The Shares have been acquired for investment and may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of except in compliance with the Securities Act.”

5. Registration Rights.

5.1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the term (A) “Registrable Securities” means (i) the Ordinary Shares of the Company issued hereunder (the “Shares”); and (ii) any securities issued or issuable with respect to shares acquired or exercised by the Purchasers by way of bonus shares, share splits or share conversions on account of the Shares; the term “Securities Act” means the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended; the term “registration” means registration under the Securities Act; and the term “Commission” means the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; and (B) “Underwritten Offering” means a registration in connection with which securities are sold to an underwriter for re-offering to the public pursuant to an effective Registration Statement.

5.2. Registrable Securities. As to any particular Registrable Securities, such securities will cease to be Registrable Securities when they have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and/or any other applicable securities law, although they will again become Registrable Securities if later deregistered.



5.3. Demand Registration. Immediately after the Closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser(s) holding a majority of the Shares may on one instance request that BVR shall file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement’) registering the Registrable Securities and will endeavor to have such Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter. BVR agrees to use its best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective for a period of at least one hundred and eighty (180) days following the date on which the Registration Statement is initially declared effective or such shorter period as will terminate when all of the shares covered by the Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. BVR further agrees, if necessary, to supplement or amend the Registration Statement, if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by BVR for such Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations there under for shelf registration.

  No Purchaser may participate in any Underwritten Offering hereunder unless such Purchaser (i) agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting agreements entered into in connection therewith and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such agreements.

5.4. Right to Piggyback. Whenever BVR proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to a registration primarily for sales of shares or options to employees of BVR), and the registration form to be used is suitable for the registration of the Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”) (it being understood that Form S-8 and Form F-4 may not be used for such purposes), BVR will give written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to the priority provisions of Section 5.5 below, will include in such registration all the Registrable Securities with respect to which BVR has received written requests for inclusions therein within 30 days after BVR gives such notice. Such notice shall be delivered to the holders of Registrable Securities at least thirty (30) days prior to the initial filing of a Registration Statement with the Commission.



5.5. Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering of BVR’ Securities (“BVR’ Securities”) and the managing underwriters advise BVR in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting such underwriters’ ability to effect an orderly distribution of such securities, BVR will include in such registration: (i) BVR’ Securities; (ii) the number of Registrable Securities and unregistered securities held by other shareholders of BVR (“Unregistered Securities”) requested to be included that, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold prorata, among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities or Unregistered Securities then owned by each such holder.

5.6. Registration Procedures. Whenever the holders of Registrable Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, BVR will use its best efforts to effect the registration with the proper authorities in the United States and Israel and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and to list such shares on the stock exchange on which BVR’ shares are then trading. In connection therewith, BVR will make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, and any attorney, accountant, or any other agent retained by such seller, all pertinent financial and other records, other pertinent corporate documents of BVR, and cause BVR’ respective officers, directors, and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by such seller, attorney, accountant, or agent in connection with such Registration Statement.

5.7 Registration Expenses. BVR shall be responsible for all registration expenses incurred in connection with the transactions described in Sections 5.3 and 5.4. Registration expenses include all expenses incident to BVR’ performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including without limitation expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of a prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, all underwriters’ discounts and commissions in respect of the sale of Registrable Securities shall be paid by the sellers, pro rata in accordance with the number of shares sold in the offering, and the sellers shall bear the expense of their legal counsel, if separate from BVR’ legal counsel.



5.8 Indemnity

5.8.1 BVR Indemnity. BVR hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers, and their directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) (within the meaning of section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person which shall be caused by any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities, including any amendment or supplement thereto, or shall be caused by any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses shall be caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to BVR by the Purchasers or on the Purchaser’s behalf for use therein.
