Any holders of Company Shares as of the Closing that do not countersign this Agreement shall become Selling Shareholder parties hereto by virtue of ‎Section 2.9 below.

 

Section 2.9 Section 341 Action.

 

(a) By executing this Agreement, the Selling Shareholders executing this Agreement on the date hereof (“Executing Shareholders”), who collectively hold more than 95% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, have, and are deemed to have, accepted an offer by Purchaser to purchase their Company Shares in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement, in accordance with Section 341 of the Companies Law and Article 26 of the Company’s Articles of Association (the “Company Articles”).

 

(b) This Agreement shall be deemed, for the purpose of Section 341(a) of the Companies Law and Article 26 of Company Articles, to constitute with respect to the Company (i) an offer by Purchaser for the purchase of all issued and outstanding share capital of the Company which is conditioned upon the sale of all of the outstanding share capital of the Company and (ii) an acceptance of such offer by all Executing Shareholders.

 

(c) Within three (3) Business Days after the date hereof, the Company shall, in accordance with Section 341 of the Companies Law and the Company Articles, provide a written notice on behalf of the Purchaser (the “Bring-Along Notice”) to each of its shareholders who is a Non Executing Shareholder, setting forth the information required by Section 341(a) of the Companies Law and the Company Articles and offering such Non Executing Shareholder to sell all of its Company Shares to the Purchaser under the terms and conditions of this Agreement and become a Selling Shareholder party to this Agreement. The Purchaser and the Company shall fully coordinate any correspondence to which each may be a party which concerns the Bring-Along Notice. Purchaser and the Company shall take such other actions as may be commercially reasonably appropriate in order to complete the transfer of all Company Shares under Section 341 of the Companies Law and the Company Articles under the terms and conditions of this Agreement including in making all reasonable filings and taking such other reasonable action which is necessary or desirable to effect the Transaction with respect to all the securities of the Company outstanding as of the Closing in compliance with Section 341 of the Companies Law and the Company’s Articles. After satisfactory completion of the necessary procedures under Section 341 of the Companies Law and the Company’s Articles and provided that no injunction against the Transaction is issued by a competent court and is not removed, at the Closing the Company shall register the transfer of all the respective Company Shares held by all of its Non Executing Shareholders as of the Closing to the Purchaser and all consideration payable under this Agreement with respect to such Company Shares transferred by such Non Executing Shareholders shall be deposited at Closing with the Company in accordance with Section 341 of the Companies Law, for distribution to the Non Executing Shareholders, provided, however that the pro rata share out of such consideration which is payable to the Escrow Agent in respect of the Company Shares held by the Non Executing Shareholders, shall be included in the amounts delivered to the Escrow Agent at the Closing and upon distribution of any amounts from the Escrow Agent, shall be transferred by the Escrow Agent to the Purchaser or its designee for further distribution to the Non Executing Shareholders in accordance with Section 341 of the Companies Law. The Non Executing Shareholders shall only be entitled to receive the consideration payable thereto hereunder after they comply with all conditions to receive such consideration set forth in this Agreement (including delivering all documents under ‎Article VIII).

 

14

 

 

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, following the process described above, the term “Selling Shareholder” shall also include all respective Non-Executing Shareholders and each such Non-Executing Shareholder shall be deemed to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except to the extent that doing so would be inconsistent with the provisions of Section 341 of the Companies Law.

 

Section 2.10 Withholding Tax.

 

