7.2.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event a Licensed Product is sold by BioLine or an Affiliate of BioLine in the form of a Combination Product, Net Sales from such Combination Product, for purposes of determining royalty payments, shall be determined by multiplying the actual Net Sales of such Combination Product during the applicable royalty reporting period, by the fraction A/(A+B) where: A is the average sale price of the Licensed Product contained in the Combination Product when sold separately by BioLine or its Affiliate; and B is the average price of the other Additional Ingredients included in the Combination Product when sold separately by its supplier, in each case during the applicable royalty reporting period or if sales of both the Licensed Product and/or other Additional Ingredients did not occur in such period, then in the most recent royalty reporting period in which sales of both occurred. In the event that such average sale price cannot be determined for both the Licensed Product and all other Additional Ingredients included in the Combination Product, Net Sales for the purpose of determining royalty payments shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Products by the fraction of C/C+D where C is the fair market value of the Licensed Product and D is the fair market value of all other Additional Ingredients included in the Combination Product. In such event, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to arrive at a determination of the respective fair market values of the Licensed Product and all other Additional Ingredients included in the Combination Product.

7.2.2. Third-Party Royalties.

7.2.2.1. In the event that BioLine or an Affiliate of BioLine is legally required to make royalty payments, at fair market terms after arms’ length negotiations, to one or more third parties to obtain a Third Party License from such third party(ies) in order to practice the Licensor Technology in a particular country, BioLine may offset such third-party payments against the royalty payments that are due to Licensors pursuant to Section 7.1 with respect to sales in such country; provided that royalty payments under Section 7.1 to Licensors may not be reduced by a greater percentage than the percent reduction for any third party; and provided further, that in no event, shall the royalty payments to Licensors under Section 7.1 with respect to such Licensed Product be reduced to less than an amount equal to [***] of all Net Sales with respect to such Licensed Product in such country.

7.2.2.2. Notwithstanding Section 7.2.2.1, in the event the royalties BioLine or its Affiliate are legally required to pay for a Third Party License as described in Section 7.2.2.1 relate to an Additional Ingredient included in a Combination Product, BioLine shall not be entitled to reduce the royalty payments under Section 7.2.2.1.

7.3. Sublicense Receipts. BioLine shall pay Licensors an amount equal to [***] of all Sublicense Receipts.

(a) the number of units of Licensed Products sold by BioLine and its Affiliates in each country for the applicable Calendar Quarter;

(b) the gross amount billed for the Licensed Product sold by BioLine and its Affiliates in each country during the applicable Calendar Quarter;

(c) a calculation of Net Sales for the applicable Calendar Quarter in each country, including a listing of applicable deductions;

(d) the total amount payable to Licensors in U.S. dollars on Net Sales for the applicable Calendar Quarter, together with the exchange rates used for conversion; and

8.4. Payments in Other Currencies. If by law, regulation, or fiscal policy of a particular country, conversion into United States dollars or transfer of funds of a convertible currency to the United States is restricted or forbidden, BioLine shall give Licensors prompt written notice of such restriction, which notice shall satisfy the thirty-day payment deadlines described in Sections 8.1 and 8.2. In such case, BioLine shall pay any amounts due Licensors through whatever lawful methods Licensors reasonably designate.

8.5. Records. Licensee shall maintain, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to maintain, complete and accurate records of Licensed Products that are made, used, marketed or sold under this Agreement, any amounts payable to Licensors in relation to such Licensed Products and all Sublicense Receipts received by BioLine and its Affiliates, which records shall contain sufficient information to permit Ramot to confirm the accuracy of any reports or notifications delivered to Licensors under Sections 8.1 and 8.2. The relevant party shall retain such records relating to a given Calendar Quarter for at least three (3) years after the conclusion of that Calendar Quarter. During such three (3) year period, Ramot shall have the right, at Licensors’ expense, to cause an independent, certified public accountant, who is bound by a suitable confidentiality arrangement with BioLine, to inspect BioLine’s and the relevant Affiliates' records during normal business hours for the sole purpose of verifying any reports and payments delivered under this Agreement. Such accountant shall not disclose to Licensors or any third party any information gained during the course of such inspection, except that such accountant may disclose to Licensors and BioLine information gained during the course of such inspection relating to the accuracy of reports and payments delivered under this Agreement. The parties shall reconcile any underpayment or overpayment within thirty (30) days after the accountant delivers the results of the audit. In the event that any audit performed under this Section 8.5 reveals an underpayment in excess of five percent (5%) in any calendar year, the audited party shall bear the full cost of such audit.

