		2.3.	Sublicenses. BioLine shall be entitled to grant Sublicenses to third parties under the License, it being clarified that Sublicenses shall be granted for consideration and in arm’s length transactions, and that sublicenses to Affiliates of BioLine shall not be considered Sublicenses under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding the fact that BioLine is solely responsible for the commercialization of Licensed Products, prior to granting any Sublicense to a third party (the “Prospective Sublicensee”), the provisions of this Section 2 will apply to any Sublicense grant.





 



		2.3.1.	Sublicense Prior to Completion of Development Plan. Prior to the date that at least one Contemplated Clinical Trial has commenced and at least one Contemplated Clinical Trial has been completed, any grant of a Sublicense shall require the prior written consent of Licensor, which may be withheld in its sole discretion.





 



		2.3.2.	Sublicense after Completion of Development Plan.  After the date set forth in Section 2.3.1, any grant of a Sublicense shall not require the prior written consent of Licensor but shall be subject to the following:

		2.3.2.2.	In the event that Licensor notifies BioLine in writing that it does not wish to propose an Alternative Prospective Sublicensee or fails to provide BioLine with a Response within the aforementioned 7 day period, BioLine shall be entitled to grant the aforementioned Sublicense to the Prospective Sublicensee with no further obligations in respect thereof to Licensor (save and except for the remaining provisions of this Article).

For avoidance of doubt, it is hereby clarified that should the final executed version include material changes from the proposed final draft provided to Licensor for review pursuant to the foregoing, Licensee shall specifically notify Licensor of such material changes within reasonable time prior to execution.  The Licensor shall have a right to comment on, and to object to the sublicense agreement to the extent that it provides rights to the Sublicensee that are inconsistent with, or deviate from, the terms of this Agreement, in which case such Sublicense Agreement shall not come into effect. Each such sublicense agreement shall be consistent with the terms of the Agreement and shall contain, inter alia, provisions to the following effect:

Licensor’s consent to such Sublicensee request shall not be unreasonably withheld.





 



		2.3.4.	A Sublicensee shall be entitled to Sublicense its rights under a Sublicense agreement, and so forth through a chain of sublicenses, provided that each such sublicense shall be subject to the terms specified in Section 2.3 above.





 



		2.4.	Contractors and Affiliates.  BioLine shall have the right to utilize third party contractors in connection with BioLine’s activities in exploiting the License.

At the written request of Licensor provided to BioLine within 30 days of the receipt of the foregoing election, BioLine shall cooperate with Licensor, and take actions necessary to transfer responsibility for such payments to Licensor. In such event, any license granted by Licensor to BioLine hereunder with respect to such Abandoned Patent Rights will terminate, and BioLine will have no rights whatsoever to exploit such Abandoned Patent Right.

Each party shall be entitled to designate two representatives to the JDC (each a “Representative”). The JDC shall meet no less frequently than monthly, and shall produce in each such meeting a written workplan in respect of the period until the next meeting of the JDC. The Representatives shall be bound by the confidentiality arrangements set out in this Agreement.  The parties agree to consult, via their respective Representatives, in respect of material decisions related to the exercise of the License and/or the Licensed Technology and/or Licensed Products.  In the context of the JDC, each party shall provide the other party, via their respective Representatives, with quarterly reports which shall summarize the material activities undertaken by such party (or in the case of BioLine, its Affiliates and/or contractors), as applicable, with respect to the Licensed Technology, the Development Plan and/or the Licensed Products during the period which the report covers. All activities and work undertaken by the parties according to this Agreement and the Development Plan shall be fully transparent to the parties.

