Each of Company, Parent and Purchaser shall cause their respective legal counsel, advisors and accountants to coordinate all activities, and to cooperate with each other, with respect to the preparation and filing of such application and in the preparation of any written or oral submissions that may be necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Israeli Option Tax Ruling.

If the Israeli Option Tax Ruling is not granted prior to Closing, the Company shall seek to receive prior to the Closing an interim tax ruling confirming, among other things, that Purchaser and anyone acting on its behalf shall be exempt from Israeli withholding tax in relation to any payments made to the 102 Trustee (the “Interim Option Ruling”).

The Rep Expense Amount will be used by the Holder Representative for the payment of the Rep Expenses, as further described in Section 11.02 herein. The Selling Shareholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Rep Expense Amount and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Holder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings.

In the event that the Holder Representatives has not used the entire Rep Expense Amount at such time as the applicable Escrow Period expires or promptly following the completion of the Holder Representative’s duties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Holder Representative will deliver any remaining Rep Expense Amount to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Indemnifying Persons, per the mechanism described under ‎Section 2.05, to the Indemnifying Persons pro rata to their respective Indemnity Pro Rata Share. If the Rep Expense Amount shall be insufficient to reimburse the Holder Representative’s expenses in accordance with this Agreement, then upon written request of the Holder Representative, each Selling Shareholder shall make a payment of its respective share of such additional expenses to the Holder Representative, based on such Selling Shareholder’s Indemnity Pro Rata Share; provided, however, that any additional payment by each Selling Shareholder shall not impact any of the obligations of each Selling Shareholder pursuant to ‎Article X below.

Such Selling Shareholder, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Consideration Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Selling Shareholder is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Consideration Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

Such Selling Shareholder acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the ancillary agreements relating to this Agreement (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Consideration Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Consideration Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.

 

Each Selling Shareholder understands and acknowledges that any part hereof may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Consideration Shares, other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 under the Act, to an affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule 144) of Such Selling Shareholder or in connection with a pledge, the Purchaser or the Parent may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Purchaser or the Parent, as applicable, an opinion of counsel to such Selling Shareholder, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Consideration Shares under the Securities Act.

 

Each Selling Shareholder agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required, of a legend on any of the Consideration Shares issuable upon the transactions in this Agreement in the following form:

 

“THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.”

Each certificate representing the Consideration Shares, if such Consideration Shares are being offered in reliance upon Regulation S, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws):

 

“THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER SUCH SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF REGULATION S PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AND BASED ON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT THE PROVISIONS OF REGULATION S HAVE BEEN SATISFIED, (2) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (3) PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, IN WHICH CASE THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISH TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.”

Article X
Indemnification

 

Section 10.01 Survival Periods

 

The representations and warranties of the Company and the Selling Shareholders contained in this Agreement, or in the Company Closing Certificate delivered by them to the Parent and the Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to the terms this Agreement, shall survive the Closing (i) with respect to the Fundamental Representations – until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, (ii) with respect to the Founders' Regular Representations - until 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the Business Day immediately following the expiration of thirty six (36) months from the Closing Date, and (iii) with respect to the Non-Founders’ Regular Representations - until 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the Business Day immediately following the expiration of twenty-four (24) months from the Closing Date (the first day following the last day of each of the foregoing survivability periods, as applicable, the “Release Date”). None of the representations or warranties of the Parent or Purchaser shall survive the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall the termination of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements affect any claim for or arising out of or relating to fraud, willful misrepresentation or intentional breach. The Parties agree that if a Claim Notice (as such term is defined below) in accordance with the terms herein is duly and timely delivered to the Holder Representative, in good faith and on reasonable grounds, with respect to an Indemnified Event occurring prior to the Release Date, then the lapsing of the representations and warranties shall not affect the claim specified in such Claim Notice, which claim shall survive until finally resolved in accordance with Section 10.04. Any claim (other than for fraud or willful misrepresentation) with respect to which a Claim Notice was not delivered to the Holder Representative, prior to the Release Date shall be deemed to have been waived and shall be absolutely and forever barred and unenforceable, null and void, and of no force or effect whatsoever and the Company and Selling Shareholders shall have no liability with respect thereto. By way of clarification for the purpose of ensuring compliance with the Israeli Limitation Law, 5718-1958, it is the express intent of the Parties that, if the applicable survival period for an item as contemplated by this Section 10.01 is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such item shall be reduced to the shortened survival period contemplated hereby in this Article X. The Parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Section 10.01 for the assertion of claims are the result of arms’-length negotiation among the Parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the Parties.