(a) Right to Withhold. Each of the Escrow Agent, Paying Agent, and the Purchaser (each, a “Payor”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Payor determines to be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any Applicable Law, including, without limitation, to withhold from the Cash Consideration payable to any Selling Shareholders any amount required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any Applicable Law with respect to the Consideration Shares payable to such Selling Shareholder and/or any SAFE Investors entitled to Consideration Shares. Any withholding made in NIS with respect to payments made hereunder in US dollars shall be calculated in such manner as the Payor determines to be in compliance with Applicable Law. To the extent that such amounts are so withheld by the Payor, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. All withheld amounts shall be promptly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority by the Payor, as applicable, and proper documentation shall be provided by the Payor to the applicable Selling Shareholders and/or any applicable SAFE Investors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amount required to be withheld with respect to Consideration Shares shall be funded first through a reduction from any portion of the applicable Cash Consideration otherwise payable to a Selling Shareholder and/or applicable SAFE Investors, and to the extent there is insufficient cash to permit such withholding, through the forfeiture or sale of the portion of the Consideration Shares otherwise deliverable to such Selling Shareholder and/or applicable SAFE Investors. For the avoidance of doubt, the withholding amount from Consideration Shares shall be calculated based on the higher of: (1) the price of Purchaser’s Consideration Shares on Nasdaq on the date of the actual payment; or (2) the price of Purchaser’s Consideration Shares on Nasdaq on the Closing Date. Any currency conversion or sale of Purchaser’s Consideration Shares commissions will be borne by the applicable Selling Shareholder and/or applicable SAFE Investors and deducted from payments to be made to such Selling Shareholder and/or applicable SAFE Investors. Each Selling Shareholder and/or applicable SAFE Investors hereby waives, releases, and absolutely and forever discharges Purchaser and any other Payor from and against any and all claims for any losses in connection with the forfeiture or sale of any portion of the Purchaser’s Consideration Shares otherwise deliverable to such Selling Shareholder and/or applicable SAFE Investors in connection with the compliance with the withholding requirements and the other terms set forth in this Section.

 

15

 

 

(b) Notwithstanding ‎Section 2.10(a) above, in respect of Israeli withholding, if the Paying Agent provides Purchaser, prior to the Closing Date, with an undertaking as required under Section 6.2.4.3 of the Income Tax Circular 19/2018 (Transaction for Sale of Rights in a Corporation that includes Consideration that will be transferred to the Seller at Future Dates) (the “Paying Agent Undertaking”), the Cash Consideration and/or the Consideration Shares, as applicable, payable by Purchaser under this Agreement at the Closing, shall be transferred to the Paying Agent without any deduction or withholding of Israeli Taxes, and any amounts payable to each Person who is eligible for payment pursuant to this Agreement (“Payee”) (other than holders of Company 102 Securities) shall be retained by the Paying Agent for the benefit of such Payee for a period of up to one-hundred eighty (180) days from the Closing (or, with respect to any amounts released from the Escrowed Funds and any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable after the Closing, 90 days from the date of such payment) or an earlier date required in writing by such Payee or as otherwise requested by the ITA (the “Withholding Drop Date”) during which time Payor shall not withhold any Israeli Tax from amounts paid pursuant to this Agreement, except as provided below or as requested by the ITA and during which time, such Payee may obtain (or, if one already exists, present to the Paying Agent) a valid certification or ruling (which, for avoidance of doubt, includes Purchaser’s opportunity to review, comment on and approve any application to the ITA before submission, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), issued by the ITA and applicable to the payments to be made to the Payee pursuant to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Paying Agent and Purchaser (x) exempting the Payor from the duty to withhold Israeli Taxes with respect to payment to such Payee, (y) determining the applicable rate of Israeli Tax to be withheld from the payment to such Payee, or (z) providing any other written instructions with respect to withholding of Israeli Taxes (the “Valid Tax Certificate”). In the event that no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date a Payee submits to Purchaser and the Paying Agent, a Valid Tax Certificate, the Paying Agent, shall act in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Tax Certificate, subject to any deduction and withholding as may be required to be deducted and withheld under Applicable Law (other than Israeli Tax law), and the balance of the payment that is not withheld shall be promptly paid to such Payee. If a Payee: (A) does not provide Purchaser or the Paying Agent with a Valid Tax Certificate no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date or (B) submits a written request to Purchaser and the Paying Agent to release its portion of the applicable payment payable in cash or in shares of Purchaser prior to the Withholding Drop Date and fails to submit a Valid Tax Certificate at or before such time, then the amount to be withheld and transferred to the ITA from the amounts payable to such Payee shall be calculated according to the applicable withholding rate in accordance with the Tax Ordinance (calculated in NIS based on the published US$:NIS exchange rate of the Bank of Israel on the actual payment date to such Payee), which amount shall be delivered or caused to be delivered to the ITA by the Paying Agent, and the Paying Agent shall release to such Payee the balance of the amount due to such Payee that is not so withheld, subject to any deduction and withholding as may be required to be deducted and withheld under applicable Tax law (other than Israeli Tax law).

