Notwithstanding an election by Oramed to assume the defense of any Claim as set forth above, such Indemnified Person shall have the right (at its own cost if Oramed has elected to assume such defense) to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of any Claim. All costs incurred by an Indemnified Person in connection with enforcement of its rights under this Section 6.5 shall also be reimbursed by Oramed promptly after final determination that such Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification by Oramed.

This Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of [__] 2025 by and among:

1.8. | “Option Holder” shall mean HTIT Sub or any of its permitted assignee(s) or transferee(s) pursuant to Section 8.2 of this Agreement. |
1.9. | “Option Shares” shall mean any Shares issued by the Company to Option Holder or any of its permitted assignee(s) or transferee(s) pursuant to this Agreement, in an amount equal to the Exercise Amount divided by the applicable Exercise Price. For the avoidance of doubt, all Option Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement, once issued, shall be considered Shares for all purposes under the JVA, and shall be held by Option Holder or any of its permitted assignee(s) or transferee(s) in accordance with all applicable provisions of the JVA and this Agreement. |
1.10. | “Original Exercise Price” shall have the meaning given in Section 3.3.1. |
1.11. | “Maximum Exercise Amount” shall be $20,000,000. |
1.12. | “Minimum Exercise Amount” shall be $5,000,000. |
2. | Interpretation. |
2.1. | “Fully-diluted” or any variation thereof means all of the issued and outstanding Shares, treating the maximum number of Shares issuable under any issued and outstanding securities of the Company that are exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into any Equity Securities in the Company, and all Shares reserved for issuance under any ESOP then in effect, as issued and outstanding. |
2.2. | “As-converted” or any variation thereof means that the calculation should be made assuming that all the issued and outstanding preferred shares of the Company have been converted into Shares. |
2.3. | interpretation set out under sections 1.2 and 1.3 of the JVA shall apply to this Agreement. |
3. | Grant of Option. |
3.1. | Grant of Option. The Company hereby irrevocably grants to Option Holder the right, exercisable at Option Holder’s sole discretion and at any time during the Exercise Period to make additional investment in the Company by subscribing for and purchasing additional Shares in the share capital of the Company, at the subscription price equal to the then applicable Exercise Price, and in an aggregate investment amount up to the Maximum Exercise Amount on the terms and conditions set out hereunder (the “HTIT Option”). For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the HTIT Option shall not be revocable by the Company or any governing body thereof upon the issuance thereof in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. |
3.2. | Exercise of Options. Option Holder shall have the right (not obligation) to exercise the HTIT Option at any time and from time to time during the Exercise Period, but in each event in accordance with the following: |
3.2.1. | Option Holder may exercise the HTIT Option in one or more tranches during the Exercise Period, provided that the investment amount that Option Holder makes to the Company in each tranche shall be no less than the Minimum Exercise Amount, and in aggregate (together with all previous tranches of investment then already made by Option Holder through exercising the HTIT Option) shall not exceed the Maximum Exercise Amount. |

An Option Exercise Notice shall specify (i) the Exercise Amount that Option Holder commits to invest and (ii) the corresponding number of Option Shares (based on the then applicable Exercise Price). An Option Exercise Notice duly delivered to the Company shall constitute a legally binding contract between the Company and Option Holder for the issuance and purchase of the number of Option Shares specified in the Option Exercise Notice free from all Encumbrances except for restrictions expressly set forth in this Agreement, the JVA and under the Company Constitution, and with all rights attached thereto at the date of the applicable Option Closing. |

3.3.1. | The subscription price payable by Option Holder to the Company for each Option Share (the “Exercise Price”) shall be [$]1 per Option Share originally and immediately upon the Second Closing under the Supplemental Agreement (the “Original Exercise Price”), as adjusted solely pursuant to the adjustment provided under Section 3.3.2. For the avoidance of doubt, the Original Exercise Price reflects a post-money valuation of the Company of $200,000,000 as of the Second Closing under the Supplemental Agreement and immediately prior to the first time exercise of the HTIT Option and with respect to such first time exercise of the HTIT Option, and the Maximum Exercise Amount shall be representing 10% of the total issued and outstanding share capital of the Company prior to the Option Closing with respect to such first time exercise of the HTIT Option assuming that the Company has not completed any equity financing or any other transaction where any investment has been made to the Company after the Second Closing under the JVA and before the Option Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Company issues any additional Equity Securities, the shareholding percentage in the Company of Option Holder with respect to the Option Shares will be diluted as if the Option Shares had been issued at the Exercise Price on the Second Closing of the JVA. |
3.3.2. | If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Second Closing Date and during the Exercise Period, implement any share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or similar transactions (the “Corporate Actions”), the Exercise Price shall be equitably and proportionally adjusted so as to provide and preserve, without any disadvantage, the same economic benefit to Option Holder as if such Corporate Actions had not taken place. The Company shall provide adequate notice to the Option Holder detailing the adjustment methodology and resulting changes to the Exercise Price to the Option Holder within a reasonable time after execution of such Corporate Actions, and in any event the Company shall notify the other Parties prior to Option Closing if any such adjustments were not accurately reflected in the Option Exercise Notice. |
3.4. | Option Closing. |
3.4.1. | Completion of the issuance of the Option Shares (the “Option Closing”) to Option Holder pursuant to this Agreement shall occur within ten (10) days following the delivery of an Option Exercise Notice by Option Holder (and if such date is not a Business Day, then on the first Business Day thereafter), at the offices of the Company, or at such other time and place as may be agreed in writing by the Parties. |
3.4.2. | In the event that Option Holder exercises the HTIT Option in multiple tranches, a separate Option Closing shall occur for each tranche. |
