Seller will provide Purchaser with any Tax forms or other documentation reasonably necessary for Purchaser to comply with its Tax withholding and reporting obligations with respect to the Transactions, if any. Any withholding made in NIS with respect to payments made hereunder in dollars shall be calculated based on the USD-NIS exchange rate known on the relevant payment date and any currency conversion commissions will be borne by Seller and deducted from payments to be made to Seller.

(d) For the purposes of determining the amount of Losses and whether a breach of a representation or warranty made by an Indemnifying Party has occurred, all qualifications or exceptions in any representation or warranty relating to or referring to the term “material,” “materiality,” “in all material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect” or any similar term or phrase shall be disregarded.

(e) The right to indemnification, payment of Losses or for other remedies based on any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.

7.5 Resolution of Indemnification Disputes. In order to seek indemnification under this Section ‎7, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Indemnified Party (each, a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party which contains: (a) a description and the amount, if known, of any Losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party (which, if known, shall be calculated and estimated by the Indemnified Party in good faith), (b) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section ‎7 for such Losses and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (c) a demand for payment in the amount of such Losses. Upon reasonable request, the Indemnified Party shall furnish the Indemnifying Party with any information to the extent that such information is reasonably necessary in order to evaluate the Claim Notice and the underlying Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to notify the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Section ‎7.5 will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation that it may have to the Indemnified Party except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such timely notice. If an Indemnifying Party disputes or contests the basis or amount of any Claim set forth in a Claim Notice delivered by an Indemnified Party in accordance with the provisions of Section ‎7, the dispute will be resolved as set forth below:

(a) The Indemnifying Party may object to a Claim for indemnification set forth in Claim Notice by delivering to the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification a written statement of objection to the Claim made in the Claim Notice (an “Objection Notice”); provided, however, that, to be effective, such Objection Notice must (i) be delivered to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following the receipt of the applicable Claim Notice (such deadline, the “Objection Deadline” for such Claim Notice and the Claims for indemnification contained therein) and (ii) set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the objections to the Claims in respect of which the objection is made.

(b) To the extent the Indemnifying Party does not object in writing (as provided in Section ‎7.5(a)) to the Claims contained in such Claim Notice prior to the Objection Deadline for such Claim Notice, such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment and agreement by the Indemnifying Party that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the Claims for Losses set forth in such Claim Notice (and such entitlement shall be conclusively and irrefutably established) (or, in the case of any Claim Notice in which the Losses (or any portion thereof) are estimated, the amount of such Losses (or such portion thereof) as finally determined) from the Indemnifying Party (any such Claim, an “Unobjected Claim”). Within thirty (30) days of a Claim becoming an Unobjected Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall make the applicable payment to such Indemnified Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section ‎7.

(c) In case an Indemnifying Party timely delivers an Objection Notice in accordance with Section ‎7.5(a), the Parties shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the Indemnifying Party with respect to each of such Claims. If the Parties reach an agreement, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both Parties (any Claims covered by such an agreement, a “Settled Claim”). Any amounts required to be paid as a result of a Settled Claim shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party pursuant to the Settled Claim within thirty (30) days of the applicable Claim becoming a Settled Claim.

(d) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation within forty-five (45) days after delivery of an Objection Notice, then upon the expiration of such forty-five (45)-day period, Seller or Purchaser may seek to resolve such dispute pursuant to Section ‎9.2.

Confidential

7.6 Third Party Claims.

(a) Notice. If an Indemnified Party shall become aware of an indemnifiable matter arising from any pending or threatened Legal Proceeding by or against a Third Party (each such action or suit being a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice (a “Third Party Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party of the basis for such Third Party Claim, which notice shall set forth the nature of the Third Party Claim, including, if known, the estimated amount of such claim in reasonable detail and include copies of any documents served on the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to notify the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Section ‎7.6(a) will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation that it may have to the Indemnified Party except to the extent the defense of such Third Party Claim is actually and materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice.

(b) Control. The Indemnifying Party, shall have the right to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify pursuant to this Section ‎7 at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense and through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided, however that the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of defense to a Third Party Claim (i) involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief other than monetary damages is sought, (ii) if the Indemnifying Party has not notified the Indemnified Party in writing that it will be liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to all Losses relating to such Third Party Claim, (iii) the amount in dispute is reasonably likely to exceed the Cap or the Indemnifying Party is reasonably expected to not have the financial wherewithal to indemnify the Indemnified Party for the estimated Losses associated with such Third Party Claim, (iv) involving (a) the Rehovot Facility Leases or (b) release of the IIA Lien, or (v) where the Indemnifying Party failed to actively pursue the defense of such Third Party Claim in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified by it hereunder, it shall within seven (7) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its intent to do so. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim or is not permitted to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to the foregoing proviso, the Indemnified Party may assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim, subject to the provisions below. The Party controlling the defense (the “Controlling Party”) shall from time to time apprise the non-controlling Party (the “Non-Controlling Party”) of the status of the Third Party Claim and any resulting Legal Proceeding and shall furnish the Non-Controlling Party with such documents and information filed or delivered in connection with such Third Party Claim as the Indemnified Party may reasonably request. The Controlling Party shall not admit any liability to any Third Party in connection with any matter which is the subject of a Third Party Notice.

(c) Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything herein stated to the contrary, the Non-Controlling Party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (A) so requested by the Indemnifying Party to participate or (B) in the reasonable opinion of outside counsel to the Indemnified Party a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any Third Party Claim. The Controlling Party shall have the right to compromise or settle such Third Party Claim with the consent of the Non-Controlling Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). For the avoidance of doubt, it shall be reasonable for an Indemnified Party to withhold, condition or delay its consent: (1) unless the claimant provides to such Party an unqualified release of the Indemnified and Indemnifying Parties from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (2) where the Indemnifying Party is the Controlling Party, such settlement involves any injunctive relief binding upon the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (3) where the Indemnifying Party is the Controlling Party, such settlement encumbers any of the material assets of any Indemnified Party or imposes any restriction or condition that would apply to or materially affect any Indemnified Party or the conduct of any Indemnified Party’s business and (4) where the Indemnifying Party is the Controlling Party, such settlement involves any admission of liability or wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates. Each Party shall furnish the other Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the other Party in the defense of such Third Party Claim.

Confidential

7.7 Payments; Tax Treatment. Once the amount of Losses are agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally determined to be payable pursuant to this Section ‎7, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within ten (10) Business Days of such final determination by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Indemnified Party. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, any amounts payable pursuant to this Section ‎7 shall be treated by Purchaser and Seller as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Laws
