues earned from customers from various counties. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and, generally, require no collateral from our customers. We also have a credit insurance policy for some of our customers.  We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon the expected ability to collect the accounts receivable. We review our allowance for doubtful accounts quarterly by assessing individual accounts receivable and all other balances based on historical collection experience and an economic risk assessment. If we determine that a specific customer is unable to meet its financial obligations to us, we provide an allowance for credit losses to reduce the receivable to the amount our management reasonably believes will be collected. To mitigate risks, we deposit cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions.  Provisions for doubtful debts are netted against “Accounts receivable-trade.”

Inventory

Inventories include finished goods, work in process and raw materials. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (cost is determined on a “first-in, first-out” basis) or market value.  In respect to inventory on consignment, see “Revenue recognition” below.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when delivery has occurred, evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risks and rewards for the products are transferred to the customer, collection is reasonably assured and when product returns can be reliably estimated. When product returns can be reliably estimated a provision is recorded, based on historical experience, and deducted from sales. The provision for sales returns and related costs are included in “Accounts payable and accruals - Other” under “current liabilities”, and “Inventory on consignment”, respectively.
 
 
-21-

 
 
When returns cannot be reliably estimated, both revenues and related direct costs are eliminated, as the products are deemed unsold. Accordingly, both related revenues and costs are deferred, and presented under “Deferred revenues” and “Inventory on consignment”, respectively.

 
We recognize revenue net of value added tax (VAT).

Research and development costs

Research and development costs are charged to the statement of operations as incurred.

Share-based compensation

Employee option awards are classified as equity awards and accounted for using the grant-date fair value method. The fair value of share-based awards is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is expensed over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. We estimate forfeitures based on historical experience and anticipated future conditions.

We elected to recognize compensation expensed for awards with only service conditions that have graded vesting schedules using the accelerated multiple option approach.

We account for equity instruments issued to third party service providers (non-employees) by recording the fair value of the options granted using an option pricing model, at each reporting period, until rewards are vested in full. The expense is recognized over the vesting period using the accelerated multiple option approach. The expense relates to options granted to third party service providers with respect to successful investor introductions that are recorded at their fair value in equity, as issuance costs.

Uncertain tax and vat positions

We follow a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax and VAT positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax and VAT position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit. The second step is to measure the tax and VAT benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% and 75%, respectively, likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Such liabilities are classified as long-term, unless the liability is expected to be resolved within twelve months from the balance sheet date. Our policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within financial expenses.

Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2009

Revenues .  For the year ended December 31, 2010, total revenue increased 45.1% to $4.9 million from $3.4 million in 2009.  The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to launching MGuard™ Coronary with bio-stable mesh in new markets around the world, particularly in Europe and Latin America and the implementation of net revenue recognition policies.
 
 
-22-

 
 
Gross Margin .  Our gross margin percentage for 2010 increased to 45.5% of revenues, compared to 32.8% during 2009.  The increase in our gross margin resulted primarily from higher pricing, more efficient manufacturing and economies of scale due to the increase in sales volume.
 
Research and Development Expense .  For the year ended December 31, 2010, research and development expense increased 0.6% to $1.338 million from $1.330 million in 2009. Research and development expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 27.0% in 2010 from 39.0% in 2009.
 
Selling and Marketing Expense .  For the year ended December 31, 2010, selling and marketing expense increased 18.8% to $1.2 million from $1.0 million in 2009.  The increase in cost resulted primarily from additional promotional activities worldwide. Selling and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 25.0% in 2010 from 30.5% in 2009.
 
General and Administrative Expense .  For the year ended December 31, 2010, general and administrative expense increased 97.5% to approximately $2.9 million from $1.5 million in 2009. The increase in cost resulted primarily from a large increase in the amount of our share options being issued and the corresponding accounting charges and overall accounting and legal expenses. General and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 58.6% in 2010 from 43.0% in 2009.

Financial Expenses (Income) .  For the year ended December 31, 2010, financial expense increased to approximately $0.2 million from $(0.04) million in 2009. The increase in expense resulted primarily from a one time financial income recording of $0.3 million in 2009 pertaining to the cancellation of the conversion feature of a convertible loan that was repaid in the same year. Financial expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 3.1% in 2010, compared to financial income as a percent of revenue of -1.2% in 2009.

Tax Expenses .  Tax expense remained flat at $47,000 in 2010 and 2009. Our expenses for income taxes reflect primarily the tax liability due to potential tax exposure.
 
Net Loss .  Our net loss increased 25.6% to $3.4 million in 2010 from $2.7 million in 2009.

Backlog .  Our order backlog at December 31, 2010 was approximately $1.5 million, up 165% compared to approximately $0.6 million at December 31, 2009.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

General .  At December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $636,000, as compared to $376,000 in 2009. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of issuance of new shares, borrowing activities and sales. Our cash requirements are generally for product development, clinical trials, marketing and sales activities, finance and administrative cost, capital expenditures and overall working capital.
 
Cash used in our operating activities was approximately $2.7 million in 2010, and $1.5 million in 2009.  The principal reasons for the decrease in cash flow from operations in 2010 included a $3.4 million net loss, a decrease of $1.6 million in deferred revenues offset by $1.6 million of non cash share based compensation expense and $0.4 million increase in other working capital.
  
Cash used in investing activities was approximately $46,000 in 2010, and $0.3 million in 2009.  The principal reasons for the decrease in cash flow from investing activities included $81,000 for plant and equipment purchases offset by a $52,000 decrease in restricted cash.
 
 
-23-

 
 
Cash flow generated from financing activities was approximately $3.0 million in 2010, and $0.7 million in 2009.  The principal reasons for the increase in cash flow from financing activities during 2010 were the issuance of approximately $1.8 million in new shares and the issuance of a convertible loan of approximately $1.5 million, offset by the repayment of a long term loan in the amount of $0.3 million.
 
As of December 31, 2010, current assets was approximately equal with our current liabilities. Current assets decreased $0.2 million during 2010 while current liabilities decreased by $1.5 million during the same period. As a result, our working capital deficiency decreased by $1.2 million to approximately $53,000 during 2010.

Credit Facilities .  As of December 31, 2010, we had a long term loan in the amount of approximately $0.4 million bearing interest at the three month US$ libor rate plus 4% per annum. The loan is payable in eight quarterly installments during a period of three years beginning April 2010 and ending on January 2012.  According to the loan agreement, in case of an “Exit Transaction,” we will be required to pay to the bank an additional $0.25 million if the sum received in a “Liquidity event” or the value of the company at an “IPO” is higher than $100 million.

Convertible Loan .  As of December 31, 2010, we had a convertible loan with an aggregate principal amount outstanding of approximately $1,580,000.  The convertible loan bears 8% interest and is repayable or convertible upon the maturity date or, if the Share Exchange is consummated prior to the maturity date, then the convertible loan is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of our common stock following the Share Exchange at a price of $1.50 per share.  The convertible loan is also convertible into shares of InspireMD if the Share Exchange does not occur and upon certain other circumstances.  This summary description of the convertible loan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Convertible Debenture attached hereto as Exhibit 10.8 and the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into in connection therewith and attached hereto as Exhibit 10.10.
 
Loans from Shareholder . In August 2007, two shareholders loaned us $40,000, with no interest rate and with no specific terms of repayment. These loans were repaid partially during March 2009 and the remaining amount during February 2011.

Sales of Stock . During the fourth quarter of 2010 and January 2011, we issued an aggregate of 145,000 ordinary shares for consideration of approximately $1.4 million.

Factors That May Affect Future Operations

We believe that our future operating results will continue to be subject to quarterly variations based upon a wide variety of factors, including the cyclical nature of the ordering patterns of our distributors, timing of regulatory approvals, the implementation of various phases of our clinical trials and manufacturing efficiencies due to the learning curve of utilizing new materials and equipment. Our operating results could also be impacted by a weakening of the Euro and strengthening of the New Israeli Shekel, both against the United States dollar. Lastly, other economic conditions we cannot foresee may affect customer demand, such as individual country reimbursement policies pertaining to our products.

Off Balance Sheet Transactions and Related Matters

We have no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that have, or may have, a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Recent Accounting Pronuncements
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition. These amendments, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 (early adoption is permitted), modify the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and require companies to develop a best estimate of the selling price to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. Additionally, the amendments eliminate the residual method for allocating arrangement considerations. We do not expect the standard to have material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB updated the “Fair Value Measurements Disclosures.” Specifically, this update will require (a) an entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers; and (b) information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements to be presented separately (i.e. present the activity on a gross basis rather than net) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). This update clarifies existing disclosure requirements for the level of disaggregation used for classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and require disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. This will become effective as of the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll forward information, which is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim reporting periods within those years. We do not expect that the adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 
Risk Factors

 
Our business and an investment in our securities are subject to a variety of risks.  The following risk factors describe the most significant events, facts or circumstances that we believe could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, results of operations, ability to implement our business plan, and the market price for our securities.  Many of these events are outside of our control.  The risks described below are not the only ones facing our Company.  Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations.  If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation may be materially adversely affected.  In such case investors in our securities could lose all or part of their investment.

 
Risks Related to Our Business

Our failure to successfully market, sell, manufacture or distribute our stent products would have a material adverse effect on our business and the value of our business.

           We have limited experience marketing, selling, manufacturing or distributing the products we intend to sell, if and when we receive the regulatory approvals required to do so.  Furthermore, we will need to substantially increase our manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution capabilities in order to do so successfully.  If unsuccessful in any of these activities, our business and the value of our securities could be materially and adversely affected.

We expect to derive our revenue from sales of our MGuard TM stent products.  If we fail to generate revenue from this source, our results of operations and the value of our business would be materially and adversely affected.
 
 
-25-

 
 
           We expect our revenue to be generated from sales of our MGuard™ stent products and other products we may develop.  Future sales of these products, if any, will be subject to commercial and market uncertainties that are outside our control.  If we fail to generate such revenues, our results of operations and the value of our business and securities could be materially and adversely affected.

Market acceptance of our products, and the products of any future licensees, is uncertain.

           Even if our products are developed successfully and achieve all necessary regulatory approvals, they may not enjoy commercial acceptance or success, which would adversely affect our potential market share, and our business, financial condition and results of operations.  Several factors could limit the successful commercialization of our products, including:

 
·
limited market acceptance or familiarity among patients, physicians, medical centers and third-party purchasers;
 
·
inadequate reimbursement for our products by third party payors;
 
·
our inability to develop a sales force or distributors capable of effectively marketing our products;
 
·
our inability to manufacture and supply a sufficient amount of products to meet market demands; and
 
·
the number, relative effectiveness, and cost of competing products that may enter the market.

           The foregoing factors could also limit the successful commercialization by any future licensee of products incorporating our technology, which would ultimately affect our results of operations.

We have a history of net losses and may experience future losses
 

To date, we have experienced net losses. A substantial portion of the expenses associated with our manufacturing facilities are fixed in nature (i.e., depreciation) and will reduce our operating margin until such time, if ever, as we are able to increase utilization of our capacity through increased sales of our products. The clinical trials necessary to support our anticipated growth will be expensive and lengthy.  In addition, our strategic plan will require a significant investment in clinical trials, product development and sales and marketing programs, which may not result in the accelerated revenue growth that we anticipate. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will ever generate substantial revenues or sustain profitability.

We have no experience scaling our manufacturing capability, and if we are unable to increase our production to meet demand, our business and results of operations would suffer.

           To be successful, we must manufacture products of sufficient quality in sufficient quantities to meet demand, in compliance with regulatory requirements, and at an acceptable cost.  We have no experience in large-scale manufacturing, and may not be able to develop commercially viable manufacturing capabilities or increase our capacity to meet increased demand for our interventional cardiology products.  We will need to expand our production facilities for our products if we receive sizeable orders.  An important element in the manufacture of our products will be our ability to scale our unit volume to meet sales projections, while maintaining high product quality.  To date, the application of the mesh sleeve to the stent has been a manual process. We are dependent upon SewFine LLC for the development of a process to automate the production of our MGuard™ stent products.  We and any potential licensee may also encounter manufacturing problems in relation to the following:

 
·
production yields;
 
·
quality control and assurance;
 
 
-26-

 
 
 
·
availability of third-party components or products;
 
·
shortages of qualified personnel;
 
·
compliance with local and international regulations;
 
·
production and distribution costs; and
 
·
development of advanced manufacturing techniques and process controls.

           To the extent we use third-party manufacturers or enter into manufacturing joint ventures with third parties, we cannot be certain that we will be able to contract with such companies on acceptable terms, if at all, or that such third parties will satisfy our quality standards or meet supply requirements on a timely basis, if at all.

Clinical trials necessary to support a pre-market approval application will be expensive and will require the enrollment of a large number of patients, and suitable patients may be difficult to identify and recruit.

           Clinical trials necessary to support a pre-market approval (“PMA”) application for our MGuard™ stent will be expensive and will require the enrollment of a large number of patients, and suitable patients may be difficult to identify and recruit, which may cause a delay in the development and commercialization of our product candidates.  Clinical trials supporting the PMA applications for the Cypher stent and the Taxus Express2 stent, which are approved by the FDA and currently marketed, involved patient populations of approximately 1,000 and 1,300, respectively, and a 12-month follow up period. The FDA may require us to submit data on a greater number of patients or for a longer follow-up period.  Patient enrollment in clinical trials and the ability to successfully complete patient follow-up depends on many factors, including the size of the patient population, the nature of the trial protocol, the proximity of patients to clinical sites, the eligibility criteria for the clinical trial and patient compliance.  For example, patients may be discouraged from enrolling in our clinical trials if the trial protocol requires them to undergo extensive post-treatment procedures or follow-up to assess the safety and efficacy of our products, or they may be persuaded to participate in contemporaneous clinical trials of competitive products.  In addition, patients participating in our clinical trials may die before completion of the trial or suffer adverse medical events unrelated to or related to our products.  Delays in patient enrollment or failure of patients to continue to participate in a clinical trial may cause an increase in costs and delays or result in the failure of the clinical trial.

Physicians may not widely adopt the MGuard™ stent unless they determine, based on experience, long-term clinical data and published peer reviewed journal articles, that the use of the MGuard™ stent provides a safe and effective alternative to other existing treatments for coronary artery disease.

           We believe that physicians will not widely adopt the MGuard™ stent unless they determine, based on experience, long-term clinical data and published peer reviewed journal articles, that the use of our MGuard™ stent provides a safe and effective alternative to other existing treatments for coronary artery disease, including coronary artery bypass grafting, or CABG, balloon angioplasty, bare-metal stents and other drug-eluting stents, provided by Johnson & Johnson, Boston Scientific Corporation, Medtronic Inc., Abbott Laboratories, and others.
  
 
-27-

 
 
           We cannot provide any assurance that the data collected from our current and planned clinical trials will be sufficient to demonstrate that the MGuard™ stents are an attractive alternative to other procedures.  If we fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy that is at least comparable to other drug-eluting stents or bare-metal stents that have received regulatory approval and that are available on the market, our ability to successfully market the MGuard™ stent will be significantly limited.  Even if the data collected from clinical studies or clinical experience indicate positive results, each physician’s actual experience with our MGuard™ stent will vary.  Clinical trials conducted with the MGuard™ stent have involved procedures performed by physicians who are technically proficient and are high-volume stent users.  Consequently, both short- and long-term results reported in these clinical trials may be significantly more favorable than typical results of practicing physicians, which could negatively affect rates of adoptions of our products.  We also believe that published peer-reviewed journal articles and recommendations and support by influential physicians regarding our MGuard™ stent will be important for market acceptance and adoption, and we cannot assure you that we will receive these recommendations and support, or that supportive articles will be published.

Our products are based on a new technology, and we have only limited experience in regulatory affairs, which may affect our ability or the time required to obtain necessary regulatory approvals, if such approvals are received at all.

Because our products are new and long-term success measures have not been completely validated, regulatory agencies, including the FDA, may take a significant amount of time in evaluating product approval applications.  For example, there are currently several methods of measuring restenosis and we do not know which of these metrics, or combination of these metrics, will be considered appropriate by the FDA for evaluating the clinical efficacy of stents.  Treatments may exhibit a favorable measure using one of these metrics and an unfavorable measure using another metric.  Any change in the accepted metrics may result in reconfiguration of, and delays in, our clinical trials.  Additionally, we have only limited experience in filing and prosecuting the applications necessary to gain regulatory approvals, and our clinical, regulatory and quality assurance personnel are currently composed of only 30 employees.  As a result, we may experience a long regulatory process in connection with obtaining regulatory approvals for our products.

Even if our products are approved by regulatory authorities, if we or our suppliers fail to comply with ongoing regulatory requirements, or if we experience unanticipated problems with our products, these products could be subject to restrictions or withdrawal from the market.

