10.13 Specific Performance. The parties agree that failure of any party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder, including a party’s failure to take all actions as are necessary on such party’s part in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, will cause irreparable injury to the other party, for which monetary damages, even if available, will not be an adequate remedy. It is agreed that the parties shall be entitled to equitable relief including injunctive relief and specific performance of the terms hereof, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, and each party hereby consents to the issuance of injunctive relief by any court of competent jurisdiction to compel performance of a party’s obligations and to the granting by any court of the remedy of specific performance of such party’s obligations hereunder, this being in addition to any other remedies to which the parties are entitled at law or equity.

(a) first, so much of the securities proposed to be offered for the account of the Company (or, if such registration is pursuant to a demand by a Person that is not a Holder, for the account of such other Person) as would not cause the offering to exceed the Maximum Offering Size;
(b) second, all Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration by any Holders pursuant to Section 2.02 (allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the relative number of Registrable Shares so requested to be included in such registration by each); and
(c) third, any securities proposed to be registered for the account of any other Persons with such priorities among them as the Company shall determine.

(d) the Company is in a Blackout Period (which, in the event of a Blackout Period under clause (ii) of the definition thereof, the Company shall declare by delivering to the such Holder or Holders a certificate signed by either the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Company certifying that the conditions described in clause (ii) of the definition of Blackout Period are met),

the Company shall be entitled, from time to time, to provide written notice to the Holder or Holders, to require such Holder or Holders to suspend the use of the prospectus for sales of Registrable Shares relating to such Registration Statement (a “Suspension Notice”) for a period of time at the discretion of the Company (the “Suspension Period”). After the expiration of any Suspension Period and without any further request from a holder of Registrable Shares, the Company to the extent necessary shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Shares included therein, the prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, with respect to the right described herein (a “Corporate Suspension”), (x) the Company shall have the right to invoke no more than two (2) Corporate Suspensions, in the aggregate, in any twelve (12)-month period, and (y) the duration of all Corporate Suspensions may not exceed one-hundred twenty (120) days in the aggregate in any twelve (12)-month period.

(iii) In the event of a sale of any Registrable Shares by a Holder under a registration statement pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.02 or 2.03, such Holder shall deliver to the Company’s transfer agent, with a copy to the Company, a certificate of subsequent sale in the form reasonably satisfactory to the Company so that the Registrable Shares may be properly transferred. Assuming timely delivery to the Company’s transfer agent of one or more share certificates representing the Registrable Shares in proper form for transfer and assuming compliance by such Holder with the terms of this Agreement, the Company’s transfer agent will issue and make appropriate delivery of one or more share certificates in the name of the buyer so as to permit timely compliance by such Holder with applicable settlement requirements.

4. Indemnification.
(i) For the purpose of this Section 4: (i) the term “Selling Holder Indemnified Parties” shall include all Holders and any individual, firm, corporation, trust, company, government, state or agency of a state or any joint venture, association or partnership (whether or not having separate legal personality) (each, a “Person”), if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, including any officer, director, employee, trustee or Affiliate (as defined in the Investment Agreement) of such Holder; and (ii) the term “Registration Statement” shall include any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, prospectus supplement, exhibit or amendment included in or relating to any Registration Statement.
(ii) Subject to Section 10.15 of the Investment Agreement, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder Indemnified Party (and its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates (as defined in the Investment Agreement)) from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses to which such Selling Holder Indemnified Party may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (ii) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, any state securities or “blue sky” laws or any rule or regulation thereunder in connection with such Registration Statement, and the Company shall reimburse such Selling Holder Indemnified Party (and such Selling Holder Indemnified Party’s officers, directors, employees and Affiliates (as defined in the Investment Agreement)) for any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon (i) any breach of representation or warranty by such Holder or Holders in this Agreement, (ii) an untrue statement made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Selling Holder Indemnified Party specifically for use in preparation of or for inclusion in the Registration Statement, or (iii) out of sales of Registrable Shares made during a Suspension Period after notice is given pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof or the failure of the Selling Holder to comply with its covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement respecting the sale of the Registrable Shares.

