At the Closing, Buyer shall transfer the Total Cash Payment less (w) the aggregate Exclusivity Fee Advances, (x) the EVP Loan Repayment Amount, (y) the Escrow Amount and (z) the Final Balance Sheet Adjustment Escrow Amount, as defined below (the “Closing Payment”) to a bank account designated by Seller.

(ii) Final Balance Sheet Adjustment Escrow Amount. Contemporaneously with the making of the Closing Payment, Buyer shall deposit $176,250 (one hundred seventy-six thousand two hundred fifty U.S. dollars) (the “Final Balance Sheet Adjustment Escrow Amount”) with ESOP Trust Company or such other escrow agent as shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties (the “Escrow Agent”), to be held by the Escrow Agent on behalf of Seller pursuant to an Escrow Agreement in a form to be agreed as soon as possible after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing (the “Escrow Agreement”) in order to secure the obligations of Seller, if any, under Section 2.04(b)(iv) to make payment of the Final Balance Sheet Adjustment (as defined in Section 2.04(d)). The Balance Sheet Adjustment Escrow Amount shall be held by the Escrow Agent and distributed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(iii) Escrow Amount. Contemporaneously with the making of the Closing Payment, Buyer shall deposit an additional $352,500 (three hundred fifty-two thousand five hundred U.S. dollars) (the “Escrow Amount”) with the Escrow Agent, to be held by the Escrow Agent on behalf of Seller pursuant to the Escrow Agreement in order to secure the obligations of Seller under Article IX.

(c) Net Asset Value. Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause to be prepared, at its expense, and delivered to Seller: (i) an audited balance sheet of the Seller as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) which sets forth the calculation of Seller’s total assets less the Seller’s total liabilities (the “Net Asset Value”), in each case as of the Closing Date (which, to avoid doubt will assume that the payment of the EVP Loan Repayment Amount has already occurred) and (ii) the opinion of Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxx CPA, or a similar firm of independent accountants selected by Buyer, on the Closing Date Balance Sheet, which opinion shall be unqualified as to the scope of audit. The Closing Date Balance Sheet will be prepared in accordance with Israeli GAAP as previously applied by Seller in the preparation of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (it being understood that liabilities to OCS and all other Specified Off Balance Sheet Liabilities and the amount of the aggregate Exclusivity Fee Advances will not be taken into consideration in the preparation of such Estimated Closing Balance Sheet or Closing Date Balance Sheet), which shall take into account any information not available to the parties at the time the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet was delivered, and the former officers of the Company shall provide such assistance in the preparation of the proposed Closing Date Balance Sheet as shall be reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with the delivery of the proposed Closing Date Balance Sheet. Buyer shall also deliver to Seller a worksheet which sets forth Buyer’s revised calculation of the net assets and an explanation of any changes made to Seller’s calculation of such amount. Buyer’s revised calculation of the net assets is referred to herein as the “Proposed Closing Date Net Assets Calculation”. The proposed Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Proposed Closing Date Net Assets Calculation will be deemed final if Seller either (i) agrees in writing by notice to Buyer or (ii) does not express in a written notice to Buyer a disagreement, in either case within 30 days after its receipt of such Closing Date Balance Sheet from Buyer. During the 30-day period following Buyer’s receipt of any such notice of disagreement, Buyer and Seller will negotiate in good faith to resolve their disagreement. Failing such resolution, the issues that remain in dispute will be examined and recalculated by independent accountants other than the firm that has rendered its opinion as described in this Section 2.04(c) provided that such examination and recalculation shall not constitute or entail an audit. The independent accountants shall be instructed to submit the results of their examination within thirty (30) calendar days. Any amounts so recalculated shall be final and binding on the parties. The independent accountants shall make a ratable allocation of their charges for such work as a part of their determination based on the proportion by which the amount in dispute was determined in favor of one party or the other.

(d) Final Balance Sheet Adjustment. The “Final Balance Sheet Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to the difference between (I) the Baseline Net Asset Value and (II) the Net Asset Value of the Business as reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet.

(i) If the amount in clause (I) is less than the amount in clause (II), then (x) Buyer shall, within five business days after the Closing Date Balance Sheet becomes final as provided in Section 2.04(c), pay the Final Balance Sheet Adjustment to Seller and (y) the Escrow Agent shall release the entire amount of the Final Balance Sheet Adjustment Escrow Amount to Seller.

(ii) If the amount in clause (I) is greater than the amount in clause (II), then the Escrow Agent shall (x) release the Final Balance Sheet Adjustment to Buyer and (y) release the balance of the Final Balance Sheet Adjustment Escrow Amount to Seller. If the Final Balance Sheet Adjustment is greater than the Final Balance Sheet Adjustment Escrow Amount, the difference will be released by the Escrow Agent to Buyer out of the Escrow Amount.

(e) Purchase Price Adjustment. Any Final Balance Sheet Adjustment or indemnification payment under Article IX of this Agreement shall be treated for tax purposes as an adjustment of the total consideration paid for the Purchased Assets under this Agreement to the extent such characterization is proper and permissible under relevant Tax law and pursuant to the positions taken by the relevant Tax authorities.

At Buyer’s request, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in preparing and filing the VAT Request. If the VAT Request is not approved by the Closing, the applicable VAT, to the extent required to be paid, shall be paid by Buyer to the Seller at any time after the date on which the Purchase Price is payable in accordance with this Agreement, but not later than two (2) business days prior to the date upon which Seller is required to remit the applicable VAT to the Israeli VAT authorities, against receipt by Buyer of a valid VAT invoice from the Seller.

(c) Withholding. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to Seller such amounts as the Buyer is required to deduct and withhold under applicable Tax law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Buyer, such withheld amounts shall be paid by Buyer to the applicable Tax Authority and, upon such payment, shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Seller. Buyer will not pay any such withheld amounts to the applicable Tax Authority earlier than one (1) business day prior to the date such amounts are required to be paid. If, prior to or at the Closing, Seller delivers to Buyer a certificate from the Israeli Tax Authority evidencing an exemption from withholding of Taxes, or a reduced rate of withholding, which shall be applicable, valid and in effect as of the Closing, Buyer shall honor such withholding tax exemption or reduction.

SECTION 2.06 Purchase Price Allocation. Prior to the Closing the parties will attach as Schedule 2.06 an allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets. The allocation shall be agreed to by Seller and Buyer after arm’s-length negotiations. Seller and Buyer will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, adopt and utilize the amounts allocated to each asset or class of assets, as such allocations may be adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.06, for purposes of all Israeli and U.S. federal, state, local and other tax returns or reports, in any claim for refund, or otherwise with respect to such tax returns or reports.

SECTION 2.08 Alternative Arrangements.

If such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would affect the rights thereunder so that Buyer would not receive all such rights, Seller shall, at the expense of Buyer, use commercially reasonable efforts to effect alternative arrangements in the form of a license, sublease, or operating agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and Seller until such time as such consent or approval has been obtained that results in Buyer receiving substantially all of the benefits under and bearing all the ordinary course costs, liabilities and other obligations with respect to any such Contract or permit.

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule, the Purchase Price Adjustment Schedule or the officers’ certificate in the form of Exhibit B, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to any qualification as to materiality contained or incorporated in such representation or warranty);

(b) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Seller contained in this Agreement;

(c) any failure by Seller to satisfy, perform, pay, discharge or resolve any liabilities and obligations of, or claims against, Seller not included within the Assumed Liabilities; and

(d) any Liability (other than the Assumed Liabilities) to which the Buyer or any of the other Indemnitees may become subject and that arises directly or indirectly from or relates directly or indirectly to the Retained Assets, or any Liability related to Terminated Employees or any Liability with respect to New Buyer Employees not expressly assumed by Buyer.

SECTION 9.02 Indemnification of Seller. Subject to the limitations and other provisions set forth in Sections 9.04 and 9.06 below, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and each of its officers, directors, employees and shareholders from and against and in respect of any and all Indemnifiable Losses resulting from or incurred by any person to be indemnified hereunder by any of the following reasons: (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement; (ii) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Buyer contained in this Agreement; and (iii) Buyer’s failure to satisfy, perform, pay, discharge or resolve any Assumed Liability.

SECTION 9.03 Procedures.

(a) Procedures for Third Party Claims. If a claim by a third party is made against Buyer or its Indemnitees, within the survival period set forth in Section 9.04 below, arising out of a matter for which Buyer or any of its Indemnitees, as the case may be, is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 9.01 (a “Third Party Claim”), Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing of such claim. The failure to notify promptly Seller hereunder shall not relieve Seller of its obligations hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that Seller is actually prejudiced (including by losing the opportunity to mitigate damages) by such failure. Seller shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee; provided that in no event shall Seller be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnitees in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. Seller shall be entitled to participate in the defense of a Third Party Claim, through counsel of its choice, at the expense of Seller; provided that with respect to any Third Party Claim, Buyer shall control all proceedings in connection with such Third Party Claim and, without limiting the foregoing, may in its sole discretion, subject to this Section 9.03(a), pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any governmental entity with respect thereto. So long as Seller is participating in the defense of a Third Party Claim in good faith, or if Seller so requests in writing, Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller by providing records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim. Buyer shall not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the written consent of Seller, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No such consent will be required (i) if Buyer agrees in writing to forego all claims for indemnification from Seller with respect to such Third Party Claim, or (ii) Buyer reasonably believes itself to be potentially or actually exposed to Indemnifiable Losses materially in excess of amounts reasonably expected to be received from Seller, or (iii) Buyer reasonably believes itself to be potentially or actually exposed to non-monetary remedies; provided, however, that Buyer uses reasonable best efforts to obtain in such settlement a release of Seller with respect to all such Third Party Claims.