           Any product for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, post-approval clinical data and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual review and periodic inspections by the FDA and other regulatory bodies.  In particular, we and our suppliers will be required to comply with QSR for the manufacture of our MGuard™ stent, which covers the methods and documentation of the design, testing, production, control, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, storage and shipping of any product for which we obtain marketing approval in the United States.  The FDA enforces the QSR through unannounced inspections.  We and our third-party manufacturers and suppliers have not yet been inspected by the FDA and will have to successfully complete such inspections before we receive U.S. regulatory approval for our products.  Failure by us or one of our suppliers to comply with statutes and regulations administered by the FDA and other regulatory bodies, or failure to take adequate response to any observations, could result in, among other things, any of the following enforcement actions:

 
·
warning letters or untitled letters;
 
·
fines and civil penalties;
 
·
unanticipated expenditures;
 
·
delays in approving, or refusal to approve, our products;
 
·
withdrawal or suspension of approval by the FDA or other regulatory bodies;
 
·
product recall or seizure;
 
·
orders for physician notification or device repair, replacement or refund;
 
·
interruption of production;
 
 
-28-

 
 
 
·
operating restrictions;
 
·
injunctions; and
 
·
criminal prosecution.

           If any of these actions were to occur, it would harm our reputation and cause our product sales and profitability to suffer.  Furthermore, key component suppliers may not currently be or may not continue to be in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

           Even if regulatory approval of a product is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed.  If the FDA determines that our promotional materials, training or other activities constitutes promotion of an unapproved use, it could request that we cease or modify our training or promotional materials or subject us to regulatory enforcement actions.  It is also possible that other federal, state or foreign enforcement authorities might take action if they consider our training or other promotional materials to constitute promotion of an unapproved use, which could result in significant fines or penalties under other statutory authorities, such as laws prohibiting false claims for reimbursement.

           Moreover, any modification to a device that has received FDA approval that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change in its intended use, design or manufacture, requires a new approval from the FDA.  If the FDA disagrees with any determination by us that new approval is not required, we may be required to cease marketing or to recall the modified product until approval is obtained.  In addition, we could also be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties.

           Additionally, we may be required to conduct costly post-market testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of our products, and we will be required to report adverse events and malfunctions related to our products.  Later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, including unanticipated adverse events or adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, manufacturing problems, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, such as QSR, may result in restrictions on such products or manufacturing processes, withdrawal of the products from the market, voluntary or mandatory recalls, fines, suspension of regulatory approvals, product seizures, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.  For example, Boston Scientific Corporation has initiated significant recalls of its stent products due to manufacturing and other quality issues associated with the products.

           Further, healthcare laws and regulations may change significantly in the future.  Any new healthcare laws or regulations may adversely affect our business.  A review of our business by courts or regulatory authorities may result in a determination that could adversely affect our operations.  In addition, the healthcare regulatory environment may change in a way that restricts our operations.

Failure to obtain regulatory approval in foreign jurisdictions will prevent us from marketing our products in such jurisdictions.

           We intend to market our products in international markets.  In order to market our products in the United States and many other foreign jurisdictions, we must obtain separate regulatory approvals.  The approval procedure varies among countries and can involve additional testing, and the time required to obtain approval may differ from that required to obtain CE Mark or FDA approval.  Foreign regulatory approval processes may include all of the risks associated with obtaining CE Mark or FDA approval in addition to other risks.  We may not obtain foreign regulatory approvals on a timely basis, if at all.  CE Mark does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries.  We may not be able to file for regulatory approvals and may not receive necessary approvals to commercialize our products in certain markets.
 
 
-29-

 
 
Regulatory delays or denials may increase our costs, cause us to lose revenue and materially and adversely affect our results of operations and the value of our business.

 
           The products we and any potential licensees license, develop, manufacture and market are subject to complex regulatory requirements in the United States, Europe and Asia.  The process of obtaining regulatory approvals to market a medical device, particularly in the United States, Europe and Japan, can be costly and time-consuming.  There can be no assurance that such approvals will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.  Furthermore, there can be no assurance of continuing compliance with all regulatory requirements necessary for the manufacture, marketing and sale of the products we will offer in each market where such products are expected to be sold, or that products we have commercialized will continue to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.  If a government regulatory agency were to conclude that we were not in compliance with applicable laws or regulations, the agency could institute proceedings to detain or seize our products, issue a recall, impose operating restrictions, enjoin future violations and assess civil and criminal penalties against us, our officers or employees and could recommend criminal prosecution.  Furthermore, regulators may proceed to ban, or request the recall, repair, replacement or refund of the cost of, any device manufactured or sold by us.  Furthermore, there can be no assurance that all necessary regulatory approvals will be obtained for the manufacture, marketing and sale in any market of any new product developed or that any potential licensee will develop using our licensed technology.

Clinical trials for our stent products involve a lengthy and expensive process, and there is a substantial risk of delay or failure.  Any such delay or failure would prevent us from commercializing our stent products, which would materially and adversely affect our results of operations and the value of our business.

           Our lead product in development, the MGuard TM Coronary with bio-stable mesh, is currently undergoing human clinical trials.  None of our other potential products have yet to begin human clinical trials.  Clinical trials can be lengthy, time-consuming and expensive.  The length of time required to complete clinical trials for pharmaceutical and medical device products varies substantially according to the degree of regulation and the type, complexity, novelty and intended use of a product, and can continue for several years and cost millions of dollars.  The commencement and completion of clinical trials for our products under development may be delayed by many factors, including:

 
 
·
governmental or regulatory delays and changes in regulatory requirements, policy and guidelines;
 
·
our inability or the inability of any potential licensee to manufacture or obtain from third parties materials sufficient for use in preclinical studies and clinical trials;
 
·
delays in patient enrollment and variability in the number and types of patients available for clinical trials;
 
·
difficulty in maintaining contact with patients after treatment, resulting in incomplete follow-up data; and
 
·
varying interpretation of data by regulatory agencies.
 
 
-30-

 
 
We operate in an intensely competitive and rapidly changing business environment, and there is a substantial risk our products could become obsolete or uncompetitive.

           The medical device market is highly competitive.  We compete with many medical service companies in the United States and internationally in connection with our current product and products under development.  We face competition from numerous pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in the therapeutics area, as well as competition from academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions.  When we commercialize our products, we expect to face intense competition from Cordis Corporation, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson; Boston Scientific Corporation; Guidant; Medtronic, Inc.; Abbott Vascular Devices; Terumo, and others.  Most of our current and potential competitors, including but not limited to those listed above, have, and will continue to have, substantially greater financial, technological, research and development, regulatory and clinical, manufacturing, marketing and sales, distribution and personnel resources, than we do.  There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient resources to successfully commercialize our products, if and when they are approved for sale.  The worldwide market for stent products is characterized by intensive development efforts and rapidly advancing technology.  Our future success will depend largely upon our ability to anticipate and keep pace with those developments and advances.  Current or future competitors could develop alternative technologies, products or materials that are more effective, easier to use or more economical than what we or any potential licensee develop.  If our technologies or products become obsolete or uncompetitive, our related product sales and licensing revenue would decrease.  This would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to maintain or establish satisfactory agreements with suppliers, we may not be able to obtain materials that are necessary to develop our products.

           We depend on outside suppliers for certain raw materials.  These raw materials or components may not always be available at our standards or on acceptable terms, if at all, and we may be unable to locate alternative suppliers or produce necessary materials or components on our own.  If we cannot obtain necessary materials or components, we may be unable to manufacture products of sufficient quality in sufficient quantities to meet customer needs.  We may also be unable to develop new products and applications and conduct clinical trials.  This would compromise our ability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals, thereby impairing our ability to expand into new markets or develop new products.

Our stents may be subject to certain pricing restrictions that could reduce our product revenue.

           The successful commercialization of our stents will depend, in part, on the extent to which third-party reimbursement is available from government health administration authorities, private health care insurers and other health-care funding organizations.  Some element of price control over medical devices exists in most major markets and third party reimbursement is highly variable and complex.  There is increasing pressure by governments worldwide to contain health care costs by limiting both the coverage and the level of reimbursement for therapeutic products and by refusing, in some cases, to provide any coverage for products that have not been approved by the relevant regulatory agency.  There can be no assurance that health administration or third party coverage will allow any potential licensee or us to achieve pricing that provides an appropriate return on such licensees’ or our investment.  If any potential licensee fails to achieve such pricing, it may de-emphasize or cease to commercialize our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We may be exposed to product liability claims and insurance may not be sufficient to cover these claims.

We may be exposed to product liability claims based on the use of any of our products, or products incorporating our licensed technology, in clinical trials.  We may also be exposed to product liability claims based on the sale of any such products following the receipt of regulatory approval.  Product liability claims could be asserted directly by consumers, health-care providers or others.  We have obtained product liability insurance coverage; however such insurance may not provide full coverage for our future clinical trials, products to be sold, and other aspects of our business. We also have liability insurance for our ongoing clinical trial in Europe.  Insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive and we may not be able to maintain current coverages, or expand our insurance coverage to include future clinical trials or the sale of products incorporating our licensed technology if marketing approval is obtained for such products, at a reasonable cost or in sufficient amounts to protect against losses due to product liability or at all.  A successful product liability claim or series of claims brought against us could result in judgments, fines, damages and liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  We may incur significant expense investigating and defending these claims, even if they do not result in liability.  Moreover, even if no judgments, fines, damages or liabilities are imposed on us, our reputation could suffer, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The successful management of operations depends on our ability to attract and retain talented personnel.

           We depend on the expertise of our senior management and research personnel, including our chief executive officer, Ofir Paz, and president, Asher Holzer, each of whom would be difficult to replace.  The loss of the services of any of our senior management could compromise our ability to achieve our objectives.  Furthermore, recruiting and retaining qualified personnel will be crucial to future success.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain necessary personnel on acceptable terms given the competition among medical device, biotechnology, pharmaceutical and healthcare companies, universities and non-profit research institutions for experienced management, scientists, researchers, and sales and marketing and manufacturing personnel.  If we are unable to attract, retain and motivate our key personnel, our operations may be jeopardized and our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

We are an international business, and we are exposed to various global and local risks that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

           We operate globally and develop and manufacture products in our research and manufacturing facilities in multiple countries.  Consequently, we face complex legal and regulatory requirements in multiple jurisdictions, which may expose us to certain financial and other risks.  International sales and operations are subject to a variety of risks, including:

 
·
foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;
 
·
greater difficulty in staffing and managing foreign operations;
 
·
greater risk of uncollectible accounts;
 
·
longer collection cycles;
 
·
logistical and communications challenges;
 
·
potential adverse changes in laws and regulatory practices, including export license requirements, trade barriers, tariffs and tax laws;
 
·
changes in labor conditions;
 
·
burdens and costs of compliance with a variety of foreign laws;
 
·
political and economic instability;
 
·
increases in duties and taxation;
 
·
foreign tax laws and potential increased costs associated with overlapping tax structures;
 
·
greater difficulty in protecting intellectual property; and
 
·
general economic and political conditions in these foreign markets.

           International markets are also affected by economic pressure to contain reimbursement levels and healthcare costs.  Profitability from international operations may be limited by risks and uncertainties related to regional economic conditions, regulatory and reimbursement approvals, competing products, infrastructure development, intellectual property rights protection and our ability to implement our overall business strategy.  We expect these risks will increase as we pursue our strategy to expand operations into new geographic markets.  We may not succeed in developing and implementing effective policies and strategies in each location where we conduct business.  Any failure to do so may harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We intend to design the protocol of our planned pivotal U.S. clinical trial for our MGuard Prime™ stent based in part on prior clinical trials that used different stents.  The results of these prior clinical trials may not be indicative of the clinical results we would obtain for our U.S. pivotal clinical trial.
 
           We intend to commercialize our technology in the United States in the form of our MGuard Prime™ stent, which is a cobalt-chromium stent covered with a polymer mesh.  We have only limited clinical data on our MGuard™ Coronary with bio-stable mesh stent, which we derived from the MGuard™ Coronary with bio-stable mesh study.  We intend to design the protocol for our planned United States pivotal clinical trial based on the results of prior clinical trials.  This trial is being designed in large part based on the results of our MGuard™ Coronary with bio-stable mesh study.
 
We have limited manufacturing capabilities and manufacturing personnel, and if our manufacturing facilities are unable to provide an adequate supply of products, our growth could be limited and our business could be harmed.
 
           We currently manufacture our MGuard™ stent at our facilities in Tel Aviv, Israel, and we have contracted with QualiMed, a German manufacturer, to assist in production.  If there were a disruption to our existing manufacturing facility, we would have no other means of manufacturing our MGuard™ stent until we were able to restore the manufacturing capability at our facility or develop alternative manufacturing facilities.  If we were unable to produce sufficient quantities of our MGuard™ stent for use in our current and planned clinical trials, or if our manufacturing process yields substandard stents, our development and commercialization efforts would be delayed.

           We currently have limited resources, facilities and experience to commercially manufacture our product candidates.  In order to produce our MGuard™ stent in the quantities that we anticipate will be required to meet anticipated market demand, we will need to increase, or “scale up,” the production process by a significant factor over the current level of production.  There are technical challenges to scaling-up manufacturing capacity, and developing commercial-scale manufacturing facilities will require the investment of substantial additional funds and hiring and retaining additional management and technical personnel who have the necessary manufacturing experience.  We may not successfully complete any required scale-up in a timely manner or at all.  If unable to do so, we may not be able to produce our MGuard™ stent in sufficient quantities to meet the requirements for the launch of the product or to meet future demand, if at all.  If we develop and obtain regulatory approval for our MGuard™ stent and are unable to manufacture a sufficient supply of our MGuard™ stent, our revenues, business and financial prospects would be adversely affected.  In addition, if the scaled-up production process is not efficient or produces stents that do not meet quality and other standards, our future gross margins may decline.
 
           In addition, while we have validated our manufacturing process for consistency, we have experienced drug release kinetic variability within and between manufacturing lots, and we may experience similar issues in the future.  Manufacturing lot variability may result in unfavorable clinical trial results.
 
 
-33-

 
 
           Additionally, any damage to or destruction of our Tel Aviv facilities or its equipment, prolonged power outage or contamination at our facility would significantly impair our ability to produce MGuard™ stents.
 
Our manufacturing facilities and the manufacturing facilities of our suppliers must comply with applicable regulatory requirements.  If we fail to achieve regulatory approval for these manufacturing facilities, our business and results of operations would be harmed.
 
           Completion of our clinical trials and commercialization of our product candidates requires access to, or the development of, manufacturing facilities that meet applicable regulatory standards to manufacture a sufficient supply of our products.  The FDA and other regulatory bodies must approve facilities that manufacture our products for commercial purposes, as well as the manufacturing processes and specifications for the product.  Suppliers of components of, and products used to manufacture our products, must also comply with FDA and foreign regulatory requirements, which often require significant time, money and record-keeping and quality assurance efforts and subject our and our suppliers to potential regulatory inspections and stoppages.  Our suppliers may not satisfy these requirements.  If we or our suppliers do not achieve the required regulatory approval for our manufacturing operations, our commercialization efforts could be delayed, which would harm our business and results of operations.
 
Quality issues in our manufacturing processes could delay clinical development and commercialization efforts.
 
           The production of our MGuard™ stent must occur in a highly controlled, clean environment to minimize particles and other yield and quality-limiting contaminants.  In spite of stringent quality controls, weaknesses in process control or minute impurities in materials may cause a substantial percentage of defective products in a lot.  If we are unable to maintain stringent quality controls, or if contamination problems arise, our clinical development and commercialization efforts could be delayed, which would harm our business and results of operations.
 
If we fail to obtain an adequate level of reimbursement for our products by third party payors, there may be no commercially viable markets for our product candidates or the markets may be much smaller than expected.
 
           The availability and levels of reimbursement by governmental and other third party payors affect the market for our product candidates.  The efficacy, safety, performance and cost-effectiveness of our product candidates and of any competing products will determine the availability and level of reimbursement.  Reimbursement and healthcare payment systems in international markets vary significantly by country, and include both government sponsored healthcare and private insurance.  To obtain reimbursement or pricing approval in some countries, we may be required to produce clinical data, which may involve one or more clinical trials, that compares the cost-effectiveness of our products to other available therapies.  We may not obtain international reimbursement or pricing approvals in a timely manner, if at all.  Our failure to receive international reimbursement or pricing approvals would negatively impact market acceptance of our products in the international markets in which those approvals are sought.
 
           We believe that future reimbursement may be subject to increased restrictions both in the United States and in international markets.  Future legislation, regulation or reimbursement policies of third party payors may adversely affect the demand for our products currently under development and limit our ability to sell our product candidates on a profitable basis.  In addition, third party payors continually attempt to contain or reduce the costs of healthcare by challenging the prices charged for healthcare products and services.  If reimbursement for our products is unavailable or limited in scope or amount or if pricing is set at unsatisfactory levels, market acceptance of our products would be impaired and future revenues, if any, would be adversely affected.

In the United States, our business could be significantly and adversely affected by recent healthcare reform legislation and other administration and legislative proposals.
 
