THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (together with its exhibits and schedules, this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 15, 2021, by and among Mer Telemanagement Solutions Ltd., an Israeli limited company (“MTS”), New SL Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of MTS (“Merger Sub”), and SharpLink, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”).

Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.

C.          The Board of Directors of Merger Sub has determined that the Merger is fair to, advisable, and in the best interests of, Merger Sub, and has approved this Agreement and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the sole stockholder of the Merger Sub has approved and adopted this Agreement, the Merger and the applicable Contemplated Transactions.
 
D.          The Company’s Board of Directors (i) has determined that the Merger is fair to, advisable, and in the best interests of, the Company and the Company Shareholders, (ii) has deemed advisable and approved the Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions and the other actions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii) has determined to recommend, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, that the Company Shareholders vote to adopt this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.
 
E.          The requisite Company Shareholders have approved the Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.
          
F.          Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as a condition and inducement to the Company’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, (a) the representation letter in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B is being executed and delivered to the Company by the MTS shareholder named therein providing, among other things, that such shareholder intends to vote such shareholders’s MTS Share Capital in favor of the Merger and the Contemplated Transactions and that such shareholder has voted against a proposal to replace certain existing members of the MTS Board, and (b) the shareholders of MTS listed in Section A of the MTS Disclosure Schedule (the MTS Lock-Up Signatories”) (solely in their capacity as shareholders of MTS) are executing lock-up agreements in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “MTS Lock-Up Agreements”).
 
G.         The Company executed that certain share purchase agreement dated December 23, 2020 (the “Alpha 2020 SPA”) with, and has received the Initial Investment Amount under the Alpha 2020 SPA from, Alpha Capital Anstalt (the “Investor”), and, subject only to the occurrence of the Closing hereunder, immediately prior to the Closing, the Company will, as contemplated by the Alpha 2020 SPA, receive at least the Closing Investment Amount from the Investor (the “Closing Financing”).
 

AGREEMENT
 
The Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
 
1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION
 
1.1          Structure of the Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the MBCA, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, and the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company will continue its corporate existence under the MBCA as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).
 
1.2          Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the MBCA. As a result of the Merger, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of MTS.
 
1.3          Closing; Effective Time. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.1, and subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by Law, waiver by such Party entitled to waive such condition, of the conditions set forth in Sections 6, 7 and 8, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than the second Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver by such Party entitled to waive such condition of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Sections 6, 7 and 8, other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of such conditions), or at such other time, date and place as MTS and the Company may mutually agree in writing. The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.” Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”), in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the MBCA and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the MBCA (if any). The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Articles of Merger are duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota, or at such later time as MTS and the Company shall agree and specify in the Articles of Merger (the date and time the Merger becomes effective, the “Effective Time”).
 
1.4          Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Articles of Association; Directors and Officers. At the Effective Time:
 
(a)          From and after the Effective Time and until further amended in accordance with Law, (i) the articles of incorporation of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation; provided, however, that, at the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation of the Company shall be amended and restated in its entirety in a form to be agreed upon by MTS and the Company, and (ii) the bylaws of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation;
 
(b)          the Articles of Association of MTS shall be the Articles of Association of MTS immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended as provided by the Companies Law and such Articles of Association; provided, however, that immediately prior to the Effective Time, MTS shall effect one or more amendments to its Articles of Association in effect on the date hereof (“MTS Articles”), to the extent approved by the MTS Shareholders as contemplated by Section 5.2, to (i) change the name of MTS to “Sharplink Ltd.” or such other name to be approved by the Parties and the Israeli Registrar of Companies (ii) effect the Reverse Split, and (iii) increase the number of authorized MTS Ordinary Shares and create two new classes of preferred shares of MTS (“MTS New Preferred A-1 Shares” and “MTS New Preferred B Shares,” respectively), in each case as reflected in the form of amended and restated articles of association attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Restated MTS Articles”); and
 
2

(c)          Immediately following the Closing, the board of directors of MTS shall, subject to compliance with applicable Law, appoint as the officers of MTS those persons designated by the Company. Except for those persons designated by the Company prior to the Effective Time, MTS shall cause the persons serving as directors and/or officers of MTS immediately prior to the Effective Time to resign at the Closing from all of their current director and officer positions with MTS not designated by the Company, all subject to compliance with applicable Law.  The newly-appointed directors and officers of MTS shall hold office for the term specified in, and subject to the provisions contained in, the Restated MTS Articles and applicable Law. The Parties shall take all necessary action so that immediately after the Effective Time, (a) the MTS Board will consist of the number of members designated by the Company and the specific individuals to serve as such members as designated by the Company, who shall qualify with the applicable Companies Law, Nasdaq and SEC requirements for directors and their qualification to serve on the existing committees of the MTS Board (the “Company’s Board Nominees”), which will be included in the Proxy Statement as director nominees, and which will include two nominees for outside directors as required under the Companies Law, (b) the Persons designated by the Company as officers are elected or appointed, as applicable, to the positions of officers of MTS, as designated by the Company, to serve in such positions effective as of the Effective Time until successors are duly appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable Law.
 
