The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Underwriter or to any affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person of that Underwriter.
(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Marketing Materials or Blue Sky Application, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Marketing Materials or Blue Sky Application, any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Underwriter furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of that Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, which information is limited to the information set forth in Section 8(e). The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have to the Company or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided , however , that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 8 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) by such failure and, provided , further , that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however , that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the indemnified party and those other indemnified parties and their respective directors, officers, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Section 8 if (i) the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party and its directors, officers, employees and controlling persons shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified parties or their respective directors, officers, employees or controlling persons, on the one hand, and the indemnifying party, on the other hand, and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and in any such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall (x) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party, or (y) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 8(a) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request or disputed in good faith the indemnified party’s entitlement to such reimbursement prior to the date of such settlement.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a), in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, from the offering of the Shares, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Shares purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the offering of the Shares purchased under this Agreement, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the other hand. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 8(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Shares exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.
(e) The Underwriters severally confirm and the Company acknowledges and agrees that the statements set forth on the cover page of, and the concession and reallowance figures and the paragraph relating to stabilization by the Underwriters appearing under the caption “Underwriting” in, the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus are correct and constitute the only information concerning such Underwriters furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Marketing Materials.
9. Defaulting Underwriters .
(a) If, on any Delivery Date, any Underwriter defaults in its obligations to purchase the Shares that it has agreed to purchase under this Agreement, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Shares by the non-defaulting Underwriters or other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Shares, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Shares on such terms. In the event that within the respective prescribed periods, the non-defaulting Underwriters notify the Company that they have so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, or the Company notifies the non-defaulting Underwriters that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may postpone such Delivery Date for up to seven full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any such other document or arrangement that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise, any party not listed in Schedule I hereto that, pursuant to this Section 9, purchases Shares that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the total number of the Shares that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the total number of shares of all the Shares, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the total number of shares of Shares that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the total number of shares of Shares that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Shares of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; provided that the non-defaulting Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the total number of Shares that it agreed to purchase on such Delivery Date pursuant to the terms of Section 2.
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the total number of Shares that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the total number of all the Shares, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Sections 6 and 11 and except that the provisions of Section 8 shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.
(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.
10. Termination. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to and received by the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Firm Shares if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 7(m) and 7(n) shall have occurred or if the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Shares for any reason permitted under this Agreement.
11. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If (a) the Company shall fail to tender the Shares for delivery to the Underwriters for any reason, or (b) the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Shares for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters) incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Shares, and upon demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to the Representatives. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9 by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, the Company shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Underwriter on account of those expenses.
12. Research Analyst Independence. The Company acknowledges that the Underwriters’ research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that such Underwriters’ research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company and/or the offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the Underwriters with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company by such Underwriters’ investment banking divisions.

The foregoing paragraph shall not apply to (a) transactions relating to Ordinary Shares or other securities acquired in the open market after the completion of the Offering, (b) bona fide gifts, sales or other dispositions of shares of any class of the Company’s capital stock, (c) the exercise of share options granted pursuant to the Company’s share option/incentive plans or otherwise outstanding on the date the Underwriting Agreement is entered into; provided , that the restrictions shall apply to Ordinary Shares issued upon such exercise or conversion, (d) the establishment of any contract, instruction or plan that satisfies all of the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 (a “ Rule 10b5-1 Plan ”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”); provided , however , that no sales of Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Ordinary Shares, shall be made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 Plan prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (as the same may be extended pursuant to the provisions hereof); provided further , that the Company is not required to report the establishment of such Rule 10b5-1 Plan in any public report or filing with the Commission under the Exchange Act during the lock-up period and does not otherwise voluntarily effect any such public filing or report regarding such Rule 10b5-1 Plan, (e) any transfer to a trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, (f) if the undersigned is not an individual, any transfer or pledge to the undersigned’s subsidiaries, affiliates or any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by, or under common control or management with, the undersigned; provided that it shall be a condition to any transfer pursuant to clauses (b), (e) and (f) that (i) the transferee/donee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Letter Agreement (including, without limitation, the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence) to the same extent as if the transferee/donee were a party hereto, and (ii) each party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) shall not be required by law (including without limitation the disclosure requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), and the Exchange Act to make, and shall agree to not voluntarily make, any filing or public announcement of the transfer or disposition prior to the expiration of the 180-day period referred to above, (g) any transfer to the Company solely to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with share options granted pursuant to the Company’s share option/incentive plans or otherwise outstanding on the date the Underwriting Agreement is entered into; provided that any such plan is referred to in the Prospectus relating to the Offering, (h) any transfer by will or intestacy to the undersigned’s legal representative, heir or legatee, (i) if the undersigned is not an individual, any transfer to members, limited partners or stockholders of the undersigned and (j) any demands or requests for, exercise any right with respect to, or take any action in preparation of, the registration by the Company under the Act of the undersigned’s Ordinary Shares, provided that no transfer of the undersigned’s Ordinary Shares registered pursuant to the exercise of any such right and no registration statement shall be filed under the Act with respect to any of the undersigned’s Ordinary Shares during the Lock-Up Period.
Exhibit A- 2 |
If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, (i) the undersigned agrees that the foregoing provisions shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed Shares, as referred to in FINRA Rule 5131(d)(2)(A) that the undersigned may purchase in the Offering pursuant to an allocation of Shares that is directed in writing by the Company, (ii) Barclays Capital Inc. agrees that, at least three business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of Ordinary Shares, Barclays Capital Inc. will notify the Company of the impending release or waiver and (iii) the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to announce the impending release or waiver by issuing a press release through a major news service (as referred to in FINRA Rule 5131(d)(2)(B)) at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by Barclays Capital Inc. hereunder to any such officer or director shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if both (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration, and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this letter that are applicable to the transferor, to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.
In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.
The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters will proceed with the Offering in reliance on this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.
Whether or not the Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters.
This Lock-Up Letter Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (1) the Company notifies the Underwriters that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering; (2) the termination of the Underwriting Agreement before the sale of any Shares to the Underwriters; or (3) December 31, 2019, in the event that the Underwriting Agreement has not been executed by that date.

