The failure of an Indemnitee to give any notice required by this Section shall
not affect any of such party’s rights under this Section or otherwise, except and to the extent that such failure is actually prejudicial to the rights or obligations of the Indemnitor.

 

(b)  If the Indemnitor shall not assume the defense of, or if after so assuming it shall fail to defend, any such claim or action, the Indemnitee may defend against any such claim or action in such manner as they may deem appropriate and the Indemnitees may settle such claim or litigation on such terms as they may deem appropriate but subject to the Indemnitor's approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that any such settlement shall be deemed approved by the Indemnitor if the Indemnitor fails to object thereto, by written notice to the Indemnitee, within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnitor's receipt
of a written summary of such settlement. The Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the amount of all expenses, legal and otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense and settlement of such claim or action.

	 
	 	6 	 
	

	 

(c)  If a non-appealable judgment is rendered against any Indemnitee in any action covered by the indemnification hereunder, or any lien attaches to any of the assets of any of the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall immediately upon such entry or attachment pay such judgment in full or discharge such lien unless, at the expense and direction of the Indemnitor, an appeal is taken under which the execution of the judgment or satisfaction of the lien is stayed. If and when a final judgment is rendered in any such action, the Indemnitor shall forthwith pay such judgment or discharge such lien before any Indemnitee is compelled to do so.

 

5.3.  Waiver. The failure of any Indemnitee to give any notice or to take any action hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the rights of such Indemnitee hereunder, except to the extent that Indemnitor is actually prejudiced by such failure.

 

5.4.  Limitation of Liability. 

 

(a)  Company’s Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s liability under Section 5 hereof shall be limited to the Purchase Price, together with accrued interest, expenses pursuant to Section 6.9 hereof and attorneys’ fees pursuant to Section 6.19 hereof; provided that no such liability limitation shall apply to the extent that the Buyer’s Losses were related to person or entity that is not a party to
this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer’s liability under this Section shall be limited to the difference between $4,000,000 and the gross amount of the Purchase Price paid to the Company (inclusive of all fees), together with attorneys’ fees pursuant to Section 6.19 hereof; provided that no such liability limitation shall apply to willful misconduct of the Buyer.

6.3.  Counterparts; Interpretation. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and this Agreement contains the sole and entire agreement among the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby. All Schedules hereto shall be deemed a part of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be altered
or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of all of the parties hereto. No ambiguity in any provision hereof shall be construed against a party by reason of the fact it was drafted by such party or its counsel. For purposes of this Agreement: “herein”, “hereby”, “hereunder”, “herewith”, “hereafter” and “hereinafter” refer to this Agreement in its entirety, and not to any particular subsection or paragraph. References to “including” means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or give any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

6.4.  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. The parties further agree that any action between them shall be heard exclusively in Hudson County, New Jersey, and expressly consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the Superior Court of New Jersey, sitting in Hudson County, New Jersey and the United States District Court of New Jersey, sitting in Newark, New Jersey, for the adjudication of any civil
action asserted pursuant to this paragraph. Each party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action in the forum selected hereby.

 

6.5.  Successors and Assigns; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, and successors; provided, however, that the Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder, in whole or in part.

 

6.6.  Partial Invalidity and Severability. All rights and restrictions contained herein may be exercised and shall be applicable and binding only to the extent that they do not violate any applicable laws and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary to render this Agreement legal, valid and enforceable. If any terms of this Agreement not essential to the commercial purpose of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it is the intention of the parties that the remaining terms hereof shall constitute their agreement with respect to the subject matter
 hereof and all such remaining terms shall remain in full force and effect. To the extent legally permissible, any illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement shall be replaced by a valid provision which will implement the commercial purpose of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision.

6.7.  Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party which is entitled to the benefit thereof, but only if such waiver is evidenced by a writing signed by such party. No failure on the part of a party hereto to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy created hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by any such party preclude any other future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
No waiver by any party hereto to any breach of or default in any term or condition of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of or assent to any succeeding breach of or default in the same or any other term or condition hereof.

IRREVOCABLE TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS

August 26, 2004

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company

6201 15th Avenue

Brooklyn, NY 11219

Attention: Legal Department

RE: ELBIT VISION SYSTEMS, LTD.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

1.  Reference is made to that certain Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Standby Equity Distribution Agreement”) dated as of March 30, 2004, and the Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note”) of even date herewith pursuant to which the Company shall issue to Cornell Capital Partners, LP (the “Investor”) ordinary shares of Elbit Vision Systems, Ltd. (the “Company”) as described in the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement and the Promissory Note. 

 

The Company has agreed to issue to the Investor up to 14,444,445 ordinary shares (the “Shares”) upon (i) an Event of Default of the Promissory Note or (ii) under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement.

 

This letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Transfer Agent”) (provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at such time) to do the following:

 

	1.  	The Transfer Agent shall promptly issue in accordance with paragraph 4 herein, such number of Additional Shares to the Investor as shall be set forth in each properly completed and duly executed notice by the Company (the “Notice”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I, delivered to the Transfer Agent by the Escrow Agent. Prior to the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the Shares, they shall bear the following legend:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.”

