The Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs have been duly authorized for issuance and sale and, when issued and delivered by BioLine pursuant to this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable and, except as set forth in BioLine’s reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents filed by BioLine prior to the date hereof under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (“SEC Filings”), will be free and clear of all liens, restrictions (other than restrictions under this Agreement and under applicable securities laws) encumbrances, preemptive rights and other claims.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by BioLine and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of BioLine, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent enforceability may be limited by the effect of applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and the effect of general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

The SEC Filings (after giving effect to any amendments or supplements thereto), (i) were or will be filed on a timely basis, (ii) at the time filed, complied, or will comply when filed, as of each respective filing date as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to such SEC Filings and (iii) did not or will not at the time they were or are filed contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated in such SEC Filings or necessary in order to make the statements in such SEC Filings, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in any material respect. BioLine shall, at all times, use its best efforts to comply with (a) all reporting obligations under securities and exchange laws and regulations and (b) Nasdaq rules to maintain the full listing/trading on Nasdaq. In addition, BioLine shall, at all times, comply with the applicable securities laws relating to filing reports or making public current information to the extent required from time to time to enable Biokine to sell its securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. BioLine shall provide written notice as soon as they become aware of any non-compliance with Nasdaq rules which may lead to cessation of trading, and in such case, as well as in a case of any suspension of trading on Nasdaq or notice thereof from Nasdaq, Section 2.3.2 shall not apply.

6.7          Assignment.  Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party.

Any assignment or attempted assignment in violation of the terms of this Section 6.6 shall be void and of no legal effect.

 

6.8          Severability.  If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, the provision shall be considered severed from this Agreement and shall not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The Parties shall make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.

For the avoidance of doubt, exemption certificate with respect to Services and Assets ("Shirutim veNechasim") shall be deemed sufficient for making the Payments without withholding. Except as provided in this Section 6.10, each party shall bear and pay its own taxes related to the transactions under this Agreement and/or the Amendment Agreement.

 

6.11        Paying Agent. Prior to the making of any of the Payments, Biokine may (but is not obliged to) instruct that any of the Payments will be delivered to, and retained by, a paying agent, the identity of which will be agreed in good faith by the parties  (the "Paying Agent"), for the benefit of Biokine, for a period of 180 days or an earlier date instructed by Biokine (the “Withholding Drop Date”), during which time no tax withholding shall be made (by either BioLine or the Paying Agent) and during which time Biokine may obtain a withholding certificate from the ITA.

6.12        Expenses.  All fees, costs and expenses of either Party incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including fees and expenses of financial advisors, financial sponsors, legal counsel and other advisors, shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses.

Except as provided herein, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

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 Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel. Each Party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

10

	5.4.2

	6.3	
Unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Lender, immediately upon each due date for effecting any interest payment under or pursuant to this Loan Agreement and the Security Documents to which the Borrower is or is to be party, or upon actually paying any interest in advance of the due date for any reason, the Borrower shall report such payment to the relevant Israeli tax authorities, on behalf of the Lender, pay in full the value added tax liability arising in accordance with Section 6D of the Israeli Value Added Tax Regulations 5736-1976 and the Israeli Value Added Tax Law 5735-1975, and shall provide the Lender with documentation evidencing such payment, provided, however, that commencing upon the Lender’s request and continuing afterward until otherwise notified by the Lender, the Borrower shall pay in full any applicable value added tax directly to Lender (or such agent of the Lender as the Lender may direct in writing) against delivery of a valid tax invoice.
