THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the __ day of February 2012, by and between BioLineRx Ltd. (the “Company”), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Israel, with its principal offices at 19 Hartum Street, Jerusalem 91450, Israel, and the purchaser whose name and address is set forth on the signature page hereof (the “Purchaser”).

IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, the Company and the Purchaser agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Authorization of Sale of the ADSs and Warrants. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company has authorized the issuance and sale of (i) up to __________ shares, par value NIS 0.01 per share (“the Ordinary Shares”), represented by ____________ American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) and (ii) five-year warrants, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Warrants”), to purchase ADSs (the “Warrant ADSs”), in an amount equal to 50% of the ADSs purchased pursuant to this Agreement or by the Other Purchasers (as defined below) at an exercise price equal to $3.57. For purposes of clarification, each ADS represents ten Ordinary Shares.

SECTION 2. Agreement to Sell and Purchase the ADSs and the Warrants. At the Closing (as defined in Section 3), the Company will, subject to the terms of this Agreement, issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser will buy from the Company, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the number of ADSs and Warrants (at the purchase price) shown below:

Aggregate
   Price   

    $2.86 $
       
       
       
       

 

The Company proposes to enter into this same form of purchase agreement with certain other investors (the “Other Purchasers”) and expects to complete sales of ADSs and Warrants to them. The Purchaser and the Other Purchasers are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Purchasers,” and this Agreement and the purchase agreements executed by the Other Purchasers are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Agreements.” The term “Placement Agent” shall mean Roth Capital Partners, LLC.

SECTION 3. Delivery of the Offered Securities at the Closing. The completion of the purchase and sale of the Offered Securities (as defined below) (the “Closing”) shall occur at the offices of Morrison & Foerster LLP, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10104 as soon as practicable and as agreed to by the parties hereto, within three business days following the execution of the Agreements, or on such later date or at such different location as the parties shall agree in writing, but not prior to the date that the conditions for Closing set forth below have been satisfied or waived by the appropriate party (the “Closing Date”).

 
 

At the Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver, in immediately available funds, the full amount of the purchase price for the ADSs (the “Offered ADSs”) and the Warrants (the “Offered Warrants” and, together with the Offered ADSs, the “Offered Securities”) being purchased hereunder by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company and the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser one or more certificates registered in the name of the Purchaser, or in such nominee name(s) as designated by the Purchaser in writing, representing the number of Offered ADSs set forth in Section 2 above and, bearing an appropriate legend referring to the fact that the ADSs were sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 thereunder. Sales outside the United States will comply with Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act and the certificates will bear an appropriate legend referring to that fact. Each purchaser will be required to make representations confirming, among other things, that it is an accredited investor (for ADSs sold in the United States), is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the securities, it has the ability to assume the economic risks involved in the investment and, if located outside of the United States, understands that the ADSs, the warrants, the ADSs underlying the warrants and the ordinary shares may only be resold in compliance with Rule 904 under the Securities Act. The Company shall deliver to the Purchaser one or more certificates representing the Offered Warrants, which shall also bear a legend. The name(s) in which the stock certificates are to be registered are set forth in the Certificate Questionnaire attached hereto as part of Appendix I.

