Whereas:    The Articles of Association of ______________ (“the Company”) allow the Company to indemnify office holders (nosei misra) of the Company;
 
And
 
Whereas    On _______ the Company's Board of Directors resolved, after having received approval of the Company’s Audit Committee,  to approve the provision in advance of indemnification for the office holders of the Company and/or of the Other Company (as such term is defined below) in accordance with the terms of indemnification stipulated in this letter, and insofar as  the Company granted you a letter of indemnification prior to the date of grant of this letter of indemnification, then your signature on this letter of indemnification will cancel the previous letter of indemnification, and the provisions of this letter of indemnification will enter into force;
 
And
 
Whereas:    On _______ the Company’s General Meeting also approved such resolution;
 
And
 
Whereas:    You serve and/or are employed as an office holder of the Company and/or of the Other Company;
 
We hereby inform you as follows:
 
1.
The Company hereby undertakes, subject to the provisions of the law and of the Company’s Articles of Association, as follows:
 

1.1.
In your capacity as an office holder of the Company, the Company hereby undertakes to indemnify you in advance for any liability and/or expense, as detailed below, that will be imposed on you or that you expend due to actions you took (including prior to the date of this letter of indemnification), or that you will take, in your capacity as an employee or office holder of the Company or in your capacity as an employee or office holder, at the Company's request, of another corporation in which the Company holds shares or other rights, directly or indirectly, or in which the Company has an interest (the “Other Company”), as follows:
 


1.1.1
A financial liability imposed on you in favor of another person by court ruling, including a ruling issued as a compromise or arbitration ruling certified by the court, subject to the said financial liability being connected, directly or indirectly, to one or more of the categories of events, or any of them or anything related to them, that are stipulated in the addendum to this letter of indemnification, which is an integral part thereof, (the “Addendum”), provided that the maximum amount of indemnification does not exceed the amount stated in Section 1.2 below, which was set by the Company's Board of Directors, since it is reasonable under the circumstances;
 

1.1.2
Reasonable legal expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in respect of an investigation or proceedings conducted against you by an authority duly authorized to conduct an investigation or proceeding, and which terminated without an indictment being served against you and without a financial sanction having been imposed upon you in place of criminal proceeding, or that terminated without an indictment being served against you but with a financial sanction in place of criminal proceedings for an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent, or in connection with a financial sanction.

In this paragraph - “Termination of proceedings without an indictment in the case for which a criminal investigation had been opened” and “a financial sanction in place of criminal proceedings” are used in accordance with their respective meanings in Section 260(A)(1a) of the Companies Law as amended from time to time.
 

1.1.3
Reasonable legal expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred or charged by a court, in proceedings filed against you by the Company or by the Other Company, or in its name or by another person, or in a criminal indictment of which you are acquitted, or in a criminal indictment in which you are convicted of an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent.
 

1.1.4
Expenses, including reasonable legal expenses, including attorneys’ fees, expended in respect of proceedings in your case in accordance with Chapter H3, H4, I1 of the Securities Law, 1968 (the “Securities Law”) and proceedings under Section 4 of Chapter Four of the Ninth Part of the Company’s Law, 1999 (the “Companies Law”) and any similar administrative proceeding that can be indemnified according to law (“Administrative Proceeding”).
 


1.1.5
Payment to a victim of breach as stated in Section 52(54)(A)(1)(A) of the Securities Law.
 

1.1.6
Liability or other expense permitted in law, including on account of an amendment and/or extension and/or modification of any of the sections detailed above in accordance with the provisions of the law.
 
In this section, “another person” - includes the case of a claim filed against an office holder by way of a derivative claim.
 