3 |
13. | Any sum which by the terms of allotment of a share is made payable upon allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the amount of the share or by way of premium, shall for all purposes of these Articles, be deemed to be a call duly made, and payable on the date fixed for payment, and in case of non-payment the provisions of these Articles as to payment of interest and expenses, forfeiture and the like, and all other relevant provisions of these Articles, shall apply as if such sum were a call duly made and notified as hereby provided. |
14. | The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Shareholder willing to advance the same, all or any part of the moneys due upon his shares beyond the sums actually called up thereon, and upon the moneys so paid in advance, or so much thereof as exceeds the amount for the time being called upon on the shares in respect of which such advance has been made, the Directors may pay or allow such interest as may be agreed between them and such Shareholder. |
FORFEITURE AND LIEN
15. | If any Shareholder fails to pay any call or installment by no later than the day appointed for the payment of the same, the Directors may at any time thereafter during such time as the call or installment remains unpaid serve a notice on such Shareholder requiring him to pay the same together with interest and any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non payment. |
16. | The notice shall name a day (being not less than 14 days from the date of such notice) and a place on and at which such call or installment and such interest and expenses as aforesaid are to be paid. The notice shall also state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time and at the place appointed, the shares in respect of which the call was made or installment is payable will be liable to be forfeited. |
17. | If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any shares in respect of which such notice has been given may at any time thereafter (as long as payment of all calls or installments, interest and expenses, due in respect thereof is not fully made), be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all dividends, cash or other, declared in respect of the forfeited shares, whether actually paid or not paid, or whether granted or not granted, before forfeiture, and any other rights applicable to the forfeited share. |
18. | The Directors may sell, re-allot or otherwise dispose of any share so forfeited in such manner as they may think fit, subject to the provisions hereof, whether with or without all or any part of the amount previously paid on the share being credited as paid. Until such re-sale or re-allotment, the forfeited shares shall be deemed to be dormant shares. |
19. | The Directors may, at any time before any shares so forfeited shall have been sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of, annul the forfeiture thereof upon such conditions as they think fit. |
20. | A Shareholder whose shares have been forfeited shall, despite the forfeiture, be liable to pay to the Company all calls made and not paid on such shares up to the time of forfeiture with maximum interest thereon till the date of payment in the same manner in all respects as if the shares had not been forfeited and to satisfy all claims and demands which the Company might have enforced in respect of the shares at the time of forfeiture, without any deduction or allowance for the value of the shares at the time of forfeiture. Such Shareholder's liability shall cease upon receipt by the Company in full of the amount due in respect of the shares so forfeited including interest and expenses. |
21. | The Company shall have a first and paramount lien upon all of the shares (not being fully paid-up) registered in the name of each Shareholder (whether solely or jointly with others) and upon the proceeds of sale thereof for the moneys (whether presently payable or not) called or payable at a fixed time in respect of that share, and the Company shall also have a lien on all shares (other than fully paid-up shares), registered in the name of a Shareholder for all moneys presently payable by him or his estate to the Company, whether such debts are due solely from him or jointly with others. This lien shall also apply to dividends declared from time to time on these shares. The registration of a transfer of shares by the Company shall operate as a waiver of the Company's lien (if any) upon the shares, but shall be without prejudice to the rights of the Company against the transferor for moneys owed for the transferred shares. |
4 |
22. | For the purpose of enforcing such lien the Directors may sell the shares subject thereto in such manner as they think fit, subject to the other provisions herein. However, no sale shall be made until such period as aforesaid shall have arrived and until notice in writing of the intention to sell shall have been served on such Shareholder, his heirs, executors, or administrators and default shall have been made by him or them in payment, fulfillment or discharge of such debts or engagements for 30 days after such notice. |
23. | The net proceeds of any sale of forfeited shares or shares sold by way of executing a lien, after payment of the expenses of such sale, shall be applied in or towards satisfaction of the debts or engagements (including interest) of such Shareholder. From the residue (if any), the Shareholder shall be paid the amount he did pay, if at all, and the same to his heirs, executors, administrators or assignees. |
24. | Upon any sale after forfeiture or enforcement of a lien in purported exercise of the powers hereinbefore given, the Directors will cause the purchaser's name to be entered in the Shareholders Register in respect of the shares sold, and the purchaser shall not be bound to see to the regularity of the proceedings or to the application of the purchase money, and after his name has been entered in the Register in respect of such shares, the validity of the sale shall not be impeached by any person, and the remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale shall be in damages only and against the Company exclusively. |
An affidavit signed by a Director stating that a share has been duly forfeited on a certain date or a lien has been executed, shall be deemed sufficient and conclusive evidence in respect with any person claiming to have rights to said share.
TRANSFER OF SHARES
25. | Until an IPO, and except for transfers of shares as permitted in Articles 25 through 30 below, and except for encumbrance of shares which receive the prior written consent of the Board, no Shareholder may sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber or dispose of in any way, all or any part of or any interest in the Equity Securities to any person (a “ Transfer ”) now or hereafter owned or held by them, except in accordance with the provisions of these Articles. |
Notwithstanding the above-stated and unless approved by the Board, no Shareholder will Transfer Equity Securities to a competitor of the Company as determined by the Board.
Any transfer of shares shall be subject to the prior approval of the Board and shall become effective only if the Shareholder has complied with all of the terms of these Articles and further provided that in the event of a Transfer by a Shareholder that is party to a then in effect agreement between shareholders of the Company, such transferee shall become party to such agreement by executing an agreement to accept all the rights and obligation of the transferring shareholder according to the said agreement. The Board shall be deemed to have approved such transfer within 14 days of the date all the pre-conditions to transfer have been complied with, unless the Board objects to the transfer within the said period. Any Transfer of Equity Securities not made in conformance with these Articles shall be null and void, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company and shall not be recognized by the Company.
BRING ALONG
26. | Bring-Along |
26.1 | Prior to the consummation of an IPO or M&A Transaction and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in the event Shareholders holding more than seventy percent (70%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital, calculated on an as-converted basis (the “ Proposing Holders ”), accept an offer to sell all of their Equity Securities to a buyer (the “ Buyer ”) pursuant to a bona fide written offer, and such sale is conditioned upon the sale of all remaining Equity Securities to the Buyer, then at the closing of such offered purchase of all the issued and outstanding shares of the Company: (i) all of the shareholders of the Company will transfer their shares to such Buyer on the same terms and conditions (the “ Bring Along Sale ”); (ii) all the Shareholders of the Company agree with respect to all Equity Securities of the Company which it/they own(s) or otherwise exercises voting or dispositive authority, as follows: |
5 |
(i) | In the event such transaction is to be brought to a vote at a Shareholders meeting, after receiving proper notice of any meeting of shareholders of the Company, to be present, in person or by proxy, as a holder of shares of voting securities, at all such meetings and be counted for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings; |
(ii) | to vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all shares of the Company as to which it has beneficial ownership in favor of such Bring Along Sale and in opposition of any and all other proposals that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of the Company or the Proposing Holders to consummate such Bring Along Sale; |
(iii) | to execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Bring Along Sale as shall reasonably be requested by the Company; and, neither any of the Shareholders of the Company nor any Affiliates thereof, shall deposit any shares of the Company beneficially owned by such Shareholder or Affiliate in a voting trust or subject any such shares to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such shares unless such trust, arrangement or agreement are subject to the provisions hereof; and the Company will be authorized to cancel all share certificates, to register the shares in the name of the purchaser in the Company’s share register and to issue the purchaser a share certificate representing all shares sold pursuant to this Article. |
26.2 | The aforesaid seventy percent (70%) shareholding requirement is hereby determined also for the purposes of Sections 341 of the Law, and the procedure set forth in Section 341 of the Law regarding the method by which shareholders who do not sign all related documentation shall be forced to sell their securities shall apply. |
27. | The term “Buyer” may include an existing Shareholder or its Affiliates, in which case the vote of the Proposing Holders shall not include such Shareholder’s holdings in calculating the outstanding share capital and the required 70% majority in Article 26 above shall be calculated from the remaining outstanding share capital excluding the holding of the Buyer. |
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
28. | Right of First Refusal |
28.1 | If at any time prior to an IPO any shareholder proposes to transfer Equity Securities to one or more buyers, then such shareholder (“ Transferor ”) shall give the Company written notice of the Transferor’s intention to make the Transfer (“ Transfer Notice ”), which Transfer Notice shall include (i) a description of the Equity Securities to be transferred (“ Offered Shares ”), (ii) the identity of the prospective buyer(s) and (iii) the consideration and the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed Transfer is to be made, including payment terms and closing conditions. The Company shall forward such Transfer Notice to each Qualified Holder. Each Qualified Holder undertakes to hold in strict confidence all the above information disclosed to them with respect to the Offered Shares and to use such information only for the purpose of evaluation whether it wishes to purchase any or all of the Offered Shares from the Transferor pursuant to this Article 28. |
28.2 | Qualified Holders’ Option. Prior to an IPO or an M&A Transaction, the Qualified Holders shall have an option, for a period of fourteen (14) days from receipt of the Transfer Notice, to elect to purchase their respective Pro Rata shares of the Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice. Each Qualified Holder may exercise such purchase option and, thereby, purchase all or any portion of its Pro Rata share of the Offered Shares, by notifying the Transferor and the Company in writing, before expiration of the fourteen (14) day period as to the number of such shares which it wishes to purchase. The Qualified Holder shall further notify the Transferor of any additional shares that such Qualified Holder wishes to purchase (the “ Extra Shares ”), in addition to its Pro Rata shares. Such notices shall be irrevocable. |
6 |
28.3 | Each Qualified Holders’ Pro Rata share of the Offered Shares shall be a fraction of the Offered Shares, of which the number of Equity Securities owned by such Qualified Holder on the date of the Transfer Notice shall be the numerator and the total number of Equity Securities held by all Qualified Holders on the date of the Transfer Notice shall be the denominator. |
28.4 | To the extent that any Offered Shares are not purchased in full by the Qualified Holders (the “ Overallotment Shares ”), those Qualified Holders who have notified the Transferor of their wish to purchase Extra Shares (the “ Electing Holders ”) shall purchase such number of Extra Shares which was requested by such Electing Holder (in addition to their Pro Rata share). In the event that the total number of the requested Extra Shares is greater than the total number of the Overallotment Shares, then each of the Electing Holders shall purchase such number of Overallotment Shares as shall equal the number of Overallotment Shares multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Extra Shares that such Electing Holder has requested to purchase and the denominator shall be the total number of Extra Shares that were requested by the Electing Shareholders, at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the notice to the Transferor. Provided however that such Electing Holder shall not be obligated to purchase more than the number of Extra Shares included in his notice. The Transferor selling the Offered Shares shall notify the Company and each of the Electing Shareholders within five (5) days of the date of the notice given by the Electing Shareholders of the number of the Extra Shares to be purchased by each of them according to the above calculation, if any. |
28.5 | Each Qualified Holder shall be entitled to apportion Offered Shares and the Overallotment Shares to be purchased among its Permitted Transferees, as this term is defined below, provided that such Qualified Holder notifies the Transferor of such allocation. |
28.6 | If a Qualified Holder gives the Transferor notice that it desires to purchase its Pro Rata share of the Offering Shares and, as the case may be, any of the Extra Shares, then payment for its Pro Rata share of the Offered Shares and, as the case may be, its Extra Shares, shall be in the same method as specified in the Transfer Notice, against delivery of the Shares to be purchased at a place agreed upon between the parties according to the payment terms and at the time of the scheduled closing as were intended in the original offer therefore, as set forth in the Transfer Notice. |
28.7 | If the total number of shares requested to be purchased by the Qualified Holders does not reach the number of Offered Shares, the Company may purchase the remaining shares on the same terms as those offered by the Buyer for a period of 7 days. |
28.8 | If the number of shares requested to be purchased by the Qualified Holders and the Company together does not reach the number of Offered Shares, the Transferor may sell the remaining un-purchased Offered Shares or all of the Offered Shares, at the Transferee’s sole discretion, to the Buyer; always provided that: (a) the Board resolves that the admittance of the Buyer as a Shareholder is not detrimental to the Company; (b) the terms of the sale to such Buyer/s shall not be more beneficial to the Buyer/s than those offered in the Transfer Notice, and (c) that the sale to the Buyer/s is completed within 90 days after the expiration of the first refusal period. |
28.9 | Limitations to Rights of Refusal . The right of first refusal as set forth in Article 28 above shall not apply in the following transfers, and such transfers shall not require approval of the Board or the shareholders, and any of the Shareholders (i) may sell, transfer or otherwise assign, with or without consideration, Equity Securities to any: (a) spouse or member of the transferring Shareholder’s immediate family; or (b) between a trustee and beneficiary and vice-a-versa; or (c) in the case of any Shareholder which is a limited or general partnership, to any of its partners or affiliated partnerships managed by the same management company or managing (general) partner or by an entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such management company or managing (general) partner; or (ii) may sell, transfer or otherwise assign, with or without consideration, Equity Securities to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Shareholder and the term control shall have the same meaning as set out in the securities law; (each a " Permitted Transferee "), provided that , such Permitted Transferee has agreed in writing to assume the obligations of the transferor under all agreements involving the Company and these Articles including undertakings towards the Office of the Chief Scientist if the transferee is a foreign citizen or entity, restrictions on transferability and more.. Additionally, the Right of First Refusal shall not apply in an event of Bring Along as set forth in Article 26 above. |
7 |
29. | No transfer of shares shall be registered unless the transferor delivers to the Company a duly signed proper instrument of transfer in a form approved by the Company, and the transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the shares until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect thereof. |
Every transfer must be in writing and signed by both the transferor and the transferee.
Such transfer form must be duly stamped (if needed according to law), must be left at the Office, accompanied by the certificate of the Shares to be transferred, and such other evidence (if any) as the Directors may require to prove the title of the intending Transferor.
30. | The Directors may refuse to register transfer of shares that are not fully paid up. |
The Directors may refuse transfer to a Person whose holding of shares may, in their reasonable judgment, be detrimental to the Company.
The Directors may suspend transfer of shares during the 14 days period prior to a General Meeting.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES
31. | In the case of the death, liquidation, bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up or a similar occurrence regarding a Shareholder, the legal successors of such Shareholder shall be the only persons recognized by the Company as having any title to his shares, but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of the predecessor from any liability in respect of any share held by him. |
The legal successors may, upon producing such evidence of title as the Directors shall require, be registered themselves as the holder/s of the share/s, or subject to the provisions as to transfers herein contained, transfer the same to some other person.
32. | A person entitled to shares by transmission as set forth in Article 31 above shall not be entitled with respect of such shares to receive notices of, or to attend or vote at meetings of the Company, or, save as aforesaid, to exercise any of the rights or privileges of a Shareholder, except with respect to accrue dividends or other moneys payable in respect of such shares, unless and until he shall become and be registered as a Shareholder with respect of such shares. |

33. | Subject to the other provisions of these Articles, the General Meeting may from time to time resolve to: |

33.3 | Consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger or smaller amounts than the existing shares. |
33.4 | Cancel any shares not taken or agreed to be taken by any Person. |

MODIFICATION OF CLASS RIGHTS
36. | If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may be varied by a resolution passed at a separate General Meeting of the holders of the shares of the said class. The provisions of these Articles relating to General Meetings shall, mutatis mutandis, apply to any class meeting. |
GENERAL MEETINGS
37. | Annual General Meetings shall be held at least once in every calendar year, at such time not being more than fifteen (15) months after the holding of the last preceding Annual General Meeting, and at such place as may be determined by the Directors. Such General Meetings shall be called "Annual Meetings" and all other meetings of the Shareholders shall be called "Special Meetings". The Annual Meeting shall receive and consider the Directors' Report, the Financial Reports, shall appoint Directors and the Auditor and shall transact any other business which under these Articles or by the Law are to be transacted at an Annual Meeting of the Company. |
In accordance with Section 61 to the Law and without derogating from any right granted herein, the Board may resolve that an Annual Meeting shall not be convened, unless to the extent that an appointment of the Auditor is required.

