  1. The parties understand and agree that the Purchase Price has been determined exclusive of VAT, and believe as of the date hereof that any applicable VAT rate would be 0%. If in the reasonable opinion of the Company's counsel the VAT rate is not 0%, then Purchaser shall be entitled to file a request pursuant to Section 20 of Israeli Value Added Tax Law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (the "VAT Request"). At Purchaser's request and expense, the Company shall cooperate with Purchaser in preparing and filing the VAT Request.

    26

    payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Purchaser, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Seller Parties in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by the Purchaser. If, at or prior to the Closing, the Company delivers to the Purchaser a certificate from the Israeli Tax Authority evidencing an exemption from withholding of Taxes, which shall be applicable, valid and in effect as of the Closing, the Purchaser shall honor such withholding tax exemption. The Company has presented to Purchaser, and Purchaser acknowledges receipt of, a certificate from the Israeli Tax Authority evidencing an exemption from withholding of Taxes, which is applicable, valid and in effect, and as such, the Purchaser shall honor such withholding tax exemption.

  2. Withholding Under Other Laws. Should a withholding tax be levied by virtue of a double tax treaty or a source country's Law, the parties will undertake reasonable efforts and coordinate in advance of any payment in order to benefit from any tax treaty provision providing a withholding tax exemption or a reduction of the applicable withholding tax rate; provided that under no circumstance shall Purchaser be entitled to delay any payment under this Agreement or withhold from or reduce all or any portion of any payment under this Agreement as a result of the provisions of this Section 2.10(b), and the Seller Parties (and any of the stockholders of the Seller Parties) shall not be required to incur or suffer any financial detriment or loss in order to comply with the provisions of this Section 2.10(b).

2.11    Alternative Arrangements. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any agreement or certificate executed and delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby to the contrary, neither this Agreement nor any such agreement or certificate shall constitute an agreement to assign any Contract, Permit or any claim or right or

27

any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a default thereof. If such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would affect the rights thereunder so that Purchaser would not receive all such rights, the Seller Parties shall, at the expense of the Purchaser, use commercially reasonable efforts to effect alternative arrangements in the form of a license, sublease, or operating agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and the Seller Parties until such time as such consent or approval has been obtained that results in Purchaser receiving substantially all of the benefits under and bearing all the ordinary course costs, liabilities and other obligations with respect to any such Contract or Permit. Upon obtaining the requisite third party consent thereto, each such non-assignable Contract or Permit shall be transferred and assigned to Purchaser hereunder.

  2. The obligations of the Seller Parties pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall remain in effect for a period of five years from the Closing.
  3. If any of the Seller Parties or any Affiliate thereof is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings,

    63

    subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process, but excluding any Action to enforce the rights of the Seller Parties under this Agreement or any of the other documents, agreements, Contracts or certificates executed or delivered in accordance with the term hereof or otherwise contemplated hereby) or is required by operation of law to disclose any Confidential Information, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with prompt written notice of such request or requirement, which notice shall, if practicable, be at least 72 hours prior to making such disclosure, so that the Purchaser may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of such a waiver, any Seller Party determines, upon the advice of counsel, that such Seller Party is legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information, then such Seller Party may disclose that portion of the Confidential Information which such counsel advises is legally required to be disclosed, provided that such Seller Party uses its reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, whereupon such disclosure shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

  4. In the event of a breach of any provision of this Section 7.1, the Purchaser may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any violation of such provisions.

7.2    No Public Announcement. Each of the parties hereto shall consult with the other parties before issuing any press releases or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and each of the parties shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the express written consent of the other parties, unless the release of such information is required by

applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be entitled to make a public announcement regarding the transactions contemplated hereby if the Purchaser deems it reasonably necessary or appropriate to fulfill its obligations as a public company; provided, however, that with respect to the Purchaser's first public announcement of this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby, the Purchaser shall provide the Company with a copy of such announcement at least 24 hours prior to the announcement being publicized and shall in good faith consider any proposed changes thereto requested by the Company.

The Seller Parties shall take all actions reasonably necessary or required to be taken for the procurement, maintenance, enforcement and defense of the Patent Rights. Prior to and following the Closing, in the event that the parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that an item set forth on the Company Disclosure Schedules as an Acquired Asset is mistakenly included as such, and instead should have been included as an Acquired Asset under the Vertebroplasty Purchase Agreement, each party hereto agrees to cooperate fully with the other parties to correct such error.

    2. directly or indirectly, solicit, attempt to solicit, interfere, or attempt to interfere with the Purchaser's relationship with its customers or potential customers, on behalf of any person or entity engaged in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, or sale of a Competing Product; or

This shall not preclude the granting of any other appropriate relief including, without limitation, money damages against a Seller Party for breach of this Section 7.4.
  6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.4, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.4 shall not apply to any third party that acquires by merger, acquisition of stock or assets, all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Seller Parties if such third party (i) is not otherwise Affiliated with any Seller Party prior to the consummation of such transaction and (ii) is engaged in the Business prior to entering into any Contract with respect to such acquisition; provided that such third party would not otherwise be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.4 but for the consummation of such acquisition.

7.5    HSR Act.

  1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Seller Parties and the Purchaser shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to make all necessary filings required under the HSR Act (including, but not limited to, the Notification and Report Form

In addition, except as prohibited by Law, the Company shall (i) promptly notify the Purchaser of any communication to the Company from any Governmental Entity relating to the approval or disapproval of the transactions contemplated hereby; and (ii) not participate in any meetings or substantive discussions with any

    CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.

    as prohibited by Law, the Company shall, at the Purchaser's request, take all actions that are reasonably necessary to comply with any Government Conditions; provided, however, that in the event that the Acquired Assets are to be sold, divested, out-licensed or otherwise disposed of in a transaction other than the Closing, the Seller Parties shall not be obligated to take any such action unless as a condition to such transaction the third party involved therein is required to execute and deliver the Outside Field License Agreement or in lieu thereof, the Seller Parties shall otherwise be compensated therefor or otherwise receive the benefit of their bargain pursuant thereto.

  5.

advance notice to the Seller Parties and (b) to the extent necessary to comply with Section 7.5 hereof (in which case Purchaser shall remain liable for all obligations of Purchaser hereunder, including the performance or nonperformance of any actions or omissions of such assignee).

Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party.

11.11    Severability.

and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement and (iv) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.