In connection with any sale or disposition of the Offered Securities by the Purchaser pursuant to Rule 144 such that the Purchaser’s transferee will acquire freely tradable shares and upon compliance by the Purchaser with the requirements of this Agreement, the Company shall or, in the case of the Offered ADSs, shall cause the depositary for the ADSs (the “Depositary”) to issue replacement certificates representing the Ordinary Shares represented by the Offered Securities sold or disposed of without restrictive legends. Upon the earlier of (i) receipt of notice that the ADSs have been resold in reliance on an effective and currently available resale registration pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) the Offered Securities becoming freely tradable by a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144 the Company shall (A) deliver to the Depositary irrevocable instructions that the Depositary shall deliver ADSs without legends upon receipt by such Depositary of the legended certificates for such ADSs, and (B) cause its counsel to deliver to the Depositary one or more blanket opinions to the effect that the removal of such legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act. The Purchaser agrees with the Company that if ADSs are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing ADSs as set forth in this paragraph is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding. From and after the earlier of such dates, upon the Purchaser’s written request, the Company shall promptly cause certificates evidencing the Purchaser’s Offered Securities to be replaced with Offered Securities not subject to such restrictive legends, and Warrant ADSs subsequently issued upon due exercise of the Offered Warrants shall not bear such restrictive legends provided the conditions to removal above are satisfied with respect to such Warrant ADSs. When the Company is required to cause that Offered Securities not subject to a restrictive legend to be delivered to replace a previously issued legended certificate, if: (1) the unrestricted securities not delivered to the Purchaser or transferee, as applicable, within three (3) Trading Days of submission by the Purchaser of a legended certificate and supporting documentation to the Depositary as provided above and (2) prior to the time such unlegended certificate is received by the Purchaser, the Purchaser, or any third party on behalf of such Purchaser or for the Purchaser’s account, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) ADSs to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Purchaser of ADSs represented by such certificate (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Purchaser (for costs incurred either directly by such Purchaser or on behalf of a third party) the amount by which the total purchase price paid for ADSs as a result of the Buy-In (including brokerage commissions, if any) exceeds the proceeds received by such Purchaser as a result of the sale to which such Buy-In relates. The Purchaser shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Purchaser in respect of the Buy-In.

2
 

Notwithstanding the issuance of Offered Securities that do not bear any U.S. restrictive legends, the Purchaser agrees to comply with the Israeli Transfer Restrictions (as defined in the Private Placement memorandum), which include volume limitations, in connection with any offer, sale, pledge, transfer or otherwise disposition of ADSs, the warrants, the ADSs underlying the warrants and the ordinary shares.

The Company’s obligation to complete the purchase and sale of the Offered Securities and deliver such certificate(s) to the Purchaser at the Closing shall be subject to the following conditions, any one or more of which may be waived by the Company: (a) receipt by the Company of same-day funds in the full amount of the purchase price for the Offered Securities being purchased hereunder; (b) completion of the purchases and sales under the Agreements with the Other Purchasers; and (c) the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Purchasers and the fulfillment of those undertakings of the Purchasers to be fulfilled prior to the Closing. The Purchaser’s obligation to accept delivery of such certificate(s) and to pay for the Offered Securities evidenced thereby shall be subject to the following conditions: (a) each of the representations and warranties of the Company made herein shall be accurate as of the Closing Date; (b) the delivery to the Purchaser by counsel to the Company of a legal opinion in a form reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Placement Agents; (c) receipt by the Purchaser of a certificate executed by the chief executive officer and the chief financial or accounting officer of the Company, dated as of the Closing Date, to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Company set forth herein are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and as of such Closing Date and that the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions herein on its part to be performed or satisfied on or prior to such Closing Date; and (d) the fulfillment in all material respects of those undertakings of the Company to be fulfilled prior to the Closing. The Purchaser’s obligations hereunder are expressly not conditioned on the purchase by any or all of the Other Purchasers of the Offered Securities that they have agreed to purchase from the Company.

SECTION 4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Purchaser as follows:

3
 

4.1 Incorporation and Good Standing of the Company and Its Subsidiaries. The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing under the laws of the State of Israel and has the corporate power and authority to lease, and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Private Placement Memorandum dated February __, 2012 prepared by the Company (including all exhibits, supplements and amendments thereto, the “Private Placement Memorandum”) and in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 20-F (the “20-F”), and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. Each of the Company’s subsidiaries (each, a “Subsidiary,” and collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) has been duly organized and is validly existing, in good standing, where applicable, under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has the requisite power and authority to lease, and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Private Placement Memorandum and the 20-F. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other business entity to transact business and is in good standing, where applicable, in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the leasing of property or the conduct of business, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in any material adverse change, or any development involving a material adverse change, in or affecting the business, financial position, stockholders’ equity, or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (any such change is called a “Material Adverse Change”). All of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary has been duly authorized and validly issued, is fully paid and non-assessable and is owned by the Company, directly or through Subsidiaries, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, or claim, except for such security interests, mortgages, pledges, liens, encumbrances and claims that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