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any payments made to holders of Company 102 Securities will be subject to deduction or withholding of Israeli Tax under the Tax Ordinance on the sixteenth (16th) day of the calendar month following the month during which the Closing occurs, unless prior to the 16th day of the calendar month following the month on which the Closing occurs, a Valid Tax Certificate was duly provided to the 102 Trustee in which case the provisions of ‎Section 2.10 above shall apply.

Section 2.14 Purchase Price Adjustment.

 

(a) Closing Statement. The Company has delivered to the Purchaser the Closing Statement, attached hereto as Exhibit R, which sets forth in good faith and in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles: (i) Closing Cash; (ii) Closing Indebtedness; and (iii) unpaid Transaction Expenses, in each case as of the close of business on March 26, 2026, determined in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles. The Closing Statement includes reasonable supporting detail and documentation and has been certified, in a manner accepted by the Purchaser, by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer as true and correct in all respects as of March 26, 2026.

 

(b) The Purchaser has reviewed the Closing Statement and such additional supporting documentation as the Purchaser has reasonably requested, and the Closing Statement as attached hereto as Exhibit R has been agreed upon by the parties. The agreement by the Purchaser on the Closing Statement shall not limit or otherwise affect the Purchaser’s remedies under this Agreement in the event of any inaccuracy therein, or constitute an acknowledgment by the Purchaser of the accuracy thereof for purposes of the representations, warranties, and indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

 

(c) Closing Adjustment. At the Closing, the consideration payable to the Selling Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(iv) shall be adjusted based on the Closing Statement as follows: (i) the Cash Consideration payable to the Selling Shareholders shall be decreased by the Closing Indebtedness and the Transaction Expenses, in each case as set forth in the Closing Statement; and (ii) the net effect of such adjustments shall be reflected in the aggregate cash payment made by Purchaser to the Selling Shareholders at Closing, as set forth in Section 2.03(a)(iv). For the avoidance of doubt, the Consideration Shares shall not be adjusted at Closing. The Closing adjustment is subject to the post-closing adjustment process set forth in the remainder of this Section 2.14.

 

19

 

 

(d) Post-Closing Statement. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall have the right (but not the obligation) to prepare and deliver to the Shareholders Representative a written statement (the “Purchaser Closing Statement”) setting forth the Purchaser’s determination of (i) Closing Cash, (ii) Closing Indebtedness, and (iii) unpaid Transaction Expenses, in each case as of the close of business on March 26, 2026, determined in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles, together with the Purchaser’s calculation of the Adjusted Purchase Price based thereon (the “Purchaser Draft Adjusted Purchase Price”). If the Purchaser does not deliver a Purchaser Closing Statement within such ninety (90) day period, the Closing Statement shall be deemed the Final Closing Statement for all purposes hereunder. The Purchaser shall provide the Shareholders Representative and its Representatives, subject to a reasonable confidentiality undertaking by the Shareholder Representative, with reasonable access to the books, records, and working papers of the Company Group used in preparing the Purchaser Closing Statement.

 

(e) Review Period. The Shareholders Representative shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Purchaser Closing Statement (the “Review Period”) to review and deliver to the Purchaser a written notice of any dispute therewith (a “Dispute Notice”), or acceptance of the Purchaser Closing Statement (“Representative Acceptance Notice”). The Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the items or amounts in dispute, the basis for such dispute, the Shareholders Representative’s proposed resolution of each disputed item, and reasonable supporting documentation for each disputed item. If the Shareholders Representative does not deliver a Dispute Notice within the Review Period, the Purchaser Closing Statement as delivered by the Purchaser shall be deemed final, binding, and conclusive on the parties.

