The exchange procedures shall comply with such procedures as may be required by the Israeli Tax Ruling (as defined in Section ‎4.4‎(b)) if obtained, and shall permit Parent, Alkaloida, TDC and SPH (after consultation with the Company) to require holders of Company Ordinary Shares to provide any information as is reasonably needed to comply with the Israeli Tax Ruling (or such other forms or declaration as may be required under any applicable Tax law), all in accordance with the withholding rights pursuant to Section ‎1.9. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.8‎(b), each Company Share Certificate and/or Book-Entry Shares shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of Company Ordinary Shares represented by such Company Share Certificate and/or Book-Entry Shares, without interest thereon and subject to withholding Tax. If any Company Share Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the delivery of any Merger Consideration, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Share Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver a bond in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Paying Agent, Parent, Alkaloida, TDC, SPH, the Surviving Company or any affiliated party with respect to such Company Share Certificate.

(d) None of the Paying Agent, Parent, Alkaloida, TDC, SPH or the Surviving Company shall be liable to any holder or former holder of Company Ordinary Shares or to any other Person with respect to any Merger Consideration delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Merger Consideration, payable in respect of Company 102 Shares shall be transferred to the Section 102 Trustee, for the benefit of the beneficial owners thereof, and be released by the Section 102 Trustee to the beneficial owners of such Company 102 Shares in accordance with the requirements of Section 102 of the Ordinance (including prior to Amendment No. 132 to the Ordinance) and any ruling obtained from the ITA, if obtained.

(a) Each of the Paying Agent, the Israeli Paying Agent, the Section 102 Trustee, Parent, Alkaloida, TDC, SPH and the Surviving Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Ordinary Shares (other than Excluded Ordinary Shares) such amounts that are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom or in connection therewith under the Code, under the Ordinance, or under any provision of U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement; provided, that, (i) with respect to any withholding under Israeli Legal Requirements, the Paying Agent, the Israeli Paying Agent, Parent, Alkaloida, TDC, SPH and the Surviving Company shall act in accordance with (A) the Israeli Tax Ruling, if obtained, or (B) a Valid Tax Certificate and (ii) absent a change in law after the date of this Agreement, there shall not be any withholding on account of U.S. federal income taxes, other than U.S. backup withholding in the case of a holder that does not provide a duly executed IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8, as applicable, claiming a complete exemption from backup withholding. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid and the Paying Agent or Israeli Paying Agent shall furnish as promptly as practicable such Person with a documentation evidencing such Tax withholding or deduction. Any withholding made in NIS with respect to payments made hereunder in U.S. Dollars shall be calculated based on a conversion rate determined by the Paying Agent, the Israeli Paying Agent or any other payor of consideration on the date the withholding is actually made from any recipient, and any currency conversion commissions will be deducted from payments to be made to the applicable payment recipient.

(b) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement but subject to clause (d), and in accordance with the Paying Agent undertaking provided by the Israeli Paying Agent to Parent as required under Section 6.2.4.3 of the Income Tax Circular 19/2018 (Transaction for Sale of Rights in a Corporation that includes Consideration that will be transferred to the Seller at Future Dates) (the “Paying Agent Undertaking”), with respect to Israeli Taxes, any consideration payable to each holder or former holder of Company Ordinary Shares (other than Company 102 Shares) shall be retained by the Paying Agent for the benefit of such payment recipient for a period of up to 180 days from the Closing Date or an earlier date required in writing by such payment recipient (the “Withholding Drop Date”), during which time, unless otherwise requested in writing by the ITA, no payments shall be made by the Paying Agent to such payment recipient and no amounts for Israeli Taxes shall be withheld from the payments deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, except as provided below and during which time, such payment recipient may obtain a Valid Tax Certificate. If a payment recipient delivers, no later than three Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date a Valid Tax Certificate to the Paying Agent, 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 payment recipient. If such payment recipient (i) does not provide the Paying Agent with a Valid Tax Certificate by no later than three Business Days before the Withholding Drop Date, or (ii) submits a written request with the Paying Agent to release its portion of the consideration prior to the Withholding Drop Date and fails to submit a Valid Tax Certificate no later than three Business Days before such time, then the amount to be withheld from such payment recipient’s portion of the consideration shall be calculated in accordance with the applicable withholding rate as determined by the Israeli Paying Agent which amount shall be calculated in NIS based on the US$:NIS exchange rate determined by the Israeli Paying Agent on the date the withholding is actually made from such recipient, and the Paying Agent will pay to such recipient the balance of the payment due to such recipient that is not so withheld.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any payments made to holders of any Company 102 Shares will be subject to deduction or withholding of Israeli Tax under the Ordinance on the sixteenth day of the calendar month following the month during which the Closing Date occurs, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Ordinance and any tax ruling obtained by the Company.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Israeli Tax Ruling is obtained and delivered to Parent, then the provisions of the Israeli Tax Ruling shall apply, prevail and govern and all applicable withholding procedures with respect to any recipients shall be made in accordance with the provisions of such ruling, as the case may be.

(c) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to 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 analogous employee benefit plan of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Section ‎4.14 is intended to be for the sole benefit of the Parties to this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied, including this Section ‎4.14, (i) shall be construed as requiring or shall require Parent, the Company or any of their Affiliates to continue the employment or service of any specific person, to limit the ability of Parent, the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates from terminating the employment or service of any employee or other service provider (including any Continuing Employee); (ii) without derogating from the provisions of Section 4.14(a), shall alter or limit the ability of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates from amending, modifying or terminating any benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement of the Company, Parent or any of their Affiliates, (iii) shall establish or constitute an amendment, termination or modification of, or an undertaking to establish, amend, terminate or modify, any benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement of the Company, Parent or any of their Affiliates, or (iv) shall be construed to create or waive any right to any compensation or benefits on the part of any Continuing Employee or other future, present or former employee or other service provider of Parent, the Company or their respective Affiliates or any beneficiary of the foregoing, or 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 Affiliates or any other Person a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

In any such action: (i) each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or any right of objection to jurisdiction on account of its place of incorporation or domicile, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in any New York Court; (ii) each of the parties irrevocably consents to service of process sent by a national courier service (with written confirmation of receipt) to its address identified in Section 8.9 of this Agreement or in any other manner permitted by applicable law; and (iii) each of the parties waives any right to trial by jury in any court.

8.6. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies that may be granted by a court, the arbitrators shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies, to order a party to request that a court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitrator’s orders to that effect.

8.7. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that (a) irreparable harm would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not to be performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy or remedies to which such party is entitled at law or in equity and (b) the Special Committee shall be permitted, on behalf of the Company, to seek to enforce the obligations of Parent, Alkaloida, TDC, SPH and Merger Sub under this Agreement.

8.8. Attorneys’ Fees.
