shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 4.3 unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses equals or exceeds [***] U.S. Dollars (US$ [***]), in which case the Company and EVGN shall be liable for the

by EVGN and (ii) limited solely to total number of shares of the Company held by EVGN as of the date of such claim (the “EVGN Shares”). EVGN shall be entitled to indemnify each of the Indemnified
Parties by transferring to that party (i) such number of EVGN Shares, which shall equal the amount of damages for which indemnification is due, divided by the Fair Market Value of one Ordinary Share at the time of payment (as determined
below) and such transfer of shares shall constitute full satisfaction of EVGN’s liability towards the Indemnified Parties and/or, if so elected by Lead Purchaser upon its sole discretion, (ii) cash in the amount of damages for which
indemnification is due (in lieu of transferring the appropriate number of EVGN Shares), at the sole direction of EVGN. The “Fair Market Value” of the Ordinary Shares shall be determined as follows: (i)
if traded on a securities exchange or through the Nasdaq Global Market, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the shares on such exchange or system over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to
the transfer of the Ordinary Shares; (ii) if actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior
to the transfer of the Ordinary Shares; and (iii) if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by EVGN and the Indemnified Party; or if
they fail to agree within seven (7) days from the request of the Indemnified Party to determine such valuation, then such value shall be determined by an arbitrator agreed between the parties (the “Arbitrator”)
appointed for the sole purpose of determining the Valuation of the Company. If the parties fail to reach an agreement relating to the identity of the Arbitrator, then the head of the Israel Bar Association shall appoint the Arbitrator. The
Arbitrator shall provide EVGN and the Indemnified Party within 14 days of its appointment with its valuation and the reasoning to it in writing and such determination shall be final and binding on the Parties. This clause shall be deemed to
be a valid Arbitration Agreement for the purpose of the Israeli Arbitration Law, 1968.