(d)          From and after the Effective Time, the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be the persons designated by the Company prior to the Effective Time. These directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation shall hold office for the term specified in, and subject to the provisions contained in, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and applicable Law. If, at or after the Effective Time, a vacancy shall exist on the board of directors or in any of the offices of the Surviving Corporation, such vacancy shall be filled in the manner provided in the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
 
1.5          Conversion of Company Securities.
 
(a)          At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of MTS, Merger Sub, the Company or any shareholder of the Company or shareholder of MTS, the following shall occur:
 
(i)          subject to Section 1.5(e), each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding Dissenting Shares) shall be automatically converted solely into the right to receive a number of MTS Ordinary Shares calculated in accordance with the Exchange Ratio;
 
(ii)         subject to Section 1.5(e), each share of Company Preferred A Stock (if any) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted solely into the right to receive a number of MTS New Preferred A-1 Shares calculated in accordance with the Preferred A Exchange Ratio;
 
3

(iii)         subject to Section 1.5(e), each share of Company Preferred A-1 Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted solely into the right to receive a number of MTS New Preferred A-1 Shares calculated in accordance with the Exchange Ratio;
 
(iv)          subject to Section 1.5(e), each share of Company Preferred B Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted solely into the right to receive a number of MTS New Preferred B Shares calculated in accordance with the Exchange Ratio (the MTS Ordinary Shares, MTS New Preferred A-1 Shares and MTS New Preferred B Shares to be issued in connection with the Merger shall hereinafter be referred to, together, as the “Merger Consideration”).
 
(b)          At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Company Plan, whether or not vested, shall be converted into and become an option to purchase MTS Ordinary Shares, and MTS shall assume the Company Plan and each such Company Option in accordance with the terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) of the Company Plan and the terms of the stock option agreement by which such Company Option is evidenced (but with changes to such documents as MTS in good faith determines are appropriate to reflect the substitution of the Company Options by options to purchase MTS Ordinary Shares). All rights with respect to Company Common Stock under Company Options assumed by MTS shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to MTS Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (i) each Company Option assumed by MTS may be exercised solely for MTS Ordinary Shares; (ii) the number of MTS Ordinary Shares subject to each Company Option assumed by MTS shall be determined by multiplying (A) the number of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number to the nearest whole number of MTS Ordinary Shares; (iii) the per share exercise price for the MTS Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of each Company Option assumed by MTS shall be determined by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (iv) any restriction on the exercise of any Company Options assumed by MTS shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability and other provisions of such Company Options shall otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that: (A) MTS may amend the terms of the Company Options to reflect MTS’s substitution of the Company Options with options to purchase MTS Ordinary Shares (such as by making any change in control or similar definition relate to MTS and having any provision that provides for the adjustment of Company Options upon the occurrence of certain corporate events that relate to MTS and/or MTS Ordinary Shares); and (B) the MTS Board or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company Board of any committee thereof with respect to each Company Option assumed by MTS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.5(b), the conversion of each Company Option (regardless of whether such option qualifies as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) into an option to purchase MTS Ordinary Shares shall be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.424-1 and 1.409A-1(b)(5), such that the conversion of a Company Option shall not constitute a “modification” of such Company Option for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions that may be necessary (under the Company Plan and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.5(b) and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, holders of Company Options have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 1.5(b).  MTS agrees to use its best efforts to take such actions as are necessary to ensure that all Company Options which are deemed “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code remain “incentive stock options.”
 
(c)          At the Effective Time, each Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not exercisable, shall be converted into and become a warrant to purchase MTS Ordinary Shares, and MTS shall assume each such Company Warrant in accordance with its terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) (but with changes to such documents as MTS in good faith determines are appropriate to reflect the substitution of the Company Warrants by warrants to purchase MTS Ordinary Shares). All rights with respect to Company Common Stock under Company Warrants assumed by MTS shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to MTS Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (i) each Company Warrant assumed by MTS may be exercised solely for MTS Ordinary Shares; (ii) the number of MTS Ordinary Shares subject to each Company Warrant assumed by MTS shall be determined by multiplying (A) the number of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number to the nearest whole number of MTS Ordinary Shares; (iii) the per share exercise price for the MTS Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of each Company Warrant assumed by MTS shall be determined by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (iv) any restriction on the exercise of any Company Warrant assumed by MTS shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Company Warrant shall otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that MTS may amend the terms of the Company Warrants to reflect MTS’s substitution of the Company Warrants with warrants to purchase MTS Ordinary Shares (such as by having any provision that provides for the adjustment of Company Warrants upon the occurrence of certain corporate events that relate to MTS and/or MTS Ordinary Shares).  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions that may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.5(c) and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, holders of Company Warrants have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 1.5(c).
 
4

(d)          If any shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option or a risk of forfeiture under any applicable restricted share purchase agreement or other similar agreement with the Company, then the MTS Ordinary Shares issued in exchange for such shares of Company Capital Stock will to the same extent be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option or risk of forfeiture, and the book-entry MTS Ordinary Shares shall accordingly be marked with appropriate legends. The Company shall take all actions that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, MTS is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in any such restricted share purchase agreement or other agreement in accordance with its terms.
 
(a)          No fractional MTS Ordinary Shares, MTS New Preferred A-1 Shares or MTS New Preferred B Shares shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of Company Capital Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of an MTS Ordinary Share, MTS New Preferred A-1 Shares or MTS New Preferred B Shares (after separately aggregating all fractional MTS Ordinary Shares, all fractional MTS New Preferred A-1 Shares and all fractional MTS New Preferred B Shares issuable to such holder) shall not receive such fraction, and shall instead receive such amount rounded to the nearest whole number of MTS Ordinary Shares, MTS New Preferred A-1 Shares and MTS New Preferred B Shares, as the case may be.
 
