RECITALS:
WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in the development and marketing of a proprietary platform for booking of accommodation and other travel services;
WHEREAS, Moringa is a blank check company incorporated as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses;
WHEREAS, Merger Sub is a newly incorporated, direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and was incorporated for the sole purpose of the Transactions;
WHEREAS, the Parties desire and intend to effect a business combination transaction whereby, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub will merge with and into Moringa, with Moringa continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, the “Transactions”) (Moringa, as the surviving entity of the Merger, is referred to herein as the “Surviving Company”);
WHEREAS, prior to or simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company has entered into New SAFE Agreements with certain investors, pursuant to which such investors invested (or committed to invest) in the Company, the SAFE Investment Amount, such investment to be automatically converted into Company Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms of the New SAFE Agreements immediately prior to the Closing, and following the Capital Restructuring;
WHEREAS, immediately prior to the Closing, but contingent upon the Closing, the Company shall effect a capital restructuring (sub-clauses (a), (b) and (c) below, collectively, the “Capital Restructuring”) as follows:
(a) Immediately prior to the Closing, and contingent upon the effectiveness of the Merger, (i) each Exercised Warrant shall be automatically exercised into such number of Company Ordinary Shares, Company Ordinary A Shares or Company Preferred Shares, as applicable, in accordance with its terms (and, for the avoidance of doubt, each Expired Warrant shall automatically terminate and expire at the Effective Time), (ii) each Old SAFE Agreement shall be converted automatically into Company Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms thereof, and (iii) each Company Preferred Share and each Company Ordinary A Share that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Company Preferred Shares and Ordinary A Shares issued upon the exercise of Exercised Warrants, shall be converted automatically into Company Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association;
6
(b) The Company shall effect a share split, to become effective immediately prior to the Closing, and subject to the effectiveness of the Merger, pursuant to which each Company Ordinary Share outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (but, for the avoidance of doubt, after the exercise and conversion described in Clause (a) of this Recital, and excluding and prior to the issuance of the SAFE Shares) shall become and be converted into the number of Company Ordinary Shares computed by (A) multiplying each such Company Ordinary Share by (B) the Conversion Ratio, with all fractional Company Ordinary Shares being rounded to the closest integral number, with one-half Company Ordinary Share being rounded up to the next higher integral number of Company Ordinary Shares (such that following the Capital Restructuring and the issuance of the SAFE Shares (but prior to the issuance of the Merger Consideration, the Notes and the warrants that are issuable pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Financing Warrants”), and before giving effect to the issuance of any awards specified in Schedule 1 pursuant to the Company’s new Equity Plan), for the avoidance of doubt, the valuation of the Company, on a fully-diluted basis, shall be equal to the Company Valuation, and the Company Ordinary Shares shall be valued, on a fully-diluted basis, at $10.00 per share). The “Conversion Ratio” shall be the number yielded by the following calculations: (i) first, dividing the Company Valuation by $10.00, (ii) then, subtracting the Number of SAFE Shares from the result of the immediately preceding sub-clause (i), and (iii) then, dividing the resulting remainder of the immediately preceding sub-clause (ii) by the Total Company Shares. For reference purposes only, an illustrative calculation of the Capital Restructuring is set forth on Exhibit A hereto. The “Total Company Shares” shall mean the total number of outstanding shares or other equity securities of the Company, on a fully-diluted basis, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, including (x) the number of Company Ordinary Shares outstanding following the exercise and conversion described in Clause (a) of this Recital (but excluding the Number of SAFE Shares), and (y) the maximum number of Company shares issuable upon the exercise of Continuing Warrants and Continuing Company Options, and specifically excluding (i) the Old Unallocated Pool (which shall automatically terminate and expire at the Effective Time), (ii) (A) such equity awards under the Equity Plan granted pursuant to the New Employment Agreements of Xxxx Xxxxx, Avi Xxxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxxxx (each, in accordance with the terms and in the amounts set forth in Schedule 1 hereto (such Schedule 1 includes RSUs and PRSUs and “earn-out” options to be granted to Xxxx Xxxxx, Avi Xxxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxxxx in accordance with the terms and in the amounts set forth in Schedule 1) and as further specified in such New Employment Agreements) and (B) such other equity awards under the Equity Plan that are specified in Schedule 1 (in accordance with the terms and in the amounts set forth in Schedule 1), and (iii) any Company Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance under the Equity Plan that remain unallocated and are not promised for issuance immediately prior to the Effective Time. The “Old Unallocated Pool” shall mean all Company Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s existing Equity Incentive Plan that remain unallocated and are not promised for issuance immediately prior to the Effective Time;
(c) as a result of the actions set forth in sub-clauses (a) and (b) above, each Continuing Warrant and each option to purchase Company Ordinary Shares that is outstanding or promised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (for the avoidance of doubt, including any additional options to purchase Ordinary Shares which may be issued or promised subsequent to the date of this Agreement subject to Section 5.2(b), and excluding any equity awards referred to in sub-clauses (b)(ii) and (iii) above) (the “Continuing Company Options”) shall be adjusted to reflect the Conversion Ratio as set forth in Section 1.8, and each Continuing Warrant shall only represent the right to acquire Company Ordinary Shares subject to its terms;
7

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
Article I
MERGER
1.1 Effective Time. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date (following the consummation of the Capital Restructuring and the conversion of the New SAFE Agreements), Moringa and Merger Sub shall execute a plan of merger in the form attached as Exhibit H hereto (with any changes to be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Company and Moringa) (the “Plan of Merger”), and shall file the Plan of Merger and other documents as required to effect the Merger pursuant to the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Islands Law”) with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands, as provided in the applicable provisions of the Cayman Islands Law. The Merger shall become effective at the time when the Plan of Merger has been registered by the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands or such later time as Merger Sub and Moringa may agree and specify pursuant to the Cayman Islands Law (the “Effective Time”).
1.2 Merger. At the Effective Time, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Islands Law, Moringa and Merger Sub shall consummate the Merger, pursuant to which Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Moringa, following which the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Moringa shall continue as the Surviving Company after the Merger and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
1.3 Effect of the Merger. The effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Cayman Islands Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, Liabilities, duties and obligations of Merger Sub and Moringa shall immediately vest in and become the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, Liabilities, duties and obligations of the Surviving Company, which shall include the assumption by the Surviving Company of any and all agreements, covenants, duties and obligations of Merger Sub and Moringa set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to be performed after the Effective Time.
1.4 Organizational Documents of the Company and the Surviving Company. Prior to the Closing, and by virtue of the Required Company Shareholder Approval, the Company shall adopt the amended and restated articles of association in the form of Exhibit I (with any changes to be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Company and Moringa) (the “Restated Company Articles”), with such Restated Company Articles to become effective at the Effective Time and to remain in effect thereafter until amended in accordance with the terms thereof and the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Israeli Companies Law”). Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Moringa shall be amended and restated in its entirety in the form of the Restated Surviving Company Articles, until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof and the Cayman Islands Law.
