13.          Indemnification.
 
(i) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and any affiliate of the Investor, including a transferee who is an affiliate of the Investor, and any person who controls the Investor or any affiliate of the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (collectively, “Investor/Affiliate”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which the Investor or Investor/Affiliates may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus, financial statements and schedules, and all other documents or information filed as or deemed to be a part thereof, at the time of the Closing, or the omission or alleged omission to state in any of them a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, or (b) in whole or in part any inaccuracy in the representations or warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, or any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder or under law, and will promptly reimburse each Investor and each Investor/Affiliate for any legal and other expenses as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Investor or such Investor/Affiliate in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable for amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Investor herein.
 
(ii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 13 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, the Investor or Investor/Affiliates will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section 13, promptly notify the Company in writing thereof, but the omission to notify the Company will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 13 to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure. In case any third party action is brought against the Investor or Investor/Affiliates and such party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from the Company, the Company will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party, and the Company and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that there may be a conflict of interest between the positions of the Company and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the Company, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to the Company of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the Company will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 13 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (a) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Company shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (b) the Company shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any action without its written consent. In no event shall the Company be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the Company shall have approved in writing the terms of such settlement; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(iii) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 13 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs (i) or (ii) of this Section 13 in respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and such indemnified party from the transactions contemplated hereby or (b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but the relative fault of the Company and the indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement and/or the Registration Statement that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (ii) of this Section 13, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in paragraph (ii) of this Section 13 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this paragraph (iii); provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under paragraph (ii) for purposes of indemnification.
 
14. The Company agrees, from and after the Closing Date, to use its best efforts to maintain (i) a depositary for the ADSs, (ii) the listing of ADSs for trading on a National Securities Exchange (as defined in the Exchange Act), (iii) the listing of the Ordinary Shares for trading on the TASE and (iv) a transfer agent and, if necessary under the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company, a registrar for the Ordinary Shares.  The Company shall comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules and regulations of the National Securities Exchange(s) on which the ADSs are listed for trading and the TASE.  Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the ADSs on the National Securities Exchange(s) on which the ADSs are listed for trading or the Ordinary Shares on the TASE.

15. Each of the Company and each Investor has determined that the Investors will not (individually or collectively) be an “affiliate” (as such term is defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) of the Company following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company agrees not to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing.
 
16. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Offered Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Capital Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
 
17. Notwithstanding any investigation made by any party to this Agreement, all covenants and agreements made by the Company and the Investor herein shall survive the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to the Investor of the Offered Securities being purchased and the payment therefor.
 
18. Each of the Company and the Investor will bear its own costs and expenses (including legal and accounting fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that the Company will reimburse the Investor for its fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, not to exceed $50,000.
 
19. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be mailed (A) if within the United States by first-class registered or certified airmail, or nationally recognized overnight express courier, postage prepaid, or by facsimile, or (B) if delivered from outside the United States, by International Federal Express or facsimile, and shall be deemed given (i) if delivered by first-class registered or certified domestic mail, three business days after so mailed, (ii) if delivered by a nationally recognized overnight carrier, one business day after so mailed, (iii) if delivered by International Federal Express, two business days after so mailed, or (iv) if delivered by facsimile, upon electronic confirmation of receipt and shall be delivered as addressed as follows:

Annex A
 
Company Representations and Warranties
 
The Company hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Investor as of the date hereof and as of the Closing as follows:
 
