FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, BluePhoenix Solutions Ltd., an Israeli corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the "Issuer"), hereby certifies that ____________________________________ or its registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), up to ___________________ (_________) duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares of the Issuer (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided), at an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, subject, however, to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.  Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 8 hereof.

1.            Term.  The term of this Warrant shall commence on the date hereof and shall expire at 6:00 p.m., eastern time, on November, 201_ (such period being the "Term").

        2.    Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.

(a)           Time of Exercise.  The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part during the Term commencing on the date hereof.

(b)           Method of Exercise.  The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Issuer, and by the payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration
 
 
 
-2-

 
 
therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable at such Holder's election (i) by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Issuer, (ii) by "cashless exercise" in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section 2, but only when a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares is not then in effect, or (iii) by a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this Warrant (if the conditions in section (ii) herein are met).

(c)            Cashless Exercise.  Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary and commencing on the earlier of (i) the date that the Warrant Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 upon a cashless exercise of this Warrant and (ii) one (1) year following the Original Issue Date, in each case, if a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares being exercised is not then in effect, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of Ordinary Shares equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Issuer shall issue to the Holder a number of Ordinary Shares computed using the following formula:

X = Y - (A)(Y)
                  B
 
Where
X =
the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Holder.

 
Y =
the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant assuming for such purpose cash exercise or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.

 
A =
the Warrant Price.

B =            the Per Share Market Value of one Ordinary Share.

(d)            Issuance of Share Certificates.  In the event of any exercise of this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise (the “Delivery Date”) or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares is then in effect), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the Warrant Shares so purchased as of the date of such exercise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if such exercise is in connection with a sale and the Issuer and its transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system.  The Holder shall deliver this original Warrant, or an indemnification undertaking with
 
 
 
-3-

 
respect to such Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction, at such time that this Warrant is fully exercised.  With respect to partial exercises of this Warrant, the Issuer shall keep written records for the Holder of the number of Warrant Shares exercised as of each date of exercise.

(e)            Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise.  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Issuer shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Issuer was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares that would have been issued had the Issuer timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases Ordinary Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Ordinary Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Issuer written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Issuer.  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 Issuer’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Ordinary Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.  If the Issuer fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 2(e)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
 
(f)            Transferability of Warrant.  Subject to Section 5.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant may be transferred by a Holder, in whole or in part, without the consent of the Issuer.  If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer.  This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Issuer for Warrants to purchase the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of Warrant Shares as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange.  All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

(g)            Continuing Rights of Holder.  The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford such rights to such Holder.

(h)            Compliance with Securities Laws.  This Warrant shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 of the Purchase Agreement.

(i)            Accredited Investor Status.  In no event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in whole or in part unless the Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.

3.            Shares Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.

(a)            Shares Fully Paid.  The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through the Issuer.  The Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issuance upon exercise of this Warrant a number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares equal to at least one hundred percent (100%) of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations on exercise.

(b)            Reservation.  If any Ordinary Shares required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any Governmental Authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified.  If the Issuer shall list any Ordinary Shares on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list thereon, and maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all Warrant Shares from time to time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant Shares has been registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act then in effect), and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued Warrant Shares which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any Ordinary Shares shall be so listed.  The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Issuer.

(c)            Covenants.  The Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending the Articles of Association or the Memorandum of Association of the Issuer, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such
 
 
 
-5-

 
terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically provided herein) or impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of the Ordinary Shares to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision of the Articles of Association or Memorandum of Association of the Issuer in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants, (iii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Ordinary Shares, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

(d)            Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants.  Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same number of Ordinary Shares.

(e)            Payment of Taxes.  The Issuer will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates representing Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder in respect to which such shares are issued.

4.            Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise.  The Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 5.

(a)            Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.  In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following (each, a "Triggering Event"): (a) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Shares of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Shares, then, and as a condition to each such Triggering Event, proper and adequate provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to
 
 
-6-

 
 
receive at the Warrant Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto (including the right of a shareholder to elect the type of consideration it will receive upon a Triggering Event), subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 4.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Triggering Event that is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (3) a Triggering Event involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Issuer or any successor entity shall pay at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with or within 30 days after the consummation of the Triggering Event, an amount of cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg L.P. using (i) a price per share of Common Stock equal to the VWAP of the Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of consummation of the applicable  Triggering Event, (ii) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of the date of consummation of the applicable Triggering Event and (iii) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Triggering Event, but in no event shall such number be greater than 60.
 
        (b)                    Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations.  If at any time the Issuer shall:

(i)              make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Ordinary Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Ordinary Shares,

(ii)            subdivide its outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of Ordinary Shares, or

(iii)            combine its outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of Ordinary Shares,

then (1) the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of Ordinary Shares which a record holder of the same number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.