38. | The Directors may decide to convene a Special Meeting whenever they think fit, and they shall be required to convene a Special Meeting should they receive a request, in writing, from a person or persons entitled, under the Law, to request such meeting, provided however, that in every calendar year there shall be no more than two (2) Special Meetings convened by any one Shareholder. |
Any request for convening a Special Meeting must specify the purposes for which the meeting is to be called, shall be signed by the persons requesting the meeting, and shall be delivered to the Office.

A waiver may be given retrospectively even after the date of the meeting. A list of the matters to be dealt with at a General Meeting shall be given together with the notice convening the meeting. |
41. | The Company is obligated to give notice of each General Meeting, whether Annual or Special, to: (i) any Shareholder entitled to receive notice in accordance with these Articles; and (ii) any person who is the legal representative in connection with the death, liquidation, bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up of a Shareholder, provided the original Shareholder had such right and provided that the successor has submitted to the Company proof of his status. |
The accidental omission to give notice of any meeting to or the non-receipt of any such notice by any of the Shareholders shall not invalidate any resolution passed at any such meeting.
PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS
42. | Notwithstanding anything in these Articles to the contrary, no business shall be transacted at any General Meeting unless a quorum of Shareholders is present at the opening of the Meeting. |
Save as provided in the following Article with regard to an adjourned Meeting, the quorum for any General Meeting shall be at least two Shareholders holding together more than 50% of the voting power in the Company.
43. | If within half an hour from the time appointed for the holding of a General Meeting a quorum is not present, the Meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day one week later at the same time and place or to such other day, time and place as the Board may appoint by notice to the Shareholders. At such adjourned Meeting the necessary quorum for the business for which the original Meeting was called shall be any number of shareholders. |

An amendment to these Articles requiring a Shareholder to purchase additional shares, or increasing his liability, shall not be binding upon a Shareholder without his consent.
48. | At all General Meetings a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided upon by an open vote. A declaration by the Chairman of the meeting that a resolution has been carried, or has been carried unanimously or by a particular majority, or rejected, or not carried by a particular majority, shall be conclusive, and an entry to that effect in the minutes of the meeting shall be conclusive evidence thereof (without need to prove the number or proportion of the votes in favor of or against such resolution). |
49. | If two or more persons are jointly entitled to a share, the vote of the senior one who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other registered holders of the share, and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register. |

53. | A Shareholder being of unsound mind or pronounced to be unfit to vote by a competent court of law may vote through a legally appointed guardian or any other representative appointed by a court of law to vote on behalf of said Shareholder. |
54. | No person shall be entitled to vote at any General Meeting or be taken into account in a quorum with regard to any shares whilst any call shall be due and payable to the Company in respect of those shares of such Shareholder, unless otherwise resolved by the Board. |
55. | A Shareholder entitled to vote may signify his approval of or dissent from any resolution passed or intended to be proposed at a General Meeting or any amendment in any such resolution by a written communication (including fax or electronic form) to the Company, and such Shareholder shall be taken into account in determining the quorum as if such Shareholder was present at the meeting and his vote counted pursuant to the vote indicated. |
Furthermore, a Resolution in writing signed by all the Shareholders entitled to vote in a General Meeting shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a General Meeting duly convened and held. Any such Resolution may consist of several documents in like form, each signed by one or more Shareholders (including fax or electronic form).
56. | The Chairman shall be responsible for recording the minutes of the General Meeting and any resolution adopted.

47. | Amount Payable by Way of Dividends |
Subject to the provisions of these Articles and subject to the rights or conditions attached at that time to any share in the capital of the Company granting preferential, special or deferred rights or not granting any rights with respect to dividends, any dividend paid by the Company shall be allocated among the Shareholders entitled thereto in proportion to their respective holdings of the shares in respect of which such dividends are being paid.

50. | Implementation of Powers |
For the purpose of giving full effect to any resolution under Article 49, the Board of Directors may settle any difficulty which may arise in regard to the distribution as it thinks expedient, and, in particular, may fix the value for distribution of any specific assets and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Shareholders upon the footing of the value so fixed, or that fractions of less value than a certain determined value may be disregarded in order to adjust the rights of all persons, and may vest any such cash, shares, debentures, debenture stock or specific assets in trustees upon such trusts for the persons entitled to the dividend or capitalized fund as may seem expedient to the Board of Directors.

The principal (and only the principal) of any unclaimed dividend of such other moneys shall be, if claimed, paid to a person entitled thereto.
52. | Mechanics of Payment |
Any dividend or other moneys payable in cash in respect of a share may be paid by check or payment order sent through the post to, or left at, the registered address of the person entitled thereto or by transfer to a bank account specified by such person (or, if two or more persons are registered as joint holders of such share or are entitled jointly thereto in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder or otherwise, to the joint holder whose name is registered first in the Register of Shareholders or his bank account or the person who the Company may then recognize as the owner thereof or entitled thereto under Article 16 or 17 hereof, as applicable, or such person’s bank account), or to such person and at such other address as the person entitled thereto may by writing direct, or in any other manner the Board of Directors deems appropriate. Every such check or warrant or other method of payment shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent, or to such person as the person entitled thereto as aforesaid may direct, and payment of the check or warrant by the banker upon whom it is drawn shall be a good discharge to the Company.
53. | Receipt from a Joint Holder |
If two or more persons are registered as joint holders of any share, or are entitled jointly thereto in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder or otherwise, any one of them may give effectual receipts for any dividend or other moneys payable or property distributable in respect of such share.

(i) Administration with Respect to Directors and Officers . With respect to grants of Awards to Directors or Employees who are also Officers or Directors of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the Applicable Laws and to permit such grants and related transactions under the Plan to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act in accordance with Rule 16b-3.

(i) to select the Employees, Directors and Consultants to whom Awards may be granted from time to time hereunder;

(vii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards, including without limitation, any notice of award or Award Agreement, granted pursuant to the Plan;
(viii) to establish additional terms, conditions, rules or procedures, to accommodate the rules or laws of applicable foreign jurisdictions and to afford Grantees favorable treatment under such rules or laws; provided, however, that no Award shall be granted under any such additional terms, conditions, rules or procedures with terms or conditions which are inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan; and
(ix) to take such other action, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator deems appropriate.

