144”) without restriction, the Company covenants to use its commercially
reasonable efforts to (a) timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file
within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after

Appointment
of a Board Member. The Company shall endeavour that the Investor (or a representative
of the Investor) is appointed as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”), pursuant and subject to the Company’s governing documents
and applicable law. Such appointment shall take place as soon as reasonably practical
after the Closing (for the sake of clarification, the Investor shall have the right to
exercise his voting rights attached to the Shares actually owned by the Investor, with
regard to the appointment of Board members). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company
shall not be construed in breach of this Agreement if it endeavours to appoint the
Investor’s representative to the Board and yet the Investor (or a representative of
the Investor) is not elected to serve on the Board. If the Investor representative will
not be appointed to the Board within 60 days from the date hereof, the Investor will have
the right to cancel the Agreement and receive the amounts deposited with the Escrow Agent
by him, and the Investor shall not be entitled to any other further rights and/or
remedies due to the cancellation of the Agreement pursuant to this Section. It is
clarified that the Company shall not transfer to the Investor (and the Escrow Agent shall
not release to the Investor) any Shares, for which the respected Purchase Price was not
paid to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Section. |
|
6.4 |
Undertaking
to Keep Shabat. The Company undertakes that if it commences operations in the State
of Israel, it will endeavour to abide the Jewish Shabbat rules. |
|
6.5 |
Registration
Rights. Six month pursuant to the Closing, at any time at the Investor’s demand,
the Company shall grant to the Investor registration rights in respect of the Shares. |
|
6.6 |
Use
of Proceeds. The proceeds from this Agreement (the “Proceeds”) shall
be used for general working capital. The use of the Proceeds in order to repay any
outstanding debt, as of the date of Closing, will be approved by the Board, which

Section 6.3 above. |
|
6.7 |
KDV
Demo. The Company shall demo a working unit of the KDV in Germany or Spain to the
Investor within sixty (60) days period after the date hereof (the “KDV Demo”).
Any delay in the KDV Demo will entitle the Investor to either suspend or cancel the
transfer of the remainder of the Purchase Price and the Subsequent Closings which were
not executed by that time. If the Investor elects to cancel the agreement, he will
receive all the amounts deposited with the Escrow Agent by him, and the Investor shall
not be entitled to any other further rights and/or remedies due to the cancellation of
the Agreement pursuant to this Section. It is clarified that the Company shall not
transfer to the Investor (and the Escrow Agent shall not release to the Investor) any
Shares, for which the respected Purchase Price was not paid to the Company pursuant to
the terms of this Section 6.7. The aforementioned cancellation or suspension shall be the
sole remedy available to the Investor (and the fully owned entity) for failure by the
Company to perform the Demo, and the Investor (and the fully owned entity) shall have no
further claim or demand against the Company in this respect. For the purpose hereof, a
KDV Demo is the actual production of diesel from waste at a rate of at least 500 litres
per hour, in accordance with the presentation attached hereto as Schedule 6.7. |

Period, the Investor shall have the right of first offer to participate in any subsequent
equity financing by the Company (the “Right of First Offer”). The
Company shall give the Investor a thirty (30) day advanced notice of its intent to seek
or conclude additional equity financing, in which it shall specify the material terms of
any such potential equity financing with a third party (the “Notice”).
The Company shall not be obligated to disclose the identity of such potential third party
investor to the Investor. The Investor shall have 14 (fourteen) days to advise the
Company of his agreement to provide the Company with the additional financing pursuant to
the same terms (or other terms suggested by the Investor, which are better than the terms
included in the Notice, based on the Company’s sole and undisputed judgement)
provided in the Notice (the “Right of First Offer Period”). If, at
the expiration of the Right of First Offer Period, the Investor has declined or otherwise
failed to respond to the Notice, the Company shall be free to seek and conclude the
additional equity financing with the third party as it deems fit, the Right of First
Offer granted hereby shall expire and the Investor shall have no further claims and/or
participation entitlements in respect of the aforementioned additional equity financing.
Should the Investor breach his commitment to pay for the Shares pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement, the Right of First Offer shall be null and void. |

