The Original Registration Statement registers the issuance and sale of up to US$100,000,000 of the Company's ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”), warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company, which will be issued under one or more warrant agreements (each a “Warrant Agreement”) between the Company and a warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”); and (vi) units (the “Units”) consisting of two or more Warrants or Ordinary Shares, or any combination of such securities (and, together with the Ordinary Shares and Warrants, the “Securities”) that the Company may sell from time to time in one or more offerings on terms to be determined at the time of sale pursuant to the Registration Statement and one or more prospectus supplements to the Registration Statement.

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.
For purposes of the opinions hereinafter expressed, we have examined originals or copies, certified and otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed herein. Insofar as the opinions expressed herein involve factual matters, we have relied (without independent factual investigation), to the extent we deemed proper or necessary, upon certificates of, and other communications with, officers and employees of the Company and upon certificates of public officials. We have also considered such questions of Israeli law as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. In making our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, photostatic or facsimile copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.
We also have assumed that: (1) at the time of execution, issuance and delivery of any Warrants, the related Warrant Agreement will be the valid and legally binding obligation of the Warrant Agent, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms; and (2) at the time of the execution, issuance and delivery of the Units, the related Unit Agreement will be the valid and legally binding obligation of the Unit Agent, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms.
We have assumed further that: (1) at the time of execution, issuance and delivery of any Warrants, the related Warrant Agreement will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Company and the Warrant Agent; (2) at the time of execution, issuance and delivery of the Units, the related Unit Agreement will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Offered Securities, the terms of the Offered Securities, and their issuance and sale, will have been established so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and so as to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company.
In connection with the opinions as to enforceability expressed below, such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, subject to general principles of equity and to limitations on availability of equitable relief, including specific performance (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) or by an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
Based upon the foregoing, in reliance thereon and subject to the assumptions, comments, qualifications, limitations and exceptions stated herein and the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Act, we are of the opinion that:
1. With respect to the Ordinary Shares, including Ordinary Shares underlying Warrants or Units, assuming the taking of all necessary corporate action to authorize and approve the issuance of any Ordinary Shares, the terms of the offering thereof and related matters, upon payment of the consideration therefor provided for in the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the board of directors and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the applicable convertible Offered Securities, if any, such Ordinary Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

With respect to the Warrants, assuming the (a) taking of all necessary corporate action to authorize and approve the issuance and terms of any Warrants, the terms of the offering thereof and related matters and (b) due execution, authentication, issuance and delivery of such Warrants upon payment of the consideration therefor provided for in the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the board of directors and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Warrant Agreement, such Warrants will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
5. With respect to the Units, assuming the (a) taking of all necessary corporate action to authorize and approve the issuance and the terms of the Units, the related Unit Agreement and any Offered Securities which are components of the Units, the terms of the offering thereof and related matters and (b) due execution, countersignature (where applicable), authentication, issuance and delivery of the Units and the Offered Securities that are components of such Units in each case upon the payment of the consideration therefor provided for in the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the board of directors, and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Warrant Agreement, in the case of Warrants, such Units will be validly issued and will entitle the holders thereof to the rights specified in the Unit Agreements.
6. Under the laws of Israel, the designation of the law of the State of New York to apply to the Warrant Agreement and the Unit Agreement will be binding upon the Company and, if properly brought to the attention of the court or administrative body in accordance with the laws of Israel, would be enforceable in any judicial or administrative proceeding in Israel subject to the existence of special circumstances or considerations, and as more fully set forth in the Registration Statement, and subject generally to the discretion of the Israeli court ruling on the matter.

Re: | Enlivex Therapeutics Ltd. Post-Effective Amendment to Shelf Registration Statement on Form F-3 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as legal counsel for Enlivex Therapeutics Ltd., a company organized under the Laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation of a post-effective amendment to its currently effective Shelf Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-232009), including the prospectus constituting a part thereof (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), being filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the Company’s offering of up to an aggregate of up to $6,885,079.40 of any combination of: (i) ordinary shares, NIS 0.40 per share, of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”); (ii) warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares (“Warrants”); and (iii) purchase units consisting of Ordinary Shares and Warrants (“Units”); and (iv) the Ordinary Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants or in connection with the Units, as applicable. The Ordinary Shares, Warrants and Units are referred to herein collectively as the “Securities.” The Securities may be issued and sold or delivered from time to time as set forth in the Registration Statement, any amendment thereto, the prospectus contained therein (the “Prospectus”) and supplements to the prospectus (the “Prospectus Supplements”).
The Warrants will be issued under one or more Warrant Agreements (each, a “Warrant Agreement”), each to be between the Company and a counterparty or counterparties identified therein (each, a “Counterparty”). The Units will be issued under a unit agreement (each, a “Unit Agreement”), each to be between the Company and a Counterparty.
In connection with our representation of the Company, and as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following:
(1) | the Registration Statement; |
(2) | an English translation of the Company’s Articles of Association, as amended to the date hereof (the “Charter”); and |
(3) | such other documents and records and other certificates and instruments and matters of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to express the opinions set forth below, in each case subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated herein. |
In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. We have also assumed that (i) at the time of execution, countersignature, issuance and delivery of any Warrants, each Warrant Agreement will be the valid and legally binding obligation of each Counterparty thereto and (ii) at the time of execution, countersignature, and issuance and delivery of any Units, each Unit Agreement will be the valid and legally binding obligation of each Counterparty thereto.
Enlivex Therapeutics Ltd.
February 9, 2021
Page 2
As to matters of fact material to this opinion, we have relied to the extent we deemed reasonably appropriate upon representations or certificates of officers or directors of the Company, without independently verifying the accuracy of such documents, records and instruments.
In connection with the issuance of Warrants, we have assumed further that (i) at the time of execution, countersignature, issuance and delivery of any Warrant Agreement, such Warrant Agreement will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of such Warrant Agreement will not violate the laws of any jurisdiction (provided that as to the federal laws of the United States we make no such assumption).
In connection with the issuance of Units, we have assumed further that (i) at the time of execution, countersignature, issuance and delivery of any Unit Agreement, such Unit Agreement will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of such Unit Agreement will not violate the laws of any jurisdiction (provided that as to the federal laws of the United States we make no such assumption).
We have further assumed that: (i) the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto will be effective under the Securities Act, that no stop orders will have been issued by the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement and that the Registration Statement will comply with all applicable laws at the time the Securities are offered or issued as contemplated by the Registration Statement; (ii) an appropriate Prospectus Supplement, free writing prospectus or term sheet relating to the Securities offered thereby will have been prepared and filed with the Commission in compliance with the Securities Act and will comply with all applicable laws at the time the Securities are offered or issued as contemplated by the Registration Statement; (iii) all Securities will be issued and sold in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the securities or blue sky laws of various states and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the applicable Prospectus Supplement; (iv) any purchase, underwriting or similar agreement relating to Securities being offered will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto; and (v) in connection with the issuance of any Securities, an adequate number of authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares will be available for issuance under the Charter, as then in effect.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that:
(1) | With respect to the Warrants, assuming (i) the taking of all necessary corporate action by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) to approve the execution and delivery of each Warrant Agreement and (ii) the due execution, countersignature, issuance and delivery of such Warrant Agreement upon payment of the consideration therefor provided for in the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement, or the Prospectus or a Prospectus Supplement approved by the Board and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Warrant Agreement and such agreement, such Warrants will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms. |
(2) | With respect to the Units, assuming (i) the taking of all necessary corporate action by the Board to approve (x) the execution and delivery of the applicable Unit Agreements and (y) any Securities to be issued separately or as part of any such Units (ii) the due execution, countersignature, issuance and delivery of such Unit Agreements upon payment of the consideration therefor provided for in the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement, or the Prospectus or a Prospectus Supplement approved by the Board and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Unit Agreements and such agreement, such Units will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms. |