(f)          Each share of common stock, $0.001 par value, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically and without further action be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall, as of the Effective Time, evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
 
(g)          If, between the time of calculating the Exchange Ratio and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock or the MTS Share Capital shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares or other like change (including the Reverse Split to the extent such split has not been previously taken into account in calculating the Exchange Ratio), the Exchange Ratio shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change to the extent necessary to provide the holders of Company Capital Stock, Company Options and Company Warrants with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that nothing herein will be construed to permit the Company or MTS to take any action with respect to Company Capital Stock or MTS Share Capital, respectively, that is prohibited or not expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
 
(h)          A capitalization table reflecting the current capitalization of the Company, the current capitalization of MTS and the pro forma capitalization of MTS immediately post-Closing, assuming no additional securities or rights to receive securities exist, is attached hereto as Schedule 1.5(h).
 
5

1.6          MTS Closing Schedule.
 
(a)          For the purposes of this Agreement, (i) the “Anticipated Closing Date” shall be the date, as agreed upon by MTS and the Company, to be the anticipated date for Closing. At least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the MTS Shareholders’ Meeting, MTS shall provide the Company with a schedule prepared and certified by such MTS’s Chief Financial Officer (the “MTS Closing Schedule”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, MTS’s good faith estimates of the: (i) MTS Cash at Closing as of the Anticipated Closing Date and (ii) Transaction Expenses that will not have been paid by MTS as of the Anticipated Closing Date (each of the foregoing a “Closing Estimate,” and collectively, the “Closing Estimates”).  MTS shall make available the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing its MTS Closing Schedule and each of the Closing Estimates, as reasonably requested by the Company.
 
(b)          Within five (5) calendar days after delivery of the MTS Closing Schedule (the “Response Date”), the Company will have the right to dispute any part of the Closing Estimates provided to it by delivering a written notice to that effect to MTS (a “Dispute Notice”). Any Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail the nature of the proposed revisions to the Closing Estimates and any information available and known to the Company at such time related to the nature of any proposed revisions to the Closing Estimates.
 
(c)          If on or prior to the Response Date, the Company: (i) notifies MTS in writing that it has no objections to the Closing Estimates or (ii) fails to deliver a Dispute Notice as provided in Section 1.6(b), then the Closing Estimates as set forth in the MTS Closing Schedule shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement.
 
(d)          If the Company delivers a Dispute Notice on or prior to the Response Date, then Representatives of the Company and MTS shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Closing Estimates, which agreed-upon Closing Estimates shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement, subject to Section 1.6(f).

(e)          If Representatives of MTS and the Company are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Closing Estimates as of the Anticipated Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.6(d) within three (3) calendar days after delivery of the Dispute Notice (or such other period as MTS and the Company may mutually agree upon), then the Chief Executive Officer of MTS and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall promptly meet and agree on such items. If the Chief Executive Officer of MTS and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Closing Estimates within three (3) calendar days thereafter (or such other period as MTS and the Company may mutually agree upon), then MTS and the Company shall engage KPMG (the “Accounting Firm”) to finally determine the Closing Estimates as soon as reasonably practicable; provided that if the Accounting Firm has provided any other services to either Party or their respective Affiliates within the three-year period preceding such date of engagement, MTS and the Company shall mutually agree upon an alternative internationally recognized independent public accounting firm to serve as the Accounting Firm. MTS shall promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Closing Estimates set forth in the MTS Closing Schedule, and MTS and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within seven (7) calendar days of engaging the Accounting Firm. The Company and MTS shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material related to the unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm; provided, however, that no such presentation or discussion shall occur without the presence of a Representative of each of the Company and MTS. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Accounting Firm. The determination of the amount of the Closing Estimates made by the Accounting Firm shall be deemed to have been determined for purposes of this Agreement and, subject to Section 1.6(f), to represent the Closing Estimates at the Anticipated Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement, and the Parties shall delay the Closing until the resolution of the matters described in this Section 1.6(e). The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between MTS and Company in the same proportion that the disputed amount of the Closing Estimates that were unsuccessfully disputed by such Party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed Closing Estimates.

(f)          Notwithstanding anything the contrary in this Section 1.6, (i) MTS shall promptly notify the Company if MTS expects any change of $50,000 or more, individually or in the aggregate, to the estimated MTS Cash at Closing and/or MTS Transaction Expenses set forth in the MTS Closing Schedule, and (ii) the Company may request an updated MTS Closing Schedule and re-determination of the Closing Estimates upon receipt of such notification and/or if the Closing Date is reasonably expected to be occur later than five (5) Business Days after the Anticipated Closing Date.
 
1.7          Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (a) all shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be treated in accordance with Section 1.5(a), and all holders of certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of the Company; and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Capital Stock shall be made on such share transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Company Stock Certificate”) is presented to MTS or its designated exchange agent, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Sections 1.5 and 1.8.
 
1.8          Surrender of Certificates; Exchange of Securities.
 
(a)          On and after the Effective Time and until surrendered for exchange, each outstanding Company Stock Certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Capital Stock (except dissenting shares) shall be deemed for all purposes, to evidence ownership of and to represent the number of whole shares of MTS Ordinary Shares, MTS New Preferred A-1 Shares or MTS New Preferred B Shares, as the case may be, into which such shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been exchanged pursuant to Section 1.5 above. The record holder of each outstanding share of Company Capital Stock shall, after the Effective Time, be entitled to vote the shares of MTS Ordinary Shares, MTS New Preferred A-1 Shares or MTS New Preferred B Shares, as the case may be, into which such shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been exchanged on any matters on which the holders of record of MTS Ordinary Shares, MTS New Preferred A-1 Shares and/or MTS New Preferred B Shares, as of any date subsequent to the Effective Time, shall be entitled to vote. MTS may rely conclusively upon the record of shareholders maintained by the Company containing the names and addresses of the holders of record of Company Capital Stock as of the Effective Time.  
 
