Exhibit 4.4
This Warrant Agent Agreement (the “Warrant Agent Agreement”) made as of [____], 2020, is between Therapix Biosciences Ltd., an Israeli company (the “Company”), and Computershare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Computershare”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company, (collectively, with Computershare, the “Warrant Agent”).
WHEREAS, the Company has determined to issue and deliver to investors, among other securities, warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of [____] American Depositary Shares, of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”), pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement entered into between the Company and Aegis Capital Corp., dated [____], 2020 (the “Underwriting Agreement”). Pursuant to an option under the Underwriting Agreement, the Company may also issue and deliver to investors warrants to purchase up to [____] American Depositary Shares of the Company. Each Warrant evidences the right of the holder thereof to purchase, for an exercise price of $[____], one Warrant Share, as subject to adjustment as described in the Warrant Certificate (the “Warrant Price”);
WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer, exchange, redemption and exercise of the Warrants;
WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Warrants, the terms upon which they shall be issued and exercised, and the respective rights, limitation of rights and immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the holders of the Warrants; and
WHEREAS, all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the Warrants, when executed on behalf of the Company and countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent, as provided herein, the legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Warrant Agent Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company for the Warrants, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the express terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant Agent Agreement (and no implied terms or conditions).
2. Warrants.
2.1 Form of Warrant. Each Warrant shall be (a) issued in book-entry form or (b) in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, the provisions of which are incorporated herein, and signed by, or bear the facsimile or .pdf signature of, the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer of the Company and such other officers of the Company as the Company may designate with written notice to the Warrant Agent (each and “Authorized Signatory” and, collectively, the “Authorized Signatory”), and countersigned by, or bear the facsimile or .pdf signature of, the Warrant Agent. In the event the person whose facsimile or ..pdf signature has been placed upon any Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance. All of the Warrants shall initially be represented by one or more book-entry positions (the “Book-Entry Warrant”).
1
2.2 Registration.
2.2.1 Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (“Warrant Register”) for the registration of the original issuance and registration of transfers of the Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrants, at the Company’s written request, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the Warrants in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with the instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company. To the extent the Warrants are DTC eligible as of the date of issuance (the “Issuance Date”), all of the Warrants shall be represented by one or more Book-Entry Warrants deposited with the Depository Trust Company (the “Depository”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of the Depository. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Warrants shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained (i) by the Depository or its nominee for each Book-Entry Warrant; (ii) by institutions that have accounts with the Depository (such institution, with respect to a Warrant in its account, a “Participant”); or (iii) directly on the book-entry records of the Warrant Agent with respect only to owners of beneficial interests that represent such direct registration. If the Warrants are not DTC Eligible as of the Issuance Date or the Depository subsequently ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for the Warrants, the Company may instruct the Warrant Agent regarding making other arrangements for book-entry settlement within ten (10) days after the Depository ceases to make its book-entry settlement available. In the event that the Company does not make alternative arrangements for book-entry settlement within ten (10) days or the Warrants are not eligible for, or it is no longer necessary to have the Warrants available in, book-entry form, the Warrant Agent shall provide written instructions to the Depository to deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation each Book-Entry Warrant, and the Company shall instruct the Warrant Agent to deliver to the Depository, at the expense of the Company, definitive certificates in physical form evidencing such Warrants in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A.
2.2.2 Registered Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name such Warrant shall be registered in the Warrant Register (“Registered Holder”), as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the Warrant Certificate (as defined below) made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Any person in whose name ownership of a beneficial interest in the Warrants evidenced by a Book-Entry Warrant is recorded in the records maintained by the Depository or its nominee shall be deemed the “beneficial owner” thereof.
2.2.3 Notwithstanding anything contained herein, a Registered Holder or if the Book Entry Warrants are deposited with the Depositary, the beneficial owner, has the right, upon written notice to the Warrant Agent (in form and substance acceptable to the Warrant Agent), to request a physical warrant certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit A, attached hereto, for the same number of Warrants as are registered in the name of such Registered Holder or beneficial owner, as applicable, in the records maintained by the Warrant Agent (a “Warrant Certificate”). Such Warrant Certificate shall be dated the original issue date of the Warrants and shall be executed by an Authorized Signatory and countersigned by the Warrant Agent in accordance with Section 2.1. The Warrant Agent shall deliver the Warrant Certificate to the Registered Holder as promptly as practicable. To the extent that the Company requests that the Warrant Agent delivers a Warrant Certificate to a Registered Holder or beneficial owner, as applicable, prior to the closing date of the transactions under the Underwriting Agreement or the closing date of the option granted by the Company under the Underwriting Agreement, then the Warrant Agent shall deliver such Warrant Certificate as promptly as practicable following the receipt of such request.
3. Exercise of Warrants. Subject to the provisions of the Warrants and this Warrant Agent Agreement, a Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof by delivering to the office of the Warrant Agent, or at the office of its successor as Warrant Agent, the Warrant, the notice of exercise, as set forth in the Warrant, duly executed and properly completed, accompanied such other documentation as the Warrant Agent may reasonably request, and by paying in full, in lawful money of the United States by wire transfer to the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Price for each full Warrant Share as to which the Warrant is exercised and the issuance of the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Agent as set forth in the applicable Warrant. In no event shall the Registered Holder of any Warrant be entitled to “net cash settle” the Warrant. The Warrant Agent will transmit to the Company the funds received from the Registered Holders for the exercise of the Warrants by the 5th business day of the month following the acceptance of such funds. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required; provided, however, that in the case of Notice of Exercise that involves transfer of ownership, (for purposes of clarity, transfer of ownership shall not include issuance of Warrant Shares to the Registered Holder of the Warrants), or change in the name of the registered holder, the Warrant Agent may reasonably request such other documentations to accompany the Notice of Exercise, including a signature guarantee from an eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association. In the event of a cash exercise of the Warrants, the Company hereby instructs the Warrant Agent to record cost basis for newly issued Warrant Shares to be equal to the exercise price thereof.