1.2
The amount of indemnification in respect of Section 1.1.1 above, together with the amounts of indemnification for the cause of action that is the subject of Section 1.1.1 above according to the other letters of indemnification granted or that will be granted in this matter to office holders of the Company and employees of the Company serving, or who will serve, at the Company’s request as office holders in Other Companies (“Letter of Indemnification Holders”) (in addition to amounts received from the insurance company, if they are received, in the framework of insurance purchased by the Company) for each office holder of the Company, cumulatively, for one or more of the types of events detailed in the Addendum, will not exceed the cumulative amount  equal to 25% of the Company’s  shareholders’ equity according to the financial statements known before the actual payment of indemnification (the “Maximum Indemnification Amount”).
 
It is hereby stipulated that payment of the said indemnification amount will not derogate from any right to receipt of insurance proceeds for the types of events detailed in the Addendum, insured by an insurance company, that the Company will receive on your behalf from time to time, if received, in the framework of any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy of the Company.
 
For the avoidance of doubt it is stipulated that the Maximum Indemnification Amount under this letter will apply beyond the amount paid (if and to the extent paid) as part of the insurance and/or indemnification of each individual and other body that are not the Company. However, the Company’s undertaking to indemnify will not apply to an event for which the insurer acknowledges responsibility under the insurance policy and pays the office holder the required amount, such that you would be paid double compensation for the liability or expense that is indemnifiable as stated above and in the event that you receive indemnification from the Company's insurer under the directors’ and officers’ liability policy, or under any other indemnification agreement, for the matter that is the subject of indemnification, indemnification will be provided at the level of the difference between the amount of the financial liability imposed on you and expenses, and the amount received under the insurance policy or other indemnification agreement for the same case, on condition that the amount of indemnity that the Company committed to does not exceed the Maximum Indemnification Amount.
 


1.3
If and to the extent the total amount of the indemnity that at any time the Company is required to pay for a cause that is the subject of Section 1.1.1, in addition to the total amount of all the indemnity amounts the Company has paid up to that date under letters of indemnification for the cause that is the subject of Section 1.1.1 above, will exceed the Maximum Indemnification Amount or the balance of the Maximum Indemnification Amount, as applicable, such amount will be divided between the office holders who were entitled to indemnification, such that the indemnification amount that each said office holder will receive will be calculated based on the pro-rata ratio between the indemnification amount to which an office holder is entitled and the indemnification amount that each said office holder will be entitled to cumulatively at that date, for these demands. For clarification, to the extent there is a difference between the Maximum Indemnification Amount set for each holder of a letter of undertaking for indemnification by the Company, on account of their holding letters of undertaking for indemnification having different wording, each of the office holders entitled to indemnification will be entitled to indemnification in accordance and subject to the Maximum Indemnification Amount stipulated in the letter of indemnification granted him, and it will not be deemed as is stated in Section 1.2 above, and in this Section 1.3, to be adding to the terms of the other letters of indemnification that the Company granted directors and officers in the past.
 
If the Company has paid indemnity amounts to an office holder of the Company at the level of the Maximum Indemnification Amount, the Company will not bear additional indemnity amounts unless payment of additional indemnity amounts will be approved by the Company’s organs that are authorized to approve this increase according to law, at the date of payment of the additional indemnity amounts and subject to changing the Company’s Articles of Association, if so required, according to law.
 


1.4
Interim payments
 
If an event occurs for which you are likely to be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the above, the Company will make available to you, from time to time, the required monies to cover the expenses and other various payments involved in these legal proceedings and/or Administrative Proceedings, including investigations, mediation and arbitration , such that you will not be required to pay or finance them yourself, all subject to the terms and provisions of this letter of indemnification.
 
In the event that the Company pays you, or in place of you, any amounts in the framework of this letter of indemnification in respect of the legal proceedings and/or Administrative Proceedings against you as aforesaid, and thereafter it becomes evident that you are not entitled to indemnification from the Company for those amounts, or if amounts for these expenses are received from the insurance company, then the provisions of Section 1.8 below will apply.
 