In the event that, after such 7 day period, the parties cannot resolve such matter, either party - via such party’s chief executive officer - may refer such matter for definitive resolution to Dr. Aharon Schwartz (or his successor in the position of chairman of the board of BioLine).  The dispute resolution mechanism herein shall not apply to change of indication (except in the case of the initial determination of the second indication), material changes to the budget under the Development Plan or changes to the number of patients under the Development Plan.  To avoid doubt, subject to the express terms and conditions of this Agreement, as between the parties, BioLine shall be solely responsible for all decisions regarding the commercialization of Licensed Products, and all commercialization and business development activities under the License and with respect to Licensed Products.  The Joint Development Committee shall be disbanded on the earlier to occur of (i) the completion of the Development Plan, or (ii) the grant by BioLine of a Sublicense.





 



		5.4.	Change of Indication.  The targeted indication of one of the Contemplated Clinical Trials shall be AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) and the indication of the second Contemplated Clinical Trial shall be determined as set forth in the Development Plan.  In the event BioLine believes that any indication of a trial should be changed, it will promptly notify Licensor and the parties shall make efforts to achieve consensus on a replacement indication.  In the event that the parties are unable to reach consensus after a period of 7 days, either of the parties may refer the matter to their respective chief executive officer (or his or her designee) who will be then have 7 days to attempt to resolve the matter with the chief executive officer (or his or her designee) of the other party.  In the event that, after such 7 day period, the parties cannot resolve the matter, either party - via such party’s chief executive officer - may refer the matter for definitive resolution by expert determination according to the World Intellectual Property Expert Arbitration Rules.  The expert shall be chosen by mutual agreement of the parties within 14 days of the referral of the matter to expert arbitration by one of the parties.

Licensor shall make all commercial efforts to assign or transfer to BioLine all agreements with third parties concerning the manufacture of the Drug, or any other agreements related to the Drug or the Contemplated Clinical Trials reasonably required or deemed helpful by BioLine in order to perform its obligations under the Development Plan. Licensor represents that it has produced under Good Manufacturing Practices a certain quantity of the Drug. Licensor shall make available to BioLine all amounts of the Drug in its possession or control.  BioLine shall use such amounts of the Drug as determined by the JDC. The parties hereby acknowledge that such quantity of the Drug shall not suffice for the performance of the Contemplated Clinical Trials and the Development Plan and that BioLine may independently contract for the manufacture of additional quantities of the Drug, as set forth in the Development Plan.





 



		5.9.	Other Projects.  BioLine represents that it has no current projects in the fields of stem cell mobilization, non-Hodgkins lymphomas, and/or acute myeloid leukemia. Until the earlier of (i) the completion of the Development Plan, or (ii) the grant of a Sublicense hereunder, BioLine shall not acquire or continue developing any projects in the fields of non-Hodgkins lymphomas and/or acute myeloid leukemia, except that BioLine may acquire and continue developing any such projects until the commencement of Phase II Clinical Trials for such projects (or any earlier stage). A breach of this Section 5.8 shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement which shall entitle Licensor to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.3.2.1.

		6.4.	BioLine shall assume Licensor’s payment obligations to the OCS in respect of grants received and directly attributable to the Licensed Technology, (amounts received by Licensor pursuant to such grants are referring to herein as “Licensor Grants”). In the event that BioLine or an Affiliate of BioLine is legally required to make payments to the OCS in respect of Licensor Grants, BioLine may deduct the amount of such Licensor Grants from any payments otherwise due to Licensor in respect of Sublicense Receipts hereunder. In the event amounts payable by BioLine in respect of Licensor Grants exceeds amounts otherwise payable by BioLine to Licensor hereunder, the excess amount of Licensor Grants otherwise deductible shall be deferred and deducted from future payments by BioLine to Licensor in respect of Sublicense Receipts hereunder. Subject to the foregoing right of BioLine to deduct such amounts from Sublicense Receipts, Licensor shall not be obligated to make any payments to BioLine in respect of amounts paid by BioLine in respect of Licensor Grants.

		6.5.	BioLine may not make deduction or offsets from payments to Licensor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.





