reasonable basis for any such action, suit, proceeding or claim; (B) challenging the validity, enforceability or scope of any Intellectual Property, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such action,

follows:
(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, jointly or severally, arising out of or based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Marketing Material, any Section 5(d)
Written Communication, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433), or any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) that does not
constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, jointly or severally, to the extent of the aggregate
amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Authority, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue
statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 6(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be delayed or withheld; and
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Authority, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged
untrue statement or omission (whether or not a party), to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or
(ii) above,
provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of
any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Aegis Information (as defined below).
34
(b) Indemnification by Xxxxx. Aegis agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its directors, each officer of
the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
described in the indemnity contained in Section 6(a), as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or in any
preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Marketing Material, any Section 5(d) Written Communication, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing) in reliance upon
and in conformity with information relating to Aegis and furnished to the Company in writing by Aegis expressly for use therein. The Company hereby acknowledges that the only information that Aegis has furnished to the Company expressly for use in
any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Marketing Material, any Section 5(d) Written Communication, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing) is the Aegis
Information. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, in no event shall any indemnity by Aegis under this section exceed the total discount and commission received by Aegis in connection with the offering.
(c) Actions Against Parties; Notification. Any party that proposes to assert the
right to be indemnified under this Section 6 will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim may be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 6, notify each
such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from (i) any liability that it might have to any
indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6 and (ii) any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provision of this Section 6 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of
substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of any proceeding brought by a third party for which indemnification could be sought hereunder, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense,
the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any other legal expenses except as provided below. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other
charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (2) the indemnified party has been advised by counsel
that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (3) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (4) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to
assume the defense of such action or counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in each case, within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action; in each of which cases the reasonable fees,
disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same
jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such fees, disbursements and other charges
will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. An indemnifying party will not, in any event, be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent. No indemnifying party shall, without
the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 6 (whether or not any
indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (1) includes an express and unconditional release of each indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all
liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (2) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
35
(d) Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. No indemnifying party
shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgement for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify each indemnified party from
and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (1) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after
receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (2) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (3) such indemnifying
party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
SECTION 7. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification
provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of Section 6 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable or insufficient from the Company or Aegis to hold harmless an indemnified party in accordance with the
foregoing paragraph of Section 6, the Company and Aegis will contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount
paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted) to which the Company and Aegis may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and Aegis
on the other hand. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and Aegis on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the sale of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received
by the Company bear to the total compensation received by Aegis (before deducting expenses) from the sale of the Securities on behalf of the Company. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable
law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and Aegis, on the
other hand, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect to such offering. Such
relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or
Aegis, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and Aegis agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to
this Section 7 were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the
loss, claim, liability, expense, or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include, for the purpose of this Section 7, any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent consistent with Section 6(c) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, Aegis shall not be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions actually received by it under this Agreement and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) will be entitled to contribution from
any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the 1933 Act, any affiliates of such party and any officers, directors,
partners, employees or agents of such party or their respective affiliates, will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each director of the Company and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have
the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for
contribution may be made under this Section 7, will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other
obligation it or they may have under this Section 7 except to the extent that the failure to so notify such other party materially prejudiced the substantive rights or defenses of the party from whom contribution is sought. Except for a settlement
entered into pursuant to the last sentence of 6(c) hereof, no party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to Section 6(c) above.
36
SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements
contained in this Agreement or in certificates signed by any officer of the Company (whether signed on behalf of such officer or the Company) and delivered to Aegis or counsel to Aegis, shall remain operative and in full force and effect,
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Aegis, any officer, director, employee, partner, member or agent of Aegis or any person controlling Aegis, or by or on behalf of the Company, any officer, director or employee of the Company
or any person controlling the Company and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.
SECTION 9. Termination of Agreement.
(a) Termination; General. Aegis may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the
Company, at any time on or prior to Closing Date (i) if there has been, at any time on or after the date of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (in each
case exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement), any material adverse change or any development that could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change, in the condition (financial
or other), results of operations, business, properties, management or prospects of the Company and the Subsidiary considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material
adverse change in the financial markets in the United States, Israel or the international financial markets, any declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States or Israel, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other
calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions (including, without limitation, as a result of terrorist activities), in each case the effect of
which is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of Aegis, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, (iii) if (A) trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or
materially limited by the Commission or the Nasdaq Global Market, or (B) trading generally on the NYSE, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange has been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been
fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other governmental authority, or (C) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or
clearance services in the United States, Israel or Europe or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.