7

(b)          Promptly after the Effective Time, MTS or its exchange agent shall mail to the Persons who were record holders of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, as set forth on the Allocation Certificate: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form; and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates representing such holder’s Company Common Stock in exchange for restricted book-entry MTS Ordinary Shares. Upon surrender of the Company Stock Certificate(s) representing Company Common Stock to MTS or its exchange agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by MTS or its exchange agent: (A) the holder of such Company Common Stock shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor one or more restricted book-entry shares representing the portion of the Merger Consideration (in MTS Ordinary Shares) that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5; and (B) if applicable, upon delivery of such consideration to the applicable holder in accordance with Section 1.5, the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. In addition, promptly after the Effective Time, the Investor will execute a letter of transmittal in connection with its Company Preferred A Stock, Company Preferred A-1 Stock and Company Preferred B Stock and will surrender its Company Stock Certificates, if any were issued, representing such Company Capital Stock to MTS or its exchange agent, and upon delivery of such letter of transmittal and surrender to MTS, the Investor shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable MTS New Preferred A-1 Shares and MTS New Preferred B Shares in accordance with Section 1.5.
 
(c)          Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.8, each share of Company Capital Stock shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive MTS Ordinary Shares, MTS New Preferred A-1 Shares or MTS New Preferred B Shares, as the case may be, representing the Merger Consideration, and the right to vote on MTS shareholder matters as set forth in Section 1.8(a). If any Company Stock Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, MTS may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the delivery of any restricted MTS Ordinary Shares, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an applicable affidavit with respect to such Company Stock Certificate and post a bond indemnifying MTS against any claim suffered by MTS related to the lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate or any restricted MTS Ordinary Shares issued in exchange therefor as MTS may reasonably request.
 
(d)          No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to MTS Share Capital with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate until such holder surrenders such Company Stock Certificate or provides an affidavit of loss or destruction in lieu thereof in accordance with this Section 1.8 (at which time (or, if later, on the applicable payment date) such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).
 
(e)          MTS, its exchange agent (if any), Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and their respective agents shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of any Company Capital Stock such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld from such consideration if such withholding is required under any applicable Israeli or U.S. Tax laws. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, and remitted to the appropriate Tax authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid; notwithstanding the foregoing, MTS, its exchange agent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and their respective agents shall not withhold any such Tax (or shall withhold at a reduced rate) with respect to any holder of Company Capital Stock, Company Options or Company Warrants if such holder delivers to the MTS, its exchange agent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or their applicable agents, together with the exchanged Company Stock Certificate, Company Options or Company Warrants, as applicable, a validly executed IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable, including supporting documentation to the extent required, indicating a valid exemption from or qualification for a reduced rate of U.S. Tax withholding, and, with respect to holders of Company Options, a validly executed declaration of non-Israeli residence in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E.
 
8

(f)          All MTS Ordinary Shares, MTS New Preferred A-1 Shares and MTS New Preferred B Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall bear a legend (and MTS will make a notation on its transfer books to such effect) prominently stamped or printed thereon or the substance of which will otherwise be reflected on the books and records of the transfer agent for MTS Ordinary Shares or in the ledgers of the holders of the MTS New Preferred A-1 Shares and MTS New Preferred B Shares, in each case reading substantially as follows:
 
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE ISRAELI SECURITIES LAW, 5728-1968. THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO RESALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT, AND (2) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ISRAELI SECURITIES LAW, 5728-1968.”
 
1.9          Appraisal RightsNotwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held of record or beneficially by a Person who has not voted in favor of approval and adoption of this Agreement and who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such Shares (“Dissenting Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Sections 471 and 473 of the MBCA (the “Appraisal Rights”), shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration for such Dissenting Shares but instead shall be entitled to payment of the fair value (including interest determined in accordance with Section 473 of the MBCA) of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the Appraisal Rights (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights set forth in Section 471 and 473 of the MBCA); provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to dissent under the Appraisal Rights or become ineligible for such payment and appraisal, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the date on which such holder withdraws such demand or otherwise becomes ineligible for such payment and appraisal, the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, their respective portion of the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon.  The Company shall serve reasonably prompt notice to MTS of any demands received by the Company for Appraisal Rights with respect to any Company Capital Stock, and MTS shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of MTS (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demand, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

1.10          Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by the Surviving Corporation or MTS to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest MTS with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of the Company, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation or MTS shall be fully authorized, and shall use their and its commercially reasonable efforts (in the name of MTS, the Company, in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Surviving Corporation and otherwise) to take such action.
 
1.11          Tax Consequences.
 
(a)          For federal income Tax purposes, the Merger is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Parties hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g).

(c)          If any Party or any Representative or Subsidiary of such Party receives an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry at any time during the Pre-Closing Period, then such Party shall promptly (and in no event later than one Business Day after such Party becomes aware of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry) advise the other Party(ies) in writing of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry (including the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, and the terms thereof). Such Party shall keep the other Party(ies) fully informed, on a current basis, in all material respects with respect to the status and terms of any such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry and any modification or proposed modification thereto. In addition to the foregoing, each Party shall provide the other Party(ies) with at least five (5) Business Days’ written notice of a meeting of its board of directors (or any committee thereof) at which its board of directors (or any committee thereof) is reasonably expected to consider an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry it has received.