 

Section 10.02 Indemnification by Indemnifying Persons

 

(A) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article X, each Selling Shareholder (each, an “Indemnifying Person”), from and after the Closing shall, severally and not jointly (each in accordance with its applicable Indemnity Pro Rata Share), indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Parent, the Purchaser, their Affiliates, and their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents (including, from and after the Closing, the Company) and their successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”), and shall reimburse the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for, any Losses to the extent directly arising from or in connection with (each, an “Indemnified Event”):

 

(a) any misstatement or inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or by such Indemnifying Person in this Agreement or any certificate delivered to the Purchaser or the Parent by the Company in accordance with this Agreement to be true and correct as of the Closing (except in the case of representations and warranties which by their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct on and as of such specified date or dates);

 

72

 

 

(b) any breach of any covenant or obligation of the Company or such Indemnifying Person in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered at the Closing by or on behalf of the Company or such Indemnifying Person pursuant to this Agreement, to perform or comply with such covenant or obligation on or prior to the Closing;

 

(c) any misstatement or inaccuracy in the Consideration Allocation Certificate, in any such case, has resulted in entitlement to additional payment or issuance of additional securities by Parent which was not included in the Consideration Allocation Certificate; and

Without derogating from the aforesaid, if any Indemnified Person waives a claim, decides not to pursue a cause of action or elects not enforce a judgment or a settlement against one or more Selling Shareholder (for any reason whatsoever, including conflicting business arrangements, ease of collection and the like) then: (i) such a waiver will not be deemed as a waiver or an estopel of all or part of the claim against other Selling Shareholders and the Indemnified Person will be able to bring or pursue a claim and/or collect the entire Indemnity Pro Rata Share of any Losses regarding such a claim from any other Selling Shareholder, and (ii) a Selling Shareholder will not be entitled to raise a defense that such an action will result in a limitation of its indemnity obligation and will result and a reduction of the amount it should pay according to the terms of this Agreement

(f) Except with respect to fraud, willful misrepresentation or intentional breach of an Indemnifying Person, and further subject to the provisions of Section ‎Section 12.10, the indemnity obligations contained in this Article X shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Purchaser Indemnified Party for Losses in connection with this Agreement whether pursuant to contract, tort or other theory of law.

 

(g) The Parties hereby agree that where one and the same set of facts or circumstances qualify under more than one provision entitling a Purchaser Indemnified Party to a claim or indemnification under this Agreement, then the maximum amount that may be claimed thereunder under all applicable claims or indemnifications shall be limited to the Losses suffered therefrom subject to the provisions of this Section.

 

(h) Each Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the scope and effect of any and all Losses indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Persons hereunder

Section 10.04 Procedure for Indemnification; Third Party Claims

(2) to the extent possible, containing a good faith non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount which such Purchaser Indemnified Party claims to be entitled to receive hereunder, which shall be an estimate of the amount of Losses such Purchaser Indemnified Party claims to have so incurred or suffered (the aggregate amount of such estimate being referred to as the “Claimed Amount”) together with any supporting documentation; and

 

(3) containing a brief description (based upon the information then possessed by Purchaser Indemnified Party) of the material facts known to the Purchaser Indemnified Party giving rise to such claim, together with supporting documentation.

 

(b) Dispute Procedure. During the thirty (30) days' period commencing upon the date that an Officer's Claim Notice is deemed duly delivered pursuant to clause above to the Holder Representative, the Holder Representative may deliver to Purchaser Indemnified Party a written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the Holder Representative either: (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Purchaser Indemnified Party; or (ii) agrees that a portion, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) is owed to the Purchaser Indemnified Party; or (iii) indicates that no portion of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Purchaser Indemnified Party. Any part of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed to be owed to the Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to the Response Notice shall be referred to as a “Contested Amount”.

 

(c) Payment of Agreed Amount. Subject to the term, conditions and limitation set forth in this ARTICLE X, if the Holder Representative delivers to the Purchaser Indemnified Party a Response Notice agreeing that the full Claimed Amount or an Agreed Amount is owed to the Purchaser Indemnified Party, then during the applicable Escrow Period, the Holder Representative shall promptly notify the Escrow Agent thereof and instruct the Escrow Agent to release the full Claimed Amount or the Agreed Amount, as applicable, from the applicable Escrow Fund and wire such amount to the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party. With respect to any payment hereunder, as long as any amount remains in the Escrow Fund, indemnification shall be sought from the Escrow Fund (and first, from any cash component of the Escrow Fund and then from any Consideration Shares deposited therein). Only after the expiration of the Escrow Period, and provided that no amount remains in the Escrow Fund, then within forty-five (45) Business Days following the delivery of such Response Notice to Purchaser Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Persons shall pay the Claimed Amount or the Agreed Amount, as the case may be, to the Purchaser Indemnified Party, in each case subject to the limitations set forth herein and in accordance with their respective Indemnity Pro Rata Share.

