From and after the Effective Time, all issued and outstanding Company Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate or Uncertificated Share theretofore representing any Company Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable therefor upon the surrender or acknowledgment of the conversion thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8.

From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Company of Company Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, for any reason (a) Certificates are presented to the Surviving Company, or (b) acknowledgments are delivered to the Exchange Fund Agent of the conversion of any Uncertificated Shares, such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares, as the case may be, shall be cancelled and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration, in each case as provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article II.

2.10     Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Fund Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7, except that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Fund Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.11     Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares of Parent Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Uncertificated Shares for which the applicable acknowledgment has not been delivered to the Exchange Fund Agent with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock that the holder thereof is entitled to receive upon the surrender or acknowledgment of the conversion thereof, as applicable, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(i), in each case until the holder of such Certificate shall have surrendered such Certificate or the holder of such Uncertificated Shares shall have delivered such acknowledgment of the conversion of such Uncertificated Shares, in each case in accordance with this Article II. Following the surrender of any Certificate or acknowledgment of the conversion of any Uncertificated Shares, there shall be paid to the holder of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II (a) at the time of such surrender or acknowledgment, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock and the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(i) and (b) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender or acknowledgment and a payment date subsequent to such surrender or acknowledgment payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock.

If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Company with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, the directors and officers of the Surviving Company shall take all such lawful and necessary action on behalf of the Company and Merger Sub.

2.13     Withholding Tax.

(a)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, Parent, its Subsidiaries, the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Surviving Company, the 102 Trustee and the Exchange Fund Agent (each a “Payor”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment or consideration made pursuant to this Agreement (including the Merger Consideration and payments made pursuant to Section 6.13) such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, the Ordinance, or under any provision of applicable U.S. federal, state, local, Israeli, or other Tax Law (it being agreed that the Payor shall be permitted to satisfy any Tax withholding requirement with respect to the Merger Consideration by deducting and withholding the appropriate cash amount from the Cash Merger Consideration). With respect to withholding of Israeli Tax, in the event any holder of record of Company Shares or Company Options provides the Payor with a Valid Tax Certificate issued by the Israeli Tax Authority (the “ITA”) regarding the withholding (or exemption from withholding) of Israeli Tax from the consideration payable in respect thereof in accordance with this Article II, or other treatment with respect to Israeli Tax, at least five (5) Business Days prior to any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement, then the deduction and withholding of any amounts under the Ordinance or any other provision of Israeli Law or requirement, if any, from the Merger Consideration, including any Merger Consideration payable with respect to Company Compensatory Awards, as applicable, payable to such holder of record of Company Shares or Company Compensatory Awards, as applicable, shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Tax Certificate. To the extent that amounts are so withheld pursuant to this Section 2.13, they shall be paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity prior to the last day on which such payment is required to be paid to such Governmental Entity, and such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(b)     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.13(a) above, with respect to Israeli Taxes, the consideration payable to each Company Shareholder shall be retained by the Exchange Fund Agent for the benefit of each such Company Shareholder for a period of up to one hundred eighty (180) days from Closing (the “Withholding Drop Date”) (during which time no Payor shall make any payments to any Company Shareholder or withhold any amounts for Israeli Taxes from the payments deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, except as provided below and during which time each Company Shareholder may obtain a Valid Tax Certificate). If a Company Shareholder delivers, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date a Valid Tax Certificate to Payor, then the deduction and withholding of any Israeli Taxes shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Tax Certificate and the balance of the payment that is not withheld shall be paid to such Company Shareholder concurrently therewith subject to any non-Israeli withholding which is applicable to the payment (if any). If any Company Shareholder (i) does not provide Payor with a Valid Tax Certificate by no later than five (5) Business Days before the Withholding Drop Date or (ii) submits a written request with Payor to release its portion of the consideration prior to the Withholding Drop Date and fails to submit a Valid Tax Certificate at or before such time, then the amount to be withheld from such Company Shareholder’s portion of the consideration shall be calculated according to the applicable withholding rate as determined by Parent in its sole discretion in accordance with Applicable Law (increased by interest plus linkage differences, as defined in Section 159A(a) of the Ordinance, for the period between the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month following the month during which the Closing occurs and the time that the relevant payment is made, and calculated in NIS based on a US$:NIS exchange rate not lower than the effective exchange rate at the Closing Date as determined by Parent and the Exchange Fund Agent).

(c)     With respect to non-Israeli resident holders of Company Compensatory Awards or Company Shares who are or were engaged by any non-Israeli Subsidiary of the Company and were granted such securities as awards in consideration solely for work or services performed outside of Israel, if such holders provide a validly executed declaration in a form previously agreed by Parent and the Company regarding their non-Israeli residence and confirmation that they were granted such awards in consideration solely for work or services performed outside of Israel, such payments shall not be subject to any withholding or deduction of Israeli Tax and shall be made through the relevant Subsidiary’s payroll processing service or system.

The Company shall promptly (and in any event within three Business Days following the date of this Agreement) request in writing that each Third Party that has previously executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of acquiring the Company in the one year period prior to the date of this Agreement return or destroy all confidential information previously furnished to such Third Party by or on behalf of the Company.