A-14
(iii) Each Selling Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Company) from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses to which the Company (or any such officer, director or controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such Selling Holder specifically for use in preparation of or for inclusion in the Registration Statement, and such Selling Holder shall reimburse the Company (or such officer, director or controlling person, as the case may be), for any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that such Selling Holder’s aforesaid obligation to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse shall be limited to the gross proceeds (net of any underwriting discount or commissions) received from the sale by such Selling Holder of the Registrable Shares.
(iv) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 4, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under Section 4(ii) or (iii) above unless and to the extent such action and such failure results in material prejudice to the indemnifying party and forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in Section 4(ii) or (iii) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, except as provided in the next sentence, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s rights in the prior sentence, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel (and one local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general circumstances or allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties. An indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Section 4 to any indemnified party regarding any settlement 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 is consented to by such indemnifying party. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise unless such settlement or compromise (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

A-15
(v) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified person under Section 4(ii) or (iii) in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying person shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Selling Holder, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions or other matters which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, in the case of an untrue statement, whether the untrue statement relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or a Selling Holder or other Selling Holder on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement. The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Selling Holder and other Selling Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 4. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, no Selling Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of gross proceeds (net of any underwriting discounts or commissions) received from the sale by the Holders of the Registrable Shares to which such loss, claim, damage or liability relates exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holders have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement. 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.
(vi) The provisions of this Section 4 will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any shareholder or the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling Persons referred to in this Section 4 hereof, and will survive the transfer of Registrable Shares.
(vii) To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 4 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Shares which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Shares who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation.
5. Underwritten Offerings. If a Holder intends to distribute Registrable Shares by means of an underwriting, it shall so advise the Company in writing. In such event, the underwriters of shall be one or more underwriting firms of nationally recognized standing selected by such Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company. The right of a Holder to have its Registrable Shares included in an offering shall be conditioned upon such Holder entering into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected pursuant hereto.

7. Reports under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holder the benefits of Rule 144, the Company agrees that until the date on which no Registrable Shares are outstanding, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under Exchange Act, so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and (iii) furnish to the Holder, promptly upon request, (a) a written statement by the Company as to the status of its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (b) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (c) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Holder to sell such Registrable Shares pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of [●], [●] by ReWalk Robotics Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel, registration number 00-000000-0 (the “Company”) and [●] (referred herein as “Indemnitee”).
WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee recognize the substantial increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability and coverage of liability insurance have been limited; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the Company and, in part, in order to induce Indemnitee to continue to provide services to the Company, wishes to provide for the indemnification and advancement of expense to Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law;
WHEREAS, the Indemnitee is an office holder (nose misra) (an “Office Holder”), as such term is defined in the Israeli Companies Law, 5759–1999 (the “Companies Law”); and
WHEREAS, in view of the considerations set forth above, the Company desires that Indemnitee shall be indemnified by the Company as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:
1. The Company hereby undertakes to indemnify Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by the Companies Law, on a worldwide basis, in respect of the following:
1.1. any financial obligation imposed on Indemnitee in favor of another person by, or expended by Indemnitee as a result of, a court judgment, including a settlement or an arbitrator’s award approved by court, in respect of any act or omission (“Action”) taken or made by Indemnitee in its capacity as a director or office holder of the Company and any subsidiary and/or other affiliated entity thereof (a “Subsidiary”);
1.2. all reasonable litigation expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, expended by Indemnitee or charged to Indemnitee by a court, in a proceeding instituted against Indemnitee by the Company or on its behalf or by another person, or in any criminal proceedings in which Indemnitee are acquitted, or in any criminal proceedings with respect to a crime which does not require proof of criminal intent (mens rea) in which Indemnitee are convicted, all in respect of actions taken by Indemnitee in its capacity as a director or officer of the Company and a Subsidiary thereof;

1.3. all reasonable litigation expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, expended by Indemnitee due to an investigation or a proceeding instituted against Indemnitee by an authority qualified to conduct such investigation or proceeding, where such investigation or proceeding is concluded without the filing of an indictment against Indemnitee (as defined in the Companies Law) and without any financial obligation imposed on Indemnitee in lieu of criminal proceedings (as defined in the Companies Law), or that is concluded without Indemnitee’s indictment but with a financial obligation imposed on Indemnitee in lieu of criminal proceedings with respect to a crime that does not require proof of criminal intent (mens rea), all in respect of actions taken by Indemnitee in its capacity as a director or office holder of the Company or a Subsidiary thereof. Without derogating from the generality of the foregoing, such expenses will include a payment imposed on Indemnitee in favor of an injured party as set forth in Section 52(54)(a)(1)(a) of the Israeli Securities Law, 1968 – 5728 (the “Securities Law”), and expenses that Indemnitee incurred 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 attorney fees.
1.4. The Company may give an advance undertaking to indemnify Indemnitee in respect of the following matters:
1.4.1. | Matters as detailed in Section 1.1 herein, provided, however, that the undertaking is restricted to events, which in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), are foreseeable in light of the Company’s actual activity at the time of granting the obligation to indemnify and is limited to a sum or measurement determined by the Board of Directors as reasonable under the circumstances. The indemnification undertaking shall specify the events that, in the opinion of the Board are foreseeable in light of the Company’s actual activity at the time of grant of the indemnification and the sum or measurement, which the Board determined to be reasonable under the circumstances; |
1.4.2. | Matters as detailed in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 herein; and |
1.4.3. | Any matter permitted by applicable law. |
2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not indemnify Indemnitee for any amount for which indemnification is not permitted under the Companies Law, including but not limited to:
2.1. a breach of Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company, except, to the extent permitted by Companies Law, for a breach of Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or a Subsidiary thereof while acting in good faith and having reasonable cause to assume that such act would not prejudice the interests of the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, as applicable;

