PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS | SUBJECT TO COMPLETION | DATED DECEMBER 18, 2017 |
My Size, Inc.
$3,000,000
Shares of Common Stock
Pre-funded Warrants to Purchase Shares of Common Stock
Common Warrants to Purchase Shares of Common Stock
We are offering up to [●] shares of our common stock together with [●] common warrants to purchase shares of our common stock (and the shares of common stock that are issuable from time to time upon exercise of the common warrants). Each common warrant upon exercise at a price of [●] will result in the issuance of one share of common stock to the holder of such common warrant. We are also offering to each purchaser whose purchase of shares of common stock in this offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to purchase, if the purchaser so chooses, pre-funded warrants, in lieu of shares of common stock that would otherwise result in the purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of our outstanding common stock. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of pre-funded warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its pre-funded warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. Each pre-funded warrant will be exercisable for one share of our common stock. The purchase price of each pre-funded warrant will equal the price per share at which the shares of common stock are being sold to the public in this offering, minus $0.001, and the exercise price of each pre-funded warrant will be $0.001 per share. This offering also relates to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of any pre-funded warrants sold in this offering. Each pre-funded warrant is being sold together with a common warrant with the same terms as the common warrant described above. For each pre-funded warrant we sell, the number of shares of common stock we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. Because a common warrant is being sold together in this offering with each share of common stock and, in the alternative, each pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock, the number of common warrants sold in this offering will not change as a result of a change in the mix of the shares of our common stock and pre-funded warrants sold. The common warrants will be exercisable immediately and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants, if any, can each be purchased only with the accompanying common warrants, but will be issued separately, and will be immediately separable upon issuance.
Our common stock is listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “MYSZ” and on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”) under the symbol “MYSZ”. The closing price of our common stock on December 15, 2017, as reported by The NASDAQ Capital Market, was $0.83 per share. There is no established public trading market for the pre-funded warrants or common warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for a listing of the pre-funded warrants or common warrants on any national securities exchange. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the pre-funded warrants or common warrants will be limited.
Investing in our securities involves risks. See the section entitled “ Risk Factors ” beginning on page 12 of this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our securities.

OUR BUSINESS
Overview
The Company is a technology company whose strategy is based on the development of applications that can be utilized to accurately take measurements of a variety of items via a smartphone. By downloading the application to a smartphone, the user is then able to run the smartphone over the surface of an item the user wishes to measure. The information is then automatically sent to a cloud-based server where the dimensions are calculated through the Company’s proprietary algorithms, and the accurate measurements (+ or - 2 centimeters) are then sent back to the users smartphone. We believe that the commercial applications for this technology are significant in many areas.
Currently, we are focusing on the following market segments:
● | E-commerce apparel industry – our main target-market; |
● | Courier services; |
● | Do it yourself (“DIY”) uses; and |
● | Usage as a tape measure. |
While we are currently devoting much of our focus on the applications for the apparel business, management believes that all of the above mentioned applications will be useful to users, retailers and vendors alike.
The Market - The Apparel Industry
The growth in online apparel shopping has been positive and negative for retailers. The positive: what was an approximately $72.13 billion apparel and accessories market in 2016 is projected to increase to approximately $116.3 billion U.S. dollars by 2021 (https://www.statista.com/statistics/278890/us-apparel-and-accessories-retail-e-commerce-revenue). The negative: although online apparel shopping is growing quickly, customer returns are also growing quickly due to a bad fit.
For apparel retailers, both in retail and online, customer returns are a necessary pain point, backed by flexible return policies and in some instances, free return shipping. However, online retailers have higher operating costs as at least 30% of all products ordered online are returned, compared to 8.89% from retail stores, according to recent data (http://www.business2community.com/infographics/e-commerce-product-return-statistics-trends-infographic-01505394#Js0FFKfd6xZEorqz.97). The U.S. Census Bureau estimated that total e-commerce sales for 2016 were $394.9 billion, an increase of 15.1% from 2015. According to Euromonitor International, most online apparel retailers have average return rates of 15-20%, of which around 80% are fit-based. According to the National Retail Federation, when translating these figures into hard currency, in the United States, online consumers returned approximately $260 billion in merchandise to retailers in 2015, or 8% of all purchases.
MySizeID
We are currently in development of an application (“MySizeID”) which assists the consumer to accurately take the measurements of his or her own body using a smartphone in order to fit clothing in the best way possible without the need to try the clothes on. The purpose of our application is to simplify the process of clothing acquisition through the internet and to significantly reduce the rate of returns of ill-fitting clothing which are acquired through the internet.
1 |
The application is the result of a research and development effort that combines:
● | Anthropometric research – analyses of information pertaining to body measurements derived from a survey and the subsequent determination of correlations between body parts; | |
● | Body measurement algorithm research – an algorithm created by the Company to measure body parts; and | |
● | Retailers size chart analyses – adopting a deep understanding of the size charts of retailers and the corresponding “body to garment size.” |
MySizeID will operate based on the use of existing sensors in smart phones which enable, through a specific purpose application, the measurement of the body of consumers independently by moving the cellular phone along his or her body. The measurements will then be saved on the Company’s cloud database, enabling the user to search for clothes in various retailer websites without worrying about size. When a search is made, the retailer will connect to the Company’s cloud database and then provide results based on the user’s measurements and other parameters as he or she may have defined. This data will also be saved for use when a customer enters a brick and mortar store to help serve the customer more efficiently and to provide a better shopping experience.
As soon as the item is found and the acquisition is completed, the retailer will be charged a certain percentage of the acquisition price. The rate to be charged by My Size for the acquisition has not yet been fixed, and will be determined following negotiations with fashion companies, in a more advanced stage of the development .
How MySizeID Can be Utilized by the Apparel Industry
1. | MySizeID: This application will allow consumers to create a secure, online profile of their personal measurements, which can then be utilized with partnered online retailers to insure that no matter the manufacturer or size chart, they will get the right fit. The MySizeID application will utilize a patent-pending measurement technology that does not rely on user photographs or any additional hardware; all a user needs to do is scan their body with their smartphone and the app records their measurements. |
2. |
In Store Shopping Tool: The Company is developing technology which will permit users of MySizeID to allow brick and mortar merchants to access their profile to receive more personalized attention. This anticipated concierge like service will enable a salesperson to better serve customers by accessing the user’s size and style preferences to make the in-store shopping experience more pleasant, time efficient and satisfactory. |
3. |
Cross Site Search Feature: The Company is developing the MySizeID profile which will enable users to search for a specific product or item across multiple online retailers, but, unlike most shopping comparison shopping tools, MySizeID will deliver results that fit each individual user’s measurements. The Company will develop this feature so that it can be customized for personalized filters that go beyond sizing and measurements, and can also include a user’s favorite colors, brands, styles and more. |
The application is being designed to use a person’s body measurements to help determine correct apparel sizes when shopping on-line. To begin, the app will measure the hip breadth, and uses statistical, mathematical algorithms to recommend the most appropriate size trousers.
True Size
In November 2016, the Company introduced a new product called TrueSize.
TrueSize is a customizable, white-label, mobile application that empowers retailers to improve the online shopping experience of their customers by perfectly matching their true measurements with the retailer’s offerings. The level of accuracy and ease of use integrated into the retailer’s website ensures that the customers will select the right size apparel every time, and we believe this will significantly reduce the amount of returns.
How Does TrueSize Work?
TrueSize has two components: a white label application and a small application located on each page of the retailer’s website. First, the customer downloads the TrueSize app, branded to a specific retailer’s website, and signs in, using the same credentials used for the online store. The application will then guide the customer through the process.
Using the TrueSize app, the customer next takes accurate measurements of an item of clothing from their wardrobe by placing the smartphone first on one end of the item and then on the other end. The app. will then prompt the user to take several different measurements to get a complete reading. The information pertaining to each item is then saved, but can be updated at any time. Measurements are next stored in the cloud and a recommended size for the user is calculated. The user may continue shopping directly from the app by clicking the “Go Shopping” button, which will direct them to the retailer’s mobile website.
2 |
The chart below illustrates how consumers can interact with the prompts from the TrueSize application.
Shopping with TrueSize
A “TrueSize” widget in the form of a button is located in proximity to the size selection feature on each product page of the retailer’s website. If the customer has signed in to the website and has already downloaded the TrueSize app and taken measurements, a recommended size will automatically appear in the widget. Users then have the option to manually update their size parameters – height, weight, and an item’s parameters – at any time by simply clicking on the widget. If the customer has not yet signed into the website, a prompt will appear requesting the customer to do so.
TRUCCO – RealSize
RealSize is a white label measurement application developed based on the Company’s TrueSize technology. The first customer to use the TrueSize technology is IN SITU S.A., the owner of the rights to the fashion brand-name TRUCCO. TRUCCO is a women’s clothing brand and has over 240 points of sale in more than 20 countries all over the world including, but not limited to, Andorra, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, France, Guatemala, Israel, Kuwait, Libya, Malaysia, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Qatar, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, Taiwan and Thailand.
The Market - Courier Services
When an individual wishes to ship boxes from place to place, they often call a courier service and request a pick up. The individual is then usually asked about the dimensions of the package to be shipped. Unfortunately, the response given to the courier can be rather vague (big, medium, small, etc.). This is often the cause of much confusion between the shipper and the courier. This confusion can lead to the courier sending out the wrong vehicle for the pick-up and/or a large price differential than what was originally quoted by the courier causing customer dissatisfaction.
How My Size Can be Utilized for Courier Services
My Size operates based on the use of existing sensors in smart phones which enable, through a specific purpose application, measurement of the dimensions of packages by moving the cellular phone along packages (length, height and width) to be sent via courier. The measurements are then be saved on the Company’s cloud database and shared with the courier. This allows for:
● | Courier services to provide accurate pricing to their consumers with little to no confusion; and | |
● | Courier services can send the proper sized vehicle to pick up package(s). |
Accordingly to Market Realist, the courier service market in the United States alone had revenues of over $90 billion in 2014. Accordingly, the Company views this as an excellent opportunity to create value in the courier market.

Agreement with Katz Delivery Services, LTD
On November 20, 2015, My Size entered into an agreement (the “Katz Agreement”) with Katz Deliveries, LTD (“Katz”), one of the largest courier services in Israel. Katz delivers approximately five million parcels per year, the most in Israel. Katz has more than 250 vehicles. Pursuant to the Katz Agreement, the parties have agreed to mutually work together to develop and integrate My Size technology with the technology of Katz to accurately monitor the volume of all parcels delivered to it for shipment by its clients. The goal is for Katz to use our technology to help with planning its distribution lines, thus reducing operational costs by adjusting the distribution vehicles to the volume of the shipments. My Size expects to generate revenues from this endeavor by the second half of 2018, but is still in negotiations with Katz regarding the terms of the Katz Agreement.
SizeUp
My Size is working on additional consumer applications. One of these applications is in the category of DIY. In this application, users will be able to visualize how an object or a piece of furniture will fit in an existing room in their home or office. As many people have difficulty with spatial recognition, the Company hopes this will help alleviate the problem.
In the third quarter of 2015, My Size launched the SizeUp application, a smart tape measure for the business to consumer market. SizeUp is a project that My Size has already completed and launched. This application allows users to utilize their smartphone as a tape measurer. The application provides measurements with an accuracy plus or minus 2 centimeters. In the first quarter of 2016, a second version of SizeUp for the iOS operating system was released. This release included the ability to measure both horizontal and vertical measurements. In January 2017, a third version of SizeUp for the iOS operating system was released. This release included an innovative air measurement algorithm which allows the user to measure over the air without the need to slide the phone over the surface during the measurement. Through November 2017, there have been over 530,000 downloads of the SizeUp app.
The first version of the SizeUp app for Android was released in March 2016 and included vertical measurement. An update to the app was released in June, 2017 which update includes a one-time calibration process for ensuring high accuracy. Currently both versions of the SizeUp app (for Android and iOS) are available for free for the first 30 days, where after a user will be required to pay a one-time fee of $1.99 to continue using the application. To date, the Company has accumulated immaterial revenues from the mentioned fee.
Research and Development
The Company has incurred research and development expenses of $727,000 in 2016 and $301,000 in 2015, and $624,000 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, relating to the development of its applications and technologies.
Income Sources - Projected Income
The Company’s business model currently contemplates five methods of producing revenue through its products:
1. | Fees - The Company intends to charge sellers a fee for every garment and clothing item purchased using its services, which fees are currently anticipated to be in the range of 1% to 3% of royalties on product sales, depending on volume, resulting from usage of the MySizeID platform. |
2. | Advertisements - the Company may generate revenue by using specialized ads using its database to identify the user’s exact needs. |
3. | “Offline Shopping” - the Company may offer its services for clothing and fashion stores, for real-time use by their customers. The service may allow the store to immediately offer the customer a fitting garment suitable for his or her size. | |
4. | Pay Per API call – every time a user is looking onto an item in the retailers website and clicks the “what’s my size” button to find out his size the retailer will be charged a fixed amount based on the SDK pricing matrix. | |
5. | SizeUp – SizeUp is the first B2C app that MySize has released in the Apple App Store and on Google Play. The Company charges a one-time fee of $1.99 for every download of the app from either store. |
Competition
Management of the Company believes that its technology and applications are a win-win solution for consumers, retailers, couriers and individuals. The Company’s technology is protected by three issued patents, one in each of Russia, Japan and the U.S., one patent-pending submission and an additional patent application which is in process. My Size’s products are designed to allow users to measure themselves simply by sliding a smartphone over their body, and the measurements are recorded by the My Size application.
Unlike other products claiming similar capabilities, there is no need for additional accessories (no webcam, photos, measuring tape, etc.). Users of the My Size apps will have their information protected and a unique identification number is provided that matches personal sizes with retailer size charts. When consumers get the right size products, there are fewer returns of such products involved.
4 |
My Size’s advantage lies in its easy to use application in recording body measurements. Using special algorithmic equations, the software is able to determine which sizes will best fit the customer. The collection of this data, and tracking shoppers’ preferences, allows for a unique shopping experience both online and in brick and mortar stores where the technology can instantly match clothes the customer likes in sizes that will fit them.
However, My Size does face competition in helping retailers increase conversation rate and reduce shipping costs.

Some of our competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing, personnel and other resources than we do, and many of our competitors are well established in markets in which we have existing retailers or intend to locate new retailers. We may also need to evolve our concepts in order to compete with popular new retail formats or concepts that develop from time to time, and we cannot offer any assurance that we will be successful in doing so or that modifications to our concepts will not reduce our profitability.