           The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and Health Care and Educational Reconciliation Act (the “Health Care Acts”) were enacted into law in March 2010. Certain provisions of the Health Care Acts will not be effective for a number of years and there are many programs and requirements for which the details have not yet been fully established or consequences not fully understood, and it is unclear what the full impacts will be from the legislation. The legislation does levy a 2.3% excise tax on all U.S. medical device sales beginning in 2013. If we commence sales of our MGuard™ stent in the United States, this new tax may materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. The legislation also focuses on a number of Medicare provisions aimed at improving quality and decreasing costs. It is uncertain at this point what negative unintended consequences these provisions will have on patient access to new technologies. The Medicare provisions include value-based payment programs, increased funding of comparative effectiveness research, reduced hospital payments for avoidable readmissions and hospital acquired conditions, and pilot programs to evaluate alternative payment methodologies that promote care coordination (such as bundled physician and hospital payments). Additionally, the provisions include a reduction in the annual rate of inflation for hospitals starting in 2011 and the establishment of an independent payment advisory board to recommend ways of reducing the rate of growth in Medicare spending. We cannot predict what healthcare programs and regulations will be ultimately implemented at the federal or state level in the United States, or the effect of any future legislation or regulation. However, any changes that lower reimbursements for our products or reduce medical procedure volumes could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
 
Many of our competitors are much larger than us, with significant resources and incentives to initiate litigation against us.

           Based on the prolific litigation that has occurred in the stent industry and the fact that we may pose a competitive threat to some large and well-capitalized companies that own or control patents relating to stents and their use, manufacture and delivery, we believe that it is possible that one or more third parties will assert a patent infringement claim against the manufacture, use or sale of our MGuard™ stent based on one or more of these patents.  It is also possible that a lawsuit asserting patent infringement and related claims may have already been filed against us of which we are not aware.  A number of these patents are owned by very large and well-capitalized companies that are active participants in the stent market.  As the number of competitors in the stent market grows, the possibility of patent infringement by us, or a patent infringement claim against us, increases.

 
           These companies have maintained their position in the market by, among other things, establishing intellectual property rights relating to their products and enforcing these rights aggressively against their competitors and new entrants into the market.  All of the major companies in the stent and related markets, including Boston Scientific, Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic, have been repeatedly involved in patent litigation relating to stents since at least 1997.  The stent and related markets have experienced rapid technological change and obsolescence in the past, and our competitors have strong incentives to stop or delay the introduction of new products and technologies.  We may pose a competitive threat to many of the companies in the stent and related markets.  Accordingly, many of these companies will have a strong incentive to take steps, through patent litigation or otherwise, to prevent us from commercializing our products.

If we are unable to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection covering our products, others may be able to make, use or sell our products, which would adversely affect our revenue.

           Our ability to protect our products from unauthorized or infringing use by third parties depends substantially on our ability to obtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents.  Due to evolving legal standards relating to the patentability, validity and enforceability of patents covering medical devices and pharmaceutical inventions and the scope of claims made under these patents, our ability to enforce patents is uncertain and involves complex legal and factual questions.  Accordingly, rights under any of our pending patents may not provide us with commercially meaningful protection for our products or afford a commercial advantage against our competitors or their competitive products or processes.  In addition, patents may not be issued from any pending or future patent applications owned by or licensed to us, and moreover, patents that may be issued to us in the future may not be valid or enforceable.  Further, even if valid and enforceable, our patents may not be sufficiently broad to prevent others from marketing products like ours, despite our patent rights.

           The validity of our patent claims depends, in part, on whether prior art references exist that describe or render obvious our inventions as of the filing date of our patent applications.  We may not have identified all prior art, such as U.S. and foreign patents or published applications or published scientific literature, that could adversely affect the patentability of our pending patent applications.  For example, patent applications in the United States are maintained in confidence for up to 18 months after their filing.  In some cases, however, patent applications remain confidential in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, for the entire time prior to issuance as a U.S. patent.  Patent applications filed in countries outside the United States are not typically published until at least 18 months from their first filing date.  Similarly, publication of discoveries in the scientific or patent literature often lags behind actual discoveries.  Therefore, we cannot be certain that we were the first to invent, or the first to file patent applications relating to, our stent technologies.  In the event that a third party has also filed a U.S. patent application covering our stents or a similar invention, we may have to participate in an adversarial proceeding, known as an interference, declared by the USPTO to determine priority of invention in the United States.  It is possible that we may be unsuccessful in the interference, resulting in a loss of some portion or all of our position in the United States.  The laws of some foreign jurisdictions do not protect intellectual property rights to the same degree as in the United States, and many companies have encountered significant difficulties in protecting and defending such rights in foreign jurisdictions.  If we encounter such difficulties or are otherwise precluded from effectively protecting our intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions, our business prospects could be substantially harmed.

           We may initiate litigation to enforce our patent rights on any patents issued on pending patent applications, which may prompt adversaries in such litigation to challenge the validity, scope or enforceability of our patents.  If a court decides that such patents are not valid, not enforceable or of a limited scope, we may not have the right to stop others from using our inventions.

           We also rely on trade secret protection to protect our interests in proprietary know-how and for processes for which patents are difficult to obtain or enforce.  We may not be able to protect our trade secrets adequately.  In addition, we rely on non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants and other parties to protect, in part, trade secrets and other proprietary technology.  These agreements may be breached and we may not have adequate remedies for any breach.  Moreover, others may independently develop equivalent proprietary information, and third parties may otherwise gain access to our trade secrets and proprietary knowledge.  Any disclosure of confidential data into the public domain or to third parties could allow competitors to learn our trade secrets and use the information in competition against us.
 
 
-36-

 
 
We depend on single-source suppliers for some of the components in our MGuard™ stent. The loss of such suppliers could delay our clinical trials or prevent or delay commercialization of our MGuard™ stent.

           Some of the components of our products are currently provided by only one vendor, or a single-source supplier.  We depend on QualiMed, which manufactures the body of the stent, as well as MeKo, BMT and SewFine for various important elements of our products.  We may have difficulty obtaining similar components from other suppliers that are acceptable to the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities if it becomes necessary.

           If we have to switch to a replacement supplier, we will face additional regulatory delays and the manufacture and delivery of our MGuard™ stent would be interrupted for an extended period of time, which would delay completion of our clinical trials or commercialization of our products.  In addition, we will be required to obtain prior regulatory approval from the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities to use different suppliers or components that may not be as safe or as effective.  As a result, regulatory approval of our products may not be received on a timely basis or at all.

If we are unable to manage our expected growth, we may not be able to commercialize our products, including our MGuard™ stent.

           We intend to continue to rapidly expand operations and grow our research and development, product development and administrative operations and invest substantially in our manufacturing facilities.  This expansion has and is expected to continue to place a significant strain on our management and operational and financial resources.  In particular, the commencement of our planned pivotal clinical trial in the United States will consume a significant portion of management’s time and our financial resources.  To manage expected growth and to commercialize our MGuard™ stent, we will be required to improve existing, and implement new, operational and financial systems, procedures and controls and expand, train and manage our growing employee base.  Our current and planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support our anticipated growth.  If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our business could be harmed.

Legislative or regulatory reform of the healthcare system may affect our ability to sell our products profitably.
 
           In both the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions, there have been a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change the regulatory and healthcare systems in ways that could impact our ability to sell our products profitably, if at all.  In the United States in recent years, new legislation has been proposed at the federal and state levels that would effect major changes in the healthcare system.  In addition, new regulations and interpretations of existing healthcare statutes and regulations are frequently adopted.  The potential for adoption of these proposals affects or will affect our ability to raise capital, obtain additional collaborators and market our products.  We expect to experience pricing pressures in connection with the future sale of our products due to the trend toward managed health care, the increasing influence of health maintenance organizations and additional legislative proposals.  Our results of operations could be adversely affected by future healthcare reforms.

Our strategic business plan may not produce the intended growth in revenue and operating income.
 
Our strategies include making significant investments in sales and marketing programs to achieve revenue growth and margin improvement targets. If we do not achieve the expected benefits from these investments or otherwise fail to execute on our strategic initiatives, we may not achieve the growth improvement we are targeting and our results of operations may be adversely affected.
 
 
-37-

 
 
In addition, as part of our strategy for growth, we may make acquisitions and enter into strategic alliances such as joint ventures and joint development agreements. However, we may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions or integrate acquisitions successfully, and our strategic alliances may not prove to be successful. In this regard, acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the integration of the operations, technologies, services and products of the acquired companies and the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in any particular transaction, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain all such risks. In addition, acquisitions could result in the incurrence of substantial additional indebtedness and other expenses or in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities. There can be no assurance that difficulties encountered with acquisitions will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may have violated Israeli securities law.

We may have violated section 15 of the Israeli Security Law 1968 (the “ISL”). Section 15 to the ISL requires the filing of a prospectus with the Israel Security Authority (the “ISA”) and the delivery thereof to purchasers in connection with an offer or sale of securities to more than 35 parties during any 12 month period. We allegedly issued securities to more than 35 investors during certain 12-month periods, ending in October 2008. We filed an application for “No action” with the ISA in connection with the foregoing. To date, the ISA has not provided any response to such application. A failure to receive “No action” relief could expose us to fines and other remedies that could be detrminental to us.

We will need to raise additional capital to meet our business requirements in the future and such capital raising may be costly or difficult to obtain and could dilute current stockholders’ ownership interests.

We will need to raise additional capital in the future, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all.  We raised approximately $9,681,000 million in the Private Placement, and we expect that such proceeds, together with our income, will be insufficient to fully realize all of our business objectives.  For instance, we will need to raise additional funds to accomplish the following:

pursuing growth opportunities, including more rapid expansion;
acquiring complementary businesses;
making capital improvements to improve our infrastructure;
hiring qualified management and key employees;
developing new services, programming or products;
responding to competitive pressures;
complying with regulatory requirements such as licensing and registration; and
maintaining compliance with applicable laws.
 
Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity backed securities may dilute current stockholders’ ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the market value of our equity securities.

The terms of any securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect on the holders of any of our securities then outstanding.
 
 
-38-

 
 
Furthermore, any additional debt or equity financing that we may need may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all.  If we are unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis, we may have to curtail our development activities and growth plans and/or be forced to sell assets, perhaps on unfavorable terms, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately could be forced to discontinue our operations and liquidate, in which event it is unlikely that stockholders would receive any distribution on their shares.   Further, we may not be able to continue operating if we do not generate sufficient revenues from operations needed to stay in business.

In addition, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs.  We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.

 
Risks Related to Our Organization and Our Common Stock

As a result of the Share Exchange, we became a company that is subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairing our ability to grow.
 
As a result of the Share Exchange, we became a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and other federal securities laws, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”).  The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including reporting of the Share Exchange) and furnishing audited reports to stockholders will cause our expenses to be higher than they would have been if we remained privately held and did not consummate the Share Exchange.

If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or to prevent fraud.  Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.
 
It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures.  Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud.  If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed.  In addition, if we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, then we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications required by such act, which may preclude us from keeping our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission current and may adversely affect any market for, and the liquidity of, our common stock.
 
 
-39-

 
 
Public company compliance may make it more difficult for us to attract and retain officers and directors.
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and new rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies.  As a public company, we expect these new rules and regulations to increase our compliance costs and to make certain activities more time consuming and costly.  As a public company, we also expect that these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage.  As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.

Because we became public by means of a reverse merger, we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.
 
There may be risks associated with us becoming public through a “reverse merger”. Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will, in the future, want to conduct any secondary offerings on our behalf.

Our stock price may be volatile.
 
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
 
changes in our industry;
competitive pricing pressures;
our ability to obtain working capital financing;
 additions or departures of key personnel;
limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock;
sales of our common stock;
our ability to execute our business plan;
operating results that fall below expectations;
loss of any strategic relationship;
regulatory developments;
economic and other external factors; and
period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.
 
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.  These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Our securities are restricted securities with limited transferability.

Our securities should be considered a long-term, illiquid investment. Our common stock has not been registered under the Securities Act, and cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act or any exemption from registration. In addition, our common stock is not registered under any state securities laws that would permit its transfer. Because of these restrictions, a stockholder will likely find it difficult to liquidate an investment in our common stock.
 
 
-40-

 
 
We are subject to penny stock rules which will make the shares of our common stock more difficult to sell.

We are subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “penny stock” rules since our shares of common stock sell below $5.00 per share. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a per share price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.

 
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. The penny stock rules are burdensome and may reduce purchases of any offerings and reduce the trading activity for shares of our common stock. As long as our shares of common stock are subject to the penny stock rules, the holders of such shares of common stock may find it more difficult to sell their securities.

Our shares of common stock are very thinly traded, and the price may not reflect our value and there can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock in the future.

Our shares of common stock are thinly traded. Due to the illiquidity, the market price may not accurately reflect our relative value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. Investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. If a more active market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Because there may be a low price for our shares of common stock, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities. Even if an investor finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in the shares of our common stock, the combination of brokerage commissions, transfer fees, taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of such shares of common stock as collateral for a loans.

We may apply the proceeds of the Private Placement to uses that ultimately do not improve our operating results or increase the price of our common stock.
 
We intend to use $1,000,000 of the net proceeds from the Private Placement to complete the Dr. Gregg Stone-Dr. Alexandre Abizaid trials, $7,600,000 for the FDA trials with Harvard Clinical Research Institute and the remainder for general corporate purposes.  However, our management has broad discretion in how we actually use these proceeds.  These proceeds could be applied in ways that do not ultimately improve our operating results or otherwise increase the value of our common stock.
 
 
-41-

 
 
We may need additional financing which may not be available on acceptable terms, which may in turn dilute your investment in us.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including but not limited to: continued market acceptance of our services; competitive pressure on the price of our products; the extent to which we invest in new locations, develop new relationships with producers of polymers and chemicals as well as consumers of polymers and chemicals; and the response of competitors to our products.  We believe that the existing cash balances, including the net proceeds from the Private Placement, and funds generated from operations will provide us with sufficient funds to finance our operations for the foreseeable future.  To the extent that our current funds, together with existing resources, are insufficient to fund our activities over the long-term, we may need to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing or from other sources. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt may result in additional dilution to our stockholders and such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the common stock.  To the extent that we rely upon debt financing, we will incur the obligation to repay the funds borrowed with interest and may become subject to covenants and restrictions that restrict operating flexibility.  No assurance can be given that additional equity or debt financing will be available or that, if available, it can be obtained on terms favorable to us or our stockholders.  Failure to obtain necessary financing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our board of directors can authorize the issuance of preferred stock, which could diminish the rights of holders of our common stock, and make a change of control of us more difficult even if it might benefit our stockholders.
 
Our board of directors is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the voting powers, preferences and other rights and limitations of the preferred stock.  Accordingly, we may issue shares of preferred stock with a preference over our common stock with respect to dividends or distributions on liquidation or dissolution, or that may otherwise adversely affect the voting or other rights of the holders of common stock.  Issuances of preferred stock, depending upon the rights, preferences and designations of the preferred stock, may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control, even if that change of control might benefit our stockholders.

Each of David Ivry, Robert Fischell and Fellice Pelled resigned as directors of InspireMD on March 31, 2011.
(4)
We are currently obligated to issue to Robert Fischell options to purchase 162,320 shares of common stock.

Other than Mr. Paz and Dr. Holzer, we paid each director $330 per meeting for each board meeting attended and $1,230 for each quarter served on the board of directors.  We also granted annually to each director options to purchase 81,160 shares of our common stock at an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value price per share of our common stock on the grant date.   The options vest over four quarters from the grant date.  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, our directors received the compensation from us for their services as set forth in the table above.
 
Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance
 
We currently have directors’ and officers’ liability insurance insuring our directors and officers against liability for acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers, subject to certain exclusions.  Such insurance also insures us against losses which we may incur in indemnifying our officers and directors.  In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with key officers and directors and such persons shall also have indemnification rights under applicable laws, and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws.
 
Code of Ethics
  
We intend to adopt a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, but have not done so to date due to our relatively small size. We intend to adopt a written code of ethics in the near future.

Board Committees

We expect our board of directors, in the future, to appoint an audit committee, nominating committee and compensation committee, and to adopt charters relative to each such committee.  We intend to appoint such persons to committees of the board of directors as are expected to be required to meet the corporate governance requirements imposed by a national securities exchange, although we are not required to comply with such requirements until we elect to seek a listing on a national securities exchange.  In addition, we intend that a majority of our directors will be independent directors, of which at least one director will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert,” within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not currently have an “audit committee financial expert” since we currently do not have an audit committee in place.

In connection with the Private Placement, on March 31, 2011, we issued investors five-year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,226,999 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.80 per share.

The warrants contain provisions that protect their holders against dilution by adjustment of the purchase price in certain events such as stock dividends, stock splits and other similar events. If at any time after the one year anniversary of the original issuance date of such warrants there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the warrant, then the holders of such warrants have the right to exercise the warrants by means of a cashless exercise. In addition, if (i) the volume-weighted average price of our common stock for 15 consecutive trading days is at least 250% of the exercise price of the warrants; (ii) the 20-day average daily trading volume of our common stock has been at least 175,000 shares; (iii) a registration statement providing for the resale of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and (iv) the common stock is listed for trading on a national securities exchange, then we may require each investor to exercise all or a portion of its warrant pursuant to the terms described above within seven business days following the delivery of a notice of acceleration. Any warrant that is not exercised as aforesaid shall expire automatically at the end of such 7-day period.