 

(d) Resolution between the Parties. If the Holder Representative delivers to the Purchaser Indemnified Party a Response Notice indicating that there is a Contested Amount, the Holder Representative and Purchaser Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount. If Purchaser Indemnified Party and the Holder Representative resolve such dispute, such resolution shall be binding and a settlement agreement stipulating the amount owed to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (the “Stipulated Amount”), shall be signed by Purchaser and the Holder Representative, and (i) during the applicable Escrow Period, the Holder Representative shall notify the Escrow Agent thereof, or (ii) after expiration of the applicable Escrow Period, Indemnifying Persons shall within forty-five (45) Business Days following the execution of such settlement agreement pay the Stipulated Amount to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties subject to the limitations set forth herein and in accordance with their respective Indemnity Pro Rata Share. If the Holder Representative and Purchaser are unable to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount, each of the Holder Representative or the Purchaser may refer to the dispute for resolution in accordance with Section ‎Section 12.06.

 

75

 

 

(e) Except as otherwise provided for in this ‎Section 10.04, in the event that any Purchaser Indemnified Party receives a notice of the assertion of any third-party claim from any Person (other than a Party hereto) (“Third Party Claim”) for which such Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article X, then the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notice to the Holder Representative, promptly as reasonably practicable. Failure to so notify the Holder Representative shall not relieve the Indemnifying Persons of any liability except to the extent that the defense of such Third Party Claim is materially prejudiced thereby. The Holder Representative shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Persons, be entitled to participate in any defense of such Third Party Claim and shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications in a timely manner with respect to the Third-Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not adversely affect any material privilege relating to any Purchaser Indemnified Party; provided, however, that any Purchaser Indemnified Party shall have full control over the litigation, including settlement and compromise thereof. If the Holder Representative does not consent to any settlement of a Third Party Claim (unless if such consent is unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), such settlement shall not be determinative as to the existence of, or amount of, Losses or as to the entitlement of the Purchaser Indemnified Party for indemnification in that respect hereunder. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Party in so defending a Third Party Claim for which the Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled herein shall constitute Losses.

 

(f) With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article X: (i) both the Purchaser Indemnified Parties subject to such Third Party Claim and the Holder Representative shall keep the other Person fully informed in all material respects of the status of such Third Party Claim and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) to the extent possible, the Parties agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third Party Claim.

 

(g) With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article X, the Parties shall cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all confidential information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each Party agrees that: (i) it will use commercially reasonable efforts, in respect of any Third Party Claim in which it has assumed or has participated in the defense, to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law and rules of procedure) and (ii) all communications between any Parties hereto and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim will, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

 

(h) Tax Contest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Holder Representative (or a representative of the Indemnifying Persons if there is no Holder Representative), shall have the right to participate in any Tax Contest for which any of the Indemnifying Persons would be required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Agreement, unless such participation is legally impermissible or prohibited by the relevant Authority. If participating in a Tax Contest, the Holder Representative (or a representative of the Indemnifying Persons if there is no Holder Representative) shall bear its own respective legal and other costs associated with the Tax Contest. For purposes of this Section, the term "Tax Contest" shall mean an audit, review, examination, or any other administrative or judicial proceeding with the purpose or effect of redetermining Tax Liabilities (including any administrative or judicial review of any claim for refund with respect to such Tax Liabilities). "Tax Liabilities" for purposes hereof means solely liability for Special Tax Claims covered by the Special Tax Escrow Fund.

Section 10.05 No Right of Contribution

 

No Equityholder shall initiate any Proceeding for indemnification or contribution from the Parent, Purchaser, Company, or any employee, officer, director or agent thereof, with respect to any indemnity claims arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Documents, to the extent that any Person is entitled to indemnification for such claim, and each Equityholder hereby waives any such right of indemnification or contribution from the Parent, Purchaser and/or Company that it has or may have in the future.

 

Section 10.06 Effect of Investigation; Reliance

 

The right to indemnification for Losses in this Article X or the availability of any other remedy will not be affected by any investigation conducted by any Purchaser Indemnified Party or its Representatives with respect to, or any knowledge possessed or acquired (or capable of being acquired) by any Purchaser Indemnified Party or its Representatives at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or on behalf of the Company or any Selling Shareholders or any other matter. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Losses, or any other remedy based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be required to show reliance on any representation, warranty, certificate or other agreement in order for such Purchaser Indemnified Party to be entitled to indemnification hereunder. All indemnification rights hereunder shall survive the execution and delivery of the Documents and the consummation of the Transactions in accordance with the terms of this Article X, regardless of any investigation, inquiry or examination made for or on behalf of, or any knowledge of either the Purchaser or any of the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the acceptance by the Purchaser or any of the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties of any certificate or opinion.

