The Company undertakes that (A) such Non-Uniform Offering shall be completed within (seven) 7 months from the Closing Date and shall be in full compliance with any and all Israeli Securities Laws requirements, including insuring that such Non-Uniform Offering is underwritten, (b) that the underwriter in such offering (the "Pricing Underwriter") participated in the determination of the Per Share Purchase Price under this Agreement, in accordance with an agreement with such underwriter attached as Schedule 4.2(b) to this Agreement, and (C) that the Pricing Underwriter complies with all requirements and limitations under Israeli Securities Laws (including and in particular any and all requirements and limitations pertaining to conflict of interest of an underwriter in a non-uniform offering). The above notwithstanding, and with no further obligation by the Company to any Purchaser, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the establishment of the ADR Facility even after such (seven) 7 month period has expired and the publishing of the Listing Prospectus and in such case, the Purchasers shall have the right to convert their Shares and Warrant Shares, once exercised, to ADSs of the Company under the ADR Facility.
(c) It is agreed and acknowledged by the Purchasers, that the Listing Prospectus will release the Israeli lock up restrictions on the Shares and the Warrant Shares, only for Purchasers that are (A) Institutional Investors (as defined above) at the time of this Agreement, at the time of the Closing and at the time such Listing Prospectus is published, and (B) only for Purchasers which are party to this Agreement (and not to any transferees of such Purchaser). It is further agreed and acknowledged by the Purchasers that the Listing Prospectus, or other TASE prospectus or offering report similar thereto, may be used to facilitate a release of Israeli lockup restrictions on any shares and warrants sold pursuant to the Israeli Institutional Investors Transaction and/or the US Investors Transaction and/or the Orbimed Transaction; provided, however, that if the Listing Prospectus is utilized to release any lock-up provisions other than the Purchaser's lock-up provisions, Purchaser's rights as provided under this Agreement shall not be adversely affected from such joinder.
23
(d) If following the seven (7) month anniversary of the Closing Date (i) a Registration Statement registering for resale by the Purchasers all of the ADRs representing the Shares and Warrant Shares (or registering for resale all of the Shares and Warrant Shares directly) is not declared effective by the Commission, and (ii) all lock-up restrictions on the trading of the Shares and Warrant Shares in Israel were not removed in a Non-Uniform Offering (the existence of both (i) and (ii) above, shall be referred herein as a "Registration Failure"), then, in addition to the Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount of Securities still held by the Purchaser and still subject to any lock up period under the Israeli Securities Laws (which lock-up period would otherwise be released by the Company taking such actions as set forth above) on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Registration Failure, until the date such Registration Failure is cured. The payments to which the Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2(d) are referred to herein as “Registration Failure Payments.” In no event shall Registration Failure Payments be payable by the Company in respect of more than twelve (12) thirty (30)-day periods. Registration Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Registration Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Registration Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 4.2(d), nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Registration Failure, and the Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The Parties agree that the Registration Failure Payments were considered by them and were agreed as foreseeable and reasonable estimation of the damages incurred by the Purchaser for the failure by the Company to register the Shares and Warrant Shares as ADR or to remove the restrictions on such Shares and Warrant Shares in a Non-Uniform Offering, as required under this Section 4.2. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, if the Purchaser delays providing customary information, or takes other actions that directly causes the Company to make a Registration Failure, then the Company can exclude such Purchaser’s shares from the Registration Statement without liability to the Purchaser. In addition, the Company’s obligations hereunder to the Purchaser (and the determination of whether a Registration Failure has occurred) shall be conditioned on the Purchasers’ timely provision in all material respects of information reasonably requested by the Company in connection with any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or the Israeli Securities Authority, and no Registration Failure Payments to a Purchaser shall be incurred in the event of unreasonable delay caused by such Purchaser’s failure to respond to the Company’s information requests or requests for customary representations; provided, however, that the obligations of the Company towards any Purchaser under this Section 4(2) (including the obligation to pay Registration Failure Payments) that has complied with the above, shall not be prejudiced in any way due to a non-compliance of any other Purchaser with such provisions.
24
4.3 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall by the earlier of (i) 9:30 a.m. (Israeli time) on the Trading Day immediately following the date hereof, or (ii) as otherwise required under the Israeli Securities Laws, (a) issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) file an Immediate Report to the TASE and the ISA disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and all other disclosures pertaining to this Agreement as required by Israeli Securities Laws. In addition when required under the Israeli Securities Laws, but no later than 3 Trading Days following the report filed as per sub-Section (b) above, file immediate report with respect to an exceptional private offering, a material private offering and/or a private offering, all in accordance with Israeli Securities Laws, including a notice of a shareholders' meeting and the intention of the Company to release the Shares and the Warrant Shares from any lock-up restrictions in a non-uniform offering. The Company and the Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of the Purchaser, or without the prior consent of the Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of the Purchaser in any filing required under the Israeli Securities Laws, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except: (a) as required by federal securities law, including in connection with any Registration Statement contemplated hereby and/or the ADR Facility, and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, including the Israeli Securities Laws and/or the Companies Law (including for avoidance of doubt the provisions set forth in Section 185 of the Companies Law and any subsequent public disclosures the Company have to make as a result of this section), or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b). The Company acknowledges that the Purchaser is a publicly traded company listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange which is subject to strict reporting requirements, inter alia, relating to the Company and the parties hereto shall coordinate any public TASE disclosures to the extent possible.