No notification given to a Party pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall change, limit or otherwise affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of the Notifying Party contained in this Agreement or the Notifying Party’s Disclosure Schedule for purposes of Sections 6, 7 or 8, as applicable.

MTS covenants and agrees that the Proxy Statement, including any pro forma financial statements included therein (and the notice of meeting and form of proxy included therewith), will not, at the time that the Proxy Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto is filed with the SEC or is first mailed to MTS’s shareholders contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company covenants and agrees that the information provided by the Company to MTS for inclusion in the Proxy Statement (including the Company Financials, description of the Company’s business, risk factors and any other disclosure deemed required or advisable by the Parties) will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make such information not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MTS makes no covenant, representation or warranty with respect to statements made in the Proxy Statement (and the notice of meeting and form of proxy included therewith), if any, based on information provided by the Company or any of their Representatives for inclusion therein. The Company and its legal counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement, including all amendments and supplements thereto, prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. Each of the Parties shall make commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to comply with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and by the Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder. MTS shall make commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to MTS’s shareholders in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and under the Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each Party shall promptly furnish to the other Party all information concerning such Party and such Party’s Affiliates and such Party’s shareholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.1. If MTS, Merger Sub or the Company become aware of any event or information that, pursuant to the Exchange Act, should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, then such Party shall promptly inform the other Parties thereof and shall cooperate with such other Parties in filing such amendment or supplement with the SEC and, if appropriate, in mailing such amendment or supplement to MTS’s shareholders.
 
56

(b)          The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other and provide, and require their respective Representatives to provide, the other Party and its Representatives, with all true, correct and complete information regarding such Party or its Subsidiaries that is required by Law to be included in the Proxy Statement or reasonably requested by the other Party to be included in the Proxy Statement.
 
5.2          MTS Shareholders’ Meeting; Merger Sub Approval.
 
(a)          Promptly after the Proxy Statement has been finalized in accordance with Section 5.1, MTS shall take all action necessary under applicable Law to call, give notice of and hold a meeting of the holders of MTS Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis, in accordance with the MTS Articles) for the purpose of seeking approval of (i) the change of control of MTS resulting from the Merger pursuant to the Nasdaq rules, (ii) the issuance of a “control stake” (dvukat shlita) or more than 45% of the voting rights, as the case may be, to SportsHub Games Network, Inc. pursuant to the terms of Section 328(b)(1) of the Companies Law, (iii) the issuance of the MTS Ordinary Shares, MTS New Preferred A-1 Shares and MTS New Preferred B Shares in an unregistered offering pursuant to the Nasdaq rules, (iv) the adoption of the Restated MTS Articles, which shall include (A) an increase to the Company’s registered capital and, if agreed by the Parties, changes to reflect the Reverse Split, (B) the creation of the MTS New Preferred A-1 Shares and MTS New Preferred B Shares and (C) a name change of MTS (subject to consent of the Israeli Companies Registrar), effective upon the Merger, (v) the election of the Company’s board nominees as board members, commencing at the Effective Time, (vi) the purchase by MTS of the D&O Tail Policy, (vii) the adoption of the form of Indemnification Agreement to be entered into by each member of MTS’s Board of Directors and officers from time to time (post-Closing), (viii) adoption of the Company Plan and New Company Plan by MTS, as determined by the Company, and (ix) any other matter required or advisable, at the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors of MTS or the Company and as agreed to by the other Party, including without limitation, compensation matters, in order to give effect to, and reflect governance, leadership and operational changes in connection with, the transactions contemplated under this Agreement (the matters contemplated by this Section 5.2(a) are referred to as the “MTS Shareholder Matters,” and such meeting, the “MTS Shareholders’ Meeting”).
 
(b)          The MTS Shareholders’ Meeting shall be held as promptly as practicable after the Proxy Statement has been finalized in accordance with Section 5.1. MTS shall take reasonable measures to ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with the MTS Shareholders’ Meeting are solicited in compliance with all applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if on the date of the MTS Shareholders’ Meeting, or a date preceding the date on which the MTS Shareholders’ Meeting is scheduled, MTS reasonably believes that: (i) it will not receive proxies sufficient to obtain the Required MTS Shareholder Vote, whether or not a quorum would be present or (ii) it will not have sufficient MTS Ordinary Shares represented (whether in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the MTS Shareholders’ Meeting, MTS may postpone or adjourn, or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of, the MTS Shareholders’ Meeting as long as the date of the MTS Shareholders’ Meeting is not postponed or adjourned more than an aggregate of 60 calendar days in connection with any postponements or adjournments.
 
57

(c)          MTS agrees that, subject to Section 5.2(d): (1) the MTS Board shall recommend that MTS’s shareholders vote to approve the MTS Shareholder Matters, (2) the Proxy Statement shall include a statement to the effect that the MTS Board recommends that MTS’s shareholders vote to approve the MTS Shareholder Matters (the “MTS Board Recommendation”); and (3) the MTS Board Recommendation shall not be withheld, amended, withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to the Company without the Company’s prior written consent (the actions set forth in the foregoing clause (iii), collectively, an “MTS Board Adverse Recommendation Change”).
 