1. Incorporation and Good Standing of the Company and Its Subsidiaries.  The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Israel as of the date hereof, and is duly qualified to do business and as in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of business requires such qualification, except where the failure to qualify, singularly or in the aggregate, would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the business, properties, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Company taken as a whole, or in its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”).  All direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company (“Subsidiaries”) are duly organized and in good standing under the laws of the place of organization or incorporation, and each Subsidiary is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of business requires such qualification, except where the failure to qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the assets, business or operations of the Company taken as a whole. The Company’s ownership and control of each Subsidiary is as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.  Except as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Company has all requisite corporate power and authority, and has all necessary authorizations, approvals, orders, licenses, certificates and permits of and from all governmental regulatory officials and bodies that it needs as of the date hereof to conduct its business purpose as described in the Prospectus, except where the failure to have any such authorization, approval, order, license, certificate or permit would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
2. Filing of Registration Statement.  The Company has prepared and filed with the Commission a shelf registration statement, and an amendment or amendments thereto, on Form F-3 (File No. 333-205700), including any related prospectus or prospectuses, for the registration of the Offered Securities under the Securities Act, which registration statement and amendment or amendments have been prepared by the Company in all material respects in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act (the “Regulations”) and will contain all material statements that are required to be stated therein in accordance with the Securities Act and the Regulations. The Offered Securities are being issued pursuant to the Registration Statement and the issuance of the Offered Securities will be registered by the Company pursuant to the Securities Act.  The Registration Statement was declared effective by the Commission on October 16, 2015.  Neither the Commission nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any state or other regulatory authority has issued any order preventing or suspending the use of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or has instituted or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened to institute, any proceedings with respect to such an order. The Company has complied with each request (if any) from the Commission, or other authority, for additional information.  Neither the Registration Statement nor any amendment thereto, at each time of effectiveness, as of the date of this Agreement, contained, contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.  Since January 1, 2016, the Company has timely made all filings with the Commission required under the Exchange Act.

3. Authorized Capital; Options, etc.  All issued and outstanding securities of the Company issued prior to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable; the holders thereof have no rights of rescission with respect thereto, and are not subject to personal liability by reason of being such holders; and none of such securities were issued in violation of the preemptive rights of any holders of any security of the Company or similar contractual rights granted by the Company. The authorized Ordinary Shares and the ADSs representing Ordinary Shares conform in all material respects to all statements relating thereto contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The offers and sales of the outstanding Ordinary Shares and the ADSs representing Ordinary Shares were at all relevant times either registered under the Securities Act and the applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws or, based in part on the representations and warranties of the purchasers of such shares, exempt from such registration requirements. Except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, no holders of any securities of the Company or any rights exercisable for or convertible or exchangeable into securities of the Company have the right to require the Company to register any such securities of the Company under the Securities Act or to include any such securities in a registration statement to be filed by the Company.
 
4. Authorization of the Offered Securities.  The Offered Securities and Ordinary Shares represented thereby have been duly authorized for issuance and sale pursuant to this Agreement and, when issued and delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement and, with respect to the Warrant ADSs, upon payment of the exercise price pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free and clear of all liens imposed by the Company; the holders thereof are not and will not be subject to personal liability by reason of being such holders; except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Offered Securities are not and will not be subject to the preemptive rights of any holders of any security of the Company or similar contractual rights granted by the Company; and all corporate action required to be taken for the authorization, issuance and sale of the Offered Securities has been duly and validly taken. The Offered Securities conform in all material respects to all statements with respect thereto contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
 
A - 2

 
5. Validity and Binding Effect of the Agreements.  The Company has all corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out the provisions and conditions hereof, and all consents, authorizations, approvals and orders required in connection therewith have been obtained. No consent, authorization or order of, and no filing with, any court, government agency or other body is required for the valid issuance, sale and delivery of the Offered Securities and the consummation of the transactions and agreements contemplated by this Agreement and as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, except with respect to applicable Israeli securities laws, federal and state securities laws and the rules and regulations of FINRA.  This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by the Company, and, when executed and delivered, will constitute the valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally; (ii) as enforceability of any indemnification or contribution provision may be limited under the federal and state securities laws; (iii) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought; (iv) as such enforceability may be limited by an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; and (v) as such enforceability may be limited by the effects of the possible judicial application of foreign laws or foreign governmental or judicial action affecting creditors’ rights.  The limitations set forth in Section 1(j) of the Warrants limiting the ability of the Investors to exercise the Warrants above the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” (as defined therein) are effective under applicable law so as to prevent the Investors from being deemed to be the beneficial holder of any underlying securities that would be in excess of the applicable Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
 
6. No Defaults; Violations.  No material default exists in the due performance and observance of any term, covenant or condition of any material license, contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, note, loan or credit agreement, or any other agreement or instrument evidencing an obligation for borrowed money, or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company may be bound or to which any of the properties or assets of the Company is subject, and, to the Company’s knowledge, no event has occurred that, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder, except for any such default that would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.