1.5.
Terms of Indemnification
 
Without derogating from the aforesaid, the undertaking to indemnify under this letter is subject to the provisions of this section:
 

1.5.1
Notice of Indemnification: You will inform the Company of any legal proceedings, including mediation or an investigation by an authority authorized to  conduct an investigation or proceeding that is opened against you, in connection with any event for which indemnification is likely to apply (the “Proceeding”), and of any threat or warning of which you will be informed in writing that a proceeding will be opened against you, promptly after having been first made aware of the matter, and you will transfer to the Company, or to whom it will inform you, any document that will be sent to you in connection with this proceeding.
 


1.5.2
Handling the defense:
 

a.
The Company will be entitled to take upon itself, by notice that will be sent to you,  the handling of your defense against these Proceedings or to give over the said handling to any attorney that the Company will appoint for this purpose (except for an attorney who will be unacceptable to you for reasonable reasons including conflict of interests, and in such a case the attorney for the case will be determined by the office holder subject to the Company's agreement, which is obliged to be provided in writing in advance to identify the attorney and the terms of his fees). The Company and/or the attorney will be entitled to act exclusively as part of the aforementioned handling, and will be entitled to bring the Proceedings to a close, as they shall deem correct, and will send you ongoing reports on progress of the Proceedings and will be in contact with you concerning its handling; the attorney appointed will act and will have a duty of trust to the Company and to you. Where a conflict of interests will be created between you and the Company in your defense in those Proceedings, the attorney will inform you of such and you will be entitled to take your own attorney within the constraints enumerated in sub-section 1.5.2 below, and the provisions of this letter of indemnification will apply to the expenses you will incur for the said appointment.
 

b.
The Company will not be entitled to terminate the said Proceedings by way of a compromise and/or settlement (within the meaning of the term in Section 54A of the Securities Law, as amended from time to time) (the “Settlement”), in  a manner in   which, as a result, you will be required to pay amounts that will not be indemnified under this letter of indemnification and that will also not be paid as part of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy purchased and/or that will be purchased by the Company, except with your prior, written agreement to the compromise and/or Settlement that will be reached. Similarly, the Company will not be entitled to bring the dispute that is the subject of the above Proceedings to a decision by way of mediation or arbitration except with your prior, written agreement, on condition that you do not refuse to grant your agreement except on reasonable grounds that will be informed to the Company in writing. For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby stipulated that even if the dispute in the Proceedings will be transferred to mediation or arbitration or a Settlement or in any other way, the Company will be responsible for the related expenses as part of the expenses of this letter of indemnification and subject to the provisions of the law.
 


c.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be entitled to terminate the above Proceedings by way of a compromise and/or Settlement and/or to bring the dispute that is the subject of the above Proceedings to a decision through mediation or conciliation or arbitration in the event of criminal indictments against you, unless you provide your prior, written agreement. You can refuse to give your agreement stated in this sub-section at your sole discretion without being required to provide reasons for your non-agreement.
 

d.
At the Company's request you will sign any document that will authorize any said attorney to handle your defense in your name in those Proceedings and to represent you in all related matters, in accordance with the foregoing. After the Company will have informed you that it intends to manage the defense on its own, as stated, the Company will not be liable to you under this letter of indemnification for any legal expenses, including attorneys’ fees expended by you for the defense thereafter.
 

e.
If the Company will not inform you within 14 days from the date of receipt of the indemnification notice as stated above that it will assume responsibility for your defense in the said Proceedings, or if you object to being represented by the Company’s attorneys on reasonable grounds or out of concern for a conflict of interests, you will be entitled to appoint your own attorney (the “Other Attorney”), subject to the fees to be paid to the Other Attorney requiring prior authorization by the Company. If the Company does not approve the entire amount of fees requested, and the office holder decides not to dispense with the services of the Other Attorney, the office holder will be entitled, if he so wishes, to receive from the Company the amount of fees approved, and the balance can be paid by the office holder on his own..
 

f.
It should be noted that if the Company and/or the office holder will likely be entitled to indemnification as part of the officers’ insurance, in respect of the Proceedings, and an attorney will be appointed as stated above, taking into account the insurer’s right to determine the identity of the attorney who will represent the office holder in the Proceedings, and the obligations of the Company in this matter under the above insurance, especially if according to the terms of the insurance the insurer is entitled to determine the identity of the attorney who will represent the lawyer in the Proceedings, such that otherwise the insurer will have to be released from its obligation to indemnification or to reduce it. In any event, the Company will make its best efforts, as part of the terms of the insurance and subject to them, to influence the choice of attorney in accordance with the office holder’s wishes.
 


