Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, and (iii) with respect to the indemnification provisions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, as limited by public policy.
 
(b) General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
 
(c) No Public Sale or Distribution. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Purchaser does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Securities.
 
-13-

 
(d) Accredited Investor Status. If Purchaser is purchasing Securities pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of United States federal securities laws provided by Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.
 
(e) Regulation S. If Purchaser is purchasing Securities pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of United States federal securities laws provided by Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, such Purchaser:
 
(i) is not a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S) and is not acquiring the Securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. person; and
 
(ii) agrees to resell such Securities only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration; and agrees not to engage in hedging transactions with regard to such Securities unless in compliance with the Securities Act.
 
(f) Reliance on Exemptions. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein and on the signature page hereto in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire the Securities.
 
(g) Information; Confidentiality. Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all publicly available materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and such other publicly available materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities as have been requested by such Purchaser. The Purchaser acknowledges and understands that the fact that the Company is seeking to effect the private placement of the Securities is itself material, non-public information, and accordingly, the Purchaser agrees not to engage in disclosure of such information or use of such information by the Purchaser or anyone receiving such information from the Purchaser in connection with the purchase, sale or trade of the Company’s securities (other than use by the Purchaser in acquiring the Securities), or any hedging, derivative or similar transactions or activities involving the Company’s securities. Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Purchaser or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. Such Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. Such Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.
 
-14-

 
(h) No Governmental Review. Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.
 
(i) Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters, including investing in biotechnology companies, so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
 
(j) Sales; Short Selling. From and after the date that the Purchaser receives any information about the existence of the Offering, and through the Closing Date, the Purchaser has not and shall not, directly or indirectly, sell Ordinary Shares in any open Trading Market or elsewhere, and has not and shall not directly or indirectly, through related parties, affiliates or otherwise sell “short” or “short against the box” (as those terms are generally understood) any equity security of the Company.
 
(k) Information Regarding Purchaser. Purchaser has provided the Company with true, complete, and correct information regarding all applicable items set forth on the signature page to this Agreement.
 
The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Purchaser does not make or has not made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Section 3.2.
 
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
 
4.1 Transfer Restrictions. The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with U.S. state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) to the Company, or (iii) to an Affiliate of a Purchaser, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
 
-15-

 
4.2 Furnishing of Information. During the Effectiveness Period (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company covenants to use its commercially reasonable efforts to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. During the Effectiveness Period, the Company further covenants to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such further action as any Purchaser may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
 
4.3 Integration. 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 Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.
 
4.4 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, by 8:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the Closing Date, issue a press release to be disseminated in the public domain describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (i) as required by federal securities law or the Commission in connection with the registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under subclause (i) or (ii).
 
4.5 Shareholders Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or any other Person that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any shareholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, in each case solely by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.
 
4.6 Reservation of Ordinary Shares. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of Ordinary Shares for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement.
 
4.7 Listing of Ordinary Shares; ADR Facility. The Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of ADRs representing Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have ADRs representing Ordinary Shares traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application the Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Purchasers to cause the Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of ADRs representing its Ordinary Shares on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Purchasers acknowledge that the Shares will not be eligible for deposit into the American Depositary Receipt trading facility maintained by the Company at The Bank of New York until the Effective Date.
 
-16-

 
4.8 Subsequent Financings Prior to Effective Date. From the date hereof until 90 days after the Effective Date, other than as contemplated by this Agreement, neither the Company nor either of the Subsidiaries shall issue or sell any Ordinary Shares, excluding the issuance of securities issued upon the exercise of currently outstanding options and warrants.
 
4.9 Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
 
4.10 Delivery of ADRs. On the Effective Date, the Company shall deliver the Shares to The Bank of New York, and shall cause The Bank of New York to immediately deliver to each Purchaser ADRs representing a number of Shares equal to such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount divided by the Per Share Purchase Price, registered in the name of such Purchaser.
 
ARTICLE V.
MISCELLANEOUS
 
5.1 Fees and Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 3.1(p) and in the Placement Agent Agreement, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all stamp and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the sale of the Securities.
 
5.2 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, the Disclosure Documents and the Placement Agent Agreement, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.
 
-17-

 
5.4 Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified on the signature pages attached hereto prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto.
 
5.5 Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and each Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
 
5.6 Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
 
5.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser. Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the “Purchasers.”
 
5.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.1.
 
5.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state or federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, New York, exclusive of all other jurisdictions, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of a Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
 
-18-

 
5.10 Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Shares.
 