2.2. a willful breach of Indemnitee’s duty of care to the Company or a Subsidiary thereof or reckless disregard for the circumstances or to the consequences of a breach of Indemnitee’s duty of care to the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, except if such breach of Indemnitee’s duty of care is solely due to negligence;
2.3. an action taken or omission by Indemnitee with the intent of unlawfully realizing personal gain; and
2.4. a fine or penalty imposed upon Indemnitee for an offense.
3. The Company will make available all amounts payable to Indemnitee in accordance with Section 1 above on the date on which such amounts are first payable by Indemnitee (“Time of Indebtedness”), including with respect to any claim against Indemnitee initiated by the Company or in its right, and with respect to items referred to in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 above, not later than the date on which the applicable court renders its decision. Advances given to cover legal expenses in criminal proceedings will be repaid by Indemnitee to the Company if Indemnitee is found guilty of a crime, which requires proof of criminal intent. Other advances will be repaid by Indemnitee to the Company if it is determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is not lawfully entitled to such indemnification.
As part of the aforementioned Agreement, the Company will make available to Indemnitee any security or guarantee that Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee‘s assets.
4. The Company will indemnify Indemnitee notwithstanding if at the relevant Time of Indebtedness Indemnitee is no longer a director or office holder of the Company and/or a Subsidiary provided that the obligations with respect to which Indemnitee will be indemnified hereunder are in respect of actions taken by Indemnitee while Indemnitee was a director or office holder of the Company and/or a Subsidiary (as applicable) as aforesaid, and in such capacity.
5. The indemnification will be limited to the matters mentioned in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 (pursuant and subject to Section 3 and insofar as indemnification with respect thereto is not restricted by law or by the provisions of Section 2 above) and to the matters mentioned in Section 1.1 above insofar as they result from, or are connected to, events and circumstances set forth in Schedule A attached hereto, which are currently deemed by the Board, based on the current activities of the Company, to be reasonably foreseeable in any jurisdiction worldwide.

6. The indemnification that the Company undertakes towards all persons whom it has resolved to indemnify for the matters and in the circumstances described herein, jointly and in the aggregate, shall be the greater of: (i) an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the shareholders’ equity in the Company, as set forth in the Company’s most recent financial statements before such payment as of the date of actual payment by the Company of the indemnification amount; (ii) US $40,000,000 (forty million US Dollars); and (iii), solely in connection with or arising out of a public offering of the Company’s securities, the aggregate amount of proceeds from the sale by the Company and/or any shareholder of Company’s securities in such offering (the greater of (i), (ii) and, if applicable, (iii), the “Maximum Indemnification Amount”); provided, that if such amount is found insufficient to cover all amounts to which such persons are entitled pursuant to such mentioned agreement by the Company, the Maximum Indemnification Amount shall be allocated to such persons pro rata to the amounts to which they are so entitled. At the end of each calendar year, the Maximum Indemnification Amount shall be automatically increased in proportion with the Directors and Officers Insurance held by the Company, unless otherwise approved by the Board.
7. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company will not indemnify Indemnitee for any liability with respect to which Indemnitee has received payment by virtue of an insurance policy or another indemnification agreement other than for amounts which are in excess of the amounts actually paid to Indemnitee pursuant to any such insurance policy or other indemnity agreement (including deductible amounts not covered by insurance policies), within the limits set forth in Section 6 above.
8. Subject to the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 above, the indemnification hereunder will, in each case, cover all sums of money that Indemnitee will be obligated to pay, in those circumstances for which indemnification is permitted under the law and under this Agreement.
9. Subject to Section 11 below (to the extent applicable), the Company will be entitled to retain any amount collected from a third party in connection with liabilities indemnified hereunder.
10. In all indemnifiable circumstances, indemnification will be subject to the following:
10.1. Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Company of any legal proceedings initiated against Indemnitee and of all possible or threatened legal proceedings without delay following your first becoming aware thereof. Indemnitee shall deliver to the Company, or to such person as it shall advise Indemnitee, without delay all documents Indemnitee receives in connection with such proceedings.
Similarly, Indemnitee hereby commits to advise the Company on an ongoing and current basis concerning all events which Indemnitee suspects may give rise to the initiation of legal proceedings against Indemnitee in connection with Indemnitee’s actions or omissions as a director or office holder of the Company or a Subsidiary thereof.