8.7. Late Payments. Any payments to be paid under this Agreement that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under this Agreement shall bear interest at an annual interest, compounded monthly, equal to three percent (3%) above the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) as determined for each month on the last business day of that month, assessed from the day payment was initially due until the date of payment.

8.8. Payment Method. Each payment due to Licensors under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer of funds to Licensors’ accounts in accordance with written instructions provided by Licensors.

8.9. Withholding and Similar Taxes. If applicable laws require that taxes be withheld from any amounts due to Licensors under this Agreement, BioLine shall (a) deduct these taxes from the remittable amount, (b) pay the taxes to the proper taxing authority, and (c) promptly deliver to Licensors a statement including the amount of tax withheld and justification therefor, and such other information as may be necessary for tax credit purposes.

10.1 Enforcement of Patent Rights.

10.1.1. Notice. In the event any party becomes aware of any possible or actual infringement or unauthorized possession, knowledge or use of any Licensed Patent Rights (collectively, an “Infringement”), that party shall promptly notify the other parties and provide them with details regarding such Infringement.

10.1.2. Suit by BioLine. BioLine shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take action in the prosecution, prevention, or termination of any Infringement of Licensed Patent Rights. Should BioLine elect to bring suit against an infringer and either Licensor is joined as party plaintiff in any such suit, such Licensor shall have the right to approve the counsel selected by BioLine to represent BioLine and such Licensor(s), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The expenses of such suit or suits that BioLine elects to bring, including any expenses of Licensors incurred in conjunction with the prosecution of such suits or the settlement thereof, shall be paid for entirely by BioLine and BioLine shall hold Licensors free, clear and harmless from and against any and all costs of such litigation, including attorney’s fees. BioLine shall not compromise or settle such litigation without the prior written consent of Licensors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event BioLine exercises its right to xxx pursuant to this Section 10.1.2, it shall first reimburse itself out of any sums recovered in such suit or in settlement thereof for all costs and expenses of every kind and character, including reasonable attorney’s fees, necessarily involved in the prosecution of any such suit. If, after such reimbursement, any funds shall remain from said recovery, then Licensors shall receive an amount equal to [***] of such funds (75% of which shall be paid to Ramot and 25% of which shall be paid to BIRAD) and the remaining [***] of such funds shall be retained by BioLine.

10.1.3. Suit by Ramot. If BioLine does not take action in the prosecution, prevention, or termination of any Infringement pursuant to Section 10.1.2 above, and has not commenced negotiations with the infringer for the discontinuance of said Infringement, within ninety (90) days after receipt of notice to BioLine by Ramot of the existence of an Infringement, Licensors may elect to do so. Should Licensors elect to bring suit against an infringer and BioLine is joined as party plaintiff in any such suit, BioLine shall have the right to approve the counsel selected by Licensors to represent Licensors and BioLine, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The expenses of such suit or suits that Licensors elect to bring, including any expenses of BioLine incurred in conjunction with the prosecution of such suits or the settlement thereof, shall be paid for entirely by Licensors and Licensors shall hold BioLine free, clear and harmless from and against any and all costs of such litigation, including attorney’s fees. Licensors shall not compromise or settle such litigation without the prior written consent of BioLine, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

If a party lacks standing and another party has standing to bring any such suit, action or proceeding, then such other party shall do so at the request of and at the expense of the requesting party. If a party determines that it is necessary or desirable for another party to join any such suit, action or proceeding, the other party shall execute all papers and perform such other acts as may be reasonably required in the circumstances.

10.2 Legal Action Against a Party. Each Party will provide the others with prompt notice of any action, suit or proceeding brought against it, alleging the infringement of the intellectual property rights of a third party by reason of the discovery, development, manufacture, use, sale, importation, or offer for sale of a Licensed Product or otherwise due to the use or practice of the Licensed Technology.

11.	Warranties; Limitation of Liability.

Representations and Warranties. Licensors hereby represents and warrant that (i) that they are the owners of the Licensor Patent Rights set forth in Exhibit 1.20; (ii) they have not granted any rights in or to Licensed Technology which are inconsistent with the rights granted to BioLine under this Agreement; (iii) they have the right to grant the license granted under this Agreement; (iv) they will not transfer, assign, encumber, grant, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Licensor Technology or their interest in the Joint Technology other than as may be expressly permitted herein; and (v) they have no actual knowledge as of the date hereof of any legal suit or proceeding by a third party against Ramot, BIRAD, TAU or BIU contesting the ownership or validity of the Licensor Patent Rights, or claiming that the practice of the Licensor Patent Rights in the manner contemplated by this Agreement would infringe the rights of such third party.

