Anavid has delivered to TopSpin details of the Born Free Situation and copies of correspondence between the Company and Born Free. TopSpin hereby confirms (and this will be deemed a representation and warranty delivered by TopSpin) that it is aware of the foregoing and of the Born Free Situation. If TopSpin shall reach any settlement with Born Free and/or the mold supplier, including for payment of any compensation or other benefit to Born Free and/or the mold supplier, then this will be at the expense of TopSpin and/or at the expense of the Company, but not Anavid or Ahzakot. Claims by Born Free against the Company and/or Anavid in respect of matters that do not relate to the manufacture and sale of bottle teats and valves and are therefore outside the ordinary course of business — such as the manufacture and sale of dies and other such circumstances — are not included in the Born Free Situation (in this clause: “Extraordinary Matters”). Resolution of Extraordinary Matters shall be by means of negotiations between TopSpin and Born Free, with any outcome that would involve payment (including, without limitation, payment in kind, set off, waiver of amounts due to the Company and other similar arrangement) being made to Born Free and/or the mold supplier in excess of 180,000 Euros being subject to Anavid’s prior written approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, prior to Closing. If any payment is made to Born Free in respect of Extraordinary Matters prior to or after the Closing, then this shall be made by the Company, by such means as it may see fit (including all other forms of equity investments, shareholders loans and other types of personal liability), but such payments (i.e. any payments up to 180,000 Euros and, in addition, any payments in excess of 180,000 for which Anavid provided its prior consent) shall be deducted in full from amounts due to Anavid under Sections 11.5 — 11.7 below. If Born Free decides, prior to Closing, to terminate its relations with the Company, at no fault of TopSpin, then either Party may, within 15 days of becoming aware of such termination, cancel this Agreement, with neither Party having any claim against the other in this respect (but without releasing the parties from liability for a breach of this Agreement prior to the date of such termination). Without derogating from the above provisions in relation to Extraordinary Matters, the Parties agree that TopSpin shall have no claim, for indemnification or otherwise, against Anavid and/or Ahzakot in relation to the Born Free Situation, and shall not otherwise be entitled in connection with the Born Free Situation to reduce any payment under this Agreement.

Subject to the receipt of all necessary consents, approvals or authorizations from any Authority and any other Person, TopSpin hereby undertakes to procure the relocation of the Company’s existing factory from Kibbutz Anavim within 3 (three) years following the Closing Date (the “Relocation”).

  11.3.  
Share Issuances to Existing Shareholders. For so as long Ahzakot holds the Warrant or Warrant Shares, the Company shall not, and TopSpin shall procure that the Company shall not, issue any shares or securities which are convertible or exercisable into shares (in this Section: “Securities”) to any then existing shareholder of the Company (in this Section, an “Existing Shareholder”) other than Ahzakot, and/or their respective Affiliates, whose price per share (in the case of shares) or whose exercise price and/or conversion price (in the case of securities which are convertible or exercisable into shares) does not reflect the fair market value of such shares as determined by a written valuation issued by the Company’s then auditors or such other independent appraiser agreed to by the Company and Ahzakot. The restrictions on the issuance of Securities under this Section 11.3 above shall not apply to: (i) Securities issued in a financing transaction in which the lead investor (together with its affiliates) is an arms length, bona fide, non-Affiliate of the Existing Shareholders and the Securities being issued to the Existing Shareholder are the same, and subject to the same terms, as those being issued to such lead investor, (ii) securities issued as a result of the exchange, exercise or conversion of Securities issued in accordance with this Section 11.3 above or below, or (iii) Securities issued in a financing where the pre-money valuation is not less than the value of the Company’s fixed assets after depreciation, excluding buildings and improvements thereon (as determined in accordance with the then generally accepted accounting principles, rules or standards then being used by the Company for its financial statements).
 
