Without the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, the Purchaser shall not use any written materials to offer the Registrable Securities for resale other than the Prospectus, including any “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. The Purchaser covenants that it will not sell any Shares pursuant to said Prospectus during the period commencing at the time when Company gives the Purchaser written notice of the suspension of the use of said Prospectus and ending at the time when the Company gives the Purchaser written notice that the Purchaser may thereafter effect sales pursuant to said Prospectus. “Registrable Securities” means the Shares and any securities issued or issuable upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the foregoing.
5.8 Organization; Validity; Enforcement.

SECTION 7. Registration Rights.
7.1 Registration Procedures and Expenses. Subject to Closing, the Company shall:
(a) within 60 days (the “Filing Deadline”) after Purchaser’s demand to register the Shares (the “Purchaser’s Demand”), prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement (the “Initial Registration Statement”) relating to the resale of all of the Registrable Securities or such maximum portion of the Registrable Securities permitted to be included in the Initial Registration Statement by guidance provided by the Commission (provided that the Company shall use diligent efforts to register up to the maximum possible amount) by the Purchaser from time to time on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or the facilities of any national securities exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are then traded or in privately-negotiated transactions. The Initial Registration Statement shall be on Form F-3 (unless the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form F-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form). Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 7.1, in the event the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, be registered for resale on a single registration statement, the Company agrees (and Purchaser acknowledges) to promptly (i) inform the Purchaser and use its reasonable commercial efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Initial Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”, and with the Initial Registration Statement and the registration statement referred to in clause (c) below, a “Registration Statement”), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, the Purchaser shall have two (2) demand registrations pursuant to this Section 7;
(b) use its reasonable commercial efforts, subject to receipt of necessary information from the Purchaser, to cause the Commission to declare each Registration Statement effective within 150 days after the Purchaser’s Demand (210 days if the Registration Statement is reviewed by the Commission), but in any event not later than 240 days after the Purchaser’s Demand (the “Effective Deadline”);
(c) promptly prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 7.1 and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective until the earliest of (i) two years after the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, (ii) such time as all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, or (iii) such time all of the Registrable Securities become eligible for resale by pursuant to Rule 144 (including for purposes of this Agreement, any successor rule that may be adopted following the date hereof) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect (the “Effectiveness Period”);
(d) furnish to the Purchaser with respect to the Registrable Securities registered under any Registration Statement (and to each underwriter, if any, of such Registrable Securities) such number of copies of prospectuses and such other documents as the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Securities by the Purchaser;
(e) file documents required of the Company for normal “blue sky” clearance in states specified in writing by the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented;
(f) bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraphs (a) through (g) of this Section 7.1 and the registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement, other than fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisers to the Purchaser or underwriting discounts, brokerage fees and commissions incurred by the Purchaser, if any in connection with the offering of the Shares pursuant to any Registration Statement;
(g) file a Form D with respect to the Shares as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to counsel to the Purchaser promptly after filing;
(h) file Form Ds and any other required documents with each applicable state or jurisdiction under applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and regulations and to provide a copy thereof to counsel to the Purchaser promptly after filing;
(i) in order to enable the Purchaser to sell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144 to the Securities Act, for a period of two years from the Closing Date, use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the requirements of Rule 144, including without limitation, use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the requirements of Rule 144(c) with respect to public information about the Company and timely file all reports required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act; and
(j) if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form F-4/S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, deliver to each holder of unregistered Registrable Securities a written notice of such determination and, if within 15 days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 7.1(j) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective registration statement.
The Company understands that the Purchaser disclaims being an underwriter, but the Purchaser being deemed an underwriter shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has hereunder. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 7 with respect to the Registrable Securities of the Purchaser that Purchaser shall complete, execute and furnish to the Company a questionnaire with respect to the Registration Statement in a form reasonably requested by the Company.

7.3 Indemnification. For the purpose of this Section 7.3: (i) the term “Affiliate” shall mean any affiliate of the Purchaser, including a transferee who is an affiliate of the Purchaser, and any person who controls the Purchaser or any affiliate of the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act; and (ii) the term “Registration Statement” shall include any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, free writing prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to, and any document incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1.

b ) The Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, but only if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Purchaser) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 5.7 or 7.2 hereof respecting the sale of the Shares, (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by such Purchaser herein or (iii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Purchaser expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Purchaser’s aggregate liability under this Section 7 shall not exceed the net proceeds to the Purchaser on the sale of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.
с) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7.3 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7.3, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.3 to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party, and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, shall have reasonably concluded, based on an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, that there may be a conflict of interest between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7.3 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to such indemnifying party, representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. In no event shall any indemnifying party be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying party shall have approved in writing the terms of such settlement; provided , that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.3 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7.3 in respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Purchaser from the private placement of the Shares hereunder or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but the relative fault of the Company and the Purchaser in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement and/or the Registration Statement that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the amount paid by such Purchaser to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for the Shares purchased by such Purchaser that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement bears to the difference (the “Difference”) between the amount such Purchaser paid for the Shares that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and the amount received by such Purchaser from such sale. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation and/or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.3, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.3 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this paragraph (d); provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under paragraph (c) for purposes of indemnification. The Company and the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.3 were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchaser were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.3, no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Difference exceeds the amount of any damages that such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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.
7.4 Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The restrictions imposed by Section 5.9 or Section 7.2 upon the transferability of the Registrable Securities shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Shares upon the earlier of (i) the passage of two years from the effective date of the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities and (ii) at such time as an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act. Purchaser shall be entitled to exercise the registration rights provided for in this Section 7 until five (5) years following the Closing.
7.5 Information Available. During the Effectiveness Period, the Company, at the reasonable written request of the Purchaser, shall make available for inspection by the Purchaser and any attorney, accountant or other agent or representative retained by the Purchaser, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, employees and independent accountants to reasonably cooperate with the Purchaser or any such attorney, accountant, agent or representative in connection with the Registration Statement; provided such information is relevant for disclosure in the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities and subject to appropriate confidentiality limitations.
Reserved.
SECTION 8. Broker’s Fee. Each of the parties hereto represents that, on the basis of any actions and agreements by it, there are no brokers or finders entitled to compensation in connection with the sale of the Shares to the Purchaser.
SECTION 9. Independent Nature of Purchaser’s Obligations and Rights. The decision of the Purchaser to convert the Loan Amount into Shares pursuant to the Agreement has been made by the Purchaser independently. The Purchaser acknowledges that no other person has acted as agent for the Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder.
SECTION 10. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be mailed by first-class registered or certified airmail, e-mail, confirmed facsimile or nationally recognized overnight express courier postage prepaid, and shall be deemed given on the earliest of (a) the next Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile with confirmation of receipt at the facsimile number set forth below prior to 5:00 p.m. (Israel time) on a Trading Day (as defined below), (b) two Trading Days after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile with confirmation of receipt at the facsimile number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:00 p.m. (Israel time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing (fifth Trading Day if sent internationally), if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service in the United States, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given, and shall be delivered as addressed as follows:
