third parties (including Sublicensees) the Confidential Information to the extent necessary for the exercise by it of its rights hereunder or in the fulfilment of its obligations hereunder, provided that the Company shall bind such personnel and
other third parties with a similar undertaking of confidentiality in writing. 

  

	7.2	In addition to and without derogating from the aforegoing, the Company undertakes not to make mention of the names of Yeda, the Inventors (excluding ****), the Institute or any scientists or other employees of the

disclose or be required to disclose such information to a third party, whether by order of court or by law or otherwise), or (iii) same is necessary for the purpose of stating, in any private placement memorandum or a public offering

a licensee of Yeda as aforesaid) in a private placement memorandum or a public registration statement shall be subject to Yeda’s consent, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably .

7.7 below. 

  

	7.5	Yeda shall maintain in confidence the reports received by Yeda from the Company pursuant to clauses 4.3.2 and 6.2 above and any information received by Yeda from the Company which has been designated by the Company in
writing as confidential, except and to the extent that: (i) any such information or data is in the public domain at the date of the signing hereof or becomes part of the public domain thereafter (other than through a violation by Yeda of this
obligation of confidentiality) or is released by the Company from this obligation of confidentiality by notice in writing; (ii) Yeda is required to disclose such information in order to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement (including in
connection with ****); or (iii) Yeda is required to disclose such information in fulfilment of any legal duty owed to any competent authority (the Company hereby acknowledging that it is aware that such competent authority may not be bound by
any confidentiality obligations and may disclose or be required to disclose such information to a third party, whether by order of court or by law or otherwise). For the removal of doubt, the provisions of this clause 7.5 shall not apply in respect
of any information (not being part of the Licensed Information) independently developed at the Institute without reference to the confidential information received from the Company. 


 

	7.6	For the removal of doubt, Yeda shall have the right to allow the scientists of the Institute to publish articles relating to the Licensed Information in scientific journals or posters or to give lectures or seminars to
third parties relating to the Licensed Information, on the condition that, to the extent that the information to be published or disclosed is Licensed Information which is not in the public domain, a draft copy of the said contemplated publication
or disclosure shall have been furnished to the Company at least **** before the making of any such publication or disclosure and the Company shall have failed to notify Yeda in writing, within **** from receipt of the said draft publication or
disclosure, of its opposition to the making of the contemplated publication or disclosure. Should the Company notify Yeda in writing within **** from the receipt of the draft contemplated publication or disclosure that it opposes the making of such
publication or disclosure because it includes material (which has been specified in said notice) in respect of which there are reasonable grounds (which have also been specified in said notice) requiring the postponement of such publication or
disclosure so as not adversely to affect the Company’s interests under the Licence because such information is patentable subject-matter for which patent protection pursuant to clause 5.1 above should be sought, then Yeda shall not permit such
publication or disclosure unless and until there shall first have been filed an appropriate patent application in respect of the material to be published or disclosed as aforesaid. The Company acknowledges that it is aware of the importance to the

8. NO ASSIGNMENT 
  

	8.1	The Company shall not be entitled to assign or encumber all or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or arising therefrom, unless it shall have received the prior written consent of Yeda to such
assignment or encumbrance, which consent, if given, ****. For the purposes of this clause 8, the merger of the Company with another entity (whether or not the Company is the surviving entity) and the sale of all or substantially all of the assets or
business of the Company to others shall be deemed to be an assignment, subject to the provisions of clause 8.2 below.

as aforesaid in clause 9.1 above, or shall be requested or obliged to pay to any person or entity any amount whatsoever as compensation for any Liabilities as aforesaid in clause 9.1 above, then the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless such
Indemnitees from and against any and all such Liabilities. Without limiting the generality of the aforegoing, the Company’s indemnification as aforesaid and the exclusion of liability in clause 9.1 above shall extend to product liability claims
and to damages, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses attributable to death, personal injury or property damage or to penalties imposed on account of the violation of any law, regulation or governmental requirement.


 Yeda shall, or shall procure that any of the Indemnitees shall notify the Company promptly in writing of any such claim; and
Yeda may, at its sole option, allow the Company, at the Company’s expense, to assume control over defending such claim, in which case it will provide the Company with reasonable assistance and any information reasonably required for defending
such a claim, at the Company’s expense; provided that if the Company shall assume control over the defence of such claim, no settlement, consent order, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of such action may be entered into
without the prior written consent of Yeda which shall not be withheld unreasonably. 
  

	9.3	 The Company shall at its own expense insure its liability pursuant to clause 9.2 above during the period beginning on the date of the signing of this
Agreement and continuing during the entire period that the Licence is in force in any country, plus an additional period of 7 (seven) years. Such insurance shall be in reasonable amounts and on reasonable terms in the circumstances, having regard,
in particular, to the nature of the Licensed Products, and shall be subscribed for from a reputable insurance company. The named insured under such insurances shall be the Company, the Inventors, Yeda and the Institute and the beneficiaries thereof
shall include also the respective employees, officers and directors of Yeda and the Institute. The policy or policies so issued shall include a “cross-liability” provision pursuant to which the insurance is deemed to be separate insurance
for each named insured (without right of subrogation as against any of the insured under the policy, or any of their representatives, employees, officers, directors or anyone in their name) and shall further provide that the insurer will be obliged
to notify each insured in writing at least 30 (thirty) days in advance of the expiry or cancellation of the policy or policies. The Company hereby undertakes to comply punctually with

all obligations imposed upon it under such policy or policies and in particular, without limiting the generality of the aforegoing, to pay in full and punctually all premiums and other payments

from the other party in respect of such breach, or (ii) the granting of a winding-up order in respect of the other party, or upon an order being granted against the other party for the appointment of a receiver, or if such other party passes a
resolution for its voluntary winding-up, or if a temporary or permanent liquidator or receiver is appointed in respect of such other party, or if a temporary or permanent attachment order is granted on such other party’s assets, or a
substantial portion thereof, or if such other party shall seek protection under any laws or regulations, the effect of which is to suspend or impair the rights of any or all of its creditors, or to impose a moratorium on such creditors, or if
anything analogous to any of the aforegoing in this clause 10.2(ii) above under the laws of any jurisdiction occurs in respect of such other party; provided that in the case that any such order or act is initiated by any third party, the right of
termination shall apply only if such order or act as aforesaid is not cancelled within 60 (sixty) days of the grant of such order or the performance of such act.