Awards may be granted to such Employees, Directors or Consultants who are residing in foreign jurisdictions as the Administrator may determine from time to time.
6 |
6. Terms and Conditions of Awards .
(a) Type of Awards . The Administrator is authorized under the Plan to award any type of arrangement to an Employee, Director or Consultant that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan and that by its terms involves or might involve the issuance of (i) Shares, (ii) an Option or similar right with a fixed or variable price related to the Fair Market Value of the Shares and with an exercise or conversion privilege related to the passage of time, the occurrence of one or more events, or the satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions, or (iii) any other security with the value derived from the value of the Shares. Such awards include, without limitation, Options or sales or bonuses of Restricted Stock, and an Award may consist of one such security or benefit, or two (2) or more of them in any combination or alternative.
(b) Designation of Award . Each Award shall be designated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Option, the Option shall be designated as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares subject to Options designated as Incentive Stock Options which become exercisable for the first time by a Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options, to the extent of the Shares covered thereby in excess of the foregoing limitation, shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. For this purpose, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the grant date of the relevant Option.
(c) Conditions of Award . Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator shall determine the provisions, terms, and conditions of each Award including, but not limited to, the Award vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form of payment (cash, Shares, or other consideration) upon settlement of the Award, payment contingencies, and satisfaction of any performance criteria. The performance criteria established by the Administrator may be based on any one of, or combination of, increase in share price, earnings per share, total stockholder return, return on equity, return on assets, return on investment, net operating income, cash flow, revenue, economic value added, personal management objectives, or other measure of performance selected by the Administrator. Partial achievement of the specified criteria may result in a payment or vesting corresponding to the degree of achievement as specified in the Award Agreement.
(d) Acquisitions and Other Transactions . The Administrator may issue Awards under the Plan in settlement, assumption or substitution for, outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards in connection with the Company or a Related Entity acquiring another entity, an interest in another entity or an additional interest in a Related Entity whether by merger, stock purchase, asset purchase or other form of transaction.
(e) Separate Programs . The Administrator may establish one or more separate programs under the Plan for the purpose of issuing particular forms of Awards to one or more classes of Grantees on such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator from time to time.
(f) Early Exercise . The Award Agreement may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Grantee may elect at any time while an Employee, Director or Consultant to exercise any part or all of the Award prior to full vesting of the Award. Any unvested Shares received pursuant to such exercise may be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company or a Related Entity or to any other restriction the Administrator determines to be appropriate.
7 |
(g) Term of Award . The term of each Award shall be the term stated in the Award Agreement, provided, however, that the term of an Award shall be no more than seven (7) years from the date of grant thereof. However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Grantee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.
(h) Transferability of Awards . No Option or any right with respect thereto, purchasable hereunder, whether fully paid or not, shall be assignable, transferable or given as collateral, or any right with respect to it given to any third party whatsoever, except as specifically allowed under the Plan. During the lifetime of the Grantee, each and all of such Grantee's rights to purchase Shares hereunder shall be exercisable only by the Grantee. Vested options are transferable by will or by law of descent and distribution. Any such action made directly or indirectly, for an immediate validation or for a future one, shall be void.
(i) Time of Granting Awards . The date of grant of an Award shall for all purposes be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination to grant such Award, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the grant determination shall be given to each Employee, Director or Consultant to whom an Award is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.
7. Award Exercise or Purchase Price, Consideration and Taxes .
(a) Exercise or Purchase Price . The exercise or purchase price, if any, for an Award shall be as follows:
(i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option:
(A) granted to an Employee who, at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant; or
(B) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in the preceding paragraph, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(ii) In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(iii) In the case of other Awards, such price as is determined by the Administrator.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(a), in the case of an Award issued pursuant to Section 6(d), above, the exercise or purchase price for the Award shall be determined in accordance with the principles of Section 424(a) of the Code.
(b) Consideration . Subject to Applicable Laws, the consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise or purchase of an Award including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time of grant). In addition to any other types of consideration the Administrator may determine, the Administrator is authorized to accept as consideration for Shares issued under the Plan the following:
(i) cash;
(ii) check;
(iii) wire transfer.
8 |
The Administrator may at any time or from time to time, by adoption of or by amendment to the standard forms of Award Agreement described in Section 4(b)(iv), or by other means, grant Awards which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment for the Shares or which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration.
(c) Taxes . No Shares shall be delivered under the Plan to any Grantee or other person until such Grantee or other person has made arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of any foreign, federal, state, or local income and employment tax withholding obligations, including, without limitation, obligations incident to the receipt of Shares or the disqualifying disposition of Shares received on exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. Upon exercise of an Award the Company shall withhold or collect from Grantee an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations.
8. Exercise of Award .
(a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder .
(i) Any Award granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator under the terms of the Plan and specified in the Award Agreement.
(ii) An Award shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award by the person entitled to exercise the Award and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Award is exercised is actually received and cleared.
(b) Exercise of Award Following Termination of Continuous Service . In the event of termination of a Grantee’s Continuous Service for any reason other than Disability or death (but not in the event of a Grantee’s change of status from Employee to Consultant or from Consultant to Employee), such Grantee may, but only during the Post-Termination Exercise Period (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Award as set forth in the Award Agreement), exercise the portion of the Grantee’s Award that was vested at the date of such termination or such other portion of the Grantee’s Award as may be determined by the Administrator. The Grantee’s Award Agreement may provide that upon the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service for Cause, the Grantee’s right to exercise the Award shall terminate concurrently with the termination of Grantee’s Continuous Service. In the event of a Grantee’s change of status from Employee to Consultant, an Employee’s Incentive Stock Option shall convert automatically to a Non-Qualified Stock Option on the day three (3) months and one day following such change of status. To the extent that the Grantee’s Award was unvested at the date of termination, or if the Grantee does not exercise the vested portion of the Grantee’s Award within the Post-Termination Exercise Period, the Award shall terminate.
(c) Disability of Grantee . In the event of termination of a Grantee’s Continuous Service as a result of his or her Disability, such Grantee may, but only within twelve (12) months from the date of such termination (or such longer or shorter period as specified in the Award Agreement but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Award as set forth in the Award Agreement), exercise the portion of the Grantee’s Award that was vested at the date of such termination; provided, however, that if such Disability is not a “disability” as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option such Incentive Stock Option shall automatically convert to a Non-Qualified Stock Option on the day three (3) months and one day following such termination. To the extent that the Grantee’s Award was unvested at the date of termination, or if Grantee does not exercise the vested portion of the Grantee’s Award within the time specified herein, the Award shall terminate.
9 |
(d) Death of Grantee . In the event of a termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service as a result of his or her death, or in the event of the death of the Grantee during the Post-Termination Exercise Period or during the twelve (12) month period following the Grantee’s termination of Continuous Service as a result of his or her Disability, the Grantee’s estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Award by bequest or inheritance may exercise the portion of the Grantee’s Award that was vested as of the date of termination, within twelve (12) months from the date of death (or such longer or shorter period as specified in the Award Agreement but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Award as set forth in the Award Agreement). To the extent that, at the time of death, the Grantee’s Award was unvested, or if the Grantee’s estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Award by bequest or inheritance does not exercise the vested portion of the Grantee’s Award within the time specified herein, the Award shall terminate.
(e) Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law . Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of an Award within the applicable time periods set forth in this Section 8 is prevented by the provisions of Section 9 below, the Award shall remain exercisable until one (1) month after the date the Grantee is notified by the Company that the Award is exercisable, but in any event no later than the expiration of the term of such Award as set forth in the Award Agreement.
(f) Post Termination Forfeiture . The reason of termination of Continuous Service notwithstanding, if during the Post-Termination Exercise Period, the Grantee breaches the confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation, non-use or assignment of intellectual property undertakings binding upon such Grantee, the Company shall have the right to effect a forfeiture of all of the Grantee’s then outstanding Awards (whether vested or non-vested).
9. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares .
(a) Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all Applicable Laws, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
(b) As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any Applicable Laws.
10. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization . Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the number of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan, the exercise or purchase price of each such outstanding Award, as well as any other terms that the Administrator determines require adjustment shall be proportionately adjusted for (i) any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Shares, or similar transaction affecting the Shares, (ii) any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, or (iii) as the Administrator may determine in its discretion, any other transaction with respect to Common Stock including a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation (including a spin-off or other distribution of stock or property), reorganization, liquidation (whether partial or complete) or any similar transaction; provided, however that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as the Administrator determines, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason hereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award.
10 |
11. Corporate Transactions.
(a) Termination of Award to Extent Not Assumed. Effective upon the consummation of a Corporate Transaction, all outstanding Awards under the Plan shall terminate. However, all such Awards shall not terminate to the extent they are Assumed in connection with the Corporate Transaction.
(b) Acceleration of Award Upon Corporate Transaction . Except as provided otherwise in an individual Award Agreement, in the event of a Corporate Transaction, for the portion of each Award that is neither Assumed nor Replaced, such proportional part of the Award, calculated by dividing the sum of the then vested Options by the total Options granted to a Grantee time the total number of un-vested Options (see example below), shall automatically become fully vested and exercisable and be released from any repurchase or forfeiture rights (other than repurchase rights exercisable at Fair Market Value) for all of the Shares at the time represented by such portion of the Award, immediately prior to the specified effective date of such Corporate Transaction, provided that the Grantee’s Continuous Service has not terminated prior to such date. The portion of the Award that is not Assumed shall terminate under subsection (a) of this Section 11 to the extent not exercised prior to the consummation of such Corporate Transaction.
Example for proportional acceleration of Options:
Example |
Options Awarded |
Vested Options |
Un-vested Options |
Formula | Total | |||||
1 | 400 | 100 | 300 | 100 + (300 x 100/400) | 175 | |||||
2 | 400 | 200 | 200 | 200 + (200 x 200/400) | 300 | |||||
3 | 400 | 300 | 100 | 300 + (100 x 300/400) | 175 |
(c) Effect of Acceleration on Incentive Stock Options. The portion of any Incentive Stock Option accelerated under this Section 11 in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code only to the extent the $100,000 dollar limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the accelerated excess portion of such Option shall be exercisable as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
12. Effective Date and Term of Plan . The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the stockholders of the Company.

14. | CONTINUANCE OF EMPLOYMENT |

8.5 The exercise of the Options shall be subject to any applicable law, including when applicable, the limitations in connection with the use of nonpublic information.
8.6 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2 or 8.3 above, the Board may determine that instead of issuing one Exercised Share as a result of the exercise of each one Option (subject to adjustments under Section 10 herein), any Options shall be exercised using the following method (the "Net Exercise"):
9 |
(a) Upon exercise of the Options, the Company shall issue to the Participant (or for his benefit) the Net Exercise Shares (as defined below), and the following formula shall apply:
X = | Y(A — B) |
A - N |
Whereas:
X = The number of Shares resulting from the exercise of the Options (the "Net Exercise Shares").
Y = The number Options in respect of which a Notice of Exercise has been delivered to the Company.
A = The Fair Market Value.
B = The Exercise Price.
N = The par Value of a Share.
(b) The Participant shall not be required to pay to the Company any sum with respect to the exercise of such Options, other than a sum equal to the aggregate par value of the Net Exercise Shares (which shall be paid in a manner provided in Section 8.2 above) (the "Par Value Sum"). However, the Company shall have the full authority in its discretion to determine at any time that the Par Value Sum shall not be paid and that the Company shall capitalize applicable profits or take any other action to ensure that it meets any requirement of Applicable Laws regarding issuance of Shares for consideration that is lower than the par value of such Shares;
(c) In any event, no fractional Shares will be issued to the Participant and the number of Shares granted to the Participant under the Plan shall be rounded off (upward or downward, as the Board or the Committee shall determine) to the nearest whole number.
9. Termination off Service:
9.1 In the event of a Termination of Service, all Options granted to such Participant, unless determined otherwise by the Committee or the Board, shall terminate as follows:
(a) All such Options that are not vested on the Date of Termination shall terminate immediately on the effective date of a Termination of Service (the "Date of Termination"). It is hereby clarified that the Termination of Service of an Israeli Participant who is an Employee shall be the termination of the employee-employer relationship between the Israeli Participant and the Group.
10 |
(b) If the Participant's Termination of Service is by reason of such Participants death or disability, Options (to the extent vested at the Date of Termination) shall be exercisable by the Participant or the Participant's guardian, legal representative, estate or other person to whom the Participant's rights are transferred by will or by laws of descent or distribution, at any time until the lapse of twelve (12) months from the Date of Termination (but in no event after the expiration date of such Options), and shall thereafter terminate.
(c) If the Participant's Termination of Service is due to any reason other than those stated in Sections 9(b) and 9(d) herein, Options (to the extent vested on the Date of Termination) shall be exercisable at any time until the lapse of ninety (90) days from the Date of Termination (but in no event after the expiration date of such Options), and shall thereafter terminate; provided however that if the Participant dies within such period, such Options (to the extent vested on the Date of Termination) shall be exercisable by the Participant's legal representative, estate or other person to whom the Participants rights are transferred by will or by laws of descent or distribution at any time until the lapse of twelve (12) months from the Date of Termination (but in no event after the expiration date of such Options), and shall thereafter terminate.
(d) Notwithstanding the aforesaid, if the Participant's Termination of Service is for Cause, all of the Options whether vested or not shall expire immediately and be of no legal effect.
(e) The decision whether the Termination of Service of a particular Participant is by reason of disability or Cause, shall be finally and conclusively determined by the Committee or the Board in its absolute discretion.
(f) Notwithstanding the aforesaid, under no circumstances shall any Option be exercisable after the specified expiration of the term of such Option.
9.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, the Committee or the Board shall have the discretion to extend the period of time for which an Option is to remain exercisable following the Date of Termination to such greater period of time, but in no event beyond the specified expiration of the term of the Option; and/or permit the Option to be exercised, during the applicable exercise period following the Date of Termination, not only with respect to the number of Shares for which such Option is exercisable at the Date of Termination but also with respect to one or more additional installments in which the Participant would have vested under the Option had the Participant continued in the employ or service of the Group.
9.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, unless determined otherwise by the Committee, and for the avoidance of doubt, the transfer of a Participant from the employ or service within the Group entities, shall not be deemed a Termination of Service for purposes hereof. Furthermore, and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, the transfer of a Participant from a status of an Employee to a status of a Consultant or from a status of a Consultant to a status of an Employee, shall not be deemed a Termination of Service for purposes hereof.
11 |
9.4 Unless determined otherwise by the Board, in the event of a Termination of Service, all RSUs theretofore granted to such Participant when such Participant was an Employee, director, contractor or Consultant of the Group that are not vested on the Date of Termination, shall terminate immediately and have no legal effect.
9.5 Unless otherwise provided by the Board, in the event of Termination of Service of a Participant, for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (including the Participant's death or disability), then the Participant shall forfeit to the Company any Shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to an award of Restricted Stock which remain subject to the Vesting Period as of the Date of Termination.
10. Adjustments, Liquidation and Transaction:
10.1 Subject to any required action under any applicable law, the number of Shares subject to each outstanding Award, and the number of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation, forfeiture, or expiration of an Award, as well as the Exercise Price per share of Shares subject to each outstanding Award, shall be adjusted, as the Board deems necessary or appropriate, for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a share split, reverse share split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Shares, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of a Participant under the Plan; provided, however that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Except as expressly provided in this Section 9, no issuance by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award.
Except as expressly provided in this Section 10, the grant of Awards under the Plan shall in no way affect the right of the Company to distribute bonus shares, to offer rights to purchase its securities, or to distribute dividends.
10.2 Unless otherwise provided by the Board, in the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all outstanding Awards will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. In such case, the Board may declare that any Award shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Board and give each Participant the right to exercise his Award or have it vested, including Award that would not otherwise vest or be exercisable.
10.3 Transaction:
12 |
10.3.1 In the event of a Transaction, the unexercised Awards then outstanding under the Plan may be assumed or substituted for an appropriate number of shares of each class of shares or other securities of the Successor Company (or a parent or subsidiary of the Successor Company) as were distributed to the shareholders of the Company in connection and with respect to the Transaction. In case of such assumption and/or substitution of Awards, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price and number and type of shares so as to reflect such action and all other terms and conditions of the Award Agreements shall remain unchanged, including but not limited to the Vesting Period, all subject to the determination of the Committee or the Board, which determination shall be in their sole discretion and final and to applicable law including among others regarding taxation. The Company shall notify the Participant of the Transaction in such form and method as it deems appropriate at least ten (10) days prior to the closing of such Transaction. Subject to Section 10.3.2 below, immediately following the consummation of the Transaction, the Board shall have full power and authority to determine that all outstanding Awards shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed or substituted as aforesaid. In the event that Awards are not assumed or substituted by the Successor Company the Board may (but shall not be obligated to) provide the Participant to have the right to exercise the vested Awards under such terms and conditions as the Board shall determine prior to the Transaction.
10.3.2 Notwithstanding the above and subject to any applicable law, the Board or the Committee shall have full power and authority to determine that in certain Option Awards there shall be a clause providing different provisions with respect to the Vesting Period of Awards underling such Award Agreement or any portion thereof in case of a Transaction.
10.3.3 For the purposes of Section 10.3.1 above, an Award shall be considered assumed or substituted if, following the Transaction, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share underlying an Award immediately prior to the Transaction, the consideration (whether shares, options, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Transaction by holders of shares held on the effective date of the Transaction (and if such holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Transaction is not solely ordinary shares (or their equivalent) of the Successor Company or its parent or subsidiary, the Committee may, with the consent of the Successor Company, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Award to be solely ordinary shares (or their equivalent) of the Successor Company or its parent or subsidiary equal in Fair Market Value to the per Share consideration received by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares in the Transaction; and provided further that the Committee may determine, in its discretion, that in lieu of such assumption or substitution of Awards for options of the Successor Company or its parent or subsidiary, such Awards will be substituted for any other type of asset or property including cash which is fair under the circumstances.
13 |
10.4 Subject to any provision in the Articles of Association of the Company and to the Board's sole and absolute discretion, in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, each Participant shall be obligated to participate in the Sale and sell his or her Shares and/or Awards in the Company, provided however that each such Share or Award shall be sold at a price equal to that of any other Ordinary Share sold under the Sale (and, unless determined otherwise by the Board, less the applicable Exercise Price), while accounting for changes in such price due to the respective terms of any such Award, and subject to the absolute discretion of the Board.
10.5 The grant of Awards under the Plan shall in no way affect the right of the Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
11. Limitations on Transfer:
11.1 Unless determined otherwise by the Board, no Award (excluding Shares as set out in the next paragraph below) shall be assignable, transferable, sold, pledged, encumbered, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of in any manner by the Participant to whom granted otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and an Award shall vest or may be exercised (as applicable) during the lifetime of the Participant only by such Participant or by such Participant's guardian or legal representative. The terms of such Award shall be binding upon the beneficiaries, executors, administrators, heirs and successors of such Participant. Any Shares acquired upon exercise or vesting of Awards shall be transferable only in accordance with the provisions of the Company's Articles of Association and with applicable securities and other local laws, and may be subject to substantial statutory or regulatory restrictions on transfer, except to the extent exemptions (whether by registration or otherwise) are available. The Committee, in its discretion, may impose such restrictions on Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise or settlement of an Award as it determines to be desirable, including, without limitation, restrictions relating to disposition of the Shares and forfeiture restrictions based on service, performance, Share ownership by the Participant, and such other factors as the Committee determines to be appropriate.
11.2 Prior to an IPO, the sale or transfer of Exercised Shares to a third party shall be subject to any right of first refusal to purchase such Shares and to such other terms and conditions prescribed by the Company's Articles of Association. In addition, at any time prior or after an IPO, the sale or transfer of Exercised Shares to a third party shall also be subject to such other applicable transfer restrictions, if any, and any other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, shareholders agreement, or other applicable written agreement. Any purported transfer effected in violation of this Section 11.2, the Company's Articles of Association or the applicable Award Agreement, shareholders agreement, or other applicable written agreement shall be null and void and shall have no force or effect and the Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any such provisions or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.
14 |
11.3 The Participant acknowledges that in the event that the Company's shares shall be registered for trading in any public market, Participant's rights to sell the Shares in respect of which the Participant has exercised Awards, may be subject to certain limitations (including a lock-up period), as will be requested by the Company or its underwriters, and the Participant unconditionally agrees and accepts any such limitations.