11.1. Compliance with Law. BioLine warrants that it will comply with, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees comply with, all local, state, federal, and international laws and regulations relating to the development, manufacture, use, and sale of Licensed Products.

11.2. No Warranty.

11.2.1. Nothing in this Agreement (including, without limitation, any exhibits or attachments hereto) shall be construed as a warranty on the part of Licensors that any results or inventions will be achieved in the Ramot Research or BIRAD Research.

Licensors make no representation that the manufacture, use or sale of the Licensed Technology or any Licensed Product, or any element thereof, will not infringe the patent or proprietary rights of any third party.

11.2.2. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no party makes any warranty with respect to any technology, patents, goods, services, rights or other subject matter of this Agreement and hereby disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and noninfringement with respect to any and all of the foregoing.

11.3. Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding the anything else in this Agreement or otherwise, neither Licensors nor BioLine will be liable to the other with respect to any subject matter of this Agreement under any contract, negligence, strict liability or other legal or equitable theory for (i) any indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages or lost profits or (ii) cost of procurement of substitute goods, technology or services.

12.	Indemnification.

12.1 Indemnity. BioLine shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Ramot, BIRAD, TAU, BIU, the Principal Investigators, the other members of the Licensor Teams, and their respective governors, directors, officers, employees, and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (the “Licensor Indemnitees”), against any liability, damage, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses of litigation) incurred by or imposed upon any of the Licensor Indemnitees in connection with any claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments (“Claims”) arising out of any theory of liability (including without limitation actions in the form of tort, warranty, or strict liability and regardless of whether such action has any factual basis) concerning the use of any Licensed Technology by BioLine, or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, or concerning any product, process, or service that is made, used, or sold pursuant to any right or license granted by Licensors to BioLine under this Agreement (except in cases where, and to the extent that, such claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments result from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any of the Licensor Indemnitee).

12.2. Procedures. If any Licensor Indemnitee receives notice of any Claim, such Licensor Indemnitee shall, as promptly as is reasonably possible, give BioLine notice of such Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notice promptly shall only relieve BioLine of any indemnification obligation it may have hereunder to the extent such failure diminishes the ability of BioLine to respond to or to defend the Licensor Indemnitee against such Claim. Licensors and BioLine shall consult and cooperate with each other regarding the response to and the defense of any such Claim and BioLine shall, upon its acknowledgment in writing of its obligation to indemnify the Licensor Indemnitee, be entitled to and shall assume the defense or represent the interests of the Licensor Indemnitee in respect of such Claim, that shall include the right to select and direct legal counsel and other consultants to appear in proceedings on behalf of the Licensor Indemnitee and to propose, accept or reject offers of settlement, all at its sole cost; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be made without the written consent of the Licensor Indemnitee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Nothing herein shall prevent the Licensor Indemnitee from retaining its own counsel and participating in its own defense at its own cost and expense.

12.3. Insurance. BioLine shall maintain insurance that is reasonably adequate to fulfill any potential obligation to the Licensor Indemnitees consistent with industry standards. The Licensors shall be listed as co-insured parties under any such insurance policy(ies). BioLine shall provide Ramot, upon request, with written evidence of such insurance.

April 15, 2004

Dear Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx (the "Principal Investigator")

Re: Team Agreement

This letter agreement (this "Letter") is addressed to you and the persons listed in Exhibit A to this Letter (each a "Researcher" and collectively, the "Researchers"). Exhibit A may be amended by the addition of new Researchers as described below. You and the Researchers are referred to collectively in this Letter as the "Team Members".

The Team Members are or were faculty members , post-doctoral fellows, students or technicians performing research at Felsenstein Medical Research Center of Tel Aviv University ("FMRC"). In such capacity, they have performed research at FMRC relating to conjugated anti-psychotic drugs and the use thereof (as further described in Exhibit B to this Agreement, the "Project") and/or are members of a team that will perform further research at FMRC relating to the Project under the supervision of the Principal Investigator.