1.5 Directors and Officers of the Company and the Surviving Company. At the Effective Time, (i) the executive officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue as the executive officers of the Company, each to hold office until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, (ii) the directors of the Company shall be comprised of the individuals determined in the manner set forth in Section 5.15, to continue in such capacity until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, and (iii) the directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the directors and officers of the Surviving Company, to continue in such capacity until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with the Restated Surviving Company Articles.
10
1.6 Effect of Merger on Merger Sub Ordinary Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, each ordinary share, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically become and be converted into one ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Company, and the corporate name of the Surviving Company shall be changed to Holisto Inc., with the result that the Surviving Company shall be a direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company.
1.7 Effect of Merger on Securities of Moringa.
(a) Moringa Ordinary Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of securities of Moringa, the Company or Merger Sub, or any other Person, (i) (x) each Moringa Class B Ordinary Share shall automatically become and be converted into one Moringa Class A Ordinary Share pursuant to the Moringa Class B Conversion, and each former holder of Moringa Class B Ordinary Shares shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such Moringa Class B Ordinary Shares (other than the right to receive Moringa Class A Ordinary Shares in the Moringa Class B Conversion) and (y) each Moringa Class A Ordinary Share (other than Public Shares) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, including Moringa Class A Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Moringa Class B Conversion (i.e., referred to in sub-clause (x) above) (after giving effect to the Unit Separation and excluding any Cancelled Moringa Shares), shall automatically become and be converted into one Company Ordinary Share (after giving effect to the Capital Restructuring) and (ii) each Public Share issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, after giving effect to the Unit Separation and the Redemption, and excluding any Cancelled Moringa Shares, shall automatically become and be converted into a number of Company Ordinary Shares (after giving effect to the Capital Restructuring) that is equal to the lower of: (A) 1.6; and (B) the number yielded by the following calculations: (1) first, calculating the sum of (a) the Post-Redemption SPAC Share Number, plus (b) the Fixed Amount, and (2) second, dividing the result of the immediately preceding sub-clause (1) by the Post-Redemption SPAC Share Number (the Company Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to sub-clause 1.7(a)(i)(y) or sub-clause 1.7(a)(ii), as applicable, upon the consummation of the Merger, are referred to as the “Class A Consideration”), and, in each case of sub-clauses 1.7(a)(i)(y) and 1.7(a)(ii), each former holder of Moringa Class A Ordinary Shares shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities (other than the right to receive the Class A Consideration as provided herein). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Merger is not consummated, the rights of holders of the Public Shares shall be such rights as are provided in Moringa’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.
(b) Moringa Units. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of securities of Moringa, the Company or Merger Sub, or any other Person, every Moringa Unit issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically separated, if not already separated prior to such time (the “Unit Separation”), and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one Moringa Class A Ordinary Share and one-half of a Moringa Warrant; provided that no fractional Moringa Warrants will be issued in connection with the Unit Separation such that if a holder of Moringa Units would be entitled to receive a fractional Moringa Warrant upon the Unit Separation (after aggregating all of the Moringa Units held by such holder), then the number of Moringa Warrants to be issued to such holder upon the Unit Separation shall, as provided in the Warrant Agreement and as disclosed in the Moringa Form S-1, be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Moringa Warrants (i.e., each holder of Moringa Units will only receive a Moringa Warrant for each two Moringa Units held thereby).
(c) Moringa Warrants. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of securities of Moringa, the Company or Merger Sub, or any other Person, each Moringa Warrant issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to the Unit Separation and excluding any Cancelled Moringa Warrants), shall be converted automatically into one Company Warrant (which, for the avoidance of doubt, reflects the Capital Restructuring), and each former holder of Moringa Warrants shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities, except as expressly provided herein and in the amendment to the Warrant Agreement pursuant to which the Company appoints Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or such other Person as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and Moringa) (“Continental”) as Warrant Agent as provided in Section 1.7(f) (the “Warrant Agreement Amendment”). Each Company Warrant shall have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the Moringa Warrants (with the public or private status of the Moringa Warrants (and the accompanying terms of such warrants) being preserved in the Company Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement), except that, in each case, they shall represent the right to acquire Company Ordinary Shares in lieu of Moringa Class A Ordinary Shares with such changes as are necessary to reflect that the Company is an Israeli corporation subject to the Israeli Companies Law and the Company’s governing instrument will be the Restated Company Articles.
11
(d) Cancellation of Share Capital and Warrants Owned by Moringa. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of securities of Moringa, the Company or Merger Sub, or any other Person, each Moringa Class A Ordinary Share and each Moringa Warrant that is (i) held in Moringa’s treasury immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) owned by any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Moringa immediately prior to the Effective Time, or (iii) owned directly or indirectly by the Company or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, “Cancelled Moringa Shares” and “Cancelled Moringa Warrants”, respectively), shall be automatically canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment or other consideration therefor.
(e) Transfers of Ownership. Subject in all instances to this Section 1.7, if any Company Ordinary Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name in which the book-entry recording representing those shares canceled in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the shares so transferred will be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have paid to the Company or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes or fees required by reason of the issuance of securities of the Company in any name other than that of the registered holder of the securities surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of the Company and Moringa or any agent designated by the both of them that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
(f) Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall appoint, and enter into an agreement with, Continental to act as (i) the transfer agent for the Company Ordinary Shares issuable hereunder, and (ii) the warrant agent for the Company Warrants issuable hereunder, including, in each instance, for the purpose of exchanging, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Moringa Securities for the consideration issuable in accordance with this Section 1.7 upon the consummation of the Merger (the “Merger Consideration”). At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall direct Continental to, at the Effective Time, record the issuance on the stock records of the Company of the number of Company Ordinary Shares and Company Warrants issuable hereunder. All Company Ordinary Shares and Company Warrants will be issued in book entry form. In this connection, prior to the Closing, the Company shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Company Warrants remain outstanding, a sufficient number of Company Ordinary Shares for delivery upon the exercise of such Company Warrants and shall enter into the Warrant Agreement Amendment between the Company, Moringa and Continental, pursuant to which the Company assumes the obligations of Moringa with respect to the Warrants and Continental agrees to serve as warrant agent for the Company Warrants and the terms of the warrants are amended to refer to the Company Ordinary Shares in lieu of Moringa Ordinary Shares.
12
(g) No Liability; No Further Ownership Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Parties hereto, the Surviving Company or Continental shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar applicable Law. All consideration issuable in accordance with this Section 1.7 upon the consummation of the Merger shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to any Moringa Securities and from and after the Effective Time, the holders thereof shall have no right other than the right to receive the consideration to be paid in connection with the Merger in accordance with this Section 1.7. From and after the Effective Time, the register of members of Moringa shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the register of members of Moringa of the Moringa Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No interest will be paid or accrued on the consideration issuable in accordance with this Section 1.7 upon the consummation of the Merger (or any portion thereof).
(h) No Dissenters Rights. No dissenter’s rights, appraisal rights or other similar rights shall be available to the holders of Moringa Securities or the Company’s securities with respect to the Merger or the other Transactions.
(i) Withholding Rights.
(i) The Company, Moringa, Merger Sub, Continental (including the Withholding Agent) and each of their respective Affiliates and any other Person making a payment under this Agreement (each, a “Payor”), as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of a Moringa Security, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payments under the Code or any other provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. Any such amounts so deducted and withheld shall be paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of Moringa Securities, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith and expend commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding (including through the request and provision of any statements, forms or other documents to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding). If any such withholding is so required in connection with any such payments, the Party required to so withhold shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice to the Party in respect of whom such withholding is required to be paid of the amounts to be deducted and withheld no later than ten (10) days prior to such payment. Without derogating from the foregoing, as soon as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement, the Company will cause its Israeli advisors, in coordination with Moringa and its Israeli counsel, to prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling pursuant to Section 104H of the Ordinance, (i) exempting from or deferring Israeli Tax on any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to each holder of Moringa Class A Ordinary Shares and Moringa Warrants (each, a “Payee”) which holds less than 5% in the Moringa share capital on a date which is ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date (a “Less Than 5% Payee”), pursuant to this Agreement, to such time as determined in the 104H Ruling, or (ii) instructing the Payor and its agents on how such withholding is to be executed from the payment of such consideration (the “104H Ruling”); the 104H Ruling may initially be issued by the ITA in the form of an interim pre-ruling (the “104H Interim Ruling”), in which case the 104H Interim Ruling shall be deemed for the purposes hereof as the 104H Ruling).
(ii) The parties herby acknowledge that they and Continental and the Withholding Agent shall act in accordance with Income Tax Circular 19/2018 (Transaction for Sale of Rights in a Corporation that includes consideration that will be transferred to the Seller at Future Dates) (the “Circular”) and Continental and the Withholding Agent shall provide the Company, prior to the Closing Date, with an undertaking as required under Section 6.2.4.3(c) of the Circular.
13
(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.7(i)(i) above, with respect to Israeli Taxes, subject to the provisions of the 104H Ruling, no tax shall be deducted or withheld from any payment to a Less Than 5% Payee except as set forth in the 104H Ruling. The consideration payable to each Payee shall (notwithstanding Section 1.7(i)(i) above) be retained by Continental for the benefit of such Payee until the earlier of (x) (A) with respect to a Payee which holds 5% or more of the Moringa share capital on the date which is ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, unless a different date for such calculations is specified by the ITA, in which case such date shall be as specified by the ITA (a “5% Payee”), or is a Payee that is not included in the application for the 104H Ruling, the date on which such Payee either (i) delivers to Continental a Valid Certificate or (ii) delivers to the Company such other document or certificate, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and its tax advisors, or (B) if such Payee is a Less Than 5% Payee and the 104H Ruling has not been obtained, the receipt by Continental of a document, in the form attached as Exhibit 1.7 hereto, in which such Payee has “checked the box” that it is not an Israeli tax resident and was not an Israeli resident in the last four years (or other form of acknowledgement reasonably agreed between Moringa and the Company), or if such Payee is an Israeli tax resident, the date on which such Payee delivers to Continental a Valid Certificate, or (C) if such Payee is a Less Than 5% Payee and the 104H Ruling has been obtained – the date on which the 104H Ruling has been obtained, and (y) the date that is 180 days from the Closing Date, as may be further extended (with respect to all or some of the Payees) by mutual agreement of the Company, Moringa and Continental (the “Withholding Drop Date”), during which time (unless a request is submitted by the Payee to Continental to release its portion of the consideration prior to the Withholding Drop Date) no Payor shall make any payments to such Payee or withhold any amounts for Israeli Taxes from the payments deliverable to such Payee pursuant to this Agreement, except as provided below. If a Payee delivers, no later than three Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date, a Valid Certificate to the Payor, then the deduction and withholding of any Israeli Taxes shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Certificate, and the balance of the payment that is not withheld shall be transferred to such Payee concurrently therewith subject to any non-Israeli withholding which is applicable to the payment (if any). If any Payee (I) fails to provide the Payor with the documentation pursuant to clause (x)(A) or (B) above (as applicable) at least three Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date, or (II) submits a written request to Continental to release its portion of the consideration prior to the Withholding Drop Date and fails to submit the documentation set forth in clause (x)(A) or (B) above (as applicable) at or before such time, then (subject to the immediately following sentence) the amount to be withheld from such Payee’s portion of the consideration shall be calculated according to the applicable withholding rate in accordance with applicable Law as determined by the Company or its Israeli advisors at their reasonable discretion, and such amount will be calculated in NIS based on the US$:NIS exchange rate known on the date the payment is actually made to such Payee and delivered to the ITA by the Withholding Agent. To the extent that Continental is obliged to withhold Israeli Taxes, the Payee shall either provide Continental with the amount due with regards to such Israeli Taxes prior to the release of the consideration to the Payee, or be entitled, subject to agreement by the Withholding Agent to do so (such agreement to be provided through Continental), in lieu of providing such amount, to instruct the Withholding Agent (such instruction to be made through Continental) to sell, subject to any lock-up or transfer restrictions applicable at such time to the consideration or a portion thereof, such portion of the consideration as required to pay the applicable amount due with regards to such amount of Israeli Taxes required to be delivered to the ITA. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, and unless instructed otherwise by the ITA in writing, for Israeli withholding Tax purposes, the value of the consideration shall be determined based on the closing price of a Company Ordinary Share on the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, (1) if the 104H Ruling has been obtained, then the deduction and withholding of any Israeli Taxes with respect to the relevant Payees covered by such Ruling shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such 104H Ruling, and, to the extent so specified under the provisions of such 104H Ruling, no withholding of Israeli Taxes shall be made from the consideration payable to any Less Than 5% Payee, and (2) if a Payee is not an Israeli tax resident and provides the documentation pursuant to clause (x)(A) or (B) above (as applicable), no withholding of Israeli Taxes shall be made from the consideration payable to such Payee. To the extent that Continental or the Withholding Agent is obliged to withhold Israeli Taxes, the Payee shall either provide Continental with the amount due with regards to such Israeli Taxes prior to the release of the consideration to the Payee, or be entitled, subject to agreement by the Withholding Agent to do so (such agreement to be provided through Continental), in lieu of providing such amount, to instruct the Withholding Agent (such instruction to be made through Continental) to sell, subject to any lock-up or transfer restrictions applicable at such time to the consideration or a portion thereof, such portion of the consideration as required to pay the applicable amount due with regards to such Israeli Taxes. Any currency conversion commissions will be borne by the applicable payment recipient and deducted from payments to be made to such payment recipient. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Payor receives a demand from the ITA to withhold any amount out of the amount held by such Payor for distribution to a particular Payee, such Payor (i) shall notify such Payee of such matter and provide such Payee with a reasonable period to attempt to delay such requirement or extend the period for complying with such requirement which shall be as evidenced by a written certificate, ruling or confirmation from the ITA, unless otherwise required by the ITA, and (ii) to the extent that a certificate, ruling or confirmation is not timely provided by such Payee to the Company prior to the time required by the ITA or under any applicable Law, shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, to the ITA any amount so demanded, including any interest, indexation, linkage differences, adjustments or fines required by the ITA in respect thereof, and for such purpose the Payee shall either provide Continental with the amount due with regards to such Israeli Taxes prior to the release of the consideration to the Payee, or be entitled, subject to agreement by the Withholding Agent to do so (such agreement to be provided through Continental), in lieu of providing such amount, to instruct the Withholding Agent (such instruction to be made through Continental) to sell, subject to any lock-up or transfer restrictions applicable at such time to the consideration or a portion thereof, such portion of the consideration as required to pay the applicable amount due with regards to such amount of Israeli Taxes required to be delivered to the ITA, and such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to such Payee.
14
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.7(i), in the event that Continental is required to transfer any amounts to the ITA on account of Israeli Taxes owing by a specific Payee, and at the Withholding Drop Date (i) such Payee is not covered by the 104H Ruling, (ii) has not provided a Valid Certificate to Continental or the documentation pursuant to clause (x)(A) or (B) above (as applicable), (iii) has not provided Continental such amount due with regards to such Israeli Taxes, and (iv) Continental and/or the Withholding Agent is/are not able or not willing to sell such portion of the consideration of such Payee as required to pay the applicable amount due with regards to such amount of Israeli Taxes, then to the extent legally permissible, Continental shall transfer all such consideration of such Payee to the Company, and such Payee shall thereupon look only to the Company as general creditor thereof for payment, without interest, of such consideration.
1.8 Effect of Merger on Company Securities. Prior to the Closing (for the avoidance of doubt, prior to the transactions described in Section 1.7, and prior to the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Company shall effect the Capital Restructuring and the conversion of all New SAFE Agreements as provided in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all Company Ordinary Shares, Continuing Warrants and Continuing Company Options, in each instance, outstanding after the Capital Restructuring and immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger shall remain outstanding following the consummation of the Merger and shall in no way be affected by the Merger. For the avoidance of doubt, each Continuing Warrant and each Continuing Company Option, in each instance, outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Capital Restructuring shall, without any action on the part of the holder thereof and in accordance with the provisions of the Continuing Warrant or Continuing Company Option, become a warrant or an option to purchase such number of Company Ordinary Shares, in each instance, as determined by (i) multiplying the number of Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of such security by the Conversion Ratio (with one-half Company Ordinary Share being rounded up to the next higher integral number of Company Ordinary Shares), and (ii) dividing the exercise price of such security by the Conversion Ratio (and the adjusted exercise price shall be computed to two decimal places).
1.9 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Company with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Moringa and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of Moringa and Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective entities to take, and will (at the request of any of the Parties) take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.
1.10 Tax Consequences. The Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and corresponding provisions of state and local Tax Law, and this Agreement is intended to constitute, and is adopted by the parties as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §§ 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3. The Parties agree that (i) each Party shall cause all Tax Returns relating to the Merger to be filed on the basis of treating the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and corresponding provisions of state and local Tax law, and (ii) none of the Parties shall take, nor permit their respective Affiliates to take, any action or position that reasonably would be expected to cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and corresponding provisions of state and local Law, in each case, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
1.11 Certain Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article I to the contrary (but excluding in all instances any action taken as part of the Capital Restructuring), if, subject to and without limiting anything contained in Section 5.2, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, (a) the outstanding Company Ordinary Shares shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares or different class, in each case, by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split), split-up, combination or exchange or readjustment of shares, (b) a stock dividend or dividend payable in any other securities of the Company shall be declared with a record date within such period, or (c) any similar event shall have occurred, then, in each case, any number, value (including dollar value) or amount contained herein which is based upon the number of Company Ordinary Shares (including the number of shares of Company Ordinary Shares issuable hereunder in exchange for Moringa Securities, and the number of shares of Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Company Warrants), shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders thereof the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

The SEC Reports (x) were prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder and (y) did not, as of their respective effective dates (in the case of SEC Reports that are registration statements filed pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act) and at the time they were filed with the SEC (in the case of all other SEC Reports) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent deemed material, those disclosures in the Original Balance Sheet that were corrected in the Restated Balance Sheet (as described in Section 3.6(b) below). The Public Certifications are each true as of their respective dates of filing. As used in this Section 3.6, the term “file” shall be broadly construed to include any manner permitted by SEC rules and regulations in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise publicly made available to the SEC.

Moringa is not a foreign private issuer as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act (a “Foreign Private Issuer”).
18
(b) The financial statements and notes of Moringa contained or incorporated by reference in the SEC Reports (the “Moringa Financials”), fairly present in all material respects the financial position and the results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows of Moringa at the respective dates of and for the periods referred to in such financial statements, and complied with (i) GAAP methodologies applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved and (ii) Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto and for the omission of notes and audit adjustments in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable), subject to the corrections to the Original Balance Sheet that were reflected in the Restated Balance Sheet (as described subsequently in this Section 3.6(b)).
The audited balance sheet as of March 3, 2021 and related footnote disclosures that appeared in Moringa’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2021 (the “Original Balance Sheet”) were required to be restated in order to correct certain errors in classification, which were corrected in the balance sheet that appeared in the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed by Moringa with the SEC on May 25, 2021 (the “Restated Balance Sheet”).

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions of the Investor’s closing obligations contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement, and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.
(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of Section 5.9(a), to the extent required under any Laws that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade (“Antitrust Laws”), each Party agrees to make any required filing or application under Antitrust Laws, as applicable, with respect to the Transactions as promptly as practicable, to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be reasonably requested pursuant to Antitrust Laws and to take all other actions reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under Antitrust Laws as soon as practicable, including by requesting early termination of the waiting period provided for under the Antitrust Laws. Each Party shall, in connection with its efforts to obtain all requisite approvals and authorizations for the Transactions under any Antitrust Law, use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) cooperate in all respects with each other Party or its Affiliates in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private Person; (ii) keep the other Parties reasonably informed of any communication received by such Party or its Representatives from, or given by such Party or its Representatives to, any Governmental Authority and of any communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private Person, in each case, regarding any of the Transactions; (iii) permit a Representative of the other Parties and their respective outside counsel to review any communication given by it to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with, any Governmental Authority or, in connection with any proceeding by a private Person, with any other Person, and to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority or other Person, give a Representative or Representatives of the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences; (iv) in the event a Party’s Representative is prohibited from participating in or attending any meetings or conferences, the other Parties shall keep such Party promptly and reasonably apprised with respect thereto; and (v) cooperate in the filing of any memoranda, white papers, filings, correspondence or other written communications explaining or defending the Transactions, articulating any regulatory or competitive argument, and/or responding to requests or objections made by any Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Party agrees that, based on the information made available to Moringa by the Company and the representations and warranties made by the Parties in this Agreement, no filing under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, will be required for the consummation of the Transactions.