(b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 9,
such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof and except that Sections 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 hereof shall survive such termination and
remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 10. Equitable Remedies. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each party to this Agreement
acknowledges and agrees that (a) a breach or threatened breach by the Company of any of its obligations under Section 3(j) would give rise to irreparable harm to Aegis for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and (b) if a breach
or a threatened breach by the Company of any such obligations occurs, Aegis will, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to such party at law, at equity, or otherwise in respect of such breach, be entitled to
equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance of the terms of Section 3(j), and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction, without any requirement to (i) post a
bond or other security, or (ii) prove actual damages or that monetary damages will not afford an adequate remedy. Each party to this Agreement agrees that such party shall not oppose or otherwise challenge the existence of irreparable harm, the
appropriateness of equitable relief or the entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of an order granting equitable relief, in either case, consistent with the terms of this Section 10.
SECTION 11. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be effective only upon receipt
and shall be mailed, delivered by hand or overnight courier, or transmitted by fax (with the receipt of such fax to be confirmed by telephone). Notices to Aegis shall be directed to Aegis Capital Corp., 0000 Xxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx

successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than Aegis and the Company and their respective successors and the controlling persons and other
indemnified parties referred to in Sections 6 and 7 and their successors, heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and all
conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of Xxxxx and the Company and their respective successors, and said controlling persons and other indemnified parties and their successors, heirs and legal

written notice of said service to the Company as provided in this Agreement shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such action, suit or proceeding, and agrees to take any and all such action as may be
necessary to maintain such designation and appointment of such Authorized Agent in full force and effect for a period of seven years from the date of this Agreement.

separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Aegis against such loss in respect of any sum due to Aegis from the Company. If the U.S. dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to Aegis hereunder, Xxxxx
agrees to pay to the Company an amount equal to the excess of the U.S. dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to Aegis hereunder.

