CONTRACT CHANGES; FORCE MAJEURE
5.1 GENERAL
Buyer and Seller may at any time agree on a change in the Work or to
the Product Specifications, the Milestone Schedule, the Purchase Price,
the Performance Guarantees or the Warranties with respect to any
Production Line only by a written amendment to this Sale Contract,
executed by each of Buyer and Seller, substantially in the form of
Exhibit D (a "CHANGE ORDER"). Seller shall not undertake a change in
the Work other than pursuant to a Change Order.
5.2 PRODUCT CHANGES
5.2.1 Buyer may at any time change the Product Specifications (a
"BUYER-DIRECTED PRODUCT CHANGE"). Buyer also shall provide
Seller with such additional specifications necessary to design
and engineer the first Semi-Automated Production Line (i) with
respect to the M2A Capsule, as is reasonably requested by
Seller in writing by September 26, 2001 and (ii) with respect
the deliverables described in Section 2.4.1(a), as is
reasonably requested by Seller in writing within fifteen (15)
days of Buyer's delivery of such deliverables, PROVIDED that
such time periods shall be extended day-for-day for any delay
or failure by Buyer to provide such additional specifications
to the extent such failure or delay constitutes Buyer Delay
(any such additional description or specifications, a
"SELLER-REQUESTED PRODUCT CHANGE" and, together with a
Buyer-Directed Product Change, a "PRODUCT CHANGE").
5.2.2 Buyer and Seller shall consult (at no charge to Buyer)
concerning the cost and impact of implementing any such
Product Change promptly following notice from Buyer to Seller
of a Buyer-Directed Product Change or the provision by Buyer
to Seller of a Seller-Requested Product Change. Seller shall
promptly prepare (at no charge to Buyer) a detailed written
estimate relating to the Product Change, including (i) all
relevant drawings and
18
specifications, all in a format and level of detail sufficient
to allow Buyer to compare readily the existing Work and the
Work as it would be affected by such Product Change, (ii) the
cost of such Product Change and the consequent effect thereof
on the Purchase Price for the affected Production Lines,
including a xxxx of materials; (iii) the effect such change
will have on the Milestone Schedule for the affected
Production Lines and (iv) the effect such change will have on
Seller's ability to comply with any of its obligations under
this Sale Contract, including the Performance Guarantees and
Warranties.
5.2.3 Seller agrees that any changes in the Work as a result of a
Product Change shall be performed on the basis of a lump sum
reimbursement in an amount agreed to in advance by Buyer and
Seller, taking into consideration any savings or costs not
incurred by Seller due to such change, in the form of an
adjustment to the Purchase Price for the affected Production
Lines. If the parties reach agreement on the matters listed in
the estimate provided by Seller pursuant to Section 5.2.2,
Buyer shall issue a Change Order that reflects the nature of
their agreement with respect to such matters, including any
change to the Purchase Price and, in the case of a
Buyer-Direct Product Change only, to the Milestone Schedule.
Seller shall be entitled to an adjustment to the Milestone
Schedule in respect of any Seller-Requested Product Change
only to the extent Seller is entitled to a Change Order due to
any Buyer Delay in respect of such Seller-Requested Product
Change pursuant to Section 5.3.
5.2.4 In the event Buyer and Seller do not agree on the terms of a
Change Order for any Product Change within thirty (30) days of
notice from Buyer to Seller of a Buyer-Directed Product Change
or the provision by Buyer to Seller of a Seller-Requested
Product Change, either party may commence proceedings under
Section 11, PROVIDED that, notwithstanding any such
proceedings, Seller shall proceed with the performance of its
obligations under this Sale Contract and the Product
Specifications shall be deemed for all purposes of this Sale
Contract to have been modified by such Product Change.
5.3 CHANGES AT REQUEST OF SELLER.
5.3.1 Seller also shall be entitled to request a Change Order to the
extent that any (i) Change in Law, (ii) event of Force
Majeure, (iii) Buyer Delay or (iv) relocation of Buyer's
Facility outside Israel (it being understood that Seller shall
have the obligation to mitigate the impact of such
circumstances to the extent reasonably possible) has a
material adverse effect on the ability of Seller to comply
with the Milestone Schedule or materially increases the cost
of its performance of the Work.
19
5.3.2 In the event that Seller considers that a Change Order is
warranted, it shall notify Buyer in writing within twenty (20)
days of when the circumstances giving rise to such a claim
could reasonably have been known to Seller. Such notice shall
include Seller's proposal for any adjustment to the Milestone
Schedule or Purchase Price for the affected Production Lines.
Should Seller fail to notify Buyer of the circumstances giving
rise to such a claim within such period, Seller shall be
deemed to have waived its right to a Change Order and Buyer
shall be discharged from all liability in connection with any
such claim. Seller shall keep full records relative to any
such claim and shall keep Buyer informed of outstanding
claims, on a monthly basis.
5.3.3 In the case of any Change in Law or relocation of Buyer's
Facility, the Milestone Schedule or the Purchase Price, or
both, with respect to the affected Purchase Lines shall be
adjusted equitably to take account of the additional,
justified direct costs and delays caused by such Change in Law
or relocation of Buyer's Facility. In the case of any event of
Force Majeure or Buyer Delay, the Milestone Schedule with
respect to the affected Purchase Lines shall be adjusted
day-for-day for the delay caused by such event of Force
Majeure or Buyer Delay but the Purchase Price shall not be
adjusted.
5.3.4 In the event Buyer and Seller do not agree on the terms of a
Change Order requested by Seller under this Section 5.3,
either party may immediately commence proceedings under
Section 11, PROVIDED that Seller shall proceed with the
performance of this Sale Contract notwithstanding any such
dispute.
5.4 FORCE MAJEURE
Neither Seller nor Buyer will be responsible for the total or partial
non-fulfillment of its obligations under this Sale Contract where such
non-fulfillment is caused by the occurrence of Force Majeure. Any party
affected by a Force Majeure shall:
(a) notify, without delay and as soon as physically possible, the
other party of the occurrence and, subsequently, the
termination of the circumstance and, if necessary, invite it
to negotiate the settlement of the consequences of the Force
Majeure in accordance with the provisions of this Sale
Contract, indicating in such notice, insofar as possible, the
probable duration and consequences of the circumstance; and
(b) use its best efforts to reduce and overcome within a
reasonable time, the effects of the event of Force Majeure
which affect the performance of its obligations.

ARTICLE 6.
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
6.1 DELAY IN ACHIEVEMENT OF FINAL ACCEPTANCE
6.1.1 If any Production Line does not achieve Final Acceptance by
the Guaranteed Final Acceptance Date other than as a result of
a default by Buyer hereunder, the parties agree that the Buyer
will suffer loss and damage. Since the actual damages that
would be suffered would be impossible to ascertain precisely,
the parties agree that Seller shall pay Buyer liquidated
damages, not as a penalty, in an amount of Two Thousand Five
Hundred Dollars ($2,500) for each day from the Guaranteed
Final Acceptance Date to the date of Final Acceptance in the
case of the first Semi-Automated Production Line and One
Thousand Dollars ($1,000) in the case of each other Production
Line, PROVIDED that the maximum aggregate liability of Seller
for liquidated damages under this Section 6.1 shall in no
event exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) in
the case of the first Semi-Automated Production Line and One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the case of each other
Production Line.
6.1.2 Payment of liquidated damages under this Section 6.1 shall be
the sole and exclusive liability of Seller and the sole and
exclusive remedy of Buyer for the failure of any Production
Line to achieve Final Acceptance by the Guaranteed Completion
Date, subject to Buyer's right to exercise its remedies under
Section 6.2 and to terminate this Sale Contract in accordance
with Article 9.
6.2 FAILURE TO ACHIEVE PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES
6.2.1 If any Production Line does not achieve the Performance
Guarantees by the Guaranteed Final Acceptance Date other than
as a result of a default by Buyer hereunder, the parties agree
that the Buyer will suffer loss and damage. Since the actual
damages that would be suffered would be impossible to
ascertain precisely, the parties agree that Seller shall pay
Buyer, at Buyer's option, exercised in its sole discretion,
liquidated damages, not as a penalty, in an amount determined
by multiplying (i) the percentage by which the actual capacity
of such Production Line is less than the Performance Guarantee
with respect thereto set forth in Section 1(a) of Schedule 1
in the case of each Semi-Automated Production Line and Section
2(a) of Schedule 1 in the case of each Fully-Automated
Production Line by (ii) the Purchase Price for such Production
Line.
6.2.2 If Final Acceptance has been achieved for any Production Line
except for the failure of such Production Line to meet the
Performance Guarantees by the Guaranteed Final Acceptance
Date, then upon payment of all
21
liquidated damages due under Section 6.2.1, the Performance
Guarantees shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the
actual levels of performance of such Production Line
demonstrated by the Performance Tests and Seller shall have no
further liability with respect to such Production Line.
ARTICLE 7.