4.2 Reporting Company; Form F 1. The Company is eligible to register the Ordinary Shares represented by the Offered ADSs, the Offered Warrants, and the Ordinary Shares represented by the Warrant ADSs (together, the “Registrable Securities”) for resale by the Purchaser on a registration statement on Form F-1 under the Securities Act. The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and has filed all reports required thereby. Provided none of the Purchasers is deemed to be an underwriter with respect to any shares, to the Company’s knowledge, there exist no facts or circumstances (including without limitation any required approvals or waivers or any circumstances that may delay or prevent the obtaining of accountant’s consents) that reasonably could be expected to prohibit or delay the preparation and filing of a registration statement on Form F-1 that will be available for the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Purchaser.

4.3 Capitalization and Other Capital Stock Matters. The authorized, issued, and outstanding share capital of the Company is as set forth in the Private Placement Memorandum under the caption “Capitalization” (other than for subsequent issuances, if any, pursuant to employee benefit plans described in the Private Placement Memorandum or the 20-F or upon exercise of outstanding options or warrants described therein). The Ordinary Shares, the ADSs and the Warrants (including the Registrable Securities) conform in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Private Placement Memorandum and the 20-F. All of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and have been issued in compliance with applicable Israeli, federal and state securities laws. None of the outstanding Ordinary Shares were issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company. There are no authorized or outstanding options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, or other rights to purchase, or equity or debt securities convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, any share capital of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than those described in the Private Placement Memorandum or the 20-F. The description of the Company’s stock option, stock bonus, and other stock plans or arrangements, and the options or other rights granted thereunder, set forth in the Private Placement Memorandum or the 20-F accurately and fairly presents the information required to be shown with respect to such plans, arrangements, options, and rights.

The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable in connection with the Offered ADSs and the Warrant ADSs. Upon Payment of the exercise price pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, the Warrant ADSs will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

4.5 Due Execution, Delivery and Performance of the Agreements.

4.16 Taxes. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has filed all material Israeli, federal, state, and other foreign income and franchise tax returns or has properly requested extensions thereof and has paid all taxes required to be paid by any of them and, if due and payable, any related or similar assessment, fine, or penalty levied against any of them except as may be being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings. The Company is not aware of any tax deficiency that has been or would reasonably be expected to be asserted or threatened against the Company that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

Except as set forth in the Private Placement Memorandum or the 20-F and assuming that the Placement Agent is not otherwise subject to taxation in Israel, there are no material transfer taxes or other similar fees or charges under Israeli or federal laws or the laws of any state, or any political subdivision thereof, required to be paid in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the issuance or sale by the Company of the Offered Securities.

Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Purchasers, the offer and sale of the Offered Securities by the Company to the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

4.36 No Adjustment to Other Securities. The issuance and sale of the Offered Securities hereunder will not obligate the Company to issue ADSs, Ordinary Shares or other securities to any other Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in the adjustment of the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price of any outstanding security.

IN THE CASE OF A TRANSFER PURSUANT TO (1) ABOVE, THE AMERICAN DEPOSITARY RECEIPT ISSUED TO THE TRANSFEREE WILL BEAR A LEGEND TO THE EFFECT THAT THEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION.

UPON THE EXPIRATION OF THE RESTRICTED PERIOD, THESE AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES AND THE SHARES REPRESENTED THEREBY SHALL NO LONGER BE SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER PROVIDED IN THIS LEGEND IF, AT THE TIME OF SUCH EXPIRATION, THE OFFER AND SALE OF THOSE AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES AND THE SHARES REPRESENTED THEREBY BY THE HOLDER THEREOF IN THE UNITED STATES WOULD NOT BE RESTRICTED UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AS CONFIRMED BY A OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT IS REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND THE DEPOSITARY.”

16
 

The Purchaser further understands that unless the Registration Statement has been declared effective, the ordinary shares underlying the Offered ADSs or the Warrant ADSs may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred for a period of twenty-four months other than in accordance with the Israeli Transfer Restrictions set forth in the regulations promulgated under the Israel Securities Law 1968-5728 (the “Law”), and covenants that he shall only offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the ordinary shares underlying the Offered ADSs following the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement or in the absence of a Registration Statement in accordance with volume restrictions set forth under the Law for a period of twenty-four months following the Closing.