RE: RedHill Biopharma Ltd. (the “Company”)
Ladies & Gentlemen:
The undersigned is a record or beneficial owner of American Depositary Shares of the Company (“ADSs”), each
representing ten ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.01 per share, of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”), of Ordinary Shares or of securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for ADSs or Ordinary
Shares. The Company proposes to conduct a public offering of ADSs (the “Offering”) for which Aegis Capital Corp. Aegis(“Aegis”) will act as the underwriter. The
undersigned recognizes that the Offering will benefit each of the Company and the undersigned. The undersigned acknowledges that Aegis is relying on the representations and agreements of the undersigned contained in this letter agreement in
conducting the Offering and, at a subsequent date, in entering into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the Company with respect to the Offering.
Annex A sets forth definitions for capitalized terms used in this letter agreement that are not defined in the body of this letter agreement. Those
definitions are a part of this letter agreement.
In consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
undersigned hereby agrees that, during the Lock-up Period, the undersigned will not (and will cause any Family Member not to), without the prior written consent of Aegis, which may withhold their consent in their sole discretion:
• |
Sell or Offer to Sell any ADSs, Ordinary Shares or Related Securities currently or hereafter owned either of record or beneficially (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by the undersigned or such
Family Member,
|
• |
enter into any Swap,
|
• |
make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of any ADSs, Ordinary Shares or Related Securities, or cause to be filed a
registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement (or an amendment or supplement thereto) with respect to any such registration, or
|
• |
publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing.
|
The foregoing will not apply to the registration of the offer and sale of the offered ADSs, and the sale of the offered ADSs to Aegis, in each case as
contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement. In addition, the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (i) if the undersigned is an individual, dispositions solely in connection with the “cashless” exercise of stock options (the term “cashless”
exercise being intended to include the sale or disposition of a portion of the option shares or previously owned shares to the Company to cover payment of the exercise price) for the purpose of exercising such stock options (including sales in
respect of tax liabilities arising from such exercise and sale), provided that any Ordinary Shares, ADSs or other capital stock received upon such exercise shall be subject to all of the restrictions set forth herein, (ii) ADSs, Ordinary Shares or
Related Securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Offering, provided that prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, no public disclosure or filing under the Exchange Act shall be required, or made voluntarily,
reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of ADSs, Ordinary Shares or Related Securities in connection with any transfer of such ADSs, Ordinary Shares or Related Securities, (iii) following completion of the Offering, transfers pursuant to a
bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Company’s capital stock involving a change of control of the Company, provided that (A) Aegis receives a signed letter agreement from
the recipient of such ADSs, Ordinary Shares or other Related Securities, in the form hereof, for the balance of the Lock-Up Period with respect to any such ADSs, Ordinary Shares or other Related Securities, (B) in the event that after such tender
offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction, any ADSs, Ordinary Shares or other Related Securities are not transferred, sold or tendered, such ADSs, Ordinary Shares or other Related Securities held by the undersigned shall remain
subject to the provisions hereof, and (C) in the event that such tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the ADSs, Ordinary Shares or other Related Securities held by the undersigned shall remain subject to
the provisions hereof, (iv) if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, transfers (A) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity that is a direct
or indirect affiliate (as described in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) of the undersigned or (B) to a shareholder, partner, member or other equity holder, as the case may be, of such corporation, partnership, limited liability
company or other business entity if, in any such case, such transfer is not for value, (v) the transfer of ADSs, Ordinary Shares or Related Securities by gift, or by will or intestate succession, (vi) transfers pursuant to a so-called “living
trust” or other revocable trust established to provide for the disposition of property on the undersigned’s death, in each case to any Family Member, or transfers to a Family Member or to a trust whose beneficiaries consist exclusively of one or
more of the undersigned and/or one or more Family Members and (vii) sales pursuant to any contract, instruction or plan in effect on the date hereof that satisfies all of the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that in the cases of clauses (iv), (v) and (vi), it shall be a condition to such transfer that:
• |
each transferee executes and delivers to Aegis an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Aegis stating that such transferee is receiving and holding such ADSs, Ordinary Shares and/or Related
Securities subject to the provisions of this letter agreement and agrees not to Sell or Offer to Sell such ADSs, Ordinary Shares and/or Related Securities, engage in any Swap or engage in any other activities restricted under this letter
agreement except in accordance with this letter agreement (as if such transferee had been an original signatory hereto), and
|
• |
prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, no public disclosure or filing under the Exchange Act by any party to the transfer (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) shall be required, or made
voluntarily, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of ADSs, Ordinary Shares or Related Securities in connection with such transfer
|
The undersigned may enter into a written plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act relating to the sale of ADSs, Ordinary Shares or
other Related Securities of the Company, provided that the ADSs, Ordinary Shares or other Related Securities subject to such plan may not be sold and no public disclosure of any such plan shall be required or shall be voluntarily made by any person
until after the expiration of the Lock-up Period.
The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of
ADSs, Ordinary Shares and/or Related Securities held by the undersigned and the undersigned’s Family Members, if any, except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
With respect to the Offering only, the undersigned waives any registration rights relating to registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of
any ADSs, Ordinary Shares and/or any Related Securities owned either of record or beneficially by the undersigned, including any rights to receive notice of the Offering.
The undersigned confirms that the undersigned has not, and has no knowledge that any Family Member has, directly or indirectly, taken any action designed to
or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale of the ADSs. The undersigned will not, and will cause any Family Member not to take,
directly or indirectly, any such action.
Whether or not the Offering occurs as currently contemplated or at all depends on market conditions and other factors. The Offering will only be made
pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and Aegis.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power, capacity and authority to enter into this letter agreement. This letter
agreement is irrevocable and will be binding on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned.
If the Underwriting Agreement is not executed by the parties thereto prior to December 15, 2022, this letter agreement shall automatically terminate and
become null and void.
This letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
