(j)       Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal Accounting Controls. Each SEC Document containing financial statements that has been filed with or submitted to the SEC was accompanied by the certifications required to be filed or submitted by the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”); at the time of filing or submission of each such certification, such certification was true and accurate and complied with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; such certifications contain no qualifications or exceptions to the matters certified therein and have not been modified or withdrawn; and neither the Company nor any of its officers has received notice from any governmental entity questioning or challenging the accuracy, completeness, form or manner of filing or submission of such certification;
 
(k)      Absence of Changes.  The Common Stock is quoted for trading on the OTCBB.  No order ceasing, halting or suspending trading in the Common Stock nor prohibiting the sale of the Common Stock has been issued to and is outstanding against the Company or its directors, officers or promoters, and, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, no investigations or proceedings for such purposes are pending or threatened.  The Company has not taken any action which would be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of quotation of the Common Stock on or from the OTCBB and the Company has complied in all material respects with the rules and regulations of eligibility on the OTCBB.  The Company has not taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does the Company have any knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead any creditor or creditors to do so.  Based on the financial condition of the Company as of the date hereof, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company reasonably believes that (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities as they mature; (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid.  The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).  The SEC Documents set forth as of the dates thereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Company Indebtedness, or for which the Company or any subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Company Indebtedness” shall mean with respect to the Company and any subsidiary (a) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (b) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of Company Indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (c) the present value of any lease payments due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP.

The Company has not received any notice (written or otherwise) that the Company Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company violate or infringe upon the rights of any other person or entity. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Company Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another person or entity of any of the Company Intellectual Property Rights. The Company has taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of its Company Intellectual Property Rights.

(j)       Absence of Changes.  The ordinary shares of the Investor are listed on the TASE.  No order ceasing, halting or suspending trading in the ordinary shares or prohibiting the sale of the ordinary shares has been issued to and is outstanding against the Investor or its directors, officers or promoters, and, to the best of the Investor’s knowledge, no investigations or proceedings for such purposes are pending or threatened.  The Investor has not, received notice (written or oral) from the TASE to the effect that the Investor is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of the TASE.  The Investor is not, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.  The Investor has not taken any action which would be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of quotation of the ordinary shares on or from the TASE and the Investor has complied in all material respects with the rules and regulations of eligibility on the TASE.  The Investor has not taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does the Investor have any knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead any creditor or creditors to do so.  The Investor does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).  The ISA Documents set forth as of the dates thereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Investor Indebtedness of the Investor or any subsidiary, or for which the Investor or any subsidiary has commitments.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “Investor Indebtedness” shall mean with respect to the Investor and any subsidiary (a) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (b) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of Investor Indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Investor’s balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (c) the present value of any lease payments due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Investor nor any subsidiary is in default with respect to any Investor Indebtedness.
 
(k)      Patents and Trademarks. The Investor has rights to use all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights necessary or material for use in connection with its business as described in the ISA Documents and which the failure to so have would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects, or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Investor (collectively, the “InvestorIntellectual Property Rights”). The Investor has not received any notice (written or otherwise) that the Investor Intellectual Property Rights used by the Investor violate or infringe upon the rights of any other person or entity. To the knowledge of the Investor, all such Investor Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another person or entity of any of the Investor Intellectual Property Rights. The Investor has taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of its Investor Intellectual Property Rights.

(m)     No General Solicitation; Placement Agent’s Fees.  Neither the Investor, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising in connection with the offer or sale of the Option or the Option Shares.  The Investor shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, or brokers’ commissions (other than for persons engaged by any Investor or its investment advisor) relating to or arising out of the issuance of the Option and the Option Shares.
 
(n)      Authorization; Enforcement.  The Investor represents and warrants that it is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the applicable this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder.  This Agreement has been duly executed by the Investor, and when delivered by the Investor in accordance with terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
 
(o)      Investment Intent.  The Investor is acquiring the Oramed Shares as principal for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Oramed Shares or any part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the Investor's right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Oramed Shares in compliance with applicable securities laws and this Agreement.  The Investor is acquiring the Oramed Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. The Investor does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Oramed Shares.
 
(p)      Investor Status.  At the time the Investor was offered the Oramed Shares, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and a non-"U.S. person" within the meaning of Rule 902(k) promulgated under the Securities Act (and the Investor is not purchasing for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person).  At the time of the offer and sale of the Oramed Shares, the Investor was not located in the United States.  The Investor is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
(q)      General Solicitation.  The Investor is not purchasing the Oramed Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Oramed Shares 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.

The Investor understands that a purchase of the Oramed Shares is a speculative investment involving a high degree of risk.  The Investor is aware that there is no guarantee that the Investor will realize any gain from this investment, and that the Investor could lose the total amount of this investment.

(u)      Limitations on Transfers. The Investor acknowledges that the Oramed Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.  The Investor is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, which may include, among other things, the existence of a public market for the securities, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than six months after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker” and the number of securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding specified limitations.

(b)            No later than three weeks and no earlier than five weeks prior to the Termination Date, the Company shall send notice to the Holder containing the Termination Date and the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Option Letter.
 
ARTICLE XIV. Notice of Corporate Action.  If at any time:
 
14.1           the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Ordinary Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or

then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder at least seven (7) days’ prior written notice of (i) a record date that was fixed for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, the date when the same shall or is expected to take place, provided, however, that if the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors") approves such action or transaction less then seven days prior to the applicable record date, then the Company shall give the Holder such notice immediately following such approval of the Board of Directors to enable the Holder to decide whether to exercise this Option Letter prior to the applicable record date.  Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares  for securities or other property deliverable upon such disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.  Each such written notice shall be delivered in accordance with Section 16(c).

ARTICLE XV. Authorized Shares.  The Company covenants that during the period this Option Letter is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Option Letter.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Option Letter shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing share certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Option Letter.  The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the stock exchange upon which the Ordinary Shares may be listed.
 
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its memorandum or articles of association or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Option Letter, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Option Letter against impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Shares above the amount payable therefor upon exercise  of this Option Letter immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Shares upon the exercise of this Option Letter, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions, approvals or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Option Letter.

16.1           Jurisdiction.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Option Letter shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the SPA.
 
16.2           Non-waiver and Expenses.  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder or the Company shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s or Company’s rights, powers or remedies.
 
16.3           Notices.  Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered in connection with this Option Letter shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the SPA.
 
16.4           Limitation of Liability.  No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Option Letter or purchase Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Ordinary Shares or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by others.
 
 
A - 5

 
 
16.5           Remedies.  Each of the Holder and the Company, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Option Letter.  The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Option Letter and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
16.6           Successors and Assigns.  Except as expressly permitted by the terms hereof, neither this Option Letter nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Company.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Option Letter and any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be transferred or assigned by the Holder to a transferee or assignee that (i) is an Affiliate of the Holder or (ii) is a spouse or a child of the controlling member of the Holder.  For purposes of this Section, the term “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any Person, another Person which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, and the term “control” shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting securities of a Person.  Subject to applicable securities laws, this Option Letter and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.  The provisions of this Option Letter are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Option Letter and shall be enforceable by any such Holder or holder of Shares.
 
16.7           Amendment.  This Option Letter may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
 
16.8           Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Option Letter shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Option Letter shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Option Letter.
 
16.9           Headings.  The headings used in this Option Letter are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Option Letter.
