8.1.

- 6 -

Act, the Exchange Act, the Israeli Securities Law, the Companies Law, or any other statute (whether U.S. or Israeli) or at common law, insofar as such Claims arise out of, are based upon, or are in connection with (i) any untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus, in each case, as amended or supplemented, under which such securities were sold, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any other violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Israeli Securities Law, the Companies Law or any state or foreign jurisdiction securities laws in connection with each such registration, and shall reimburse each such person entitled to indemnification for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim, as and when such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such person in any such case to the extent that any such claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission made in such registration statement or prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such person and/or any person acting on its behalf specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus and provided further, that this indemnity shall not apply to amounts paid pursuant to any settlement effected without the consent of the party entitled to indemnification hereunder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

8.2.

Each Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law the Company, any underwriter for the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or such underwriter and each of the Company’s or underwriter’s officers, directors, employees, legal counsel and accountants, from and against any and all Claims to which any of them may be subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Israeli Securities Law, the Companies Law, or any other statute (whether U.S. or Israeli) or at common law, insofar as such Claims arise out of, are based upon, or are in connection with (i) any untrue statement made by the Holder of any material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus, in each case, as amended or supplemented, under which such securities were sold, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission made by the Holder to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse the Company or each such person entitled to indemnification for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or such person in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim, as and when such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Holder shall be liable to the Company or any such person in any such case only to the extent that any such claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission made in such registration statement or prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holder and/or any person acting on the Holder’s behalf specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus and provided further, that this indemnity shall not apply to amounts paid pursuant to any settlement effected without the consent of the party entitled

- 7 -

to indemnification hereunder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnification provided by the Holder shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by the Holder from the sale of the securities registered in such registration.

8.3.

Promptly after receipt by any person entitled to indemnification under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, as the case may be, of notice of the commencement of any action, proceeding, or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought as provided above, such party (the “Indemnitee”) shall notify the party from whom indemnification is claimed (the “Indemnitor”). The Indemnitor shall promptly assume the defense of the Indemnitee with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee, and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee will cooperate with the Indemnitor in the defense of any action, proceeding, or investigation for which the Indemnitor assumes the defense, provided, however, that if the defendants in any action include both the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor and there is a conflict of interests which would prevent counsel for the Indemnitor from also representing the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall have the right to select one separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. The Indemnitor shall not be liable for the settlement by the Indemnitee of any action, proceeding, or investigation effected without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement in any action, suit, or proceeding to which the Indemnitee is a party, unless such settlement includes a general release of the Indemnitee with no payment by the Indemnitee of consideration and without an admission of liability.

8.4.

The parties agree to notify promptly each other of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the Company or any of its officers or directors in connection with the sale of any Registrable Securities held by the Holder, or any preliminary prospectus or registration statement relating to any sale of any Registrable Securities, or of any other litigation or proceedings to which this Section 8 is applicable of which they became aware.

8.5.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall prevail.

8.6.

The obligations of the Company and the Holder under this Section 8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Agreement.

8.7.

If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable, or is insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnitee (except as specifically provided therein), then the Indemnitor shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnitee as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the

- 8 -

Indemnitor on the one hand and the Indemnitee on the other from the registration or (b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) above is not permitted by applicable law, or provides a lesser sum to the Indemnitee than the amount hereinafter calculated, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that in no event shall any contribution by the Holder hereunder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received from the Holder. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

9.	Reports Under the Exchange Act

With a view to making available to the Holder the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form F-3, the Company agrees to:

9.1.

9.5.

comply with all other necessary filings and other requirements so as to enable the Holder and any transferee thereof to sell Registrable Securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar rule then in effect).

9.6.

use its best efforts to maintain the listing of its Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (“Nasdaq”), and should its Ordinary Shares be delisted from Nasdaq, to cause the reinstatement of the Ordinary Shares to listing on Nasdaq, including through the pursuit of the formal appeal process established by Nasdaq.

10.

Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by each Holder to a transferee or assignee of such securities, provided: (a) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with

- 9 -

written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; and (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
