Item 4. | Description of Securities. |
Not applicable.
Item 5. | Interests of Named Experts and Counsel. |
Not applicable.
Item 6. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors to indemnify them against certain liabilities and expenses arising from their being a director to the maximum extent permitted by Jersey law. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Subject to the Jersey Companies Law, our Articles permit us to indemnify any director against any liability, to purchase and maintain insurance against any liability for any director and to provide any director with funds (whether by loan or otherwise) to meet expenditures incurred or to be incurred by him in defending any criminal, regulatory or civil proceedings or in connection with an application for relief (or to enable any such director to avoid incurring such expenditure).
However, Article 77 of the Jersey Companies Law limits the ability of a Jersey company to exempt or indemnify a director from any liability arising from acting as a director. It provides that neither a company (or any of its subsidiaries) nor any other person for some benefit conferred or detriment suffered directly or indirectly by the company may exempt or indemnify any director from, or against, any liability incurred by him as a result of being a director of the company except where the company exempts or indemnifies him against:
(a) | any liabilities incurred in defending any proceedings (whether civil or criminal): |
(i) | in which judgment is given in his or her favor or he or she is acquitted; |
(ii) | which are discontinued otherwise than for some benefit conferred by him or her or on his or her behalf or some detriment suffered by him or her; or |
(iii) | which are settled on terms which include such benefit or detriment and, in the opinion of a majority of the directors of the company (excluding any director who conferred such benefit or on whose behalf such benefit was conferred or who suffered such detriment), he or she was substantially successful on the merits in his or her resistance to the proceedings; or |
(b) | any liability incurred otherwise than to the company if he or she acted in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company; |
(c) | any liability incurred in connection with an application made under Article 212 of the Jersey Companies Law in which relief is granted to him or her by the court; or |
(d) | any liability against which the company normally maintains insurance for persons other than directors. |
Article 77 of the Jersey Companies Law permits a company to purchase and maintain directors and officers insurance and we maintain a directors and officers liability insurance policy for the benefit of our directors and officers.

Item 9. | Undertakings. |
(a) The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(i) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(1) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(2) 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 a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(3) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(i)(1) and (a)(i)(2) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic 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;
(ii) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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; and
(iii) 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.
(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the 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 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 Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Dear Sirs
NovoCure Limited (the Company) - Registration of Shares under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) share option plans
1 | Background |
(a) | In connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (as amended, the Registration Statement) filed by the Company today with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act), you have asked us to furnish our opinion as to the legality of the securities being registered under the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement relates to the registration by the Company under the Act of an aggregate of: |
(i) | an initial maximum of 1,667,785 ordinary shares, no par value, authorized for issuance pursuant to awards under the NovoCure Limited Employee Share Purchase Plan (the ESPP), |
(ii) | an initial maximum of 16,251,143 ordinary shares, no par value, authorized for issuance pursuant to the NovoCure Limited 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the 2015 Plan), |
(iii) | 3,166,929 ordinary shares, no par value, issued or available for issuance upon the exercise of options granted pursuant to the NovoCure Limited 2013 Share Option Plan (the 2013 Plan) and |
(iv) | (iv) 7,530,888 ordinary shares, no par value, issued or available for issuance upon the exercise of options granted pursuant to the Standen Limited 2003 Share Option Plan (the 2003 Plan, and together with the ESPP, the 2015 Plan and the 2013 Plan, the Plans), the ordinary shares under the Plans being collectively referred to herein as the Shares. |
(b) | In this opinion, non-assessable means, in relation to a Share, that the consideration for which the Company agreed to issue that Share has been paid in full to the Company, so that no further sum is payable to the Company by any holder of that Share in respect of the purchase price of that Share. |