 



		6.6.	The parties agree that if BioLine is legally required to make payments to third parties, where such payments are required as a result of such third parties providing Grants to BioLine for research and development activities relating to the Licensed Technology (including payments due to the OCS as a result of BioLine’s receipt of funds from the OCS), such amounts shall be paid for solely by BioLine from its share of Sublicense Receipts and it shall not be entitled to offset such payments to third parties from amounts due to Licensor hereunder.





 



		6.7.	Royalty Payments.  In the event that BioLine itself or any of its Affiliates or any entity on their behalf (excluding a Sublicensee) will actually manufacture and/or sell Licensed Products under the license granted in this Agreement, then BioLine will pay to Licensor royalties on Net Sales on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis until the later of (i) last to expire of any patent included within the Licensed Technology in such country or (ii) the availability in a country of a product competitive with a Licensed Product, at the following rates:

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 Licensed Technology in a particular country, BioLine may offset such third-party payments against the royalty payments that are due to Licensor pursuant to Section 6.7 with respect to sales in such country.





 



- 16 -











		6.9.	Combination Products.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event either (a) a Licensed Product is sold by BioLine or an Affiliate of BioLine, or any entity on their behalf, in the form of a Combination Product or (b) the grant of a Sublicense hereunder is part of a larger transaction also involving the grant by BioLine (or its Affiliates) of sublicenses in respect of Additional Ingredients for a Combination Product, then Net Sales and Sublicense Receipts, as applicable, from such Combination Product, for purposes of determining payments hereunder, shall be determined by multiplying the actual Net Sales or Sublicense Receipts, as applicable, 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 such entity; 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, then Net Sales or Sublicense Receipts, as applicable, for the purpose of determining royalty payments shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales or Sublicense Receipts, as applicable, 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. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as limiting or otherwise affecting Licensor’s ownership rights in the Licensed Technology as set forth in Section 3.1.





 



		6.10.	Payment in the Event of an M&A Transaction. In the event BioLine effects an M&A Transaction, within 30 days from the closing date of such M&A Transaction (or earlier) the Licensor may request in writing that the parties shall make good faith efforts to determine the portion of the purchase price in such M&A Transaction which is attributable to the Licensed Technology (the “Relative Value”), and to the extent the parties cannot agree thereto, such Relative Value shall be determined by a third-party independent appraiser jointly appointed by the parties. In such event, within thirty (30) days from the day that the parties determine the Relative Value pursuant to the procedure set forth herein, BioLine shall pay to Licensor a percentage of the Relative Value in accordance with the payment schedule in Section 6.4 (as if the Relative Value was Sublicense Receipts).  Any amounts payable by BioLine in respect of the Relative Value shall be deducted from future payments by BioLine to Licensor hereunder.





 



		6.11.	Reversal of Parties Rights’ and Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that, within 24 months from the completion of the Development Plan (the “Reversal Date”), BioLine: (a) has not granted a Sublicense to any third party, in an arm’s length good faith transaction, and is not diligently pursuing such a transaction (ie, has signed a non-binding term sheet with a potential Sublicensee or a potential Sublicensee is actively performing due diligence with respect to the Licensed technology), and (b) is not commercializing the Drug (i.e., has presented a development plan and is diligently and substantively executing the same) then, upon written notice by Licensor which must be given within 7 days of the Reversal Date, all of BioLine’s rights and responsibilities with respect to commercialization of the Licensed Products shall revert to Licensor, provided however that (a) Licensor shall have no further obligation to commercialize the Drug and (b) Licensor shall assume all of BioLine’s rights and obligations with respect to OCS and other Grants (including Grants of Licensor previously assumed by BioLine hereunder), mutatis mutandis. In such event, BioLine’s obligation to pay Sublicense Receipts and royalty payments hereunder shall pass from BioLine to Licensor, such that Licensor will make such payments to BioLine in the same manner, amounts and times as BioLine would have been required to make payments to Licensor hereunder, mutatis mutandis.

Licensor further undertakes not to transfer, assign, grant rights to, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of or encumber the Licensed Technology, or permit any third party to use the Drug other than as may be expressly permitted in this Agreement.