5.7 Stop Transfer. The certificates evidencing ADSs representing the Registrable Securities will be subject to a stop transfer order with the Depositary that restricts the transfer of such securities except upon receipt by the Depositary of a written confirmation from the Purchaser (which may be delivered at any time with respect to all of the Purchaser’s Offered Securities) to the effect that the Purchaser has satisfied its prospectus delivery requirements, in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto.

5.8 Residency. The Purchaser’s principal executive offices are in the jurisdiction set forth immediately below the Purchaser’s name on the signature pages hereto.

5.9 Public Sale or Distribution. (a) The Purchaser hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement without complying with the provisions of this Agreement and without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act to be satisfied (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act or any similar rule), and the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that such Registrable Securities are not transferable on the books of the Company unless the certificate submitted to the Depositary evidencing the Registrable Securities is accompanied by a separate Purchaser’s Certificate of Subsequent Sale: (i) in the form of Appendix II hereto, (ii) executed by an officer of, or other authorized person designated by, the Purchaser, and (iii) to the effect that (A) the Registrable Securities have been sold in accordance with the Registration Statement, the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws and (B) the prospectus delivery requirement effectively has been satisfied. The Purchaser acknowledges that there may occasionally be times when the Company must suspend the use of the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) forming a part of the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until such time as an amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the Commission, or until such time as the Company has filed an appropriate report with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act. Without the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, the Purchaser shall not use any written materials to offer the Registrable Securities for resale other than the Prospectus, including any “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. The Purchaser covenants that it will not sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to said Prospectus during the period commencing at the time when Company gives the Purchaser written notice of the suspension of the use of said Prospectus and ending at the time when the Company gives the Purchaser written notice that the Purchaser may thereafter effect sales pursuant to said Prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees that no Suspension shall be for a period of longer than 30 consecutive days, and no Suspension shall be for a period longer than 60 days in the aggregate in any 365 day period. The Purchaser further covenants to notify the Company promptly of the sale of all of its Registrable Securities.

17
 

(b) At any time that the Purchaser is an affiliate of the Company, any resale of the Registrable Securities that purports to be effected under Rule 144 shall comply with (i) all of the requirements of such rule, including the “manner of sale” requirements set forth in Rule 144(f) and (ii) the Israeli Transfer Restrictions.

5.11 Short Sales. Since the time the Purchaser was first contacted by the Placement Agent concerning the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Purchaser has not taken, and prior to the public announcement of the transaction after the execution of this Agreement and the purchase agreements of the Other Purchasers, the Purchaser shall not take, any action that has caused or will cause the Purchaser to have, directly or indirectly, sold or agreed to sell any ADSs or Ordinary Shares, effected any short sale, whether or not against the box, established any “put equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act with respect to the ADSs or Ordinary Shares, granted any other right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the ADSs or Ordinary Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to or derived any significant part of its value from the ADSs or Ordinary Shares.

18
 

5.12 Israeli Purchaser. With respect to Purchasers incorporated and resident in Israel (if a corporate entity) or resident in Israel (if an individual) who are “Israeli Institutional Investors” (as defined in the Private Placement Memorandum), the Purchaser confirms that prior to receipt of the Private Placement Memorandum, such Purchaser duly executed and delivered to the Company the classified investor declaration attached hereto as Appendix III.

SECTION 6. Survival of Agreements; Non-Survival of Company Representations and Warranties. Notwithstanding any investigation made by any party to this Agreement or by the Placement Agents, all covenants and agreements made by the Company and the Purchaser herein and in the certificates for the Offered Securities delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to the Purchaser of the Offered Securities being purchased and the payment therefor. All representations and warranties made by the Company and the Purchaser herein and in the certificates for the Offered Securities delivered pursuant hereto shall survive for a period of one year following the later of the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to the Purchaser of the Offered Securities being purchased and the payment therefor.

SECTION 7. Registration of the Registrable Securities; Compliance with the Securities Act.