Legal Proceedings
On May 3, 2017, Lightcom (Israel) Ltd., an Israeli company, alleging that it is a shareholder of the Company, filed a motion with the Tel Aviv District Court (Financial Division) to approve an action against the Company and the Company’s officers and directors, as a shareholders’ class action. The complaint alleges, inter alia, that the Company’s report dated April 19, 2017 regarding its engagement with the Israeli Post was false and misleading, and that as a result thereof financial damages have been incurred by two purported classes of shareholders: (i) any shareholder who sold Company’s shares as of April 20, 2017 and until April 27, 2017, with respect to damage directly caused by such sale and (ii) any shareholder which held shares on April 20, 2017 and subsequent to April 27, 2017 with respect to damage caused by permanent adverse effect to the shares’ value. The alleged financial damage caused to members of both classes is estimated at NIS 18.8 million. The Company reviewed the Motion initially with its legal counsel and retained an expert to review and analyze the allegations and data upon which the motion is based. The Company’s management, after considering the conclusions of a report issued by a third party expert and an opinion of U.S. legal counsel, is of the opinion that the chances that the class motion will be denied exceed the risk that it will be approved In the event that the class motion will be approved, the complaint will become a class action which will be heard by the court on its merits. Should this occur, the Company will respond to the class motion in the time frame ordered by the court. On November 15, 2017 the Company filed its response to the class motion and a motion to dismiss the class motion. On November 15, 2017, the Court ordered the respondent (the original plaintiff) to respond to the motion to dismiss within 30 days, which response was filed by the respondent on November 29, 2017. A hearing on the foregoing matter is scheduled to be held on January 3, 2018. As of the date of this filing, the motion to dismiss is still pending.
On September 9, 2015, fourteen shareholders filed a complaint against the Company and its CEO Mr. Ronen Luzon, alleging that in accordance with agreements signed between plaintiffs and the Company, the plaintiffs are entitled to register their shares for sale with the stock market, while the Company allegedly breached its obligation and refrained from doing its duty to register the plaintiffs’ shares. On November 5, 2015, the Company filed its defense and a counter claim against the plaintiffs and against two additional defendants (who are not plaintiffs) Mr. Asher Shmuelevitch and Mr. Eitan Nahum. In its counter claim, the Company alleged that the agreements by force of which the counter defendants hold their shares are defunct, based on fraud, as the counter defendants never paid and never intended to pay the agreed consideration for their shares. The Company further alleged that Mr. Shmuelevitch used his position as a director and controlling stockholder of the Company to knowingly cause the Company to enter such defunct agreements. On September 5, 2017, the court rendered a judgment pursuant to which the complaint against the Company was accepted, the complaint against Mr. Ronen Luzon was rejected and the Company’s counter-claim was rejected. The judgment included: (1) a declaratory remedy, under which the Company breached its contractual undertakings toward the plaintiffs, to list their shares both on TASE and on NASDAQ; (2) an order that the Company take any and all actions required for the listing of the plaintiffs shares, including instructing the Company’s transfer agent to remove the legend or any other restriction from the plaintiffs stock certificate and to issue them with new stock certificates free and clear from any restriction; (3) an order that the registration company of Bank Hapoalim electronically list all of the plaintiffs’ shares detailed in the complaint on the electronic trading system; and (4) an order that the Company pay the plaintiffs costs in the amount of NIS 70,000. On October 3, 2017, the Company appealed the judgment with the Supreme Court of Israel, and simultaneously, filed with the Supreme Court a Motion for Stay of Execution of the judgement, pending the outcome of the appeal. On November 8, 2017, the Supreme Court upheld the Motion to Stay and ordered that the execution of the judgment will be stayed pending the outcome of the appeal, provided that the Company deposit in the Supreme Court’s treasury an autonomous Israeli CPI linked bank guarantee in an amount of NIS 1,700,000, to cover the respondents’ potential damages should the appeal be ultimately denied. The Company did not deposit the bank guarantee in the amount of NIS 1,700,000 and will instead register the shares held by the plaintiffs on TASE and on NASDAQ and will issue such shares free of any restrictive legends. In the event that the Company is successful in its appeal, the Company may seek relief from the shareholders which have sold their shares either in private or public sales in the amount of the proceeds from such sales. Although the Company has appealed such matter, there can be no assurance that the appeal will result in a judgment favorable to the Company. If the judgment rendered on appeal is not favorable to the Company, the Company may be ordered to pay the respondents legal costs in connection with the appeal. On November 16, 2017, the Company deposited NIS 45,000 with the Supreme Court to cover respondents’ potential legal costs if the appeal is ultimately denied.
The Company received legal advice from its counsel that the burden of proof that the judgment is wrong and should be reversed lies with the appellant. Consequently, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the appeal will be denied rather than being accepted. In the event that the appeal is denied, no direct financial liability will be imposed on the Company (other than legal costs which the court may order the losing side to pay).
It should be noted that the plaintiffs may file a complaint against the Company seeking reimbursement of economic loss or damages due to the fact that their shares remained restricted, in breach of the Company’s contractual undertakings. A formal demand has not yet been filed, but in their response to the Company’s motion to stay the judgment, the plaintiffs argued, that they suffered economic loss in the sum of NIS 12,100,000. As of the date of this filing no formal request or complaint were filed; however, we are unable to assess the financial risk inherent in such a claim since, among other things, the estimate of alleged damage is dependent upon the actual revenues to be received by the plaintiffs from the future sale of the shares, the method of calculating the damage and data relating to the Company's share price and trading volume of stock. Needless to say, that in the event that the Company is successful in its appeal, there will be no grounds to such reimbursement.

On December 27, 2015, a legal complaint was filed against the Company. The defendants named in the complaint are the Company, the members of the Board of Directors of the Company, Mrs. Shoshana Zigdon, a shareholder and related party in the Company, as well as two additional defendants who are not shareholders of the Company. The plaintiff alleges that the Company violated its obligation to register his shares (the “Original Shares”) for trade with the TASE causing damage in total amount of NIS 2,622,500. The plaintiff seeks relief against the defendants through financial compensation in the sum of the aforementioned alleged damage; additional compensation in the sum of NIS 400,000 for mental anguish; and if and to the extent that until such time as the plaintiff may be able to sell its shares on TASE ("the Exercise Date"), the price of a Company share will be in excess of NIS 20.98 ("the Base Price"), an additional amount equal to the difference between the Base Price and the highest price of a Company share between the time the claim was submitted and the Exercise Date for each share held by the plaintiff. The plaintiff has also requested costs of trial and attorney's fees. Following the recommendation of the court, on March 20, 2016, the plaintiff filed a notice of deletion of certain defendants including board and management members, excluding the chairman of the Board and the CEO of the Company from the statement of claim. Pursuant to the Israeli court's recommendation, the case was referred to mediation and the Company and the plaintiff entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement") dated June 20, 2017. Pursuant to the Settlement, (i) the Company shall pay the plaintiff the sum of NIS325,000 (the "Down Payment") within 30 days from the date of the Settlement, (ii) the Company is obligated to register the Original Shares within a specified time frame and (ii) the Company will issue, within 60 days, 80,358 additional shares of common stock (the “New Shares”) to the plaintiff which shares shall be registered, deposited in escrow and sold for the benefit of the plaintiff. Such New Shares shall be sold at a maximum aggregate price of NIS10,000 or an amount constituting no more than 2% of the average volume of trades within the last 90 days, according to the higher amount, in one single trading day. To the extent the Company does not issue the unrestricted New Shares within 60 days, the plaintiff has a right, at his exclusive discretion, to resume the legal proceedings pursuant to the complaint, provided that the Down Payment is deposited by him in an escrow account, pending the court's final adjudication of the complaint. Additionally, the Settlement provides that to the extent the aggregate proceeds from the sale of the Original Shares and the New Shares is less than NIS1,600,000, the Company will either complement the difference in cash or shall issue to the plaintiff additional shares of common stock in lieu thereof, at the Company's sole discretion. If the Company does not comply with the terms of the Settlement, plaintiff may resume the legal proceedings which could result in substantial costs, diversion of management’s attention and diversion of the Company’s resources.

Company Information
The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware and commenced operations in September 1999 under the name Topspin Medical, Inc. In December 2013, the Company changed its name to Knowledgetree Ventures Inc. Subsequently, in February 2014, the Company changed its name to My Size, Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 3 Arava St., pob 1026, Airport City, Israel 7010000, and our telephone number is +972-3-600-9030. Our website address is www.MySizeID.com. The information on our website is not part of this prospectus. We have included our website address as a factual reference and do not intend it to be an active link to our website.
Background
The Company (under the name Topspin Medical, Inc.) was a privately held company that was engaged, through 2012, in research and development of a medical magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) technology for interventional cardiology and in the development of MRI technology for use in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
On September 1, 2005, the Company issued securities to the public in Israel according to a prospectus and became publicly traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”). In 2007, and until August 2012, the Company registered some of its securities with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
In January 2012, after having received the approval at the general meeting of shareholders of the Company, the Company consummated a transaction whereby it acquired Metamorefix Ltd. (“Metamorefix”). Pursuant to such transaction, Metamorefix became wholly-owned by the Company. Metamorefix was incorporated in 2007, and was engaged in the development of innovative solutions for the rehabilitation of tissues, particularly skin tissues.
On August 21, 2012, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) approved the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Section 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “De-Registration”). The Company thereafter filed a Form 15 with the SEC on September 5, 2012 to effect the De-Registration. Upon the filing of the Form 15, the Company’s obligation to file periodic and current reports with the SEC, including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on form 8-K, was immediately suspended.
By the end of 2012, in view of the Company’s cash flow, the Company ceased its above operations and shortly thereafter the Company’s employees were laid off. In January 2013, the Company sold its entire ownership interest in Metamorefix.

Change in Control Transaction
In September 2013, Ronen Luzon, the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer, purchased control of the Company from Mr. Asher Shmuelevitch (the “Transaction”). Mr. Luzon purchased 1,755,950 shares of common stock from Mr. Shmuelevitch, which shares represented approximately 40% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company at such time, and thus Mr. Luzon became a controlling shareholder of the Company.
Within the framework of the Transaction, Mr. Luzon reached a settlement with the Company’s creditors pursuant to which the main creditor, Mr. Asher Shmuelevitch, was paid a total sum of New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) 0.5 million (approximately $140,000) in consideration for a full and final waiver of any and all his claims that he may have relating to any monetary indebtedness of the Company to the creditors.
As a result of the various investment rounds in the Company, Mr. Luzon’s beneficial ownership in the Company has been diluted and currently represent approximately 11% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis.
In December 2013, the Company changed its name to Knowledgetree Ventures Inc. Thereafter, in January, 2014, the Board approved a transaction with Shoshana Zigdon, a related party, with respect to a technology venture through a new subsidiary, as discussed in the Shoshana Zigdon Agreement below (see “February 2014 Purchase Agreement”). Subsequently, on February 16, 2014, the Company changed its name to My Size, Inc.
February 2014 Purchase Agreement
In February 2014, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement’) with Shoshana Zigdon (“Seller”), with respect to the acquisition of certain rights in a venture for the accumulation of physical data of human beings by portable electronic devices (including smart phones, tablets and other portable devices) for the purpose of locating, based on the accumulated data, articles of clothing in internet apparel stores, which will fit the person whose measurements were so accumulated (the “Venture”). Prior to entering into the Purchase Agreement, in January 2014, the Purchase Agreement was approved by shareholders of the Company as the Seller was also a beneficial owner of over 20% of the outstanding capital of the Company.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased the all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and to the Venture, including, but not limited to, the method (the “Method”) and the certain patent application that had been filed by Seller (PCT/IL2013/050056) (the “Patent”, and collectively with the Method, the “Assets”).
In consideration for the sale of the Assets, the Company agreed to pay to Seller, 18% of the Company’s operating profit, directly or indirectly connected with the Venture and/or the Method and/or the commercialization of the Patent together with value-added tax (“VAT”) in accordance with the law (the “Consideration”) for a period of seven years from the end of the development period of the Venture. The parties further agreed that Seller’s right to receive the Consideration will apply even in the event the Patent is revoked/rejected/expires and/or the non-receipt of the Patent for any reason. Down payments on account of the Consideration are to be paid to the Seller quarterly, within 14 days from the approval of the reviewed financial reports of the Company, with the exception of the fourth quarter which will be paid after the approval of the audited financial reports of the Company. Payment will be made against a duly issued tax invoice as prescribed by law.
The Agreement may be terminated by either party in the event of a breach of the obligations of the other party and the failure to cure a default within a specified period of time. The Agreement further provides that Seller is entitled to repurchase the Assets from the Company upon the occurrence of one or more of the following events: (a) if an application for liquidation of the Company and/or an application for appointment of a receiver for the Company and/or for a significant part of its assets has been filed, and/or an attachment has been imposed on a significant part of the Company’s assets, and the application or attachment – as the case may be – has not been not canceled within 60 days from the date on which they are filed; or (b) if upon the date that is seven years from the date of execution of the Agreement, the amount of Company’s income, directly and/or indirectly accumulated from the Venture and/or the Method and/or the commercialization of the Patent is less than NIS 3.6 million (approximately $1 million) (a “Repurchase Event”).
If a Repurchase Event occurs, Seller shall have a 90 day right, subject to delivery of written notice to the Company of Seller’s intention to exercise such right, to repurchase the Assets from the Company. The repurchase price will be based upon a market price to be determined by an external and independent valuer, who shall be chosen by agreement by the parties, and the Audit Committee shall conduct the negotiations on behalf of the Company to determine the identity of the valuer. In the absence of agreement on the identity of the valuer, the valuer shall be appointed by the President of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. If one of the parties appeals against the valuation, with the Company’s decision to appeal being made by the Audit Committee of the Company, the parties shall approach another agreed valuer from one of the four large accounting firms in Israel (and in the absence of agreement he shall be chosen by the President of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants) and an average shall be taken of the two valuations which are received. The parties shall bear the valuers’ fees and all the expenses of the valuation in equal shares. Unless Seller gives the Company written notice of the retraction of Seller’s intention to repurchase the Assets, the Seller shall be obligated to repurchase the Assets within 60 days from the date of receipt of the valuation. Seller shall have the right to retract its intention to repurchase the Assets, provided Seller gives written notice to the Company within 30 days of receiving the valuation and subject to Seller refunding the Company the expenses borne by the Company in respect of the valuation (provided that the Company gives Seller details of the expenses borne by it).

In addition to the foregoing, the Agreement provides that all developments, improvements knowledge and know-how developed and/or accumulated by the Company after the execution of the Agreement will be owned by the Company. Further, the Seller agreed not to compete, directly or indirectly, with the Company in any matter relating to the Assets and/or the Venture and/or the Method for a period of seven years from the end of the development period of the Venture.
On July 25, 2016, the Company’s common stock began publicly trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “MYSZ”.
Anticipated Reverse Stock Split and Other Corporate Actions Approved by Stockholders
On November 8, 2017 and December 14, 2017, the stockholders holding a majority of the voting capital of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and the Board approved (i) a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock in a ratio to be determined by the Board which ratio shall not be less than 1-for-2 nor more than 1-for-10, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range as determined by the Board (ii) an amendment to the Company’s 2017 Consultant Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder from 3,000,000 to 4,500,000 shares and (iii) an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares (which will not be affected by the aforementioned reverse stock split).
On December 18, 2017, the Company filed a preliminary information statement with the SEC in connection with the aforementioned approvals. Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, 20 days after the mailing of such information statement to stockholders of the Company, which the Company expects will be mailed on or about December 29, 2017, the Company shall file an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate the reverse stock split, at such ratio as determined by the Board, as well as the increase in authorized shares of common stock. The amendment to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2017 Consultant Equity Incentive Plan shall become effective on the 20 th day after the mailing of the information statement to stockholders of the Company without further action by the Company.

Common stock offered by us in this offering |
[●] shares | |
Pre-funded warrants offered by us in this offering | We are also offering to each purchaser whose purchase of shares of common stock in this offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to purchase, if the purchaser so chooses, pre-funded warrants, in lieu of shares of common stock that would otherwise result in the purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of our outstanding common stock. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of pre-funded warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its pre-funded warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. Each pre-funded warrant will be exercisable for one share of our common stock. The purchase price of each pre-funded warrant will equal the price per share at which the shares of common stock are being sold to the public in this offering, minus $0.001, and the exercise price of each pre-funded warrant will be $0.001 per share. This offering also relates to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of any pre-funded warrants sold in this offering. For each pre-funded warrant we sell, the number of shares of common stock we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. Because a common warrant to purchase [●] shares of our common stock is being sold together in this offering with each share of common stock and, in the alternative, each pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock, the number of common warrants sold in this offering will not change as a result of a change in the mix of the shares of our common stock and pre-funded warrants sold. | |
Common warrants offered by us in this offering | Common warrants to purchase an aggregate of [●] shares of our common stock. Each share of our common stock is being sold together with a common warrant to purchase [●] share of our common stock. Each common warrant will have an exercise price of $[●] per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of recapitalization events, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications, reorganizations or similar events), will be immediately exercisable and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a common warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will round up to the next whole share. This prospectus also relates to the offering of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the common warrants. | |
Common stock to be outstanding after this offering | [●] shares (assuming no sale of any pre-funded warrants and assuming none of the common warrants issued in this offering are exercised). The number of shares outstanding after this offering is on a pre-reverse stock split basis without taking into account a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock in a ratio to be determined by the Board which ratio shall be not less than 1-for-2 and no more than 1-for-10. If the reverse stock split ratio is 1-for-2, then after this offering [●] shares will be outstanding (assuming no sale of any pre-funded warrants and assuming none of the common warrants issued in this offering are exercised). If the reverse stock split ratio is 1-for-10, then after this offering [●] shares will be outstanding (assuming no sale of any pre-funded warrants and assuming none of the common warrants issued in this offering are exercised). The reverse stock split is scheduled to as such time as the Board, in its sole discretion determines, if at all; provided, however, such reverse stock split shall occur no sooner than 20 days after the mailing of the Company’s information statement pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, which the Company plans to mail on or around December 29, 2017, as discussed on page 9 of this prospectus. | |
Use of proceeds | We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $[●] million if we sell all of the securities we are offering, based upon the assumed public offering price of $[●] per share or pre-funded warrant, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us and assuming no exercise of the common or pre-funded warrants. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities for working capital, repayment of trade payables, general corporate purposes, the repayment of $666,666 million in promissory notes sold in our October 2017 private placement of securities, and $60,000 in fees payable to the placement agent in connection with such October 2017 private placement. See “Use of Proceeds” on page 24 for additional information. |

We may be unable to successfully develop or market any of our current or proposed products or technologies, those products or technologies may not generate any revenues, and any revenues generated may not be sufficient for us to become profitable or thereafter maintain profitability. We have only generated very minimal revenues to date.
We have historically incurred significant losses and there can be no assurance when, or if, we will achieve or maintain profitability.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the Company realized a net loss of $4,334,000 compared with a net loss of $3,437,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015. Our net loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $3,519,000. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of the Company’s products and business, we are unable to predict the extent of any future losses or when we will become profitable, if at all. Expected future operating losses will have an adverse effect on our cash resources, stockholders’ equity and working capital. Our failure to become and remain profitable could depress the value of our stock and impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, maintain our development efforts, diversify our portfolio of staffing companies, or continue our operations. A decline in our value could also cause you to lose all or part of your investment in our Company.
Based on the projected cash flows and the cash balances as of the date of t his prospectus, our management is of the opinion that without further fund raising we will not have sufficient resources to enable the Company to continue its operating activities, including the development and marketing of our products, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of filing of t his prospectus. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans include the continued commercialization of our products and securing sufficient financing through the sale of additional equity securities, debt or capital inflows from strategic partnerships. There can be no assurances, however, that we will be successful in obtaining the level of financing needed for our operations. If we are unsuccessful in commercializing our products and securing sufficient financing, we may need cease operations.
We will need to raise additional capital to meet our business requirements in the future, which is likely to be challenging, could be highly dilutive and may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
In order to meet our business objectives, we will need to raise additional capital, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all. Additional capital would be used to accomplish the following:
● | finance our current operating expenses; | |
● | pursue growth opportunities; | |
● | hire and retain qualified management and key employees; | |
● | respond to competitive pressures; | |
● | comply with regulatory requirements; and | |
● | maintain compliance with applicable laws. |
12 |
To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities could result in substantial dilution for our current stockholders. 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. We may issue additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our common stock in connection with hiring or retaining personnel, option or warrant exercises, future acquisitions or future placements of our securities for capital-raising or other business purposes. The issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt, by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline and existing stockholders may not agree with our financing plans or the terms of such financings.
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.
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.
The success of our business is highly dependent on being able to predict which applications and technologies will be successful, and on the market acceptance and timely release of those applications and technologies. If we do not accurately predict which applications and technologies will be successful, our financial performance will be materially adversely affected.
We expect to derive most of our revenue by charging fees in connection with the usage of our applications and technologies. We must make product development decisions and commit significant resources well in advance of the anticipated introduction of new applications and technologies. The release of our applications and technologies may be delayed, may not succeed or may have a shorter life cycle than anticipated. If the applications are not released when anticipated or do not attain wide market acceptance, our revenue growth may never materialize, we may be unable to fully recover the resources we have committed, and our financial performance will be harmed.
We are substantially dependent on assets we purchased from an affiliated party, and if we lose the rights to such assets or the assets are repurchased for any reason, our ability to develop existing and new applications based upon these assets would be harmed, and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.
In February 2014, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with Shoshana Zigdon pursuant to which we acquired certain rights in a venture for the accumulation of physical data of human beings by portable electronic devices (including smart phones, tablets and other portable devices) for the purpose of locating, based on the accumulated data, articles of clothing in internet apparel stores, which will fit the person whose measurements were so accumulated. In addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we acquired the right, title and interest to the method and the certain patent application that had been filed by Shoshana Zigdon (PCT/IL2013/050056). Our business is substantially dependent upon the assets we acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Therefore, our ability to develop and commercialize our applications depends upon the effectiveness and continuation of the Purchase Agreement. If we lose the right to the Method or Patent application described above, our ability to develop existing and new applications would be harmed.
In consideration for the sale of the Method and Patent application, we agreed to pay to Shoshana Zigdon, 18% of the Company’s operating profit, directly or indirectly connected with the Venture and/or the Method and/or the commercialization of the Patent together with value-added tax in accordance with the law for a period of seven years from the end of the development period of the Venture. Shoshana Zigdon’s right to receive such consideration will apply even in the event the Patent is revoked/rejected/expires and/or the non-receipt of the Patent for any reason.
The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by either party in the event of a breach of the obligations of the other party and the failure to cure the default within a specified period of time. Further, Shoshana Zigdon has the right to repurchase the Method and Patent application from us upon the occurrence of one or more of the following events: (a) if an application for liquidation of the Company and/or an application for appointment of a receiver for the Company and/or for a significant part of its assets has been filed, and/or an attachment has been imposed on a significant part of the Company’s assets, and the application or attachment – as the case may be – has not been not canceled within 60 days from the date on which they are filed; or (b) if upon the date that is seven years from the date of execution of the Purchase Agreement, the amount of Company’s income, directly and/or indirectly accumulated from the Venture and/or the method and/or the commercialization of the Patent is less than NIS 3.6 million (approximately $1 million). If Shoshana Zigdon repurchases the Method and Patent application, our ability to develop our proposed products would be significantly harmed. Furthermore, we may lose the ability to commercialize any products that we have already developed.

Changes in economic conditions could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Because our target customers are retailers, we, together with the rest of the retail industry, will depend upon consumer discretionary spending once we develop our proposed products. Increases in unemployment rates, reductions in home values, increases in home foreclosures, investment losses, personal bankruptcies and reductions in access to credit and reduced consumer confidence, may impact consumers’ ability and willingness to spend discretionary dollars. In addition, volatile economic conditions may repress consumer confidence and discretionary spending. Any of the foregoing may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Damage to our reputation or lack of acceptance of our brand in existing and new markets could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We intend to build a strong reputation for the quality of our technology, and we must protect and grow the value of our brand to be successful. Any incident that erodes consumer affinity for our brand could significantly reduce our brand value and damage our business. If guests perceive or experience a reduction in quality, or in any way believe we fail to deliver a consistently positive experience, our brand value could suffer and our business may be adversely affected.
In addition, our ability to successfully develop new retailers in new markets may be adversely affected by a lack of awareness or acceptance of our brand in these new markets. To the extent that we are unable to foster name recognition and affinity for our brand in new markets, our growth may be significantly delayed or impaired.
As a result, adverse economic conditions in any of these areas could have a material adverse effect on our overall results of operations. In recent years, certain of these markets have been more negatively impacted by the housing decline, high unemployment rates and the overall economic crisis than other geographic areas. In addition, given our geographic concentration, negative publicity regarding any of our retailers in these areas could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations, as could other regional occurrences such as local strikes, terrorist attacks, increases in energy prices, adverse weather conditions, hurricanes, droughts or other natural or man-made disasters.
In particular, adverse weather conditions can impact guest traffic at our retailers, and, in more severe cases, cause temporary retail closures, sometimes for prolonged periods. Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, with retail sales typically higher during certain months, such as December. Adverse weather conditions during our most favorable months or periods may exacerbate the effect of adverse weather on guest traffic and may cause fluctuations in our operating results from quarter-to-quarter within a fiscal year.
Technology changes rapidly in our business, and if we fail to anticipate new technologies, the quality, timeliness and competitiveness of our products will suffer.
Rapid technology changes require us to anticipate which technologies and/or distribution platforms our products must take advantage of in order to make them competitive in the market at the time they are released. Therefore, we usually start our product development with a range of technical development goals that we hope to be able to achieve. We may not be able to achieve these goals, or our competition may be able to achieve them more quickly than we can. In either case, our products may be technologically inferior to competitive products, or less appealing to consumers, or both. If we cannot achieve our technology goals within the original development schedule of our products, then we may delay products until these technology goals can be achieved, which may delay or reduce revenue and increase our development expenses.
We rely upon third parties to provide distribution for our applications, and disruption in these services could harm our business.
We currently utilize, and plan on continuing to utilize over the current fiscal year, third-party networking providers and distribution through companies including, but not limited to, Apple and Google to distribute our technologies. If disruptions or capacity constraints occur, the Company may have no means of replacing these services, on a timely basis or at all. This could cause a material adverse condition for our operations and financial earnings.
14 |
We rely on third-party hosting and cloud computing providers to operate certain aspects of our business. Any failure, disruption or significant interruption in our network or hosting and cloud services could adversely impact our operations and harm our business.
Our technology infrastructure is critical to the performance of our mobile applications and customer satisfaction. Our mobile applications run on a complex distributed system, or what is commonly known as cloud computing. We own, operate and maintain elements of this system, but significant elements of this system are operated by third-parties that we do not control and which would require significant time to replace. We expect this dependence on third-parties to continue. In particular, a significant portion, if not almost all data storage, data processing and other computing services and systems is hosted by cloud computing providers. Any disruptions, outages and other performance problems relating to such services, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors and capacity constraints, could adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We could be harmed by improper disclosure or loss of sensitive or confidential company, employee, associate or customer data, including personal data.
In connection with the operation of our business, we plan to store, process and transmit data, including personal and payment information, about our employees, customers, associates and candidates, a portion of which is confidential and/or personally sensitive. Unauthorized disclosure or loss of sensitive or confidential data may occur through a variety of methods. These include, but are not limited to, systems failure, employee negligence, fraud or misappropriation, or unauthorized access to or through our information systems, whether by our employees or third parties, including a cyberattack by computer programmers, hackers, members of organized crime and/or state-sponsored organizations, who may develop and deploy viruses, worms or other malicious software programs.
Such disclosure, loss or breach could harm our reputation and subject us to government sanctions and liability under our contracts and laws that protect sensitive or personal data and confidential information, resulting in increased costs or loss of revenues. It is possible that security controls over sensitive or confidential data and other practices we and our third-party vendors follow may not prevent the improper access to, disclosure of, or loss of such information. The potential risk of security breaches and cyberattacks may increase as we introduce new services and offerings, such as mobile technology. Further, data privacy is subject to frequently changing rules and regulations, which sometimes conflict among the various jurisdictions in which we provide services. Any failure or perceived failure to successfully manage the collection, use, disclosure, or security of personal information or other privacy related matters, or any failure to comply with changing regulatory requirements in this area, could result in legal liability or impairment to our reputation in the marketplace.
We might not be able to successfully market our products.
We expend significant resources in our marketing efforts, using a variety of media, including social media venues such as Facebook and LinkedIn. In addition, we use targeted marketing on certain websites and have engaged two sales people in Europe and three sales people in the U.S. to market our products. We expect to continue to conduct brand awareness programs and guest initiatives to attract potential users. These initiatives may not be successful, resulting in expenses incurred without the benefit of substantial revenues. Additionally, some of our competitors have greater financial resources, which enable them to purchase significantly more advertising than we are able to purchase. Should our competitors increase spending on advertising and promotions or our advertising funds decrease for any reason, or should our advertising and promotions be less effective than our competitors, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our business operations and future development could be significantly disrupted if we lose key members of our management team.
The success of our business continues to depend to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our senior officers and key employees, both individually and as a group. Our future performance will be substantially dependent in particular on our ability to retain and motivate our Chief Executive Officer, and certain of our other senior executive officers. We currently do not have an employment agreement in place with these officers. The loss of the services of our Chief Executive Officer, senior officers or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business and plans for future development. We have no reason to believe that we will lose the services of any of these individuals in the foreseeable future; however, we currently have no effective replacement for any of these individuals due to their experience, reputation in the industry and special role in our operations. We also do not maintain any key man life insurance policies for any of our employees.
Our growth may strain our infrastructure and resources, which could slow our development of new retailers and adversely affect our ability to manage our existing retailers.
Our future growth may strain our retail management systems and resources, financial controls and information systems. Those demands on our infrastructure and resources may also adversely affect our ability to manage our existing retailers. If we fail to continue to improve our infrastructure or to manage other factors necessary for us to meet our expansion objectives, our operating results could be materially and adversely affected. Likewise, if sales decline, we may be unable to reduce our infrastructure quickly enough to prevent sales deleveraging, which would adversely affect our profitability.
15 |
Our business operations are conducted in multiple languages and could be disrupted due to miscommunications or translation errors.
The success of our business continues to depend on our marketing efforts in the United States, Europe and Israel, each of which is conducted in the local language. Miscommunications or inaccurate foreign language translations could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial conditions. Additionally, contracts, communications and complex technical information must be accurately translated into foreign languages.
We do not maintain theft or casualty insurance and only maintain modest liability and property insurance coverage and therefore could incur losses as a result of an uninsured loss.
We do not maintain theft or casualty insurance and only maintain modest liability and property insurance coverage. We cannot provide any assurance that we will not incur uninsured liabilities and losses as a result of the conduct of our business. Any such uninsured loss or liability could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property, which, in turn, could harm the value of our brands and adversely affect our business.
Our ability to implement our business plan successfully depends in part on our ability to build brand recognition using our trademarks, service marks and other proprietary intellectual property, including our names and logos. We plan to register a number of our trademarks; however, no assurance can be given that our trademark applications will be approved. We have been issued three patents, one of each in of Russia, Japan and the U.S., have one patent-pending submission and an additional patent application which is in process. No assurance can be given that our patent-pending submission or the additional patent application which is in process will be approved. If our patent-pending submission or the additional patent application which is in process are not approved, our ability to expand or develop our business may be negatively affected.
Third parties may also oppose our trademark or patent applications, or otherwise challenge our use of the trademarks or patents. In the event that our trademarks or patents are successfully challenged, we could be forced to rebrand our goods and services or redesign our technology, which could result in loss of brand recognition, and could require us to devote resources to advertising and marketing new brands and products.
If our efforts to register, maintain and protect our intellectual property are inadequate, or if any third party misappropriates, dilutes or infringes on our intellectual property, the value of our brands may be harmed, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and might prevent our brands from achieving or maintaining market acceptance. We may also face the risk of claims that we have infringed third parties’ intellectual property rights. If third parties claim that we infringe upon their intellectual property rights, our operating profits could be adversely affected. Any claims of intellectual property infringement, even those without merit, could be expensive and time consuming to defend, require us to rebrand our services, if feasible, divert management’s attention and resources or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements in order to obtain the right to use a third party’s intellectual property.
Any royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. A successful claim of infringement against us could result in our being required to pay significant damages, enter into costly license or royalty agreements, or stop the sale of certain products or services, any of which could have a negative impact on our operating profits and harm our future prospects.
Information technology system failures or breaches of our network security could interrupt our operations and adversely affect our business.
We will rely on our computer systems and network infrastructure across our operations. Our operations depend upon our ability to protect our computer equipment and systems against damage from physical theft, fire, power loss, telecommunications failure or other catastrophic events, as well as from internal and external security breaches, viruses, worms and other disruptive problems. Any damage or failure of our computer systems or network infrastructure that causes an interruption in our operations could have a material adverse effect on our business and subject us to litigation or actions by regulatory authorities. Although we employ both internal resources and external consultants to conduct auditing and testing for weaknesses in our systems, controls, firewalls and encryption and intend to maintain and upgrade our security technology and operational procedures to prevent such damage, breaches or other disruptive problems, there can be no assurance that these security measures will be successful.
We will continue to incur costs and be subject to various obligations as a result of being a public company, listed in the United States and in Israel.
We will continue to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a result of being a public company, listed in the United States and in Israel. Although we will incur costs each year associated with being a publicly-traded company, it is possible that our actual costs of being a publicly-traded company will vary from year to year and may be different than our estimates. In estimating these costs, we take into account expenses related to insurance, legal, accounting and compliance activities.
Furthermore, the need to maintain the corporate infrastructure demanded of a public company may divert management’s attention from implementing our growth strategy, which could prevent us from improving our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have made, and will continue to make, changes to our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and accounting systems to meet our reporting obligations as a U.S. publicly traded company. However, the measures we take may not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations as a publicly traded company.
We may require additional capital to finance our operations in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed and could be dilutive to existing stockholders.
We may require additional capital for future operations. We plan to finance anticipated ongoing expenses and capital requirements with funds generated from the following sources:
● | cash provided by operating activities; |
16 |
● | available cash and cash investments; and |
● | capital raised through debt and equity offerings. |
Current conditions in the capital markets are such that traditional sources of capital may not be available to us when needed or may be available only on unfavorable terms. Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets, economic conditions and a number of other factors, many of which are outside our control, and on our financial performance. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully raise additional capital at all or on terms that are acceptable to us. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, it may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Further, if we raise capital by issuing stock, the holdings of our existing stockholders will be diluted.
If we raise capital by issuing debt securities, such debt securities would rank senior to our common stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation. In addition, we may raise capital by issuing equity securities that may be senior to our common stock for the purposes of dividend and liquidating distributions, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Finally, upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities and lenders with respect to other borrowings will receive a distribution of our available assets prior to the holders of our common stock. Additional equity offerings may dilute the holdings of our existing stockholders or reduce the market price of our common stock, or both.
Our business is dependent upon continued market acceptance by consumers.
We are substantially dependent on continued market acceptance of our products by customers, and such customers are dependent upon regulatory and legislative forces. We cannot predict the future growth rate and size of this market. If we do not gain market acceptance of our applications, our business may be materially affected.
If we are able to expand our operations, we may be unable to successfully manage our future growth.
Since inception, we have been planning for the expansion of our brand. Any such growth could place increased strain on our management, operational, financial and other resources, and we will need to train, motivate, and manage employees, as well as attract management, sales, finance and accounting, international, technical, and other professionals. Any failure to expand these areas and implement appropriate procedures and controls in an efficient manner and at a pace consistent with our business objectives could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Any future or current litigation could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
From time to time we may be subject to litigation, including, among others, potential stockholder derivative actions. Risks associated with legal liability are difficult to assess and quantify, and their existence and magnitude can remain unknown for significant periods of time. To date we have obtained directors and officers liability (“D&O”) insurance to cover some of the risk exposure for our directors and officers . Such insurance generally pays the expenses (including amounts paid to plaintiffs, fines, and expenses including attorneys’ fees) of officers and directors who are the subject of a lawsuit as a result of their service to the Company. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to maintain this insurance at reasonable rates or at all, or in amounts adequate to cover such expenses should such a lawsuit occur. While neither Delaware law nor our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”) or Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”) require us to indemnify or advance expenses to our officers and directors involved in such a legal action, we expect that we would do so to the extent permitted by Delaware law. Without D&O insurance, the amounts we would pay to indemnify our officers and directors should they be subject to legal action based on their service to the Company could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Such lawsuits, and any related publicity, may result in substantial costs and, among other things, divert the attention of management and our employees. An unfavorable outcome in any claim or proceeding against us could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations for the period in which the unfavorable outcome occurs, and potentially in future periods. Further, any settlement announced by us may expose us to further claims against us by third parties seeking monetary or other damages which, even if unsuccessful, would divert management attention from the business and cause us to incur costs, possibly material, to defend such matters, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial position. See “Legal Proceedings” on page 6 for more information regarding the Company’s involvement in ongoing litigation matters.
Our prior operating results may not be indicative of our future results.
You should not consider prior operating results to be indicative of our future operating results. The timing and amount of future revenues will depend almost entirely on our ability to engage new retailers while maintaining a relationship with our existing retailers. Our future operating results will depend upon many other factors, including, but not limited to:
● | the level of product and price competition; |
● | our success in expanding our business network and managing our growth; |
● | the ability to hire qualified employees; and |
● | the timing of such hiring and our ability to control costs. |
17 |
Federal, state and local or Israeli tax rules may adversely impact our results of operations and financial position.
We are subject to federal, state and local taxes in the U.S., as well as local taxes in Israel in respect to our operations in Israel. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, if the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority disagrees with the positions we have taken on our tax returns, we could face additional tax liability, including interest and penalties. If material, payment of such additional amounts upon final adjudication of any disputes could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position. In addition, complying with new tax rules, laws or regulations could impact our financial condition, and increases to federal or state statutory tax rates and other changes in tax laws, rules or regulations may increase our effective tax rate. Any increase in our effective tax rate could have a material impact on our financial results.
Our management controls a large block of our common stock that will allow them to control us.
As of the date of this prospectus, members of our management team beneficially own approximately 12.53% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, two stockholders own approximately 26.83% of our outstanding common stock. As such, management and the two stockholders of the Company own approximately, in the aggregate, 39.36% of our voting power. As a result, management and the two stockholders may have the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval including:
● | election of our board of directors; |
● | removal of any of our directors; |
● | amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; and |
● | adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us. |
In addition, management’s and the two stockholders’ stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price. Any additional investors will own a minority percentage of our common stock and will have minority voting rights.
The auditors of our 2015 financial statements may discontinue their business.
We have been advised by the auditors for our 2015 financial statements that they plan to discontinue their business of providing financial and accounting services. Following any such discontinuance of their practice, it may be difficult, if not impossible, to obtain consents for the inclusion of their financial statements in our filings. Should we not be able to obtain their consents, there could be a delay in our ability to enter into future financing transactions prior to the filing of our 2017 financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K in 2018 unless our 2015 financial statements have been re-audited by another independent accounting firm in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We intend to work with the auditors for our 2016 financial statements for the audit of our 2017 financial statements, and we believe that we will be able to timely complete and file such financial statements and remain current in our financial and other reporting obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Risks Related to our Operations in Israel
The Company has facilities located in Israel, and therefore, political conditions in Israel may affect the Company’s operations and results.
The Company has facilities located in Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel will directly or indirectly affect the Company’s operations and results. Since the establishment of the State of Israel, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its Arab neighbors. An ongoing state of hostility, varying in degree and intensity has led to security and economic problems for Israel. For a number of years there have been continuing hostilities between Israel and the Palestinians. This includes hostilities with the Islamic movement Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which have adversely affected the peace process and at times resulted in armed conflicts. Such hostilities have negatively influenced Israel’s economy as well as impaired Israel’s relationships with several other countries. Israel also faces threats from Hezbollah militants in Lebanon, from ISIS and rebel forces in Syria, from the government of Iran and other potential threats from additional countries in the region. Moreover, some of Israel’s neighboring countries have recently undergone or are undergoing significant political changes. These political, economic and military conditions in Israel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth.
Israel’s economy may become unstable.
From time to time, Israel’s economy may experience inflation or deflation, low foreign exchange reserves, fluctuations in world commodity prices, military conflicts and civil unrest. For these and other reasons, the government of Israel has intervened in the economy employing fiscal and monetary policies, import duties, foreign currency restrictions, controls of wages, prices and foreign currency exchange rates and regulations regarding the lending limits of Israeli banks to companies considered to be in an affiliated group. The Israeli government has periodically changed its policies in these areas. Reoccurrence of previous destabilizing factors could make it more difficult for the Company to operate its business and could adversely affect its business.
Some of the Company’s employees and officers are obligated to perform military reserve duty in Israel.
Generally, Israeli adult male citizens and permanent residents are obligated to perform annual military reserve duty up to a specified age. They also may be called to active duty at any time under emergency circumstances, which could have a disruptive impact on the Company’s workforce .