     
The maximum number of shares issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of Securities issued in the financing mentioned in (iii) above, on a fully diluted basis, can be expressed mathematically as follows:
A = [B *(X/Y)]
where,
A = the maximum number of shares issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of Securities issued in such financing,
B = the number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis (on an as converted basis in the event the Company shall have issued preferred shares),
X = the amount invested in such financing,
Y = the value of the Company’s fixed assets after depreciation, excluding buildings and improvements thereon.
For example, if B equals 200, X equals $6,000,000 and Y equals $3,000,000, then A would equal 400.
For the avoidance of doubt, for all purposes under this Section 11.3 (including without limitation for purposes of calculating “X” in the above formula), the amount invested in a financing shall include any and all forms of equity investments, shareholders loans and other types of personal liability or other exposure undertaken by a shareholder of the Company in order to provide the Company with funds, ensure the Company is funded through third parties, or to secure a Company debt, including without limitation, by providing guarantees, making collateral available etc. provided however that all such forms of financing do not include any payments and/or other financing actions contemplated by this Agreement to be made prior to or at Closing, except for the full reimbursement of funds, up to NIS 500,000, injected by Anavid into the Company as additional working capital, pursuant to the final paragraph of Section 10.1.4.2 above. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby clarified that any and all forms of financing after the Closing other than payments made in connection with the Hamit Release pursuant to Section 11.8.1 below (even if such form of financing are extending, reducing, releasing, exchanging or otherwise amending or replacing payments and/or other financing actions contemplated by this Agreement and made prior to or at the Closing) shall be included for all purposes under this Section 11.3.

The Company shall repay the Adjusted Principal Amount to Anavid in 24 equal and consecutive monthly installments (the “Installments”), commencing as of the 13th month following Closing. Together with each Installment, an amount equal to the then outstanding Adjusted Principal Amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the rate of Prime plus 2% and the denominator of which is 12 (the “Interest Payment”), shall be paid to Anavid by the Company (each Installment together with the applicable Interest Payment, the “Combined Payment”). Anavid and Ahzakot hereby irrevocably direct the Company to effect payment of the Combined Payments by means of depositing each Combined Payment directly into Anavid’s bank account, No. 647800/59, at branch 901 of Bank Leumi.

  11.9.2.  
Anavid agrees and undertakes to deliver the Bank Guaranty back to TopSpin for cancellation at any time, at TopSpin’s discretion, against delivery by TopSpin to Anavid of written confirmation that the Note has become convertible into shares of Parent’s common stock, $0.001 par value each (“Common Stock”), based on the following principles:

If the Company’s or TopSpin’s insurance policies which are in effect at the time a claim is made by TopSpin and/or the Company under Section 14 below, and the relevant insurance companies have affirmed in writing that such insurance policies will cover the Losses regardless if the policies shall expire or not be renewed, then no amounts so covered by such insurance may be withheld by the Company under this Section 11.10. Nothing in this Section 11.10 shall derogate from Section 14 hereof.

Non-Competition and Confidentiality.
  11.12.1.  
Covenants Against Competition. Each of the Covenanters acknowledges that TopSpin would not enter into this Agreement but for the agreements and covenants of the Covenanters contained in this Section 11.12. Accordingly, each of the Covenanters covenants and agrees as follows:
  11.12.1.1.  
Covenant Not to Compete. Such Covenanter shall not at any time from the date hereof and during the four (4) year period following the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”): (i) be engaged in a business which is competitive to the business of the Company or (ii) have any ownership interest (of record or beneficial) in, or have any interest as a consultant, officer or director in, or otherwise aid or assist in any manner, any Person that engages in a business which is competitive to the business of the Company; provided, however, that any such Covenanter may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person which are traded on any national securities exchange if such Covenanter owns, directly or indirectly, less than two percent (2%) of all classes of securities of such Person in the aggregate.
  11.12.1.2.  
Solicitation of Business. During the Restricted Period, such Covenanter shall not solicit or assist any other Person to solicit any business from any present or past customer of the Company for a product or service competitive to the Company; or request or advise any present customer of the Company to withdraw, curtail or cancel its business dealings with the Company.
  11.12.1.3.  
Employees. During the Restricted Period, such Covenanter shall not directly or indirectly: (i) solicit or encourage any employee or consultant of the Company to leave the employ of the Company or (ii) hire any employee who has left the employment of the Company if such hiring is proposed to occur within one (1) year after the termination of such employee’s employment with the Company. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, following one (1) year after the date hereof, the Covenanters may hire any Kibbutz member who left the employment of the Company.