By operation of law or under the terms of their employment or other relationships with Clalit Health Services, Tel Aviv University ("TAU") or Ramot, and according to agreements between Clalit Health Services and TAU and between TAU and Ramot, all rights, title and interest in and to any and all inventions and other results arrived at by the Team Members as a result of their relationship with TAU are owned by Ramot. This includes all intellectual property, inventions, know-how, technology, methods, data and other results directly relating to the Project arrived at prior to the date of this Agreement during the course of research and development at FMRC (the "Existing Project Technology").

Ramot and BioLineRX Ltd. ("BioLine") have entered into a research and license agreement (the "Research and License Agreement") pursuant to which: (1) Ramot granted BioLine a license with respect to certain patent and other rights relating to the Existing Project Technology, (2) BioLine agreed to fund further research relating to the Project at FMRC by Team Members; and (3) Ramot agreed to cause the performance of such research by Team Members and to grant BioLine a license with respect to the results arrived at in the performance of such research.

The purpose of this Letter is to set forth the rights and obligations of the Team Members with respect to the Project and the further research relating to the Project to be performed by some or all of the Team Members. Please read this Letter carefully and if you agree with its contents sign in the appropriate place next to your name below.

Sponsored Research.

(a) The Principal Investigator agrees to supervise and cause the performance at FMRC of further research relating to the Project in accordance with the research program included in Exhibit C to this Letter (as may be amended from time to time by the mutual agreement of Ramot and BioLine, after consultation with the Principal Investigator) and the budget included in Exhibit C to this Letter (as may be amended from time to time by the mutual agreement of Ramot and BioLine, after consultation with the Principal Investigator). Such research is referred to in this Letter as the "Sponsored Research."

(b) The Principal Investigator will keep BioLine reasonably informed concerning the Sponsored Research, its progress and its results.

2. Intellectual Property Rights.

(a) Each of the Team Members acknowledges , confirms and agrees that Ramot is and shall be the sole owner of all rights , title and interest in and to any and all Project Technology and any and all intellectual property rights relating to the Project Technology . "Project Technology" means the Existing Project Technology and any and all inventions , products, materials, methods, processes, techniques, know-how, data, information, discoveries and other results of whatever nature arrived at in the course of the performance of the Sponsored Research, whether at FMRC or elsewhere.

(b) Each of the Team Members agrees to sign and deliver to Ramot any documents, and to take any actions , that Ramot believes are needed or desirable in order to best confirm Ramot' s title in the Project Technology.

(c) The Team Members acknowledge that all patent applications relating to Project Technology, to the extent they cover inventions made by Team Members, will be filed in the name of Ramot, except in cases where Ramot believes that it is necessary that the patent applications be filed in the name of Team Members and then assigned to Ramot . Each of the Team Members agrees, at Ramot's request , to assist Ramot to file and obtain, and if needed to enforce, any patent or patent application relating to the Project Technology in any country requested by Ramot. Such assistance may include signing, verifying and delivering to Ramot such documents , and performing such other acts (including appearances as a witness ), as Ramot may reasonably request for use in applying for , obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining and enforcing such patents and patent applications and confirming their assignment to Ramot.

(d) In the event Ramot is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure a Team Member's signature on any document needed in connection with the actions specified in this clause 2, such Team Member hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Ramot and its duly authorized officers and agents as such Team Member's agent and attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and in such Team Member's behalf to sign, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of this clause 2 with the same legal force and effect as if executed by such Team Member.

3. Confidentiality and Publications.

(a) Each Team Member undertakes to keep confidential and not to disclose or use (other than for the furtherance of the Project) any Project Technology or BioLine Confidential Information to any person or entity other than a fellow Team Member, an employee of Ramot, or an employee, officer or director of BioLine, except and to the extent that s/he is instructed or authorized to do so by Ramot. This obligation of confidentiality does not apply to any portion of the Project Technology that is in the public domain (other than through the fault of such Team Member), nor does it apply to information included in scientific publications that have been approved by Ramot prior to publication. "BioLine Confidential Information" means any scientific, technical, trade or business information relating to the Sponsored Research designated as confidential or which otherwise should reasonably be construed under the circumstances as being confidential disclosed by or on behalf of BioLine to a Team Member, except to the extent such information: (i) was known to such Team Member at the time it was disclosed, other than by previous disclosure by or on behalf of BioLine, as evidenced by such Team Member's written records at the time of disclosure; (ii) is at the time of disclosure or later becomes publicly known under circumstances involving no breach of this Letter; (iii) is lawfully and in good faith made available to the Team Member by a third party who is not subject to obligations of confidentiality to BioLine or Ramot with respect to such information; or (iv)is independently developed by the Team Member without the use of or reference to BioLine Confidential Information, as demonstrated by documentary evidence.