	 
	 	 1	 
	

	 

 

	2.	Upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering Shares, the Transfer Agent shall promptly issue such number of Shares to the Investor as are set forth in a Notice delivered to the Transfer Agent by the Escrow Agent in the form set forth in Exhibit II, together with confirmation of sale and a legal opinion by the Company’s counsel substantially in the form attached as Exhibit III hereto, in accordance with the instructions set forth in paragraph 4 below. In the event that the Shares shall be issued in physical form, they shall bear no legend.
	 	 
	3.	The Transfer Agent shall rely on the Notice delivered by the Escrow Agent and shall have no liability for relying on such instructions. Any Notice delivered hereunder shall constitute an irrevocable instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Notice in accordance with the terms of such Notice. Such Notice may be transmitted to the Transfer Agent by facsimile or any commercially reasonable method.
	 	 
	4.	Upon the Transfer Agent’s receipt of a Notice, the Transfer Agent shall use its best efforts, within three (3) Trading Days following the date of receipt of the Notice to: (A) in the event of a Notice for the issuance of Shares described in paragraph 1 herein, issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified in the Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Investor for the number of Shares to which the Investor is entitled as set forth in the Notice; or (B) in the event of a Notice of the issuance of Shares described in paragraph 2 herein credit such aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to which the Investor is entitled pursuant to the Notice, to the Investor’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian (“  
DWAC”) system provided the Investor causes its bank or broker to initiate the DWAC transaction. (“Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Nasdaq Market is open for customary trading). 
	 	 
	5.	The Company hereby confirms to the Transfer Agent and the Investor that no instructions other than as contemplated herein will be given to the Transfer Agent by the Company with respect to the Shares, until the Company and the Investor mutually provide the Transfer Agent instructions (the “Mutual Instructions”) that these Instructions have been terminated. The Company hereby agrees that it shall not replace the Transfer Agent, as the Company’s transfer agent during the term of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Investor. 
	 	 
	6.	The Company acknowledges that the Investor is relying on the representations and covenants made by the Company hereunder and are a material inducement to the Investor entering into the Promissory Note. The Transfer Agent shall have no liability to the Company for complying with the terms hereof. The Company further acknowledges that the Investor would not enter into the Promissory Note absent the Company’s representations and covenants hereunder. These instructions shall terminate upon the repayment to the Investor of all amounts due under the Promissory Note. Promptly upon such event, the Company and the Investor (or its counsel) shall jointly notify the Transfer Agent that these instructions have terminated.

	 
	 	 2	 
	

	 

 

	7. 	 	The Company but not the Transfer Agent, specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a party hereto of any provision hereof, the Investor will be irreparably damaged and that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy if these Transfer Agent instructions were not specifically enforced. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a party hereto, including, without limitation, the attempted termination of the agency relationship created by this instrument, the Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights or remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post any bond or other security, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of these Transfer Agent Instructions.

VIA FACSIMILE AND REGULAR MAIL

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company

6201 15th Avenue

Brooklyn, NY 11219

Attention:    Legal Department

RE:  ELBIT VISION SYSTEMS, LTD.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Elbit Vision Systems, Ltd. (the “Company”), in connection with the registration of ___________shares (the “Shares”) of its Ordinary Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC ”). We have not acted as your counsel. This opinion is given at the request and with the consent of the Company.

 

In rendering this opinion we have relied on the accuracy of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-2, as amended (the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company with the SEC on _________ ___, 2004. The Company filed the Registration Statement on behalf of certain selling shareholders (the “Selling Shareholders”). This opinion relates solely to the Selling Shareholders listed on Exhibit “A” hereto and number of Shares set forth opposite such Selling Shareholders’ names. The SEC declared the Registration Statement effective on __________ ___, 2004.

 

We understand that the Selling Shareholders acquired the Shares in a private offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Information regarding the Shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholders is contained under the heading “Selling Shareholders” in the Registration Statement, which information is incorporated herein by reference. This opinion relates to the issuance of the Shares to the Selling Shareholders and to the sale or transfer by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to the Registration Statement under the Federal laws of the United States of America. We do not express any opinion concerning any law of any state or other jurisdiction.

 

In rendering this opinion we have relied upon the accuracy of the foregoing statements.

 

 

	 
	 	 	 
	

	 

Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that American Stock Transfer & Trust Company may issue the Shares without legend or remove the restrictive legends currently contained on the Shares. This opinion relates solely to the number of Shares set forth opposite the Selling Shareholders listed on Exhibit “A” hereto.

 

This opinion is furnished to you specifically in connection with the issuance of the Shares and to the sale or transfer by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to the Registration Statement under the Federal laws of the United States of America, and is solely for your information and benefit. This letter may not be relied upon by you in any other connection, and it may not be relied upon by any other person or entity for any purpose without our prior written consent. This opinion may not be assigned, quoted or used without our prior written consent. The opinions set forth herein are rendered as of the date hereof and we will not supplement this opinion with respect to changes in the law or factual matters subsequent to the date hereof.

 

Very truly yours,

[SECURITIES LAW FIRM]