  11.12.1.4.  
Confidential Information. From and after the date hereof, except upon the Company’s express prior written consent, such Covenanter shall keep secret and retain in strictest confidence, and shall not use for the benefit of such Covenanter or any other Person, any and all confidential matters and trade secrets known to it relating to the Company and its business, including, without limitation, customer lists, pricing policies, operational methods, marketing plans or strategies, product development techniques or plans, business acquisition plans, new personnel acquisition plans, methods of manufacture, technical processes, designs and design projects, invention and research projects learned by such Covenanter heretofore or hereafter; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any information which is or becomes part of the public domain (other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or other obligations of confidentiality such Covenanter may owe to the Company). Any obligation under this Section 11.12.1.4 shall be subject to any obligation to comply with (i) any Law or (ii) any rule or regulation of any Authority, provided that such Covenanter has given the Company timely notice of such required disclosure and has exhausted all reasonable means of maintaining the confidentiality of such information and further provided that such Covenanter provides the Company with a reasonable opportunity to review the disclosure before it is made and to interpose its own objection to the disclosure.
  11.12.1.5.  
Rights and Remedies Upon Breach. If any Covenanter breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of this Section 11.12, the Company shall have in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity, the right and remedy to have the same specifically enforced, all without the need to post a bond or any other security or to prove any amount of actual damage or that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that monetary damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company.
  11.12.1.6.  
Waiver. Such Covenanter hereby waives any and all right to attack the validity of this Section 11.12 on the grounds of the breadth of their geographic scope or the length of their term.
  11.13.  
Change of the name of the Company. It is hereby agreed that, as soon as possible after Closing, the Company shall change its name to a name approved by the Registrar of Companies and not containing the words “Kiryat Anavim” and/or “Anavim”, and thereafter shall act promptly to cease all further commercial use of the words “Kiryat Anavim” and/or “Anavim” by and/or in relation to the Company. Anavid hereby represents and warrants to TopSpin and to the Company that, so far as it is aware, such change to the Company’s name will not invalidate or breach any Contract, license, permit or authorization.

  12.  
TopSpin Call Option
  12.1.  
Call Option. At any time following the Closing, TopSpin shall have the right to purchase all or part of the shares and/or any other securities of the Company which are convertible or exercisable into shares of the Company held by Ahzakot Upituach (or any Permitted Transferee as such term is defined in the Shareholders Agreement and provided that such Permitted Transferee shall be subject to Ahzakot’s obligations set forth in this Agreement with regard to the Warrant and Warrant Shares) (in this Section 12: “Ahzakot Upituach” shall be deemed to include any such Permitted Transferee), including the Warrant (the “Option Securities”), at TopSpin’s discretion (the “Call Option”).
  12.2.  
TopSpin may exercise the Call Option by delivering a written notice to Ahzakot Upituach (the “Option Exercise Notice”). The Call Option may be exercised in respect of all or a portion of the Option Securities. On the exercise of the Call Option, Ahzakot Upituach will become bound to sell and TopSpin will become bound to purchase the Option Securities which are the subject matter of the Option Exercise Notice. The Call Option may be exercised at any time and from time to time on one or more occasions.
  12.3.  
Within 10 (ten) days from the delivery of the Option Exercise Notice, the following transactions shall occur, which transactions shall be deemed to take place simultaneously and no transaction shall be deemed to have been completed or any document delivered until all such transactions have been completed and all required documents delivered:
  12.3.1.  
TopSpin shall pay to Ahzakot Upituach the purchase price for the Option Securities which are the subject matter of the Option Exercise Notice as described in Section 12.4 below (the “Option Purchase Price”) by way of wire transfer, to a bank account designated by Ahzakot Upituach in writing. The Option Purchase Price may be paid in US dollars or in NIS, in TopSpin’s sole discretion. If payment is made in NIS, the sum will be calculated according to the US dollar/NIS exchange rate last published by the Bank of Israel prior to the date of payment; and
  12.3.2.  
Ahzakot Upituach shall deliver to TopSpin duly executed transfer deeds with respect to the Option Securities which are the subject matter of the Option Exercise Notice in the name of TopSpin or its designee.
  12.4.  
In the event that the Call Option is exercised during the 12 (twelve) month period following the Closing Date (the “First Period”), the purchase price for all of the Option Securities shall be $625,000 (six hundred and twenty five thousand US dollars) (the “Base Purchase Price”). At the beginning of each 12 (twelve) month period following the end of the First Period, the Base Purchase Price shall be increased by $250,000 (two hundred and fifty thousand US dollars), provided that at no time will the overall aggregate cumulative purchase price exceed $1,875,000 (one million eight hundred and seventy five thousand US dollars). In the event the Call Option is exercised for less than all of the Option Securities, then the purchase price payable by TopSpin in respect of the Option Securities which are the subject matter of the relevant Option Exercise Notice shall equal the pro-rata portion of the balance of the then maximum total purchase price.