(d)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the receipt of the Required MTS Shareholder Vote, the MTS Board may make an MTS Board Adverse Recommendation Change, if (i) without any a breach of (or in violation of) Section 4.4, the MTS Board has received an Acquisition Proposal that the MTS Board has determined in its reasonable, good faith judgment, after consultation with MTS’s outside legal counsel, constitutes a Superior Offer, and (ii) the MTS Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with MTS’s outside legal counsel, that given the Superior Offer, failing to make an MTS Board Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably constitute a breach of its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law; provided, however, that prior to MTS taking any action permitted under this Section 5.2(d), MTS must (1) promptly notify the Company, in writing, within the Notice Period before making an MTS Board Adverse Recommendation Change, of its intention to take such action with respect to a Superior Offer, which notice shall state expressly that MTS has received an Acquisition Proposal that the MTS Board intends to declare a Superior Offer and that the MTS Board intends to make an MTS Board Adverse Recommendation Change, and (2) attach to such notice the most current version of the proposed agreement and the identity of the third party making such Superior Offer. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit MTS or the MTS Board from making any disclosure to the MTS Shareholders if the MTS Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that such disclosure is required for the MTS Board to comply with its fiduciary duties to the MTS Shareholders under applicable Law; provided, however, that any such disclosure or public statement shall be deemed to be an MTS Board Adverse Recommendation Change subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless the MTS Board shall reaffirm the MTS Board Recommendation in such disclosure or public statement or within five (5) Business Days of such disclosure or public statement.
 
(e)          Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, and in any event within 2 Business Days thereafter, MTS, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, shall deliver to the Company a unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting that adopted and approved this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.

MTS covenants and agrees that the Registration Statement, at the time that the Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto is filed with the SEC, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company covenants and agrees that the information provided by the Company to MTS for inclusion in the Registration Statement will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make such information not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MTS makes no covenant, representation or warranty with respect to statements made in the Registration Statement, if any, based on information provided by the Company or any of its Representatives for inclusion therein. The Company and its legal counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Registration Statement, including all amendments and supplements thereto, prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. Each of the Parties shall make commercially reasonable efforts to promptly address any comments received from the SEC with respect to the Registration Statement and to cause the Registration Statement, and all amendments and supplements thereto, to comply with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and by the Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder.

It is agreed that the language of the application (or applications as the case may be) for the Tax Ruling, as well as the final version of the Tax Ruling, shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Company and MTS. MTS’s tax advisor will be provided with a prior notice on any meeting or discussion with the ITA in this regard, and if chooses, it will be allowed to participate in such meeting or discussions with the ITA; in the event MTS’s tax advisor decides not to participate in such meeting or discussion with the ITA, then immediately after such meeting or discussion, MTS’s tax advisor will be provided with an update on the content of such meeting or discussion.
 
5.5          Regulatory Approvals.
 
(a)          Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file or otherwise submit, as soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, all applications, notices, reports, filings and other documents reasonably required to be filed by such Party with or otherwise submitted by such Party to any Governmental Body with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, and to submit promptly any additional information requested by any such Governmental Body.
 
(b)          Each of the Parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with timely making all required filings and submissions and timely obtaining all related consents, permits, authorizations or approvals pursuant to Section 5.5(a); and (ii) keep the other Parties informed in all material respects and on a reasonably timely basis of any communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, any Governmental Body relating to the Contemplated Transactions.

5.6          MTS Employees and Employee Benefits.
 
(a)          For purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate, and level of benefits under the benefit plans, programs, contracts or arrangements of Company providing benefits to any Continuing Employee after the Closing (the “Post-Closing Plans”), each employee who is not an employee of any of MTS or any of its Subsidiaries who is transferred to be employed by MTS or any of its Subsidiaries (or who remains any employee of the Surviving Corporation) immediately following the Closing (“Continuing Employees”) shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its predecessors; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for purposes of each Post-Closing Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to a Continuing Employee, MTS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Post-Closing Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent and unless such conditions would have been waived or satisfied under the employee benefit plan whose coverage is being replaced under the Post-Closing Plan, and MTS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by a Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of such plan year in which coverage is replaced with coverage under a Post-Closing Plan to be taken into account under such Post-Closing Plan with respect to the plan year in which participation in such Post-Closing Plan begins for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for such plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Post-Closing Plan.
 
(b)          The provisions of this Section 5.6 are for the sole benefit of MTS and the Company and no provision of this Agreement shall: (i) create any third-party beneficiary or other rights in any Person, including rights in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any Company Benefit Plan, MTS Benefit Plan or Post-Closing Plan or rights to continued employment or service with the Company or MTS (or any Subsidiary thereof), (ii) be construed as an amendment, waiver or creation of or limitation on the ability to terminate any Company Benefit Plan, MTS Benefit Plan or Post-Closing Plan, or (iii) limit the ability of MTS to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee.
 
5.7          Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
 
(a)          From the Effective Time through the seventh anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, each of MTS and the Surviving Corporation, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director, officer, fiduciary or agent of MTS or the Company and their respective Subsidiaries, respectively (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Costs”), incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the D&O Indemnified Party is or was a director, officer, fiduciary or agent of MTS or of the Company, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. To the extent permitted by the Companies Law, each D&O Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from each of MTS and the Surviving Corporation, jointly and severally, upon receipt by MTS or the Surviving Corporation from the D&O Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided that any such person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to MTS, to the extent then required by the Companies Law, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.
 
60

(b)          The provisions of the MTS Articles with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of MTS that are presently set forth in the MTS Articles shall not be amended, modified or repealed for a period of seven years from the Effective Time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were officers or directors of MTS.

The provisions of this Section 5.7 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current and former officers and directors of MTS and the Company by Law, charter, statute, bylaw or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives, who are all intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.7 and each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 5.7.