(a) By virtue of the execution of this Agreement, each Selling Shareholder, hereby irrevocably agrees, constitutes and appoints the Holder Representative (and by the execution of this Agreement as a Holder Representative, the Holder Representative hereby accepts each of its appointment), as of the Closing, as the true, exclusive and lawful representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of each of the Selling Shareholders for all purposes in connection with this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto, including to act: (i) as a Holder Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other applicable Document and to have the right, power and authority to perform all actions (or refrain from taking any actions) the Holder Representative deems necessary, appropriate or advisable in connection with, or related to, this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, any other applicable Document and the Transactions, (ii) in the name, place and stead of each Selling Shareholder (A) in connection with the Transactions, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and (B) in any Proceeding involving this Agreement, and (iii) to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents as the Holder Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the Transactions (including any Document). This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. All actions, decisions and instructions of the Holder Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon all of the Selling Shareholders.

 

77

 

 

(b) Without derogating from the generality of the foregoing, as of the date of this Agreement, the Holder Representative shall have the right, power and authority to:

 

(1) act for the Selling Shareholders with regard to all matters set forth in this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto, including those pertaining to the indemnification referred to in this Agreement, the power to compromise or settle any claim or any indemnity claim on behalf of the Selling Shareholders and to transact matters of litigation or other Proceedings (except as expressly provided herein and except with respect to any actions with respect to Losses recoverable from any source other than the Escrow Fund);

 

(2) execute and deliver the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement on behalf of all Selling Shareholders and all amendments, waivers, ancillary agreements, share powers, certificates and documents that the Holder Representative deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the Transactions;

 

(3) receive funds for the payment of expenses of the Selling Shareholders and apply such funds in payment for such expenses;

 

(4) do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of the Selling Shareholders that the Holder Representative deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as the Selling Shareholders could do if personally present;

 

(5) give and receive all notices or other required or permitted documents, instructions and communications given or to be given to the Holder Representative by Parent or Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreement (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by each Selling Shareholder individually);

 

(6) receive service of process on behalf of any Selling Shareholders in connection with any claims under this Agreement (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by each Selling Shareholder individually);

 

(7) negotiate, undertake, compromise, defend, resolve and settle any suit, Proceeding, claim or dispute under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement on behalf of the Selling Shareholders , in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement;

 

(8) engage special counsel, accountants and other advisors and incur such other expenses in connection with the Transactions;

 

78

 

 

(9) take such other action as the Holder Representative may deem appropriate, including:

 

(i) agreeing to any modification or amendment of this Agreement in accordance with ‎Section 12.11 or the Escrow Agreement and executing and delivering an agreement of such modification or amendment;

 

(ii) taking any actions required or permitted under the Escrow Agreement; and

 

(iii) all such other matters as the Holder Representative may deem necessary, appropriate or advisable to carry out the intents and purposes of this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto.

 

(c) The Holder Representative may resign at any time by giving at least ten (10) days’ notice to the Purchaser and the Selling Shareholders, and may be removed or replaced (or in the event the Holder Representative has resigned, a successor may be appointed) only upon delivery of written notice to the Company and the Purchaser by the Selling Shareholders holding at least sixty percent (60%) of the issued and outstanding Company Shares, counted together as a single class, on an as-converted-to Company Ordinary Shares basis (or following the Closing, Selling Shareholders that immediately prior to the Closing held at least sixty percent (60%) of the Company Shares, counted together as a single class, on an as-converted-to Company Ordinary Shares basis); provided, however, that such removal shall not be effective unless and until a successor Holder Representative has been appointed and accepts such position and the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. As soon as practically possible following the resignation of the Holder Representative, as set forth above, the Selling Shareholders undertake to appoint a replacement therefor subject to the affirmative vote of the Selling Shareholders holding at least sixty percent (60%) of the issued and outstanding Company Shares, counted together as a single class, on an as-converted-to Company Ordinary Shares basis (or following the Closing, Selling Shareholders that immediately prior to the Closing held at least sixty percent (60%) of the Company Shares, counted together as a single class, on an as-converted-to Company Ordinary Shares basis). If the Selling Shareholders fail to appoint a replacement within seven (7) Business Days following such removal or resignation then Mr. Eli David will be authorized to nominate the replacement, and such newly nominated representative shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the Holder Representative, until duly replaced by the Selling Shareholders as provided above. Parent, Purchaser, the Company and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of the Holder Representative in all matters referred to herein (within its authority described above).