 

- 38 -


 

  12.5.  
TopSpin and Ahzakot Upituach agree to take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable in connection with sale and purchase of the Option Securities.
  12.6.  
It is hereby acknowledged that the Call Option does not derogate from any other rights afforded to TopSpin in any other agreement between TopSpin and Ahzakot Upituach, the Articles of Association of the Company or under Law.
  12.7.  
Until such time that the Call Option is exercised in full by TopSpin, Ahzakot Upituach shall not sell or otherwise dispose of or grant to any third party any rights in or to any of the Option Securities, including imposing thereon any Lien or Other Encumbrance, or any other rights Ahzakot Upituach may have in the Company, other than a sale of any Option Securities if the Company’s Ordinary Shares are then listed for trade on any national established stock exchange or market system, provided that any such sale shall be subject to a right of first refusal in favor of TopSpin to purchase all or a portion of the Option Securities at a purchase price equal to the lower of the purchase price under the terms of the right of first refusal or the applicable Option Purchase Price. For the purposes of this Section 12.7, until such time that the Call Option is exercised in full by TopSpin (or Ahzakot shall have sold all of the Option Securities held by it as permitted under this Section 12.7), the terms and conditions of the right of refusal granted to TopSpin under the Shareholders Agreement (the “SHA Right of First Refusal”) shall continue to apply as between TopSpin and Ahzakot (and their Permitted Transferees) mutatis mutandis, notwithstanding the termination thereof pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Shareholders Agreement, unless the SHA Right of First Refusal shall be replaced, with TopSpin’s written consent, with another first refusal right.
For avoidance of doubt, the exercise of the Call Option in full shall not derogate from the Company’s obligation to repay the Anavid Loan under Section 11.5 and to make the royalty payments under Sections 11.6 and 11.7 in accordance with this Agreement.
  13.  
Confidentiality; Announcements
  13.1.  
The Parties and their respective officers and employees shall maintain full confidentiality as to the substance and matters contained in this Agreement.
The Parties will coordinate in advance all announcements to the press or the general public concerning this Agreement and otherwise regarding the Company, provided that following the Closing (or the earlier termination of this Agreement), the Company shall not be restricted by this paragraph with respect to announcements concerning it and its affairs.
  13.2.  
The foregoing shall not apply to disclosures and public announcements required in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