		10.5.	Limitation of Liability.  Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement or otherwise, neither Licensor 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.





 



	11.	Indemnification; Insurance.





 



		11.1.	Indemnity in Favor of Licensor.





 



		11.1.1.	BioLine shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Licensor, its directors, officers, employees and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (the “Licensor Indemnitees”), from and 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 (i) the use of any Licensed Technology by BioLine, or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees, or (ii) any product, process, or service that is made, used, or sold pursuant to any right or license granted by Licensor to BioLine under this Agreement (except in cases where, and to the extent that, such Claims fall within the scope of the indemnity in favor of BioLine pursuant to Section 11.2 below).





 



		11.1.2.	Procedures.  If any Licensor Indemnitee receives notice of any Claim, Licensor shall, as promptly as is reasonably possible, give BioLine written 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 materially prejudices the ability of BioLine to respond to or to defend the Licensor Indemnitee against such Claim.  Licensor 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 where any such settlement impacts upon any of Licensor’s rights, involves any admission of wrong-doing by Licensor or any of the Licensor Indemnitees, or involves any other obligation or undertaking on the part of Licensor or any of the Licensor Indemnitees, Licensor’s written consent shall be required, 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.

		11.2.1.

		11.2.2.	Procedures.  If any BioLine Indemnitee receives notice of any Claim, BioLine shall, as promptly as is reasonably possible, give Licensor written notice of such Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notice promptly shall only relieve Licensor of any indemnification obligation it may have hereunder to the extent such failure materially prejudices the ability of Licensor to respond to or to defend the BioLine Indemnitee against such Claim.  BioLine and Licensor shall consult and cooperate with each other regarding the response to and the defense of any such Claim and Licensor shall, upon its acknowledgment in writing of its obligation to indemnify the BioLine Indemnitee, be entitled to and shall assume the defense or represent the interests of the BioLine 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 BioLine Indemnitee and to propose, accept or reject offers of settlement, all at its sole cost; provided, however, that where any such settlement impacts upon any of BioLine’s rights, involves any admission of wrong-doing by BioLine or any of the BioLine Indemnitees, or involves any other obligation or undertaking on the part of BioLine or any of the BioLine Indemnitees, BioLine’s written consent shall be required, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.  Nothing herein shall prevent the BioLine Indemnitee from retaining its own counsel and participating in its own defense at its own cost and expense.





 



- 26 -











		11.3.	Insurance.  Each party shall maintain appropriate insurance that is customary in the biotechnology industry to cover the activities under this Agreement and the Development Plan, provided that the costs of obtaining an insurance policy covering the Licensor’s activities under the Development Plan shall be paid for solely by BioLine.





 



	12.	Term and Termination.





 



		12.1.	Term.  The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated as provided in this Section 12, shall continue in full force and effect on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis until the expiration of all payment obligations pursuant to Section 6 for such Licensed Product.





 



		12.2.	Effect of Expiration.  Following the expiration of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1 on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis (and provided the Agreement has not been earlier terminated pursuant to Section 12.3, in which case Section 12.4.1 shall apply), BioLine shall have a royalty-bearing, non-exclusive, worldwide license under the same terms stated above in Section 2 (with the right to grant sublicenses) under the Licensed Technology to research, have researched, develop, have developed, manufacture, have manufactured, use, market, distribute, offer for sale, sell, have sold, export and import Licensed Products and/or provide services relating thereto.

		12.3.2.1.	In the event that BioLine commits a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and fails to cure that breach within 30 days after receiving written notice thereof from Licensor, Licensor may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to BioLine.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any breach is not susceptible of cure within the stated period and BioLine uses diligent good faith efforts to cure such breach, the stated period will be extended by an additional 30 days.





 



		12.3.2.2.	In the event that Licensor commits a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and fails to cure that breach within 30 days after receiving written notice thereof from BioLine, BioLine may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Licensor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any breach is not susceptible of cure within the stated period and Licensor uses diligent good faith efforts to cure such breach, the stated period will be extended by an additional 30 days.