5.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
 
5.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
 
5.13 Replacement of Shares. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested.
 
5.14 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.

Form of Opinion of Kantor & Co.

1. The Company is a corporation, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Israel, and has the corporate power and authority to carry on its business and to own, lease and operate its properties and assets as described in the Disclosure Documents. Except for the Subsidiaries, the Company does not have any subsidiaries and does not own more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding capital stock of or control any other business entity.
 
2. The Company has the corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and to issue the Shares. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company.
 
3. The Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company.
 
4. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares, do not and will not result in a violation of the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Organization or bylaws.
 
5. The Company has the authorized capitalization as set forth in the Disclosure Documents. The issuance of the Shares by the Company in accordance with the Agreement is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. When so issued, when certificates representing such Shares have been duly executed, countersigned, registered and delivered in accordance with the Agreement, upon payment of the consideration therefor provided therein, the Shares will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free of any liens or encumbrances, or preemptive or similar rights, contained in the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Organization or bylaws or any other instrument known to us and will conform to the description thereof contained in the Disclosure Documents.
 
Form of Opinion of Alston & Bird LLP
 
1. The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all U.S. jurisdictions in which the character of the property owned or leased or the nature of the business transacted by it makes qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not have or reasonably be expected to result in Material Adverse Effect.
 
2. The Subsidiaries are corporations, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, are duly qualified to do business and are in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the character of the property owned or leased or the nature of the business transacted by them makes qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not have or reasonably be expected to result in Material Adverse Effect, and has the corporate power and authority to carry on their business and to own, lease and operate their properties and assets as described in the Disclosure Documents.
 

 
3. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares, do not and will not (i) result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Subsidiaries; (ii) conflict with, or constitute a material default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, require a consent under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any Material Agreement; (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule or regulation of the United States or the State of New York; or (iv) to our knowledge, violate any judgment, order or decree of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties or assets.
 
4. Except for the registration of the Securities under the Securities Act and such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under applicable state securities laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing or registration with, any court, governmental agency or governmental body is required for the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby.
 
5.  To our knowledge, no person or entity has the right to require registration of Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Company because of the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents or otherwise, except for persons and entities who have expressly waived such right or who have been given proper notice and have failed to exercise such right within the time or times required under the terms and conditions of such right.
 
6. The statements in the Disclosure Documents (other than the financial statements and related schedules and other financial and statistical data contained therein, as to which we express no opinion) under the headings "Risk Factors," "Business—Intellectual Property and Patents," "Business—Government and Industry Regulation," and "Business—Material Contracts" to the extent that they constitute summaries of matters of law or regulation or legal conclusions, have been reviewed by us and fairly summarize the matters described therein in all material respects.
 
7. To our knowledge and other than as set forth in the Disclosure Documents, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company is a party or of which any property or asset of the Company is the subject which, singularly or in the aggregate, if determined adversely to the Company, would prevent or adversely affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents; and, to our knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or threatened by others.
 

 
Alston & Bird to also confirm:

We have reviewed certain corporate records and other documents of the Company and its subsidiaries and have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company, its subsidiaries, your representatives, your counsel and the Company’s independent public accountants at which the contents of the Transaction Documents and related matters were discussed. Because of the inherent limitations in the independent verification of factual matters and because of the inherent limitations involved in the preparation of registration statements under the Securities Act, we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for, and make no representation that we have independently verified, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the information and statements contained in the Transaction Documents. We have no reason to believe that on the date hereof, the Transaction Documents contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Transaction Documents on the date hereof included or includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (in each case, other than the financial statements and other financial information contained therein, as to which we express no opinion).



Schedule 3.1(e)

·
As of September 30, 2007, there are 55,516,243 Ordinary Shares that may be issued in the future subject to the exercise of all options and warrants (at exercise prices per Ordinary Share of $0.106 to $2.110) outstanding.

·
At September 30, 2007, the remaining number of options to purchase Ordinary Shares available for future grants under the 2001 Share Option Plan is 4,917,756.

·
In March 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the grant to the Chairman and to a non-executive director, of options to purchase 9,898,719 and 750,000 ordinary shares, respectively. All of such options are subject to vesting of which one third is based on service period, and the remainder is based on achievement of certain milestones linked to the Company’s valuation on the public markets. These grants are subject to shareholder approval. As of September 30, 2007, the Company did not seek shareholder approval, so the options had not been granted.