We are prohibited from effecting the exercise of any such warrant to the extent that as a result of such exercise the holder of the exercised warrant beneficially owns more than 9.99% in the aggregate of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of our common stock upon the exercise of the warrant. The warrants contain provisions that protect their holders against dilution by adjustment of the purchase price in certain events such as stock dividends, stock splits and other similar events. In addition, if at any time following the one year anniversary of the original issuance date of the warrants, (i) our common stock is listed for trading on a national securities exchange, (ii) the closing sales price of our common stock for 15 consecutive trading days is at least 165% of the exercise price of the warrants; (iii) the 15 day average daily trading volume of our common stock has been at least 150,000 shares and (iv) a registration statement providing for the resale of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective, then we may require each investor to exercise all or a portion of its warrant pursuant to the terms described above at any time upon at least 15 trading days prior written notice. Any warrant that is not exercised as aforesaid shall expire automatically at the end of the 15-day notice period.

This summary description of the warrants is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form of $1.80   Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit 10.6 and the Form of $1.23   Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit 10.7.

$1.50 Consultant Warrants

In connection with the Share Exchange, on March 31, 2011, we issued Endicott Management Partners, LLC, The Corbran LLC and David Stefansky three-year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The terms of these warrants are identical to the $1.80 Warrants described above, except that the exercise price for the $1.50 Consultant Warrants is $1.50 per share.

Stock Options

2006 Employee Stock Option Plan

InspireMD previously adopted the Inspire M.D. Ltd. 2006 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”) which provides for the granting of stock options to employees, officers, consultants, and directors.  Under the 2006 Plan, 9,739,200 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under awards, and options to purchase 6,795,584 shares of common stock have been granted to date under the 2006 Plan.  As further described below, upon the closing of the Share Exchange, we became the sponsor of the 2006 Plan, and the 2006 Plan became a sub-plan to the 2011 UMBRELLA Option Plan.

2011 UMBRELLA Option Plan

On March 28, 2011, our board of directors and stockholders adopted and approved the InspireMD, Inc. 2011 UMBRELLA Option Plan (the “2011 Umbrella Plan”).  Under the 2011 Umbrella Plan, we reserved 9,468,100 shares of our common stock as awards to the employees, consultants, and service providers to InspireMD, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide (the “Group”).  The 2011 Umbrella Option Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2011.

 
The 2011 Umbrella Plan currently consists of three components, the primary plan document that governs all awards granted under the Plan, and two appendices: (i) Appendix A, designated for the purpose of grants of stock options to Israeli employees and officers of the Group and any other service providers who are subject to Israeli income tax, and (ii) Appendix B, which is the 2011 U.S. Equity Incentive Plan, designated for the purpose of grants of stock options and restricted stock awards to U.S. employees, consultants, and service providers who are subject to the U.S. income tax.

Upon the closing of the Share Exchange, we became the sponsor of the 2006 Plan and the 2006 Plan became a sub-plan under Appendix A to the 2011 Umbrella Plan.  All outstanding option awards previously granted under the 2006 Plan will be treated as granted under the 2011 Umbrella Plan.  Thus, all outstanding options to purchase ordinary shares of InspireMD (which are converted to options to purchase shares of common stock of Saguaro pursuant to the Exchange Agreement) will be converted to options to purchase shares of common stock of InspireMD, Inc.

The purpose of the 2011 Umbrella Plan is to provide an incentive to attract and retain employees,  officers, consultants, directors, and service providers whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship and to stimulate an active interest of such persons in our development and financial success.  The 2011 Umbrella Plan will be administered by our board of directors until such time as such authority has been delegated to a committee of the board of directors (the “Administrator”).  Unless terminated earlier by the board of directors, the 2011 Umbrella Plan will expire on March 27, 2012.

The Administrator will determine the recipients of the awards and the number of shares of common stock subject to such awards.  Subject to the terms of the 2011 Umbrella Plan, the terms and conditions of each award of options or restricted stock (for U.S. grants), including vesting conditions and the effect of a termination of service, will be determined by the Administrator.  Awards granted pursuant to the 2011 Umbrella Plan will be evidenced by a written award agreement.  The Administrator will interpret the 2011 Umbrella Plan and any awards granted under the plan and any such determination by the Administrator will be final and conclusive, unless otherwise determined by the board of directors.

To date, no awards have been granted pursuant to the 2011 Umbrella Plan, other than the awards to be assumed which were previously granted pursuant to the 2006 Plan, as described above.

Stock Options Issued Outside of the 2006 Plan and 2011 Umbrella Plan

In addition to the foregoing, we have granted options to purchase 811,186 shares of common stock outside of the 2006 Plan and the 2011 Umbrella Plan.

Commitments to Grant Stock Options

We currently have a commitment to issue options to purchase a maximum aggregate of 564,874 shares of common stock to five of our customers, contingent on such customers’ achieving specified sales targets for 2011.  We anticipate issuing these options pursuant to the 2011 Umbrella Plan.
 
 
-52-

 
 
We currently have a commitment to issue options to purchase a maximum aggregate of 271,886 shares of common stock to finders, employees and other consultants, subject to board approval.  We anticipate issuing these options pursuant to the 2011 Umbrella Plan.

We currently have a commitment to issue options to purchase a maximum aggregate of 124,865 shares of common stock to certain recipients, subject to execution of the appropriate documentation by each recipient.  We anticipate issuing these options pursuant to the 2011 Umbrella Plan.

Dividend Policy
 
We currently intend to use all available funds to develop our business and do not anticipate that we will pay dividends in the future.  We can give no assurances that we will ever have excess funds available to pay dividends.
 
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
The Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) provides, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, such as us, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful.  In the case of a derivative action, a Delaware corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person will have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court in which such action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.
 
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the extent and in the manner permitted by the provisions of the DGCL, as amended from time to time, subject to any permissible expansion or limitation of such indemnification, as may be set forth in any stockholders’ or directors’ resolution or by contract.
 
We also have director and officer indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors that provide, among other things, for the indemnification to the fullest extent permitted or required by Delaware law, provided that such indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification in connection with any “claim” (as such term is defined in the agreement) initiated by the indemnitee against us or our directors or officers unless we join or consent to the initiation of such claim, or the purchase and sale of securities by the indemnitee in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
 
Any repeal or modification of these provisions approved by our stockholders shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the liability of a director or officer of ours existing as of the time of such repeal or modification.
 
 
-53-

 
 
We are also permitted to apply for insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent for liability arising out of his actions, whether or not the DGCL would permit indemnification.  We currently have directors’ and officers’ liability insurance insuring our directors and officers against liability for acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers, subject to certain exclusions (see “Executive Compensation—Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance”).  
 
Anti-Takeover Effect of Delaware Law, Certain By-Law Provisions
 
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of discouraging potential acquisition proposals or tender offers or delaying or preventing a change of control of our company. These provisions are as follows:

 
·
they provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by our chairman, our president or by a resolution adopted by a majority of our board of directors;

 
·
they do not include a provision for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Under cumulative voting, a minority stockholder holding a sufficient number of shares may be able to ensure the election of one or more directors. The absence of cumulative voting may have the effect of limiting the ability of minority stockholders to effect changes in our board of directors; and

 
·
they allow us to issue, without stockholder approval, up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock that could adversely affect the rights and powers of the holders of our common stock.
 
In addition, we are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover law.  In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner.  For purposes of Section 203, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior, did own, 15% or more of the voting stock.
 
Trading Information
 
Our common stock is currently approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board maintained by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. under the symbol SAGU and there is no active trading market for our stock.  We have notified the OTC Bulletin Board of our name change and will obtain a new symbol.  As soon as practicable, and assuming we satisfy all necessary initial listing requirements, we intend to apply to have our common stock listed for trading on the NYSE Amex Equities or The Nasdaq Stock Market, although we cannot be certain that any of these applications will be approved.
 
Transfer Agent
 
The transfer agent for our common stock is Columbia Stock Transfer Company.   We will serve as warrant agent for the $1.80   Warrants, the $1.23   Warrants, the Warrant issued to the Placement Agent in connection with the Private Placement and the $1.50 Consultant Warrants.
 
 
-54-

 
 
Code of Ethics
 
We intend to adopt a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, but have not done so to date due to our relatively small size. We intend to adopt a written code of ethics in the near future.
 
Board Committees
 
We expect our board of directors, in the future, to appoint an audit committee, nominating committee and compensation committee, and to adopt charters relative to each such committee.  We intend to appoint such persons to committees of the board of directors as are expected to be required to meet the corporate governance requirements imposed by a national securities exchange, although we are not required to comply with such requirements until we elect to seek a listing on a national securities exchange.

Item  4.01        Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
 
On March 31, 2011, in connection with the Share Exchange, we dismissed Stan J.H. Lee, CPA as our independent registered public accounting firm. Stan J.H. Lee, CPA had previously been engaged as the principal accountant to audit our financial statements (when we were known as Saguaro Resources, Inc.).  The reason for the dismissal of Stan J.H. Lee, CPA is that, following the consummation of the Share Exchange on March 31, 2011, our primary business became the business conducted by InspireMD.  The independent registered public accountant of InspireMD is the firm of Kesselman & Kesselman, Certified Public Accountants, a member of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited (“PWC”).  We believe that it is in our best interest to have PWC continue to work with our business, and we therefore retained PWC as our new principal independent registered accounting firm, effective as of March 31, 2011. PWC is located at Trade Tower, 25 Hamered Street, Tel Aviv, 68125, Israel.  The decision to change accountants was approved by our board of directors on March 31, 2011.
 
The report of Stan J.H. Lee, CPA on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the report raised substantial doubt as to our  ability to continue as a going concern.
 
From our inception through March 31, 2011, there were no disagreements with Stan J.H. Lee, CPA on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Stan J.H. Lee, CPA, would have caused it to make reference to the matter in connection with its reports.
 
From our inception through March 31, 2011, we did not consult PWC regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.
 
 
-57-

 
 
On February 7, 2007, InspireMD appointed Ernst & Young, LLP (“Ernst & Young”) as its independent accountant and on August 15, 2010, InspireMD dismissed Ernst & Young as its independent accountant. Ernst & Young issued reports on InspireMD’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006.  Ernst & Young also issued financial statements for tax purposes for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008. On October 6, 2010, InspireMD’s board of directors unanimously approved the appointment of PWC as its independent accountant commencing with work to be performed in relation to its nine month period ended September 30, 2010, and the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009.  InspireMD had no occasion in 2008 and 2009 and any subsequent interim period prior to October 6, 2010 upon which it consulted with PWC on any matters.
 
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, and the subsequent interim period through August 15, 2010, there were (i) no disagreements with Ernst & Young on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to Ernst & Young’s satisfaction, would have caused Ernst & Young to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports for such years, and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
  
We have made the contents of this Current Report on Form 8-K available to Stan J.H. Lee, CPA and requested that Stan J.H. Lee, CPA furnish us a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission as to whether Stan J.H. Lee, CPA agrees or disagrees with, or wishes to clarify our expression of, our views, or containing any additional information.  A copy of Stan J.H. Lee, CPA’s letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission is included as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

We have made the contents of this Current Report on Form 8-K available to Ernst & Young and requested that Ernst & Young furnish us a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission as to whether Ernst & Young agrees or disagrees with, or wishes to clarify our expression of, our views, or containing any additional information.  We will file such letter as an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K upon receipt.

Item  5.01        Changes in Control of Registrant.
 
Reference is made to the disclosure set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item  5.02        Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
Our sole officer and director immediately prior to the Share Exchange resigned from all positions with us as of March 31, 2011, effective upon the closing of the Share Exchange.  In connection with the Share Exchange, Ofir Paz and Asher Holzer were appointed to our board of directors consists and Ofir Paz was appointed as our chief executive officer, Asher Holzer was appointed as our president and chairman and Craig Shore was appointed as our chief financial officer, secretary and treasurer.  Reference is made to the disclosure set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item  5.06        Change in Shell Company Status.
 
Following the consummation of the Share Exchange described in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, we believe that we are not a shell corporation as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

Item  7.01        Regulation FD Disclosure.

 
In connection with the Private Placement, we provided the investors with an investor presentation regarding the operations of and plans for the company (the “Investor Presentation”) and financial projections for the company (the “Financial Projections”).  A copy of the Investor Presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and a copy of the Financial Projections is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this report.

 
The forward-looking statements in the Investor Presentation and the Financial Projections are based on management’s present expectations and beliefs about future events.

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

INSPIREMD, INC.
2011 UMBRELLA OPTION PLAN – U.S. APPENDIX


1.            Grant of Option .  Pursuant to the 2011 U.S. Equity Incentive Plan (the “ U.S. Appendix ”), a sub-plan to the InspireMD, Inc. 2011 UMBRELLA Option Plan (the “ Umbrella Plan ”)(collectively, the Umbrella Plan and U.S. Appendix being referred to herein as, the “ Plan ”) for employees, consultants, outside directors, and  other service providers of InpsireMD, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”) and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the “ Group ”), the Company grants to

_________________________
(the “ Participant ”),

an option to purchase Shares of the Company as follows:

On the date hereof, the Company grants to the Participant an option (the “ Stock Option ”) to purchase ___________________ (__________) full Shares (the “ Optioned Shares ”) at an Exercise Price equal to $________ per share.  The “ Date of Grant ” of this Stock Option is _________________, 20__.

The “ Option Period ” shall commence on the Date of Grant and shall expire on the date immediately preceding the tenth (10 th ) anniversary of the Date of Grant, unless terminated earlier in accordance with Section 4 below.  The Stock Option is a nonqualified stock option.  This Stock Option is intended to comply with the provisions governing nonqualified stock options under the final Treasury Regulations issued on April 17, 2007, in order to exempt this Stock Option from application of Section 409A of the Code.

2.            Subject to Plan .  The Stock Option and its exercise are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and the terms of the Plan shall control to the extent not otherwise inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.  The capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan.  The Stock Option is subject to any rules promulgated pursuant to the Plan by the Board or the Administrator and communicated to the Participant in writing.

3.            Vesting; Time of Exercise .  Except as specifically provided in this Agreement and subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan, the Optioned Shares shall be vested and exercisable as follows:

a.           Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Optioned Shares shall vest and become exercisable upon the expiration of twelve (12) months after the Date of Grant (the “ First Vesting Date ”); provided that the Participant is continuously employed by or providing services to the Group from the Date of Grant until the First Vesting Date.

b.           The remaining Optioned Shares shall vest and become exercisable in twelve (12) equal portions of one-sixteenth (1/16) of the Optioned Shares, each portion vesting on the last day of each three (3) month period, the first of which shall commence on the first (1 st ) day following First Vesting Date (each, a “ Quarterly Vesting Period ”), provided that the Participant is continuously employed by or providing services to the Group from the First Vesting Date or preceding Quarterly Vesting Date through the last day of the applicable Quarterly Vesting Period.
 
 
 

 
 
c.           [ In the event that (i) a Transaction occurs, (ii) this Agreement is not assumed by the Successor Company or the Acquiring Company, as applicable, (iii) the Successor Company or the Acquiring Company, as applicable, does not substitute its own stock option for this Stock Option, then upon the effective date of such Transaction, the total Optioned Shares not previously vested shall thereupon immediately become fully vested and this Stock Option shall become fully exercisable, if not previously so exercisable .]

4.            Term; Forfeiture .

a.           Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, to the extent the unexercised portion of the Stock Option relates to Optioned Shares which are not vested on the Participant’s Termination Date, the Stock Option will be terminated on that date.  The unexercised portion of the Stock Option that relates to Optioned Shares which are vested will terminate at the first of the following to occur:

i.           5 p.m. on the date the Option Period terminates;

ii.           5 p.m. on the date which is twenty-four (24) months following the date of the Participant’s termination of service due to death;

iii.           5 p.m. on the date which is twelve (12) months following the date of the Participant’s termination of service due to disability;

iv.           5 p.m. on the date which is ninety (90) days following the date of the Participant’s termination of service by the Company without Cause (as defined below);

v.           5.p.m. on the date of the Participant’s termination of service for Cause (as defined below);

vi.           5 p.m. on the date which is thirty (30) days following the date of the Participant’s termination of service for any reason not otherwise specified in this Section 4.a. ;

vii.           5 p.m. on the date the Company causes any portion of the Stock Option to be forfeited pursuant to Section 7 hereof.

b.           For the purposes hereof, “ Cause ” shall exist if the Participant (i) breaches any of the material terms or conditions of his employment agreement, or agreement to provide services to the Group, including, without limitation, the breach of any duty of non-disclosure or non-competition; (ii) engages in willful misconduct or acts in bad faith with respect to any company in the Group in connection with his employment or other agreement with the Group; or (iii) is convicted of a criminal offence involving moral turpitude.

c.           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Participant is terminated for Cause, then all Optioned Shares (including vested Optioned Shares), whether exercisable or not on the date that the Group delivers to the Participant a termination notice, shall expire and may not be exercised, and the Shares covered by the Stock Options shall revert to the Plan.