 



- 27 -











		12.3.3.	Bankruptcy.





 



		12.3.3.1.	Either BioLine or Licensor may terminate this Agreement upon notice to the other if the other party becomes insolvent, is adjudged bankrupt, applies for judicial or extra-judicial settlement with its creditors, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily files for bankruptcy or has a receiver or trustee (or the like) in bankruptcy appointed by reason of its insolvency, or in the event an involuntary bankruptcy action is filed against the other party and not dismissed within 90 days, or if the other party becomes the subject of liquidation or dissolution proceedings (other than in the context of a solvent internal restructuring), admits in writing its inability to pay its debts or otherwise discontinues business.





 



		12.3.3.2.	Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a receiver or trustee (or the like) is appointed or either party has entered into a settlement with its creditors and the other party is otherwise meeting its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, and such trustee (or the like) or creditors assume all the obligations set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may not be terminated as contemplated under Section 12.3.3.1 during such period as long as it is not breached in any way or manner.





 



		12.3.4.	Termination Prior to Effective Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 12, either party may terminate this Agreement following a response from the OCS and each party’s discharge of its obligations under Section 2, with no liability to the other party, if (i) such party exercises its right to withhold agreement to modifications to the Execution Date Agreement in accordance with Section 2.1(c); or (ii) the OCS does not grant its consent to the Execution Date Agreement or a modified Execution Date Agreement, as such modified Execution Date Agreement and the process for modification are described in Section 2.1.  The provisions of Section 8.1 and this Section 12.3.4 shall survive such termination, but all other terms, provisions, representations, rights and obligations contained in this Agreement shall terminate.





 



- 28 -











		12.4.	Effect of Termination.





 



		12.4.1.	Termination of Rights.  Upon termination by BioLine pursuant to Section 12.3.1, 12.3.2.2 or 12.3.3 hereof (except in the circumstances set out in Section 12.3.3.2), or by Licensor pursuant to Sections 12.3.2.1 or 12.3.3 hereof (except in the circumstances set out in Section 12.3.3.2): (a) the rights and licenses granted to BioLine under Section 2 shall terminate; (b) subject to the assumption by Licensor of all of BioLine’s obligations to the OCS, including BioLine’s obligations pursuant to the Licensor Grants, as contemplated in Section 6.4, all rights in and to the Licensed Technology and any documents concerning work performed under the Development Plan or intellectual property developed by Licensor (including under the Development Plan) shall revert to Licensor, and BioLine shall not be entitled to make any further use whatsoever of the Licensed Technology or such documents nor shall BioLine research, develop, manufacture, use, market, distribute, offer for sale, sell, export or import Licensed Products and/or provide services relating thereto; and (c) any existing agreements that contain a sublicense of the Licensed Technology shall terminate to the extent of such sublicense; subject to Section 2.3.3.2; and provided further, that such terms shall be amended, if necessary, to the extent required to ensure that such sublicense agreement does not impose any obligations or liabilities on Licensor which are not included in this Agreement.  Licensor’s consent to such Sublicensee request shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In addition, following any termination as aforesaid, each party will return or cause to be returned to the other party, or destroy or have destroyed any Confidential Information of the other Party, and without limiting the foregoing, BioLine shall make commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Licensor any documents or other materials relating to work performed under the Development Plan or to business development or commercial contacts with respect to the Licensed Technology or Licensed Products.  A recipient of Confidential Information shall however be entitled to retain one copy of the Confidential Information in its legal files for the purpose of determining its obligations under this Agreement.  BioLine and its Affiliates shall discontinue any manufacture, distribution or use of the Licensed Technology, including in relation to the Licensed Product.





