8.6          Confidentiality. The parties acknowledge that Parent and Investor have previously executed a Non-Disclosure Agreement towards dated August 1, 2018 (the “Confidentiality Undertaking”), the provisions of which shall apply to all information furnished by the parties hereto through the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. In addition, the parties agree that this Agreement, the exhibits and schedules hereto and the information obtained pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or the Contemplated Transactions shall be governed by the terms of the Confidentiality Undertaking and shall be deemed to be “Confidential Information” thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein or in the Confidentiality Undertaking shall be interpreted or construed to limit, or interfere in any way with, the right of any party hereto to use or disclose any Confidential Information in any action or dispute with any other party hereto in connection with this Agreement.
37

 
8.7            Public Announcements.  Each party hereto shall not, and shall cause its respective affiliates and Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, disclose to any person or issue any press release, news release, or other public statement relating to, interview, advertise, publish or write any publication, in any media, relating to the terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including, if applicable, the termination of this Agreement and the reasons therefor), without the prior written approval of the other parties hereto, except if and as required by applicable law, the preparation of such party’s financial statements or the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange (in which case such required filings or disclosures shall be coordinated reasonably in advance by the parties hereto to the extent otherwise permitted under applicable law or such rules and regulations).
 
8.8           Reasonable Efforts. Each of the parties hereto agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts, and to cooperate with each other party hereto, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, appropriate or desirable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Closing, any Deferred Closing and the Contemplated Transactions.
 
8.9           Assignment of Patents. Following the Closing, the Investor shall cooperate with the Company and the Purchased Company and shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and shall do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, appropriate or desirable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the assignment of the patents identified as owned by the Investor as listed in Schedule 6(1)(ii) to Exhibit A from the Investor to the Purchased Company.
 
8.10          Delivery of 2018 Financial Statements. The Investor shall deliver to the Company, (i) a balance sheet and income statement of the Purchased Company as of and for the period ended December 31, 2018, within thirty (30) Business Days following the Closing; provided that such balance sheet and income statement is a legal entity report and unaudited in all respects and (ii) tax returns of the Purchased Company for the years 2017 and 2018 (redacted to remove any information not relating to the Purchased Company) with the 2017 return being delivered within 10 Business Days and the 2018 tax return being delivered within 10 Business Days after the date that the Investor files its own tax returns”. Company understands and agrees that unaudited balance sheet and income statement information was prepared solely for the limited informational purposes of this Agreement and that the operation of the Purchased Company was not conducted on a stand-alone basis as a separate entity during the periods indicated in such balance sheet and income statement and therefore the reporting is on a legal entity basis and not presented as a separate carved-out business.
 
9.          INDEMNIFICATION.
 
9.1              Effectiveness; Survival.
 
(a)          The Investor, the Parent and the Additional Investors (as applicable) have the right to fully rely upon all representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, the Company Subsidiary and the Acquirer contained in or made pursuant to Section 2 of the Agreement and in the schedules attached hereto (except that the Parent may only rely on the representations set forth in Sections 2.1 (Organization), 2.2 (Capitalization), 2.3 (Authorization) and 2.4 (Valid Issuance of Shares)). The Company has the right to fully rely upon all representations, warranties and covenants of the Seller and the Purchased Company contained in or made pursuant to Section 4 of the Agreement and in the schedules attached hereto (each of the Company (with respect to representation and warranties of the Company, Company Subsidiary and the Acquirer) and the Seller (with respect to representations and warranties of the Seller and the Purchased Company) is referred to herein, severally and not jointly, as an “Indemnitor”). Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the representations and warranties of the Company, the Company Subsidiary, the Acquirer, the Seller and the Purchased Company, as applicable, contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall in no way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of any Investor, any Additional Investor, the Parent or the Company.
38

 
(b)             The representations and warranties of the Company, the Company Subsidiary, the Acquirer, the Purchased Company and the Seller, as applicable, contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing or any Deferred Closing, as applicable, until the earlier of:
 
(i)          immediately prior to the consummation of a Deemed Liquidation or an IPO (as such terms are defined in the Restated Articles), or
 
(ii)          (1) in the case of Sections 2.12 and 4.10 (Intellectual Property) and 2.15 and 4.13 (Tax Matters), until the third anniversary of the Closing Date; (2) in the case of Sections 2.1 and 4.1 (Organization), 2.2 and 4.3 (Capitalization), 2.3 and 4.4 (Authorization), 2.4 (Valid Issuance of Shares), 4.2 (Title to Purchase Company Shares), 2.5 and 4.5 (No Conflict; Consents), 2.10 (Title to Transferred Assets) and 4.9 (Title To Purchased Company Transferred Assets; No Liabilities) (the representations and warranties referred to in this clause (2), collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”), until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation period; and (3) other than as set forth in clause (1) and (2) above, the second anniversary of the Closing Date; in each case, with respect to any theretofore un-asserted claims as set forth in clause (c) below;
 
provided, however, that no limitation shall apply to any breach of any representation or warranty which constitutes fraud or willful misrepresentation by the Company, the Company Subsidiary, the Acquirer, the Seller or the Purchased Company (collectively, “Fraud”). The applicable survival period shall be referred to, as applicable, as the “Claims Period”.
 
(c)          Except for Fraud, the Company and the Seller shall not have any liability with respect to any breach of representation and warranty, unless a claim is made hereunder prior to the expiration of the Claims Period for such representation and warranty, in which case such representation and warranty shall survive as to that claim until the claim has been finally resolved.
 
