4. TREATMENT OF ESCROW MONEYS. Escrow Moneys shall be held by the Escrow Agent in the Escrow Account and shall be kept separate from, and shall not be co-mingled with, any other moneys. No portion of the Escrow Moneys or any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, sold, assigned, or transferred, including by operation of law, by the Escrow Agent, the Company or Purchaser, nor may it be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of the Escrow Agent, the Company or Purchaser before the release of the Escrow Moneys by the Escrow Agent to the Company or Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not release any of the Escrow Moneys, except as provided in this Agreement. During the term of this Escrow Agreement, the funds will be held in a transaction account in IBI Investment House. The Escrow Moneys and any investment income thereon will be invested in a NIS interest bearing weekly deposit, or as shall be instructed otherwise in writing, from time to time, by both the Company and Purchaser. The payment of the interest to the Purchaser or the Company shall be made together with the final distribution of the funds by the Escrow Agent.

Each of the Parties hereby represents and warrants to the Escrow Agent that (i) it has the power and authority to sign and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) this Agreement is duly authorized and signed and is its legal, valid and binding obligation.

6. LIABILITY OF ESCROW AGENT
6.1 Escrow Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any Liabilities which may result from anything done or omitted to be done by it in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and shall bear no obligation or responsibility to any person in respect of the operation of the Escrow Account or its application of the Escrow Moneys unless such Liability arises as a result of negligence or fraud or willful misconduct on the part of Escrow Agent, or as a result of a breach by the Escrow Agent of this Agreement. In particular, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the other Parties for any failure to maximize the amount of interest or other amounts earned on all or part of the Escrow Moneys. Under no circumstances shall Escrow Agent be liable for any consequential or special loss, or indirect, consequential or punitive damages, however caused or arising (including loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit) even if advised of the possibility of such loss or damage.

The Escrow Agent shall not be obliged to perform any additional duties unless it shall have previously agreed to perform such duties. The Escrow Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action under this Agreement that it expects will result in any expense to, or Liability for, it, the payment of which is not, in its opinion, assured to it within a reasonable time.

6.4 The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any Liability incurred in relation to the Escrow Moneys arising from any transaction made by it in good faith, or from any failure to diversify investment, or arising by reason of any other matter or thing except for any such loss or damage incurred in consequence of negligence, fraud or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent, or as a result of a breach by the Escrow Agent of this Agreement.
6.5 The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and shall not be liable for acting upon, and shall be entitled to treat as genuine and as the document it purports to be, any instruction, letter, notice or other document furnished to it by the Purchaser or the Company, or any lawyer or other expert in whatever format and by whatever means, including electronic, and believed by the Escrow Agent, in its absolute discretion, to be genuine and to have been signed and presented by the proper person or persons.

6.7 If the Escrow Agent is uncertain as to what action it should take in any circumstances, it shall be entitled to seek and rely upon, and shall be protected in acting in good faith upon, the advice or opinion of, or any information (whether addressed to the Escrow Agent or not) obtained, in the form of a written opinion setting out the basis for the Escrow Agent’s actions (which will be made available to the other Parties upon demand of any of them) from any reputable lawyer or other expert and shall not be responsible or liable for any Liability occasioned by so acting (or for any delay or inaction pending the obtaining of such advice or opinion in good faith).
6.8 The indemnities contained in this Section 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
7. FEES AND EXPENSES
7.1 The Company shall be liable for and shall pay to the Escrow Agent remuneration for its services as Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement. In consideration for the Escrow Agent's services, the Company shall pay the Escrow Agent the fees (the “Fees”) and charges set forth in Exhibit A.

7.2 All payments by the Company under this Section 7 shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatsoever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any government having power to tax, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, the Company shall pay such additional amounts as will result in receipt by the Escrow Agent of such amounts as would have been received by it if no such withholding had been required.
8. RESIGNATION & TERMINATION
8.1 Each of the Parties agrees that the Escrow Agent shall have the right to resign its appointment hereunder upon 90 days' notice delivered to each of the Purchaser and the Company. The Escrow Agent may be removed and replaced following the giving of at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Escrow Agent jointly by the Company and Purchaser. In the case of such resignation or termination, the Escrow Agent shall transfer any Escrow Moneys standing to the credit of the Escrow Account at that time to such persons as the Purchaser and Company may direct in writing subject to any costs, fees, charges, expenses or indemnity amounts owed to the Escrow Agent.

9. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement together with the Purchase Agreement and all ancillary documents thereto represents the whole agreement between the Parties in relation to its subject matter and supersedes all prior representations, promises, agreements and understandings. Solely as between the Company and Purchaser, in the event that any claim of inconsistency between this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement arises, as each such agreement may from time to time be amended, the Purchase Agreement shall control. No modification to or variation of this Agreement (or any document entered into pursuant to this Agreement) or waiver of any of the terms thereof shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of each of the Parties. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms and interpreted so as to give effect, to the fullest extent consistent with and permitted by applicable law, to the meaning and intention of the excluded provision. This Agreement is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Israel without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