10.2. Other than with respect to proceedings that have been initiated against Indemnitee by the Company or in its name, the Company shall be entitled to undertake the conduct of Indemnitee’s 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 Indemnitee; provided that the Indemnitee shall be entitled to employ his own attorney at the reasonable expense of the Company if there is a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct of Indemnitee’s defense. The Company shall notify Indemnitee of any such decision to defend within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of notice of any such proceeding.
The Company and/or the attorney as aforesaid shall be entitled, within the context of the conduct as aforesaid, to conclude such proceedings, all as it shall see fit, including by way of settlement, subject to the exceptions described below. As a condition of Indemnitee’s entitlement to be indemnified, at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall execute all documents required to enable the Company and/or its attorney as aforesaid to conduct Indemnitee’s defense in Indemnitee’s name, and to represent Indemnitee in all matters connected therewith, in accordance with and subject to the aforesaid.
For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of criminal proceedings the Company and/or the attorneys as aforesaid will not have the right to plead guilty in Indemnitee’s name or to agree to a plea-bargain in Indemnitee’s name without Indemnitee’s consent. However, the aforesaid will not prevent the Company and/or its attorneys as aforesaid, with the approval of the Company, to enter into a settlement with a plaintiff in a civil proceeding without Indemnitee’s consent so long as such settlement will not be an admittance of an occurrence not indemnifiable pursuant to this Agreement and/or pursuant to law. The Company shall not, without Indemnitee’s prior written consent, consent to the entry of any judgment against Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) includes an admission of Indemnitee’s fault, (ii) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such proceeding or (iii) is not fully indemnifiable pursuant to this Agreement and pursuant to law. This paragraph shall not apply to a proceeding brought by Indemnitee under Section 10.7 below.
10.3. Indemnitee will fully cooperate with the Company and/or any attorney as aforesaid in every reasonable way as may be required of Indemnitee 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, provided that the Company shall cover all costs incidental thereto such that Indemnitee will not be required to pay the same or to finance the same by itself, and provided, further, that Indemnitee shall not be required to take any action that would reasonably prejudice Indemnitee’s defense in connection with any indemnifiable proceeding.

10.4. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 10.2 and 10.3 above, (i) if in a proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party by reason of its status as an Officer Holder of the Company or a Subsidiary thereof and the named parties to any such proceeding include both Indemnitee and the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest (including the availability to the Company and its Subsidiary, on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, of different or inconsistent defenses or counterclaims) exists between Indemnitee and the Company, or (ii) if the Company fails to assume the defense of such proceeding in a timely manner, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be represented by separate legal counsel, who shall represent Indemnitee and other persons similarly situated, of the Company’s choice and reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee and the other persons, at the expense of the Company. In addition, if the Company fails to comply with any of its material obligations under this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other person takes any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any action, suit or proceeding to deny or to recover from Indemnitee the benefits intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, except with respect to such actions, suits or proceedings brought by the Company that are resolved in favor of the Company, Indemnitee shall have the right to retain counsel of its choice, and reasonably acceptable to the Company and at the expense of the Company, to represent Indemnitee in connection with any such matter.
10.5. If, in accordance with Section 10.2 above (but subject to Section 10.4), the Company has taken the conduct of Indemnitee’s defense upon itself, the Company will have no liability or obligation pursuant to this Agreement or the above resolutions to indemnify Indemnitee for any legal expenses, including any legal fees, that Indemnitee may expend in connection with its defense, unless (i) the Company shall not have assumed the conduct of Indemnitee’s defense as contemplated, (ii) the Company refers the conduct of Indemnitee’s defense to an attorney who is not, upon reasonable grounds, acceptable to Indemnitee, (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both Indemnitee and the Company, and joint representation is inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct due to a conflict of interest between Indemnitee and the Company, or (iv) the Company shall agree to such expenses in any of which events all reasonable fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be borne by the Company.
10.6. The Company will have no liability or obligation pursuant to this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee for any amount expended by Indemnitee pursuant to any compromise or settlement agreement reached in any suit, demand or other proceeding as aforesaid without the Company’s consent to such compromise or settlement.