5.            Who May Exercise .  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 3 and 4 above, during the lifetime of the Participant, the Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant, or by the Participant’s guardian or personal or legal representative.  If the Participant’s termination of service is due to his death prior to the dates specified in Section 4.a. hereof, and the Participant has not exercised the Stock Option as to the maximum number of vested Optioned Shares as set forth in Section 3 hereof as of the date of death, the following persons may exercise the exercisable portion of the Stock Option on behalf of the Participant at any time prior to the earliest of the dates specified in Section 4.a. hereof: the personal representative of his estate, or the person who acquired the right to exercise the Stock Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of the Participant; provided that the Stock Option shall remain subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Plan, and applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
 
 
-2-

 

 
6.            No Fractional Shares .  The Stock Option may be exercised only with respect to full shares, and no fractional Share shall be issued.

7.            Manner of Exercise .  Subject to such administrative regulations as the Administrator may from time to time adopt, the Stock Option may be exercised by the delivery of the Exercise Notice to the Company setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Option is to be exercised, the date of exercise thereof (the “ Exercise Date ”) which shall be at least three (3) days after giving such notice unless an earlier time shall have been mutually agreed upon.  On the Exercise Date, the Participant shall deliver to the Company consideration with a value equal to the total Exercise Price of the Shares to be purchased, payable as follows: cash, cashier’s check, or certified check payable to the order of the Company.

Upon payment of all amounts due from the Participant, the Company shall cause certificates for the Optioned Shares then being purchased to be delivered to the Participant (or the person exercising the Participant’s Stock Option in the event of his death) at its principal business office promptly after the Exercise Date.  The obligation of the Company to deliver Shares shall, however, be subject to the condition that if at any time the Company shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration, or qualification of the Stock Option or the Optioned Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the Stock Option or the issuance or purchase of Shares thereunder, then the Stock Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not reasonably acceptable to the Company.

If the Participant fails to pay for any of the Optioned Shares specified in such notice or fails to accept delivery thereof, then the Stock Option, and right to purchase such Optioned Shares may be forfeited by the Participant.

8.            Nonassignability .  The Stock Option is not assignable or transferable by the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

9.            Rights as Stockholder .  The Participant will have no rights as a stockholder   with respect to the Optioned Shares until the issuance of a certificate or certificates to the Participant or the registration of such shares in the Participant’s name for the Shares.  The Optioned Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 10 hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the issuance of such Shares.  The Participant, by his or her execution of this Agreement, agrees to execute any documents requested by the Company in connection with the issuance of the Shares.

10.            Adjustment of Number of Optioned Shares and Related Matters .  The number of Shares covered by the Stock Option, and the Exercise Prices thereof, shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 9 of the Umbrella Plan and Articles VII and VII of the U.S. Appendix.
 
 
-3-

 
 
11.            Nonqualified Stock Option .  The Stock Option shall not be treated as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code.

12.            Voting .  The Participant, as record holder of some or all of the Optioned Shares following exercise of this Stock Option, has the exclusive right to vote, or consent with respect to, such Optioned Shares until such time as the Optioned Shares are transferred in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section shall not create any voting right where the holders of such Optioned Shares otherwise have no such right.

13.            Specific Performance . The parties acknowledge that remedies at law will be inadequate remedies for breach of this Agreement and consequently agree that this Agreement shall be enforceable by specific performance.  The remedy of specific performance shall be cumulative of all of the rights and remedies at law or in equity of the parties under this Agreement.

14.            Participant’s Representations .  Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Participant hereby agrees that he will not exercise the Stock Option granted hereby, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any Shares to the Participant hereunder, if the exercise thereof or the issuance of such Shares shall constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority.  Any determination in this connection by the Company shall be final, binding, and conclusive.  The obligations of the Company and the rights of the Participant are subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

15.            Participant’s Acknowledgments .  The Participant acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available for his or her review by the Company, and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Stock Option subject to all the terms and provisions thereof.  The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive, and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator or the Board, as appropriate, upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement.

16.            Law Governing .  This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (excluding any conflict of laws rule or principle of Delaware law that might refer the governance, construction, or interpretation of this agreement to the laws of another state).

17.            No Right to Continue Service or Employment .  Nothing herein shall be construed to confer upon the Participant the right to continue in the employ or to provide services to the Company or the Group, whether as an employee or as a consultant or as an outside director, or interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company or the Group to discharge the Participant at any time.

18.            Legal Construction.   In the event that any one or more of the terms, provisions, or agreements that are contained in this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement shall not affect any other term, provision, or agreement that is contained in this Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement had never been contained herein.

19.            Covenants and Agreements as Independent Agreements . Each of the covenants and agreements that is set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as a covenant and agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement.  The existence of any claim or cause of action of the Participant against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and agreements that are set forth in this Agreement.

20.            Entire Agreement .  This Agreement together with the Plan supersede any and all other prior understandings and agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and constitute the sole and only agreements between the parties with respect to the said subject matter.  All prior negotiations and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof are merged into this Agreement.  Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any party or by anyone acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied in this Agreement or the Plan and that any agreement, statement or promise that is not contained in this Agreement or the Plan shall not be valid or binding or of any force or effect.

21.            Parties Bound .  The terms, provisions, and agreements that are contained in this Agreement shall apply to, be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, and permitted successors and assigns, subject to the limitation on assignment expressly set forth herein.

22.            Modification .  No change or modification of this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the parties unless the change or modification is in writing and signed by the parties; provided, however, that the Company may change or modify this Agreement without the Participant’s consent or signature if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such change or modification is necessary for purposes of compliance with or exemption from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or any regulations or other guidance issued thereunder.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Company may amend the Plan to the extent permitted by the Plan.

23.            Headings .  The headings that are used in this Agreement are used for reference and convenience purposes only and do not constitute substantive matters to be considered in construing the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(d)            Purchase for Investment .  Buyer is financially able to bear the economic risks of acquiring an interest in the Company and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and has no need for liquidity in this investment. Buyer has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in general, and with respect to businesses of a nature similar to the business of the Company, so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of, and making an informed business decision with regard to, the acquisition of the Shares. Buyer is acquiring the Shares solely for her own account and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution or public offering thereof, within the meaning of any applicable securities laws and regulations, unless such distribution or offering is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), or an exemption from such registration is available. Buyer has (i) received all the information she has deemed necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Shares, (ii) had an opportunity to make such investigation as she has desired pertaining to the Company and the acquisition of an interest therein, and to verify the information which is, and has been, made available to her and (iii) had the opportunity to ask questions of Seller concerning the Company. Buyer has received no public solicitation or advertisement with respect to the offer or sale of the Shares. Buyer realizes that the Shares are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, the resale of the Shares is restricted by federal and state securities laws and, accordingly, the Shares must be held indefinitely unless their resale is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available for their resale. Buyer understands that any resale of the Shares by her must be registered under the Securities Act (and any applicable state securities law) or be effected in circumstances that, in the opinion of counsel for the Company at the time, create an exemption or otherwise do not require registration under the Securities Act (or applicable state securities laws). Buyer acknowledges and consents that certificates now or hereafter issued for the Shares will bear a legend substantially as follows:
 
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS (THE “STATE ACTS”), HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND QUALIFICATION UNDER THE STATE ACTS OR PURSUANT TO EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF THE SECURITIES ACT, THE EXEMPTIONS AFFORDED BY SECTION 4(1) OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND RULE 144 THEREUNDER). AS A PRECONDITION TO ANY SUCH TRANSFER, THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES SHALL BE FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OPINING AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION AND/OR SUCH OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY BE SATISFACTORY THERETO THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER WILL NOT VIOLATE THE SECURITIES LAWS.
 
Buyer understands that the Shares are being sold to her pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(1) of the Securities Act and that Seller is relying upon the representations made herein as one of the bases for claiming the Section 4(1) exemption.
 
(e)            Liabilities .  Following the Closing, Seller will have no debts, liabilities or obligations relating to the Company or its business or activities, whether before or after the Closing, and there are no outstanding guaranties, performance or payment bonds, letters of credit or other contingent contractual obligations that have been undertaken by Seller directly or indirectly in relation to the Company or its business and that may survive the Closing.
 
 
- 3 -

 
 
(f)            Title to Purchase Price Shares .  Buyer is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Purchase Price Shares. At Closing, Buyer will have good and marketable title to the Purchase Price Shares, which Purchase Price Shares are, and at the Closing will be, free and clear of all Liens, and any restrictions or limitations prohibiting or restricting transfer to Seller, except for restrictions on transfer as contemplated by applicable securities laws.
 
5.            Indemnification and Release .
 
(a)            Indemnification . Buyer covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Seller, and its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents, representatives and Affiliates (collectively, together with Seller, the “ Seller Indemnified Parties ”) at all times from and after the date of this Agreement from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, adjustments, costs and expenses (including specifically, but without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation), whether or not involving a third party claim and regardless of any negligence of any Seller Indemnified Party (collectively, “ Losses ”), incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party as a result of or arising from (i) any breach of the representations and warranties of Buyer set forth herein or in certificates delivered in connection herewith, (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer under this Agreement, (iii) any debt, liability or obligation of the Company, whether incurred or arising prior to the date hereof or after, (iv) the conduct and operations of the business of the Company whether before or after the Closing, (v) claims asserted against the Company whether arising before or after the Closing, or (vi) any federal or state income tax payable by Seller and attributable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
(b)            Threshold; Limitations on Liability .
 
(i)           No Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for any Losses under Section 5(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses suffered, sustained, or incurred by all or any of the Seller Indemnified Parties that give rise to a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) exceeds $50,000, calculated on a cumulative basis and not on a per item basis (the “ Threshold Amount ”), at which time such Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified and compensated for all Losses or rights of indemnification pursuant to Section 5(a) and not only for Losses in excess of the Threshold Amount.
 
(ii)           The maximum aggregate liability (including attorney’s fees) of Buyer under Section 5(a) shall be limited to $100,000.
 
 
- 4 -

 
 
(c)            Third Party Claims .
 
(i)           If any claim or liability (a “ Third-Party Claim ”) should be asserted against any of the Seller Indemnified Parties (the “ Indemnitee ”) by a third party after the Closing for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 5(a), then the Indemnitee shall notify Buyer within 20 days after the Third-Party Claim is asserted by a third party (said notification being referred to as a “ Claim Notice ”) and give Buyer a reasonable opportunity to take part in any examination of the books and records of the Indemnitee relating to such Third-Party Claim and to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and in connection therewith and to conduct any proceedings or negotiations relating thereto and necessary or appropriate to defend the Indemnitee and/or settle the Third-Party Claim. The expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of all negotiations, proceedings, contests, lawsuits or settlements with respect to any Third-Party Claim shall be borne by Buyer. If Buyer agrees to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, through counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, then Buyer shall be entitled to control the conduct of such defense, and shall be responsible for any expenses of the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim so long as Buyer continues such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim. Buyer shall be responsible for paying all settlements made or judgments entered with respect to any Third-Party Claim the defense of which has been assumed by Buyer. Except as provided in subsection (ii) below, both Buyer and the Indemnitee must approve any settlement of a Third-Party Claim. A failure by the Indemnitee to timely give the Claim Notice shall not excuse Buyer from any indemnification liability except only to the extent that Buyer is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.
 
(ii)           If Buyer shall not agree to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, or shall fail to continue such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnitee may defend against such Third-Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate and the Indemnitee may settle such Third-Party Claim, in its sole discretion, on such terms as it may deem appropriate. Buyer shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the amount of all settlement payments and expenses, legal and otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim. If no settlement of such Third-Party Claim is made, then Buyer shall satisfy any judgment rendered with respect to such Third-Party Claim before the Indemnitee is required to do so, and pay all expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in the defense against such Third-Party Claim.
 
(d)            Non-Third-Party Claims . Upon discovery of any claim for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation under the terms of this Section 5 which does not involve a claim by a third party against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to Buyer of such claim and, in any case, shall give Buyer such notice within 30 days of such discovery. A failure by Indemnitee to timely give the foregoing notice to Buyer shall not excuse Buyer from any indemnification liability except to the extent that Buyer is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.

The Company agrees that following the Removal Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than seven Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend, together with any reasonable certifications requested by the Company, the Company’s counsel or the Transfer Agent (such seventh Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4. Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser if the Transfer Agent is then a participant in such system and either (i) there is an effective registration statement permitting the resale of such Securities by the Purchaser (and the Purchaser provides the Company or the Company’s counsel with any requested certifications with respect to future sales of such Securities) or (ii) the shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) of the Securities Act.

Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

4.4            Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity .  The Company shall file the Super 8-K, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto, with the Commission not later than the fourth Trading Day after the Closing Date.  From and after the filing of the Super 8-K, the Company represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  The Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except:  (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto) with the Commission, and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).

4.6            Use of Proceeds .  The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for the purposes set forth on Schedule 4.6 attached hereto, subject to general market conditions; provided, however, that the Company agrees to segregate the amounts set forth on Schedule 4.6 attached hereto for the purpose of (i) completing the Harvard Trials and (ii) the FDA Approvals; provided, further, that except as set forth on Schedule 4.6 , the Company shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), (b) for the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation, (d) in violation of the law, including FCPA or OFAC or (e) for the development of new products not substantially related to the Company’s current products in production or development as of the date hereof.

4.9         Listing of Common Stock . The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible.  The Company will then take all action necessary to continue the listing or quotation and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market until at least three years after the Closing Date and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market at least until three years after the Closing Date. The Company undertakes to obtain a listing of the Common Stock on a Trading Market other than the OTC Bulletin Board within 270 days after the Closing Date. Upon the attainment of such listing, the OTC Bulletin Board shall not thereafter be a Trading Market. In the event the Company fails to obtain such listing within 270 days after the Closing Date (a “Listing Default”), the Company shall promptly, but not later than the 280 th day after the Closing Date, issue and deliver to each Purchaser additional shares of Common Stock (“Additional Listing Shares”) in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Shares acquired by each such Purchaser on the Closing Date. The Additional Listing Shares will be deemed issued pursuant to this Agreement and the holder of the Additional Listing Shares is granted all of the rights and benefits of the Holder of the Shares.
 
4.10         Subsequent Equity Sales and Issuances .
 
(a)          From the date hereof until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction.  “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at a future determined price.  Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.

(b)             Until twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, the Company shall not increase the number of shares available for issue under the Stock Option Plan, amend the Stock Option Plan, reprice any outstanding stock options (except for appropriate adjustments for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction after the Closing Date), nor issue any options or shares under the Stock Option Plan in an aggregate amount in excess of an amount of shares equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the amount of Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Closing nor grant any options with an exercise price lower than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, except with respect to options that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are contractually obligated to issue on the date hereof at a lower price, which are described on Schedule 4.10 .

4.11          Equal Treatment of Purchasers .  No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
 
4.12          Form D; Blue Sky Filings .  The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.
 
4.13         Acknowledgment of Dilution .  The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions.  The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.

4.14            Purchase Price Reset . Until 36 months following the Closing Date (the “Protection Period”), in the event that the Company issues or sells any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalent pursuant to which shares of Common Stock may be acquired at a price less than the Per Share Purchase Price (adjusted as described in Section 5.22), then the Company shall promptly issue additional shares of Common Stock to each Purchaser, for no additional consideration, in an amount sufficient that the Per Share Purchase Price paid hereunder, when divided by the total number of Shares issued to each such Purchaser will result in an effective Per Share Purchase Price paid by each such Purchaser hereunder equal to the Per Share Purchase Price multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received or to be received by the Company for the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the Per Share Purchase Price; and (B) the denominator of which shall be (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus (y) the number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued (such adjustment, a “Dilution Adjustment”). Such Dilution Adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.14 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance. Moreover, in the event that the Company consummates a financing during the Protection Period pursuant to which the Company sells shares of Common Stock in one transaction or series of related transactions at a price per share greater than the Per Share Purchase Price (adjusted as described in Section 5.22) to one or more Persons (other than an Affiliate of the Company or any Subsidiary) that results in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of at least $5,000,000 and does not provide the investors in such financing with any price protection similar to that provided in this Section 4.14, this Section 4.14 shall become void and of no further effect and the Purchasers shall not be entitled to any future Dilution Adjustments hereunder.