(c) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to use) their respective commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with Governmental Authorities requests for approval of the Transactions and shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to have such Governmental Authorities approve the Transactions. Each Party shall give prompt written notice to the other Parties if such Party or any of its Representatives receives any notice from such Governmental Authorities in connection with the Transactions, and shall promptly furnish the other Parties with a copy of such Governmental Authority notice. If any Governmental Authority requires that a hearing or meeting be held in connection with its approval of the Transactions, whether prior to the Closing or after the Closing, each Party shall arrange for Representatives of such Party to be present for such hearing or meeting and shall reasonably consult with the other Parties before any such hearing or meeting and, as applicable, permit such other Parties to attend and participate in such hearing or meeting. If any objections are asserted with respect to the Transactions under any applicable Law or if any Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by any applicable Governmental Authority or any private Person challenging any of the Transactions as violative of any applicable Law or which would, or would reasonably be expected to, otherwise prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of any of the Transactions, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to resolve any such objections or Actions so as to timely permit consummation of the Transactions, including in order to resolve such objections or Actions which, in any case if not resolved, could reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions and to obtain any required Consents, approvals and clearances under any applicable Law. In the event any Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Authority or private Person challenging any of the Transactions, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with each other and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such Action and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Transactions.
56
(d) Prior to the Closing, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Consents of Governmental Authorities or other third Persons as may be necessary for the consummation by such Party or its Affiliates of the Transactions or required as a result of the execution or performance of, or consummation of the Transactions by such Party or its Affiliates, and the other Parties shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection with such efforts. With respect to the Company, during the Interim Period, the Company and Merger Sub shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the Company to qualify as a Foreign Private Issuer and to maintain such status through the Closing.
(e) During the Interim Period, Moringa, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall each notify the other in writing promptly after learning of any shareholder demands or other shareholder proceedings (including derivative claims) relating to this Agreement, any other Ancillary Documents or any matters relating thereto (collectively, the “Transaction Litigation”) commenced against, in the case of Moringa, Moringa or any of its Representatives (in their capacity as a representative of Moringa) or, in the case of the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any of their respective Representatives (in their capacity as a representative of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company). Moringa and the Company shall each (i) keep the other reasonably informed regarding any Transaction Litigation, (ii) give the other the opportunity to, at its own cost and expense, participate in the defense, settlement and compromise of any such Transaction Litigation and reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with the defense, settlement and compromise of any such Transaction Litigation, (iii) consider in good faith the other’s advice with respect to any such Transaction Litigation, and (iv) reasonably cooperate with each other. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, (x) Moringa and the Company shall jointly control the negotiation, defense and settlement of any such Transaction Litigation, and (y) in no event shall Moringa (or any of its Representatives), on the one hand, or the Company (or any of its Representatives), on the other hand, settle or compromise any Transaction Litigation brought without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

5.10 The Registration Statement; Moringa Shareholder Approval Matters.
(a) As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, the Company shall prepare, and, by no later than ten weeks from the date of this Agreement, the Company shall file (with Moringa’s assistance) with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-4 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, and including the Proxy Statement contained therein, the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the Company’s Ordinary Shares and the Company Warrants to be issued pursuant to this Agreement to the shareholders and warrant holders of Moringa (including, for the sake of clarity, the holders (immediately before Closing) of Moringa Class A Ordinary Shares, Moringa Public Warrants, Moringa Class B Ordinary Shares (which will be converted to Moringa Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Moringa Class B Conversion), Moringa Private Shares, Moringa Private Warrants and Moringa Representative Shares), and the Company’s Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrants, which Registration Statement will also contain a notice and proxy statement of Moringa (as amended, the “Proxy Statement”) for the purpose of soliciting proxies from Moringa shareholders for the matters to be acted upon at the Moringa Special Meeting and providing the Public Shareholders an opportunity in accordance with Moringa’s Organizational Documents and the IPO Prospectus to have their Moringa Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed (the “Redemption”) in conjunction with the shareholder vote on the Moringa Shareholder Approval Matters. The Proxy Statement shall include proxy materials for the purpose of soliciting proxies from Moringa shareholders to vote, at an extraordinary general meeting of Moringa shareholders to be called and held for such purpose (the “Moringa Special Meeting”), in favor of resolutions approving (i) the adoption and approval of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents to which Moringa is a party, the Merger, the Plan of Merger, and the other Transactions, (ii) the approval of the change of name of the Surviving Company, (iii) the approval and adoption of the Restated Moringa Articles, (iv) such other matters as the Company and Moringa shall hereafter mutually determine to be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the Transactions, and (v) the adjournment of the Moringa Special Meeting, if necessary or desirable in the reasonable determination of Moringa (the approvals described in foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), collectively, the “Moringa Shareholder Approval Matters”). The Company shall file a listing application for the listing of the Company Ordinary Shares and Company Warrants on Nasdaq and shall file a registration statement on Form 8-A (the “1934 Act Registration Statement”) pursuant to the Exchange Act and request effectiveness of the 1934 Act Registration Statement concurrently with the effectiveness of the Company’s listing of its securities on Nasdaq. In connection with the Registration Statement and the Merger, Moringa shall assist the Company in the preparation of the Registration Statement and in obtaining Nasdaq approval for the listing of the Company Ordinary Shares and Company Warrants on Nasdaq. From and after the Effective Time, the Company shall take such action as may be necessary such that the Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Company Warrants issued to the holders of the Moringa Warrants, which Company Ordinary Shares will be registered pursuant to the Registration Statement, when exercised in the manner provided in the Warrant Agreement Amendment, are not restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act, and, accordingly, will be issued without a restricted stock legend.
(b) Moringa and the Company shall cooperate and provide the other Party (and its counsel) with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto prior to filing the same with the SEC. The Registration Statement shall include such information concerning the Target Companies and their equity holders, officers, directors, employees, assets, Liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), business and operations that may be required or appropriate for inclusion in the Registration Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, which information provided by the Company shall be true and correct and not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. In connection with the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement, the Company and Moringa will file with the SEC financial and other information about the Transactions in accordance with applicable Law and applicable proxy solicitation and registration statement rules, Moringa’s Organizational Documents, the Israeli Companies Law, the Cayman Islands Law and the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq. In addition, in connection with the Registration Statement, the Company will timely file all of the required filings with the Israel Innovation Authority and obtain the Consent of the Israel Innovation Authority for the listing of the Company’s securities.
58
(c) Moringa and the Company shall take any and all reasonable and necessary actions required to satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable Laws in connection with the Registration Statement, the Moringa Special Meeting and the Redemption. Each of Moringa and the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, make their respective directors, officers and employees, upon reasonable advance notice, available to the Company and Moringa and their respective Representatives in connection with the drafting of the public filings with respect to the Transactions, including the Registration Statement, and responding in a timely manner to comments from the SEC. If, at any time before the Closing, any Target Company discovers any fact, event, or circumstance relating to the Target Companies, or their respective equity holders, officers, managers, or directors, that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly inform Moringa, and the Parties shall cooperate reasonably in connection with preparing and disseminating any such required amendment or supplement. Each Party shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Registration Statement (and other related materials) if and to the extent that such information is determined to have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws. Moringa and the Company shall amend or supplement the Registration Statement and cause the Registration Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to Moringa’s shareholders, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable Laws and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Moringa’s Organizational Documents.
