2.1.4 Any other Liability and/or litigation expenses (including legal fees), which, according to applicable law and the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association, each as shall be in effect from time to time, the Company could indemnify an Office Holder for.

2.2. The aggregate indemnification amount payable by the Company pursuant to Section 2.1.1 above (beyond, and in addition to, sums payable to you from insurance companies in connection with insurance policies that the Company has purchased), shall not exceed, in the aggregate pursuant to all the letters of indemnification that were issued by the Company to its Office Holders, an amount equal to the higher of (i) fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s net equity at the time of indemnification, as reflected on its most recent financial statements at such time, or (ii) the Company’s annual revenue in the year prior to the time of indemnification, (the “The Maximum Indemnification Amount”).

2.3.

2.6 As part of the Company's undertakings in accordance with this Undertaking, the Company shall also produce any collateral, security, bond or other guarantee that you shall be required to produce as a result of any interim legal procedure (as long as the Company shall not be required to produce any collateral security or other guarantee in the event of a criminal procedure involving the proof of criminal thought) (the "Securities"), including any Securities that shall be required for the substitution of any encumbrances on any of your assets, provided, that the total amount of outstanding Securities, provided to you or to any other Office Holders of the Company, including seized Securities, together with the total monies received by you and other Office Holders in accordance with this Undertaking and similar undertakings provided by the Company, shall not exceed the Maximum Indemnification Amount.

3.1. You shall notify the Company in writing of every legal proceeding that is brought against you in connection with any event that may entitle you to indemnification, and of every warning made to you in writing pertaining to legal proceedings that may be commenced against you.

The Company shall not be required to pay, according to this Undertaking, monies that were actually paid to you, or on your behalf or in your stead, through an insurance policy that the Company procured or through an obligation to any indemnification that was made by any other person other than the Company. For avoidance of doubt, it shall be clarified that the indemnification amount according to this Undertaking shall be independent of, and in addition to, the amount that shall be paid (if paid) pursuant to an insurance policy and/or any other indemnification.

3.7. Upon your request for an execution of a payment in connection to any event according to this Undertaking, the Company shall take all steps according to applicable law to pay such payment and will do all that is required to obtain any approval that is required.

If any amount due to you pursuant to this Undertaking is not paid to you, fully and timely (and in no event later than thirty (30) days of your request), by the Company, you may, at any time thereafter, bring an action against the Company to recover the unpaid amount and you shall also be entitled to be paid for (and/or advanced) the reasonable litigation expenses (including legal fees) of bringing such action.