(b)     At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Effective Time, the Company shall not (and it shall not authorize or permit any of its Representatives to), directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage, facilitate or induce the making, submission or announcement of an Acquisition Proposal or the making of any inquiry, offer or proposal that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal; (ii) in connection with or in response to any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, offer or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, furnish to any Third Party any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Third Party, or take any other action intended to assist or facilitate the making of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, offer or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal (for the avoidance of doubt, neither (A) the announcement of the execution of this Agreement nor (B) the provision of information to Third Parties pursuant to communications in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice that are unrelated to any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not such communications are covered by any contractual or other arrangements), shall in either case be deemed to constitute “encouragement”, “facilitation” or “inducement”); (iii) participate or engage in negotiations regarding an Acquisition Proposal or knowingly engage in discussions with any Third Party that is seeking to make or has made an Acquisition Proposal; (iv) approve, endorse or recommend an Acquisition Proposal; (v) execute or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or Contract contemplating or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Transaction; or (vi) except to the extent that the Company Board determines that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, terminate, amend, modify, waive or fail to enforce any rights under any “standstill” or other similar agreement between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any Third Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to obtaining the Requisite Shareholder Approval, the Company Board may, directly or indirectly through any Representative, subject to the Company’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.1, with respect to any Third Party that has made (and not withdrawn) a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a material breach of this Section 6.1 (but only if the Company Board concludes in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and its outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal) (A) engage or participate in discussions or negotiations with such Third Party or (B) furnish to such Third Party any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement the terms of which, except with respect to any “standstill” or similar provision, are no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (except that such confidentiality agreement need not contain any explicit or implicit standstill provision) and containing additional provisions that expressly permit the Company to comply with the terms of this Section 6.1. The Company Board may take the actions contemplated by clauses (A) and (B) of the prior sentence only if (1) at least 24 hours prior to engaging or participating in any such discussions or negotiations with, or furnishing any non-public information to, such Third Party, the Company gives Parent written notice of the identity of such Person and all of the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal (and if such Acquisition Proposal is in written form, the Company shall give Parent a copy thereof) and of the Company’s intention to engage or participate in discussions or negotiations with, or furnish non-public information to, such Third Party; and (2) contemporaneously with furnishing any non-public information to such Person, the Company furnishes such non-public information to Parent (to the extent that such information has not been previously furnished by the Company to Parent).

The Company shall not enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or Contract (other than a confidentiality agreement as permitted by Section 6.1(b)) contemplating or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal unless and until this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VIII, and the Company has paid all amounts due to Parent pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.3, if any.

(d)     In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 6.1(b), the Company shall promptly, and in all cases within 36 hours of its receipt, advise Parent orally and in writing of any (i) Acquisition Proposal; (ii) request for information that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) inquiry with respect to, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, and the identity of the Person or group making any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry.

(e)     The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed of the status of discussions relating to, and material terms and conditions (including all amendments or proposed amendments to such material terms and conditions) of any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, and promptly (and in no event later than 36 hours thereafter) upon receipt or delivery of any of the following provide Parent with copies of all documents and written (including electronic) communications relating to any Acquisition Proposal (including the financing thereof), request or inquiry exchanged between the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry (or such Person’s Affiliates or Representatives), on the other hand. In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall provide Parent with at least 72 hours (or such shorter period of notice as is given to each of the members of the Company Board or committee thereof, as applicable) prior written notice of a meeting of the Company Board (or any committee thereof) at which the Company Board (or any committee thereof) is reasonably expected to consider an Acquisition Proposal, an inquiry relating to a potential Acquisition Proposal, or a request to provide non-public information to any Person.

The Company shall ensure that any Company Board Recommendation Change (including one effected in respect of a Superior Proposal or Intervening Event) does not: (x) change or otherwise affect the approval of this Agreement by the Company Board; or (y) have the effect of causing any Takeover Law to be applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby.

(d)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Shareholder Approval, the Company Board may in response to an Intervening Event effect a Company Board Recommendation Change if, and only if (i) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and after considering in good faith any counter-offer or proposal made by Parent pursuant to clause (iii) below), that, in light of such Intervening Event, failure to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the members of the Company Board under Israeli Law; (ii) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company Board shall have given Parent at least four Business Days’ notice (the “Intervening Event Notice Period”) thereof (which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the Intervening Event and the reasons for such proposed Company Board Recommendation Change) and the Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, during the Intervening Event Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, if Parent, in its discretion, proposes to make such modifications; and (iii) after taking into account any counter-offer or proposal Parent shall have made, if any, within the Intervening Event Notice Period, the Company Board again makes the determination set forth in clause (i) of this Section 6.2(d).

(e)     Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to shareholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act, (ii) taking and disclosing to the shareholders of the Company a position contemplated by Section 329 of the ICL or (iii) making any other disclosure to its shareholders if the Company Board has determined in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary or other duties of the members of the Company Board under Israeli Law or as otherwise may be required pursuant to Applicable Law; provided, however, that (A) any statements made by the Company Board pursuant to Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act or other Applicable Law shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (B) it is acknowledged and agreed that any such disclosure, other than a “stop, look and listen” communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act, shall be deemed to be a Company Board Recommendation Change unless the Company Board expressly publicly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such communication).

(f)     Prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, the Company shall not take any action to approve any transaction under, or exempt any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates) from the provisions of, any Takeover Law or otherwise cause such restrictions not to apply.

(a)     Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Party or Parties in doing, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger) and the transactions described in the press release referred to in Section 6.13, including using reasonable best efforts to: (i) cause the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article VII to be satisfied or fulfilled; (ii) obtain all necessary or appropriate consents, waivers and approvals under any Contracts to which the Company, the Parent or any of their Subsidiaries is a party in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) so as to maintain and preserve the benefits under such Contracts following the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger); (iii) obtain all necessary actions or non-actions, waivers, consents, approvals, Orders and authorizations from Governmental Entities, as may be required under any applicable Antitrust Laws or otherwise, including the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods and making all necessary registrations, declarations and filings (including registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Entities, if any); and (iv) execute or deliver any additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement.

(b)     Without limiting the generality of Section 6.7(a), as soon as may be reasonably practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (x) each of Parent and the Company shall file with the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the DOJ a Notification and Report Form relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) as required by the HSR Act, as well as the applicable pre-merger notification filings, forms and submissions with each of the non-U.S. Governmental Entities set forth on Section 6.7(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter and (y) the Company shall submit to the OCS the OCS Notice and Parent shall submit to the OCS the Parent OCS Undertaking. Each of Parent and the Company shall promptly (i) cooperate and coordinate with the other in the making of such filings; (ii) supply the other with any information that may be required in order to effectuate such filings; (iii) supply any additional information (at such time as is reasonably determined by Parent, in consultation with the Company) that reasonably may be required or requested by the FTC, the DOJ or the competition or merger control authorities of any other jurisdiction; and (iv) share equally all fees and expenses (other than attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with filings made in connection with this Section 6.7(b). Each Party shall (A) promptly inform the other Party or Parties, as the case may be, of any communication from any Governmental Entity regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger), (B) to the extent practicable, give the other Party reasonable advance notice of all substantive oral communications with any Governmental Entity regarding the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and (C) with respect to any substantive oral communication, give the other Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in such discussions, and, to the extent a Party does not participate in such discussions, the Party having such discussions shall promptly provide the non-participating Party with a summary of such discussions. If any Party or any of its Affiliates receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any such Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger), then such Party shall use reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable (or as otherwise agreed) and after consultation with the other Party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request.

(c)     Without limiting the generality of Section 6.7(a), in the event that any Takeover Law is or becomes applicable to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger), the Company, at the direction of the Company Board, shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger) may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger).

(d)     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed that: (i) none of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub shall have any obligation to litigate or contest any administrative or judicial action or proceeding or any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent; and (ii) neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall be under any obligation to make proposals, execute or carry out agreements, enter into consent decrees or submit to orders providing for (A) the sale, divestiture or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets or categories of assets of Parent or any of its Affiliates or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (B) the imposition of any license or condition or the commitment to take any action (or to refrain from taking any action) that limits in any manner its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to operate, any of the assets or businesses of Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, except, in the case of clause (B), to the extent such license, condition or commitment does not materially (with materiality determined relative to the size of the business and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and not relative to those of Parent and its Subsidiaries) impact in an adverse manner (x) Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ (including the Surviving Company’s) business or operations, taken as a whole, or (y) the benefits to be derived by Parent and its Subsidiaries from the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger (any of (A) or (B), subject to the foregoing exception with respect thereto, an “Antitrust Restraint”).

(e)     The Company (x) will not, in connection with obtaining regulatory approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, take or agree to take any action identified in clauses (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence without the prior written consent of Parent and (y) if so requested by Parent, will use reasonable best efforts to effect any license, divestiture, disposition or holding separate of any of the Company’s assets or businesses necessary to obtain clearances or approvals required for the Closing under the Antitrust Laws, provided that any such action shall be conditioned on the consummation of the Merger and no such action shall be effective prior to the Closing.

(f)     Neither Parent nor the Company shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, acquire or agree to acquire any business, person or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to such acquisition or the consummation of such acquisition would reasonably be expected to result in (i) the failure to obtain or materially impair or delay the obtaining of the expiration or termination of the waiting period in respect of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any Applicable Law, (ii) the entry, the commencement of litigation seeking the entry, or failure to effect the dissolution, in each case, of any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order that would prevent or materially impair or delay the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (iii) failure to obtain, or materially impair or delay the obtaining of, all waivers, authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of Governmental Entities necessary for the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.8     Access. At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Effective Time, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company shall afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to all of the Company’s properties (not including the right to conduct an environmental site assessment and audit, including any right to conduct environmental sampling or testing, of the properties), offices, books and records, Contracts, Permits, documents and personnel of the Company to enable Parent to obtain all information as may be reasonably requested by Parent concerning the business, including the status of product development efforts, properties, results of operations and personnel of the Company. No information or knowledge obtained by Parent in any investigation conducted pursuant to this Section 6.8 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company set forth herein or the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, or the remedies available to the Parties hereunder. The terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information provided to Parent pursuant to this Section 6.8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required by this Section 6.8 to provide to Parent or its Representatives with access to or to disclose (i) information that is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a Third Party entered into prior to the date of this Agreement (provided, however, that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to make appropriate redactions to any information subject to such a confidentiality agreement to disclose the maximum extent of such information that does not result in a violation of such obligation of confidentiality), (ii) information the disclosure of which would violate any Applicable Law (provided, however, that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure not in violation of any Applicable Law) or (iii) information that is subject to any attorney-client, attorney work product or other legal privilege (provided, however, that in such event, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow for such access or disclosure to the maximum extent that does not result in a loss of any such attorney-client, attorney work product or other legal privilege). Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to minimize any disruption to the business of the Company that may result from the requests for access, data and information hereunder.

6.9     Notification.

No such notification shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company or of Parent or Merger Sub set forth herein or the conditions to the obligations of the Company or of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, or the remedies available to the Parties hereunder. The terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information provided by one Party to the other Parties pursuant to this Section 6.9(a).

No such notification shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company or of Parent and Merger Sub set forth herein or the conditions to the obligations of the Company or of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, or the remedies available to the Parties hereunder.

6.10     Certain Litigation. The Company shall promptly advise Parent, and Parent shall promptly advise the Company, orally or in writing, of any Legal Proceeding commenced after the date of this Agreement against such Party or any of its directors by any stockholder of such Party (on their own behalf or on behalf of such Party) relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) and shall keep the other Party reasonably informed regarding any such Legal Proceeding. Each Party shall give the other Party the opportunity to consult with respect to the defense or settlement of any such stockholder litigation and shall consider the other Party’s views with respect to such stockholder litigation and the Company shall not settle any such stockholder litigation without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except that Parent shall not be obligated to consent to any settlement which does not include a full release of Parent and its Affiliates or which imposes an injunction or other equitable relief after the Effective Time upon Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Company).

6.11     Financing Cooperation.

(a)     Parent shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, keep the Company informed as promptly as practicable in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange any debt financing related to the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (which for purposes of this Section 6.11 shall be deemed to include all the transactions described in the press release referred to in Section 6.13) (the “Debt Financing”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall furnish the Company with copies of any documents and drafts related to the Debt Financing as promptly as practicable following receipt from any Financing Sources.

(vii)     assist Parent with Parent’s preparation of pro forma financial statements and projections solely by providing the Financing Information to be used in preparing such pro formas that are required in connection with any Debt Financing or that would customarily be included in the marketing materials with respect to the Debt Financing (provided that none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives shall be responsible for the preparation of such pro forma financial statements (or any related pro forma adjustments) or such projections);

(viii)     furnish to Parent customary fact back-up reasonably requested by Parent for information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries to be included in the securities offering documents with respect to the Debt Financing;

(ix)     furnish to Parent other documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries reasonably requested by Parent in connection with any Debt Financing that includes an offering of securities in order to allow such Financing Sources to establish a “due-diligence” defense;

(xi)     assist Parent in connection with the preparation and, upon the effectiveness of the Closing, registration of any pledge and security documents, supplemental indentures, currency or interest hedging arrangements and other definitive financing documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent (including the Specified Auditor Assistance), and otherwise reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral and the granting of security interests in respect of the Debt Financing within thirty days after Closing; and

(xii)     deliver customary authorization letters that authorize the distribution of the confidential information memorandum to prospective lenders, which letters shall contain a representation that the public-side version does not include material non-public information about the Company and its Subsidiaries or their securities;

provided, however, that no obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any agreement, certificate, document or instrument executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 6.11 (other than authorization letters, management representation letters or other documents delivered to the Company’s independent registered accounting firm in connection with the Specified Auditor Assistance, in each case, referred to above) shall be effective prior to the Closing.

(c)     The Company hereby consents to the use of its and each of its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to, and is not reasonably expected to, harm or disparage the Company or its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or its Subsidiaries and their respective marks, products, services, offerings or Intellectual Property Rights. Parent shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives in connection with providing the assistance contemplated by this Section 6.11. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses (including attorney’s fees), awards, judgments, penalties and other Liabilities suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the Debt Financing and any information used in connection therewith (other than any information provided in writing by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries expressly for use in connection therewith) or in connection with providing the assistance contemplated by this Section 6.11, except to the extent arising from the willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or intentional misrepresentation of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

(d)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.11, (i) none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives shall be required to take or permit the taking of any action or provide any assistance that would (A) unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) proximately cause any representation or warranty or covenant of the Company in this Agreement to be breached by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (C) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates to pay (or agree to pay) any fees, or reimburse any expenses prior to the Closing for which it is not promptly reimbursed, or otherwise incur any other obligations (other than any obligations under customary authorization letters, management representation letters or other documents delivered to the Company’s independent registered accounting firm in connection with the Specified Auditor Assistance) or give any indemnities prior to the Closing that are not contingent on the Closing, (D) cause any director, officer, employee or shareholder of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to incur any personal Liability, (E) conflict with the organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Applicable Laws, (F) result in the breach of, or default under, any Material Contract or (G) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to prepare separate financial statements for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or change any fiscal period or prepare any financial statements or information that are not available to it and prepared in the ordinary course of its financial reporting practice; and (ii) none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors or officers shall be obligated to adopt resolutions or execute consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Debt Financing; provided, however that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit the adoption or execution of any resolutions or consents effective no earlier than the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Closing) by any Person that will remain or will become an officer or director of the Surviving Company as of the Effective Time. Nothing in this Section 6.11 shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives to disclose any information to Parent, Parent’s Representatives or the Financing Sources if such disclosure would (x) violate any Applicable Law or Contract or (y) jeopardize the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other legal privilege held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries does not provide or cause its Representatives to provide such access or such information in reliance on the immediately preceding sentence, then the Company shall (1) promptly (and in any event within two Business Days) provide a written notice to Parent stating that it is withholding such access or such information and stating the justification therefor and (2) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the applicable access or information in a way that would not violate such Applicable Law or Contract or jeopardize such privilege.

(e)     Parent acknowledges and agrees that, other than reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 6.11(c), none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives shall have any responsibility for, or incur any Liability to, any Person under any Debt Financing that Parent may obtain in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any cooperation provided pursuant to this Section 6.11.

(f)     Notwithstanding any other provision set forth herein or anything to the contrary contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, Parent or any of its Affiliates may disclose Evaluation Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Financing Sources (in each case, without any obligation on the part of the Financing Sources to comply with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement) so long as the Financing Sources are subject to confidentiality undertakings under a binding written confidentiality commitment to Parent that are at least as restrictive as those applicable to the Parent with respect to the Company (except that such confidentiality agreement need not contain any explicit or implicit standstill provision)).

(g)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but without limiting the obligations of the Company hereunder, including this Section 6.11, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that their obligations to consummate the Merger and the other transaction contemplated by this Agreement are not subject to a condition regarding Parent’s or Merger Sub’s or any of their respective Affiliates’ obtaining funds therefor, whether pursuant to the Debt Financing or otherwise.

6.12     Confidentiality. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company acknowledge that Parent and the Company have previously executed a Confidentiality Agreement, dated December 14, 2017 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, except that each of the Parties agree to and hereby do amend the Confidentiality Agreement to delete paragraph 19 thereof and replace it with Section 9.9, and Section 9.10, and Section 9.11 hereof, mutatis mutandis.

6.13     Public Disclosure. Parent and the Company have agreed upon the initial joint press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement, and will issue such press release promptly following the execution of this Agreement. Thereafter, so long as this Agreement is in effect, neither the Company nor Parent, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as may be required by Applicable Law or any listing agreement with a national securities exchange, in which event such Party shall use reasonable best efforts to consult with and to provide a meaningful opportunity to the other Party to review and comment upon such press release or other announcement in advance; provided, however, that neither Party shall be required by this Section 6.13 to provide any such review or comment to the other Party in connection with the Company’s receipt and existence of an Acquisition Proposal, Superior Proposal or in the event of a Company Board Recommendation Change and matters related thereto.

6.14     Company Compensatory Awards.

(a)     Company Restricted Share Units. At the Effective Time, each award of Company Restricted Share Units (or portion thereof) that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time (and does not vest as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) shall be assumed by Parent (each, an “Assumed RSU”) and Parent and the Company shall take such acts and adopt such corporate resolutions as may be required to effect such assumption. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Assumed RSU shall be equal to the product of (i) the number of Company Shares underlying such unvested Company Restricted Share Unit award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming, in the case of an Assumed RSU that is subject to performance-based vesting conditions, that applicable performance goals have been attained at maximum levels) multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio (with the resulting number, rounded to the nearest whole share). Except as otherwise agreed to by Parent and a holder of such Assumed RSUs or as otherwise provided in Section 6.14(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, such Assumed RSUs will be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as applied to the related award of Company Restricted Share Units immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the same service-based vesting schedule (but not the same or any other performance-based vesting conditions) applicable thereto, and the same right to receive any accrued but unpaid dividends in respect thereof (including any such dividends that are accrued but unpaid as of the Effective Time). Any Company Restricted Share Unit (or portion thereof) that is not an Assumed RSU (each, a “Cancelled RSU”) shall, by virtue of the Merger, be cancelled and terminated and converted into the right to receive, without interest, with respect to each Company Share underlying such Cancelled RSU (assuming, in the case of a Cancelled RSU that is subject to performance-based vesting conditions, that applicable performance goals have been attained at maximum levels), the Merger Consideration and any accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to such Cancelled RSU (together, the “Cancelled RSU Amount”). Except as otherwise required under Section 409A, the holder of each Cancelled RSU that is not a Company 102 Restricted Share Unit shall, with respect to each Company Share underlying such Cancelled RSU, receive at the Effective Time from the Company, or as soon as practicable thereafter (but in no event later than the Company’s first full payroll after the Effective Time) from the Surviving Company, an amount equal to the Cancelled RSU Amount. The payment of the Cancelled RSU Amount to the holder of a Cancelled RSU shall be reduced by any applicable tax withholding required under the Code or any Applicable Law. The applicable taxes required to be withheld from the Cancelled RSU Amount payable to the holder of a Cancelled RSU shall reduce first the Cash Merger Consideration portion of such Merger Consideration and any accrued but unpaid dividends payable in respect of the Cancelled RSU as of the Effective Time, with any remaining amount reducing the Stock Merger Consideration portion of such Merger Consideration, with the value of the stock portion for purposes of such deduction determined based on the Parent Average Closing Price. The holder of each Cancelled RSU that is a Company 102 Restricted Share Unit or that is otherwise held by the 102 Trustee shall receive the Cancelled RSU Amount through the 102 Trustee in accordance with Section 2.8.

(b)     Company Restricted Shares. At the Effective Time, each award of Company Restricted Shares (or portion thereof) that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time (and does not vest as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) shall be assumed by Parent (each, an “Assumed RSA”) and Parent and the Company shall take such acts and adopt such corporate resolutions as may be required to effect such assumption. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Assumed RSA shall be equal to the product of (i) the number of unvested Company Restricted Shares underlying such RSA as of immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio (with the resulting number, rounded to the nearest whole share). Except as otherwise agreed to by Parent and a holder of such Assumed RSAs or as otherwise provided in Section 6.14(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, such Assumed RSAs will be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as applied to the related award of Company Restricted Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the same vesting schedule applicable thereto, and the same right to receive any accrued but unpaid dividends in respect thereof (including any such dividends that are accrued but unpaid as of the Effective Time). Any award of Company Restricted Shares that is not an Assumed RSA shall, with respect to each such Company Restricted Share, be treated as a Company Share that shall be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any accrued but unpaid dividends in respect of such Company Restricted Share as of the Effective Time (together, the “Company Restricted Share Amount”). The holder of each such Company Restricted Share shall receive at the Effective Time from the Company, or as soon as practicable thereafter (but in no event later than the Company’s first full payroll after the Effective Time) from the Surviving Company, an amount equal to the Company Restricted Share Amount. The payment of the Company Restricted Share Amount to the holder of a Company Share shall be reduced by any applicable tax withholding required under the Code or any Applicable Law. The applicable taxes required to be withheld from the Company Restricted Share Amount payable to the holder of such Company Restricted Share shall reduce first the Cash Merger Consideration portion of such Company Restricted Share Amount and any accrued but unpaid dividends payable in respect of such Company Restricted Share as of the Effective Time, with any remaining amount reducing the Stock Merger Consideration portion of such Company Restricted Share Amount, with the value of the stock portion for purposes of such deduction determined based on the Parent Average Closing Price. The holder of each Company 102 Restricted Share or Company Restricted Share that is otherwise held by the 102 Trustee that is not an Assumed RSA shall receive the Company Restricted Share Amount through the 102 Trustee in accordance with Section 2.8.

(c)     Company Options.

(i)     At the Effective Time, each Company Option (or portion thereof) that is outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (or vests as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) (each, a “Cancelled Option”) shall, by virtue of the Merger, be cancelled and terminated and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each Net Share covered by such Cancelled Option; except that, in lieu of the Merger Consideration, any fractional Net Share (after aggregating all shares represented by all Cancelled Options held by such individual) shall be settled in cash based on the Cash Equivalent Consideration (such consideration being hereinafter referred to as the “Option Consideration”). The holder of each Cancelled Option shall receive at the Effective Time from the Company, or as soon as practicable thereafter (but in no even later than the Company’s first full payroll after the Effective Time) from the Surviving Company, the Option Consideration. If the exercise price per share of any such Cancelled Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Option shall, by direction of Parent (which is hereby given pursuant to this Agreement), be cancelled without any payment being made in respect thereof. The payment of Option Consideration to the holder of a Cancelled Option shall be reduced by any applicable tax withholding required under the Code or any Applicable Law. The applicable taxes required to be withheld from the Option Consideration shall reduce first the Cash Merger Consideration portion of the Option Consideration with any remaining amount reducing the Stock Merger Consideration portion of the Option Consideration, with the value of the stock portion for purposes of such deduction determined based on the Parent Average Closing Price. The holder of each Cancelled Option that is a Company 102 Option or that is otherwise held by the 102 Trustee shall receive the Option Consideration through the 102 Trustee in accordance with Section 2.8.

(ii)     At the Effective Time, each Company Option (or portion thereof) that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (and does not vest as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) shall be assumed by Parent (each, an “Assumed Option”) and Parent and the Company shall take such acts and adopt such corporate resolutions as may be required to effect such assumption. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.14(c)(ii) or in Section 6.14(c)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter, each such Assumed Option shall be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as applied to the related Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the same service-based vesting schedule (but not the same or any other performance-based vesting conditions) applicable thereto, except that (A) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Assumed Option shall be equal to the product of (x) the number of Company Shares underlying such unvested Assumed Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming, in the case of an Assumed Option that is subject to performance-based vesting conditions, that applicable performance goals have been attained at maximum levels) multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio (with the resulting number rounded down to the nearest whole share); and (B) the per share exercise price of each Assumed Option shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing (x) the exercise price per share at which such Assumed Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio (with the resulting price per share rounded up to the nearest whole cent). Each Assumed Option so assumed by Parent shall qualify following the Effective Time as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Code and to the extent such Assumed Option qualified as an incentive stock option prior to the Effective Time, and, further, that the assumption of Assumed Options pursuant to this Section shall be effected in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Sections 409A and 424(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and this Section 6.14(c) will be construed consistent with this intent.