  14.  
Indemnification
  14.1.  
Each of the Covenanters hereby undertake, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold TopSpin and the Company, including their respective officers and directors, and their respective successors and assigns, and TopSpin hereby undertakes to indemnify and hold Anavid and Ahzakot, including their respective officers and directors, and their respective successors and assigns, harmless from and against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, settlement costs and any reasonable legal, accounting or other expenses for investigating or defending any actions or threatened actions) (“Losses”) based in whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part out of any of the following:
  14.1.1.  
Any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by such Party (whether in respect of itself or the Company) in this Agreement; and/or
  14.1.2.  
Any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of such Party contained in this Agreement.
  14.1.3.  
For avoidance of doubt, and subject to Section 14.9 below, with respect to Ahzakot’s undertaking to indemnify and hold harmless as set forth above, such undertaking shall include Losses based in whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part of any of Anavid’s misrepresentations and/or breaches as per Sections 14.1.1 and/or 14.1.2, if at all, including the failure of Anavid to indemnify per Section 14.2.
  14.2.  
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Anavid undertakes to indemnify and hold TopSpin and the Company, including their respective officers and directors, and their respective successors and assigns, harmless from and against all Losses (including legal expenses) based in whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part out of any and all liabilities owed by the Company to any former or current employees and/or to the Kibbutz Members and/or to the Kibbutz (including in respect of the Kibbutz Members), or beneficiaries thereof, including in respect of any payments, rights or benefits arising out of or related to employment relations, including salary, payments equivalent to salary, bonuses, social security contributions, leave pay and redemption of such, sick pay, recuperation pay (dmey havra’a), payments pursuant to the Hours of Work and Rest Law, payments pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of the Wage Protection Law, advance notice pay, severance pay, compensation for holding back salary and/or severance pay and any other kinds of compensation regarding employment relations and/or the termination thereof, pension and any social benefit entitled according to any applicable law, agreement (collective or personal) or custom, in respect of the period prior to the Closing, or in respect of payments, rights or benefits which may accrue in the future but relate to periods of employment prior to the Closing and were not accurately reflected in the schedules to this Agreement (including, for the removal of doubt, in respect of continuity of rights).
  14.3.  
From and after the Closing Date, the Company hereby undertakes, to indemnify and hold Anavid, including its respective officers and directors, and its respective successors and assigns, harmless from and against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, settlement costs and any reasonable legal, accounting or other expenses for investigating or defending any actions or threatened actions) (“Losses”) based in whole on or arising in whole out of a third party claim with respect to an act or omission by the Company following the Closing Date, provided that any such cause of action occurred following the Closing Date and provided further, that such cause of action is not in any way related to any act or omission by the Company prior to the Closing Date or to any act or omission by Anavid, its officers or directors at any time.

  14.4.  
If any Party seeks indemnification under this Section 14 (the “Indemnified Party”), it shall give written notice of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the claim to the Party owing such indemnification duty (the “Indemnifying Party”). In that regard, if any Proceeding, claim, liability or obligation (a “Section 14 Proceeding”) shall be brought or asserted by any third party which, if adversely determined, would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnity pursuant to this Section 14, the Indemnified Party shall within twenty (20) days notify the Indemnifying Party of the same in writing, specifying in detail the basis of such claim and the facts pertaining thereto; provided, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure shall have actually harmed the Indemnifying Party.
  14.5.  
If the Indemnifying Party so elects, it shall assume and control the defense of such Section 14 Proceeding (and shall consult with the Indemnified Party with respect thereto), including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of expenses; provided, however, that in the event any Section 14 Proceeding shall be brought or asserted by any third party which, if adversely determined, would not entitle the Indemnified Party to full indemnity pursuant to this Section 14, the Indemnified Party may elect to participate in a joint defense of such Section 14 Proceeding (a “Joint Defense Proceeding”) for which the expenses of such joint defense will be borne by the Indemnifying Party and the employment of counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to both parties.
  14.6.  
If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume and control the defense of a Section 14 Proceeding, it will provide notice thereof within 5 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the matter and if such Section 14 Proceeding is not a Joint Defense Proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel.
  14.7.  
The Indemnified Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Section 14 Proceeding, the defense of which the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume, which settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided that no settlement of a Joint Defense Proceeding may be effected without the written consent of both parties. If there shall be a settlement to which the Indemnifying Party shall consent or a final judgment for the plaintiff in any Section 14 Proceeding, the defense of which the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to the settlement or judgment. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume and control the defense or in the event of a Joint Defense Proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall take all reasonable efforts necessary to assist in such defense at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.