4.15            Dilution Protection .  The Company agrees that in the event the Company issues any shares of Common Stock with regard to certain matters previously disclosed to the Purchasers (each, a “Contingency Issuance”), the Company shall immediately thereafter issue to each Purchaser such number of new shares of Common Stock (the “Contingency Shares”), for no additional consideration, as would cause the sum of (a) shares of Common Stock acquired hereunder by such Purchaser (the “Acquired Shares”) and (b) the Contingency Shares to represent the same percentage of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as the Acquired Shares represented immediately prior to such Contingency Issuance (assuming such Purchaser has not disposed of any Acquired Shares since the Closing). For instance, if a Purchaser originally acquired 100,000 shares of Common Stock hereunder, and the Company later did a Contingency Issuance of 50,000 shares of Common Stock at a time when (i) such Purchaser held only 75,000 shares of the 100,000 shares of Common Stock originally purchased hereunder and (ii) the Company had 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Contingency Issuance, the Company would issue such Purchaser an additional 4,055 shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4.15.

4.16            Registration Limitation .  Until the 12 month anniversary of the filing of the Super 8-K, the Company will not file a registration statement with the Commission nor any state securities administrator to cause the registration of any Common Stock held by any officer, director, or Affiliate of the Company, nor any holder of five percent (5%) or more of the Common Stock as of the Closing Date, nor in relation to any Common Stock owned by the foregoing or which they have a right to receive pursuant to the Exchange Agreement or otherwise, except in connection with a primary underwritten offering of the Company’s Common Stock, approved by the underwriters of such primary offering.

4.17            FDA and Harvard . The Company agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Harvard Trials and the FDA Approvals.

5.13          Rescission and Withdrawal Right .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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; provided, however, that in the case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).
 
 
-29-

 
 
5.14          Replacement of Securities .  If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction.  The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity and bonds) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
 
5.15          Remedies .  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.  The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
5.16          Payment Set Aside .  To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights 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, 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.
 
5.17          Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights .  The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereof or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.  Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.  For reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through GM.  GM does not represent any of the Purchasers and only represents Palladium Capital Advisors LLC.  The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers.

5.18          Liquidated Damages .  The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

5.19          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 not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
 
5.20          Construction . The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.
 
5.21          WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

5.22               Equitable Adjustment .  Warrant exercise price, amount of Additional Listing Shares and Warrant Shares, trading volume amounts, price/volume amounts and similar figures in the Transaction Documents shall be equitably adjusted to offset the effect of stock splits, similar events and as otherwise described in this Agreement and Warrants.  The purchase price of Shares, the exercise price of the Warrants and references to amounts of Common Stock in the Transaction Documents and Super 8-K give effect to a 2.75 for 1 forward split of the Common Stock effectuated immediately prior to the closing under the Exchange Agreement.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 [__________]
 
 
Warrant Shares: [_______]                                                                           Issue Date: [_____________], 2011
 
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “ Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received, [_______________] or its assigns (the “ Holder ”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after [the date hereof (the “ Initial Exercise Date ”) and on or prior to the close of business on the fifth anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “ Termination Date ”), except as set forth in Section 2(f) below, but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from InspireMD, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), up to  [_______________] shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “ Warrant Shares ”) of Common Stock.  The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
 
Section 1 .                       Definitions .  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), dated March 31, 2011, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.
 
 
 

 
 
Section 2 .                       Exercise .
 
a)            Exercise of Warrant .  Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise form annexed hereto. Within three (3) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise and the Warrant may be exercised by means of a cashless exercise at such time. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased in a cash exercise and by the number of Warrant Shares both purchased and surrendered in a cashless exercise, as provided in the formula set forth below in Section 2(c).  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares exercised and the date of such exercises. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within three (3) Business Day of receipt of such notice.   The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
 
b)            Exercise Price .  The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $1.80 , subject to adjustment hereunder (the “ Exercise Price ”).
 
c)            Cashless Exercise .  If at any time after the one year anniversary of the Issue Date, there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B)*(X)] by (A), where:
 
 
(A) =
the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;

 
(B) =
the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

 
(X) =
the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
 
 
2

 
 
 
d)
Mechanics of Exercise .
 
i.       Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise .  Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) if the Transfer Agent is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder (and the Holder provides the Company or the Company’s counsel with any reasonable requested certifications with respect to future sales of such Warrant Shares) or (B) the shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144 , and otherwise without volume or manner-of-sale restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is five (5) Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required), and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (including by cashless exercise, if permitted) (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise.
 
ii.           Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise .  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
 
iii.          Rescission Rights .  If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
 
 
3

 
 
iv.          Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise .  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss.  Nothing herein shall limit a 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 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
v.          No Fractional Shares or Scrip .  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
 
vi.          Charges, Taxes and Expenses .  Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided , however , that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
 
vii.          Closing of Books .  The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

e)            Holder’s Exercise Limitations .  The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within three (3) Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), in whole or in part, and if in part, the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply.  Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61 st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

f)            Termination Date Acceleration .  Subject to the provisions of Section 2(e) and this Section 2(f), if, while a registration statement filed with the Commission is effective registering for unrestricted public resale of Warrant Shares without volume or manner of sale restrictions (“ Effectiveness Period ”), (i) the VWAP for each of 20 consecutive Trading Days (the “ Measurement Period ,” which 20 consecutive Trading Day period shall occur during the Effectiveness Period) exceeds 250% of the then-effective Exercise Price, (ii) the average daily trading volume for such Measurement Period exceeds 175,000 shares of Common Stock per Trading Day (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like after the Initial Exercise Date) and (iii) the Holder is not in possession of any information that constitutes, or might constitute, material non-public information which was provided by the Company, then the Company may, within the 3 Trading Days following the end of such Measurement Period, accelerate the Termination Date of all or any portion of this Warrant for which a Notice of Exercise has not yet been delivered (such right, the “ Acceleration Right ”). To exercise this right, the Company must deliver to the Holder an irrevocable written notice (an “ Acceleration Notice ”), indicating therein the portion of unexercised portion of this Warrant to which such notice applies.  If the conditions set forth below for such Acceleration Right are satisfied from the period from the date of the Acceleration Notice through and including the Acceleration Date (as defined below), then any portion of this Warrant subject to such Acceleration Notice for which a Notice of Exercise shall not have been received by the Acceleration Date will be cancelled at 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh Trading Day after the date the Acceleration Notice is received by the Holder (such date and time, the “ Acceleration Date ”). Any unexercised portion of this Warrant to which the Acceleration Notice does not pertain will be unaffected by such Acceleration Notice. In furtherance thereof, the Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Exercise with respect to Warrant Shares subject to an Acceleration Notice that are tendered through 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Acceleration Date. The parties agree that any Notice of Exercise delivered following an Accelerated Notice which calls less than all the Warrants shall first reduce to zero the number of Warrant Shares subject to such Acceleration Notice prior to reducing the remaining Warrant Shares available for purchase under this Warrant.  For example, if (A) this Warrant then permits the Holder to acquire 100 Warrant Shares, (B) an Acceleration Notice pertains to 75 Warrant Shares, and (C) prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Acceleration Date the Holder tenders a Notice of Exercise in respect of 50 Warrant Shares, then (x) on the Acceleration Date the right under this Warrant to acquire 25 Warrant Shares will expire, (y) the Company, in the time and manner required under this Warrant, will have issued and delivered to the Holder 50 Warrant Shares in respect of the exercises following receipt of the Acceleration Notice, and (z) the Holder may, until the Termination Date, exercise this Warrant for 25 Warrant Shares (subject to adjustment as herein provided and subject to subsequent Acceleration Notices). Subject again to the provisions of this Section 2(f), the Company may deliver subsequent Acceleration Notices for any portion of this Warrant for which the Holder shall not have delivered a Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, the Company may not deliver an Acceleration Notice or cause an early termination of the right to acquire any Warrant Shares (and any such Acceleration Notice shall be void), unless, from the beginning of the Measurement Period through the Acceleration Date, (1) the Company shall have honored in accordance with the terms of this Warrant all Notices of Exercise delivered by 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Acceleration Date, and (2) the registration statement shall be effective as to all Warrant Shares, and (3) the Common Stock shall be listed or quoted for trading on a Trading Market other than the OTC Bulletin Board, and (4) there is a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance of all Securities under the Transaction Documents, and (5) the issuance of the shares shall not cause a breach of any provision of Section 2(e) herein. The Company’s Acceleration Right under this Section 2(f) shall be exercised ratably among the Holders based on each Holder’s initial purchase of Warrants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of calculating the Beneficial Ownership Limitation under Section 2(e) in order to determining whether or not the Company may exercise its Acceleration Right hereunder with respect to any Warrant Shares pursuant this Section 2(f), the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall be deemed to exclude any shares of Common Stock acquired by the Holder or any Affiliate of the Holder following the original Issue Date in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.

g)            Automatic Exercise .  To the extent this Warrant has not been previously fully exercised, it shall be deemed to have been automatically exercised in accordance with Section 2(c) hereof (even if not surrendered) as of immediately before its expiration on the fifth anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(e) hereof, if the then-VWAP of a Warrant Share exceeds the then-Exercise Price, unless the Holder notifies Company in writing to the contrary prior to such automatic exercise.
 
Section 3 .                       Certain Adjustments .
 
a)            Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b)            Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant).  For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (other than an all cash transaction) involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. “ Black Scholes Value ” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“ Bloomberg ”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume 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 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock 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 shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such 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), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

e)            Jurisdiction . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
 
f)            Restrictions .  The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise at a time when sales may be made under Rule 144 without restriction, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
 
g)            Nonwaiver and Expenses .  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date, including, without limitation, the right to exercise this Warrant. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

1.2.            Full Exercise .  This Warrant may be exercised in full, subject to Section 1.6 below, by the Holder hereof by delivery to the Company of an original or facsimile copy of the form of subscription attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “ Subscription Form ”) duly executed by such Holder and delivery within two days thereafter of payment, in cash, wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, in the amount obtained by multiplying the number of whole Common Shares for which this Warrant is then exercisable by the Purchase Price then in effect. The original Warrant is not required to be surrendered to the Company until it has been fully exercised.
 
1.3.            Partial Exercise .  This Warrant may be exercised in part (but not for a fractional share) by delivery of a Subscription Form in the manner and at the place provided in Section 1.2 , except that the amount payable by the Holder on such partial exercise shall be the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of whole Common Shares designated by the Holder in the Subscription Form by (b) the Purchase Price then in effect.  On any such partial exercise, provided the Holder has surrendered the original Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder hereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Holder hereof, the whole number of Common Shares for which such Warrant may still be exercised.
 
1.4.            Company Acknowledgment .  The Company will, at the time of the exercise of the Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder any rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.  If the Holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to such Holder any such rights.
 
1.5.            Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise .  The Company agrees that, provided the full purchase price listed in the Subscription Form is received as specified in Section 1.2 , the Common Shares purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which delivery of a Subscription Form shall have occurred and payment made for such shares as aforesaid.  As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within seven (7) calendar days thereafter (“ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”), the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, together with any other stock or other securities to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.  The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Warrant Shares after the Warrant Share Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder.  In the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Holder may revoke all or part of the relevant Warrant exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the exercise of the relevant portion of this Warrant.

Moreover, in order to enforce the foregoing clause, the Holder shall not be entitled to acquire more than 2/3 (two thirds) of the Warrant Shares originally issuable hereunder until following the Original Maturity Date.
 
2.            Exercise .  Payment upon exercise must be made at the option of the Holder either in cash, by wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to the applicable aggregate Purchase Price, for the number of Common Shares specified in such form (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Shares issuable to the holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Shares (or Other Securities) determined as provided herein.
 
3.            Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.
 
3.1.            Fundamental Transaction .  If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger or  consolidation  of the Company with or into another entity or (B) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “ Fundamental  Transaction ”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant, subject to the limitations set forth herein (the “ Alternate Consideration ”). The aggregate Purchaser Price for this Warrant will not be affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate Purchase Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration.  The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this  Section 3.1 and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.  The Merger is a Fundamental Transaction.  The Company shall give the Holder not less than fifteen (15) Business Days notice prior to any Fundamental Transaction (“Fundamental Transaction Notice”).  The failure to timely give a Fundamental Transaction Notice shall extend any rights of the Holder pursuant to this Warrant until fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of a Fundamental Transaction Notice.

4.            Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Shares .  In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional Common Shares as a dividend or other distribution of its assets on outstanding Common Shares, (b) subdivide its outstanding Common Shares, or (c) combine its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares, then, in each such event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4 .  The number of Common Shares that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of Common Shares that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4 ) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4 ) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.
 
5.            Certificate as to Adjustments .  In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the Common Shares (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional Common Shares (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of Common Shares (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price and the number of Common Shares to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant..  The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of the Warrant and any Warrant Agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).
 
6.            Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant; Financial Statements .  The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrants, all Common Shares (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant.  This Warrant entitles the Holder hereof, upon written request, to receive copies of all financial and other information distributed or required to be distributed to the holders of the Company's Common Shares.
 
7.            Assignment; Exchange of Warrant .  Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and the Company’s Articles of Association, as may be amended from time, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a “ Transferor ”).  On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor's endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “ Transferor Endorsement Form ”) and together with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the transfer of this Warrant will be in compliance with applicable securities laws and the Company's Articles of Association, as may be amended from time to time, the Company will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a “ Transferee ”), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of Common Shares called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.

8.            Replacement of Warrant .  On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense, twice only, will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
 
9.            Maximum Exercise .  The Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this Warrant on an exercise date and the Company may not call this Warrant pursuant to Section 10, in connection with that number of Common Shares which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on an exercise or call date, and (ii) the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this limitation is being made on an exercise date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding Common Shares on such date.  For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder.  Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to aggregate exercises which would result in the issuance of more than 9.99%.  The Company shall have no obligation to determine whether the Holder may exercise this Warrant with respect to the limitations set forth in this paragraph and each delivery of a Subscription Form hereunder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined that issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in such Subscription Form is permitted under this paragraph.
 
10.            Mandatory Conversion .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may, at any time, or from time to time, require the Holder, upon not less than fifteen (15) trading days  prior written notice, to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part in the event (i) the Company’s Common Shares shall be listed for trading on a Principal Market, (ii) the closing sales price for fifteen (15) consecutive trading days was at least 165% of the Purchase Price, (iii) the average daily trading volume of the Common Shares on the Principal Market, as reported by Bloomberg L.P., was not less than 150,000 shares for fifteen (15) consecutive trading days and (iv) there is an effective registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares.

12.            Transfer on the Company's Books .  Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
 
13.            Registration Rights .  The Holder of this Warrant will be granted the same registration rights granted to investors in the Reverse Merger Financing as defined in the Share Exchange Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided in the Company's articles of association, as shall be amended from time to time, regarding restrictions on transferability of the Company's shares and other securities, the Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties.  Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith.  Further, subject to the aforesaid, no notice shall be required of such pledge.  At the Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.

4.2            Merger and PIPE Financing .  The Company has not, and hereby covenants that from and after the Closing Date, and until the later of (i) 90 days following receipt of a favorable Tax Ruling and (ii) 45 days following the delivery to the Purchasers of the Audited Financial Statements (the “ Exclusivity Period ”), the Company will not incur any indebtedness or Liens except with respect to bank loans or bank credit lines or in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices.

4.3            Integration .  From and after the Closing Date, and until expiration of the Exclusivity Period, the Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities to the Purchasers in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers, nor enter into any purchase, sale, merger or business combination transaction pursuant to which the business of another Person is combined with that of the Company, in whatever form, or enter into any other agreement or series of related agreements (including, without limitation, joint venture, sale of assets, license agreement, distribution agreement, etc.) or enter into any other transaction that would preclude the consummation of the PIPE Financing and the closing of the Merger, without the prior written consent of the Advisor and the holders of a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Debentures.
 
4.4  Conversion .  The Debentures set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to convert the Debentures into Ordinary Shares or other securities in connection with the Merger, as the case may be.  Subject to US securities laws, no additional legal opinion or other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to convert their Debentures.  The Company shall honor conversions of the Debentures and shall deliver Underlying Securities in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents and Merger Agreement.
 
4.5  Publicity .  The Company and the Advisor shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Advisor shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of Advisor or Purchaser, or without the prior consent of the Advisor, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.  

4.6  Use of Proceeds .  The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes.
 
 
15

 
 
4.7  Indemnification of Purchasers .  Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.7, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and their directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, stockholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling person (each, a “ Purchaser Party ”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Purchaser Party in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of the Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings the Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by the Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance).  If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party.  Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel.  The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any (x) of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents; or (y) agreement, understanding or arrangement with any third party.

4.8            Equal Treatment of Purchasers .  No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents.  Further, the Company shall not make any payment of principal or interest on the Debentures in amounts which are disproportionate to the respective principal amounts outstanding on the Debentures at any applicable time.  For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to the Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by the Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
 
 
16

 
 
4.9  Form D; Blue Sky Filings .  The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to the Purchaser upon filing.  The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

4.10            Preservation of Corporate Existence .  The Company shall preserve and maintain its corporate existence, rights, privileges and franchises in the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and qualify and remain qualified, as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is necessary in view of its business or operations and where the failure to qualify or remain qualified might reasonably have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.11            Tax Ruling .  The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to expeditiously obtain a ruling on behalf of its shareholders and option holders (the “ Tax Ruling ”) from the Israeli Tax Authority that the issuance of Pubco securities in exchange for Company securities held by Company shareholders and option holders upon the closing of the Merger shall constitute a deferred tax event for the Company and/or its shareholders and option holders and shall not obligate them to pay any amounts prior to receiving actual funds resulting from sale of Pubco's securities as a result of such exchange.