12.2 Subject to applicable law, the Board in its discretion may, at any time and from time to time, amend, alter, extend or terminate the Plan, as it deems advisable, including without limitation, change the vesting and exercise periods, but no amendment or termination shall be made that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any outstanding Award, without his or her consent.

13. Trust:
13.1 In the event Awards are deposited with a Trustee, the Trustee shall hold each such Award and any Exercised Shares in Trust for the benefit of the Beneficial Participant. In accordance with Section 102, the tax benefits afforded to 102 Awards (and any Exercised Shares) in accordance with the Ordinary Income Route or Capital Gains Route, as applicable, shall be contingent upon the Trustee holding such 102 Awards for the applicable Trust Period.
13.2 As long as 102 Awards are deposited with a Trustee, the Participant granted 102 Awards shall not be entitled to sell the Exercised Shares or to transfer such Exercised Shares (or such 102 Awards) from the Trust prior to the lapse of the Trust Period; and any and all rights issued in respect of Exercised Shares, including bonus shares, shall be issued to the Trustee and held thereby until the lapse of the Trust Period, and such rights shall be subject to the Taxation Route which is applicable to such Exercised Shares.
15 |
13.3 Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the Trustee may release such Exercised Shares or rights from Trust and the Exercised Shares or such rights may be sold or transferred, prior to the lapse of the Trust Period, provided however, that tax is paid or withheld in accordance with Section 102 of the Ordinance and Section 7 of the 102 Rules, and any other provision in any other section of the Ordinance and any regulation, ruling, procedure and clarification promulgated thereunder, that will be relevant, from time to time.
13.4 The Company shall register the Exercised Shares issued to the Trustee pursuant to the Plan, in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Israeli Participants, in accordance with any applicable law, rules and regulations, until such time that such Shares are released from the Trust as herein provided. If the Company shall issue any certificates representing Exercised Shares deposited with the Trustee under the Plan, then such certificates shall be deposited with the Trustee, and shall be held by the Trustee until such time that such Exercised Shares are released from the Trust as herein provided.
14. Tax Consequences:
14.1 All Tax consequences and obligations arising from the grant, vesting, or exercise of any Award (as applicable), or the subsequent disposition of, Shares subject thereto or from any other event or act (of the Group or of the Participant) hereunder, shall be borne solely by the Participant, and the Participant shall indemnify the Group and the Trustee and hold them harmless against and from any and all liability for any such Tax, including without limitation, monetary liabilities relating to the necessity to withhold, or to have withheld, any such Tax payment from any payment made to the Participant. Notwithstanding the above, the Company and Trustee's obligation to deliver Shares upon the exercise or vesting of any Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable Tax withholding requirements as governed by Applicable Laws or practice.
14.2 The Group and/or the Trustee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deduct from the Shares issuable to a Participant upon the exercise or vesting of an Award, or to accept from the Participant the tender of, a number of whole Shares having a fair market value, as determined by the Company, that will enable the Group to satisfy any Tax withholding obligations of the Group.
14.3 The Company and/or the Trustee shall not be required to release any Shares (or Share certificate) to a Participant until all required payments have been fully made or secured.
14.4 With regards to 102 Awards, any provision of Section 102 of the Ordinance and the 102 Rules promulgated thereunder, which is necessary in order to receive and/or to preserve any Tax treatment pursuant to Section 102 of the Ordinance, which is not expressly specified in the Plan, shall be considered binding upon the Company and the Israeli Participant.
16 |
14.5 In the event a 102(c) Award is granted to a Participant, if the Participant's employment or service is terminated, for any reason, such Participant shall provide the Group, to its full satisfaction, with a guarantee or collateral securing the future payment of all Taxes required to be paid upon the sale of the Exercised Shares received upon exercise of such 102(c) Award, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance and the 102 Rules promulgated thereunder.
15. Continuance of Employment:
Neither the Plan nor the Award Agreement with the Participant shall impose any obligation on the Group, to continue any Participant in its employ or service, and nothing in the Plan or in any Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Group or restrict the right of the Group to terminate such employment or service at any time.
16. Governing Law & Jurisdiction:
The Plan shall be exclusively governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the exclusive laws of the State of Israel applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws. The competent courts of Tel-Aviv, Israel shall have exclusively sole jurisdiction in any matters pertaining to the Plan.
17. Multiple Agreements:
The terms of each Award may differ from other Awards granted under the Plan at the same time, or at any other time. The Board may also grant more than one Award to a given Participant during the term of the Plan, either in addition to, or in substitution for, one or more Awards previously granted to that Participant.
18. Non-Exclusivity of the Plan:
The adoption of the Plan by the Board shall not be construed as amending, modifying or rescinding any previously approved incentive arrangement or as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of share-based Awards otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.
19. The provisions of the Plan shall not be construed as deviating from any applicable law, rules and regulations.