4. Concerning the Warrant Agent and Other Matters.
4.1 Payment of Taxes. The Company will, from time to time, promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Warrants or such shares. The Warrant Agent shall not have any duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Warrant Agent Agreement or any Warrant Certificate that requires the payment of taxes and/or charges unless and until it is satisfied that all such payments have been made.
4.2 Resignation, Consolidation, or Merger of Warrant Agent.
4.2.1 Appointment of Successor Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving thirty (30) days’ notice in writing to the Company. In the event any transfer agency relationship in effect between the Company and the Warrant Agent terminates, the Warrant Agent will be deemed to have resigned automatically and be discharged from its duties under this Warrant Agent Agreement as of the effective date of such termination. If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint, in writing, a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the holder of the Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit his, her or its Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the holder of any Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, or any state thereunder, in good standing. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but, if for any reason it becomes· necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company and without assumption of any additional liability in connection therewith, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and, upon request of any successor Warrant Agent, the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations.
4.2.2 Notice of Successor Warrant Agent. In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof to the predecessor Warrant Agent and the transfer agent for the Warrant Shares not later than the effective date of any such appointment.

Any corporation or other entity into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or the purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of the Warrant Agent, shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Warrant Agent Agreement without any further act on the part of the Company or the Warrant Agent.
4.3 Fees and Expenses of Warrant Agent.

4.3.3 Fractional Shares. The Warrant Agent shall not be requires to make any payments of cash in lieu of fractional Warrant Shares (“Fractional Payments”) unless the Company provides an initial funding of one thousand dollars ($1,000) for the purpose of issuing Fractional Payments. From time to time thereafter, Computershare may request additional funding to cover Fractional Payments. Computershare shall have no obligation to make Fractional Payments unless the Company shall have provided the necessary funds to pay in full all amounts due and payable with respect thereto.
4.4 Liability of Warrant Agent.
4.4.1 Reliance on Company Statement. Whenever, in the performance of its duties under this Warrant Agent Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by an Authorized Signatory, and delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered by it pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant Agent Agreement. From time to time, Company may provide Warrant Agent with instructions concerning the services performed by the Warrant Agent hereunder.

Warrant Agent and its agents and subcontractors shall not be liable and shall be indemnified by Company for any action taken or omitted by Warrant Agent in reliance upon any Company instructions or upon the advice or opinion of such counsel.