It may be difficult to enforce a non-Israeli judgment against the Company or its officers and directors.
The operating subsidiary of the Company is incorporated in Israel. All of the Company’s executive officers and directors are not residents of the United States, and a substantial portion of the Company’s assets and the assets of its executive officers and directors are located outside the United States. Therefore, a judgment obtained against the Company, or any of these persons, including a judgment based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws, may not be collectible in the United States and may not necessarily be enforced by an Israeli court. It also may be difficult to affect service of process on these persons in the United States or to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Additionally, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to initiate an action with respect to U.S. securities laws in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws reasoning that Israel is not the most appropriate forum in which to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law often involves the testimony of expert witnesses, which can be a time consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. There is little binding case law in Israel that addresses the matters described above. As a result of the difficulty associated with enforcing a judgment against the Company in Israel, it may be impossible to collect any damages awarded by either a U.S. or foreign court.
Our international operations could expose us to additional risks, including exchange rate fluctuations, legal regulations and political or economic instability that could harm our business and operating results.
Our international operations expose us to the following risks which may have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results:
● | devaluations and fluctuations in currency exchange rates including fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the NIS; |
● | costs of compliance with local laws, including labor laws and intellectual property laws; |
● | compliance with domestic and foreign government policies, including compliance with Israeli securities laws and TASE; |
● | changes in trade regulations and procedures affecting approval, production, pricing, marketing, reimbursement for and access to, our products; |
● | compliance with applicable foreign anti-corruption laws, anti-trust/competition laws, anti-Boycott Israel law and anti-money laundering laws; and |
● | economic and geopolitical developments and conditions, including ongoing instability in global economies and financial markets, international hostilities, acts of terrorism and governmental reactions, inflation, and military and political alliances. |
Risks Related to the Common Stock
A more active, liquid trading market for our common stock may not develop, and the price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
Although our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, it has only been traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market since July 25, 2016. There has been relatively limited trading volume in the market for our common stock, and a more active, liquid public trading market may not develop or may not be sustained. Limited liquidity in the trading market for our common stock may adversely affect a stockholder’s ability to sell its shares of common stock at the time it wishes to sell them or at a price that it considers acceptable. If a more active, liquid public trading market does not develop, we may be limited in our ability to raise capital by selling shares of common stock and our ability to acquire other companies or assets by using shares of our common stock as consideration. In addition, if there is a thin trading market or “float” for our stock, the market price for our common stock may fluctuate significantly more than the stock market as a whole. Without a large float, our common stock would be less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership and, as a result, the trading prices of our common stock may be more volatile and it would be harder for you to liquidate any investment in our common stock. Furthermore, the stock market is subject to significant price and volume fluctuations, and the price of our common stock could fluctuate widely in response to several factors, including:
● | our quarterly or annual operating results; | |
● | changes in our earnings estimates; | |
● | investment recommendations by securities analysts following our business or our industry; | |
● | additions or departures of key personnel; | |
● | changes in the business, earnings estimates or market perceptions of our competitors; | |
● | our failure to achieve operating results consistent with securities analysts’ projections; | |
● | changes in industry, general market or economic conditions; and | |
● | announcements of legislative or regulatory changes. |
The stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in recent years that have significantly affected the quoted prices of the securities of many companies, including companies in the staffing industry. The changes often appear to occur without regard to specific operating performance. The price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with us and these fluctuations could materially reduce our stock price.

Sales by our stockholders of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
A substantial portion of our total outstanding shares of common stock may be sold into the market at any time. Most of these shares are held by three stockholders, one of which is also an executive officer of the Company. Although we believe that such executive officer has no current intention to sell a significant number of shares of our stock, we cannot provide any such assurance. In addition, we cannot provide assurance that the other two large stockholders of the Company have no current intention to sell a significant number of shares of our stock. If any of the three stockholders which hold most of our shares were to decide to sell large amounts of stock over a short period of time (presuming such sales were permitted) such sales could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
Further, the market price of our common stock could decline as a result of the perception that such sales could occur. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.
Our securities are traded on more than one market which may result in price variations .
Our securities have been trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market since July 2016 and on TASE since September 2005. Trading in our securities on such exchanges occurs in different currencies (U.S. dollars on NASDAQ and NIS on the TASE), and at different times (due to different time zones, trading days and public holidays in the United States and Israel). The trading prices of our securities on the two exchanges may differ due to the foregoing and other factors. Any decrease in the price of our shares on the TASE could cause a decrease in the trading price of our shares on NASDAQ and vice versa.
We are a smaller reporting company and, as a result of the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to such companies, our common stock may be less attractive to investors.
We are a smaller reporting company, (i.e. a company with “public float” held by non-affiliates with a market value of less than $75 million) and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies. We have elected to adopt these reduced disclosure requirements. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive as a result of our taking advantage of these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result of our choices, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
We do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain our future earnings, if any, in order to reinvest in the development and growth of our business and, therefore, do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and such other factors as our Board deems relevant. Accordingly, you may need to sell your shares of our common stock to realize a return on your investment, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price you paid for them.
We can sell additional shares of common stock without consulting stockholders and without offering shares to existing stockholders, which would result in dilution of stockholders’ interests in the Company and could depress our stock price.
Our Certificate of Incorporation currently authorizes 50,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 18,406,245 are currently outstanding, and our Board is authorized to issue additional shares of our common stock. In addition, the Company intends to file an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 100,000,000, as set forth in the preliminary information statement that the Company filed with the SEC on December 18, 2017. We intend to file such amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State 20 days after the mailing of our information statement pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act. The number of authorized shares of common stock will not be reduced in connection with the reverse stock split which was also included in such information statement, as discussed on page 9 of this prospectus.
Although our Board intends to utilize its reasonable business judgment to fulfill its fiduciary obligations to our then existing stockholders in connection with any future issuance of our capital stock, the future issuance of additional shares of our capital stock would cause immediate, and potentially substantial, dilution to our existing stockholders, which could also have a material effect on the market value of the shares.
Further, our shares do not have preemptive rights, which means we can sell shares of our capital stock to other persons without offering purchasers in this offering the right to purchase their proportionate share of such offered shares. Therefore, any additional sales of stock by us could dilute your ownership interest in our Company.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly.
We expect our operating results to be subject to quarterly fluctuations. Our net loss and other operating results will be affected by numerous factors, including:
● | variations in the level of expenses related to our development programs; |
● | any intellectual property infringement lawsuit in which we may become involved; |
● | regulatory developments affecting our products; and |
● | our execution of any collaborative, licensing or similar arrangements, and the timing of payments under these arrangements. |
20 |
If our quarterly operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our common stock could decline substantially. Furthermore, any quarterly fluctuations in our operating results may, in turn, cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.
If we fail to comply with the rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 related to accounting controls and procedures, or if we discover material weaknesses and deficiencies in our internal control and accounting procedures, our stock price could decline significantly and raising capital could be more difficult.
If we fail to comply with the rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 related to disclosure controls and procedures, or, if we discover material weaknesses and other deficiencies in our internal control and accounting procedures, our stock price could decline significantly and raising capital could be more difficult. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and a report by our independent auditors addressing these assessments. If material weaknesses or significant deficiencies are discovered or if we otherwise fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal control, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock could drop significantly.
Our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Delaware law may have anti-takeover effects that could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control, which may cause our stock price to decline.
Our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if closing such a transaction would be beneficial to our stockholders. Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Delaware law also could have the effect of discouraging potential acquisition proposals or making a tender offer or delaying or preventing a change in control, including changes a stockholder might consider favorable. Such provisions may also prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our management. In particular, the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Delaware law, as applicable, among other things:
● | provide the Board with the ability to alter the Bylaws without stockholder approval; |
● | place limitations on the removal of directors; and |
● | provide that vacancies on the board of directors may be filled by a majority of directors in office, although less than a quorum. |
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits “business combinations” between a publicly-held Delaware corporation and an “interested stockholder,” which is generally defined as a stockholder who becomes a beneficial owner of 15% or more of a Delaware corporation’s voting stock for a three-year period following the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder. These provisions are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our Board. These provisions may delay or prevent someone from acquiring or merging with us, which may cause the market price of our common stock and the value of our securities to decline. In addition, rules applicable to TASE listed companies also limit the terms permitted with respect to a new class of shares and prohibit any such new class of shares from having superior voting rights to the rights of the class of shares listed on TASE.
If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, our common stock may be delisted and the price of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.
On June 5, 2017, we received a written notice (the “June Notice”) from the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) that we were not in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), as we did not maintain a minimum market value of listed securities of $35 million for the preceding 30 consecutive business days. In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), we had a period of 180 calendar days, or until December 4, 2017 to regain compliance with the market value of listed securities requirement. On December 5, 2017, we received a second written notice from NASDAQ which indicated that because we did not regain compliance with the market value of listed securities requirement by December 4, 2017, our securities would be delisted from NASDAQ on December 14, 2017 unless we request an appeal of such determination on or prior to such date. In accordance with NASDAQ Rules and procedures, on December 12, 2017, we requested an appeal before the NASDAQ Hearings Panel of the determination to delist our securities from The NASDAQ Capital Market. A hearing on this matter is currently scheduled to be held on January 25, 2018. The appeal has the effect of staying the delisting of our securities pending a final written decisions by the NASDAQ Hearings Panel. Although we have requested an appeal before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, no assurance can be given that we will be successful in our appeal.
In addition, on September 26, 2017, we received a written notice (the “September Notice”) from NASDAQ that we were not in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of our common stock has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have a period of 180 calendar days, or until March 26, 2018, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least 10 consecutive business days during this 180 calendar day period. In the event we do not regain compliance by March 26, 2018, we may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period if we meet the continued listing standards, with the exception of bid price, for the NASDAQ Capital Market, and we provide written notice to NASDAQ of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. Although we intend to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock in a ratio to be determined by the Board, which ratio shall be not less than 1-for-2 and no more than 1-for-10, 20 days after the mailing of our information statement to our stockholders pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, there can be no assurance that such reverse stock split will enable the Company to regain compliance with NASDAQ minimum bid price requirement.
21 |
If our appeal with respect to our compliance with the market value of listed securities is not successful and/or we fail to regain compliance with the minimum bid price within the allotted compliance period(s), including any extensions that may be granted by NASDAQ or fail to comply with or other requirements for continued listing, our common stock may be delisted and the price of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted. A delisting of our common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market could materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, employees and fewer business development opportunities.
Our total market capitalization immediately after the proposed reverse stock split may be lower than immediately before the proposed reverse stock split.
The market price per share of our common stock after the proposed reverse stock split may not increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the reverse stock split, if and when such reverse stock split is effected. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our common stock (the aggregate value of all of our common stock at the then existing market price) after the proposed reverse stock split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the proposed reverse stock split. There are numerous factors and contingencies that could affect our stock price following a proposed reverse stock split, including, but not limited to, the status of the market for our stock at the time, our reported results of operations in future periods, and general economic, market and industry conditions, and the market price of our common stock may not be sustainable at the bid price following such reverse stock split.
The exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options will have a dilutive effect on the percentage ownership of our capital stock by existing stockholders.
As of September 30, 2017, we had outstanding warrants to acquire 2,480,605 shares of our common stock and stock options to purchase 3,115,500 shares of our common stock (not including options to purchase an aggregate of 1,380,000 shares of common stock which are subject to approval by TASE and an increase in the common stock reserve pursuant to the Company’s 2017 Consultant Equity Incentive Plan), in addition to the common warrants and pre-funded warrants that we are offering hereunder. The expiration of the term of such options and warrants range from December 2017 to July 2022. If a significant number of such warrants and stock options are exercised by the holders, the percentage of our common stock owned by our existing stockholders will be diluted.
Risks Related to this Offering
Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.
Our management will have broad discretion as to the application of the net proceeds and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering. Our stockholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds. Moreover, our management may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that may not increase our results of operations or the market value of our common stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, delay the development of our products and cause the price of our common stock to decline.
You may incur substantial dilution as a result of this offering and future equity issuance.
Based on our capitalization as of September 30, 2017, purchasers of our securities in this offering will incur immediate dilution. See “Dilution” on page 25 for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur in this offering.
In addition to this offering, subject to market conditions and other factors, we may pursue additional financings in the future, as we continue to build and expand our business. In future years, we will likely need to raise additional capital to finance our operations. Accordingly, we may conduct future offerings of equity or debt securities. The exercise of outstanding options and warrants and future equity issuances will result in dilution to investors. In addition, the market price of our common stock could fall as a result of resales of any of these shares of common stock due to an increased number of shares of common stock available for sale in the market.
The common warrants and pre-funded warrants may not have any value.
The common warrants are exercisable at a price of $[ ] and the pre-funded warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.001. In the event that our common stock price does not exceed the foregoing exercise prices during the period when such warrants are exercisable, such warrants may not have any value.
There is no public market for the common warrants or pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of our common stock being offered by us in this offering.
There is no established public trading market for the common warrants and the pre-funded warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the common warrants or pre-funded warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system, including The NASDAQ Capital Market. Without an active market, the liquidity of the common warrants and pre-funded warrants will be limited.
22 |
The common warrants and pre-funded warrants are speculative in nature.
The common warrants and pre-funded warrants do not confer any rights of common stock ownership on their holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of common stock at a fixed price, and in the case of common warrants, for a limited period of time. Specifically, commencing on the date of issuance, holders of the common warrants may exercise their right to acquire the common stock and pay an exercise price of $[ ] per share, subject to certain adjustments, prior to five years from the date of issuance, after which date any unexercised common warrants will expire and have no further value. Moreover, following this offering, the market value of the common warrants and pre-funded warrants, if any, is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the market value of the common warrants or pre-funded warrants will equal or exceed their imputed offering price. The common warrants and pre-funded warrants will not be listed or quoted for trading on any market or exchange. There can be no assurance that the market price of the common stock will ever equal or exceed the exercise price of the common warrants or pre-funded warrants, and consequently, whether it will ever be profitable for holders of the common warrants or pre-funded warrants to exercise such warrants.
We will need to record additional debt on our balance sheet.
Part of the proceeds of this offering will be used to repay $666,666 in principal amount of promissory notes that we sold to various institutional investors in our October 2017 private placement of securities. After such repayment, the aggregate outstanding principal amounts of the promissory notes sold in our October 2017 private placement of securities will be $666,667 which will be reflected on our 2017 year-end financial statements. The promissory notes were initially due and payable upon the earlier of (a) the closing of this offering or (b) February 28, 2018. We have received a waiver from all of the holders of the promissory notes such that the aggregate outstanding principal amounts of the promissory notes, or $666,667 shall be due upon the earlier of (x) the closing of our next offering or (y) March 31, 2018. If our next offering does not close by March 31, 2018, we do not expect that we will have sufficient assets to repay such notes and that there will be an event of default thereunder. If there is an event of default, the notes will accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The additional debt could also reduce funds available for working capital and other corporate purposes and make it more difficult for us to find and secure alternative sources of capital to finance our operations.
The securities offered pursuant to this offering will be subject to TASE approval.
New issuances of securities by the Company must be approved by TASE prior to issuance. Accordingly, the securities offered hereby are subject to TASE approval. In the event that the Company does not receive TASE approval for the issuance of the securities offered hereby, the Company may not issue such securities.
In making your investment decision, you should not rely on press releases issued by the Company. You should rely only on statements made in this prospectus in determining whether to purchase our securities.
On November 30, 2017 and December 8, 2017, the Company issued press releases regarding its upcoming participation in the international CES tradeshow in Las Vegas in January 2018, and its intended release of new technology developments at such tradeshow. The Company issued such communication to provide information to customers and interested parties that may be attending the international CES tradeshow regarding a new business development in reliance upon existing securities laws and guidance governing such communications.
The Company has in the past, and may continue to issue press releases in the ordinary course, such as the press release described above, or receive, media coverage, including coverage that is not directly attributable to statements made by our officers and employees. The information in such press releases or coverage should not be considered by prospective investors in making an investment decisions relating to purchasing securities in this offering. Rather, prospective investors should carefully evaluate all of the information in this prospectus, and are cautioned to consider the risks and uncertainties disclosed in this Risk Factors section and elsewhere in this prospectus.