10.2 |
Survival
of Representations and Warranties. |
|
Each
party hereto covenants and agrees that the representations and warranties of such party
contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing. |
|
(a) |
The
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and its
directors, officers, employees and agents (the “Investor
Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable
attorney fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection
with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or
proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement thereof)
(collectively, “Losses”) to which the Investor
Indemnitees may become subject as a result of any breach of
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company under the
Transaction Documents and will reimburse the Investor Indemnitees for all
such amounts as they are incurred by the Investor Indemnitees. |
|
(b) |
The
Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its
directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Company
Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses to which such
Company Indemnitees may become subject as a result of any breach of
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to be performed
on the part of the Investor under the Transaction Documents, and will
reimburse any such Company Indemnitees for all such amounts as they are
incurred by such Company Indemnitees. |
|
(c) |
Promptly
after receipt by the Investor Indemnitees or Company Indemnitees, as
applicable, of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or
might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding
or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to
Section 10.3, the Investor Indemnitees or Company Indemnitees, as
applicable, shall promptly notify the other Party in writing and such
other Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the engagement of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Investor Indemnitees or Company
Indemnitees, as applicable, and shall assume the payment of all fees and
expenses; provided, however, that the failure of the Investor
Indemnitees or Company Indemnitees, as applicable, so to notify the other
Party shall not relieve the other Party of its obligations hereunder
except to the extent that the other Party is materially prejudiced by such
failure to notify. In any such proceeding, the Investor Indemnitees or
Company Indemnitees, as applicable, shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense
of the Investor Indemnitees or Company Indemnitees, as applicable, unless: |
|
(i) |
the
Parties shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or |
|
(ii) |
in
the reasonable judgment of counsel to the Investor Indemnitees or Company
Indemnitees, as applicable, representation of both parties by the same
counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between them. |
|
The
other Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with
such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the other Party shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Investor Indemnitees or Company Indemnitees, as
applicable, from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason
of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior written consent of the Investor
Indemnitees or Company Indemnitees, as applicable, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, the other Party shall not effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which any Investor Indemnitees or Company
Indemnitees, as applicable, is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by the Investor Indemnitees or Company Indemnitees, as applicable,
unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Investor Indemnitees or
Company Indemnitees, as applicable, from all liability arising out of such proceeding. |
|
(d) |
Threshold.
No claims shall be asserted against an Indemnifying party unless the aggregate
Loss claimed exceeds USD 50,000 (Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars), provided that,
in case of a claim or claims in excess of the aforesaid threshold, the claim
can be submitted for the entire amount. |
|
10.4 |
Entire
Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto in
respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings of the parties, oral and written, with respect to the subject matter
contained herein. |
|
10.5 |
Third
Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor
may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person. |
|
10.6 |
Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties and their successors and assigns. Neither the Company nor the Investor shall
assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the other. |
|
10.7 |
Independent
Nature of the Investor’s Obligations and Rights. The obligations of the Investor
under the Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any
other third party, and neither the Company nor any third party shall be responsible in
any way for the performance of the obligations of the Investor under the Transaction
Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action
taken by any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the
Investor to be in partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of
entity with any third party, or create a presumption that the Investor is in any way
acting in concert or as a group with other shareholders of the Company with respect to
such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the
Company acknowledges that the Investor is not acting in concert or as part of a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. The Investor confirms that it has independently participated in the
negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and
advisors. The Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights,
including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any
other Transaction Document. |
|
10.8 |
Publicity.
The Investor shall not disclose the terms of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents, the fact that such transactions have been discussed, negotiated
and/or completed and/or any other information related to them to any third party prior to
obtaining the Company’s prior written consent to such disclosure. The Investor shall
have the right to review a reasonable period of time before issuance of any press
releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled,
without the prior approval of the Investor, to make any press release or SEC or other
regulatory filings with respect to such transactions as is required by applicable law and
regulations. |
|
10.9 |
Binding
Effect; Benefits. This Agreement and all the provisions hereof shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns; nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer
on any persons other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted
assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this
Agreement. |

Amendment;
Waivers. All modifications, amendments or waivers to this Agreement shall require the
written consent of both the Company the Investor. |
|
10.11 |
Governing
Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to
the choice of law principles thereof. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in New York
County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the
purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the parties hereto
irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or
proceeding and to the laying of venue in such court. Each party hereto irrevocably waives
any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in
such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding
brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION WITH
RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND REPRESENTS THAT COUNSEL HAS BEEN CONSULTED
SPECIFICALLY AS TO THIS WAIVER. |
|
10.12 |
Further
Assurances. Each party hereto shall do and perform or cause to be done and performed
all such further acts and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements,
certificates, instruments and documents as any other party hereto reasonably may request
in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. |
|
10.13 |
Counterparts.
This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed to be an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same document. in
the event that any signature (including a financing signature page) is delivered by
facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such
signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose
behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or
“.pdf” signature page were an original thereof. |
|
10.14 |
Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof but shall be
interpreted as if it were written so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted
by applicable law, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which
renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. |
