Item 4.  Description of Securities.

Not applicable.
 
Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.
 
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Under the Israeli Companies Law, 1999 (the “Companies Law”) a company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach of the duty of loyalty. An Israeli company may exculpate an office holder in advance from liability to the company, in whole or in part, for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of duty of care, but only if a provision authorizing such exculpation is included in the company’s articles of association. Our articles of association include such a provision. The company may not exculpate in advance a director from liability arising out of a prohibited dividend or distribution to shareholders.
 
 
3

 
 
Under the Companies Law, a company may indemnify an office holder for the following liabilities, payments and expenses incurred for acts performed by him or her, as an office holder, either pursuant to an undertaking given by the company in advance of the act or following the act, provided its articles of association authorize such indemnification:
 
 
·
a monetary liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person pursuant to a judgment, including a settlement or arbitrator’s award approved by a court. However, if an undertaking to indemnify an office holder with respect to such liability is provided in advance, then such an undertaking must be limited to events which, in the opinion of the board of directors, can be foreseen based on the company’s activities when the undertaking to indemnify is given, and to an amount, or according to criteria, determined by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances. Such undertaking shall detail the foreseen events and amount or criteria mentioned above;
 
 
·
reasonable litigation expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the office holder (1) as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him or her by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding, provided that (i) no indictment was filed against such office holder as a result of such investigation or proceeding; and (ii) no financial liability was imposed upon him or her as a substitute for the criminal proceeding as a result of such investigation or proceeding or, if such financial liability was imposed, it was imposed with respect to an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent (mens rea); and (2) in connection with a monetary sanction; and
 
 
·
reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the office holder or imposed by a court in proceedings instituted against him or her by the company, on its behalf, or by a third party, or in connection with criminal proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted, or as a result of a conviction for an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent (mens rea).
 
In addition, under the Companies Law, a company may insure an office holder against the following liabilities incurred for acts performed by him or her as an office holder, to the extent provided in the company’s articles of association:
 
 
·
a breach of a duty of loyalty to the company, provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not harm the company;
 
 
·
a breach of duty of care to the company or to a third party, to the extent such a breach arises out of the negligent conduct of the office holder; and
 
 
·
a monetary liability imposed on the office holder in favor of a third party.
 
Under the Companies Law, a company may not indemnify, exculpate or insure an office holder against any of the following:
 
 
·
a breach of the duty of loyalty, except for indemnification and insurance for a breach of the duty of loyalty to the company to the extent that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not harm the company;
 
 
·
a breach of the duty of care committed intentionally or recklessly, excluding a breach arising out of the negligent conduct of the office holder;
 
 
·
an act or omission committed with intent to derive illegal personal benefit; or
 
 
·
a fine or penalty levied against the office holder.
 
Our articles of association permit us to exculpate, indemnify and insure our office holders to the fullest extent permitted under the Companies Law (other than indemnification for litigation expenses in connection with a monetary sanction).
 
 
4

 
 
Other than our director Reuven Behar and other office holders employed since May 31, 2013, we have entered into indemnification and exculpation agreements with each of our current office holders exculpating them from a breach of their duty of care to us to the fullest extent permitted by the Companies Law and undertaking to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by the Companies Law (other than indemnification for litigation expenses in connection with a monetary sanction), including with respect to liabilities resulting from this offering, to the extent that these liabilities are not covered by insurance.  This indemnification is limited to events determined as foreseeable by our board of directors based on our activities, as set forth in the indemnification agreements. Under such indemnification agreements, the maximum aggregate amount of indemnification that we may pay to all of our office holders together is the greater of 30% of the shareholders equity according to our most recent financial statements (audited or reviewed) at the time of payment and NIS 20 million.  We have entered into an indemnification agreement with Reuven Behar, who was elected to serve as a director in April 2013, and other office holders employed since May 31, 2013, with substantially similar terms to the agreement described above except that they will not be entitled to exculpation and the maximum aggregate amount of indemnification that we may pay to such office holders under the proposed indemnification agreement together with all of our other office holders is 25% of the shareholders equity according to our most recent financial statements (audited or reviewed) at the time of payment.
 
Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.
 
Item 8.  Exhibits.

The exhibits listed on the exhibit index at the end of this Registration Statement are included in this Registration Statement.
 
Item 9.  Undertakings.

(a)     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)     To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 
(i)
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 
(ii)
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.; and

 
(iii)
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

provided, however , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(2)             That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(3)             To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
 
5

 
 
(b)     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant and expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Kamada Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”) in connection with the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by the Company of an aggregate of 2,594,456of its ordinary shares, par value NIS 1.00 per share (the “Shares”) issuable pursuant to the Kamada Ltd. 2005 Israeli Share Option Plan and Kamada Ltd. 2011 Israeli Share Option Plan (together, the “Plans”).

In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined the originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of (i) the Registration Statement; (ii) copies of the memorandum of association and the articles of association of the Company, as currently in effect; (iii) the Plans; (iv) resolutions of the board of directors of the Company provided to us by the Company; and (v) such other records, documents, certificates, agreements, or other instruments, and have made such other inquiries, all as we deemed necessary to enable us to render the opinions expressed below.

In our examination of such documents, we have assumed the capacity of all individuals, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals of such documents and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, certified copies or facsimiles thereof.

The opinion hereinafter expressed is limited to matters governed by the laws of the State of Israel applicable therein in effect as of the date of this opinion.

Based upon and subject to the forgoing and to the qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly and validly authorized for issuance under the Plans and subject to the requisite corporate approvals, when paid for and issued in accordance with the terms of the respective Plan and the applicable option grants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We consent to the inclusion of this opinion as part of the Registration.  In giving this consent, we do not admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules promulgated thereunder.