(b) In general, Ramot will endeavor to assist the Team Members in facilitating publications relating to Project Technology and Ramot agrees not to unreasonably withhold its approval of publications, except to the extent described in this paragraph. In order to permit Ramot to comply with its obligations to BioLine and the opportunity to properly protect patent and proprietary rights relating to information included in such proposed publications, the Team Members agree to provide Ramot with a copy of each proposed publication at least forty (40) days in advance of the contemplated submission for publication to permit Ramot to review such submission to determine whether the publication or presentation contains subject matter for which patent protection should be sought prior to publication or presentation. Ramot will review, and shall allow BioLine to review, such proposed publication. If Ramot informs the Principal Investigator within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such proposed publication, that it wishes to seek protection with respect to material included within such proposed publication, then the Team Members will delay the submission of the publication or presentation for a further period of up to sixty (60) days (or longer if Ramot notifies the Team Members that such additional period is required in order to make the necessary patent filings) to enable Ramot to make the necessary patent filings.

(c) Each Team Member's obligations under this clause 3 shall continue in full force and effect during the term such Team Member is involved with the Sponsored Research and for a period of seven (7) years after the termination of such Team Member's involvement with the Sponsored Research.

4. Distributions.

(a) Those of the Team Members who are inventors of technologies included in patents relating to the Project Technology (together, the "Inventors") will be entitled, together, to receive from the proceeds received by Ramot from the commercialization of Project Technologies the amounts determined in accordance with the rules and regulations in effect at TAU, from time to time, relating to the allocation of the proceeds from the commercialization by Ramot of inventions made by them. The total distributions received by all Team Members according to this clause are referred to in this Agreement as the "Distributions".

(b) The Distributions shall be allocated among the Inventors in accordance with the percentages set forth in Exhibit C hereto. The Team Members understand that this allocation of the Distributions among the Inventors is based on the contribution of each Inventor to the inventions included in the Existing Technology.

(c) Each of the Team Members agrees that if, in the Principal Investigator's judgment, a change in the Sponsored Research, the composition of the research team or the respective contributions of the Inventors to the Project Technology being commercialized justifies a change in the allocation of the Distributions among the Inventors, the Principal Investigator will decide, at his sole discretion, on an amended allocation of the Distributions. Such change may include: (i) additions of persons to the list of Inventors entitled to a share of the Distributions; (ii) deletion of certain persons from the list of Inventors entitled to Distributions; (iii) changes in the respective share of the Distributions an Inventor is entitled to; and/or (iv) any other change deemed by the Principal Investigator to be appropriate, in his absolute discretion. (d) Ay change made pursuant to clause 4(c) will only affect Distributions paid after the date of the relevant change. It will not affect Distributions distributed to individual Inventors prior to the relevant change.

(e) Each of the Team Members agrees that, if a Team Member disputes a decision made by the Principal Investigator pursuant to this clause 4, or if there is more than one Principal Investigator and they are unable to reach agreement between them regarding the allocation of Distributions among Inventors pursuant to this clause 4, then the matter will be finally resolved by the Vice President and Xxxx for Research of TAU followed by confirmation of such determination by the President of TAU.

5. No Other Consideration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the terms of employment of the Team Members, the Team Members agree that they will not be entitled to any consideration or benefits of any nature in connection with or arising out of the commercialization of Project Technology, other than as specifically set forth in clause 4 above with respect to Inventors.

6. Taxes. Each Inventor will bear and pay any taxes imposed on such Team Member with respect to his/her share of Distributions. Ramot and TAU will be entitled to withhold, deduct or pay any withholding taxes and/or any other deductions or payments that Ramot or TAU may be required under law to withhold, deduct or pay with respect to any Distributions received by any Team Member.

7. Execution by New Team Members. The Principal Investigator undertakes to notify Ramot and TAU immediately of any new faculty member, post-doctoral fellow, student or other researcher who is to participate in the performance of the Sponsored Research. After consultation with the Principal Investigator, Ramot will decide whether such new researcher should sign this Letter as a Team Member. If Ramot determines that such new researcher should sign this Letter, the Principal Investigator will cause such new researcher to sign this Letter prior to performing Sponsored Research.

If the terms and provisions of this Letter are acceptable to you, please indicate your acceptance

by signing in the space indicated below (if you are the Principal Investigator) or on Exhibit A (if

you are a Researcher).