(d)     Termination of Non-U.S. Company Compensatory Awards. Notwithstanding the provisions above, Parent may, prior to the Effective Time, determine reasonably and in good faith, subject to the consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld that any Company Compensatory Award that is subject to the Applicable Laws of a non-U.S. or non-Israeli jurisdiction may be treated in a manner other than prescribed by Section 6.14(a) through Section 6.14(c), as applicable, to the extent that (i) Parent and the Company reasonably and in good faith determine that (A) the manner in which such Company Compensatory Award would otherwise be treated pursuant to Section 6.14(a) through 6.14(c), as applicable, would result in a violation of Applicable Laws or a materially adverse tax consequence to the individual holding such Company Compensatory Award in the applicable non-U.S. jurisdiction and (B) such different treatment is necessary to comply with such Applicable Laws; and (ii) such different treatment is, to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with Section 6.14(a) through 6.14(c), as applicable. Parent and the Company shall agree at least ten (10) days prior to the Effective Time to the treatment of any Company Compensatory Award that will be treated in a manner other than prescribed by Section 6.14(a) through 6.14(c), as applicable.

(e)     Necessary Actions; Form S-8. The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 6.14 under all Company Plans and Company Compensatory Awards or any other plan or arrangement of the Company, including delivering all required notices, obtaining all necessary consents, and making any determinations and/or resolutions of the Company Board or a committee thereof. Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days following the Effective Time), if available for use by Parent, Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or other appropriate form) relating to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to, or underlying, Assumed RSUs, Assumed RSAs and Assumed Options under this Section 6.14.

6.15     Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any acquisitions in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of shares of Parent Common Stock by each individual who is or shall become a director or officer of Parent subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to Parent, or the assumption by Parent of Assumed RSUs, Assumed RSAs or Assumed Options held by such individuals, in each case to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

6.16     Operations in Israel; Employee Matters.

(a)     Parent currently intends, with respect to the Surviving Company, (i) to continue Parent’s existing policies of investment and expansion in the State of Israel and (ii) in furtherance of the foregoing, has no present intention to, after the Closing, move the headquarters of the Surviving Company, or the operations of the Surviving Company conducted at such headquarters, outside the State of Israel.

(b)     Following the Effective Time and until the first anniversary thereof (the “Benefits Continuation Period”), Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Company to provide, to each Continuing Employee (i) annual base compensation, short-term incentive opportunities and long-term incentive opportunities that are no less favorable, in each case, than the annual base compensation, short-term incentive opportunities and long-term incentive opportunities provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) severance benefits that are no less favorable than the severance benefits provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time and (iii) employee benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the employee benefits provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c)     Without limiting the generality of Section 6.16(a), from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with all obligations under the Employee Plans, including all of the Company’s employment, severance, retention and termination plans, programs, policies and arrangements, in each case, in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d)     With respect to all plans maintained by Parent, the Surviving Company or their respective Subsidiaries (including any vacation, paid time-off and severance plans), for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, vesting and benefit accruals, each Continuing Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any such Subsidiary, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary) shall be treated as service with Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

(e)     Without limiting the generality of Section 6.16(a), Parent shall cause to be waived any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries in which Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Employee Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall recognize, or cause to be recognized, the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Continuing Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which they will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time.

(f)     For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Employee Plan, for purposes of any Employee Plan containing a definition of “change in control” or “change of control,” the Closing shall be deemed to constitute a “change in control” or “change of control” (except as would result in the imposition of “additional taxes” under Section 409A).

(g)     The Company shall terminate, effective as of the day immediately preceding the date the Company becomes a member of the same Controlled Group of Corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code) as Parent, any and all 401(k) plans maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, unless Parent provides written notice to the Company that such 401(k) plan(s) shall not be terminated. The Company shall provide Parent evidence that the 401(k) plan(s) of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been terminated pursuant to resolutions of the Company Board or the board of directors of its Subsidiaries, as applicable. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the review and approval of Parent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(h)     Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring Parent, the Company or any of their Affiliates to continue any specific benefit plan or program, or to continue the employment of any specific person. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to create any right to any compensation or benefits on the part of any Continuing Employee or other future, present or former employee of Parent, the Company or their respective Affiliates. Section 6.14 and Section 6.16 are intended to be for the sole benefit of the Parties to this Agreement, and nothing in Section 6.14 and Section 6.16 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder or make any employee or other service provider of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries or any other Person a third party beneficiary of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall operate as an amendment to any Employee Plan. Further, Parent, the Company and their respective Affiliates retain the right to amend or terminate their benefit plans at any time and from time to time (in each case, in accordance with the terms of the applicable benefit plan).

6.17     Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)     From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under their respective articles of association (and other similar organizational documents) and all indemnification and exculpation agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former directors and officers (the “Indemnified Parties”) in effect as of the date of this Agreement or which may be entered into subsequent to the date of this Agreement as permitted by Section 5.2(g). From and after the Effective Time, in the event that the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, (ii) transfers or conveys all of or substantially all of its properties and other assets to any Person, (iii) transfers any material portion of its assets in a single transaction or in a series of transactions or (iv) Parent takes any action to materially impair the financial ability of the Surviving Company and its applicable Subsidiaries to satisfy the obligations referred to in this Section 6.17, then, and in each such case, Parent shall either (A) guarantee, expressly assume, or shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Company shall expressly assume, the obligations set forth in this Section 6.17; or (B) take any other action to ensure that the ability of the Surviving Company to satisfy such obligations will not be diminished in any material respect. For seven years after the Effective Time, Parent shall (and shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to) cause the articles of association, certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or any other similar organizational documents) of the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as the indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation provisions contained in the articles of association of the Company immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, and such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who were covered by such provisions, except as required by Applicable Law.