7.1 Registration Procedures and Expenses. The Company shall:

(a) as soon as practicable, but in no event later than ten (10) days following the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), prepare and file with the Commission the Registration Statement on Form F-1 relating to the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers from time to time on the Nasdaq Capital Market (with respect to the Offered ADSs and Warrant ADSs), or the facilities of any national securities exchange on which the Registrable Securities are then traded or in privately-negotiated transactions provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be named as an “underwriter” in the Registration Statement without the Purchaser’s prior written consent. Such Registration Statement shall not include any Ordinary Shares or other securities for the account of any other holder without the prior written consent of Purchasers holding a majority of the Registrable Securities.

19
 

(b) Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 7.1, if the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the holders thereof and use its reasonable best efforts to file amendments to the Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form F-1 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall be obligated to use reasonable best efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly-available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (“Commission Guidance”), including without limitation, the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations D.29. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Commission Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Purchaser as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced with respect to each Purchaser on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Registrable Securities held by such Purchasers, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Purchasers must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Purchasers). In the event the Company amends the Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by the Commission or Commission Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form F-1 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement (the “Additional Registration Statements”). For purposes of this Agreement, the Filing Deadline of an Additional Registration Statement shall be the tenth (10th) day after the date that the Company is allowed to file such Additional Registration Statement by the Commission or Commission Guidance provided to the Company and the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement and any Additional Registration Statement may be referred to as a “Registration Statement.”

(c) use our reasonable commercial efforts, subject to receipt of necessary information from the Purchasers, to cause the Commission to declare the Registration Statement effective within (i) forty (40) days of the Closing Date, if the Company is notified by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be reviewed or (ii) seventy (70) days of the Closing Date, if the Commission notifies the Company that it will review the Registration Statement (the “Effective Deadline”);

(d) promptly prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective until the earliest of (i) twenty-four months after the effective date of the Registration Statement or (ii) the date all of the Registrable Securities have been sold;

(e) use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order;

(f) furnish to the Purchaser with respect to the Registrable Securities registered under the Registration Statement (and to each underwriter, if any, of such Registrable Securities) such number of copies of prospectuses and such other documents as the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Securities by the Purchaser;

20
 

(g) file documents required of the Company for normal Blue Sky clearance in states specified in writing by the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented;

(h) immediately notify the Purchaser, at any time prior to the end of the Effectiveness Period, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Registration Statement includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly prepare, file with the Commission and furnish to such holder an amendment of such Registration Statement as may be necessary so that such Registration Statement shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;

(i) bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this Section 7.1 and the registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, including any expenses incurred with respect to the duties of the Depositary pursuant to this Agreement, other than fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisers to the Purchaser or the Other Purchasers or underwriting discounts, brokerage fees and commissions incurred by the Purchaser or the Other Purchasers, if any in connection with the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement;

(j) file a Form D with respect to the Offered Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to the Purchaser promptly after filing;

(k) issue a press release within 24 hours of the execution of this Agreement (the “Press Release”) describing all the material terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the purchase agreements of the Other Purchasers and any other material non-public information disclosed to the Purchasers. The Purchaser shall be entitled to rely upon the Press Release in trading in the Company’s securities;

(l) in order to enable the Purchasers to sell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144 to the Securities Act, for a period of one year from Closing, use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the requirements of Rule 144, including without limitation, use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1) with respect to public information about the Company and to timely file all reports required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act; and

The Company understands that the Purchaser disclaims being an underwriter, but the Purchaser being deemed an underwriter shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has hereunder. A draft of the proposed form of the questionnaire related to the Registration Statement to be completed by the Purchaser is attached hereto as Appendix I.

21
 

7.2 Transfer of Registrable Securities After Registration. The Purchaser agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Registrable Securities or its right to purchase the Registrable Securities that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act or pursuant to any applicable state securities laws, except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1 or as otherwise permitted by law, and that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding the Purchaser or its plan of distribution.