(b) Procedures for Direct Claims. In the event Buyer or any Indemnitee should have a claim against Seller under this Agreement that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from Buyer or such Indemnitee (a “Direct Claim”), the Buyer shall deliver notice of such Direct Claim, within the survival period set forth in Section 9.04 below, with reasonable promptness to Seller. The failure by Buyer to so notify Seller hereunder shall not relieve Seller of their obligations hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that Seller is actually prejudiced by such failure. If Seller does not notify Buyer within thirty (30) calendar days following his receipt of such notice that Seller disputes its liability to Buyer or the Indemnitee, as the case may be, such Direct Claim specified by Buyer in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of Seller (and will be subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX).

SECTION 9.04 Termination of Indemnification. Except with respect to fraud, willful misrepresentation, willful misconduct or willful concealment by or on behalf of Seller: (i) other than the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02 (Organization) and 3.04 (Authority), the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall terminate twelve (12) months following the Closing, except that such obligations shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which Buyer or any Indemnitee has, before the expiration of such period, previously made a Third Party Claim or a Direct

Claim (a “Claim”) against Seller by delivering a notice to Seller in accordance with this Agreement, which obligations, if they relate to a Claim that has not been resolved, shall survive until such Claim is finally resolved; and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02 (Organization) and 3.04 (Authority) shall terminate upon the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations, taking into account extensions thereof, except that such obligations shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which Buyer or any Indemnitee has, before the expiration of the relevant period, previously made a Claim against Seller by delivering a notice to Seller in accordance with this Agreement, which obligations, if they relate to a Claim that has not been resolved, shall survive until such Claim is finally resolved.

SECTION 9.05 Exclusive Remedy Against Seller. Except with respect to fraud, willful misrepresentation, willful misconduct or willful concealment by or on behalf of Seller and except for injunctive relief that may be obtained to enjoin the breach, or threatened breach, of any provision of this Agreement or a Claim for specific performance, Buyer’s or an Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Article IX constitutes Buyer’s or such Indemnitee’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any inaccuracy in, or any breach of, any representation or warranty or any covenant or agreement of Seller in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument, document or agreement delivered by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any failure by Seller to perform any covenant, agreement, obligation or undertaking in this Agreement or any such certificate, instrument, document or agreement.

SECTION 9.06 Limitation of Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) Seller shall not be liable for any Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Agreement (A) in the aggregate greater than the Escrow Amount and (B) other than Indemnifiable Losses with respect to the Purchase Price Adjustment Schedule which may be recovered in full, unless the aggregate amount of all such Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Agreement for which indemnification is sought exceeds on a cumulative basis Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the “Indemnity Basket”); provided that, if the aggregate amount of all Indemnifiable Losses exceeds the Indemnity Basket, Buyers or the Indemnitees, as the case may be, shall be entitled to indemnification for all such Indemnifiable Losses, without regard to the Indemnity Basket; (ii) in any Claim for indemnification the Buyer or any Indemnitee, as the case may be, may seek indemnification for its Indemnifiable Losses only from the Escrow Amount (and pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement); (iii) Seller shall not be liable for any Indemnifiable Losses that was not submitted within the survival period set forth in Section 9.04; and (iv) Buyer or any Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive (out of the Escrow Amount) any amount that: (A) has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be owing by Seller to Buyer or to an Indemnitee, or (B) that Seller has agreed in writing to be owing by Seller to Buyer or to an Indemnitee.

SECTION 9.07 Cooperation as to Indemnified Liability. Each party hereto shall cooperate fully with the other parties with respect to access to books, records, or other documentation within such party’s control, if deemed reasonably necessary or appropriate by any party in the defense of any claim that may give rise to indemnification hereunder.

SECTION 9.08 Nature of Indemnification. Buyer’s right to indemnification and payment of Indemnifiable Losses, or other remedy, based on Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants and obligations, shall not be affected by any investigation conducted by Buyer or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time by Buyer, 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 such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The parties recognize and agree that the representations, warranties and covenants operate as bargained for promises and risk allocation devices and that, accordingly, Buyer’s knowledge, and the waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, shall not affect the right to indemnification or payment of Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article IX, or other remedy, based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations.