(b)     For a period of seven years after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Company shall maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement, any ancillary documents, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the consummation thereof), covering each person covered by the D&O Insurance immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Insured Parties”), on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts no less favorable, than those of the D&O Insurance in effect on the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Surviving Company may, at its option, substitute therefor policies of Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries containing terms with respect to coverage and amounts no less favorable, to such persons than the D&O Insurance. In satisfying its obligations under this Section 6.17(b), Parent and the Surviving Company shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of 250% of the annual amount payable by the Company for the D&O Insurance (such amount, the “Annual Premium”) (which premiums the Company represents and warrants to be as set forth in Section 6.17(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter), it being understood that if the annual premiums of the D&O Insurance exceed 250% of the Annual Premium, Parent and the Surviving Company shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding 250% of the Annual Premium. Prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may purchase a seven-year “tail” prepaid policy (the “Tail Policy”) on the D&O Insurance on terms and conditions no less favorable than the D&O Insurance and for an amount not to exceed 300% of the Annual Premium. In the event that the Company does not purchase the Tail Policy, Parent may purchase a Tail Policy on the D&O Insurance on terms and conditions no less favorable, than the D&O Insurance. In the event that either the Company or Parent shall purchase such a Tail Policy prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Company shall maintain such Tail Policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder, in lieu of all other obligations of Parent and the Surviving Company under the first sentence of this Section 6.17(b), for so long as such Tail Policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

(c)     The obligations set forth in this Section 6.17 shall survive consummation of the Merger. Each of the Indemnified Parties or other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the Tail Policy (and their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.17, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto.

(d)     In the event that any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (“Claim”) is brought or asserted against any Indemnified Party or Insured Party with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time in their capacities as such (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement, any ancillary documents, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the consummation thereof), then the Surviving Company shall afford, and shall cause each of its applicable Subsidiaries to afford, the Indemnified Party and Insured Party and its counsel and other representatives, reasonable access, during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to information and documents relating to such Claim and the defense thereof, subject to such Indemnified Party or Insured Party signing a confidentiality undertaking in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent with respect to confidential information and documents being so disclosed. The Surviving Company shall, and shall cause each of its applicable Subsidiaries to, reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Party and the Insured Party in connection with the defense of such Claim, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Claim involves matters where the Indemnified Party or the Insured Party is adverse to the Parent or the Surviving Company or the applicable Subsidiary thereof, such cooperation shall not include the provision of any privileged communications or other such information.

6.18     Obligations of Parent and Merger Sub. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub and the Surviving Company to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

6.19     Tax Rulings.

(a)     As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants to prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling confirming that (i) the cancellation and exchange of the Company 102 Compensatory Awards in accordance with Section 6.14 and conversion of the Company 102 Shares in accordance Section 2.7(a) and Section 2.8 shall not be regarded as a violation of the “requisite holding period” (as such term is defined in Section 102 of the Ordinance) so long as the respective consideration to be received in respect of such Company 102 Compensatory Awards and Company 102 Shares in accordance with this Agreement is deposited with the 102 Trustee until the end of the respective holding period (which ruling may be subject to customary conditions regularly associated with such a ruling) and (ii) all Assumed RSUs, Assumed RSAs and Assumed Options that were Company 102 Options, Company 102 Restricted Shares or Company 102 Restricted Share Units prior to the Effective Time shall continue, after the Effective Time, to benefit from the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance and to qualify thereunder as grants made through a trustee pursuant to the capital gains tax route (the “Option Tax Ruling”). The Company shall include in the request for the Option Tax Ruling a request to exempt Parent, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Fund Agent and their respective agents from any withholding obligation in relation to any payments made with respect to any Company 102 Compensatory Awards or Company 102 Shares. If the Option Tax Ruling is not granted prior to the Closing or in accordance with the instructions of the ITA, the Company shall seek to obtain prior to the Closing an interim tax ruling confirming, among other things, that Parent and any Person acting on its behalf (including the Exchange Fund Agent) shall be exempt from Israeli withholding tax in relation to any payments made with respect to any Company 102 Compensatory Awards or Company 102 Shares to the Exchange Fund Agent, the 102 Trustee or the Company in connection with the Merger (the “Interim Option Tax Ruling”). To the extent that prior to the Closing an Interim Option Tax Ruling shall have been obtained, then all references herein to the Option Tax Ruling shall be deemed to refer to such Interim Option Tax Ruling, until such time that a final definitive Option Tax Ruling is obtained.

(b)     As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants to prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling (i) with respect to holders of Company Shares that are non-Israeli residents (as defined in the Ordinance or as will be determined by the ITA), (A) exempting Parent, the Exchange Fund Agent, the Surviving Company and their respective agents from any obligation to withhold Israeli Tax from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, including the Merger Consideration, or clarifying that no such obligation exists; or (B) instructing Parent, the Exchange Fund Agent, the Surviving Company and their respective agents on how such withholding is to be executed, and in particular, with respect to the classes or categories of holders of the Company Shares from which Tax is to be withheld (if any), the rate or rates of withholding to be applied and how to identify any such non−Israeli residents; and (ii) with respect to holders of Company Shares that are Israeli residents (as defined in the Ordinance or as will be determined by the ITA) (other than holders of Company Shares subject to Section 102 of the Ordinance) (A) exempting Parent, the Exchange Fund Agent, the Surviving Company and their respective agents from any obligation to withhold Israeli Tax from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, including the Merger Consideration, or clarifying that no such obligation exists; or (B) instructing Parent, the Exchange Fund Agent, the Surviving Company and their respective agents on how such withholding is to be executed, and in particular, with respect to the classes or categories of holders of the Company Shares from which Tax is to be withheld (if any), the rate or rates of withholding to be applied (the “Withholding Tax Ruling”).

(c)     104H Tax Ruling. As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants to prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling (or an interim ruling) permitting holders of Company Shares that are Israeli residents (as defined in the Ordinance or as will be determined by the ITA) (the “Electing Holder”), to defer any applicable Israeli tax with respect to the Stock Merger Consideration that such Electing Holder will receive pursuant to this Agreement until the sale, transfer or other conveyance for cash of such stock portion of the consideration by such Electing Holder or such other date set forth in Section 104H of the Israeli Tax Ordinance (the “104H Tax Ruling”).

(d)     Without limiting the generality of Section 6.6(a), each of the Company and Parent shall use their reasonable best efforts, and shall cause their respective Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants to coordinate all material activities, and to cooperate with each other, with respect to the preparation and filing of such application and in the preparation of any written or oral submissions that may be necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Option Tax Ruling (including the Interim Option Tax Ruling), the Withholding Tax Ruling and the 104H Tax Ruling and in obtaining such rulings. Parent shall be given the opportunity to review the final text of the Interim Option Tax Ruling, the Option Tax Ruling and the Withholding Tax Ruling and the Company shall consider in good faith all comments reasonably proposed by Parent or its counsel.