7.2.2 If Seller or Buyer shall discover any Defect in the Work
during the Warranty Period, then Seller, after discovery by
it, or upon written notice from Buyer, shall promptly commence
to correct, and diligently prosecute to completion the
correction of, such Defect, at the cost and expense of Seller
and to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer by, at Seller's
option, redesigning, repairing and/or replacing the defective
Work. Seller shall use its best efforts to cause the
correction of any such defect to be accomplished within sixty
(60) days with minimal interference with the operation or

commence correction promptly or fail to prosecute diligently
to completion the necessary redesign, repair, replacement and
tests, Buyer may perform or cause to be performed the same at
Seller's expense.

misappropriate or misuse any patent, trade secret, trademark, copyright
or other proprietary rights, Seller shall defend such claim and shall
indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from any final award or judgement in
respect of such claim and shall, if required, procure the necessary
licenses to use the infringing Work Product or Licensed Product, or,
with Buyer's prior written approval, replace the same with
substantially equal but non-infringing Work Product or Licensed Product
or modify the same to be non-infringing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any
such substituted or modified Work Product or Licensed Product shall
meet all the requirements and be subject to all the provisions of this
Sale Contract, and that such replacements or modifications shall not
modify or relieve Seller of any of its obligations under this Sale
Contract. Buyer shall give Seller prompt written notice of any suit and
shall provide such information and assistance reasonably necessary for
the defense thereof. The indemnity set forth in this Section 7.3 shall
survive the delivery and Final Acceptance of any Production Line and
the expiration of any Warranty Period hereunder.
7.4 SUPPLIER WARRANTIES
In each case where Seller obtains warranties from its Suppliers that
are more favorable than the Warranties contained in this Sale Contract,
Seller shall assist Buyer, if necessary, in enforcing any such
warranties for the benefit of Buyer.
7.5 EXPRESS WARRANTIES
THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 7 ARE EXCLUSIVE AND NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER STATUTORY, ORAL, WRITTEN, EXPRESS

9.1 TERM.
This Sale Contract shall become effective as of the date hereof upon
its execution and delivery by the parties hereto and, unless terminated
earlier in accordance with this Article 9, shall remain in effect until
December 31, 2004 or, if a Purchase Order for the first Fully-Automated
Production Line is issued prior to December 31, 2004, three (3) years
from the date of the Purchase Order, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if a
Purchase Order for any Production Line is outstanding at the time the
term of this Sale Contract would otherwise expire in accordance with
this Section 9.1, the term of this sale Contract shall be automatically
extended until such Production Line achieves Final Completion or this
Sale Contract is terminated in accordance with this Article 9.
9.2 TERMINATION BY BUYER