(d) Moringa and the Company, with the assistance of the other Parties, shall promptly respond to any SEC comments on the Registration Statement and shall otherwise use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to “clear” comments from the SEC and become effective as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, and to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Transactions. The Company shall provide Moringa with copies of any written comments, and shall inform Moringa of any material oral comments, that the Company or its Representatives receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement, the Moringa Special Meeting and the Redemption promptly after the receipt of such comments and shall give Moringa a reasonable opportunity under the circumstances to review and comment on any proposed written or material oral responses to such comments.
(e) As soon as practicable following the Registration Statement “clearing” comments from the SEC and becoming effective, Moringa (with the reasonable cooperation of the Company) shall distribute the Proxy Statement to Moringa’s shareholders and, pursuant thereto, shall call the Moringa Special Meeting in accordance with the Cayman Islands Law and Moringa’s Organizational Documents for a date no later than thirty (30) days following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. After the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, Moringa shall solicit proxies from the Moringa shareholders to vote in favor of the Moringa Shareholder Approval Matters, as approved by the Moringa board of directors, which approval shall also be included in the Registration Statement.
(f) If, on the date for which the Moringa Special Meeting is scheduled, Moringa has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares to obtain the Required Moringa Shareholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, Moringa may make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Moringa Special Meeting. Moringa may also adjourn the Moringa Special Meeting to establish a quorum or if the Moringa shareholders have elected to redeem a number of shares of Moringa Ordinary Shares as of such time that would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of Nasdaq to approve the listing of the Company Ordinary Shares and Company Warrants because of the failure to meet the Nasdaq initial listing requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Company, in no event shall Moringa adjourn the Moringa Special Meeting for more than fifteen (15) Business Days later than the most recently adjourned meeting or to a date that is beyond four (4) Business Days prior to the Outside Date. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, Moringa covenants that none of the Moringa board of directors (including any committee thereof) or Moringa shall withdraw, withhold or modify, or publicly propose a change to any recommendation in support of the Transactions.
59
(g) The Company (with reasonable cooperation from Moringa) shall take such steps as are necessary for the listing of the Company Ordinary Shares and the Company Warrants on Nasdaq, and shall provide such information as is necessary to obtain Nasdaq approval of such listing.
5.11 Company Shareholder Approvals. Within seven (7) Business Days of this Agreement, the Company shall duly call, give notice of and convene (for a date that is no later than ten (10) days from the date of the notice) a special meeting of its shareholders for the purpose of obtaining, and within forty five (45) days of the date hereof, the Company shall obtain, in the form mutually agreed upon in writing by the Company and Moringa, (A) the Requisite Vote of the shareholders of the Company in accordance with the Company’s Organizational Documents and applicable Law, for (i) the adoption and approval of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents to which the Company is a party, the Merger and the other Transactions, (ii) the approval of the Restated Company Articles and the Capital Restructuring, including all Company Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the Capital Restructuring and upon exercise of any warrants remaining outstanding upon completion of the Capital Restructuring; (iii) the adoption and approval of the Incentive Equity Plan Modifications, as well as a new Equity Incentive Plan for the Company in a form to be mutually agreed by Moringa and the Company prior to the filing of the Registration Statement (the “Equity Plan”), which will provide that the total amount of awards that may be granted under such Equity Plan (including all allocated, unallocated and promised awards) as of immediately after the Closing will be equal to 3,453,093 Company Ordinary Shares (the “New Unallocated Pool”), (iv) the New Employment Agreements, (v) the appointment of the members of the Post-Closing Company Board of Directors in accordance with Section 5.15 hereof, (vi) the issuance of Company Ordinary Shares and Company Warrants pursuant to this Agreement, including (w) the issuance of Company Ordinary Shares upon conversion of the New SAFE Agreements in accordance with their terms, (x) the Company Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the Capital Restructuring, and (y) the Company Ordinary Shares and the Company Warrants issuable pursuant to Sections 1.7(a)(ii) and 1.7(c) (including the Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrants) and the reservation for issuance of the maximum number of Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Company Warrants, (vii) the issuance of the Notes and the Financing Warrants, including the Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and upon exercise of the Financing Warrants, and the reservation for issuance of such number of the Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and upon exercise of the Financing Warrants as are required to be reserved for issuance purchase to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Notes and the Warrants, including such additional number of Company Ordinary Shares as may become issuable in the event that the warrant exercise price is reduced based on the formula set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement; (vii) the D&O Tail Insurance, the D&O Policy and the D&O Indemnification Agreements, and (viii) such other matters as the Company and Moringa shall hereafter mutually determine to be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the Transactions (the matters described in foregoing clauses (i) through (ix), collectively, the “Company Shareholder Approval Matters”) (such approval, together with the Rights Waivers (as defined below), the “Required Company Shareholder Approval”), and (B) the waiver of all preemptive rights, anti-dilution rights, participation rights, rights of first refusal, right of first offer, over allotment rights, co-sale rights, subscription rights, and any and all other similar rights or timely notice rights thereto, if any, by all holders of such rights, in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the Transactions (the “Rights Waivers”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to solicit from the holders of Company Ordinary Shares, Company Ordinary A Shares and Company Preferred Shares proxies or written consents in favor of the Company Shareholder Approval Matters, and to take all other actions necessary or advisable to secure the Required Company Shareholder Approval within forty five (45) days of the date hereof, including enforcing the Voting Agreements.

In connection with the preparation of the Signing Press Release, the Signing Filing, the Closing Filing, the Closing Press Release, or any other report, statement, filing notice or application made by or on behalf of a Party to any Governmental Authority or other third party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, each Party shall, upon request by any other Party, furnish the Parties with all information concerning themselves, their respective directors, officers and equity holders, and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Transactions, or any other report, statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of a Party to any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions. From and after the Effective Time, any matter requiring Moringa approval shall require the approval of the Sponsor.
5.13 Confidentiality. Moringa, the Company and Merger Sub each acknowledges that the information being provided to it in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions is subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. The Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall apply to all information furnished thereunder or hereunder and any other activities contemplated thereby.

61
5.15 Post-Closing Company Board of Directors. The Parties shall take all necessary action, so that effective as of the Effective Time, the Company’s board of directors (the “Post-Closing Company Board of Directors”) will consist of seven directors, of which (i) four directors shall be designated prior to the Closing by the Company, at least two of whom shall be considered independent directors under the Nasdaq requirements, (ii) one director shall be designated prior to the Closing by Moringa, and (iii) two independent directors (under Nasdaq requirements) shall be designated prior to the Closing by the Company, subject to the consent of Moringa, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that the composition of the Post-Closing Company Board of Directors shall comply with all requirements of the Israeli Companies Law and Nasdaq.