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $[●] million if we sell all of the securities we are offering, based upon the assumed public offering price of $[●] per share of common stock and $[●] per pre-funded warrant, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. If we sell 75%, 50% or 25% of the maximum amount offered, our net proceeds would be approximately $[●], $[●] or $[●], respectively, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We will receive additional proceeds from the exercise of the prepaid warrants and common warrants issuable in connection with this offering only if such prepaid and common warrants are exercised at their exercise prices of $0.001 and $[●], respectively, and the holders of such warrants pay the exercise price in cash upon such exercise and do not utilize the cashless exercise provision of with respect to the common warrants. Such proceeds with respect to the common warrants could not exceed $[●].
We will use the proceeds of the offering to repay $666,666 in principal amount of promissory notes that we sold to various institutional investors in our October 2017 private placement of securities. Such notes were issued at a 10% original issue discount, with no ordinary interest, and were initially due on the earlier of February 28, 2019 or the completion of an equity offering of our securities (of which this offering qualifies). We have received a waiver from all of the holders of the promissory notes such that the aggregate outstanding principal amounts of the promissory notes, or $666,667 shall be due upon the earlier of the closing of our next offering or March 31, 2018.
We will also pay the placement agent an additional $120,000 in fees for its services as the sole placement agent in connection with such October 2017 private placement, of which $60,000 will become due and payable upon the closing of this offering and $60,000 will become due and payable upon the closing of our next offering in accordance with our agreement with the placement agent. Even if we raise less than the maximum amount offered, we will still use the proceeds to repay $666,666 in principal amount of promissory notes and $60,000 in fees payable to the placement agent. See “Plan of Distribution” on page 32.
We intend to use net proceeds from this offering (after the repayment of the aforementioned promissory notes and related fees to the placement agent) for working capital, repayment of trade payables and general corporate purposes. We have not yet determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for any particular purpose or the timing of these expenditures. Accordingly, our management will have significant discretion and flexibility in applying the net proceeds from the sale of these securities. See “Risk Factors” for a discussion of certain risks that may affect our intended use of the net proceeds from this offering.
Our expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business condition. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot currently allocate specific percentages of the net proceeds that we may use for the purposes specified above, and we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this offering, or the amounts that we will actually spend on the uses set forth above. The amounts and timing of our actual use of the net proceeds will vary depending on numerous factors, including our ability to obtain additional financing. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes, and our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds from this offering.
Pending the use of the net proceeds from this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments.

If you purchase our securities in this offering, you will experience dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock and/or pre-funded warrants you purchase to the extent of the difference between the combined public offering price per share and related warrant and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering. The net tangible book value of our common stock on September 30, 2017, was approximately $(492,000), or approximately $(0.027) per share. Net tangible book value per share is equal to the amount of our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, divided by the aggregate number of shares of our common stock outstanding.
After giving effect to the assumed sale by us of [ ] shares of common stock and/or pre-funded warrants, and common warrants to purchase up to [ ] shares of common stock in this offering at an assumed combined public offering price of $[ ] per share and related warrants, or $[ ] per pre-funded warrant and related warrants, assuming no value is attributed to the warrants, and such warrants are accounted for and classified as equity, and after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2017, would have been approximately $[ ], or approximately $[ ] per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $[ ] per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of approximately $[ ] per share to new investors purchasing shares of our common stock and warrants in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution, assuming no sale of pre-funded warrants:

The foregoing tables do not take into account further dilution to new investors that could occur upon the exercise of the warrants offered hereby or outstanding options and warrants having a per share exercise price less than the public offering price per share in this offering. To the extent that outstanding options or warrants are exercised, or restricted stock units vest and settle, investors purchasing our common stock will experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.
The table and discussion above are based on 18,406,245 shares outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and excludes as of that date:
● | 925,500 6 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options as of September 30, 2017 under our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan at a price of $1.21; |
● | 2,190,000 7 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options as of September 30, 2017 under our 2017 Consultant Equity Incentive Plan at prices ranging from $1.50 to $5.10 8 ; and |
● | 1,591,717 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2017 at prices ranging from $0.04 to $5.10 9 . |
All share numbers included in this prospectus are included on a pre-reverse stock split basis without taking into account a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, which reverse stock split shall occur as such time as the Board, in its sole discretion determines, if at all. The reverse stock split shall occur no sooner than 20 days after the mailing of the Company’s information statement pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, which the Company plans to mail on or around December 29, 2017 as discussed on page 9 of this prospectus.

(2) | The calculation in this column is based upon 18,406,245 shares of common stock outstanding on December 12, 2017. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to the subject securities. Shares of common stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of December 12, 2017 are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage beneficial ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage beneficial ownership of any other person. All share numbers included in this prospectus are included on a pre-reverse stock split basis without taking into account a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, which reverse stock split shall occur as such time as the Board, in its sole discretion determines, if at all. The reverse stock split shall occur no sooner than 20 days after the mailing of the Company’s information statement pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, which we plan to mail on or around December 29, 2017 as discussed on page 9 of this prospectus. If the reverse stock split ratio is 1-for-2, then upon effectiveness of such reverse stock split, 9,197,408 shares will be issued and outstanding. If the reverse stock split ratio is 1-for-5, then upon effectiveness of such reverse stock split, 3,678,963 shares will be issued and outstanding. If the reverse stock split ratio is 1-for-10, then upon effectiveness of such reverse stock split, 1,839,482 shares will be issued and outstanding. |

Common Stock
On March 22, 2017, we filed an amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation we are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. On December 18, 2017, we filed a preliminary information statement with the SEC in accordance with which, among other things, we intend to file an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized common stock to 100,000,000 shares from 50,000,000 shares. We intend to file such amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State 20 days after the mailing of our information statement pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act. The number of authorized shares of common stock will not be reduced in connection with the reverse stock split which was also included in such information statement, as discussed on page 9 of this prospectus.
The following is qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and our bylaws, and by the provisions of applicable law. A copy of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation was filed as Exhibit 3.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 23, 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, and do not have cumulative voting rights. Generally, in matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast authorizes such an action, except where Delaware General Corporation Law prescribes a different percentage of votes or a different exercise of voting power. For the election of directors, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive, as, when and if declared by our Board of directors from time to time, such dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property from our assets or funds legally available for such purposes.
Except as set forth herein, no preemptive, conversion, or other subscription rights apply to our common stock. All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of pre-funded warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the pre-funded warrants.
Duration and Exercise Price. Each pre-funded warrant offered hereby will have an initial exercise price per share equal to $[ ] (which includes a nominal value of $0.001 per share of common stock issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrant (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Prepayment”) to be paid on or prior to the issuance date of the pre-funded warrant). The Pre-Funded Warrant Prepayment is nonrefundable, whether or not the pre-funded warrant is exercised in full. The pre-funded warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock and the exercise price. The pre-funded warrants will be issued separately from the accompanying common warrants, and may be transferred separately immediately thereafter.
Exercisability. The pre-funded warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise. A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the pre-funded warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99 % of the outstanding common stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s pre-funded warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the pre-funded warrants. Purchasers of pre-funded warrants in this offering may also elect prior to the issuance of the pre-funded warrants to have the initial exercise limitation set at 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a pre-funded warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will either pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price or round up to the next whole share.

Common Warrants
The following summary of certain terms and provisions of common warrants that are being offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the common warrants, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of common warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the common warrants.
Form. There is no agent for the common warrants or pre-funded warrants. The common warrants and pre-funded warrants will be issued as individual warrant agreements to the investors. The material terms and provisions of the common warrants and pre-funded warrants offered hereby are summarized below.
On or prior to the issuance date of the common warrant, the holder thereof shall pay a nominal value of $0.001 per share of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant (the “Common Warrant Nominal Per Share Amount”, or the “Common Warrant Prepayment”). The Common Warrant Prepayment is nonrefundable, whether or not the common warrant is exercised in full. Upon exercise of the common warrant, the holder thereof shall pay an exercise price equal to $[●] per share (less the Common Warrant Prepayment Nominal Per Share Amount”). The common warrants shall be exercisable at any time for up to five years after the date of the closing of this offering. The holder of a common warrant will not be deemed a holder of our underlying common stock until the common warrant is exercised, except as set forth in the common warrant.
Duration . The common warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock and the exercise price. The common warrants will be issued separately from the common stock, and may be transferred separately immediately thereafter. A common warrant to purchase [●] share of our common stock will be issued for every one share of common stock or pre-funded warrant purchased in this offering.
Exercisability . The common warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the common warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s common warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the common warrants. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a common warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will either pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price or round up to the next whole share.
Cashless Exercise . If, at the time a holder exercises its common warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the common warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the common warrants.
Transferability . Subject to applicable laws, a common warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the common warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.
Exchange Listing . We do not intend to list the common warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.
Right as a Stockholder . Except as otherwise provided in the common warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holders of the common warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise their common warrants.

Certain Effects of Authorized but Unissued Stock
We have shares of common stock available for future issuance without stockholder approval. We may issue the shares of authorized capital stock for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public or private offerings to raise additional capital or to facilitate corporate acquisitions or for payment as a dividend on our capital stock.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Delaware Law
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, or Section 203. Under Section 203, we would generally be prohibited from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the time that this stockholder became an interested stockholder unless:
● | prior to this time, our Board approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; | |
● | upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or | |
● | at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by our Board and authorized at a special or annual stockholders meeting, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
Under Section 203, a “business combination” includes:
● | any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; | |
● | any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder; | |
● | any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder, subject to limited exceptions; | |
● | any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or | |
● | the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation. |
In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as an entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with various actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, a derivative action, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, a vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws provide that we will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time, each person that such section grants us the power to indemnify.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors and officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Roth Capital Partners, LLC, which we refer to as the placement agent, has agreed to act as the exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering subject to the terms and conditions of a placement agency agreement, dated , 2017. The placement agent may engage selected dealers to assist in the placement of the shares of our common stock and warrants offered pursuant to this prospectus. The placement agent is not purchasing or selling any shares of our common stock or warrants offered by this prospectus, nor is it required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the shares of our common stock or warrants, but has agreed to use its commercially reasonable “best efforts” to arrange for the sale of all of the shares of our common stock and warrants offered hereby.
We will enter into purchase agreements directly with investors in connection with this offering and we may not sell the entire amount of shares and warrants offered pursuant to this prospectus. The public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus has been determined based upon arm’s-length negotiations between the purchasers and us.
Placement Agent’s Fees and Expenses
We have agreed to pay the placement agent an aggregate cash placement fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the shares and warrants in this offering.
The following table shows the per share or pre-funded warrant, and total cash placement agent’s fees we will pay to the placement agent in connection with the sale of the shares of our common stock and warrants offered pursuant to this prospectus, assuming the purchase of all of the shares and warrants offered hereby:
Per Share or Pre-Funded Warrant | $ | |||
Total | $ |
Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing in this offering, the actual total placement agent fees, if any, are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amount set forth above. We have also agreed to reimburse the placement agent for certain of its out-of-pocket expenses in an aggregate amount not to exceed $90,000.
We have also agreed to grant the placement agent a right of first refusal, for 12 months from the date of the placement agency agreement, to act as lead book-running manager for any underwritten public offering, exclusive placement agent or financial advisor in connection with any private offering of securities, and as financial advisor in connection with a sale or similar transaction involving the Company. Any such engagement would be pursuant to a separate agreement that provides for customary fees and other terms and conditions agreed upon between the Company and the placement agent. Such right of first refusal shall not survive if the placement agency agreement is terminated for cause by the Company in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(D)(ii).
Our obligation to issue and sell the shares and warrants offered hereby to the purchasers is subject to the conditions set forth in the purchase agreements, which may be waived by us at our discretion. A purchaser’s obligation to purchase the shares and warrants offered hereby is subject to the conditions set forth in his or her purchase agreement as well, which may also be waived.
In addition, at the closing of the offering, we will pay the placement agent a fee of $60,000 in connection with our private placement of non-convertible notes and warrants that closed on October 30, 2017, for which it also served as the placement agent. An aggregate of $120,000 of placement agent fees are payable in connection with the October 2017 private placement. Under the terms of our October 2, 2017 engagement letter with the placement agent, such fees were due and payable upon the earlier of (a) the February 28, 2018 maturity date of the notes, and (b) the first offering of our equity securities or any equity-linked or related securities with aggregate gross proceeds of at least $1 million. However, in the placement agency agreement for this offering, we agreed that $60,000 of the fees from our October 2017 private placement shall become due and payable at the closing of this offering, and the balance of such fee, or $60,000, will become due and payable upon the closing of our next public or private offering of securities.
Pursuant to the terms of our October 2, 2017 engagement letter with the placement agent, if we decide to make an offering of our equity, equity-linked or debt securities at any time until the six-month anniversary of the October 2017 private placement (or April 30, 2018), we granted the placement agent the right to act as the exclusive placement agent or lead book-running manager, as applicable, for such offering under a separate agreement containing terms and conditions customary for the placement agent and mutually agreed upon by us and the placement agent.
We currently anticipate that the sale of the shares and warrants offered by this prospectus will be completed on or about , 2017. We estimate the total offering expenses of this offering that will be payable by us, excluding the placement agent’s fees, will be approximately $ , which includes legal and printing costs, various other fees and reimbursement of the placements agent’s expenses. At the closing, The Depository Trust Company will credit the shares of common stock to the respective accounts of the purchasers. We will mail the warrants directly to the investors at the respective addresses set forth in their purchase agreements with us.
Indemnification
We have agreed to indemnify the placement agent against liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We have also agreed to contribute to payments the placement agent may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.