 



		12.4.2.	New Developments. Upon termination of this Agreement, except by reason of a material breach of this Agreement by Licensor, and, except for termination by reason of a material breach by BioLine, subject to the assumption by Licensor of all of BioLine’s obligations to the OCS (including BioLine’s obligations pursuant to the Licensor Grants) BioLine will grant Licensor an exclusive, royalty-bearing license under BioLine’s rights in any New Developments solely to develop, make and have made, market, offer for sale, sell and import Licensed Products (a “BioLine License”). If Licensor or its Affiliates thereafter either receive consideration in respect of Licensed Products or grants a sublicense under the BioLine License, Licensor shall make payment to BioLine of 30% of all of Licensor’s Net Proceeds. “Net Proceeds” means all net consideration (but not including Grants) received by Licensor (or its Affiliates) in connection with a BioLine License, it being clarified that for the purpose hereof, net consideration shall mean Net Sales (as defined above in Article 1), mutatis mutandis.





 




		12.4.3.	Accruing Obligations.  Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the parties of obligations occurring prior to such termination, including obligations to pay amounts accruing hereunder up to the date of termination.





 





- 29 -










 



		12.5.	Survival.  The parties’ respective rights, obligations and duties under Sections 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13, as well as any rights, obligations and duties which by their nature extend beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement, shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement including any obligation to pay any fees due to Licensor, arising from the provisions of this Agreement, and being received following termination or expiration.

		13.3.1.	This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to the application of principles of conflicts of law, except for matters of patent law, which, other than for matters of inventorship on patents, shall be governed by the patent laws of the relevant country of the patent.





 



		13.3.2.	Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3, the parties hereby consent to personal jurisdiction in Israel and agree that any lawsuit they file to enforce their respective rights under this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the competent courts in Jerusalem, Israel.





 



		13.3.3.	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, disputes regarding the matters set forth in Section 5.3 (and not expressly excluded therein) shall be resolved exclusively by the JDC according to the procedures set forth in Section 5.3. Any decision made pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 5.3 shall be final, and neither party shall challenge such decision in court or by arbitration, unless the challenging party can show that the actions of the other party being challenged were taken in bad faith or as a result of a material conflict of interest.





 



		13.3.4.	Any dispute that both (i) concerns whether a party has made commercially reasonable diligent efforts to commercialize the Drug and (ii) is not otherwise governed by the dispute resolution mechanism set forth in Sections 5.3 and Section 13.3.3 shall be resolved pursuant to the following procedure. The dispute shall be first referred to the JDC which shall promptly meet, either personally or via electronic means, in a good faith effort to resolve the dispute. If the JDC cannot resolve such dispute within 4 business days after the matter is referred to it, the dispute shall be referred to the respective chairman of the boards of each of the parties which shall promptly meet, either personally or via electronic means, in a good faith effort to resolve the dispute. If the chairmen of the boards do not resolve such dispute within 4 calendar days after the matter is referred to them, the dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration as set forth in Section 13.3.5 below.





 



- 31 -











		13.3.5.	In the event of a dispute which is specified in Section 13.3.4 and fails to be resolved by the chairmen of the boards as described therein  such dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration to be conducted in Jerusalem, Israel, before one arbitrator in accordance with the World Intellectual Property Organization Expedited Arbitration Rules. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The identity of the arbitrator shall be mutually agreed upon by the Licensor and BioLine. In connection with any arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Agreement, unless the arbitrators shall determine otherwise, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses. The submission of any dispute to arbitration in and of itself shall not derogate from BioLine’s rights to develop and commercialize the Licensed Technology hereunder, subject to the decision of the arbitrator.





 



		13.3.6.	Any dispute concerning a change in the indication of one of the Contemplated Clinical Trials from the current indication of AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) or the indication of the other Contemplated Clinical Trial from the one determined in accordance with the procedure set forth in the Development Plan shall be resolved pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 5.4.

		13.5.	Headings.  Section and subsection headings are inserted for convenience of reference only and do not form a part of this Agreement.





 



		13.6.	Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original.