7.3 Lock-up. From the date hereof until sixty (60) days after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective, without the consent of Purchasers holding a majority of the Registrable Securities, neither the Company nor any subsidiary shall (i) issue ADSs or Ordinary Shares or securities equivalent to or convertible for Ordinary Shares or ADSs, (ii) adjust the material terms of any such security or (ii) file any other registration statement with respect to the sale of any such security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 7.3 shall not apply to (x) the Company’s sale of the Offered Securities hereunder, (y) the issuance of restricted Ordinary Shares or options to acquire Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Company’s employee benefit plans, qualified stock option plans or other employee compensation plans as such plans are in existence on the date hereof and described in the Company’s filings with the Commission, or (z) the issuance of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the valid exercises of options, warrants or rights outstanding on the date hereof and disclosed in its filings with the Commission.

7.4 Indemnification. For the purpose of this Section 7.3:

(i) the term “Purchaser/Affiliate” shall mean any affiliate of the Purchaser, including a transferee who is an affiliate of the Purchaser, and any person who controls the Purchaser or any affiliate of the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act; and

(ii) the term “Registration Statement” shall include any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, free writing prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to, and any document incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1.

22
 

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each Purchaser/Affiliate, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which the Purchaser or Purchaser/Affiliates may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus, financial statements and schedules, and all other documents filed as a part thereof, as amended at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, including any information deemed to be a part thereof as of the time of effectiveness pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 430A, or pursuant to Rules 430B, 430C or 434, of the Rules and Regulations, or the Prospectus, in the form first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Regulations, or filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness if no Rule 424(b) filing is required or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of them a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, or (ii) arise out of or are based in whole or in part on any inaccuracy in the representations or warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, or any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder or under law, and will promptly reimburse each Purchaser and each Purchaser/Affiliate for any legal and other expenses as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Purchaser or such Purchaser/Affiliate in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable for amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use therein, or (ii) the failure of such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 5.9 or 7.2 hereof respecting the sale of the Registrable Securities, or (iii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by such Purchaser herein or (iv) any statement or omission in any Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Purchaser prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Purchaser.

(b) Each Purchaser will severally, but not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, but only if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Purchaser) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Purchaser expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that each Purchaser’s aggregate liability under this Section 7 shall not exceed the amount of proceeds received by such Purchaser on the sale of the Offered ADSs pursuant to the Registration Statement.

23
 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7.3 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7.3 promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.3 to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party, and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, that there may be a conflict of interest between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7.3 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to such indemnifying party, representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action without its written consent. In no event shall any indemnifying party be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying party shall have approved in writing the terms of such settlement; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

24
 

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.3 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7.3 in respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Purchaser from the private placement of Offered Securities hereunder or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but the relative fault of the Company and the Purchaser in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement and/or the Registration Statement that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the amount paid by such Purchaser to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for the Registrable Securities purchased by such Purchaser that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement bears to the difference (the “Difference”) between the amount such Purchaser paid for the Registrable Securities that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and the amount received by such Purchaser from such sale. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and each Purchaser on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation and/or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.3, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.3 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this paragraph (d); provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under paragraph (c) for purposes of indemnification. The Company and the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.3 were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchaser were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.3, no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Difference exceeds the amount of any damages that such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7.3 are several and not joint.

25
 

7.5 Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The restrictions imposed by Section 5.9 or Section 7.2 upon the transferability of the Registrable Securities shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Registrable Securities at such time as an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act.

7.6 Information Available. The Company, upon the reasonable request of the Purchaser, shall make available for inspection by each Purchaser, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Purchaser or any such underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by the Purchaser or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Registration Statement.

The Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information to the Purchaser, or to advisors to or representatives of the Purchaser, unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and provides the Purchaser, such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review and the Purchaser wishing to obtain such information enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect thereto.

7.7 Delay in Effectiveness of Registration Statement. If the Registration Statement is not filed by the Company with the Commission on or prior to the Effective Deadline, then for each day following the Effective Deadline, until but excluding the date the Commission declares the Registration Statement effective, the Company shall, for each such day, pay the Purchaser with respect to any such failure, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount per 30-day period equal to 1.0% of the purchase price paid by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement; and for any such 30-day period, such payment shall be made no later than three business days following such 30-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 7.6 (i) to more than one Purchaser in respect of the same Registrable Securities for the same period of time or (ii) in an aggregate amount that exceeds 4% of the purchase price paid by the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement. Such payments shall be made to the Purchasers in cash.