Electronic Distribution
This prospectus may be made available in electronic format on websites or through other online services maintained by the placement agent, or by an affiliate. Other than this prospectus in electronic format, the information on the placement agent’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by the placement agent is not part of this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the placement agent, and should not be relied upon by investors.
The foregoing does not purport to be a complete statement of the terms and conditions of the placement agency agreement and purchase agreements. A copy of the placement agency agreement and the form of purchase agreement with the purchasers are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information” on page 34.
Regulation M Restrictions
The placement agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by it and any profit realized on the resale of the shares and warrants sold by it while acting as a principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. As an underwriter, the placement agent would be required to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our common stock and warrants by the placement agent acting as a principal. Under these rules and regulations, the placement agent:
● | must not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities; and | |
● | must not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities, other than as permitted under the Exchange Act, until it has completed its participation in the distribution. |
Passive Market Making
In connection with this offering, the placement agent may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of the shares of common stock and warrants and extending through the completion of the distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.
Other
From time to time, the placement agent and its affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, various investment banking, financial advisory and other services to us and our affiliates for which services they have received, and may in the future receive, customary fees. In the course of their businesses, the placement agent and its affiliates may actively trade our securities or loans for their own account or for the accounts of customers, and, accordingly, the placement agent and its affiliates may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities or loans. Except for services provided in connection with this offering, and except as set forth in this paragraph, the placement agent has not provided any investment banking or other financial services during the 180-day period preceding the date of this prospectus supplement and we do not expect to retain the placement agent to perform any investment banking or other financial services for at least 90 days after the date of this prospectus supplement. As disclosed above, the placement agent acted as the sole placement agent in the private placement of our non-convertible notes and warrants which closed on October 30, 2017, with an aggregate purchase price for such securities of $1,200,000 (excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the warrants issued in such offering). As discussed above, a placement agent fee of $120,000 became payable as a result of such offering, $60,000 of which will be paid at the closing of this offering on or around , 2017 and the balance of such fee, or $60,000, will become due and payable upon the closing of our next public or private offering of securities. In addition, we reimbursed the placement agent for $25,000 of legal expenses at the closing of the October 2017 private placement. Furthermore, under the terms of the October 2, 2017 engagement letter, if we decide to make an offering of our equity, equity-linked or debt securities at any time until the six-month anniversary of the October 2017 private placement (or April 30, 2018), we have granted the placement agent the right to act as the exclusive placement agent or lead book-running manager, as applicable, for such offering under a separate agreement containing terms and conditions customary for the placement agent and mutually agreed upon by us and the placement agent.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 (“Section 145”) of the DGCL permits indemnification of directors, officers, agents and controlling persons of a corporation under certain conditions and subject to certain limitations. Section 145 empowers a corporation to 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 whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or agent of the corporation or another enterprise if serving at the request of the corporation. Depending on the character of the proceeding, a corporation may indemnify against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she 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 his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that despite the adjudication of liability such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper. Section 145 further provides that to the extent a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. The foregoing is only a summary of the described sections of the Delaware General Corporation Law and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such sections.
The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that it shall indemnify each of its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145.
The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that no current or former director of the Company shall be personally liable to it or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.
In addition to the foregoing, the Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance to cover risk exposure for its directors and officers .
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to My Size’s directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, My Size has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The Company has sold the securities described below within the past three years which were not registered under the Securities Act. Unless otherwise indicated, all of the sales listed below were made pursuant to an exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder.

II- 2 |
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

(d) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

PLACEMENT AGENCY AGREEMENT
December __, 2017
Roth Capital Partners, LLC
888 San Clemente Drive
Newport Beach, CA 92660
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Subject to the terms and conditions herein (this “ Agreement ”), My Size, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby agrees to sell registered securities of the Company, consisting of up to _________ shares (the “ Shares ”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”) and/or pre-funded warrants to purchase Common Stock, with an exercise price of $0.001 per share (the “ Pre-Funded Warrants ”, as exercised, the “ Pre-Funded Warrant Shares ”), and common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of ___________ shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $_____ per share (the “ Common Warrants ”, as exercised, the “ Common Warrant Shares ”) directly to various investors (each, an “ Investor ” and, collectively, the “ Investors ”) through Roth Capital Partners, LLC, as placement agent (the “ Placement Agent ”). The Pre-Funded Warrants and the Common Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the “ Warrants ”, the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares and the Common Warrant Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “ Warrant Shares ”, the Warrants and the Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “ Primary Securities ” and the Primary Securities, together with the Warrant Shares, are collectively referred to herein as the “ Securities ”. For each Pre-Funded Warrant Share issuable upon exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant sold (without regard to any limitation on exercise set forth therein), the number Shares will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. The documents executed and delivered by the Company and the Investors in connection with the Offering (as defined below), including, without limitation, a securities purchase agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), the Common Warrants, and the Pre-Funded Warrants shall be collectively referred to herein as the “ Transaction Documents .” The purchase price to the Investors for each Share and accompanying ___ of a Common Warrant is $____, and for each Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying ___ of a Common Warrant is $_____. As required by the rules and regulations of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, the nominal value of $0.001 for each Warrant Share issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without regard to any limitation on exercise set forth therein) shall be prepaid to the Company at the Closing (as defined below) as part of the purchase price described in the immediately preceding sentence. The Placement Agent may retain other brokers or dealers to act as sub-agents or selected-dealers on its behalf in connection with the Offering.
The Company hereby confirms its agreement with the Placement Agent as follows:
Section 1. Agreement to Act as Placement Agent .
(a) On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained, and subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Placement Agent shall be the exclusive Placement Agent in connection with the offering and sale by the Company of the Securities pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-221741) (as amended from time to time and including the exhibits thereto at any given time, the “ Registration Statement ”), with the terms of such offering (the “ Offering ”) to be subject to market conditions and negotiations between the Company, the Placement Agent and the prospective Investors. The Placement Agent will act on a reasonable best efforts basis and the Company agrees and acknowledges that there is no guarantee of the successful placement of the Securities, or any portion thereof, in the prospective Offering. Under no circumstances will the Placement Agent or any of its “Affiliates” (as defined below) be obligated to underwrite or purchase any of the Securities for its own account or otherwise provide any financing. The Placement Agent shall act solely as the Company’s agent and not as principal. The Placement Agent shall have no authority to bind the Company with respect to any prospective offer to purchase Securities and the Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Securities and may reject any such offer, in whole or in part. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the Securities shall be made at one or more closings (each a “ Closing ” and the date on which each Closing occurs, a “ Closing Date ”). As compensation for services rendered, on each Closing Date, the Company shall pay to the Placement Agent the fees and expenses set forth below:
(i) A cash fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Securities at the Closing.
1 |
(ii) The Company also agrees to reimburse Placement Agent’s expenses (with supporting invoices/receipts) up to a maximum of $90,000, payable immediately upon a Closing of the Offering.
(b) In addition to the foregoing fees and expenses, the Company acknowledges that at the first Closing, the Company shall pay the Placement Agent an additional $60,000, representing fees earned by the Placement Agent for serving as placement agent to the Company in the private placement of the Company’s securities pursuant to its securities purchase agreement dated October 26, 2017 (the “ October 2017 Placement ”). The balance of the fees payable to the Placement Agent pursuant to the October 2017 Placement, or $60,000, shall be payable upon the closing of the Company’s next public or private offering of securities, including, without limitation, any Future Offering (as defined below).
(c) The term of the Placement Agent’s exclusive engagement will be until the completion of the Offering. The Placement Agent shall be entitled to collect all fees under this Agreement earned through termination. In addition to the foregoing, the Company hereby grants to the Placement Agent the exclusive right (such right, the “ Right of First Refusal ”), for the twelve (12) month period commencing on the date hereof, to provide investment banking services to the Company on an exclusive basis in all matters involving the Company’s equity securities or other instruments that may at any time be convertible into, exchangeable for, or otherwise entitle the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, equity securities of the Company, for which investment banking services are sought by the Company (a “ Future Offering ”). In connection with the Right of First Refusal, investment banking services shall include, without limitation, (i) acting as lead, book-running manager for any underwritten public offering; (ii) acting as exclusive placement agent or financial advisor in connection with any private offering of securities of the Company; and (iii) acting as financial advisor in connection with any sale or other transfer by the Company, directly or indirectly, of a majority or controlling portion of its capital stock or assets to another entity, any purchase or other transfer by another entity, directly or indirectly, of a majority or controlling portion of the capital stock or assets of the Company, and any merger or consolidation of the Company with another entity. At any time during such period that the Company contemplates conducting a Future Offering, the Company shall deliver to the Placement Agent a written notice (the “ Notice ”) stating its intention to conduct the Future Offering, the material terms and conditions thereof, including the amount to be raised and the type of security to be issued and the compensation requested by the competing broker-dealer firm if any, and an offer to the Placement Agent to manage the Future Offering pursuant to this Right of First Refusal. At any time within 30 days after receipt of the Notice, the Placement Agent may, by giving written notice to the Company, elect to exercise this Right of First Refusal. The failure of the Placement Agent to exercise this Right of First Refusal within such 30 day period will be deemed a rejection of the offer solely with respect to the applicable Future Offering. Any decision by the Placement Agent to act in any such capacity shall be contained in separate agreements, which agreements would contain, among other matters, provisions for customary fees for transactions of similar size and nature, as may be mutually agreed upon, and indemnification of the Placement Agent and its Affiliates and shall be subject to general market conditions. If the Placement Agent declines to exercise the Right of First Refusal (which it may do in its sole and absolute discretion), the Company shall have the right to retain any other person or persons to provide such services on terms and conditions which are not materially more favorable to such other person or persons than the terms declined by the Placement Agent.
(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the ability of the Placement Agent or its Affiliates to pursue, investigate, analyze, invest in, or engage in investment banking, financial advisory or any other business relationship with Persons (as defined below) other than the Company. As used herein (i) “Persons” means an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind and (ii) “Affiliate” means any Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a Person as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”).

All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included,” “described,” “referenced,” “set forth” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be.

21 |
(b) Upon receipt by an Indemnified Person of actual notice of an Action against such Indemnified Person with respect to which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing; provided that failure by any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any liability which the Company may have on account of this indemnity or otherwise to such Indemnified Person, except to the extent the Company shall have been prejudiced by such failure. The Company shall, if requested by the Placement Agent, assume the defense of any such Action including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Placement Agent, which counsel may also be counsel to the Company. Any Indemnified Person 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 Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company has failed promptly to assume the defense and employ counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such Action (including any impeded parties) include such Indemnified Person and the Company, and such Indemnified Person shall have been advised in the reasonable opinion of counsel that there is an actual conflict of interest that prevents the counsel selected by the Company from representing both the Company (or another client of such counsel) and any Indemnified Person; provided that the Company shall not in such event be responsible hereunder for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of separate counsel for all Indemnified Persons in connection with any Action or related Actions, in addition to any local counsel.

In addition, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened Action in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from all Liabilities arising out of such Action for which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder. The indemnification required hereby shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.
(c) In the event that the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to an Indemnified Person other than in accordance with this Agreement, the Company shall contribute to the Liabilities and Expenses paid or payable by such Indemnified Person in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and to the Placement Agent and any other Indemnified Person, on the other hand, of the matters contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, or (ii) if the allocation provided by the immediately preceding clause is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Placement Agent and any other Indemnified Person, on the other hand, in connection with the matters as to which such Liabilities or Expenses relate, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that in no event shall the Company contribute less than the amount necessary to ensure that all Indemnified Persons, in the aggregate, are not liable for any Liabilities and Expenses in excess of the amount of fees actually received by the Placement Agent pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and to the Placement Agent on the other hand, of the matters contemplated by this Agreement and in the Transaction Documents shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value paid or contemplated to be paid to or received or contemplated to be received by the Company in the transaction or transactions that are within the scope of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, whether or not any such transaction is consummated, bears to (b) the fees paid to the Placement Agent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act, as amended, shall be entitled to contribution from a party who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation.
(d) The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company for or in connection with advice or services rendered or to be rendered by any Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, the transactions contemplated thereby or any Indemnified Person’s actions or inactions in connection with any such advice, services or transactions except for Liabilities (and related Expenses) of the Company that are finally judicially determined to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with any such advice, actions, inactions or services.
22 |

Section 8. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery . The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or any person controlling the Company, of its officers, and of the Placement Agent set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Placement Agent, the Company, or any of its or their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a) Mechanics of Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date (an “ Exercise Date ”), in whole or in part, by delivery (whether via facsimile or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. Within one (1) Trading Day following an exercise of this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was so exercised (the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ”) in cash or via wire transfer of immediately available funds if the Holder did not notify the Company in such Exercise Notice that such exercise was made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. On or before the first (1 st ) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B , to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Exercise Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade of such Warrant Shares initiated on the applicable Exercise Date), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise and upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company by the Holder, then, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in the case where an exercise of this Warrant is validly made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, the Company’s failure to deliver Warrant Shares to the Holder on or prior to the later of (i) two (2) Trading Days after receipt of the applicable Exercise Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade of such Warrant Shares initiated on the applicable Exercise Date) and (ii) one (1) Trading Day after the Company’s receipt of the Aggregate Exercise Price (or valid notice of a Cashless Exercise) (such later date, the “ Share Delivery Date ”) shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Warrant. From the Issuance Date through and including the Expiration Date, the Company shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in the DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program.
(b) Exercise Price . For purposes of this Warrant, “ Exercise Price ” means $0.001, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(c) Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities . If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled and register such Warrant Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for such number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant (as the case may be) or (II) if the Registration Statement (or prospectus contained therein) covering the issuance of the Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “ Unavailable Warrant Shares ”) is not available for the issuance of such Unavailable Warrant Shares and the Company fails to promptly (x) so notify the Holder and (y) deliver the Warrant Shares electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a “ Notice Failure ” and together with the event described in clause (I) above, a “ Delivery Failure ”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (X) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Date and during such Delivery Failure an amount equal to 2% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Exercise Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date, and (Y) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Exercise Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the voiding of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Date either (I) the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below or (II) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Share Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Delivery Failure or Notice Failure, as applicable (a “ Buy-In ”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such Warrant Shares) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Warrant Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Warrant Shares multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (ii) (the “ Buy-In Payment Amount ”). Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof. While this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to participate in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program. In addition to the foregoing rights, (i) if the Company fails to deliver the applicable number of Warrant Shares upon an exercise pursuant to Section 1 by the applicable Share Delivery Date, then the Holder shall have the right to rescind such exercise in whole or in part and retain and/or have the Company return, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the rescission of an exercise shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise, and (ii) if a registration statement (which may be the Registration Statement) covering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares that are subject to an Exercise Notice is not available for the issuance or resale, as applicable, of such Warrant Shares and the Holder has submitted an Exercise Notice prior to receiving notice of the non-availability of such registration statement and the Company has not already delivered the Warrant Shares underlying such Exercise Notice electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, the Holder shall have the option, by delivery of notice to the Company, to (x) rescind such Exercise Notice in whole or in part and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the rescission of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise, and/or (y) switch some or all of such Exercise Notice from a cash exercise to a Cashless Exercise.
(d) Cashless Exercise . Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (other than Section 1(f) below), if at the time of exercise hereof the Registration Statement is not effective (or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use) for the issuance of all of the Warrant Shares, then the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Warrant Shares determined according to the following formula (a “ Cashless Exercise ”):
Net Number =
(A x B) - (A x C)
D
3
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
B = the greater of (A) the Spot Price and (B) the quotient of (x) the sum of the VWAP of the Common Stock of each of the twenty (20) Trading Days ending at the close of business on the Principal Market immediately prior to the time of exercise as set forth in the applicable Exercise Notice, divided by (y) twenty (20).
C = Remaining Per Share Amount.
D = the Spot Price.
For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the 1933 Act, as in effect on the Subscription Date, it is intended that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(e) Disputes . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 13.
(f) Limitations on Exercises . The Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including other Registered Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(f). For purposes of this Section 1(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “ Reported Outstanding Share Number ”). If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(f), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be acquired pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “ Reduction Shares ”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of 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 and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “ Excess Shares ”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61 st ) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61 st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Registered Warrants that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(f) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

(g) Reservation of Shares .
(i) Required Reserve Amount . So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to 100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock under the Registered Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise) (the “ Required Reserve Amount ”); provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 1(g)(i) be reduced other than proportionally in connection with any exercise or redemption of Registered Warrants or such other event covered by Section 2(a) below. The Required Reserve Amount (including, without limitation, each increase in the number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Registered Warrants based on number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Registered Warrants held by each holder on the Closing Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (without regard to any limitations on exercise) or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “ Authorized Share Allocation ”). In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Registered Warrants, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registered Warrants shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Registered Warrants, pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Registered Warrants then held by such holders (without regard to any limitations on exercise).
(ii) Insufficient Authorized Shares . If, notwithstanding Section 1(g)(i) above, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Registered Warrants remain outstanding, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve the Required Reserve Amount (an “ Authorized Share Failure ”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the Registered Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock upon an exercise of this Warrant due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “ Authorization Failure Shares ”), in lieu of delivering such Authorization Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the cancellation of such portion of this Warrant exercisable into such Authorization Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorization Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Exercise Notice with respect to such Authorization Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section 1(g); and (ii) to the extent the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Authorization Failure Shares, any Buy-In Payment Amount, brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith. Nothing contained in this Section 1(g)(ii) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES . So long as the Warrant remains outstanding, the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 2.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits . Without limiting any provision of Section 2(b), Section 3 or Section 4, if the Company, at any time on or after the Subscription Date, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period that an Exercise Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.
5
(b) Intentionally Omitted.
(c) Number of Warrant Shares . Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2(a), the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein).
(d) Intentionally Omitted.
(e) Intentionally Omitted.
(f) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100 th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issuance or sale of Common Stock.
(g) Intentionally Omitted.
3. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
4. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS .
(a) Purchase Rights . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “ Purchase Rights ”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights ( provided , however , that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder for a period of up to six (6) months, until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
6
(b) Fundamental Transactions . The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to 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, including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock 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 adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction) and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of the applicable 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. Upon consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Section 1(f) hereof, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 4(b) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) (the “ Corporate Event Consideration ”) with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “ Corporate Event ”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock or Corporate Event Consideration (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such Corporate Event Consideration which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.
(c) Intentionally Omitted.
(d) Application . The provisions of this Section 4 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied as if this Warrant (and any such subsequent warrants) were fully exercisable and without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant (provided that the Holder shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of the Maximum Percentage, applied however with respect to shares of capital stock registered under the 1934 Act and thereafter receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any such other warrant)).