 

- 41 -


 

  14.8.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Anavid and Ahzakot Upituach shall be required to indemnify the Company or TopSpin hereunder only if the Losses (which shall be aggregated between them) exceed NIS 200,000 (NIS two hundred thousand), but if and when the Losses so exceed NIS 200,000 (NIS two hundred thousand), all of the Losses (including the NIS 200,000) shall be subject to indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and TopSpin shall be required to indemnify Anavid and Ahzakot hereunder only if the Losses suffered by Anavid and Ahzakot exceed NIS 200,000 (NIS two hundred thousand), but if and when the Losses so exceed NIS 200,000 (NIS two hundred thousand), all of the Losses (including the NIS 200,000) shall be subject to indemnification hereunder.
  14.9.  
If TopSpin and/or the Company make an indemnity claim against Ahzakot in respect of Anavid’s misrepresentations or breaches as per Sections 14.1.1 or 14.1.2 including failure of Anavid to indemnify per Section 14.2, then the Warrant and/or Warrant Shares shall be handled as follows:
  14.9.1.  
To the extent that Ahzakot, and the Company and/or TopSpin, reach agreement as to the rejection or the discharge of the indemnity claim, including pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement, or, failing such agreement, a final, unappealable court ruling rejects the indemnity claim, then the Warrant and Warrant Shares shall remain with Ahzakot.
  14.9.2.  
If Ahzakot accepts the indemnity claim, or a final, unappealable court ruling accepts the indemnity claim, then, if the indemnity claim is not otherwise settled within 60 days of such acceptance, Ahzakot shall transfer the appropriate portion of the Warrant and/or Warrant Shares to the Company and/or TopSpin, as applicable. For this purpose (and for the purpose of computing any outstanding liability of Anavid if an accepted indemnity claim is not settled in full by Ahzakot), the value of the Warrant shall be deemed equal to the applicable Option Purchase Price under the Call Option on the date of the demand for indemnification (plus any interest and linkage added to the amounts claimed by a court of law or by agreement of the parties), and if the Warrant will have already been exercised into Warrant Shares, then the value of the Warrant Shares will be deemed to be equal to what would have been the applicable Option Purchase Price under the Call Option on the date of the demand for indemnification (plus any interest and linkage added to the amounts claimed by a court of law or by agreement of the parties). If said value of the Warrant and/or Warrant Shares exceeds the amount of the accepted indemnity claim, then such excess shall be retained by Ahzakot.

 

- 42 -


 

  14.9.3.  
For avoidance of doubt, Ahzakot’s liability under this Section 14.9, shall only be payable by Ahzakot by way of the Warrant, the Warrant Shares (as valued pursuant to the aforesaid) and Ahzakot’s part of the Anavid Loan.
 
     
This Section 14.9 does not derogate from Ahzakot’s liability to indemnify TopSpin and the Company for any of Ahzakot’s own misrepresentations or breaches of this Agreement, if any.
 
