In this regard, the “Determining Shareholders Equity of the Company” shall mean the amount of the Company’s equity capital attributed to the Company shareholders according to the latest audited or reviewed consolidated financial statements of the Company, as applicable, as of the date of the indemnification payment.







It is hereby clarified that the payment of the aforesaid indemnification amount shall not prejudice your entitlement to receive insurance proceeds, including on account of the Indemnifiable Events in the Indemnification Undertaking that are insured by an insurance company, which the Company shall receive from time to time, if any, within the framework of any liability insurance for Office Holders at the Company, provided that you do not receive double compensation in respect to any liability or expense which is indemnifiable as set forth in section 2 above and subject also to the provisions of section 5.6 below.







Without derogating from the provisions of section 5.6 above, it is explicitly emphasized that the Company’s payments shall constitute an “additional layer,” beyond the total of the insurance proceeds that are paid by the insurer, should any be paid. It is likewise emphasized that this Indemnification Undertaking is not a contract in favor of any third party, including any insurer, and is not assignable, and no insurer shall be entitled to demand the Company’s participation in any amount, whose payment devolves on an insurer in accordance with an insurance contract entered into with the insurer, save for the deductible stipulated in the said contract.







In the event that the total indemnification amounts which the Company shall be required to pay at any particular time, together with the total indemnification amounts paid by the Company until that time pursuant to the Indemnification Undertakings, shall exceed the Maximum Indemnification Amount, then the Maximum Indemnification Amount or the balance thereof shall be divided amongst the Office Holders at the Company, who shall be entitled to indemnification amounts as aforesaid on account of demands served on the Company according to the Indemnification Undertakings and which have not been paid prior to that time (hereinafter - the “Eligible Office Holders”), in a manner that the indemnification amount actually received by each of the Eligible Office Holders shall be calculated according to the pro rata relationship between the indemnification amount to which each of the Office Holders would have been entitled and the indemnification amount to which each of the Office Holders would have been entitled, cumulatively, at that time on account of such demands, were it not for the limitation on the Maximum Indemnification Amount.







Where the Company has paid indemnification amounts to Office Holders at the Company at the level of the Maximum Indemnification Amount, the Company shall not bear additional indemnification amounts unless the payment of such additional indemnification amounts is approved by the organs of the Company which are competent to approve this increase according to law at the time of payment of the additional indemnification amounts and subject to changing the Company’s articles of association, should this prove necessary, according to law.









  





3











  






 


It should be clarified that this Indemnification Undertaking does not limit the Company or prevent it from increasing the Maximum Indemnification Amount on account of events which form the object of the indemnification, whether because the insurance amounts according to Office Holders’ liability insurance policy are reduced, whether because the Company is not able to obtain Office Holders’ insurance which will cover the events forming the object of the indemnification on reasonable conditions, or whether for any other cause, provided that the said decision shall be obtained in ways prescribed by the Companies Law.







3.2           Indemnification Amount in Respect to the Indemnifiable Events


Subject to the provisions of section 3.1 above, the Indemnification Undertaking in respect to each of the Indemnifiable Events shall be limited, in relation to each Office Holder in the Company separately and for each event separately, in the amount of the liability or expense which is indemnifiable as aforesaid, but not more than the Maximum Indemnification Amount in relation to each of the Indemnifiable Events.


 



	
4.

	
Interim Payments












Upon the occurrence of an event on account of which you may be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Company will make available to you, from time to time, the monies required to cover the expenses and various other payments involved in handling any legal proceeding against you connected to that event, including investigation proceedings, in a manner that you will not be required to pay them or to finance them in person, subject always to the terms and provisions set forth in this Indemnification Undertaking.







In the event that the Company shall pay you on in your stead any amounts in the framework of this Indemnification Undertaking in connection with a legal proceeding as stated, and it then becomes apparent that you are not entitled to indemnification from the Company for those sums, the provisions of section 5.8 below shall apply.

5.2

	
Handling of the Defense

The Company shall not be entitled to bring to a close the said Proceeding by way of compromise and/or settlement and/or your agreement to a compromise and/or a settlement in consequence of which you will be required to pay amounts for which you shall not receive indemnification according to this Indemnification Undertaking and which shall not even be paid in the framework of insurance that shall be purchased to cover Office Holders’ liability in the Company by the Company and/or its subsidiary and/or its affiliate or Other Corporation, otherwise than with your advance consent, in writing, to the compromise that is attained. The Company shall likewise not be entitled to bring the dispute forming the subject of the said Proceeding for resolution by way of arbitration or compromise or mediation, otherwise than with your advance consent, in writing, provided that you shall not refuse to give your said consent other than on reasonable grounds which shall be furnished to the Company in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, even if the dispute in the Proceeding is referred for resolution by way of arbitration or compromise or mediation or by any other means, the Company shall bear all of the expenses that relate thereto.







Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Company shall not be entitled to bring the dispute forming the subject of the said Proceeding for resolution by way of a compromise and/or arrangement and/or to bring the dispute forming the subject of the said Proceeding for resolution to bring the dispute forming the subject of the said Proceeding for resolution by way of arbitration or compromise or mediation, in cases of criminal indictments against you, unless you give your consent in advance and in writing thereto. You may refuse to give your consent as aforesaid in this paragraph according to your absolute discretion and without your being required to give reasons for your non-consent.







In the event that within 7 days of the date of receiving the Indemnification Notice by the Company (or such shorter period if required for the sake of filing your Defense or your response to a Proceeding), as aforesaid, the Company shall not assume the handling of your defense in the said Proceeding, or if you object to your representation by the attorneys of the Company on reasonable grounds or out of a possibility of conflict of interest, you shall be entitled to switch your representation to an attorney of your choosing and the provisions of this Indemnification Undertaking shall apply to expenses that may be incurred by you in respect to the appointment of the said attorney.

5.5