My Size, Inc.
Warrant To Purchase Common Stock
Warrant No.:
Date of Issuance: [ ], 2017 (“ Issuance Date ”)
My Size, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [BUYER] , the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “ Holder ”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “ Warrant ”), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), _________________ [1] (subject to adjustment as provided herein) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”, and such number of Warrant Shares, the “ Warrant Number ”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 17. This Warrant is one of the Warrants to Purchase Common Stock (the “ Registered Warrants ”) issued pursuant to (i) Section 1 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of December __, 2017 (the “ Subscription Date ”), by and among the Company and the investors (the “ Buyers ”) referred to therein, as amended from time to time (the “ Securities Purchase Agreement ”) and (ii) the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File number 333- ) (the “ Registration Statement ”).
PREPAYMENT OF NOMINAL VALUE . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company hereby acknowledges receipt of the nominal value of $0.001 per Warrant Share from the initial holder of this Warrant as of the initial Issuance Date, which was pre-funded to the Company on or prior to the initial Issuance Date (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar events, the “ Nominal Per Share Amount ”, and such prepayment, the “ Prepayment ”). Consequently, upon each exercise of this Warrant, the applicable Aggregate Exercise Price (as defined below) of this Warrant (less the applicable Nominal Per Share Amount) shall be the only remaining unpaid amount that must be satisfied by the Holder (whether in cash or by a Cashless Exercise (as defined below)) to effect an exercise of this Warrant. The Prepayment is nonrefundable, whether or not this Warrant is exercisable in full.

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
(a) Mechanics of Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date (an “ Exercise Date ”), in whole or in part, by delivery (whether via facsimile or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. Within one (1) Trading Day following an exercise of this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was so exercised (the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ”) in cash or via wire transfer of immediately available funds if the Holder did not notify the Company in such Exercise Notice that such exercise was made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. On or before the first (1 st ) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B , to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Exercise Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade of such Warrant Shares initiated on the applicable Exercise Date), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise and upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company by the Holder, then, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in the case where an exercise of this Warrant is validly made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, the Company’s failure to deliver Warrant Shares to the Holder on or prior to the later of (i) two (2) Trading Days after receipt of the applicable Exercise Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade of such Warrant Shares initiated on the applicable Exercise Date) and (ii) one (1) Trading Day after the Company’s receipt of the Aggregate Exercise Price (or valid notice of a Cashless Exercise) (such later date, the “ Share Delivery Date ”) shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Warrant. From the Issuance Date through and including the Expiration Date, the Company shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in the DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program.

(b) Exercise Price . For purposes of this Warrant, “ Exercise Price ” means $[ ], subject to adjustment as provided herein.
(c) Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities . If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled and register such Warrant Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for such number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant (as the case may be) or (II) if the Registration Statement (or prospectus contained therein) covering the issuance of the Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “ Unavailable Warrant Shares ”) is not available for the issuance of such Unavailable Warrant Shares and the Company fails to promptly (x) so notify the Holder and (y) deliver the Warrant Shares electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a “ Notice Failure ” and together with the event described in clause (I) above, a “ Delivery Failure ”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (X) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Date and during such Delivery Failure an amount equal to 2% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Exercise Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date, and (Y) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Exercise Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the voiding of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Date either (I) the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below or (II) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Share Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Delivery Failure or Notice Failure, as applicable (a “ Buy-In ”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such Warrant Shares) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Warrant Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Warrant Shares multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (ii) (the “ Buy-In Payment Amount ”). Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof. While this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to participate in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program. In addition to the foregoing rights, (i) if the Company fails to deliver the applicable number of Warrant Shares upon an exercise pursuant to Section 1 by the applicable Share Delivery Date, then the Holder shall have the right to rescind such exercise in whole or in part and retain and/or have the Company return, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the rescission of an exercise shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise, and (ii) if a registration statement (which may be the Registration Statement) covering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares that are subject to an Exercise Notice is not available for the issuance or resale, as applicable, of such Warrant Shares and the Holder has submitted an Exercise Notice prior to receiving notice of the non-availability of such registration statement and the Company has not already delivered the Warrant Shares underlying such Exercise Notice electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, the Holder shall have the option, by delivery of notice to the Company, to (x) rescind such Exercise Notice in whole or in part and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the rescission of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise, and/or (y) switch some or all of such Exercise Notice from a cash exercise to a Cashless Exercise.
3
(d) Cashless Exercise . Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (other than Section 1(f) below), if at the time of exercise hereof the Registration Statement is not effective (or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use) for the issuance of all of the Warrant Shares, then the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Warrant Shares determined according to the following formula (a “ Cashless Exercise ”):
Net Number =
(A x B) - (A x C)
D
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
B = the greater of (A) the Spot Price and (B) the quotient of (x) the sum of the VWAP of the Common Stock of each of the twenty (20) Trading Days ending at the close of business on the Principal Market immediately prior to the time of exercise as set forth in the applicable Exercise Notice, divided by (y) twenty (20).
C = the difference of (x) the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise less the Nominal Per Share Amount.
D = the Spot Price.
For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the 1933 Act, as in effect on the Subscription Date, it is intended that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(e) Disputes . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 13.
4
(f) Limitations on Exercises . The Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including other Registered Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(f). For purposes of this Section 1(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “ Reported Outstanding Share Number ”). If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(f), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be acquired pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “ Reduction Shares ”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of 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 and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “ Excess Shares ”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61 st ) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61 st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Registered Warrants that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(f) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
5
(g) Reservation of Shares .
(i) Required Reserve Amount . So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to 100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock under the Registered Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise) (the “ Required Reserve Amount ”); provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 1(g)(i) be reduced other than proportionally in connection with any exercise or redemption of Registered Warrants or such other event covered by Section 2(a) below. The Required Reserve Amount (including, without limitation, each increase in the number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Registered Warrants based on number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Registered Warrants held by each holder on the Closing Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (without regard to any limitations on exercise) or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “ Authorized Share Allocation ”). In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Registered Warrants, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registered Warrants shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Registered Warrants, pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Registered Warrants then held by such holders (without regard to any limitations on exercise).
(ii) Insufficient Authorized Shares . If, notwithstanding Section 1(g)(i) above, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Registered Warrants remain outstanding, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve the Required Reserve Amount (an “ Authorized Share Failure ”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the Registered Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock upon an exercise of this Warrant due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “ Authorization Failure Shares ”), in lieu of delivering such Authorization Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the cancellation of such portion of this Warrant exercisable into such Authorization Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorization Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Exercise Notice with respect to such Authorization Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section 1(g); and (ii) to the extent the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Authorization Failure Shares, any Buy-In Payment Amount, brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith. Nothing contained in this Section 1(g)(ii) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES . So long as the Warrant remains outstanding, the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 2.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits . Without limiting any provision of Section 2(b), Section 3 or Section 4, if the Company, at any time on or after the Subscription Date, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period that an Exercise Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.
6
(b) Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock . If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 2 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “ New Issuance Price ”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to herein as the “ Applicable Price ”) (the foregoing a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Exercise Price and the New Issuance Price under this Section 2(b)), the following shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Options . If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(b)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option for which one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or otherwise pursuant to the terms of or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities . If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 2(b)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Convertible Security for which one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, and if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(b), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.
7
(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion . If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time (other than proportional changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to in Section 2(a)), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 2(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.
(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received . If any Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (as determined by the Holder, the “ Primary Security ”, and such Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right, the “ Secondary Securities ” and together with the Primary Security, each a “ Unit ”), together comprising one integrated transaction, the aggregate consideration per share of Common Stock with respect to such Primary Security shall be deemed to be the lowest of (x) the purchase price of such Unit, (y) if such Primary Security is an Option and/or Convertible Security, the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Primary Security in accordance with Section 2(b)(i) or 2(b)(ii) above and (z) the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the four Trading Day period immediately following the public announcement of such Dilutive Issuance (for the avoidance of doubt, if such public announcement is released prior to the opening of the Principal Market on a Trading Day, such Trading Day shall be the first Trading Day in such four Trading Day period). If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities (as the case may be). The fair market value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “ Valuation Event ”), the fair market value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(v) Record Date . If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).
8
(c) Number of Warrant Shares . Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2(a), the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein).
(d) Holder’s Right of Alternative Exercise Price Following Issuance of Certain Options or Convertible Securities . Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 2, if the Company in any manner issues or sells or enters into any agreement to issue or sell, any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities (any such securities, “ Variable Price Securities ”) after the Subscription Date that are issuable pursuant to such agreement or convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock at a price which varies or may vary with the market price of the shares of Common Stock, including by way of one or more reset(s) to a fixed price, but exclusive of such formulations reflecting customary anti-dilution provisions (such as share splits, share combinations, share dividends and similar transactions) (each of the formulations for such variable price being herein referred to as, the “ Variable Price ”), the Company shall provide written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder on the date of such agreement and the issuance of such Convertible Securities or Options. From and after the date the Company enters into such agreement or issues any such Variable Price Securities, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to substitute the Variable Price for the Exercise Price upon exercise of this Warrant by designating in the Exercise Notice delivered upon any exercise of this Warrant that solely for purposes of such exercise the Holder is relying on the Variable Price rather than the Exercise Price then in effect. The Holder’s election to rely on a Variable Price for a particular exercise of this Warrant shall not obligate the Holder to rely on a Variable Price for any future exercises of this Warrant.
(e) Other Events . In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares (if applicable) so as to protect the rights of the Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(e) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2, provided further that if the Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then the Company’s board of directors and the Holder shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company.
(f) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100 th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issuance or sale of Common Stock.
(g) Voluntary Adjustment By Company . The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, with the prior approval of the Principal Market and the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.
9
3. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
4. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.
(a) Purchase Rights . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “ Purchase Rights ”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights ( provided , however , that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder for a period of up to six (6) months, until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
10
(b) Fundamental Transactions . The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to 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, including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock 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 adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction) and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of the applicable 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. Upon consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Section 1(f) hereof, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 4(b) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) (the “ Corporate Event Consideration ”) with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “ Corporate Event ”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock or Corporate Event Consideration (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such Corporate Event Consideration which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.
11
(c) Change of Control Rights . Notwithstanding the foregoing and the provisions of Section 4(b) above, at the request of the Holder delivered at any time commencing on the earliest to occur of (A) the public disclosure of any Change of Control, (B) the consummation of any Change of Control and (C) the Holder first becoming aware of any Change of Control through the date that is ninety (90) days after the public disclosure of the consummation of such Change of Control by the Company pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, the Company or the Successor Entity (as the case may be) shall exchange this Warrant for the Black Scholes Value of such portion of this Warrant (less the applicable Nominal Per Share Amount, which is not refundable hereunder) subject to exchange (collectively, the “ Aggregate Black Scholes Value ”) in cash; provided , however , that if the Change of Control is not within the Company's control, including not approved by the Company's Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive the Aggregate Black Scholes Value in the form of, at the Company’s election (such election to pay in cash or by delivery of the Rights (as defined below), a “ Consideration Election ”), either (I) rights (with a beneficial ownership limitation in the form of Section 1(f) hereof, mutatis mutandis ) (collectively, the “ Rights ”), convertible in whole, or in part, at any time, without the requirement of the Holder to pay any additional consideration, at the option of the Holder, into such aggregate amount of Corporate Event Consideration applicable to such Change of Control equal in value to the Aggregate Black Scholes Value (as determined in accordance with Section 2(b)(iv) above), but with the aggregate number of Successor Shares (as defined below) (on an as-converted or as-exercised basis, with respect to any Convertible Securities or Options included in such Corporate Event Consideration) issuable upon conversion of the Rights to be determined in increments of 10% of the portion of the Aggregate Black Scholes Value attributable to such Successor Shares (the “ Successor Share Value Increment ”), with the aggregate number of Successor Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights with respect to the first Successor Share Value Increment determined based on 95% of the Closing Bid Price of the Successor Shares on the date the Rights are issued and on each of the nine (9) subsequent Trading Days, in each case, the aggregate number of additional Successor Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights shall be determined based upon a Successor Share Value Increment at 95% of the Closing Bid Price of the Successor Shares in effect for such corresponding Trading Day (such ten (10) Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the date the Rights are issued, the “ Rights Measuring Period ”), or (II) in cash; provided, that the Company shall not consummate a Change of Control if (x) the Corporate Event Consideration includes share capital or other equity interest (the “ Successor Shares ”) either in an entity that is not listed on an Eligible Market or an entity in which the daily share volume for the applicable Successor Shares for each of the twenty (20) Trading Days prior to the date of consummation of such Change of Control is less than the aggregate number of Successor Shares issuable to the Holder upon conversion in full of the applicable Rights (without regard to any limitations on conversion therein, assuming the exercise in full of the Rights on the date of issuance of the Rights and assuming the Closing Bid Price of the Successor Shares for each Trading Day in the Rights Measuring Period is the Closing Bid Price on the Trading Day ended immediately prior to the time of consummation of the Change of Control) and (y) the Company shall not have properly elected in accordance with this Section 4(c) to pay the applicable Black Scholes Value to the Holder in cash. The Company shall give the Holder written notice of each Consideration Election at least twenty (20) Trading Days prior to the time of consummation of such Change of Control. Payment of such amounts or delivery of the Rights, as applicable, shall be made by the Company (or at the Company’s direction) to the Holder on the later of (x) the second (2nd) Trading Day after the date of such request and (y) the date of consummation of such Change of Control (or, with respect to any Right, if applicable, such later time that holders of shares of Common Stock are initially entitled to receive Corporate Event Consideration with respect to the shares of Common Stock of such holder). Any Corporate Event Consideration included in the Right, if any, pursuant to this Section 4(c) is pari passu with the Corporate Event Consideration to be paid to holders of shares of Common Stock and the Company shall not permit a payment of any Corporate Event Consideration to the holders of shares of Common Stock without on or prior to such time delivering the Right to the Holder hereunder.
(d) Application . The provisions of this Section 4 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied as if this Warrant (and any such subsequent warrants) were fully exercisable and without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant (provided that the Holder shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of the Maximum Percentage, applied however with respect to shares of capital stock registered under the 1934 Act and thereafter receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any such other warrant)).
12
5. NONCIRCUMVENTION . The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), Bylaws (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after the sixty (60) calendar day anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Holder is not permitted to exercise this Warrant in full for any reason (other than pursuant to restrictions set forth in Section 1(f) hereof), the Company shall use its best efforts to promptly remedy such failure, including, without limitation, obtaining such consents or approvals as necessary to permit such exercise into shares of Common Stock.
6. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in its capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which it is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 6, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.
7. REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.
(a) Transfer of Warrant . If this Warrant is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.

(d) Issuance of New Warrants . Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.
8. NOTICES . Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
10. SEVERABILITY . If any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to the Company at the address set forth in Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

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

13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION .
(a) Submission to Dispute Resolution .