5.16 Indemnification of Directors and Officers; Tail Insurance.
(a) The Parties agree that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses existing in favor of the current or former directors and officers of Moringa and the Company, and each Person who served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, company, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise at the request of Moringa or the Company (the “D&O Indemnified Persons”) as provided in Moringa’s or the Company’s Organizational Documents or under any indemnification, employment or other similar agreements between any D&O Indemnified Person and Moringa or the Company, as applicable, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations thereunder to any D&O Indemnified Person. For a period of seven (7) years after the Effective Time, the Company shall cause the Organizational Documents of the Company and the Surviving Company to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation and indemnification of and advancement of expenses to D&O Indemnified Persons than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the Organizational Documents of Moringa and the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. The provisions of this Section 5.16 shall survive the Closing and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Persons and their respective heirs and representatives, each of whom shall be a third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 5.16(a). The Company shall not have any obligation under this Section 5.16 to any D&O Indemnified Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine, in a final, non-appealable judgement, that the indemnification of such D&O Indemnified Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law. If the Company or the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) shall merge or consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the surviving or continuing corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of their respective properties and assets as an entity in one or a series of related transactions to any Person, then in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors or assigns of the Company or the Surviving Company shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.16.
(b) The Company shall obtain at or prior to the Closing, and fully pay the premium for a “tail” directors and officers liability insurance policy (in such an amount and on terms and conditions satisfactory to Moringa) that provides coverage for a seven-year period from and after the Effective Time for events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (i) for Moringa’s directors, officers and other persons covered by Moringa’s current directors and officers liability policy which is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate than Moringa’s existing policy or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage, and (ii) for the benefit of the Company’s directors and officers, equivalent coverage or, if equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage (collectively, the “D&O Tail Insurance”). The Company shall maintain the D&O Tail Insurance in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder, and the Company shall timely pay or cause to be paid all premiums with respect to the D&O Tail Insurance.
62
(c) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall obtain, from financially sound and reputable insurers, Directors and Officers liability insurance in such an amount and on terms and conditions satisfactory to Moringa, to be effective from and as of the Effective Time (the “D&O Policy”). The Company undertakes that, subject to the mandatory limitations under applicable Law, as long as the Company may be obligated to provide indemnification to any of its directors and officers, the Company will maintain such D&O Policy in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder, and the Company shall timely pay or cause to be paid all premiums with respect to the D&O Policy.
(d) Prior to Closing, the Company shall deliver to each member of the Post-Closing Company Board of Directors an executed director and officer indemnification agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J (with any changes to be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Company and Moringa), duly executed by the Company, which shall be effective as of the Effective Time (the “D&O Indemnification Agreements”).
5.17 Trust Account Proceeds. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at the Closing) and provision of notice thereof to the Trustee (which notice Moringa shall provide to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement): (a) in accordance with and pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Moringa Organizational Documents and the Cayman Islands Law, at the Closing, Moringa: (i) shall cause the documents, certificates and notices required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement to be so delivered, including providing the Trustee with that certain termination letter attached as Exhibit A to the Trust Agreement (“Trust Termination Letter”), and (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to distribute the Trust Account as directed in the Trust Termination Letter, including all amounts payable: (A) to Public Shareholders who have properly elected to have their Moringa Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash in accordance with the provisions of the Moringa Organizational Documents; (B) for income tax or other tax obligations of Moringa prior to Closing; (C) with respect to the deferred expenses of the IPO; (D) for any Transaction Expenses of Moringa; (E) as repayment of loans and reimbursement of expenses to directors, officers and equityholders of Moringa, the Sponsor or their respective Affiliates; and (F) to a trust account securing amounts due by Moringa under any forward purchase agreement(s), non-redemption agreements, backstop agreements and similar agreements entered into by both Moringa and the Company in connection with the Transactions (an “FPA”), in accordance with any such FPA, and (b) thereafter, the Trust Agreement shall terminate, except as otherwise provided therein. The Parties agree that subject to the Closing, the funds remaining in the Trust Account, after taking into account the payments referred to above, and any proceeds received by the Company from the Note Financing, shall first be used to pay Transaction Expenses of the Company and the remainder will be paid to the Company.
5.18 Financing. Prior to or simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company has executed the Securities Purchase Agreement with the Investor in connection with the Financing. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to enforce its rights under the Securities Purchase Agreement and to cause the Investor to pay the Company the principal amount of the Financing payable at the Closing pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, any Notes issued in connection with the Financing shall be issued at the Closing, which, for the avoidance of doubt, follows the consummation of the Capital Restructuring (and the number of Company Ordinary Shares, purchase price per share and other terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall not be modified in any way by the Capital Restructuring or the Conversion Ratio).
63
5.19 F-1 Registration Statement. Within thirty days after the Closing, the Company shall file a registration statement on Form F-1 (the “F-1 Registration Statement”), covering the (i) sale of Company Ordinary Shares which are held by Persons who are parties to the Amended SRA or the Restated Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) sale of Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of Continuing Warrants, the holders of which have such registration rights, and (iii) to the extent that SEC regulations and guidance do not allow them to be covered by the Registration Statement, sale of Company Warrants and Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of Company Warrants which are held by Persons who are parties to the Restated Registration Rights Agreement. The Company will use its commercially reasonably efforts to obtain effectiveness of the F-1 Registration Statement within 90 days of filing. The parties understand that the Company will be a party to a registration rights agreement pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company agrees to register the sale of Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Financing Warrants (the “Financing Registration Rights Agreement”). To the extent that the Company may not register the sale of the Company Ordinary Shares, Company Warrants and Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of Company Warrants to be registered pursuant to this Section 5.19 and the sale of the Company Ordinary Shares to be registered under the Financing Registration Rights Agreement in a single registration statement, the Company shall first register the sale of Company Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Financing Registration Rights Agreement (such registration statement, the “Financing Registration Statement”) and shall then register the sale of Company Ordinary Shares, Company Warrants and Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of Company Warrants pursuant to this Section 5.19 as soon as practical thereafter based on SEC rules or guidance, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement with respect to such sale of Company Ordinary Shares, Company Warrants and Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of Company Warrants within thirty days after the initial filing of the Financing Registration Statement or earlier if filing within such time is permitted by SEC guidance and regulations. The Parties shall use the same efforts with respect to the F-1 Registration Statement that is required by Section 5.10 with respect to the Registration Statement; provided, that it shall be a condition to the Company’s obligation to file the F-1 Registration Statement in respect of the applicable selling shareholders thereunder, that such selling shareholders provide the Company with the information reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion in the F-1 Registration Statement. To the extent that registration is required for the issuance of Company Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Company Warrants issued to the holders of Moringa Warrants pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall either file a registration statement on Form F-1 or a Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file such a registration statement or post-effective amendment if the market price of the Company Ordinary Shares for a period of 30 consecutive trading days is less than 80% of the exercise price of those Company Warrants. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 5.19, the Company shall not be required to file any registration statement pursuant to this Section 5.19 to the extent that such filing would constitute a breach of the Company’s obligations set forth in Section 4(k) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
5.20 Termination of Company Investor Agreements. Prior to the Closing, the Target Companies shall terminate, as part of the Amended SRA, each Company Investor Agreement without any party thereto having any continuing obligations or other Liability to the other.
5.21 No Use of Moringa Name. The Target Companies (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Surviving Company) shall have no right or expectancy in or to the name “Moringa Acquisition Corp” or any derivation thereof, the trading symbols “MACA”, “MACAW” and “MACAU”, Moringa’s internet domain name, any other name or logo of Moringa or any of its Affiliates, or the Intellectual Property rights therein (collectively, the “Moringa Identifiers”). Immediately prior to the Closing, Moringa shall transfer the Moringa Identifiers to an entity of the Sponsor’s choosing for aggregate consideration of $1.00.