4.12            Bankruptcy .  Purchasers agree that they shall not initiate an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding or insolvency proceeding against the Company by virtue of the Company’s failure to satisfy its non-payment of Debenture principal or interest or a money judgment obtained in connection with the non-payment of Debenture principal or interest.

4.13            Merger Approval .  The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of its shareholders to the Merger. Provided that Ofir Paz and Asher Holzer vote their Ordinary Shares in favor of the Merger, it shall not be a default by Company or an Event of Default as defined in the Debenture if fewer than 80% of Company’s shareholders do not approve the Merger, in which case, the Company may elect not to close the Merger and in such case the Purchasers or anyone acting on their behalf shall not have any demand, claim or right against the Company, its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, advisors and representatives as a result of the failure to obtain such approval.

4.14            Audits .  The Company undertakes to obtain audits of its financial statements sufficient to be filed with the Commission on a Form 10 (the “ Audited Financial Statements ”) no later than the later of: (i) six (6) months following the Closing; or (ii) two (2) months after the receipt of a favorable Tax Ruling. Failure to timely obtain such audits shall be an “ Audit Default .”

4.15            Access to Records .  From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default and until the time the Company becomes subject to the reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, the Company shall furnish to each Purchaser that holds Securities, or any of its duly authorized representatives, attorneys or accountants reasonable access to any and all records at the premises of the Company where such records are kept, such access being afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request stating the purpose of such request and during normal business hours.  Each such Purchaser making such request agrees to request to execute a confidentiality agreement or similar document reasonably requested by the Company.
 
 
17

 
 
4.16            Articles of Association .  The Company undertakes that it will not amend its Articles of Association if such amendment would materially impair the rights of the Purchasers as holders of the Warrants.

5.6            Headings .  The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
 
5.7            Successors and Assigns .  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.  As long as the Debentures have not been converted or repaid, the Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of a Majority in Interest of the Purchasers, except in connection with the Merger.  Except as otherwise provided in the Company's articles of association, as shall be amended from time to time, regarding restrictions on transferability of the Company's shares and other securities, any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”
  
5.8            No Third-Party Beneficiaries .  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.7.

20

 
 
5.11            Execution .  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
 
5.12            Severability .  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
 
5.13            Rescission and Withdrawal Right .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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.
 
5.14            Replacement of Securities .  If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction.  The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
 
5.15            Remedies .  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.  The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

5.16            Payment Set Aside .  To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights 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, 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.
 
 
21

 
 
5.17            Usury .  To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “ Maximum Rate ”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate.  It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law.  If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.
 
5.18            Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights .  The obligations of the Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.  Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.  The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers.
 
 
22

 
 
5.19            Fridays, 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 not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
 
5.20            Construction .  The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.
 
5.21            WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL .  IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

You shall promptly notify the Company of any legal proceedings initiated against you and of all possible or threatened legal proceedings without delay following your first becoming aware thereof, however, your failure to notify the Company as foresaid shall not derogate from your right to be indemnified as provided herein except and to the extent that such failure to provide notice materially and adversely prejudices the Company’s ability to defend against such action.

However, the aforesaid will not prevent the Company and/or its attorney as aforesaid, with the approval of the Company, coming to a financial arrangement with a plaintiff in a civil proceeding without your consent so long as such arrangement will not be an admittance of an occurrence not indemnifiable pursuant to this Letter of Indemnification and/or pursuant to law, and further provided that any such settlement or arrangement does not impose on you any liability or limitation.           Irrespective of the foregoing, in the event that the D&O insurance policy shall apply on the matter and to the extent that its referral to its attorney enables the insurer to be released from its liability or to reduce it, the Company shall act in accordance with the policy with regard to the identity of attorney. In such event, the provisions of the policy shall prevail in such matter over any agreement between any director and/or officer and the Company, however the Company shall make reasonable efforts, to the extent possible within the scope of the policy, to consider the position of the director and/or an officer.

9.5
The Company will have no liability or obligation pursuant to this Letter of Indemnification or the above resolutions to indemnify you for any amount expended by you pursuant to any compromise or settlement agreement reached in any suit, demand or other proceeding as aforesaid without the Company’s consent to such compromise or settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
 
 
10.
The Company hereby exempts you, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from any liability for damages caused as a result of a breach of your duty of care to the Company, provided that in no event shall you be exempt with respect to any actions and/or circumstances according to which exemption is prohibited under the Companies Law.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the shareholders of
InspireMD Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of InspireMD Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity (capital deficiency) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s Board of Directors and management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Company’s board of directors and management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of their operations, changes in equity (capital deficiency) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

  Management of the Company   is in the opinion that as a result of the consummation of the reverse merger   transaction described in note 15.f, the Company has sufficient cash to   continue its operations into 2012. However, depending on the operating   results in 2011, the Company may need to obtain additional cash in 2012   to continue to fund operations .
 
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 
 
a.
Accounting principles

 
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”).
 
 
b.
Use of estimates

 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 
As applicable to these consolidated financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to revenue recognition including provision for returns, legal contingencies, estimation of the fair value of share-based compensation and estimation of the fair value of a convertible loan.

 
c. 
Functional currency
 
 
The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its subsidiary are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“$” or “dollar”).  Accordingly, the functional currency of the Company and of the subsidiary is the dollar.
 
The dollar figures are determined as follows: transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented in their original amounts.  Balances in foreign currencies are translated into dollars using historical and current exchange rates for non-monetary and monetary balances, respectively. The resulting translation gains or losses are recorded as financial income or expense, as appropriate. For transactions reflected in the statements of operations in foreign currencies, the exchange rates at transaction dates are used. Depreciation and changes in inventories and other changes deriving from non-monetary items are based on historical exchange rates.

Principles of consolidation
 
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and of its Subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances, have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 
e.
Cash and cash equivalents

 
The Group considers all highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits (up to three months from date of deposit) that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use to be cash equivalents.

 
f. 
Restricted cash

 
The Company maintains certain cash amounts restricted as to withdrawal or use, related mainly to long-term loan, see note 7. The restricted cash are denominated in U.S. dollars and NIS.

 
g.
Fair value measurement:
 
 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 
In determining fair value, the Group uses various valuation approaches, including market, income and/or cost approaches. Hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Group’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs.

 
 
h. 
Concentration of credit risk and allowance for doubtful accounts
 
 
Financial instruments that may potentially subject the Group to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash which are deposited in major financial institutions in Germany and Israel, and trade accounts receivable. The Group’s trade accounts receivable are derived from revenues earned from customers from various counties. The Group performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers. The Group also has a credit insurance policy for part of its customers. The Group maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon the expected ability to collect the accounts receivable. The Group reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts quarterly by assessing individual accounts receivable and all other balances based on historical collection experience and an economic risk assessment. If the Group determines that a specific customer is unable to meet its financial obligations to the Group, the Group provides an allowance for credit losses to reduce the receivable to the amount management reasonably believes will be collected. To mitigate risks the Group deposits cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions.
 
Provisions for doubtful debts are netted against “Accounts receivable-trade.”

Inventory

Inventories include finished goods, work in process and raw materials. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (cost is determined on a “first-in, first-out” basis) or market value.
In respect to inventory on consignment, see note 2(l).

 
j.
Property, plant and equipment
 
 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets: over three years for computers and other electronic equipment, five years for vehicles and seven to fifteen years for office furniture and equipment, and machinery and equipment (mainly seven years). Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which is shorter than the estimated life of the improvements.

 
k. 
Impairment of long-lived assets
 
The Group reviews all long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the long-lived assets is less than the carrying amount of such assets, an impairment loss would be recognized, and the assets would be written down to their estimated fair values.

To date, the Group has not recorded any impairment charges relating to its long-lived assets.

 
l.
Revenue recognition

 
Revenue is recognized when delivery has occurred, evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risks and rewards for the products are transferred to the customer, collection is reasonably assured and when product returns can be reliably estimated. When product returns can be reliably estimated a provision is recorded, based on historical experience, and deducted from sales. The provision for sales returns and related costs are included in “Accounts payable and accruals - Other” under “current liabilities", and "Inventory on consignment", respectively.

 
When returns cannot be reliably estimated, both revenues and related direct costs are eliminated, as the products are deemed unsold. Accordingly, both related revenues and costs are deferred, and presented under "Deferred revenues" and "Inventory on consignment", respectively.

The Group recognizes revenue net of value added tax (VAT).

n.
Share-based compensation

Employees option awards are classified as equity awards and accounted for using the grant-date fair value method. The fair value of share-based awards is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company estimates forfeitures based on historical experience and anticipated future conditions.
 
The Company elected to recognize compensation expensed for awards with only service conditions that have graded vesting schedules using the accelerated multiple option approach.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to third party service providers (non-employees), by recording the fair value of the options granted using an option pricing model, at each reporting period, until rewards is vested in full. The expense is recognized over the vesting period using the accelerated multiple option approach. The expense relates to options granted to third parties service providers in respect of potential investor's introduction services to the Company in which the Company entered into an agreement with the investor (hereafter-Finder's services) is recorded at its fair value in Equity, as issuance costs.

 
o.
Uncertain tax positions

The Company follows a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Such liabilities are classified as long-term, unless the liability is expected to be resolved within twelve months from the balance sheet date. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within financial expenses.

 
p. 
Deferred Income taxes

Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the “asset and liability” method based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws, and on tax rates anticipated to be in effect when the deferred taxes are expected to be paid or realized. Valuation allowance is provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is “more likely than not” that a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has established a valuation allowance against certain of its deferred tax assets because management believes that after considering all of the available evidence, historical and prospective, it is not more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will be realized within their recovery periods.

 
The Company may incur additional tax liability in the event of intercompany dividend distributions by its subsidiary. Such additional tax liability in respect of this non-Israeli subsidiary has not been provided for in these financial statements as it is the Company’s policy permanently to reinvest the subsidiary's earnings and to consider distributing dividends only when this can be facilitated in connection with a specific tax opportunity that may arise.

Taxes which would apply in the event of disposal of investments in non-Israeli subsidiary have not been taken into account in computing the deferred taxes, as it is the Company’s intention to hold, and not to realize, this investment.

Advertising
 
 
Cost related to advertising and promotion of products is charged to sales and marketing expense as incurred. Advertising expenses for the end of the years 2009 and 2010 were $275 and $467 thousands, respectively.

 
r. 
Net loss per share
 
Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. The calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes potential ordinary shares as the effect is anti-dilutive. Potential ordinary shares are comprised of incremental ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of share options, warrants or convertible loan.

 
For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 all outstanding options, warrants and convertible loan have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per share since their effect was anti-dilutive. The total number of ordinary shares related to outstanding options and convertible loan excluded from the calculations of diluted loss per share were 1,170,773 and 724,164 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Newly issued accounting pronouncements
 
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition. These amendments, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 (early adoption is permitted), modify the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and require companies to develop a best estimate of the selling price to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. Additionally, the amendments eliminate the residual method for allocating arrangement considerations. The Company does not expect the standard to have material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 
In January 2010, the FASB updated the “Fair Value Measurements Disclosures”. More specifically, this update will require (a) an entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers; and (b) information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements to be presented separately (i.e. present the activity on a gross basis rather than net) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). This update clarifies existing disclosure requirements for the level of disaggregation used for classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and require disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. This will become effective as of the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll forward information, which is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim reporting periods within those years. The adoption of the new guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Factoring of receivables
  
 
During 2010, the Company factored some of its trade receivables. The factoring was executed through banking institution on a recourse basis, and through other non-banking institute on a non-recourse basis. As of December 31, 2010 the Company did not have financial assets relates to such transaction.
  
 
The resulting costs were charged to “financial expenses-net”.
    
NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE MEASURMENT
    
 
a.
The Company measures fair value and discloses fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The accounting standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

 
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use        of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

Convertible loan was initially recorded at fair value of $1,133, then subsequently remeasured at fair value with the decrease in fair value of $89 included in the profit or loss as of December 31, 2010. This security is measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified in the "Significant Unobservable inputs (Level 3)" category.

 
b.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities approximate their fair value either because these amounts are presented at fair value or due to the relatively short-term maturities of such instruments. The carrying amount of the Group’s other financial long-term assets and other financial long-term liabilities approximate their fair value.

Israeli labor law generally requires payment of severance pay upon dismissal of an employee or upon termination of employment in certain other circumstances.

 
Pursuant to section 14 of the Israeli Severance Compensation Act, 1963, some of the Company's employees are entitled to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, made in their name with insurance companies. Payments in accordance with section 14 relieve the Company from any future severance payments in respect of those employees.

 
 The severance pay liability of the Company to the rest of its employees, which reflects the undiscounted amount of the liability, is based upon the number of years of service and the latest monthly salary, and is partly covered by insurance policies and by regular deposits with recognized severance pay funds. The Company may only make withdrawals from the amounts funded for the purpose of paying severance pay. The severance pay expenses (income) were $14 thousands and $(7) thousands in the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Gain on amounts funded in respect of employee rights upon retirement totaled to $11 thousands and $10 thousands for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 
The Company expects to contribute approximately $195 thousands in 2011 to the pension funds and insurance companies in respect of its severance and pension pay obligations.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE LOAN AND REVERSE MERGER AGREEMENTS

At the beginning of 2010, the Company started a process of undergoing a reverse merger transaction into a US public shell company (the "Shell"). In July 2010 The Company entered into an agreement with an investment bank (the "Investment Bank") on a best effort basis to act as an agent in connection with (i) the issuance of convertible debentures ("Convertible Debenture Transaction") to certain investors in the aggregate amount of $1.58 million (the "Debentures") and 125,000 warrants which will be allocated to each investor pro rata to the principal amount of the debenture purchased by such investor as compared to the aggregate principal amount of all Debentures issued in the offering ("the Warrants") and (ii) the sale of at least $7.5 million and up to $10 million (after deducting $1.58 million and any accrued interest as of the transaction date to be repaid to investors in a Convertible debenture Transaction) of equity or equity linked securities of the Shell to a limited number of investors (the “Private Placement”).

The convertible debentures and the Warrants in total amount of $1.58 million were issued on July 22, 2010. The Debentures bear annual interest of 8% and are payable upon the later of (i) two months subsequent to the Borrower's receipt of a tax ruling or (ii) six months from issuance date of the Debentures (the "Original Maturity Date"). Provided an Event of Default (as stipulated in the agreement) has not occurred before the Original Maturity Date, then the borrower shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to extend the maturity date until nine months after the Original Maturity Date (the "Second Maturity Date"). An Event of Default includes, inter alia, breach of covenants (as stipulated in the agreement), breach of standard representations and warranties, obtaining an unfavorable tax ruling, Merger and bankruptcy (as stipulated in the agreement).

Provided that neither an Event of Default nor an execution of the Private Placement have occurred prior to the Second Maturity Date, the Debenture shall be converted into Company's equity (or in the event of a successful execution of the Private Placement the Convertible debenture shall be converted to the Shell's equity) at predefined conversion ratios.

As indicated above, the holders of the Debentures, shall, at their option, have the right to demand immediate payment of both principal and interest then remaining unpaid upon the occurrence of Event of Default or upon the execution of the Private Placement prior to the Second Maturity Date.

If the Debentures are repaid to by the Company upon execution of the Private Placement, the Investment Bank will be obligated to raise such amounts to be repaid in addition to the minimum net amount of $7.5 million as indicated above.

The warrants conditions are as follows:
-       Exercise price of $10 per warrant.
-       Expiration term of 3 years.
-       In the event the company has not completed a reverse merger before the original maturity date, third of the warrants shall expire immediately.

The Company has elected to apply regarding the debentures the fair value option in accordance with Topic 825 (i.e. the Debenture  will be measured at each balance sheet date at fair value and the changes in its fair value will be recorded in profit and loss).
The proceeds from the issuance were allocated to the debentures at their fair value with the residual proceeds ascribed to the warrants as follows:
 
Debenture at fair value - $1,133 thousands.
Warrants - $447 thousands, net of $23 thousands direct transaction costs.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE LOAN AND REVERSE MERGER AGREEMENTS

The issuance of warrants was recorded in the additional paid-in capital, net of $23 thousands direct transaction costs allocated to the warrants.
The Company adjusted the value of the Debenture to fair value at December 31, 2010 and recorded the decrease in the value of $89 thousand as a gain included in Financial Income in the year ended December 31, 2010.

On December 29, 2010 the Company entered into a reverse merger agreement (the "agreement") with an American shell company named Saguaro Resource Inc (the "Shell").

The reverse merger will be executed by share exchange between the Company's shareholders, in way that  the Company's shareholders who  represents at least 80% of the Company's shares, shall transfer their shares free and clear of all liens, in exchange of the Shell's shares in an exchange ratio of at least 6.67 shares of the shell for every Company's share. The final exchange ratio will be agreed upon the closing of the transaction.