·
In addition, the Company may issue additional Ordinary Shares for the potential settlement in cash or Ordinary Shares, at the Company's sole discretion, of certain potential milestones related to the Company's in-licensed products:
 
 
·
In August 2005, the Company entered into a license agreement with VivoQuest Inc. (“VivoQuest”) pursuant to which it acquired exclusive worldwide rights to VivoQuest's intellectual property and technology. The license covers a proprietary compound library, including VivoQuest's lead HCV compounds, that was developed through the use of Diversity Oriented Synthesis, or DOS, technology. The terms of the license agreement include an initial upfront license fee of approximately $941,000 that was paid in the Company's Ordinary Shares. The license agreement also provides for additional milestone payments triggered by certain regulatory and sales targets. These milestone payments total $34.6 million, $25.0 million of which will be due upon or following regulatory approval or actual product sales, and are payable in cash or Ordinary Shares at the Company's election. In addition, the license agreement requires that the Company make royalty payments on product sales. The actual number of Ordinary Shares that may be issued in the future at the Company's election is dependent upon the actual price of the Ordinary Shares on settlement date. Currently, as no milestones have been met and no milestone payments are payable, the actual number of Ordinary Shares to be issued, if at all, cannot be ascertained at this time.

 
·
In addition, in January 2007, XTL Development, Inc. (“XTL Development”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, of the Company, signed an agreement with DOV Pharmaceutical, Inc. (hereinafter “DOV”) to in-license the worldwide rights for Bicifadine, a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (hereinafter the “DOV Transaction”). XTL Development intends to develop Bicifadine for the treatment of neuropathic pain - a chronic condition resulting from damage to peripheral nerves. In accordance with the terms of the license agreement, XTL Development made an initial up-front payment of $7.5 million in cash. In addition, XTL Development will make milestone payments of up to $126.5 million, in cash and/or Ordinary Shares of the Company over the life of the license, of which up to $115 million will be due upon or after regulatory approval of the product and the remaining $11.5 million will be due prior to regulatory approval of the product. XTL Development is also obligated to pay royalties to DOV on net sales of the product to DOV. The actual number of Ordinary Shares that may be issued in the future at the Company's election is dependent upon the actual price of the Ordinary Shares on settlement date. Currently, as no milestones have been met and no milestone payments are payable, the actual number of Ordinary Shares to be issued, if at all, cannot be ascertained at this time.
 

 
·
Also, the Company may issue Ordinary Shares for the potential settlement in cash or in Ordinary Shares, at the Company's sole discretion, of the transaction advisory fee in the form of the Stock Appreciation Rights that were issued to the intermediary in the transaction with DOV Pharmaceutical, Inc.:
 
 
·
In January 2007, XTL Development committed to pay a transaction advisory fee to third party intermediaries in regards to the DOV Transaction. The transaction advisory fee was structured in the form of Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) in the amount equivalent to (i) 3% of the Company's fully diluted Ordinary Shares at the close of the transaction (representing 8,299,723 Ordinary Shares), vesting one year after the close of the transaction, and (ii) 7% of the Company's fully diluted Ordinary Shares at the close of the transaction (representing 19,366,019 Ordinary Shares), vesting following successful Phase III clinical trial results for Bicifadine or the acquisition of the Company. Payment of the SARs by XTL Development can be satisfied, at the Company's discretion, in cash and/or by issuance of the Company's registered Ordinary Shares. Currently, as the amount payable under the SAR is unknown (as this amount is based on the calculation of the stock appreciation on the date of exercise), the fact whether Ordinary Shares will be issued and the amounts that may be issued cannot be ascertained at this time.

Schedule 3.1(v)

·
On August 28, 2007, the Company announced the receipt on August 23, 2007, of a NASDAQ Staff Deficiency Letter indicating that, according to the Company's financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company no longer complied with the minimum $10 million shareholders' equity requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Global Market as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(3). The Company was asked to respond.

·
On September 26, 2007, the Company announced that on September 24, 2007, the Company received a NASDAQ Staff Determination indicating that the Company failed to comply with the minimum $10 million shareholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Global Market as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(3), and that its ADRs are, therefore, subject to delisting from the NASDAQ Global Market.

·
On September 25, 2007, the Company requested a hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel to review the Staff Determination. A hearing request will stay the suspension of the Company's ADRs from the NASDAQ Global Market pending the Panel's decision. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing. If the Panel does not grant the Company’s request for continued listing, the Company has the option to transfer its ADR listing to the NASDAQ Capital Market, previously called the NASDAQ SmallCap Market.