61

 
(g)          In the event MTS or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns: (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, (ii) reincorporates into a new or existing legal entity, or (iii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of MTS or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.7. MTS shall cause the Surviving Corporation to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.7. The obligations set forth in this Section 5.7 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any D&O Indemnified Party, or any person who is a beneficiary under the policies referred to in this Section 5.7 and their heirs and representatives, without the prior written consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Party or other person.

D - 6

 
7.3.          The Series B Preferred Shares shall have the rights and preferences set forth on Exhibit A hereto in addition to the terms of the Preferred Shares generally provided in these Articles.
 
7.4.          The Preferred Shares will convert into Ordinary Shares as set forth in this Section 7.4:
 
7.4.1.          Conversions at Option of Holder. Each Preferred Share shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time at the option of the Holder thereof, into such number of Ordinary Shares (subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) determined by dividing the Per Preferred Share Purchase Price by the Conversion Price then in effect (the “Conversion Rate”). Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Company with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of Preferred Shares to be converted, the number of Preferred Shares and Ordinary Shares beneficially owned prior to the conversion at issue, and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers by facsimile or email such Notice of Conversion to the Company (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Company is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required.
 
7.4.2.          Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than two Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares which, to the extent possible, will be delivered electronically to an account established with the Transfer Agent on behalf of the Holder, or through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing Company performing similar functions. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to a Holder the applicable Conversion Shares by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 7.4.2, and if after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Preferred Shares equal to the number of shares of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion (in which case, such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to such Holder the number of Ordinary Shares that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 7.4.2. For example, if a Holder purchases Ordinary Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Preferred Shares with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Conversion Shares upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Shares as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
D - 7


7.4.3.          Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders, not less than such aggregate number of Ordinary Shares as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments set forth in Section 20) upon the conversion of the then outstanding Preferred Shares. The Company covenants that all Ordinary Shares that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue in accordance with the terms herein, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
 
7.4.4.          Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares. The Company shall round any fractional Ordinary Shares that results from the conversion of Preferred Shares either up or down, to the nearest whole Ordinary Share, as applicable (i.e., fractions of up to 0.5 shall be rounded down and fractions equal to or higher than 0.5 shall be rounded up).
 
7.4.5.          Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares upon conversion of Preferred Shares shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such Preferred Shares and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing Company performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.

7.5.          Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
 
7.5.1.          Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Company shall not affect any conversion of the Preferred Shares, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Preferred Shares, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Cap (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Preferred Shares beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties, (ii) the number of Ordinary Shares which are issuable upon exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties (the restrictions described in this sentence, the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applies, the determination of whether a Preferred Share is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of how many Preferred Shares are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the Preferred Shares may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and how many Preferred Shares are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

D - 9

 
7.5.2.          Compliance with Limitation at Conversion. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be made by the Holder and shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 7.5, in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding.
 
7.5.3.          Beneficial Ownership Cap. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. The “Beneficial Ownership Cap” shall be 9.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares held by the applicable Holder. A Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Cap applicable to its Preferred Shares, but not greater than 9.99%. Any such increase or decrease in the Beneficial Ownership Cap will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder.
 
7.5.4.          Application to Multiple Classes. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Holder owns multiple classes of Preferred Shares and Ordinary Shares, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the Beneficial Ownership Cap will apply across all classes of Preferred Shares, such that, for example, a Holder that owns 9.0% of the Ordinary Shares may vote an aggregate of all classes of Preferred Shares equal to 0.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares that would be outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the applicable number of Ordinary Shares that would be issuable upon conversion of such Preferred Shares.
 
8.           Issuance of Shares.
 
Issuance of shares of the Company shall be under the control of the Board, which shall have the authority to issue the Company’s shares or grant options or other rights to acquire shares, to such persons and on such terms and conditions as the Board may deem fit, or to delegate such authority in accordance with the Law.

A shareholder requesting the replacement of a share certificate shall bear all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the provisions of this Article.
 
10.         Owners of Shares
 
The Company shall be entitled to treat the person registered in the Register of Shareholders as the holder of any share, as the absolute owner thereof (a “Registered Holder”) and shall not, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, or as required by the Law, be obligated to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such share on the part of any other person.

Each shareholder shall pay to the Company the amount of every call so made upon him at the time(s) and place(s) designated in such call.

11.4.          If, according to the terms of issuance of any share, any amount is due at a definite date, such amount shall be paid on same date, and the holder of the same share shall be deemed, for all intents and purposes, to have duly received a call in respect of such amount.
 
11.5.          The joint holders of a share shall be bound jointly and severally to pay all calls in respect thereof. A call duly made upon one of the joint holders shall be deemed to have been duly made upon all of the joint holders.

All expenses incurred by the Company with respect to the collection of any such amount of interest, including, inter-alia, attorney’s fees and costs of legal proceedings, shall be added to, and shall constitute a part of the amount payable to the Company in respect of such call for all purposes (including the accrual of interest thereon).
 
12.2.          Upon the adoption of a resolution of forfeiture, the Board shall cause the delivery of a notice thereof to the shareholder in question. Such notice shall specify that, in the event of failure to pay the entire amount due within the period stipulated in the notice (which period shall be not less than thirty (30) days), such failure shall cause, ipso facto, the forfeiture of the shares. Prior to the expiration of such period, the Board may extend the period specified in the notice of forfeiture or nullify the resolution of forfeiture, but such nullification shall not estop nor derogate from the power of the Board to adopt a further resolution of forfeiture in respect of the non-payment of said amount.