(d)          It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Claims Periods supersede any statute of limitations applicable to the representations and warranties, and this Section 9.1 constitutes a separate written legally binding agreement among the parties hereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 19 of the Israeli Limitation Law, 1958.
 
9.2              Indemnification.
 
(a)          Indemnifiable Losses. Seller shall indemnify the Company (including its shareholders, directors and officers) (each, a “Company Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Company Indemnitee harmless from, all claims, actions, suits, settlements, damages, expenses (including reasonable legal costs and expenses), losses or costs (collectively, “Losses”) sustained or incurred by such Company Indemnitees resulting from, or arising out of, a breach or misrepresentations of any of the Seller or the Purchased Company’s representations, warranties or covenants made in this Agreement, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9; and the Company shall indemnify each of the Parent (only with respect the representations set forth in Sections 2.1 (Organization), 2.2 (Capitalization), 2.3 (Authorization) and 2.4 (Valid Issuance of Shares)) and the Investor (including their shareholders, directors and officers) (each, an “Investor Indemnitee”, and, together with the Company Indemnitees, each an “Indemnitee”)) against, and hold each Investor Indemnity harmless from, all Losses sustained or incurred resulting from, or arising out of, a breach or misrepresentation of any of the Company, the Company Subsidiary or the Acquirer's representations, warranties or covenants made in this Agreement  (except that with respect to the Parent, such indemnification obligation shall relate only to the representations set forth in Sections 2.1 (Organization), 2.2 (Capitalization), 2.3 (Authorization) and 2.4 (Valid Issuance of Shares)), subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9. In addition, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9(b)(ii), the Seller shall indemnify each Company Indemnitee against all Losses incurred by it and resulting from or arising out of the operation of the Purchased Company Business due to any event that shall have occurred prior or in connection with the Closing that is not related to the Purchased Company Transferred Assets (the "Pre Closing Indemnification Obligation").
39

 
(b)          Limitations. The right for indemnification hereunder is subject to the following conditions and limitations, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but not to any other limitation or condition contained herein; provided, however, that no such limitation shall apply to Fraud or with respect to Pre Closing Indemnification Obligation (other than as set forth in Section 9.2(b)(ii):
 
(i)          Other than in respect of the Fundamental Representations, no Indemnitor shall be liable for any Loss, unless and until the aggregate Losses exceed US$50,000, in which case indemnification shall be made from the first dollar amount;
 
(ii)          The aggregate indemnification liability of (A) the Company with respect to the Investor Indemnitee shall be limited to US$[***]; (B) the Seller (other than with respect to Pre Closing Indemnification Obligations) with respect to the Company Indemnitee shall be limited to US$[***]; and (C) Seller with respect to the Company Indemnitee with respect to the Pre Closing Indemnification Obligations shall be limited to US $[***]; each such Investor Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive a pro rata share of such indemnifiable Loss, based on the respective portion of such Investor’s Indemnity out of the aggregate amount invested by all Investor Indemnitees in the Company as of the Closing and/or the Deferred Closing, as applicable. The Company may satisfy its indemnification obligations hereunder either by payment of cash and/or by issuance of Ordinary Shares in such number that when multiplied by the PPS (subject to appropriate adjustments in the event of any dividend, shares split, combination or similar recapitalization affecting such shares) will be equal to the indemnifiable Loss, in each case in the Company's discretion.
 
(c)          Claims Notice; Third Party Claims. In the event that an Indemnitee wishes to assert a claim for indemnification hereunder it shall give the applicable Indemnitor a prompt written notice thereof (a “Claims Notice”), which shall describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances (to the extent then reasonably available) upon which the asserted claim for indemnification is based and thereafter keep such Indemnitor informed, in all material respects, with respect thereto. In the event that such Claims Notice results from a third party claim against such Indemnitee, then such Indemnitee shall, promptly upon becoming aware of the commencement of proceedings by such third party, provide the Indemnitor with the Claims Notice and the Indemnitor shall have the right to assume the defense thereof (at Indemnitor’s expense) with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that the Indemnitees shall have the right to retain their own counsel, at the reasonable expense of the Indemnitor, and within the indemnification limitations herein, if representation of all parties by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the parties in such proceeding. Failure of the Indemnitees to give the Indemnitor prompt notice or to keep it informed, as provided herein, shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnitor shall not be liable nor shall it be required to indemnify or hold harmless the Indemnitee in connection with any settlement effected without its consent in writing, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
 
(d)          Sole Remedy. The indemnification provided by the applicable Indemnitors hereunder and the enforcement of such indemnification shall be the exclusive remedy available to the Indemnitees under this Agreement, other than for Fraud; provided that this provision does not limit the right to seek specific performance, a restraining order or injunctive relief with respect to any provision of this Agreement.
40

(c)          by either the Company, the Parent or Investor, if a governmental authority shall have issued any order, injunction or other decree or taken any other action, in each case, which has become final and non-appealable and which restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the transactions contemplated hereby, or there shall be any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued by any governmental authority which is applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby and makes the consummation thereof illegal.
 
The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 (other than pursuant to 10.1) shall give written notice of such termination to the other parties, setting forth a brief description of the basis on which such party is terminating this Agreement.
 
10.2          Effect of Termination.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any party or any of its or their affiliates to any other person by virtue of, arising out of or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that: (a) neither party hereto shall be relieved of any obligation or liability arising from any prior breach by such party of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; and (b) the parties shall, in all events, remain bound by and continue to be subject to the provisions set forth in  Section 8.6 (Confidentiality),8.7 (Public Disclosure) and 11 (Miscellaneous).