To: _______________
Holder of Israeli ID Number / [_____] Passport Number: ____________________
(the “ Indemnitee ”)
This Indemnification and Exculpation Agreement (“Indemnification Agreement”) is being entered into effective as of ___________ __, 2019, pursuant to the resolutions of the Board of Directors of InMode Ltd ., (Israeli Company No. 514073618) a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company” and the “Board” respectively) dated _____________, 2019 as approved by the Company’s shareholders on _____________, 2019.
It is in the best interests of the Company to retain and attract as directors and/or officers the most capable persons available and such persons are becoming increasingly reluctant to serve in companies unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance and indemnification in connection with such service.
You are or have been appointed as a director or other Office Holder (as defined below) of the Company, and in order to enhance your service to the Company in an effective manner, the Company desires to provide hereunder for your indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law. In consideration of your continuing to serve the Company, the Company hereby agrees as follows:
1. | The Company hereby undertakes to indemnify you to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law in respect of the following expenses, payments or liabilities imposed on, or incurred by, you in consequence of any act performed or omission committed by you in your capacity as an “Office Holder” (such term shall have herein the meaning assigned to it in the Companies Law – 1999 (the “Companies Law”)) of the Company (including your service, at the request of the Company, as an officer, director, employee or board observer of any other company controlled directly or indirectly by the Company (a “Subsidiary”) or in which the Company holds shares (an “Affiliate”)) (your service in any of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates is referred to herein as the “Corporate Capacity”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that you are a beneficiary of an indemnification undertaking provided by a Subsidiary or an Affiliate with respect to your Corporate Capacity with such Subsidiary or Affiliate, then the indemnification obligations of the Company hereunder with respect to such Corporate Capacity shall only apply to the extent that the indemnification by such Subsidiary or Affiliate does not actually fully cover the indemnifiable liabilities, payments and expenses relating thereto. |
1.1 | Any monetary liability imposed on you pursuant to a court judgment in favor of a third party (which third parties include, without limitation and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any governmental entity), including pursuant to any settlement confirmed as judgment or to an arbitration decision approved by a competent court; |
1.2 | All reasonable litigation expenses, including attorney’s fees, which were incurred by you as a result of an investigation or proceeding conducted against you by an authority authorized to conduct such an investigation or proceeding, which was either (i) “concluded without the filing of an indictment” (as defined in Section 260(a)(1A) of the Companies Law) against you and without the imposition on you of any “monetary obligation in lieu of a criminal proceeding” (as defined in Section 260(a)(1A) of the Companies Law) , or (ii) “concluded without the filing of an indictment” against you but with the imposition on you of a “monetary obligation in lieu of a criminal proceeding” for an offense that does not require proof of mens rea , or (iii) is in connection with a monetary sanction pursuant to the Companies Law or the Israeli Securities Law, 5728-1968, as amended (the “Securities Law”); |
1.3 | All reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by you, or which were imposed on you by a court, (i) in a proceeding instituted against you by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate or on its behalf or by a third party, or (ii) in a criminal indictment of which you were acquitted, or (iii) in a criminal indictment of which you were convicted of an offense which does not require proof of mens rea ; |
1 |
1.4 | a payment which you will be obligated to make to an injured party as set forth in Section 52(54)(a)(1)(a) of the Securities Law; |
1.5 | expenses incurred by you in connection with a proceeding under Chapters H’3, H’4, or I’1 of the Securities Law, including reasonable legal expenses, which term includes attorneys’ fees; |
1.6 | expenses (including reasonable legal expenses) incurred by you in connection with a proceeding under Chapter G’1 of the Economic Competition Law, 5748-1988; and |
1.7 | any other event, occurrence or circumstances arising in respect of which the Company may indemnify an Office Holder of the Company under applicable law. |
2. | Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the Company will not indemnify you for any amount you may be obligated to pay in respect of: |
2.1 | a breach of your duty of loyalty to the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, except, to the extent permitted by the Companies Law, for a breach of a duty of loyalty to the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate while acting in good faith and having reasonable basis to assume that such act would not prejudice the interests of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate; |
2.2 | a breach of your duty of care to the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate committed intentionally or recklessly, unless committed in negligence only; |
2.3 | an action taken or omission by you with the intent of unlawfully realizing personal gain; and |
2.4 | a fine, civil fine, monetary sanction or forfeit imposed upon you; and, |
2.5 | with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by you against the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, other than by way of defense or by way of third party notice to the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate or by way of countersuit in connection with claims brought against you or in specific cases in which the Company’s Board of Directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such suit by yourself. |
3. | To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, following receipt by the Company of your written request therefor, make available all amounts payable to you in accordance with Section 1 above on the date on which such amounts are first payable by you (“Time of Indebtedness”), and with respect to items referred to in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 above, even prior to the time on which the applicable court renders its decision, provided however , that advances given to cover legal expenses in criminal proceedings will be repaid by you to the Company if you are found guilty of a crime which requires proof of mens rea (criminal intent). Other advances will be repaid by you to the Company if it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that you are not lawfully entitled to such indemnification as contemplated hereby. |
As part of the aforementioned undertaking, the Company will make available to you any security or guarantee that you may be required to post in accordance with an interim decision given by a court or an arbitrator, including for the purpose of substituting liens imposed on your assets.
4. | The Company will indemnify you even if at the relevant Time of Indebtedness you no longer serve in any Corporate Capacity, provided that the obligations with respect to which you will be indemnified hereunder are in respect of actions taken or omissions committed by you while you were an Office Holder of the Company as aforesaid or served in another Corporate Capacity, and in such capacity. |
2 |
5. | The undertaking of the Company set forth in Section 1.1 shall be limited as follows: |
5.1 | to matters that result from or are connected or otherwise related to events or circumstances set forth in Schedule A hereto, which are deemed by the Board, based on the current activity of the Company, to be foreseeable as of the date hereof; and |
5.2 | the maximum amount for which the Company undertakes to indemnify you hereunder for matters and circumstances described in Schedule A (or otherwise pursuant to this Indemnification Agreement), shall not exceed your pro-rated amount out of the lower of: (i) the cap below, or (ii) your pro-rated proven indemnifiable amount as detailed below. The total obligation of the Company to all Office Holders, in the aggregate, including all then pending claims for indemnification made by all Office Holders and other eligible indemnitees of the Company, whether under law, agreement or the Articles of Association of the Company, will not exceed a cap amount which is the greater of: (i) US$ 40,000,000; and (ii) an amount equivalent to 25% of the Company’s effective equity. Said cap does not derogate from the right to receive amounts from insurance providers in accordance with Section 7 below. For this purpose “the Company’s effective equity ” - means the amount of the Company’s equity as reflected in its most recent publicly available consolidated financial statements as of the payment date of such indemnifiable event. If the total of all such claims exceed such amount (or the remaining balance of such amount at the relevant time), then the limit amount per each such indemnitee shall be pro-rated among all such indemnitees proportionately to the proven indemnifiable amount of each respective indemnitee out of the aggregate indemnifiable amount of all proven claims by all such indemnitees . Such amount has been determined to be reasonable by the Company’s Board of Directors. |
All amounts stated herein in US$, and if paid in NIS, are to be calculated according to the representative rate of exchange, or any other official rate of exchange that may replace it, published by the Bank of Israel on the date of payment by the Company hereunder.
6. | Subject to the limitations of Section 5 above and Section 7 below, the indemnification hereunder will, in each case, cover all sums of money (100%) that you will be obligated to pay, in those circumstances for which indemnification is permitted under the law and under this Indemnification Agreement. |
7. | The Company will not indemnify you for any liability with respect to which you have received payment from a third party or by virtue of an insurance policy taken out by the Company other than for amounts which are in excess of the amounts actually paid to you by such third party or pursuant to any such insurance policy (including deductible amounts not covered by insurance policies), within the limits set forth in Section 5 above. The Company will be entitled to receive any amount collected by you from a third party or by virtue of an insurance policy taken out by the Company in connection with liabilities actually indemnified hereunder, up to the amount actually paid to you by the Company as indemnification hereunder. The amounts to be transferred by you to the Company shall equal the difference between the total indemnification amounts you have actually received from any source (including the Company) and your pro-rated proven indemnifiable liability, but no more than the actual amount paid to you by the Company hereunder for such indemnifiable events. For example: if your pro-rated indemnifiable amount is US $1M and you have actually received from the Company and the insurer an amount of US $1.2M (US $600K from the Company and additional US $600K from the insurer), then you will be required to reimburse the Company the balance of US $200K. Said payment shall be transferred by you to the Company within fifteen (15) days following the receipt of the said amount. |
8. | In all indemnifiable circumstances, indemnification will be subject to the following: |
8.1 | You shall promptly notify the Company in writing of any legal proceedings initiated against you and of all possible or threatened legal proceedings for which you may seek indemnification hereunder, without delay, and in any event within seven (7) days, following your first becoming aware thereof, provided , however , that your failure to notify the Company as aforesaid shall not derogate from your right to be indemnified as provided herein except and to the extent that such failure to provide notice adversely prejudices the Company’s and/or a Subsidiary's and/or Affiliate's ability to defend against such action or to conduct any directly related legal proceeding. You shall deliver to the Company, or to such person as it shall advise you, without delay all documents you receive in connection with these proceedings or possible or threatened proceedings. Notice to the Company shall be directed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the address shown in the signature page of this Indemnification Agreement (or at such other address as the Company shall advise you). |
3 |
Similarly, you shall advise the Company on an ongoing and current basis concerning all events which you suspect may give rise to the initiation of legal proceedings against you in connection with your actions or omissions as an Office Holder of the Company or in another Corporate Capacity for which you may seek indemnification hereunder.
8.2 | Other than with respect to proceedings that have been initiated against you by the Company and/or Subsidiary or Affiliate or in its name, the Company (including a Subsidiary or Affiliate, as applicable) shall be entitled to undertake the conduct of your defense in respect of such legal proceedings and/or to hand over the conduct thereof to any attorney which the Company may choose for that purpose, except to an attorney who is not, upon reasonable grounds, acceptable to you. The Company shall notify you of any such decision to defend within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of notice of any such proceeding. |
The Company (including a Subsidiary or Affiliate) or the attorney as aforesaid shall be entitled, within the context of the conduct as aforesaid, to conclude such proceedings, all as they shall see fit, including by way of settlement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of criminal proceedings, the Company (including a Subsidiary or Affiliate) or the attorneys as aforesaid will not have the right to plead guilty in your name or to agree to a plea-bargain in your name without your consent. Furthermore, in a civil proceeding (whether before a court or as a part of a compromise arrangement), the Company (including a Subsidiary or Affiliate) and/or its attorneys will not have the right to admit to any occurrences that are not indemnifiable pursuant to this Indemnification Agreement, without your consent. However, the aforesaid will not prevent the Company (including a Subsidiary or Affiliate) or its attorneys as aforesaid, with the approval of the Company or the Subsidiary or Affiliate, as applicable, to come to a financial arrangement with a plaintiff in a civil proceeding or to consent to the entry of any judgment against you or enter into any settlement, arrangement or compromise, in each case without your consent, so long as such arrangement, judgment, settlement or compromise: (i) does not include an admission of your fault, (ii) is fully indemnifiable pursuant to this Indemnification Agreement, and (iii) further provides, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of you from all liability and limitation in respect of such proceeding. This paragraph shall not apply to a proceeding brought by you under Section 8.7 below.
8.3 | You will fully cooperate with the Company and/or any Subsidiary and/or Affiliate and/or any attorney as aforesaid in every reasonable way as may be required of you within the context of their conduct of such legal proceedings, including but not limited to the execution of power(s) of attorney and other documents required to enable the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates or its attorney as aforesaid to conduct your defense in your name, and to represent you in all matters connected therewith, in accordance with the aforesaid, provided that the Company shall cover all reasonable costs incidental thereto such that you will not be required to pay the same or to finance the same yourself; and provided, further, that you shall not be required to take any action that would reasonably prejudice your defense in connection with any indemnifiable proceeding. |
8.4 | Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.2 and 8.3 above, (i) if in a proceeding to which you are a party by reason of your status as an Office Holder of the Company or in another Corporate Capacity, the named parties to any such proceeding include both you and the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, and joint representation is inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct due to a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest (including the availability to the Company and its Subsidiary or Affiliate, on the one hand, and you, on the other hand, of different or inconsistent defenses or counterclaims) that exists between you and the Company, or (ii) if the Company fails to assume the defense of such proceeding in a timely manner, or (iii) if the Company refers the conduct of your defense to an attorney who is not, upon reasonable grounds, acceptable to you, you shall be entitled to be represented by separate legal counsel, which may represent other persons similarly situated, of the Company’s choice and reasonably acceptable to you and such other persons' choice, at the expense of the Company. In addition, if the Company fails to comply with any of its material obligations under this Indemnification Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other person takes any action to declare this Indemnification Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any action, suit or proceeding to deny or to recover from you the benefits intended to be provided to you hereunder, except with respect to such actions, suits or proceedings brought by the Company that are resolved in favor of the Company, you shall have the right to retain counsel of your choice, and reasonably acceptable to the Company and at the expense of the Company, to represent you in connection with any such matter. |
4 |
8.5 | If, in accordance with Section 8.2 (but subject to Section 8.4), the Company (including a Subsidiary or Affiliate, as applicable) has taken upon itself the conduct of your defense, you shall have the right to employ counsel in any such action, suit or proceeding, who shall fully update, and be fully updated by, the Company (including a Subsidiary or Affiliate, if applicable) on the defense procedure and shall consult with, and be consulted with by, the Company (including a Subsidiary or Affiliate, if applicable) and the attorney conducting the legal defense on behalf of the Company or the Subsidiary or Affiliate if applicable, but the fees and expenses of such counsel, incurred after the assumption by the Company (or the Subsidiary or Affiliate, if applicable) of the defense thereof, shall be at your expense and the Company will have no liability or obligation pursuant to this Indemnification Agreement or otherwise to indemnify you for any legal expenses, including any legal fees, that you may expend in connection with such counsel, unless the Company shall agree to such expenses in writing; in which event all reasonable fees and expenses of your counsel shall be borne by the Company to the extent so agreed to by the Company in writing. |
8.6 | The Company will have no liability or obligation pursuant to this Indemnification Agreement to indemnify you for any amount expended by you pursuant to any compromise or settlement agreement reached in any suit, demand or other proceeding as aforesaid without the Company’s written consent to such compromise or settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. |
8.7 | If required by law, the Company’s authorized organs will consider the request for indemnification and the amount thereof and will determine if you are entitled to indemnification and the amount thereof. In the event that you make a request for payment of an amount of indemnification hereunder or a request for an advancement of indemnification expenses hereunder and the Company fails to determine your right to indemnification hereunder or fails to make such payment or advancement, you may petition any court which has jurisdiction to enforce the Company’s obligations hereunder. The Company agrees to reimburse you in full for any reasonable expenses incurred by you in connection with investigating, preparing for, litigating, defending or settling any action brought by you under the immediately preceding sentence or otherwise in enforcing this Indemnification Agreement, except where such action or any claim or counterclaim in connection therewith is resolved in favor of the Company. |
8.8 | Neither the Company nor any of its agents, employees, directors or officers shall make any statement to the public or to any other person regarding any settlement of claims made pursuant to this Indemnification Agreement against you that would in any manner cast any negative light, inference or aspersion against you. |
8.9 | By signing this Indemnification Agreement you hereby accept that you shall not make any statement to the public or to any other person regarding any settlement of claims made pursuant to this Indemnification Agreement against you or the Company (including any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof) that would in any manner cast any negative light, inference or aspersion against the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof, and that you will keep the terms of such settlement confidential. |
5 |
9. | The Company hereby exempts you, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from any liability for damages caused as a result of a breach of your duty of care to the Company while acting in good faith and having reasonable basis to assume that such act or omission would not prejudice the interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, provided that in no event shall you be exempt with respect to any actions listed in Section 2 above or for a breach of your duty of care in connection with a Distribution (as defined in the Companies Law) or with respect to any action or omission as to which, under applicable law, the Company is not entitled to exculpate you. |
10. | If for the validation of any of the undertakings in this Indemnification Agreement, any act, resolution, approval or other procedure is required, the Company undertakes to cause them to be done or adopted in a manner which will enable the Company to fulfill all its undertakings as aforesaid. |
11. | Nothing contained in this Indemnification Agreement shall derogate from the Company’s right (but in no way obligation) to indemnify you post factum for any amounts which you may be obligated to pay as set forth in Section 1 above without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 5 above. Your rights of indemnification hereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights you may have under the Company’s Articles of Association or applicable law or otherwise. |
12. | If any undertaking included in this Indemnification Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any of the other undertakings which will remain in full force and effect. Furthermore, if such invalid or unenforceable undertaking may be modified or amended so as to be valid and enforceable as a matter of law, such undertaking will be deemed to have been modified or amended, and any competent court or arbitrator is hereby authorized to modify or amend such undertaking, so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. |
13. | This Indemnification Agreement and the agreements herein shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to the rules of conflict of laws. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising in relation to this Indemnification Agreement, will be exclusively referred to the competent court in Haifa, Israel. |
14. | This Indemnification Agreement cancels and replaces any preceding letter of indemnification or arrangement for indemnification or exculpation that may have been issued to you by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification obligations set forth in this Indemnification Agreement will also apply, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Indemnification Agreement, with respect to actions performed or omissions committed, in your capacity as an Office Holder of the Company or in another Corporate Capacity, during the period prior to the date of this Indemnification Agreement. Notwithstanding, your rights hereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights you may have under the Company’s Articles of Association, applicable law, any agreement, a vote of shareholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. To the extent that during the period of indemnification under this Agreement the indemnification rights of the then-serving directors and/or officers are more favorable to such directors or officers than the indemnification rights provided under this Indemnification Agreement to you, you shall be entitled to the full benefits of such more favorable indemnification rights to the extent permitted by law. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Indemnification Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any of your rights under this Indemnification Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by you prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal, subject to applicable law. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy. |
15. | Neither the settlement nor termination of any proceeding nor the failure of the Company to award indemnification or to determine that indemnification is payable shall create an adverse presumption that you are not entitled to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the termination of any proceeding by judgment or order (unless such judgment or order provides so specifically) or settlement, shall not create a presumption that you did not act in good faith and in a manner which you reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that your action was unlawful. |
6 |
16. | This Indemnification Agreement shall be (a) binding upon all successors and assigns of the Company (including any transferee of all or a substantial portion of the business, shares and/or assets of the Company and any direct or indirect successor by merger or consolidation or otherwise by operation of law), and (b) binding on and shall inure to the benefit of your heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators. This Indemnification Agreement shall continue for your benefit and your heirs', personal representatives', executors' and administrators' benefit after you cease to be a director or other Office Holder of the Company or serving in another Corporate Capacity. |
17. | Except with respect to changes in the governing law which expand your right to be indemnified by the Company, no supplement, modification or amendment of this Indemnification Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by each of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Indemnification Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Indemnification Agreement (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. Any waiver shall be in writing. |
18. | All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Indemnification Agreement shall be in writing, shall be effective (i) if mailed within Israel, seven (7) business days after mailing (unless mailed abroad, in which case it shall be effective fourteen (14) business days after mailing), (ii) if by air courier, three (3) business days after delivery to the courier service, (iii) if sent by messenger, upon delivery, (iv) if sent via facsimile, upon transmission and electronic (or other) confirmation of receipt or (if transmitted and received on a non-business day) on the first business day following transmission and electronic (or other) confirmation of receipt, and (iv) if sent by email, on the date of transmission or (if transmitted and received on a non-business day) on the first business day following transmission, except where a notice is received stating that such mail has not been successfully delivered. |