SECTION 8. Broker’s Fee. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company intends to pay to the Placement Agents a fee in respect of the sale of the Offered Securities to the Purchaser. The Purchaser and the Company agree that the Purchaser shall not be responsible for such fee and that the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each Purchaser/Affiliate against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which such Purchaser or Purchaser/Affiliate may become subject with respect to such fee. Each of the parties hereto represents that, on the basis of any actions and agreements by it, there are no other brokers or finders entitled to compensation in connection with the sale of the Offered Securities to the Purchaser.

26
 

SECTION 9. Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Purchaser under the Agreements. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase the Offered Securities pursuant to the Agreements has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser. Nothing contained in the Agreements, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Agreements. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in the Offered Securities or enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

SECTION 10. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be mailed by first-class registered or certified airmail, e-mail, confirmed facsimile or nationally recognized overnight express courier postage prepaid, and shall be deemed given when so mailed and shall be delivered as addressed as follows:

This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the federal law of the United States of America and the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of New York to the rights and duties of the parties. Each of the Company and the Purchaser submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Company and the Purchaser irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

SECTION 15. Counterparts.

The term “successor and assigns” shall not include any subsequent purchaser, as such purchaser, of the Offered Securities sold to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 19. Further Assurances. Each party agrees to cooperate fully with the other parties and to execute such further instruments, documents and agreements and to give such further written assurance as may be reasonably requested by any other party to evidence and reflect the transactions described herein and contemplated hereby and to carry into effect the intents and purposes of this Agreement.

Re: BioLineRx Ltd. (the “Company”) PIPE Transaction

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

___________________, a purchaser in the PIPE transaction of BioLineRx Ltd. (the “Company”), understands that the American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”), each of which represents ten ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.01 per share, of the Company, were offered and sold in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and that the Company is relying on the truth and accuracy of, and compliance by each purchaser with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgements and understandings made by the purchaser pursuant to Section 5 of that certain Purchase Agreement, dated on or about February __, 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”) as executed by the Company and the purchaser.

In connection therewith, we hereby covenant with the Company not to make any sale of the ADSs without complying in all material respects with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement and without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act to be satisfied. We agree with the Company that the shares will be transferable only upon the delivery to the depositary of the Purchaser’s Certificate of Subsequent Sale pursuant to the Registration Statement (included as an appendix to the Purchase Agreement). We acknowledge receipt of the shares, free of restrictive legend, in recognition of the fact that a registration statement relating to their resale by us from time to time has been declared effective, subject to these limitations on transferability. We further understand that you will be relying on our representations and covenants made in the Purchase Agreement and in this letter.

Sincerely,

Warrant To Purchase American Depositary Shares

 

Warrant No.:                                                                                                                                          

Number of American Depositary Shares:_____________

Date of Issuance: February ___, 2012 (“Issuance Date”)

 

BioLineRx, Ltd., an Israeli company (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, ___________, 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, pursuant to this Warrant to Purchase American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) (including any Warrants to Purchase ADSs 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), _________ (_______)ADSs (the “Warrant ADSs”).  For purposes of clarification, each ADS represents ten ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.01 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of the Company. Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 15.  This Warrant is one of a series of similar warrants to purchase ADSs issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) dated as of February __, 2012 (the “Subscription Date”).

 

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

 

(a) Mechanics of Exercise.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date, in whole or in part, by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant ADSs available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant ADSs available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant ADSs purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant ADSs purchased.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant ADSs purchased and the date of such purchases.  The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant ADSs hereunder, the number of Warrant ADSs available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.  On or before the first (1st) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder and The Bank of New York Mellon, the Depositary (“Depositary”) for the ADSs.  On or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (X) issue and deposit with the Depositary a number of Ordinary Shares that will be represented by the number of Warrant ADSs to which the Holder is entitled in respect of that exercise, (Y) pay the fee of the Depositary for the issuance of that number of ADSs and (Z) instruct the Depositary to execute and deliver to that Holder an American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) evidencing that number of Warrant ADSs. The exercise by the Holder of this Warrant must be pursuant to a valid exemption from registration under the Securities Act or a transaction not subject to the registration provisions of that Act, and permissible under applicable Israeli securities laws and the ADR evidencing the Warrant ADSs shall bear a restrictive legend. No fractional ADSs are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. If any fractional share of an ADS would, except for the provisions of the prior sentence, be deliverable upon such exercise, the Company, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, shall pay to the exercising Holder an amount in cash equal to the Closing Sale Price on the Principal Market of such fractional ADS on the date of exercise.  The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant ADSs upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