 



		13.7.	Amendment; Waiver.  This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded or canceled, and any of the terms may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by each party or, in the case of waiver, by the party waiving compliance.  The delay or failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provisions hereof shall in no manner affect the rights at a later time to enforce the same.  No waiver by either party of any condition or of the breach of any term contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct, or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or considered as, a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or of the breach of such term or any other term of this Agreement.





 



		13.8.	No Agency or Partnership.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give any Party the right to bind another, or be deemed to constitute either Party as agent for the other or as partner with the other Party or any third party.





 



		13.9.	Assignment and Successors.  This Agreement may not be assigned by either party, without the consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that each party may, without such consent, assign this Agreement and the rights, obligations and interests of such party, in whole or in part, to any of its Affiliates, to any purchaser of all or substantially all of its assets or research to which the subject matter of this Agreement relates, or to any successor corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation of such party with or into such corporation.





 



- 32 -











		13.10.	Force Majeure.  Neither party will be responsible for delays resulting from causes beyond the reasonable control of such party, including without limitation, regulatory delay, fire, explosion, flood, war, strike, or riot, provided that the non-performing party uses commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance and continues performance under this Agreement with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed.





 



		13.11.	Interpretation.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that: (i) each Party and its counsel reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions of this Agreement and have contributed to its revision; (ii) the rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement; and (iii) the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be construed fairly as to both parties hereto and not in favor of or against either party, regardless of which party was generally responsible for the preparation of this Agreement.





 



		13.12.	Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid or is ruled invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction or is deemed unenforceable, it is the intention of the parties that such provision shall be interpreted as necessary to give maximum effect to such provision as permitted under law and that the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected.





 



		13.13.	Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by facsimile, each of which, when executed, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.

Exhibit B


 


Development Plan


 


This Development Plan sets forth the complete program of development of the Drug, including the Contemplated Clinical Trials, to be conducted by BioLine and Licensor pursuant to the terms and conditions of the License Agreement


 


Clinical Trial Indication 1 – Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)


 


Study treatment involves administration of 2 doses of BKT140 on consecutive days during the prophase, followed immediately by 5 consecutive days of salvage chemotherapy, each daily dose of chemotherapy preceded by a dose of BKT140. It is estimated that 25 qualified subjects shall be enrolled in this clinical trial.


 


The study endpoints:


 


Primary


 



		1.	To assess the safety and tolerability of multiple and repeated doses of BKT140 in AML patients when given in combination with standard salvage chemotherapy





 


Secondary


 



		1.	Treatment response following administration of BKT140 in combination with standard salvage chemotherapy (OR, CR and PR)





 



		2.	BKT-induced apoptosis of AML cells in the peripheral blood and bone marrow





 



		3.	BKT-induced mobilization of AML blasts and leukemic stem cells measured in the peripheral blood by FACS and FISH analysis (FISH will be performed in suitable cases exhibiting a unique, identifiable chromosomal abnormality)





 


Treatment response (secondary endpoint 1) will be evaluated approx. 4-6 weeks following the start of salvage chemotherapy.


 


The apoptosis and mobilization endpoints are collected during the prophase of the study and combination treatment with Chemo + BKT140.


 


A bone marrow sample is also collected approx. 4-6 weeks following the start of salvage chemotherapy.


 


The estimated budget of such clinical trial is USD 1.5 million, such costs and expenses to be borne by BioLine.


 


Clinical Trial Indication 2


 


The Joint Development Committee shall determine the second indication and draft a work plan for the Contemplated Clinical Trial studying such indication within 45 days of the Effective Date. Subject to the guidelines in the following sentence which may not be amended thereunder, any disagreement regarding the determination of the second indication shall be in accordance with Section 5.3 of the Agreement. It is estimated and agreed that a total of 25 patients will complete this study within the Clinical Trial Period as defined in the License Agreement plus the aforementioned 45 days.


 


The budget of such clinical trial is estimated to be up to USD 2.4 million, such costs and expenses to be borne by BioLine.