Article 19. | Anti-Dilution Provisions .

For Example:
Original Number of Equity rights issued to Party A = 49
Original Number of Equity rights issued to all Parties = 100
Original Price Per Equity Right paid by Party A = 2
New Price Per Equity Right paid by Third Party = 1.75
New Number of Equity Rights Issued to Third Party = 50
(100X2) + (1.75X50) = 287.5 : (100+50) = 1.916
Anti dilution protection for Party A will be:
49 x 2 = 98
98 : 1.916 = 51.14
51.14 : (100+ 50) = 34.09%

IMPORTANT NOTICES FOR THE POLICYHOLDER:
It is very important that you read the attached contract fully and with care to ensure you understand all the terms and conditions. We would, however, draw your attention to the following specific matters:
Your obligation regarding disclosure of information material to the contract: We wish to draw to your attention the obligation to inform (re)insurers of all material facts prior to the inception of this contract. Any material changes to the risk during the (re)insurance period, at renewal or if the contract is extended or amended must also be disclosed to the (re)insurers. Failure to do so could, depending on the law under which this contract is interpreted, result in the contract being made void from its inception or cancelled and liability in respect of claims being repudiated by the (re)insurers. A material fact is a fact which may influence a (re)insurer’s judgement in their assessment of a risk, including its terms and pricing. If you have any doubt as to whether information is material or not, you should disclose it.
Warranties: Warranties are important provisions contained in your insurance contract and must be exactly complied with at all times. Breach of a warranty may, depending on the law under which the contract is interpreted, entitle (re)insurers to terminate the contract from the date of that breach, and in some instances may mean that the contract does not come into effect at all. This is the position regardless of whether there is any connection between the warranty breached and any loss which leads to that breach becoming evident. A warranty may exist in the contract using other terminology and without reference to the word “warranty”. For example you may have completed a proposal/application form and deemed to have warranted the accuracy of information provided, such that any inaccuracy will constitute a breach of warranty.
Conditions Precedent to (Re)Insurers’ Liability: There are two types of condition precedent. If a condition precedent to the validity of this contract or the commencement of the (re)insurance is not complied with, the insurer will not come on risk. If a condition precedent to the insurer’s liability under this contract is not complied with, the insurer will not be liable for the loss in question. A condition precedent may exist in the contract using other terminology and without reference to the words “condition precedent”.
Subjectivities: Should this (re)insurance be subject to any specific conditions being complied with or information being provided to (re)insurers by a certain date, they will be detailed under the heading “Subjectivities”. Please ensure you comply with any requirements appearing there within the stated timescale as failure to do so may prejudice your coverage. If you cannot comply with the terms, you must notify us in good time.
Notification of any claims.
All claims or circumstances which may potentially lead to a claim must be notified promptly. The prompt notification of claims is a requirement of all insurance contracts. Please ensure you are familiar with the claims notification procedure contained in this contract and in particular any time constraints as failure to comply with this might prejudice your position should a claim occur.

