Upon receipt of an Advance Request, Lender shall have the right to review whether, each of the conditions precedent to such Advance (set forth in Section 4 herein) has been satisfied as of the requested Advance Date, and if such conditions precedent have been or will be satisfied then Lender shall be obligated to fund such Advance, Lender shall deliver to Borrower for signature a Note dated as of the Advance Date to evidence such Advance. Upon receipt by Lender of such Note duly executed and delivered by Borrower, Lender shall fund the Advance in the manner requested by the Advance Request provided that each of the conditions precedent 8 to such Advance is satisfied as of the requested Advance Date. All the terms, conditions, and covenants of this Agreement shall apply to all Advances whether or not each Advance is evidenced by a Note.

If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that Borrower has actually paid to Lender an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Secured Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of principal outstanding on the Notes; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of Lender's accrued interest, costs, expenses, professional fees and any other Secured Obligations; and third, after all Secured Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrower. (b) In the event any payment (including any interest payment) is not paid on the scheduled Payment Date, and the Borrower fails to pay such amount, an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the past due amount, which was not paid on time, shall be payable on demand.

Discount Bank Ltd.'s prior consent is also necessary for Lender to exercise its remedies under the Lien on the shares of Omrix Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. and Omrix Biopharmaceuticals S.A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the floating charge will not apply to and the Collateral will not include any of the Guarantors' assets and rights, which are subject to Existing Liens (e.g., lien granted to MDA and Hapoalim Bank Ltd.), except the lien in favor of Discount Bank Ltd.

Any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or elsewhere. Borrower agrees that any such public or private sale may occur upon ten (10) calendar days' prior written notice to Borrower. Lender may require Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place designated by Lender that is reasonably convenient to Lender 20 and Borrower. The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by Lender in the following order of priorities: First, to Lender in an amount sufficient to pay in full Lender's costs and professionals' and advisors' fees and expenses as described in Section 12.15; Second, to Lender in an amount equal to the then unpaid amount of the Secured Obligations (including principal, interest, and the Default Rate interest), in such order and priority as Lender may choose in its sole discretion; and Finally, after the full, final, and indefeasible payment in Cash of all of the Secured Obligations, to any creditor holding a junior Lien on the Collateral, or to Borrower or its representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. Lender shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in the custody, preservation and disposition of any of the Collateral if it complies with the obligations of a secured party under the UCC. 11.3 Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral for the benefit of Borrower or any other Person, and Borrower expressly waives all rights, if any, to require Lender to marshal any Collateral. 11.4 Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary contained in this Agreement and the Loan Documents, the Borrower's and the Guarantors' total and maximum liability toward Lender for any breach of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, any guaranty of the obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents executed by any Person other than Borrower (including without limitation the Guarantees), the covenants or in any case of an Event of Default or otherwise under all such agreements (but expressly excluding from this limit any liability in respect of the Warrant Agreement) shall be limited to the then current outstanding unpaid Loan amount including all unpaid interest accrued thereon plus any expenses due under Section 12.15 plus any amount due on account of Section 6.3. SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS 12.1 Continuation of Security Interest.

Without derogating from Section 11.4 above, the rights, powers and remedies of Lender hereunder shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given by statute or rule of law and are cumulative. The exercise of any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies provided herein shall not be construed as a waiver of or election of remedies with respect to any other rights, powers and remedies of Lender. 12.2 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent and duration of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 12.3 Notice.

The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.

The powers conferred upon Lender by this Agreement are solely to protect its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers. No omission or delay by either Party at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved to it, or to require performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by the other Party at any time designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which such Party is entitled, nor shall it in any way affect the right of that Party to enforce such provisions thereafter. 12.9 Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall be for the benefit of Lender and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the expiration or other termination of this Agreement until the full repayment of all Notes and Advances. 12.10 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on Borrower and its permitted assigns (if any). Borrower shall not assign its obligations under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents without Lender's express prior written consent, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect. Except as set forth in Section 8, above, Lender may assign, transfer, or endorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as set forth in Section 7.12 without prior notice to Borrower; and all of such rights shall inure to the benefit of Lender's successors and assigns; provided, however, that in any such assignment by the Lender to an entity unrelated to Lender where Lender ceases to have authority over the management of this Agreement, the Borrower will be entitled to a prior notice and to pre-pay all or any part of the Secured Obligations without paying any penalty payments per Section 2.4 above. Except as set forth in Section 8, above, Borrower consents to, and the previous sentence does not apply to, the assignment of this Agreement to a bankruptcy proof or special purpose entity or the granting of a security interest in this Agreement, in connection with the financing of Lender's portfolio. 12.11 Governing Law. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated and delivered to Lender in the State of California, and shall have been accepted by Lender in the State of California. Payment to Lender by Borrower of the Secured Obligations is due in the State of California. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction. 12.12 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. All judicial proceedings arising in or under or related to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of California.

Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction. 12.13 Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, "CLAIMS") ASSERTED BY BORROWER AGAINST LENDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE OR BY LENDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE AGAINST BORROWER. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than Borrower and Lender; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship between Borrower and Lender; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Excluded Agreements. If this jury waiver is for any reason unenforceable, the parties agree that any disputes be resolved by binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, to be conducted in Palo Alto, California. 12.14 Professional Fees. Borrower promises to pay Lender's actually incurred fees and expenses necessary to finalize the loan documentation, up to an aggregate total sum of $100,000, including but not limited to attorneys fees, UCC searches, filing costs, and other miscellaneous expenses. In addition, Borrower promises to pay any and all reasonable attorneys' and other professionals' fees and expenses incurred by Lender after the Closing Date in connection with or related to: collection, or enforcement of the Loan or Collateral. Lender's professional fees and expenses shall include reasonable fees or expenses for Lender's attorneys, accountants, auctioneers, liquidators, appraisers, investment advisors, environmental and management consultants, or experts engaged by Lender in connection with the foregoing. Borrower's promise to pay all of Lender's reasonable professional fees and expenses, as per this Section 12.15, is part of the Secured Obligations under this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 12.15, attorneys' fees shall include reasonable fees incurred in connection with the following: (i) contempt proceedings; (ii) discovery; (iii) any motion, proceeding or other activity of any kind in connection with an insolvency proceeding; (iv) garnishment, levy, and debtor and third party examinations; and (v) post-judgment motions and proceedings of any kind, including without limitation any activity taken to collect or enforce any judgment. All of the foregoing costs and expenses not paid on or before the Closing Date shall be payable with 30 days of written demand by Lender, and if not paid within thirty (30) days of presentation of invoices shall bear interest at the highest applicable Default Rate. Borrower agrees that Lender's written demand need not consist of more detail than a separate line item for each general category of expense and corresponding amount, such as legal fees and costs $100.00, filing fees $100.00, or courier services $100.00, etc. 12.15 Confidentiality. Lender acknowledges that certain items of Collateral, including, but not limited to trade secrets, source codes, customer lists, and any Financial Statements and any other Borrower's information, which is deemed by the Borrower to be confidential or proprietary in nature, provided pursuant hereto or to which the Lender or its representatives will be exposed, shall constitute proprietary and confidential information of Borrower (the "Confidential Information"). Accordingly, Lender agrees that any Confidential Information it may obtain in the course of acquiring, administering, or perfecting Lender's security interest in the Collateral shall be received in the strictest confidence and 24 shall not be disclosed to any other person or entity in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Borrower, except that Lender may disclose any such information: (a) to its own directors, officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other professional advisors and to its affiliates if Lender in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information and, provided that such recipient of such Confidential Information either (i) agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this paragraph 12.15 or (ii) is otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions that reasonably protect against the disclosure of Confidential Information, and has been informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information prior to its exposure thereto; (b) if such information is generally available to the public when first disclosed to the Lender; (c) if required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any governmental authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over Lender; (d) if legally required in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, to the extent permitted or deemed advisable by Lender's counsel; (e) to comply with any legal requirement or law applicable to Lender; (f) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, including Lender's sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral after default, which Collateral constitutes or is reasonably related to Confidential Information;(g) to any participant or assignee of Lender or any prospective participant or assignee, provided such participant or assignee or prospective participant or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by this Section prior to disclosure; or (h) otherwise with the prior consent of Borrower; provided, that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower or any of its affiliates or any guarantor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and provided further that the foregoing proviso shall not preclude Borrower from filing an action or asserting a claim against Lender as a consequence of such disclosure. 12.16 Assignment of Rights. Borrower acknowledges and understands that Lender may sell and assign all or part of its interest hereunder and under the Note(s) and Loan Documents to any person or entity (an "Assignee"), subject to a ten (10) day prior notice to the Borrower. After such assignment the term "Lender" as used in the Loan Documents shall mean and include such Assignee, and such Assignee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of Lender hereunder with respect to the interest so assigned; but with respect to any such interest not so transferred, Lender shall retain all rights, powers and remedies hereby given. No such assignment by Lender shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder. Lender agrees that in the event of any transfer by it of the Note(s), it will endorse thereon a notation as to the portion of the principal of the Note(s), which shall have been paid at the time of such transfer and as to the date to which interest shall have been last paid thereon. In addition, in such event, and except in the case of an assignment by Lender pursuant to a securitization transaction, Borrower shall be entitled to prepay the Notes and the Advances plus all interest accrued thereon without the need to pay any prepayment premiums pursuant to Section 2.4. 12.17 Revival of Secured Obligations. This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective if any petition is filed by or against Borrower for liquidation or reorganization, if Borrower becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part of Borrower's assets, or if any payment or transfer of Collateral is recovered from Lender. The Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations and Collateral security shall continue to be effective, or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations or any transfer of Collateral to Lender, or any part thereof is rescinded, avoided or avoidable, reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by, or is recovered from, Lender or by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent conveyance," or otherwise, all as though such payment, performance, or transfer of Collateral had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, avoided, avoidable, restored, returned, or recovered, the Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations shall be deemed, without any further action or documentation, to 25 have been revived and reinstated except to the extent of the full, final, and indefeasible payment to Lender in Cash. 12.18 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 12.19 No Third Party Beneficiaries. No provisions of the Loan Documents are intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide or create any third-party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any person other than Lender and Borrower unless specifically provided otherwise herein, and, except as otherwise so provided, all provisions of the Loan Documents will be personal and solely between the Lender and the Borrower. 12.20 (SIGNATURES TO FOLLOW) 26 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower and Lender have duly executed and delivered this Senior Loan and Security Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
