The Lazar Parties will provide in writing the appropriate wiring instructions to counsel for the Company by November 5, 2021.

 

3. Dismissal of Claims Against Lazar Parties. The Company shall file no later than the next business day after the Effective Date a notice of voluntary dismissal with prejudice dismissing with prejudice the Lazar Parties and the Director Nominees from the SDNY Action.

Upon entry of an Order regarding the Confidentiality Discovery Material, the Lazar Parties shall promptly designate or re-designate the Confidential Discovery Material in accordance with the Order. Within three business days following the termination of the SDNY Action, the Parties agree to either (i) make a good-faith and reasonable effort to return such Confidential Discovery Material and all copies thereof (including summaries, excerpts, and derivative works) to counsel for the producing party; or (ii) make a good-faith and reasonable effort to destroy all such Confidential Discovery Material, and certify that fact in writing to counsel for the producing party. However, counsel for the Parties shall be entitled to retain court papers, and litigation files (including attorney work product and discovery material containing Confidential Discovery Material), provided that such counsel, and employees of such counsel, shall maintain the confidentiality thereof and shall not disclose such court papers, depositions and trial transcripts, and litigation files (including attorney work product containing Confidential Discovery Material) to any person except pursuant to a court order or agreement by the producing party or except as otherwise required by law. For purposes of this Paragraph, good-faith and reasonable efforts to return or destroy Confidential Discovery Material need not include destroying Confidential Discovery Material residing on back-up tapes or other disaster recovery systems, so long as the person who has received such Confidential Discovery Material maintains its confidentiality. The termination of the SDNY Action shall occur upon the filing of a notice of dismissal, the entry of a final non-appealable order or judgment disposing of all claims in the SDNY Action.

10. No Admission of Liability. The Parties acknowledge that this Settlement Agreement is a compromise of disputed claims and that neither admits, and each expressly denies, any liability on their part.

12. No Reliance. The Parties represent and acknowledge that, in executing this Settlement Agreement, they do not rely and have not relied upon any representation or statement made by any Party or any of their agents, shareholders, representatives other than, if applicable their respective counsel, with regard to the subject matter, basis or effect of this Settlement Agreement or otherwise, other than as specifically stated in this Settlement Agreement.

13. Knowing and Voluntary. The Parties further declare that, in making this Settlement Agreement, they rely entirely upon their own and, if applicable, their counsel’s judgment, beliefs, and interests, and that they have had a reasonable period of time to read the Settlement Agreement in full, understand its terms and obligations of the Parties, and to consider this Settlement Agreement.

 

14. Jurisdiction and Forum Selection. Notwithstanding dismissal of the Lazar Parties and the Director Nominees from the SDNY Action, the Company, the Director Nominees and the Lazar Parties agree that the United District Court for the Southern District of New York, shall have jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Settlement Agreement, and if that forum is not possible, the Supreme Court for the State of New York. Each of the Parties consent to such forums and jurisdiction to hear such dispute. Pursuant to Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Insurance Co. of America, 511 U.S. 375 (1994), any stipulation or order of dismissal will explicitly reserve such jurisdiction in those courts.

 

15. Enforcement Costs. The Parties shall pay their own expenses in relation to this Settlement Agreement. In the event that an action is commenced by any Party to enforce the provisions of this Settlement Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award, in addition to any other claims or damages, of its costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with said action.

 

16. Interpretation.

The Parties shall work cooperatively and in good faith to finalize and execute all documents necessary to implement the terms of this Settlement Agreement.

 

18. Modifications. No modification of this Settlement Agreement shall be binding or enforceable unless in writing and signed by the Parties.

 

19. Successors; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Settlement Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their respective heirs, executors, successors, administrators and assigns. For avoidance of doubt it is clarified and agreed by the Parties hereto, that this Settlement Agreement is intended only for the benefit of the Parties hereto which execute the Settlement Agreement, and their respective permitted successors and assigns as stated above, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.

 

8

 

 

20. Governing Law. This Settlement Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of laws or principles thereof.

 

21. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY TO THIS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS CONTAINED HEREIN.