 

(f) Resolution of Disputes. If a Dispute Notice is timely delivered, the Purchaser and the Shareholders Representative shall negotiate in good faith for a period of fifteen (15) days following delivery of the Dispute Notice to resolve the disputed items in the Purchaser Closing Statement. If the Purchaser and the Shareholders Representative are unable to resolve any disputed items within such fifteen (15) day period, the remaining disputed items shall be submitted for resolution to an independent accounting firm of international reputation mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Shareholders Representative (the “Independent Accountant”). The Independent Accountant shall act as an expert, not an arbitrator, and shall determine only those items still in dispute. The Independent Accountant’s determination of each disputed item shall not be greater than the highest value or less than the lowest value assigned to such item by the Purchaser or the Shareholders Representative, respectively. The Independent Accountant shall render its determination within thirty (30) days after its engagement. The determination of the Independent Accountant shall be final, binding, and conclusive on the parties; provided, that this provision shall not prohibit either the Purchaser or the Shareholders Representative from instituting litigation to enforce the ruling of the Independent Accountant or from making claims for breach or indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The term “Final Closing Statement” shall mean: (i) the Closing Statement attached as Exhibit R, if the Purchaser delivers does not timely deliver a Purchaser Closing Statement; (ii) the Purchaser Closing Statement, if the Shareholders Representative delivers a Representative Acceptance Notice or fails to timely deliver a Dispute Notice; or (iii) the Purchaser Closing Statement as adjusted pursuant to the Independent Accountant’s resolution of the disputed items.

 

The “Final Adjusted Purchase Price” shall mean the Adjusted Purchase Price calculated using the figures set forth in the Final Closing Statement (i.e., the actual Closing Cash, actual Closing Indebtedness, and actual unpaid Transaction Expenses as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.14). Purchaser and the Shareholder Representative will each bear their own fees and expenses, including the fees and expenses of their respective accountants, in preparing or reviewing, as the case may be, the Purchaser Closing Statement. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated to and borne by Purchaser and the Shareholder Representative, on behalf of the Selling Shareholders, based on the inverse of the percentage that the Independent Accountant’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the disputed items originally submitted to the Independent Accountant. For example, should the disputed items total $1,000 and the Independent Accountant awards $600 in favor of the Shareholder Representative’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the costs of its review would be borne by Purchaser and forty percent (40%) of the costs would be borne by the Shareholder Representative on behalf of the Selling Shareholders. However, Purchaser and the Shareholder Representative will each bear its own costs in presenting its position regarding any disputed items to the Independent Accountant.

(ii) If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, Purchaser shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Final Resolution Date, deliver to the Paying Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an aggregate amount equal to the Adjustment Amount, for further distribution to the Selling Shareholders, each in accordance with Exhibit C.

 

(iii) If the Adjustment Amount is zero (0), no adjustment will be made.

 

(iv) Any post-closing adjustment payments made under this ‎Section 2.14(g) shall be treated as adjustments to the Adjusted Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.

 

(v) The “Adjustment Amount” shall be an amount (which may be expressed as a positive or negative number) equal to (A) the Adjusted Purchase Price calculated based on the Final Closing Statement, minus (B) the Adjusted Purchase Price calculated based on the Closing Statement attached as Exhibit R.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Adjusted Purchase Price, Final Adjusted Purchase Price, and Adjustment Amount shall not be adjusted for any IIA Obligations, or any cash amounts wired by Purchaser to the Company prior to the Closing Date (which, as of the date of this Agreement, amount to NIS 721,000) (the “Purchaser Funding”; the Purchaser Funding not yet used by the Company shall be referred to hereunder as the “Purchaser Unused Funding” and the Purchaser Funding used by the Company shall be referred to hereunder as the “Purchaser Used Funding”), as reflected in Exhibit S that shall be updated as of the Closing Date. The IIA Obligations shall remain with the Company following the Closing and shall not constitute Company Debt or Closing Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 2.14. Any Purchaser Unused Funding held in the Company’s bank accounts resulting from the Purchaser Funding or Cash in general shall not be allocated to the Selling Shareholders and shall remain with the Company as working capital for post-Closing activities of the Company (and not counted as Cash for the sake of adjustments under this Agreement or otherwise).