SEVERAL LIABILITY:
The liability of an insurer under this contract is several and not joint with other insurers party to this contract. An insurer is liable only for the proportion of liability it has underwritten. An insurer is not jointly liable for the proportion of liability underwritten by any other insurer. Nor is an insurer otherwise responsible for any liability of any other insurer that may underwrite this contract. The proportion of liability under this contract underwritten by an insurer (or, in the case of a Lloyd’s syndicate, the total of the proportions underwritten by all the members of the syndicate taken together) is shown in this contract.
In the case of a Lloyd’s syndicate, each member of the syndicate (rather than the syndicate itself) is an insurer. Each member has underwritten a proportion of the total shown for the syndicate (that total itself being the total of the proportions underwritten by all the members of the syndicate taken together). The liability of each member of the syndicate is several and not joint with other members. A member is liable only for that member’s proportion. A member is not jointly liable for any other member’s proportion. Nor is any member otherwise responsible for any liability of any other insurer that may underwrite this contract. The business address of each member is Lloyd’s, One Lime Street, London EC3M 7HA. The identity of each member of a Lloyd’s syndicate and their respective proportion may be obtained by writing to Market Services, Lloyd’s, at the above address.
Although reference is made at various points in this clause to “this contract” in the singular, where the circumstances so require this should be read as a reference to contracts in the plural.

5. | THE AREA OF THE PREMISES |
The boundaries of the premises are as marked in Appendix B to this contract.
Insofar as payments are concerned that the Tenant must pay the Landlord and/or the Management Company pursuant to this contract, deriving from the area of the premises, the calculation will be done according to the “area of the premises” as stipulated in Appendix A , which is determined as follows:
“Area of the Premises” – The measured area of the premises pursuant to the following principles in addition to the load of a relative part of the public areas of a rate of 25% (Hereinafter: “ The Load ”) of the measured area of the premises, whereby the load calculation stated above will be done in the following manner. The measured area of the premises pursuant to the principles detailed below, divided by 0.75. The measured area of the premises is determined and/or will be determined by a survey executed by the architect and/or certified surveyor on the Landlord’s behalf. Upon measuring the area of the premises the contour area of the premises was taken into account, i.e. the area of the floor of the premises including the area of the columns, internal walls, exterior walls (with respect to the area of the walls common to the premises and the other premises in the complex only one half of the area upon which the wall was built will be taken into account), the area of the storage and utilities spaces, the area of the gallery or the second floor of the premises, if applicable, and the area of the balconies if applicable.
Signed confirmation by the architect and/or certified surveyor pertaining to the measured area of the premises as determined in such a survey will be considered final and conclusive proof of the area of the premises (before adding the load) for such charges purposes.

To avoid doubt, the execution of the loan calculation will not grant the Tenant rights in the public areas.
Notwithstanding the above, it is clarified that for the purpose of charging the Tenant the payments to the municipality or the local authority (such as rates) for the premises, the area of the premises will be determined by the municipality or local authority, as applicable, pursuant to its calculations.

A. | Overview and Objectives |
1. | Introduction |
This document sets forth the compensation policy for Executive Officers (as defined below) and directors (this “ Compensation Policy ” or “ Policy ”) of InMode Ltd. and its subsidiaries worldwide (respectively “ InMode ” and collectively, the “ Group ”), in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Law 5759-1999 (including the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “ Companies Law ”).
Compensation is a key component of InMode’s overall human capital strategy to attract, retain, reward, and motivate highly skilled individuals that will enhance the Group’s value and otherwise assist the Group to reach its business and financial short and long term goals. Accordingly, the structure of this Policy was established to tie the compensation of each Executive Officer and director to the Group's goals and performance.
For purposes of this Policy, “ Executive Officers ” shall mean “Office Holders” of InMode as such term is defined in Section 1 of the Companies Law, and executives of the subsidiaries of InMode worldwide who are directly subordinated to the CEO of InMode (in this Policy, the “ CEO ” ) , excluding directors of InMode.
With respect to a person engaged both as a director in InMode and as an Executive Officer, in the event of a contradiction between the different provisions of this Policy which apply to Executive Officers and the provisions of this Policy which apply to directors, the provisions of this Policy which apply to such person's capacity as an Executive Officer shall govern.
This Compensation Policy shall apply to compensation agreements and arrangements which will be approved after the date on which this Compensation Policy is approved by the general meeting of InMode’s shareholders and shall serve as InMode’s Compensation Policy for the maximum period of time permitted by applicable law.
The Compensation Committee (upon its appointment in accordance with applicable law) and the Board of Directors of InMode (the “ Compensation Committee ” and “ Board ”, respectively) shall review and reassess the adequacy of this Policy from time to time, as required by the Companies Law.
It should be clarified, that wherever reference is made to the required approvals in this Compensation Policy, such reference relates to the applicable law as of the date of approval of this Compensation Policy and in any case is subject to the provisions of sections 33 and 35 below.
Each of the Executive Officers may be engaged as an employee and/or as an independent service provider (including through a company controlled by him or her, against the issuance of a tax invoice to the Company or the relevant Group entity), provided that if the Executive Officer is engaged as an independent service provider the total amount paid to him or her, excluding VAT, shall not exceed the maximum Employment Cost amounts with respect to Executive Officers, as applicable, who are engaged as employees as specified in this Policy.
2. | Objectives |
InMode’s objectives and goals in setting this Compensation Policy are to attract, motivate and retain highly experienced personnel who will provide leadership for the Group’s success and enhance InMode’s shareholders’ value, while supporting a performance culture that is based on merit, and rewards excellent performance in the short and long term, while recognizing InMode’s core values. To that end, this Policy is designed, among others:
2.1. | To closely align the interests of the Executive Officers and directors with those of InMode’s shareholders in order to enhance shareholder value; |
3 |
2.2. | To provide the Executive Officers and directors with a structured compensation package, while creating a balance between the fixed components, i.e. , the base salaries and benefits, and the variable compensation, such as bonuses and equity-based compensation in order to minimize potential conflicts between the interests of Executive Officers and directors and those of the Group; |
2.3. | To strengthen the retention and the motivation of Executive Officers and directors in the short and long term. |
2.4. | This Compensation Policy was prepared taking into account the Group’s nature, size and business and financial characteristics. |
3. | Compensation structure and instruments |
Compensation instruments under this Compensation Policy may include the following:
w | Base salary; |
w | Benefits and perquisites; |
w | Cash bonuses (short-to-medium term incentive); |
w | Equity based compensation (medium-to-long term incentive); and |
w | Retirement and termination of service arrangements payments. |
For the purposes of this Compensation Policy:
“ Base Salary ” shall mean: gross salary, before contributions to social benefits;
“ Employment Cost ” shall mean: any payment for the employment and/or engagement under a consultancy or service agreement, including contributions to social benefits, car and expenses of the use thereof, bonuses and any other benefit or payment as defined in the first Addendum “A” to the Companies Law.
4. | Overall Compensation - Ratio between Fixed and Variable Compensation |
This Policy aims to balance the mix of “fixed compensation”, comprised of Base Salary and benefits (“ Fixed Compensation ”) and “variable compensation”, comprised of cash bonuses and equity based compensation 1 (excluding adjustment period/retirement bonuses, granted in accordance with section 21 below) (“ Variable Compensation ”) in order to, among other things, appropriately incentivize Executive Officers to meet InMode’s short and long term goals while taking into consideration the Group’s need to manage a variety of business risks.
The total Variable Compensation of each Executive Officer shall not exceed 85% of the total compensation package of such Executive Officer on an annual basis. The Board believes that such range expresses the appropriate compensation mix in the event that all performance objectives are achieved and assumes that all compensation elements are granted with respect to a given year.
It should be clarified, that the Fixed Compensation may constitute 100% of the total compensation package for an Executive Officer or director in any year (under circumstances in which a variable component will not be approved for that year and/or in the event of a failure to meet the set goals, if and when determined).
1 Based on the fair value on the date of grant, calculated annually, on a linear basis.

5. | Intra-Group Compensation Ratio |
In the process of drafting this Policy, InMode’s Board has examined the ratio between Employment Cost associated with the engagement of the Executive Officers and directors during the 2018 calendar year (the “ Executive Officers Cost ”) and the average and median employer cost associated with the engagement of the other employees of the Group during the same period (the “ Other Employees Cost ” and the “ Ratio ”, respectively). The Board believes that the current Ratio does not adversely impact the work environment in InMode. The following are the ratios as of the date of the approval of this Compensation Policy 2 :
Position |
Ratio between the
Executive Officers Cost and the average Other Employees Cost |
Ratio between the
Executive Officers Cost and the median Other Employees Cost |

When determining the Base Salary, InMode and other entities in the Group may also decide to consider, at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board and as required, the prevailing pay levels in the relevant market, Base Salary and the total compensation package of comparable Executive Officers in the Group, the proportion between the Executive Officer’s compensation package and the salaries of other employees in the Group and specifically the median and average salaries and the effect of such proportions on the work relations in the Group. |

The Executive Officer | Maximum Annual Base Salary | |||
CEO; President North America | $ | 500,000 | ||
Other Executive Officers (excluding directors) | $ | 300,000 |
2 The above ratios are based on the Employment Cost during 2018 calendar year. In calculating the above ratios, the Employment Cost for each employee/Executive Officer was divided by the actual number of months such employee/Executive Officer was engaged by the Company during 2018 calendar year.

12.2. | The main objectives of the equity-based compensation is to enhance the alignment between the Executive Officers’ and directors’ interests with the long term interests of InMode and its shareholders, and to strengthen the retention and the motivation of Executive Officers and directors in the medium-to-long term. In addition, since equity-based awards are structured to vest over time, their incentive value to recipients is aligned with longer-term strategic plans. |
8 |
12.3. | The equity based compensation offered by InMode is intended to be in a form of options exercisable into shares, restricted shares and/or other equity based awards, such as restricted share units (RSUs), in accordance with the Group’s incentive plan(s) in place as may be updated from time to time. 3 |

Subject to any applicable law, InMode may determine, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board (and with respect to InMode’s directors and CEO- also InMode’s general meeting of shareholders to the extent required by the Companies Law), the tax regime under which equity-based compensation may be granted, including a tax regime which will maximize the benefit to the Executive Officers and directors.

16. | Vesting |
All equity-based incentives granted to Executive Officers and directors shall be subject to vesting periods in order to promote long-term retention of such recipients. Grants to Executive Officers shall vest gradually over a period of at least two years, while grants to directors shall vest over a period of at least one year. Such grants may be vested on a quarterly, semi-annual or an annual basis, or based on other time periods (which may not be necessarily equal), as determined by InMode (subject to the approvals of the Compensation Committee and the Board, and with respect to InMode’s directors and CEO- also InMode’s general meeting of shareholders to the extent required by the Companies Law). InMode (subject to the abovementioned required approvals) may condition the vesting of part or all of the equity-based incentives, for some or all of its Executive Officers and directors, upon the achievement of predetermined performance goals. InMode (subject to the abovementioned required approvals) may also set terms relating to vesting in connection with an Executive Officer or director leaving the Group (due to a dismissal, resignation, death or disability).
3 The equity based compensation is based on the fair value on the date of grant, calculated annually, on a linear basis.