In making the aforesaid examinations, we have assumed (i) assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; (ii) the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials, (iii) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents where due execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof (except that due authorization by the Company is not assumed), and (iv) that the terms of the sale of the Common Stock and the Warrants by the Company will be authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company or the Pricing Committee in accordance with Sections 152 and 153 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “ DGCL ”). As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon a certificate of an officer of the Company and have not sought to independently verify such matters.
Our opinion is expressed only with respect to the DGCL and, as to the Warrants constituting valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, with respect to the laws of the State of New York. We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any particular jurisdiction apply and no opinion to the extent that the laws of any jurisdiction other than those identified above are applicable to the subject matter hereof. We are not rendering any opinion as to compliance with any federal or state law, rule or regulation relating to securities, or to the sale or issuance thereof.
With respect to the Warrant Shares, we express no opinion to the extent that, notwithstanding its current reservation of shares of Common Stock, future issuances of securities of the Company and/or adjustments to outstanding securities of the Company cause the Warrants to be exercisable for more shares of Common Stock, or the Warrants to be exercisable into, more shares of the Common Stock, than the number of shares that then remain authorized but unissued.
With regard to our opinion concerning the Warrants constituting valid and binding obligations of the Company:
(i) Our opinion is subject to, and may be limited by, (a) applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, debtor and creditor, and similar laws which relate to or affect creditors’ rights generally, and (b) general principles of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing) regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(ii) Our opinion is subject to the qualification that the availability of specific performance, an injunction or other equitable remedies is subject to the discretion of the court before which the request is brought.
(iii) We express no opinion as to any provision of the Warrants that: (a) provides for liquidated damages, buy-in damages, monetary penalties, prepayment or make-whole payments or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions may constitute unlawful penalties, (b) relates to advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitations, trial by jury, or procedural rights, (c) restricts non-written modifications and waivers, (d) provides for the payment of legal and other professional fees where such payment is contrary to law or public policy, (e) relates to exclusivity, election or accumulation of rights or remedies, (f) authorizes or validates conclusive or discretionary determinations, or (g) provides that provisions of the Warrants are severable to the extent an essential part of the agreed exchange is determined to be invalid and unenforceable.
(iv) We express no opinion as to whether a state court outside of the State of New York or a federal court of the United States would give effect to the choice of New York law provided for in the Warrants.
On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion (i) that the Common Stock, when sold in accordance with the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (ii) provided that the Warrants have been duly executed and delivered by the Company to the purchasers thereof against payment therefor, the Warrants, when issued and sold as contemplated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company and (iii) the Warrant Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and.
We hereby consent to the use of our opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm and this opinion under the heading “Legal Matters” in the prospectus comprising a part of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or of any subsequent changes in applicable law.

(n) Dilutive Issuances . For so long as any Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall not, in any manner, enter into or affect any Dilutive Issuance (as defined in the Warrants) if the effect of such Dilutive Issuance is to cause the Company to be required to issue upon exercise of any Warrant any shares of Common Stock in excess of that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon exercise of the Warrants without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market.
(o) Passive Foreign Investment Company . The Company shall conduct its business, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses, in such a manner as will ensure that the Company will not be deemed to constitute a passive foreign investment company within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code.
(p) Corporate Existence . So long as any Buyer beneficially owns any Warrants, the Company shall not be party to any Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants) unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Warrants.
(q) Exercise Procedures . The form of Exercise Notice (as defined in the Warrants) included in the Warrants sets forth the totality of the procedures required of the Buyers in order to exercise the Warrants. No legal opinion or other information or instructions shall be required of the Buyers to exercise their Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Exercise Notice (as defined in the Warrants) shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Exercise Notice form be required in order to exercise the Warrants.

5. | REGISTER; TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS; LEGEND. |
(a) Register . The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of Securities), a register for the Common Shares and the Warrants in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Common Shares and the Warrants have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), the number of Common Shares held by such Person and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of any Buyer or its legal representatives.
- 22 -
(b) Transfer Agent Instructions . The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its Transfer Agent and any subsequent transfer agent in a form acceptable to each of the Buyers (the “ Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions ”) to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC, registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Buyer to the Company upon the exercise of the Warrants (as the case may be). The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5(b) will be given by the Company to its Transfer Agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities, the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5(b), that a Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue each legal opinion referred to in the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to the Transfer Agent as follows: (i) at the Closing with respect to the Common Shares, (ii) upon each exercise of the Warrants (unless such issuance covered by a prior legal opinion previously delivered to the Transfer Agent), and (iii) on each date a registration statement with respect to the issuance or resale of any of the Securities is declared effective by the SEC. Any fees (with respect to the Transfer Agent, counsel to the Company or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinions or the removal of any legends on any of the Securities shall be borne by the Company.
(c) Legends . Certificates and any other instruments evidencing the Securities shall not bear any restrictive or other legend.
(d) FAST Compliance . While any Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program.

The obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Common Shares and the related Warrants to each Buyer at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for the Company’s sole benefit and may be waived by the Company at any time in its sole discretion by providing each Buyer with prior written notice thereof:

8. | TERMINATION. |
In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred with respect to a Buyer within five (5) days of the date hereof, then such Buyer shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement with respect to itself at any time on or after the close of business on such date without liability of such Buyer to any other party; provided, however, (i) the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8 shall not be available to such Buyer if the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to have been consummated by such date is the result of such Buyer’s breach of this Agreement and (ii) the abandonment of the sale and purchase of the Common Shares and the Warrants shall be applicable only to such Buyer providing such written notice, provided further that no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Company under this Agreement to reimburse such Buyer for the expenses described in Section 4(j) above. Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
9. | MISCELLANEOUS. |
(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude any Buyer from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to such Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Buyer. The Company hereby appoints Delaney Corporate Services, Ltd., 99 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York 12210-2822 as its agent for service of process in New York. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. The choice of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law of the Transaction Documents is a valid choice of law and would be recognized and given effect to in any action brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in the country of Israel or such other jurisdiction applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries except for those laws (i) which such court considers to be procedural in nature, (ii) which are revenue or penal laws or (iii) the application of which would be inconsistent with public policy, as such term is interpreted under Israeli law or such other jurisdiction applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company or any of their respective properties, assets or revenues does not have any right of immunity under Israeli law or such other jurisdiction applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or New York law, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any such legal action, suit or proceeding, from set-off or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of the courts and/or government of Israel or such other jurisdiction applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any New York or United States federal court, from service of process, attachment upon or prior to judgment, or attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of a judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of a judgment, in any such court, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with the Transaction Documents; and, to the extent that the Company, or any of its properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to any such right of immunity in any such court in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, the Company hereby waives such right to the extent permitted by law and hereby consents to such relief and enforcement as provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
- 26 -
(b) Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which 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. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page 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 signature page were an original thereof.
(c) Headings; Gender . The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.
(d) Severability; Maximum Payment Amounts . If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and without implication that the following is required or applicable), it is the intention of the parties that in no event shall amounts and value paid by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries (as the case may be), or payable to or received by any of the Buyers, under the Transaction Documents (including without limitation, any amounts that would be characterized as “interest” under applicable law) exceed amounts permitted under any applicable law. Accordingly, if any obligation to pay, payment made to any Buyer, or collection by any Buyer pursuant the Transaction Documents is finally judicially determined to be contrary to any such applicable law, such obligation to pay, payment or collection shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of such Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries and such amount shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the applicable law. Such adjustment shall be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing or refunding, at the option of such Buyer, the amount of interest or any other amounts which would constitute unlawful amounts required to be paid or actually paid to such Buyer under the Transaction Documents. For greater certainty, to the extent that any interest, charges, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid to or received by such Buyer under any of the Transaction Documents or related thereto are held to be within the meaning of “interest” or another applicable term to otherwise be violative of applicable law, such amounts shall be pro-rated over the period of time to which they relate.
- 27 -
(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments . This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf, including, without limitation, any transactions by any Buyer with respect to Common Stock or the Securities, and the other matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Buyer has entered into with, or any instruments any Buyer has received from, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Buyer in the Company or (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any rights of or benefits to any Buyer or any other Person, in any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Buyer, or any instruments any Buyer received from the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof, and all such agreements and instruments shall continue in full force and effect. Except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Required Holders (as defined below), and any amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable, provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (A) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding or (B) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion); provided further that any such amendment or waiver that materially and adversely affects the rights of the Placement Agent shall require the prior written consent of the Placement Agent. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party, provided that the Required Holders may waive any provision of this Agreement, and any waiver of any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable, provided that no such waiver shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding (unless a party gives a waiver as to itself only) or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion). No consideration (other than reimbursement of legal fees) 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 also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents, all holders of the Common Shares, or all holders of the Warrants (as the case may be). From the date hereof and while any Warrants are outstanding, the Company shall not be permitted to receive any consideration from a Buyer or a holder of Warrants that is not otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Documents in order to, directly or indirectly, induce the Company or any Subsidiary (i) to treat such Buyer or holder of Warrants in a manner that is more favorable than to other similarly situated Buyers or holders of Warrants, as applicable, or (ii) to treat any Buyer(s) or holder(s) of Warrants in a manner that is less favorable than the Buyer or holder of Warrants that is paying such consideration; provided, however, that the determination of whether a Buyer has been treated more or less favorably than another Buyer shall disregard any securities of the Company purchased or sold by any Buyer. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company, any Subsidiary or otherwise. As a material inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (x) no due diligence or other investigation or inquiry conducted by a Buyer, any of its advisors or any of its representatives shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y) unless a provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is expressly preceded by the phrase “except as disclosed in the SEC Documents,” nothing contained in any of the SEC Documents shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. “ Required Holders ” means (I) prior to the Closing Date, Buyers entitled to purchase, in the aggregate, at least a majority of the number of Common Shares at the Closing and (II) on or after the Closing Date, holders of, in the aggregate, at least a majority of the Underlying Securities as of such time (excluding any Underlying Securities held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of such time) issued or issuable hereunder or pursuant to the Warrants.

(i) In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and each holder of any Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “ Indemnitees ”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “ Indemnified Liabilities ”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any Subsidiary in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary contained in any of the Transaction Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents, (B) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (C) any disclosure properly made by such Buyer pursuant to Section 4(k), or (D) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities either as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a party in interest or otherwise in any action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief). To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.
(ii) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 9(m) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section 9(m), deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Company if: (A) the Company has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (B) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability; or (C) the named parties to any such Indemnified Liability (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and the Company, and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnitee and the Company (in which case, if such Indemnitee notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, then the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company), provided further, that in the case of clause (C) above the Company shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for the Indemnitees. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liability by the Company and shall furnish to the Company all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action or Indemnified Liability. The Company shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the Company shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liability or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Company shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 9(m), except to the extent that the Company is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
- 31 -
(iii) The indemnification required by this Section 9(m) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, within ten (10) days after bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.
(iv) The indemnity agreement contained herein shall be in addition to (A) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitee against the Company or others, and (B) any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to the law.
(n) Construction . The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, shares of Common Stock and any other numbers in this Agreement that relate to the Common Stock shall be automatically adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty against, or a prohibition of, any actions with respect to the borrowing of, arrangement to borrow, identification of the availability of, and/or securing of, securities of the Company in order for such Buyer (or its broker or other financial representative) to effect short sales or similar transactions in the future.
(o) Remedies . Each Buyer and in the event of assignment by Buyer of its rights and obligations hereunder, each holder of Securities, shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it or any Subsidiary fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its or such Subsidiary’s (as the case may be) obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law would inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).
(p) Withdrawal Right . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company or any Subsidiary does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be), any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
(q) Payment Set Aside; Currency . To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or any of the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are in United States Dollars (“ U.S. Dollars ”), and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “ Exchange Rate ” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.
- 32 -
(r) Judgment Currency .
(i) If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Company in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 9(r) referred to as the “ Judgment Currency ”) an amount due in US Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Trading Day (as defined in the Warrants) immediately preceding:
(1) the date actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date: or
(2) the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to Section 9(r)(i)(1) being hereinafter referred to as the “ Judgment Conversion Date ”).
(ii) If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 9(r)(i)(1) above, there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of US Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.
(iii) Any amount due from the Company under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(s) Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights . The obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity, and the Company shall not assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Buyer to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with such Buyer making its investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as agent of such Buyer in connection with monitoring such Buyer’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. The Company and each Buyer confirms that each Buyer has independently participated with the Company and its Subsidiaries in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Buyer, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and its Subsidiaries and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company, each Subsidiary and a Buyer, solely, and not between the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.

Exhibit 10.19
LEAK-OUT AGREEMENT
December __, 2017
This agreement (the “ Leak-Out Agreement ”) is being delivered to you in connection with an understanding by and between My Size, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and the person or persons named on the signature pages hereto (collectively, the “ Holder ”).
Reference is hereby made to (a) the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated December __, 2017, by and among the Company and the Holder and certain other purchasers signatory thereto (the “ SPA ”) and (b) the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-221741) (“ Registration Statement ”), pursuant to which the Holder acquired (i) Common Shares and/or Pre-Funded Common Warrants, and (ii) Common Warrants (collectively, the “ Securities ”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the SPA, unless otherwise set forth herein.
The Holder agrees solely with the Company that from the date that the undersigned executes the SPA and ending at 4:00 pm (New York City time) on the earlier of (i) December __, 2017 and (ii) the fifth Trading Day (as such term is defined in the Warrants) of a period of five consecutive Trading Days during which the VWAP (as such term is defined in the Warrants) for each such Trading Day during such period is equal to or exceeds $[____] per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events occurring after the date hereof) (such period, the “ Restricted Period ”), neither the Holder, nor any Affiliate (as such term is defined in the Warrants) of such Holder which (x) had or has knowledge of the transactions contemplated by the SPA, (y) has or shares discretion relating to such Holder’s investments or trading or information concerning such Holder’s investments, including in respect of the Securities, or (z) is subject to such Holder’s review or input concerning such Affiliate’s investments or trading (together, the “ Holder’s Trading Affiliates ”), collectively, shall sell, dispose or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, (including, without limitation, any sales, short sales, swaps or any derivative transactions that would be equivalent to any sales or short positions) on any Trading Day during the Restricted Period (any such date, a “ Date of Determination ”), shares of Common Stock, or shares of Common Stock underlying any Convertible Securities, held by the Holder on the date hereof, including the Shares or Warrant Shares (collectively, the “ Restricted Securities ”), in an amount more than __% of the trading volume of Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP for the applicable Date of Determination (“ Leak-Out Percentage ”).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the Restricted Period, the Holder may, directly or indirectly, sell or transfer all, or any part, of any Restricted Securities to any Person (an “ Assignee ”) in a transaction which does not need to be reported on the consolidated tape on the Principal Market, without complying with (or otherwise limited by) the restrictions set forth in this Leak-Out Agreement; provided, that as a condition to any such sale or transfer an authorized signatory of the Company and such Assignee duly execute and deliver a leak-out agreement in the form of this Leak-Out Agreement (an “ Assignee Agreement ”, and each such transfer a “ Permitted Transfer ”) and, subsequent to a Permitted Transfer, sales of the Holder and the Holder’s Trading Affiliates and all Assignees (other than any such sales that constitute Permitted Transfers) shall be aggregated for all purposes of this Leak-Out Agreement and all Assignee Agreements.
Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Leak-Out Agreement must be in writing and shall be given in accordance with the terms of the SPA.
This Leak-Out Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior negotiations, letters and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof and are fully binding on the parties hereto.
This Leak-Out Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Leak-Out Agreement may be executed and accepted by facsimile or PDF signature and any such signature shall be of the same force and effect as an original signature.
The terms of this Leak-Out Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
This Leak-Out Agreement may not be amended or modified except in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Leak-Out Agreement shall be governed by Section 9 of the SPA.
Each party hereto acknowledges that, in view of the uniqueness of the transactions contemplated by this Leak-Out Agreement, the other party or parties hereto may not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages in the event that this Leak-Out Agreement has not been performed in accordance with its terms, and therefore agrees that such other party or parties shall be entitled to seek specific enforcement of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy it may seek, at law or in equity.
The obligations of the Holder under this Leak-Out Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other holder of any of the Securities issued under the SPA (each, an “ Other Holder ”) or any other holder of any of the Securities issued under the Registration Statement that is not a signatory to the SPA (each, a “ Prospectus Purchaser Other Holder ”) under any other agreement, and the Holder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Holder or any Prospectus Purchaser Other Holder under any such other agreement. Nothing contained herein or in this Leak-Out Agreement, and no action taken by the Holder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holder and Other Holders or any Prospectus Purchaser Other Holder as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holder and the Other Holders or any Prospectus Purchaser Other Holder are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Leak-Out Agreement and the Company acknowledges that the Holder and the Other Holders or any Prospectus Purchaser Other Holder are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Leak-Out Agreement or any other agreement. The Company and the Holder confirm that the Holder has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. The Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Leak-Out Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Holder or any Prospectus Purchaser Other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees from and after the date hereof that none of the terms offered to any Other Holder or any Prospectus Purchaser Other Holder with respect to any restrictions on the sale of Securities substantially in the form of this Leak-Out Agreement (or any amendment, modification, waiver or release thereof) (each a “ Settlement Document ”), is or will be more favorable to such Other Holder than those of the Holder and this Leak-Out Agreement. If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company enters into a Settlement Document with terms that are materially different from this Leak-Out Agreement, then (i) the Company shall provide notice thereof to the Holder promptly following the occurrence thereof and (ii) the terms and conditions of this Leak-Out Agreement shall be, without any further action by the Holder or the Company, automatically amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Holder shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in such Settlement Document, provided that upon written notice to the Company at any time the Holder may elect not to accept the benefit of any such amended or modified term or condition, in which event the term or condition contained in this Leak-Out Agreement shall apply to the Holder as it was in effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply similarly and equally to each Settlement Document.