 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, the powers conferred above shall not authorize or empower the Holder Representative to do or cause to be done any of the foregoing (i) in a manner that improperly discriminates between or among the Selling Shareholders; or (ii) as to any matter insofar as such matter relates solely and exclusively to a single Selling Shareholder, whereupon the Holder Representative may appoint the Selling Shareholder who is alleged to be in breach to handle all matters related to such indemnification claim on behalf of the Holder Representative, and all references to the Holder Representative in such event shall include also such Selling Shareholder. Without implying that other actions would constitute an improper discrimination, each of the Selling Shareholders agrees that discrimination between or among the Selling Shareholders solely on the basis of the respective number of Company Shares or Vested Company Options held by each Selling Shareholder or their respective Indemnity Pro Rata Share shall not be deemed to be improper. Further, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder Representative shall not be entitled to, and shall not, including by way of amending or waiving any provision hereof, take any action on behalf of any Selling Shareholder that would or could (i) cause any Selling Shareholder’s liability hereunder to exceed its Indemnity Pro Rata Share, (ii) involve any obligation, restriction or agreement other than the payment of monetary damages, (iii) result in the amounts payable hereunder to any Selling Shareholder being distributed in any manner other than as set forth in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, or (iv) result in an increase of any Selling Shareholder’s indemnity or other obligations or liabilities under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any change to the nature of the indemnity obligations), without (in each case) such Selling Shareholder’s prior written consent.

 

79

 

 

Section 11.02 Reimbursement.

 

(a) The Holder Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Rep Expense Amount other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Holder Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other purpose other than solely for the purpose of fulfilling its obligations hereunder, and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not have any right, title or interest to the Rep Expense Amount and shall not make any claims against the Rep Expense Amount under this Agreement or otherwise. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Holder Representative’s responsibilities hereunder, the Holder Representative will deliver any remaining balance of the Rep Expense Amount to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Selling Shareholders. For tax purposes, the Rep Expense Amount will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Selling Shareholders at the time of Closing. Should the Rep Expense Amount not suffice for payment of the Rep Expenses, the Holder Representative shall be entitled to call upon the Selling Shareholders to contribute additional amounts to such account, in proportion to their Indemnity Pro Rata Share. The Holder Representative shall not be required to provide to the Purchaser a copy of any document provided to the Paying Agent regarding the Rep Expense Amount.

 

(b) The Holder Representative will not be required to take any action involving any expense unless the payment of such expense is made or provided for in a manner satisfactory to him, her or it. The Selling Shareholders shall be responsible for and shall on a pro rata basis based on their Indemnity Pro Rata Share, reimburse the Holder Representative or any member thereof upon demand for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Holder Representative in connection the Holder Representative duties in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other documents executed in connection herewith or therewith, including the costs and expense of receiving advice of counsel according to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

 

Section 11.03 Release from Liability; Indemnification.

 

The Holder Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Holder Representative in connection with the Holder Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Holder Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Holder Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Selling Shareholders will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Holder Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Holder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Holder Representative, then the Selling Shareholders shall not be required to indemnify the Holder Representative for such Representative Loss and the Holder Representative will reimburse the Selling Shareholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Holder Representative by the Selling Shareholders, any such Representative Losses shall be recovered by the Holder Representative from the Rep Expense Amount and from any other funds that become payable to the Selling Shareholders under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Selling Shareholders; provided, that while this section allows the Holder Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Selling Shareholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Holder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Holder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Selling Shareholders or otherwise. Except as expressly provided herein, any and all decisions, acts, consents or instructions made or given by the Holder Representative in connection with this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement shall constitute a decision of all the Selling Shareholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each and every Selling Shareholder, and the Parent and/or Purchaser shall be entitled to rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Holder Representative. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Selling Shareholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Holder Representative under this section. The Selling Shareholders acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Holder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

(c) The Escrow Fund shall be held and distributed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.

General

 

1. As to matters of fact relevant to our opinions set forth herein, we have relied exclusively, without independent investigation or verification upon the representations and warranties contained and made by the Company in the Agreement and upon certificates of certain governmental officials and officers of the Company as required by the Agreement.

7. We have assumed that the documents examined by us have not been amended, supplemented, updated or otherwise modified, that there are no agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral, and there is no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties that would, in either case, define, supplement or qualify the terms of the Transaction Documents.