(c)            Certain Other Distributions.  If at any time the Issuer shall make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Ordinary Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive any divi­dend or other distribution of:
 
 
 
-7-


 
(i)              cash (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Issuer),

(ii)             any evidences of its indebtedness, any class of any shares or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Ordinary Share Equivalents or Ordinary Shares), or

(iii)            any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any class of any shares or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Ordinary Share Equivalents or Ordinary Shares),

then (1) the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Per Share Market Value of the Ordinary Shares at the date of taking such record and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value minus the amount allocable to one Ordinary Share of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer and supported by an opinion from an investment banking firm mutually agreed upon by the Issuer and the Holder) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.  A reclassification of the Ordinary Shares (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into Ordinary Shares and shares of any other class shall be deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Ordinary Shares of such shares of such other class within the meaning of this Section 4(c) and, if the outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of Ordinary Shares as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding Ordinary Shares within the meaning of Section 4(b).

(d)            Subsequent Equity Sales.  If the Issuer or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equiuivalents entitling any Person to acquire Ordinary Shares, at an effective price per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equiuivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive Ordinary Shares at an effective price per share which is less than the Exercise
 
 
-8-

 
 
Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then (a) from the date hereof until the first anniversary of the date hereof, the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price and (b) after the one year anniversary date of the date hereof, the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus the number of Ordinary Shares which the offering price for such Dilutive Issuance would purchase at the then Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance plus the number of Ordinary Shares so issued or issuable in connection with the Dilutive Issuance (provided that if the numerator exceeds the denominator, no adjustment shall occur).  Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents are issued.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 4(d) in respect of an Exempt Issuance (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).  The Issuer shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents subject to this Section 4(d), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”).  For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Issuer provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 4(d), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise.

(e)            Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments under this Section.  The following provisions shall be ap­plicable to the making of adjustments of the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this Section 4:

(i)            Computation of Consideration.  To the extent that any Ordinary Shares or any Ordinary Share Equivalents (or any warrants or other rights therefor) shall be issued for cash consideration, the consideration received by the Issuer therefor shall be the amount of the cash received by the Issuer therefor, or, if such Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents are offered by the Issuer for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price (in any such case subtracting any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without taking into account any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Issuer for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof).  In connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Issuer is the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefore shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as the Board may determine to be attributable to such Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents, as the case may be.  The consideration for any Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to any warrants or
 
 
-9-

 
 
other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such warrants or other rights plus the additional con­sideration payable to the Issuer upon exercise of such warrants or other rights.  The consideration for any Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of any Ordinary Share Equivalents shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing war­rants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Ordinary Share Equivalents, plus the consideration paid or payable to the Issuer in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such Ordinary Share Equivalents, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable to the Issuer upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Ordinary Share Equivalents.  In the event of any consolidation or merger of the Issuer in which the Issuer is not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer for stock or other securities of any corporation, the Issuer shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Ordinary Shares for stock or securities or other property of the other corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other corporation.  In the event any consideration received by the Issuer for any securities consists of property other than cash, the fair market value thereof at the time of issuance or as otherwise applicable shall be as determined in good faith by the Board.  In the event Ordinary Shares are issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Issuer for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section 4(f)(i) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the Board.

(ii)            When Adjustments to Be Made.  The adjustments required by this Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of Ordinary Shares, as provided for in Section 4(b)) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than one percent (1%) of the Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of such adjustment.  Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.

(iii)            Fractional Interests.  In computing ad­justments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Ordinary Shares shall be taken into account to the near­est one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share.

(iv)            When Adjustment Not Required.  If the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Ordinary Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the
 
 
-10-

 
 
taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.

(f)            Form of Warrant after Adjustments.  The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of Securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

5.            Notice of Adjustments.  Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this Section 5, each an "adjustment"), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment.  Any dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to a national or regional accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Holder, provided that the Issuer shall have ten (10) days after receipt of notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select another such firm and the Issuer shall have no such right of objection.  The firm selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty (30) days after submission to it of such dispute.  Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.  The costs and expenses of the initial accounting firm shall be paid equally by the Issuer and the Holder and, in the case of an objection by the Issuer, the costs and expenses of the subsequent accounting firm shall be paid in full by the Issuer.

6.            Fractional Shares.  No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer shall round the number of shares to be issued upon exercise up to the nearest whole number of shares.

7.            Ownership Caps and Certain Exercise Restrictions.  The Issuer shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Issuer (including, without limitation, any other Ordinary Share Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates.  Except as set forth in

the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 7, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Issuer is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.   To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 7 applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Issuer shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.   In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For purposes of this Section 7, in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (x) the Issuer’s most recent annual report, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Issuer or (z) any other notice by the Issuer or the Issuer’s Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Issuer shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Issuer, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was reported.  The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Issuer, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 7, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 7 shall continue to apply.  Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 7 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