In the event of the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void, and there shall be no Liability on the part of any Party or any of their respective Representatives, and all rights and obligations of each Party shall cease, except that: (i) Sections 5.12, 5.13 5.21, 7.3, 7.4, Article VIII, Article X, this Section 7.2 and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from Liability for any Fraud Claim against such Party or any willful breach of this Agreement by such Party, in either case, occurring prior to termination of this Agreement (in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, subject to Article VIII).

69
7.3 Fees and Expenses. Subject to Article VIII, all Transaction Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses; provided, however, that any filing fees (or similar fees) with respect to any regulatory or governmental Consent (including under Antitrust Laws), excluding the Registration Statement which will be funded by the Company, as well as the cost of procuring (if mutually agreed by Moringa and the Company) an independent market research report for use in connection with the Transactions, shall be borne by Moringa and the Company in equal parts; provided further, that, at or following the Closing, all expenses payable by the Company and Moringa shall be payable by the Company or the Surviving Company and may be paid, inter alia, from the Trust Account. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Fee (as defined below), if payable pursuant to Section 7.4, shall be paid by the Company.
7.4 Special Fee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and only provided that this Agreement has not been terminated under one or more of the terms of Section 7.1(a) – 7.1(i) (excluding 7.1(g) – 7.1(h)) herein prior to the lapse of forty five (45) days from the date hereof (in respect of (i)) or prior to the lapse of ten weeks from the date of this Agreement (in respect of (ii)), (i) if the Required Company Shareholder Approval has not been obtained within forty five (45) days of the date hereof, or (ii) if the Registration Statement on behalf of the Company has not been filed with the SEC within ten weeks from the date of this Agreement (other than as a result of the failure of Moringa to provide information concerning Moringa required to be included in the Registration Statement reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company), the Company shall immediately (and in any event within seven (7) days from Moringa’s written demand) pay a fee to Moringa in an amount of US$3 million (the “Special Fee”), in cash, by irrevocable wire transfer in immediately available funds, to an account designated by Moringa, this being the sole monetary remedy and/or right to which Moringa may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity, for breach of the covenant to obtain the Required Shareholder Approval within forty five (45) days from the date hereof and for breach of the covenant to file the Registration Statement with the SEC within ten weeks from the date of this Agreement. Such payment shall not be conditional upon Moringa having to present evidence of any loss. For the avoidance of doubt, Moringa has the right to specific performance pursuant to Section 9.7 and the Company unconditionally accepts this; provided that Moringa shall no longer be entitled to the Special Fee, and shall return any amount received on account of the Special Fee, if following enforcement of this Agreement the Parties consummate the Transactions as contemplated herein prior to February 15, 2023. However, if the Company does not have sufficient cash to pay the Special Fee when due, then the portion of the Special Fee that the Company does not have sufficient cash to pay shall instead be payable as follows: (x) of any amount advanced to, or invested in, the Company or its subsidiaries until February 15, 2023, 12% shall be used to pay the outstanding balance of the Special Fee, and (y) any amount of the Special Fee that remains outstanding on February 15, 2023, shall be immediately payable to Moringa in cash by irrevocable wire transfer in immediately available funds, to an account designated by Moringa (or, alternatively, at the Company’s election, by issuance of a Safe agreement to Moringa, substantially in the form of the New SAFE Agreements, with the substantive changes being that (1) such Safe agreement shall be effective as of the issuance thereof, (2) Section 2(a) and any reference thereto shall be deleted, (3) the “Final Date” shall be February 15, 2023, and (4) the “Purchase Amount” shall be the outstanding balance of the Special Fee). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Liquidity Event (as defined in the New Safe Agreements on the date hereof), Moringa shall have the right, at its discretion, to convert the outstanding balance of the Special Fee into the consideration payable in respect of the New Safe Agreements (treating the outstanding balance of the Special Fee as the Purchase Amount thereunder).

WAIVERS AND Releases
8.1 Waiver of Claims
Against Trust. Reference is made to the IPO Prospectus. Each of the Company and Merger Sub hereby represents and warrants that it
has read the IPO Prospectus and understands that Moringa has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of the IPO and the
overallotment securities acquired by Moringa’s underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the
IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of Moringa’s public shareholders (including overallotment
shares acquired and distributed by Moringa’s underwriters) (the “Public Shareholders”) and that, except
as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus, Moringa may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the
Public Shareholders in the event they elect to redeem their Moringa Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of Moringa’s
initial business combination (as such term is used in the IPO Prospectus) (“Business Combination”) or in connection
with an amendment to Moringa’s Organizational Documents to extend Moringa’s deadline to consummate a Business Combination,
(b) to the Public Shareholders if Moringa fails to consummate a Business Combination within twenty four (24) months
after the closing of the IPO, subject to extension as described in the Prospectus relating to Moringa’s IPO and any further extensions
which may be approved by Moringa’s shareholders, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held
in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any taxes and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, and (d)
to Moringa after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of Moringa entering into this
Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company
and Merger Sub hereby agrees (on behalf of itself and its respective Affiliates, Representatives and equityholders) that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company or Merger Sub (nor any of their respective Affiliates, Representative
or equityholders) do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the
Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless
of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any other matter, and regardless
of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released
Claims”). Each of the Company and Merger Sub (on behalf of itself and its respective Affiliates, Representatives and equityholders)
hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that any such Party or any of its Affiliates, Representatives or equityholders may have
against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account
(including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement
with Moringa or its Affiliates). The Company and Merger Sub each agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to
this Agreement and specifically relied upon by Moringa and its Affiliates to induce Moringa to enter in this Agreement, and each of the
Company and Merger Sub further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such Party and each of
its Affiliates, Representatives and equityholders under applicable Law. To the extent that the Company or Merger Sub (or any of their
respective Affiliates, Representatives or equityholders) commences any Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising
out of any matter relating to Moringa, its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or
in part, monetary relief against Moringa, its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives, each of the Company and Merger Sub
hereby acknowledges and agrees that its (and its Affiliates’, Representatives’ and equityholders’) sole remedy shall
be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit such Party or any of its Affiliates, Representatives
or equityholders (or any Person claiming on any of their behalf or in lieu of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including
any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event that the Company or Merger Sub or any of their respective
Affiliates, Representatives or equityholders commences any Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter
relating to Moringa, its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against
the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the Public Shareholders, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive
relief, Moringa, its Affiliates and its or their respective Representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from the Company,
Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates, Representatives or equityholders, as applicable, the associated legal fees and costs (including
pre-judgment interest) in connection with any such Action. This Section 8.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement for
any reason and continue indefinitely.
71
8.2 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. Except to the extent a Party (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such Party in this Agreement), (a) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, sponsor, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any Party, and (b) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, sponsor, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the Company, Moringa or Merger Sub under this Agreement or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions (each of the Persons identified in clauses (a) or (b), a “Non-Recourse Party”, and collectively, the “Non-Recourse Parties”).