(ii) containing the amount which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled to receive as indemnification pursuant to this Article X (the aggregate amount of shares or cash claimed by such Indemnified Party being referred to as the “Claimed Amount”); and

 

(iii) containing a brief description (based upon the information then possessed by such Indemnified Party) of the material facts known to the Indemnified Party giving rise to such claim.

 

67

 

 

(b) Dispute Procedure. During the twenty (20) day period commencing upon the date that notice of an Officer’s Claim Certificate is given or deemed duly given pursuant to ‎Section 12.8 below to an Addressee (the “Dispute Period”), the Addressee may deliver to the Delivering Party a written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the Addressee: (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party; (ii) agrees that part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) is owed to the Indemnified Party; or (iii) indicates that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party. Any part of the Claimed Amount that is not an Agreed Amount shall be referred to as a “Contested Amount”. If a Response Notice is not duly given to the Delivering Party prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, then the Addressee shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party.

 

(c) Payment of Claimed Amount. If: (a) the Addressee delivers a Response Notice agreeing that the full Claimed Amount or an Agreed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party; or (b) the Addressee does not deliver a Response Notice during the Dispute Period, then, subject to the limitation of liability provisions contained herein, the following shall occur, subject to ‎Section 10.4(f):

 

(i) if the Indemnified Party is a Purchaser Indemnified Party, the Escrow Agent shall disburse to such Purchaser Indemnified Party the Claimed Amount or the Agreed Amount (and in the event of cash amount, through the Purchaser’s Account, as defined in the Escrow Agreement), as applicable, calculated pursuant ‎Section 2.7(b) above, within five (5) Business Days following the end of the Dispute Period, out of the relevant Selling Shareholder’s part in the Escrowed Funds; provided that with respect to any cash component that is deposited in the Escrowed Funds on behalf of a Selling Shareholder who is an Indemnifying Party, the Purchaser may instruct the Escrow Agent to release to the Purchaser first the cash component and then, if the cash component is lower than the Claimed Amount or the Agreed Amount, as applicable, the shares component of such Indemnifying Party’s respective Escrowed Funds.

 

(ii) In the event of a Claimed Amount which was required due to a breach of a Sellers Fundamental Representation or due to willful breach, intentional misrepresentation or fraud by a Selling Shareholder- if the respective Escrowed Funds disbursed to Purchaser pursuant to ‎Section 10.4(c)(i) shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Claimed Amount or the Agreed Amount, the relevant Selling Shareholder shall pay the Purchaser its respective Participation Portion of the excess of the Agreed Amount or Claimed Amount, as applicable, over the disbursed Escrowed Funds within three (3) calendar days following the end of the Dispute Period.

 

(iii) if the Indemnified Party is a Selling Shareholder Indemnified Party, the Purchaser shall pay such Indemnified Party the Agreed Amount or Claimed Amount, as applicable, if so requested by the Indemnified Party, in cash (and not in ordinary shares of Purchaser), within three (3) calendar days following the end of the Dispute Period.

 

(d) Resolution between the Parties. If the Addressee delivers a Response Notice indicating that there is a Contested Amount, the Shareholders Representative, or, in case of a dispute between Purchaser and specific Selling Shareholders, such specific Selling Shareholders, and the Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount. If the Purchaser and the Shareholders Representative or such Selling Shareholder, as applicable, resolve such dispute, such resolution shall be binding on the Shareholders Representative, the respective Selling Shareholders and the Purchaser and a settlement agreement stipulating the amount owed to the Indemnified Parties (the “Stipulated Amount”) shall be signed by Purchaser and the Shareholders Representative or Selling Shareholder, as applicable, and the Stipulated Amount shall be disbursed pursuant to the terms of ‎Section 10.4(c) as if such amount was an Agreed Amount.