B-6
10.7. If required by law, the Company’s authorized organs will consider the request for indemnification and the amount thereof and will determine if Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification and the amount thereof. In the event that Indemnitee makes 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 Indemnitee’s right to indemnification hereunder or fails to make such payment or advancement, Indemnitee may petition any court which has jurisdiction to enforce the Company’s obligations hereunder. The Company agrees to reimburse Indemnitee in full for any reasonable expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with investigating, preparing for, litigating, defending or settling any action brought by Indemnitee under the immediately preceding sentence, except where such action or any claim or counterclaim in connection therewith is resolved in favor of the Company.
10.8. Neither the Company nor any of its 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 Letter against Indemnitee that would in any manner cast any negative light, inference or aspersion against Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall not make any statement to the public or to any other person regarding any settlement of claims made pursuant to this Indemnification Letter against the Company nor any of its directors or officers (in their capacity as such) that would in any manner cast any negative light, inference or aspersion against the Company nor any of its directors or officers (in their capacity as such).
11. Indemnification of Holding Entity.
11.1. If (i) Indemnitee is or was a representative of or affiliated with one or more entities that has invested in the Company (the “Holding Entity”), (ii) the Holding Entity is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Holding Entity Proceeding (as hereinafter defined), and (iii) the Holding Entity’s involvement in the Holding Entity Proceeding arises out of facts or circumstances that are the same or substantially similar to the facts and circumstances that form the basis of claims that have been or could be brought against the Indemnitee in a Proceeding, regardless of whether the legal basis of the claims against the Indemnitee and the Holding Entity are the same or similar, then the Holding Entity shall be entitled to all of the indemnification rights and remedies under this Agreement pursuant to this Agreement as if the Holding Entity were the Indemnitee.
11.2. “Holding Entity Proceeding” means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which a Holding Entity was, is or will be involved as a party or otherwise.

B-7
11.3. The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by a Holding Entity and certain of its affiliates and insurers (collectively, the “Holding Entity Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Holding Entity Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company (or any other agreement between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Holding Entity Indemnitors, and, (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Holding Entity Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Holding Entity Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Holding Entity Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Holding Entity Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. The Company and Indemnitee agree that the Holding Entity Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Agreement.
12. If any act, resolution, approval or other procedure is required for the validation of any of the obligations under this Agreement, the Company undertakes to cause these to be done or adopted in a manner which will enable the Company to fulfill all its obligations herein.
13. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby clarified that nothing contained in this Agreement derogates from the Company’s right to indemnify Indemnitee post factum for any amounts which Indemnitee may be obligated to pay as set forth in Section 1 above without the limitations set forth in Sections 5 and 6 above.
14. If any obligation or undertaking mentioned in this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any of the other obligations or undertakings contained herein, which shall remain in full force and effect. Furthermore, if such invalid or unenforceable obligation or undertaking may be modified or amended so as to be valid and enforceable as a matter of law, such obligation or undertaking will be deemed to have been modified or amended, and any competent court or arbitrator are hereby authorized to modify or amend such obligation or undertaking, so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
15. This Agreement and the obligations or undertakings contained herein shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel (irrespective of it choice of law rules and regulations). The competent courts located in the city of Tel-Aviv-Jaffa shall have sole and exclusive jurisdiction with respect to any claim which arises in relation with this Agreement.

B-8
16. This Agreement cancels and supersedes any preceding letter of indemnification or arrangement for indemnification that may have been issued to Indemnitee by the Company.
17. Neither the settlement, 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 Indemnitee is 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 Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee’s action was unlawful.
18. This Agreement shall be (i) 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 (ii) binding on and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee’s heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators.
19. 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 Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by each of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
20. This Agreement is being executed pursuant to the resolutions adopted by the Board of the Company on [●], [●], and by the shareholders of the Company on [●], [●]1. At the time of approval, the Board determined, based on the then current activity of the Company, that the amount stated in Section 6 was reasonable, and that the events listed in Schedule A attached hereto reasonably anticipated and the amounts stated therein were reasonable.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Indemnification Agreement as of the first date written above.