 

1
 

 

(b) Exercise Price.  For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $3.57, 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 to take the actions specified in the preceding paragraph within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Notice in compliance with the terms of this Section 1, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) ADSs to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of ADSs issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) 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, if any) for the ADSs so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Warrant ADSs) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Warrant ADSs (or, at the option of the Holder, reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant ADSs for which such exercise was not honored) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of ADSs, times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed.

 

(d) Payment of Exercise Price.  The Company shall promptly, and in no case later than the Business Day immediately following such receipt, confirm receipt of an Exercise Notice via facsimile to the number specified in such Exercise Notice.  Within two (2) Trading Days of the date of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall make payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant ADSs as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

 

2
 

 

(e) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if at any time between the six (6) month anniversary of the Issuance Date and the Expiration Date, the Registration Statement covering the Warrant ADSs that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “Unavailable Warrant ADSs”), or an exemption from registrationis not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant ADSs as of the date the Company receives an Exercise Notice with respect to such Unavailable Warrant ADSs, 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 pursuant to paragraph (d) above, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of ADSs determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

 

  X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:  
  X = the Net Number of Warrant ADSs to be issued to the Holder.
   
  Y = the number of Warrant ADSs with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.
   
  A = the Closing Sale Price of the ADSs on the Principal Market immediately prior to (but no including) the Exercise Date.
   
  B = the Exercise Price.

 

 

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Registration Statement is available at the time this Warrant is exercised, the Holder shall have no rights under this paragraph (e) to cashless exercise and the Warrant shall only be exercisable for the Exercise Price payable in cash.

 

(f) Rule 144.  For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date hereof, it is intended that the Warrant ADSs issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant ADSs shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.

 

 

(g) Disputes.  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant ADSs, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant ADSs that are not disputed.

 

2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES.  The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant ADSs shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(a)      Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Ordinary Shares or ADSs.  If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding Ordinary Shares or ADSs into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant ADSs will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding Ordinary Shares or ADSs into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant ADSs will be proportionately decreased.  Any adjustment under this Section 2(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(b) Other Events.  If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant ADSs so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(b) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant ADSs as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.

 

3
 

 

 

3. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS.  If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, stock split, spin off, subdivision, 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:

 

(a) any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Closing Bid Price of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as applicable, on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one Ordinary Share or ADS, as applicable, and (ii) the denominator shall be the Closing Bid Price of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as applicable on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and

 

(b) the number of Warrant ADSs shall be increased or decreased to a number equal to the number of ADSs obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as applicable, entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph (a); provided that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of common stock (“Other Shares of Common Stock”) of a company whose common shares are traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an adjustment in the number of Warrant ADSs, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding paragraph (a) and the number of Warrant ADSs calculated in accordance with the first part of this paragraph (b).

 

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 rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

(b) In connection with any Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall make appropriate provision so that this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for shares of the Successor Entity based upon the conversion ratio or other consideration payable in the Fundamental Transaction. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.

 

In the event that any person becomes a Parent Entity of the Company, such person shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such person had been named as the Company herein.

5. NONCIRCUMVENTION.  The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable ADSs upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as this Warrant is outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, 100% of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

 

6. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A SHAREHOLDER.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company or a holder of ADSs for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant ADSs which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant.  In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

7. REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.

 

(a) Transfer of Warrant.  If this Warrant is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant ADSs being transferred by the Holder and, if less then the total number of Warrant ADSs then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant ADSs not being transferred.