 

68

 

 

(e) Dispute Resolution. If the Shareholders Representative, or, in case of a dispute between Purchaser and a specific Selling Shareholder, such specific Selling Shareholder, and the Purchaser are unable to resolve the dispute relating to any Contested Amount within thirty (30) calendar days after the date that the Response Notice is given or is deemed duly given pursuant to ‎Section 12.8 to the Addressee, then either the Purchaser or the Shareholders Representative, or specific Selling Shareholder, as applicable, may submit the claim described in the Officer’s Claim Certificate to arbitration to be conducted by a sole arbitrator and in accordance with the rules of the Israeli Arbitration Law - 1968 (the “Arbitration Law”), except as otherwise provided herein. The arbitration shall be conducted in Tel-Aviv, Israel or such other place mutually acceptable to the Purchaser and the Shareholders Representative or specific Selling Shareholder, as applicable. The arbitrator shall have the necessary expertise required in order to review the materials provided by the parties and shall have the necessary expertise in arbitrating commercial matters underlying the Contested Amount (the “Arbitrator”) to be appointed by the Shareholders Representative, or specific Selling Shareholder, as applicable, and the Purchaser, and if no agreement is reached on the identity of the Arbitrator within ten (10) days following the submission of such dispute to arbitration, the identity of the Arbitrator will be determined by the President of the Israeli Bar Association. The parties to such dispute agree to use all reasonable efforts to cause the arbitration hearing to be conducted within sixty (60) days after the appointment of the Arbitrator and to use all reasonable efforts to cause the decision of the Arbitrator to be furnished within fifteen (15) days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing. The Arbitrator’s authority shall be confined to: (i) deciding whether the Indemnified Party is entitled to recover the Contested Amount (or a portion thereof), and the portion of the Contested Amount the Indemnified Party is entitled to recover; and (ii) awarding expenses of the arbitration proceedings pursuant to this Section. The Arbitrator shall not be bound by procedural law or rules of evidence and shall have no authority to issue any injunctions, orders or other interlocutory remedies, but will rule consistent with the substantive law of the State of Israel. Pending the Arbitrator’s award, the costs and expenses of the Arbitrator shall be borne equally by Purchaser and the Shareholders Representative or specific Selling Shareholder, as applicable. The award of the Arbitrator shall be in writing, state the reasons upon which it is based, and shall be final and binding upon the parties. Any arbitration proceeding hereunder and the content of any discussions or communications with the Arbitrator shall be conducted on a confidential basis, shall be subject to such disclosure restrictions imposed on the parties under any Applicable Law and the Arbitrator shall be required to execute, prior to the commencement of its service, Purchaser’s standard confidentiality agreement. Any amount payable to an Indemnified Party according to a written decision of the Arbitrator shall be disbursed pursuant to the terms of ‎Section 10.4(c) as if such amount was an Agreed Amount. Any ruling or decision of the Arbitrator may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. This Section constitutes an Arbitration Agreement in accordance with the Arbitration Law. In the event of any contradiction between the provisions hereof and the Arbitration Law, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

 

(f) Form of Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amount payable under this ‎Article X may be paid with ordinary shares of the Purchaser (i.e., either (i) as forfeiture of such shares from the Escrowed Funds, with respect to an indemnification of any Purchaser Indemnified Party, or (ii) through the issuance by the Purchaser of additional shares, with respect to an indemnification of any Selling Shareholders Indemnified Party) or, at the election of the Indemnifying Party, in cash; provided that the value of each ordinary share of the Purchaser for the purpose of calculating the amount of shares payable as indemnification in lieu of a cash payment shall be equal to the Purchaser Share Current Value and provided further that in the event that a cash payment hereunder to Purchaser in lieu of release of ordinary shares from the Escrowed Funds, an amount of ordinary shares of the Purchaser equal to such cash payment calculated based on the Purchaser Share Current Value shall be released to the respective Selling Shareholders by the Escrow Agent from the Escrowed Funds. In the event that any amount payable by the Selling Shareholders under this ‎Article X is paid with ordinary shares of the Purchaser released from the Escrowed Funds, or in the event that any part of the Purchaser’s ordinary shares held in the Escrowed Funds is replaced with cash, pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Transfer Agent, with a copy to the Shareholders Representative, irrevocable written instructions to (i) issue in the name of the respective Selling Shareholders new certificates representing the new number of ordinary shares of the Purchaser to be held in escrow following such release or replacement of shares and to deliver such certificates to the Escrow Agent upon surrender and cancellation of the certificates held then by the Escrow Agent, and (ii) issue in the name of the Purchaser, or its designee, new certificates representing such number of ordinary shares of the Purchaser so released or replaced.