     
For the avoidance of doubt, even prior to the resolution of any outstanding dispute for indemnification by TopSpin or the Company under this Section 14, the Warrant may be exercised in accordance with its terms.
  14.10.  
In order to secure Ahzakot’s obligations under this Section 14, upon the Closing and issuance of the Warrant to Ahzakot, Ahzakot shall place a second ranking fixed charge, subject to the first floating charge for the benefit of Bank Leumi, over the Warrant and the Warrant Shares in favor of TopSpin to its full satisfaction. Such second charge shall be removed upon the later of (i) the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Full Release Date”) or (ii) the resolution of any outstanding claims for indemnity on the Full Release Date against Ahzakot, including under Section 14.9 above. For the avoidance of doubt, transfer or assignment of the Warrant and/or Warrant Shares shall not be allowed prior to the discharge of such second charge unless permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement and the Warrant, but the Warrant may be exercised during such period, in accordance with its terms.
  14.11.  
For the avoidance of doubt, in case TopSpin seeks indemnification from Anavid and/or Ahzakot as per this Section 14, and such indemnification is not otherwise discharged by Anavid and/or Ahzakot, then TopSpin shall be entitled to receive from the Company any part of payments not yet paid under Sections 11.5 – 11.7, up to the amount of such undischarged liability, and such payments received by TopSpin shall be deemed to have been made on account of the payments due under Sections 11.5 – 11.7, by the Company to Anavid and/or Ahzakot (as the case may be). In the event of a dispute as to indemnification liability, no part of said payments due to Anavid shall be transferred to TopSpin in respect of the sum under dispute, but such sum shall also not be paid to Anavid or Ahzakot until such dispute is resolved by final, unappealable court ruling.
  14.12.  
No claims for indemnification under this Agreement may be made following the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Closing Date.
  15.  
Termination of Agreement
  15.1.  
Termination by Agreement of the Parties. This Agreement may be terminated by the mutual written agreement of the Parties hereto.
  15.2.  
Termination Due to a Material Breach. Any material breach of this Agreement will entitle the injured Party to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Parties hereto, provided that the breaching Party fails to cure such breach within seven (7) days after it has received written notice (the “Breach Notice”) from the injured Party regarding such breach. The injured Party shall forthwith send a copy of the Breach Notice to the other Parties.
  15.3.  
Termination Due to No Closing. This Agreement may be terminated by each Party if the Closing has not taken place on or before August 15, 2009. However, any of Anavid or TopSpin may prolong this period by 60 days upon a written notice to the other Parties hereto. The right to terminate the agreement under this Section shall not be available to any Party whose failure to comply with or perform any covenant or obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby to be completed by such date.

 

- 43 -


 

  15.4.  
Availability of Remedies at Law. In the event that this Agreement is terminated and/or breached by any Party, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 15, the Parties hereto shall have available to them all remedies afforded to them by applicable law.
  15.5.  
If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 15, all further obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, no Party shall be relieved of any obligation or liability arising from any prior breach by such Party of any provision of this Agreement and the Parties shall, in all events, remain bound by and continue to be subject to the provisions set forth in Sections 1, 2, 7, 13, 14, 15.4, 15.5, 16-20 (inclusive) and 22-27 (inclusive).
  16.  
Assignment of Rights and Obligations
 
     
This Agreement and the Parties’ respective rights and obligations hereunder may not be transferred, conveyed or assigned to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto, provided, however, that (i) TopSpin may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates, provided that this shall be without prejudice to any of Anavid and Ahzakot’s rights herein; (ii) without derogating from (i), following the Closing, TopSpin and the Company may assign their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person owning or acquiring all or substantially all the assets of TopSpin or the Company, as applicable, (including this Agreement) or into which TopSpin or the Company, as applicable, shall merge, whether by operation of law or otherwise, provided that this shall be without prejudice to any of Anavid and Ahzakot’s rights herein; and (iii) Anavid may assign its rights (in whole but not in part) to receive payments under Sections 11.6 and 11.7 to Ahzakot Upituach through a written notice to the Company and TopSpin, subject to Ahzakot Upituach’s written consent (a copy of which shall be delivered to the Company) and delivery of a written approval of Bank Leumi (or any other Person in favor of which payments under Sections 11.6 and 11.7 are charged), and in such case the provisions of this Agreement governing the royalty payments under Sections 11.6 and 11.7 shall continue to apply mutatis mutandis viz. Ahzakot Upituach, including, without limitation, rights to make deductions and the deemed payment thereof and that all payments shall be made by the Company to Ahzakot Upituach only (unless deducted in accordance with this Agreement). For the removal of doubt, upon such assignment, Anavid shall not have any claims against the Company, TopSpin or their directors, officers and shareholders and their respective successors and assigns with respect to the non-receipt of any royalty payment and nothing herein shall derogate from Section 14 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, if TopSpin transfers any shares in the Company, it shall be entitled to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to the transferee of such shares.
  17.
