• JSC Meetings The JSC will meet at least [**], or more or less frequently as mutually agreed by the Parties, at such times as may be agreed to by the Parties. The JSC will determine its meeting locations, and whether to conduct a meeting in-person, by teleconference, or videoconference. Each Party is responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with its participation in the meetings of the JSC. Each Party shall have the right to call a special meeting of the JSC at any time as necessary or desirable to address disputes or other matters within the scope of the JSC’s responsibilities by providing the other Parties with written notice to that effect. The JSC Chairs shall schedule and convene such special JSC meeting as soon as practicable following such notice. Each Party may, from time-to-time and with prior written notice to the JSC members of the other Parties, invite Project Team members and/or others of its employees, consultants or agents to attend relevant portions of a JSC meeting as necessary. The Sponsoring Party shall notify the other Parties in writing in the event that it wishes to invite a Third Party to attend a JSC meeting. Any such notice shall be provided at least [**] business days prior to the relevant JSC meeting and shall identify the relevant Third Party and briefly describe the reasons that the Sponsoring Party wishes to include the Third Party in the meeting. The attendance and participation of such Third Party shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Parties receiving such notice (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Any such consent granted by a Party shall be conditioned upon the consultant or contractor being bound by a written confidentiality and non-use agreement that is reasonably acceptable to the consenting Party. In the event the Sponsoring Party requires the attendance of such Third Party at subsequent JSC meetings, approval shall not be required for any Third Party who was previously approved by the other Parties and remains bound by an appropriate written confidentiality and non-use agreement at the time of the Project Team meeting, provided that the Sponsoring Party gives the other Parties prior notice of such attendance and the other Parties do not revoke their consent. The Parties’ respective JSC Chairs (as defined below) shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with the foregoing.

• Regulatory Meetings The Regulatory Lead Party shall provide the other Party with notice of all meetings, conferences, and discussions (including FDA advisory committee meetings and any other meeting of experts convened by the FDA concerning any topic relevant to a Product, as well as Product labeling and post-Regulatory Approval Product labeling discussions with the FDA) scheduled with the FDA concerning any pending Drug Approval Application or any material regulatory matters relating to a Product within [****]* after the Regulatory Lead Party receives notice of the scheduling of such meeting, conference, or discussion (or within such shorter period as may be necessary in order to give the other Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in such meetings, conferences and discussions). The other Party shall be entitled to be present at, and to participate in, all such meetings, conferences or discussions. PDL’s and BMS’ respective members of the JDC shall use reasonable efforts to agree in advance on the scheduling of such meetings and on the objectives to be accomplished at such meetings, conferences, and discussions and the agenda for the meetings, conferences, and discussions with the FDA. The Regulatory Lead Party shall also include the other Party in any unscheduled, ad-hoc meetings, conferences and discussions with the FDA concerning any pending IND, Drug Approval Application or any material regulatory matters relating to a Product. * Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the SEC.

• NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS 20.1 At least five clear days’ notice shall be given of any general meeting. Every notice shall specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be conducted at the general meeting and shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned or in such other manner if any as may be prescribed by the Company, provided that a general meeting of the Company shall, whether or not the notice specified in this Article has been given and whether or not the provisions of the Articles regarding general meetings have been complied with, be deemed to have been duly convened if it is so agreed:

• Joint Development Committee The Parties shall form a joint development committee (the “Joint Development Committee” or “JDC”), made up of an equal number of representatives of Merck and BioLineRx, which shall have responsibility of coordinating all regulatory and other activities under, and pursuant to, this Agreement. Each Party shall designate a project manager (the “Project Manager”) who shall be responsible for implementing and coordinating activities, and facilitating the exchange of information between the Parties, with respect to the Study. Other JDC members will be agreed by both Parties. The JDC shall meet as soon as practicable after the Effective Date and then no less than twice yearly, and more often as reasonably considered necessary at the request of either Party, to provide an update on the progress of the Study. The JDC may meet in person or by means of teleconference, Internet conference, videoconference or other similar communications equipment. Prior to any such meeting, the BioLineRx Project Manager shall provide an update in writing to the Merck Project Manager, which update shall contain information about the overall progress of the Study, recruitment status, interim analysis (if results available), final analysis and other information relevant to the conduct of the Study. In addition to a Project Manager, each Party shall designate an alliance manager (the “Alliance Manager”), who shall endeavor to ensure clear and responsive communication between the Parties and the effective exchange of information, and shall serve as the primary point of contact for any issues arising under this Agreement. The Alliance Managers shall have the right to attend all JDC meetings and may bring to the attention of the JDC any matters or issues either of them reasonably believes should be discussed, and shall have such other responsibilities as the Parties may mutually agree in writing. In the event that an issue arises and the Alliance Managers cannot or do not, after good faith efforts, reach agreement on such issue, the issue shall be elevated to the Head of Clinical Oncology for Merck and the Vice President of Medical Affairs or Business Development for BioLineRx.

• GENERAL MEETINGS 20.1 All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

• Meetings Meetings of the Trustees shall be held from time to time upon the call of the Chairman, if any, or the President or any two Trustees. Regular meetings of the Trustees may be held without call or notice at a time and place fixed by the By-Laws or by resolution of the Trustees. Notice of any other meeting shall be given by the Secretary and shall be delivered to the Trustees orally not less than 24 hours, or in writing not less than 72 hours, before the meeting, but may be waived in writing by any Trustee either before or after such meeting. The attendance of a Trustee at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except where a Trustee attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting has not been properly called or convened. Any time there is more than one Trustee, a quorum for all meetings of the Trustees shall be one-third, but not less than two, of the Trustees. Unless provided otherwise in this Declaration and except as required under the 1940 Act, any action of the Trustees may be taken at a meeting by vote of a majority of the Trustees present (a quorum being present) or without a meeting by written consent of a majority of the Trustees. Any committee of the Trustees, including an executive committee, if any, may act with or without a meeting. A quorum for all meetings of any such committee shall be one-third, but not less than two, of the members thereof. Unless provided otherwise in this Declaration, any action of any such committee may be taken at a meeting by vote of a majority of the members present (a quorum being present) or without a meeting by written consent of all of the members. With respect to actions of the Trustees and any committee of the Trustees, Trustees who are Interested Persons in any action to be taken may be counted for quorum purposes under this Section and shall be entitled to vote to the extent not prohibited by the 1940 Act. All or any one or more Trustees may participate in a meeting of the Trustees or any committee thereof by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other; participation in a meeting pursuant to any such communications system shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

• Member Meetings (a) There shall be no meetings of the Members unless called by the Board or as otherwise specifically required by the Delaware Act. No Members or group of Members, acting in its or their capacity as Members, shall have the right to call a meeting of the Members.

• Board Meetings Unless otherwise restricted by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board or any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or any committee thereof by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

• Development Committee As soon as practicable, the Parties will establish a joint development committee, comprised of at least one (1) and up to two (2) representatives of Omega and at least one (1) and up to two (2) representatives of Acuitas (the “JDC”). One such representative from each Party will be such Party’s Workplan Leader. Each Party may replace its Workplan Leader and other JDC representatives at any time upon written notice to the other Party, provided, however, that each Party shall use reasonable efforts to ensure continuity on the JDC. With the consent of the other Party (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), each Party may invite non-voting employees and consultants to attend JDC meetings as necessary, subject to consultant’s agreement to be bound to the same extent as a permitted subcontractor under Section 3.1(i).