D - 12

 
12.3.          Whenever shares are forfeited as herein provided, all dividends theretofore declared in respect thereof and not actually paid shall be deemed to have been forfeited together with the shares.

12.5.          Any share forfeited or surrendered as provided herein shall thereupon constitute the property of the Company, and may be resold. Such shares that have not yet been resold shall be considered dormant shares.
 
12.6.          Any shareholder whose shares have been forfeited or surrendered shall cease to be a shareholder in respect of the forfeited or surrendered shares, but shall, notwithstanding, be obligated to pay to the Company all amounts at the time of forfeiture or surrender due to the Company with respect thereof, including interest and expenses as aforesaid until actual repayment, whether the maturity date of same amounts is on or prior to the date of forfeiture or surrender or at any time thereafter, and the Board, in its discretion, may enforce payment of such amounts or any part thereof, unless such shares have been resold in which event the provisions of the Law shall apply. In the event of such forfeiture or surrender, the Company, by a resolution of the Board, may accelerate the maturity date(s) of any or all amounts then owed to the Company by same shareholder and not yet due, however, arising whereupon all of such amounts shall forthwith become due and payable.
 
The Board may, at any time before any share so forfeited or surrendered shall have been reissued or otherwise disposed of to a third party, nullify the forfeiture or the acceptance of the surrender on such conditions as it deems fit, but such nullification shall not estop nor derogate from the power of the Board to re-exercise its powers of forfeiture pursuant to this Article 12.

The purchaser shall not be obliged to check the regularity of the proceedings of forfeiture, surrender or enforcement of a lien or the use that was made of any consideration thereby paid with respect to the shares.
 
As of the entry of the purchaser’s name in the Register of Shareholders in respect of such shares, the validity of the sale shall not be rebutted, and the sole remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale shall be in damages, and against the Company solely.

18.9.          In the event of the deceased shareholder being a Registered Holder of Securities jointly with other persons, the surviving shareholder shall be considered the sole Registered Holder of said Securities, upon the approval of the Company, without exempting the estate of the deceased joint holder from any of the obligations relating to the jointly held Securities.

The number of shares, and other securities convertible or exercisable into shares, issued by the Company shall not exceed a maximum amount equal to the registered share capital of the Company; for this purpose, securities convertible or exercisable into shares, shall be considered as having been converted or exercised on the date of issuance.
 
20.          Adjustments and Distributions
 
20.1.          Share Dividends and Share Splits. If the Company, at any time while any Preferred Share is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in Ordinary Shares on Ordinary Shares or any other Ordinary Share Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Ordinary Shares issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, Preferred Shares), (ii) subdivides outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse share split) outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of Ordinary Shares, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 20.1 shall become effective: (i) immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or, as applicable, (ii) immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re‑classification.
 
20.2.          Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as any Preferred Shares are outstanding, if the Company declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), 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 Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete conversion of the Preferred Shares (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date on which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution, provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Cap, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Cap.
 
D - 16


20.3.          Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company completes a Fundamental Transaction, then, upon any subsequent conversion of the Preferred Shares, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation), the number of securities of the successor or acquiring company or of the Ordinary Shares of the Company, if it is the surviving company, and any additional consideration (together, the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Ordinary Shares for which the Preferred Shares being converted are convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Ordinary Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Ordinary Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the right to make the choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of Preferred Shares following such Fundamental Transaction at the same time the holders of Ordinary Shares are making their choice. To the extent necessary to effect the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a Certificate of Designation with the same terms and conditions as the applicable Preferred Share has under these Articles (including any exhibits hereto) and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company with respect to the applicable class of Preferred Shares under the Articles (including any exhibits hereto) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 20.3 pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of Preferred Shares, deliver to the Holder in exchange for Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the applicable class of Preferred Shares which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Ordinary Shares acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Preferred Share (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Preferred Share) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Preferred Share immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under these Articles (including the exhibits hereto) as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
 
D - 17


20.4.          Anti-Dilution Adjustment. As to the Series B Preferred Shares only, if and whenever the Company issues or sells Ordinary Shares and/or Ordinary Shares Equivalents (including the issuance or sale of Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its subsidiaries) for a consideration per share that is less than the Series B Preferred Shares Conversion Price then in effect (such lesser price is referred to herein as the “Discounted Per Ordinary Share Purchase Price”), which is not an Exempt Issuance (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Shares shall be reduced to equal the Discounted Per Ordinary Share Purchase Price, but in no event shall the Conversion Price become lower than the greater of (i) $0.10 or (ii) 20% of the closing price on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Effective Date (each as adjusted for any subsequent stock splits, reverse splits and similar capital adjustments).
 
20.5.          Calculations. All calculations under this Article 20 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Article 20, the number of Ordinary Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.
 
20.6.          Notice of Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Article 20, the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
 
20.7.          Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Ordinary Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Ordinary Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Ordinary Shares of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholder of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Ordinary Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Ordinary Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to each Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Register of Shareholders, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Ordinary Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Ordinary Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Ordinary Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the SEC pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K or Form 6-K, as applicable. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert the Conversion Amount of the Preferred Shares (or any part hereof) during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Company pays dividends partially in cash and partially in Series A-1 Preferred Shares, then such payment shall be distributed ratably among the Holders based upon the number of Series B Preferred Shares held by each Holder on such Dividend Payment Date.

DA - 2

Neither a Fundamental Transaction nor a Change of Control Transaction shall be deemed a Liquidation. The Company shall mail written notice of any such Liquidation, not less than 45 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each Holder.