4.4 Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide the Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto the Purchaser shall have entered into a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. In no event shall the Company be liable to the Purchaser for the failure to disclose information due to the operation of this provision; provided, however, that if the Company is withholding or not fully disclosing any information due to any legal requirement, it shall have informed the Purchaser of such fact; and further provided however that disclosures to be made by the Company as required pursuant to that which is set forth in Section 3.1(i) above, shall only be made after the Purchaser has entered into a standard and reasonable written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information.
4.5 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Company also may use a portion of the net proceeds, currently intended for general corporate purposes, to acquire or invest in technologies, products, services or companies that complement its business, although the Company has no present plans or commitments and is not currently engaged in any material negotiations with respect to these types of transactions. Pending these uses, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities, or as otherwise pursuant to the Company’s customary investment policies. The Company shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables or the Company’s bank overdrafts in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), (b) for the redemption of any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation as of the date hereof or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.
25
4.6 Indemnification of Purchaser.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.7, the Company will indemnify and hold the Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning in the Israeli Securities Law ), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate or transferee of any Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of a Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Parties may have with any such shareholder or any violations by Purchaser Parties of any applicable securities laws or any conduct by Purchaser Parties which constitutes fraud, negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance, in each such case, only to the extent Company or any person on its behalf did not contribute to such breach, violation, negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance or if Company's actions constitute fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance) (the "Indemnifiable Losses"). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable exclusively (and without contribution of the Company) to any Purchaser Party’s negligence or intentional misconduct or breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred, provided that all such amounts shall be refunded to the Company in the event that it is ultimately determined by competent courts that the receiving party was not entitled to indemnification hereunder. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
26
4.7 Reservation of Ordinary Shares. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available until exercise or expiration of the Warrant, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of Ordinary Shares for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.
4.8 Listing of Ordinary Shares. The Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain as long as any Warrant is outstanding (and for a period of 6 months thereafter), the listing or quotation of the Ordinary Shares on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed. The Company will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing or quotation and trading of its Ordinary Shares on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. Following the formation of the ADR Facility, and for as long as any Warrant is outstanding (and for a period of 6 months thereafter), the Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Ordinary Shares for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
4.9 Subsequent Equity Sales.
(a) Subject to all applicable laws, including the Israeli Securities Laws, from the date hereof until the one-year anniversary after the earlier of (A) the registration of the Shares and, if applicable, the Warrant Shares, under the ADR Facility, or (B) the removal of any Israeli Lock-Up restrictions in a Non-Uniform Offering (each as described in Section 4.2), or (C) the removal of any Israeli Lock-Up restrictions in accordance with the provisions of Section 15C of the Securities Law and the regulations promulgated under such Section, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional Ordinary Shares either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the Ordinary Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Ordinary Shares or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company is obligated to issue securities at a future determined price, provided that the presence of customary anti-dilution protections shall not, in itself, deem a transaction a Variable Rate Transaction. Subject to such right not being transferable, any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
27
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.9 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance.
4.10 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. The Purchaser covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any transactions, including Short Sales, in any of the Company’s securities, or derivative securities thereof, during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4. The Purchaser covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial immediate reports and press release as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Purchaser makes no representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial immediate reports and press release as described in Section 4.4, (ii) the Purchaser shall not be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4 and (iii) without derogating from subsections (i) and (ii), the Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to the matters disclosed publicly by the Company after the issuance of the initial immediate reports and press release as described in Section 4.4.
4.11 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that, subject to the receipt of the Required Approvals, its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against the Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other shareholders of the Company.
4.12 Israeli Institutional Investors; US Investors; Orbimed. Subject to the provision of section2.3(a)(iv) above, and without derogating therefrom, for avoidance of doubt it is clarified that it is agreed and understood by the Purchaser that any possible or contemplated parallel investment in the Company by either of (i) any Israeli Institutional Investors, as such are defined in the first Annex to the Securities Law (an “Israeli Institutional Investors Transaction”), and/or (ii) OrbiMed Israel Partners, Limited Partnership, or any of its Affiliates ("Orbimed" and “Orbimed Transaction respectively) and/or (iii) certain accredited investors (as defined under federal securities laws) in the USA (the “US Investors Transaction”), is not a condition precedent to effect the Closing, and the Closing shall take place upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the Closing as set forth in this Agreement, irrespective of any failure by the Company to negotiate, complete the execution of, or closing thereunder, any investment agreement with any other investors in excess of the Minimum Amount; whether such failure is due to the Company or any investor or caused by failure to achieve any required shareholder or other required corporate approvals to any such possible investment agreements.
28

5.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

5.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely (after giving effect to any cure period) perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that in the case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the Purchaser shall be required to return any Ordinary Shares subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).
5.14 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
31
5.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.16 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of the Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other purchaser in any other parallel transaction being contemplated hereto, and the Purchaser shall not be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other purchaser under any transaction document with respect to such transactions. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by the Purchaser pursuant hereof or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchaser together with the purchasers under other parallel investments in the Company as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that such purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.
5.17 Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.
5.18 Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Trading Day or Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day or Business Day, as applicable.
5.19 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, any rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and Ordinary Shares in any Transaction Document shall, in accordance with applicable Trading Market regulations, be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward share splits, share dividends, share combinations and other similar transactions of the Ordinary Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement.