 

22. Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that irreparable harm to the other Parties would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Settlement Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached and that such injury would not be adequately compensable by the remedies available at law (including the payment of money damages). It is accordingly agreed that each of the Parties (the “Moving Party”) shall be entitled to seek specific enforcement (at the Moving Party’s sole expense) of, and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or to prevent any violation or threatened violation of, the terms hereof, and the other Parties will not take action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to the Moving Party seeking such relief on the grounds that any other remedy or relief is available at law or in equity. The Parties further agree to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such relief. The remedies available pursuant to this section shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Settlement Agreement but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity.

 

23. Counterparts. This Settlement Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by facsimile and/or electronic mail, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

24. Confidentiality. Each Party agrees that the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement, as well as the negotiation, execution, implementation or communications generated in connection therewith, shall remain confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third party, except (a) to the extent that such disclosure may be required by operation of law, regulation, subpoena, discovery request or court order, including such disclosures as may be necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws or financial, tax or regulatory requirements, if a Party is advised by his or its counsel that such disclosure is required; (b) to the employees, members, officers, directors, accountants, auditors, insurers and reinsurers of any of the Parties; (c) to the legal counsel of any of the Parties (provided such recipients agree in writing to keep such information confidential); and (d) by any Party in an action concerning the interpretation, validity, breach or enforcement of the Settlement Agreement, or in connection with any potential claims that expressly survive the execution of the Settlement Agreement (as set forth in paragraph 5 above). To the extent a Party is required by subpoena, court order, discovery request or by law to disclose the terms of this Settlement Agreement, to the extent permissible such Party shall promptly notify in writing the other Party prior to any disclosure. In such case, the recipient of the disclosure request shall: (a) make available as soon as practicable (and in any event prior to disclosure), for inspection and copying, a copy of the Settlement Agreement it intends to produce; and (b) to the extent possible, shall not produce anything in response to the disclosure request for at least ten (10) business days following such notice. If necessary, the recipient of the disclosure request shall take appropriate actions to resist production, as permitted by law, so as to allow the Parties to try to reach agreement on what shall be produced. Each Party agrees that where its consent to disclosure is requested by the other Party, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

25. Mutual Non-Disparagement.

(a)  Each of the Lazar Parties and the Director Nominees agrees that during the Standstill Period, neither it nor any of its representatives (as defined below) shall, and it shall cause each of its representatives to not to, directly or indirectly, in any capacity or manner, make, express, transmit, speak, write, verbalize, or otherwise communicate in any way (or cause, further, assist, solicit, encourage, support, or participate in any of the foregoing), any remark, comment, message, information, declaration, communication, or other statement of any kind (including through the use of any social or professional networking websites and/or blogs) in any public forum, whether verbal, in writing, electronically transferred, or otherwise, that might reasonably be construed to be derogatory or critical of, or negative toward, or constitute an ad hominem attack on, or otherwise disparage, defame, damage, criticize, condemn, or impugn the reputation or good name of the Company or any of its representatives, or any of their respective businesses, products, services, actions, writings, policies, practices, procedures, or advertisements.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, nothing in this section or elsewhere in this Settlement Agreement shall prohibit any Party from making any statement or disclosure required under the federal or State of Israel securities laws or other applicable laws (including to comply with any subpoena or other legal process from any Governmental Authority with competent jurisdiction over the relevant Party hereto) or stock exchange regulations; provided, however, that, unless prohibited under applicable law, such Party must provide written notice to the other Parties at least two business days prior to making any such public statement or public disclosure required under the federal or State of Israel securities laws or other applicable laws or stock exchange regulations that would otherwise be prohibited by the provisions of this section, and reasonably consider any comments of such other Party.

(d)  The limitations set forth in section shall not prevent any Party from responding to any public statement made by the other Party of the nature described in herein, if such statement by the other Party was made in breach of this Settlement Agreement, and any such response shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Settlement Agreement by the responding Party.

 

26. Press Release.