6.20     Stock Exchange Listing. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger to be approved for listing on the Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Effective Time.

In addition to the foregoing, no termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the applicable Parties set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.

8.3     Fees and Expenses.

(a)     General. Except as set forth in Section 6.7(b), Section 6.11 and this Section 8.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated. Expenses incurred under the HSR Act or any comparable pre-merger notification filings, forms and submissions with any non-U.S. Governmental Entity that may be required by the Antitrust Laws of any applicable non-U.S. jurisdiction shall be shared equally by Parent and the Company.

(b)     Company Payments.

(i)     In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(f)(ii), within two Business Days after termination, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent $125,000,000 (the “Termination Fee Amount”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent.

(ii)     In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(g), then the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent the Termination Fee Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent substantially concurrently with but not later than one Business Day after the date of such termination.

(iii)     In the event that (A) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (1) Section 8.1(b) or (2) Section 8.1(f)(i), (B) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and (x) prior to the date of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting (in the case of any termination referred to in clause (A)(1)), or (y) prior to the breach or inaccuracy that forms the basis for the termination of this Agreement (in the case of any termination referred to in clause (A)(2)), an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced or shall have become publicly known, or (in the case of any termination referred to in clause (A)(2) above) shall have been communicated or otherwise made known to the Company; and (C) within 12 months following the termination of this Agreement, either (x) an Acquisition Transaction (whether or not the Acquisition Transaction referenced in the preceding clause (B)) is consummated or (y) the Company enters into a Contract providing for an Acquisition Transaction (whether or not the Acquisition Transaction referenced in the preceding clause (B)) and such Acquisition Transaction is consummated (whether or not within the 12-month period), then, within one Business Day after the date any such Acquisition Transaction is consummated, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent the Termination Fee Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent. For purposes of this Section 8.3(b)(iii), all references to “15%” in the definition of “Acquisition Transaction” shall be deemed to be references to “50%.”

(c)     Enforcement. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Section 8.3(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger), and that, without such provisions, Parent would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay in a timely manner the amounts due pursuant to Section 8.3(b), and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent makes a claim that results in a judgment in favor of such payment against the Company, the Company shall pay to Parent its reasonable costs and expenses (including its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amounts set forth in Section 8.3(b), at the prime rate of Citibank N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made, plus 500 basis points. Payment of the fees described in Section 8.3(b) shall not be in lieu of, or replacement or substitution for, damages incurred in the event of any breach of this Agreement. In no event shall the Company be obligated to pay, or cause to be paid, the Termination Fee Amount on more than one occasion.

8.4     Amendment. Subject to Applicable Law and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, except that if this Agreement has been approved by shareholders of the Company in accordance with Israeli law, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement that requires the approval of such shareholders of the Company without such approval.

8.5     Extension; Waiver. At any time and from time to time prior to the Effective Time, any Party or Parties may, to the extent legally allowed and except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party or Parties, as applicable; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such Party or Parties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto; or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such Party or Parties contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a Party or Parties to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party or Parties, as applicable. Any delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

The inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice is given will be deemed to be receipt of the notice as of the date of such inability to deliver.

9.3     Assignment. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

9.4     Entire Agreement.

(a)     This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the Parties as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. However, the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded, shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time and (b) the date on which the Confidentiality Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

(b)     Except for the representations and warranties contained in Article III, each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that neither the Company nor any Person on behalf of the Company makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or with respect to any other information provided to Parent or Merger Sub in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any other Person will have or be subject to any liability to Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person resulting from the distribution to Parent or Merger Sub, or Parent’s or Merger Sub’s use of, and neither Parent nor Merger Sub have relied on, any such information, including any information, documents, estimates, projections, forward-looking statements, business plans, forecasts or other material made available to Parent or Merger Sub in certain “data rooms” or management presentations in expectation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless and then only to the extent that any such information is expressly included in a representation or warranty contained in Article III.

(c)     Except for the representations and warranties contained in Article IV, the Company acknowledges that none of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Parent or Merger Sub or with respect to any other information provided to the Company in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. None of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person will have or be subject to any liability to the Company or any other Person resulting from the distribution to the Company, or the Company’s use of, and the Company has not relied on, any such information, including any information, documents, estimates, projections, forward-looking statements, business plans, forecasts or other material made available to the Company in certain “data rooms” or management presentations in expectation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless and then only to the extent that any such information is expressly included in a representation or warranty contained in Article IV.

9.5     Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in or contemplated by Section 6.17, this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder.

9.6     Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

9.7     Other Remedies. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies in this Agreement expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

9.8     Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Parties in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each of the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of Israel, the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

9.9     Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement, the negotiation, execution, existence, validity, enforceability or performance of this Agreement, or for the breach or alleged breach hereof (whether in contract, in tort or otherwise) shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or otherwise) that would cause the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction; except that provisions related to the internal affairs of the Company, the fiduciary and other duties of its directors, the procedures for implementing, and effects of, the Merger, and all other provisions of, or transactions contemplated by, this Agreement that are expressly or otherwise required to be governed by the Laws of the State of Israel shall be governed by such Laws.

9.10     Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties (a) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in accordance with Section 9.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Applicable Law, and nothing in this Section 9.10 shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law; (b) irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if (and only if) such court finds it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and (c) irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if (and only if) such court finds it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if (and only if) such court finds it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such courts, and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the Parties agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

9.11     WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF PARENT, COMPANY AND MERGER SUB IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT, COMPANY OR MERGER SUB IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

9.12     Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in one or more textually identical counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by fax or .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), will be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party may raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

9.13     No Limitation. It is the intention of the Parties that, to the extent possible, unless provisions are mutually exclusive and effect cannot be given to both or all such provisions, (a) the representations, warranties, covenants and closing conditions in this Agreement will be construed to be cumulative; (b) each representation, warranty, covenant and closing condition in this Agreement will be given full, separate and independent effect; and (c) nothing set forth in any provision in this Agreement will (except to the extent expressly stated) in any way be deemed to limit the scope, applicability or effect of any other provision of this Agreement.