1.5.3
Cooperation with the Company:
 
You will cooperate with the Company and/or with the attorney stated above and will fulfill all the instructions of the insurers under the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that the Company contracted for in connection with defense in the Proceedings; in any reasonable manner that will be required of you by one of them as part of their handling of the Proceedings, on condition that the Company will ensure cover for all your expenses involved in this such that you will not be required to pay them or finance them yourself, subject to what is stated in this letter of indemnification.
 

1.5.4
Coverage of Liabilities:
 
Whether the Company acts according to what is stated in Section 1.5.2 above or not, it will ensure cover for all the said expenses and liabilities, insofar as it is obliged to indemnify you in respect of them, such that you will not be required to pay for or finance them yourself, in accordance with the terms of this letter of indemnification. It is hereby stipulated that nothing in the foregoing will derogate from the Company’s right in the first instance to direct the case to the insurance company for coverage.
 

1.5.5
Non-application of indemnification in cases of compromise, arbitration, admission and Settlement:
 
Your indemnification in respect of any Proceedings against you, as stated in this letter, will not apply to any amount that comes from you following compromise or arbitration or a Settlement, unless the Company agrees in writing to that compromise or to fulfill this arbitration or to enter into this Settlement, as applicable. The Company will not refuse this compromise or arbitration or to enter into this Settlement, as applicable, on grounds that are unreasonable.
 

Similarly, the indemnification will not apply in the event of your admission to a criminal indictment for an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent unless your admission received the prior, written agreement of the Company.
 
Without derogating from the provisions of Section 1.5.3 above, the Company will be entitled, in its discretion, but not obliged, to indemnify the office holder under this letter of indemnification for amounts paid in settling any other demand, claim or proceedings that was arrived at without the Company’s written agreement.
 

1.5.6
Non-applicability of indemnification in cases of indemnification or insurance from a third party:
 
The Company will not be required to pay under this letter of indemnification monies actually paid to you, or on your behalf or instead of you, in any manner as part of insurance (that the Company purchased) or any undertaking of indemnification of anyone else apart from the Company. The provisions of this section will not apply to the deductible that applies under the terms of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy. In respect of the Company’s obligation for indemnification for an action you took or will take in your capacity as an office holder and/or employee of an Other Company, the following provisions shall apply:
 
If your demand to receive indemnification and/or insurance cover for an action you took in the capacity of your position in the Other Company and it is likely to be indemnifiable under this letter of indemnification, will be rejected by the Other Company or the insurance company of the Other Company, as applicable, the Company will pay you under this letter of indemnification the amounts to which you will be entitled under this letter of indemnification, if you are entitled to these amounts and you assign to the Company your rights to receive amounts from the Other Company and/or under the insurance policy of the Other Company and you will authorize the Company to collect these amounts in your name if such authorization will be required to fulfill the provisions of this section. In this regard you undertake to sign any document that will be required by the Company to assign your said rights and the Company’s agreement to collect the said amounts in your name.
 

For the avoidance of doubt it is stipulated that nothing in this letter of indemnification will grant another company and/or any other third party any rights against the Company, including, without derogating from the generality of the foregoing, the right to claim and/or demand any payment from the Company as participation in the indemnification and/or insurance coverage given to you by the Other Company for an action you carried out by virtue of your position in the Other Company.
 

1.5.7
If you request to make any payment in respect of any event under this letter, the Company will take all the actions required by law to pay it, and will act to arrange every approval required in this regard, if required, including authorization of the court, if required.
 

1.6.