 

69

 

 

(g) Each indemnification claim made by an Indemnified Party shall be made only in accordance with this ‎Article X and the Escrow Agreement.

 

Section 10.5 Defense of Third-Party Claims.

 

In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any Proceeding (whether against the Company, the Purchaser or any other Person) with respect to which any Selling Shareholder may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this ‎Article X, then Purchaser shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense of such Proceeding on its own. If Purchaser so proceeds with the defense of any such Proceeding:

 

(a) each Selling Shareholder shall make available to Purchaser any documents, materials and other information in his possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or Proceeding; and

 

(b) Purchaser shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such Proceeding; provided, however, that if Purchaser settles, adjusts or compromises any such Proceeding without the consent of the Shareholders Representative or specific Selling Shareholder, as applicable, such settlement, adjustment or compromise shall not be conclusive evidence of the amount of Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection with such Proceeding (it being understood that if Purchaser requests that such Shareholders Representative or Selling Shareholder consent to a settlement, adjustment or compromise, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided that withholding, delaying or conditioning such consent will not be deemed to be unreasonable if such settlement, adjustment or compromise does not provide full release of the claims raised against the respective Selling Shareholders in such Proceeding).

 

Purchaser shall give the Shareholders Representative or such specific Selling Shareholder, as applicable, prompt notice of the commencement of any such Proceeding against Purchaser or the Company and provide information reasonably requested by such Shareholders Representative or Selling Shareholder, as applicable, and not subject to attorney-client privilege of Purchaser or the Purchaser Indemnified Parties relating to such claim; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Purchaser to so notify such Shareholders Representative or Selling Shareholder, as applicable, and provide such information shall not limit any of the obligations of the respective Selling Shareholder(s) under ‎Article X (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Proceeding). If Purchaser does not elect to proceed with the defense of any such claim or Proceeding, the Shareholders Representative or Selling Shareholder, as applicable, may proceed with the defense of such claim or Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser; provided, however, that such Shareholders Representative or Selling Shareholder, as applicable, may not settle, adjust or compromise any such claim or Proceeding without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, provided that withholding, delaying or conditioning such consent will not be deemed to be unreasonable if such settlement, adjustment or compromise does not provide full release of the claims raised against the Purchaser or the Company in such Proceeding).

 

Section 10.6 No Contribution.

 

No Selling Shareholder shall have, or be entitled to exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against the Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which he may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement.

 

70

 

 

Section 10.7 Tax Impact.

 

The parties hereto agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this ‎Article X as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, as the case may be, for Tax purposes. Furthermore, the amount of any Losses claimed by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article X shall be reduced by (i) the value of any net tax benefit resulting from such Loss to the extent such net tax benefit is actually realized by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in or before the taxable year during which such indemnity payment is to be made and (ii) the amount of any insurance proceeds (net of Taxes) actually received by Indemnified Party related to such Losses.

 

Section 10.8 Additional Provisions.

 

(a) Effect of Disclosure Schedules. For purposes of this Agreement, each statement or other item of information set forth in a Company Disclosure Schedule or Selling Shareholder Disclosure Schedule or the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty made by such Company or Selling Shareholder or Purchaser, as applicable, in this Agreement.

 

Section 10.9 Set-Off. Purchaser shall have the right to set off any amount that it is entitled to receive from any Selling Shareholder pursuant to this Article X (after taking into account the limitations set forth in this Article X) against any amount otherwise payable by Purchaser to such Selling Shareholder under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(b) No failure on the part of any Person to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Person in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy.