The closing of the transactions contemplated under the agreement (the "transactions")  is subject to and conditioned upon investors irrevocably (i) committing to purchase such number of shares of Shell shares, on terms acceptable to the Company, that would result in an aggregate net proceeds to the Shell of at least $7,500,000 (the “Private Placement”) (excluding (i) all fees payable to brokers and any other third party, including the Company’s legal counsel in connection with the Private Placement and the Transactions; and (ii) the conversion of the Convertible Debentures (see note 5(a)) in the aggregate original principal amount of $1,580,000, together with any interest accrued thereon), and shall have placed such funds in escrow to be automatically released into the Shell’s bank account upon consummation of the Transactions. The closing is subject to a previous wide disclosure of all parties including the Company, the Company's shareholders and the Shell, and several additional conditions as stipulated in the agreement.

The closing of the reverse merger and the private placement were completed on March 31, 2011, see also note 15f.
 
NOTE 7 - 2008 CONVERTIBLE LOAN

In April 2008 (hereafter - Closing date) the Company signed a convertible loan agreement with certain lenders. Under this agreement the lenders shall provide a convertible loan at an aggregated amount of $720 thousands, bearing annual interest of 10%. The loan does not bear a maturity date.

The principal of the loan together with the accrued interest should be paid on the lender’s demand in any event of default or breach of covenant as stipulated in the convertible loan agreement.

The loan will be automatically converted into ordinary shares of the Company in the event of investment in the Company in an aggregate amount of $1 million (hereafter - qualified financing), at the lower conversion price of:
a) $12; or b) at a discount of 30% on the price per share in such qualified financing.

NOTE 7 - 2008 CONVERTIBLE LOAN

The loan will be automatically converted into ordinary shares in the event of an Initial Public Offering (hereafter – IPO) or in the event of consolidation, merger or sale of all assets or shares the Company (hereafter - exit transaction), in the lowest conversion price of: a) $12; or b) at a discount of 20% on the price per share in such exit transaction.

The loan and the accumulated interest may be converted to ordinary shares of the Company at any time prior to the event of qualified financing, according to the conversion terms in the event of qualified financing.

In accordance with ASC 470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options", the Company determined that a beneficial conversion feature existed at the Closing date, totaling $308 thousands. Because the Convertible loan do not have a stated redemption date (except on event of default or breach of covenant), and may be converted by the holder at any time, the beneficial conversion feature was recognized immediately at the closing date as a financial expense, in the consolidated statements of operations.

In March 2009 ("the Redemption Date") the convertible loan was fully repaid (principal and accrued interest) to the lenders due to breach of the covenants by the Company. The Company allocated the proceeds paid between the portion related to the redemption of the beneficial conversion feature and that related to the convertible loan, based on the guidance stipulated in ASC 470-20. The Company measured the portion allocated to the beneficial conversion feature based on the intrinsic value of the conversion feature at the extinguishment date, which amounting to $308 thousands (which equals the original beneficial conversion feature since the price of the Company's shares, from Closing date to Redemption date, were the same). Accordingly, the difference between the amount allocated to the beneficial conversion feature plus the loan's carrying amount, and the cash paid, was recognized as financial income in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
NOTE 8 - LONG-TERM LOAN

In January, 2009 the Company signed a loan agreement with Mizrahi Tefahot Bank (hereafter- the bank).

According to the agreement the Company will be entitled to receive the following:

IPO in which the Company's valuation is at least $100 million.

The Company granted to the bank a floating lien of all of its assets and a fixed lien of all its intellectual property and rights of future payments from the company’s clients. The Company also committed to maintain in its bank account a minimum of $250 thousands. This amount was recorded in the consolidated balance sheet under "restricted cash". In November 2010 the Company was asked to grant an additional fixed lien to the bank in the amount of $300 thousands. The Company agreed to grant an additional fixed lien but as of December 31, 2010 the additional fixed lien was not yet recorded.

On February 2009 the Company received the first loan and according to the loan agreement issued 28,932 ordinary shares to the bank. Subsequently, the Company has estimated the fair value of the first loan, the second loan, the credit line and the 28,932 ordinary shares issued to the bank using the following assumptions:

 
1.
Capitalization rate of 25.13% per year calculated by using Altman-Z score model.
 
2.
Probability of realizing the second loan - 40%
 
3.
Probability of realizing the credit line - 80%

The relative fair value of each component based on the valuation report is as follows:

 
1.
The first loan - $540 thousands.
 
2.
The second loan option - $20 thousands.
 
3.
The credit line - $59 thousands.
 
4.
The 28,932 ordinary shares issued to the bank - $290 thousands

 
The first loan was subsequently measured at amortized cost on the basis of the effective interest method over the loan period.
The second loan option and the credit line have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements in "financial expenses" during 2009.

Direct transaction costs of $41 thousands are recorded as deferred debt issuance costs in the consolidated balance sheet and amortized over the first loan period.

NOTE 11 - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION:

 
a.
In June 2006, the Company’s board of directors approved a stock options plan (the “2006 plan”) for employees and consultants. The Company had reserved 300,000 ordinary shares for issuance under the plan. The Company’s Board of Directors selected the capital gains tax track for options granted to the Company’s Israeli employees.

In accordance with the track chosen by the company and pursuant to the terms thereof, the company is not allowed to claim, as an expense for tax purposes, the amounts credited to employees as a benefit, including amounts recorded as salary benefits in the company’s accounts, in respect of options granted to employees under the Plan - with the exception of the work-income benefit component, if any, determined on the grant date.

 
b.
Each option of the 2006 plan can be exercised to purchase one ordinary share of NIS 0.01 par value of the Company. Upon exercise of the option and issuance of ordinary shares, the ordinary shares issued will confer the holders the same rights as the other ordinary shares. The exercise price and the vesting period of the options granted under the plans were determined by the Board of Directors at the time of the grant. Any option not exercised within 10 years from the date of grant will expire, unless extended by the Board of Directors.

 
c.
In 2006, the Company’s board of directors approved an increase of 300,000 in the number of ordinary shares reserved for purpose of grants under the Company's share option plans.

 
1)
In 2007, the Company’s board of directors approved an additional increase of 600,000 in the number of ordinary shares reserved for purpose of grants under the Company's share option plans.

 
2)
As of December 31, 2010 the Company's board of directors approved the grant of additional 75,202 options to employees and consultants of the company. The options agreements for those grants were not yet signed and therefore were not granted.

The weighted average of the remaining contractual life of total vested and exercisable options for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 is 7.04 and 6.65 years, respectively.

Aggregate intrinsic value of the total outstanding options as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 is $5,854 thousands and $5,084 thousands respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of the total exercisable options as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 is $4,942 thousands and $4,802 thousands, respectively.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2009 was $565 thousand respectively. No options were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2010.

The total cash received from employees as a result of employee stock option exercises for the years ended December 31, 2009 was less than $1 thousands.

The weighted average fair value of options granted was approximately $6.67 and $7.8 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The weighted average fair value of options granted was estimated by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The expected term for most of the options granted was determined using the simplified method, which takes into consideration the option’s contractual life and the vesting periods (for non-employees the expected term is equal to the option’s contractual life). The Company continued to use the simplified method in 2010 as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The expected term for options granted that do not meet the conditions of the simplified method was determined according to management's best estimates. The Company estimates its forfeiture rate based on its employment termination history, and will continue to evaluate the adequacy of the forfeiture rate based on analysis of employee turnover behavior, and other factors (for non-employees the forfeiture rate is nil). The annual risk free rates are based on the yield rates of zero coupon non-index linked U.S. Federal Reserve treasury bonds as both the exercise price and the share price are in U.S. Dollar terms.  The Company’s expected volatility is derived from historical volatilities of companies in comparable stages as well as companies in the industry. Each Company’s historical volatility is weighted based on certain factors and combined to produce a single volatility factor used by the Company .

1)
Reduced tax rates:
 
 
Income derived from the “approved enterprise” is tax exempt for a period of 2 years, not later than 12 years as of December 31, 2007, after which the income will be taxable at the rate of 25% for 5 years.
 
 
In the event of distribution of cash dividends from income which was tax exempt as above, the tax rate applicable to the amount distributed will be 25%.
 
 
2)
Accelerated depreciation:
 
 
The Company is entitled to claim accelerated depreciation for five tax years in respect of machinery and equipment used by the approved enterprise.
 
 
3)
Conditions for entitlement to the benefits:
 
 
The entitlement to the above benefits is conditional upon the Company’s fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the law, regulations published there under and the instruments of approval for the specific investments in approved enterprises. In the event of failure to comply with these conditions, the benefits may be cancelled and the Company may be required to refund the amount of the benefits, in whole or in part, with the addition of linkage differences and interest.

NOTE 12 - TAXES ON INCOME (continued):

Amendment of the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959
 
The Law for Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (hereafter - the law) was amended as part of the Economic Policy Law for the years 2011-2012, which was passed in the Knesset (the Israeli parliament) on December 29, 2010 (hereafter - the amendment). The amendment becomes effective as from January 1, 2011.
 
The amendment sets alternative benefit tracks to the ones currently in place under the provisions of the Law, as follows: investment grants track designed for enterprises located in national development zone A and two new tax benefits tracks (preferred enterprise and a special preferred enterprise), which provide for application of a unified tax rate to all preferred income of the company, as defined in the amendment.
 
 
The tax rates at company level, under the law:

"Preferred enterprise"
       
2011-2012

12.5%
2015 and thereafter
 
6%
 
12%
"Special Preferred Enterprise" commencing 2011
 
5%
 
8%
 
The benefits granted to the preferred enterprises will be unlimited in time, unlike the benefits granted to special preferred enterprises, which will be limited for a period of 10 years. The benefits shall be granted to companies that will qualify under criteria set in the amendment; for the most part, those criteria are similar to the criteria that were set in the law prior to its amendment.
 
Under the transitional provisions of the amendment, a company will be allowed to continue and enjoy the tax benefits available under the law prior to its amendment until the end of the period of benefits, as defined in the law. The company will be allowed to set the "year of election" no later than tax year 2012, provided that the minimum qualifying investment commenced not later than the end of 2010.  On each year during the period of benefits, the company will be able to opt for application of the amendment, thereby making available to itself the tax rates as above. Company's opting for application of the amendment is irrecoverable.

In accordance with income taxes (Topic 740) the measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of the enacted tax law at balance sheet date. Since, as at December 31, 2010, the Amendment had not yet been “enacted”, as defined in Topic 740, the measurement of the current and deferred taxes for the year ended December 31, 2010 is made without taking the aforementioned Amendment into consideration. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these amendments would have on its consolidated financial statements.

Measurement of results for tax purposes under the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments Law), 1985 (“Inflationary Adjustments Law”)
 
Pursuant to the Israel Income Tax Law (Adjustments for Inflation), 1985 (hereinafter - the Adjustments Law), the results for tax purposes have been measured through 2007 on a real basis, based on changes in the Israel Consumer Price Index. The Company is taxed under this law.

Under the Israel Income Tax Law (Adjustments for Inflation) (Amendment No. 20), 2008 (hereinafter - the amendment), the provisions of the Adjustments Law will no longer apply to the Company in the 2008 tax year and thereafter, and therefore, the results of the Company will be measured for tax purposes in nominal terms. The amendment includes a number of transition provisions regarding the end of application of the Adjustments Law, which applied to the company through the end of the 2007 tax year.

 
c.
Tax rates

The regular corporate tax rate in Israel was 26% and 27%, in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The corporate tax rate is to be reduced to 25% in 2010. Income not eligible for “approved enterprise” benefits, mentioned above, is taxed at a regular rate.

 
On July 23, 2009, the Israel Economic Efficiency Law (Legislation Amendments for Applying the Economic Plan for the 2009 and 2010), 2009 (hereinafter – the 2009 amendment), became effective, stipulating, among other things, an additional gradual decrease in tax rate in 2011 and thereafter, as follows: 2011 – 24%, 2012 – 23%, 2013 – 22%, 2014 – 21%, 2015 – 20%, and 2016 and thereafter – 18%.
 
The subsidiary is taxed according to the tax laws in Germany. Accordingly, the applicable tax rates are corporate tax rate of 15.825% and trade tax rate of 15%.

 
d.
Carry forward tax losses

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had a net carry forward tax loss of approximately $14.2 million. Under Israeli tax laws, the carry forward tax losses of the Company can be utilized indefinitely. The subsidiary had a net carry forward tax loss of approximately $560 thousands. Under German tax laws, the carry forward tax losses of the subsidiary can be utilized indefinitely.

e.
During March 2011 the company granted a new fixed lien of $40 thousands to bank Mizrahi.

 
f.
On March 31, 2011, the Company completed the reverse merger transaction by and among the Company and the Shell. Subsequent to the date of execution of the transaction, shareholders of the Company, holding 100% of its issued and outstanding ordinary shares, executed a joinder to the Exchange Agreement and became parties thereto (the “InspireMD Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, on March 31, 2011, the InspireMD Shareholders transferred all of their ordinary shares in InspireMD to the Shell in exchange for 50,666,667 newly issued shares of common stock of the Shell, resulting in InspireMD becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Shell.

 
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement:
 
 
1)
The InspireMD Shareholders transferred 6,242,754ordinary shares of InspireMD (which represented 100% of InspireMD’s issued and outstanding capital stock immediately prior to the closing of the Share Exchange) to the Shell in exchange for 50,666,667 shares of the Shell’s common stock (the “Share Exchange”).

 
2)
The Shell assumed all of InspireMD’s obligations under InspireMD’s outstanding stock options. Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, InspireMD had outstanding stock options to purchase an aggregate of 937,256 shares of its ordinary shares, which outstanding options became options to purchase an aggregate of 7,606,770 shares of common stock of the Shell after giving effect to the Share Exchange.  Neither the Shell nor InspireMD had any other options to purchase shares of capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Share Exchange.

NOTE 15 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (continued):

3)            Three-year warrants to purchase up to 125,000 ordinary shares of InspireMD at an exercise price of $10 per share were assumed by the Shell and converted into warrants to purchase 1,014,510 shares of the Shell’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.23 per share.
 
4)
The Shell assumed 8% convertible debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $1,580,000 from InspireMD as follows: $580 thousands plus accrued interest of $88 thousands  were converted  upon closing and the remainder in the amount of $1,000 will be paid in May 15, 2011.

In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange, the Shell sold 6,454,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $1.50 per share and five-year warrants to purchase up to 3,227,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.80 per share in a private placement to accredited investors, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $9,680 thousands (the “Private Placement”). As a result of the consummation of the Private Placement, $580 thousands of the principal of the Convertible loan plus $88 thousands accrued interest, converted into approximately 445,060 shares (included in the 6,454,000 shares mentioned above) of common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share and 222,530 warrants (included in the 3,227,000 warrants mentioned above).
 
The transaction is being accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, equivalent to the issuance of stock by Inspire, for the net monetary assets of Saguaro.

Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC served as the Company’s placement agent in the Private Placement and received a fee of aproximately $300 thousands and issued Palladium Capital Advisors a five-year warrant to purchase 387,240 shares of our common stock (equal to 6% of the common stock on which the cash fee is payable), at an initial exercise price of $1.80 per share, with terms identical to the warrants issued to investors in the Private Placement. Palladium Capital Advisors are entitled to additional fee of  approximately $380 thousands subject to additional proceeds of $1 million which are probable to be received until April 15, 2011.

In connection with the Share Exchange, the shell issued to certain consultants in consideration for consulting services three-year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The terms of these warrants are identical to the $1.80 Warrants described above, except that the exercise price for the $1.50 Consultant Warrants is $1.50 per share.

On February 20, 2011 the Company have received a tax pre-ruling from the Israeli tax authorities according to section 103 of the israeli tax law, with regards to the share exchange of the Company's shares and options. According to the tax pre-ruling, the shares and options exchange will not resolve immediate tax event for the Company's shareholders, but a deferred tax event, subject to certain condition as stipulated in the tax pre-ruling. The main condition of the tax pre-ruling is restriction of the exchanged shares for two years from December 31, 2010.

As the transaction is a reverse recapitalization in which the shareholders of InspireMD obtained the majority of the issued and outstanding share after the transaction. Accordingly,  the following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements (“pro forma statements”) give effect to the acquisition by InspireMD Ltd. ("Inspire")  of Saguaro Resources, Inc. (“Saguaro”)  based on the estimates and assumptions set forth herein and in the notes to such statements.
 
In December 2010, Saguaro and Inspire entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Agreement”).

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the related notes thereto of Inspire and Saguaro.

The unaudited pro forma statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2010 combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of Inspire and Saguaro, giving effect to the recapitalization transaction, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2009. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet combines the historical consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2010 of Inspire and Saguaro, giving effect to the recapitalization transaction as if it had occurred on December 31, 2010.
 
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the transaction had been consummated at the dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future operating results of financial position of the consolidated companies.