default of Buyer:
(a) Seller fails to commence the Work for any Production Line
within fifteen (15) days on receipt of a Purchase Order for
such Production Line;
(b) Seller (i) fails to show reasonable progress toward
achievement of Provisional Acceptance of any Production Line
and thereafter fails to remedy such failure within ten (10)
days written notice thereof by Buyer or (ii) abandons the Work
for twenty (20) consecutive days (by "abandon" the parties
mean the complete cessation of the Work, without justification
or, if justification exists, then without giving notice to
Buyer within five (5) days of such cessation);
(c) Seller fails to achieve Final Acceptance of any Production

of any such cancellation or termination, Buyer shall have the right to
finish the Work with respect to any outstanding Purchase Order, itself
or with the assistance of third parties. No amount shall be payable by
or to Seller in connection with any such termination. In the event
Seller disputes the basis for Buyer's cancellation of any Purchase
Order or termination of this Contract under this Section 9.2, Seller
shall cease to perform the Work under this Sale Contract, and Seller's
sole remedy shall be to refer the dispute for resolution in accordance
with Article 11. In the event that Seller prevails in any such dispute,

If, for any reason other than the occurrence of Force Majeure (in the
case of clause (a) only) or the default of Seller:
(a) Buyer commits a material breach or default of its obligations
hereunder (other than its payment obligations) and thereafter
(i) fails to remedy such breach or default within thirty (30)
days after written demand by Seller precisely identifying the
breach or default or (ii) if (A) Buyer begins to pursue a
remedy within such thirty (30) day period or (B) such breach

(b) Buyer fails to make any payment when due to Seller pursuant to
this Sale Contract (other than a disputed payment) and Buyer
does not make such payment within thirty (30) days after
notice by Seller precisely identifying the outstanding
payment;
then, upon the occurrence of any such event, Seller may terminate this
Sale Contract. Should Seller so terminate this Sale Contract, it shall
be compensated for the Work performed on the basis of the percentage of
the Purchase Price for any Production Line equal to the percentage of
the Work with respect thereto which has been appropriately completed in
accordance with this Sale Contract at the time of termination, plus the
reasonable cost of (i) Equipment which has been procured and cannot,
using commercially reasonable efforts, be returned to the
26
Supplier thereof, PROVIDED that all right, title and interest in any
such Equipment shall be transferred to Buyer, free and clear of all
Liens, (ii) demobilization of staff employed by Seller in connection
with this Sale Contract and (iii) the reasonable cancellation costs of
Suppliers.

Either party may terminate this Sale Contract immediately upon written
notice to the other party if, as the result of the occurrence of an
event of Force Majeure, the performance by either party of its
obligations under this Sale Contract is delayed so that the Guaranteed

three (3) months.
In the event either party so elects to terminate this Contract for
Force Majeure, Seller shall be compensated as provided in Section 9.3,
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, Buyer shall have the right to adjust (i) the
Purchase Price or (ii) the Guaranteed Final Acceptance Date for any
Production Line, pursuant to a Change Order within thirty (30) days of
receipt of Seller's notice to terminate. If a Change Order is executed
by each of the parties during such thirty (30) day notice period, this
Sale Contract shall continue in full force and effect.
9.5 RIGHT TO TERMINATE FOR DELAY IN NOTICE TO PROCEED
In the event that Buyer has not issued the Notice to Proceed for the
first Semi-Automated Production Line on or before January 1, 2002, then
either party may terminate this Sale Contract by written notice to the
other party and Seller shall not be entitled to any compensation
hereunder.
9.6 MEASURES TO BE TAKEN BY SELLER ON TERMINATION
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sale Contract to the
contrary, in the event Buyer provides written notice to Seller that it
is suspending the Work (or any portion thereof) or terminating this
Sale Contract for any reason, Seller shall (i) immediately suspend
performance of the Work on the date and to the extent specified in the
written notice, (ii) place no further orders or subcontracts except as
may be necessary for performance of that portion of the Work that has
not been so suspended or terminated, (iii) to the extent reasonably

and in which Buyer has or may acquire an interest under this Sale
Contract. After receiving the foregoing notice of suspension or
termination, as the case may be, Seller shall submit to Buyer, within
