In this regard, the "Company's Determining Equity" means the Company's equity related to Company shareholders pursuant to its latest consolidated audited or reviewed financial reports, as the case may be, as on the date of indemnity payment.

 

It is hereby clarified that payment of the said indemnification amount does not derogate from your right to insurance proceeds, including as related to the Indemnity Letter Determining Instances insured by an insurance company, which the Company will receive for you from time to time, if any, as part of any Company Corporate Office Holders' insurance provided you are not paid double compensation for any indemnifiable liability or expense as set forth in Article 2 above and subject to the provisions of Article 5.6 below.

 

Without derogating from Article 5.6 below, it is hereby explicitly emphasized that Company payments shall comprise an "additional layer" beyond the total insurance proceeds paid by the insurer, if any. In addition, it is hereby emphasized that this indemnification undertaking is not a contract in favor of any third party, including any insurer, and it is non-assignable and no insurer shall have the right to demand Company participation in payment to which the insurer is obligated according to an insurance agreement signed therewith, excluding the deductible set forth in the said agreement.

Where the total indemnification amounts that the Company is required to pay at any time, plus all indemnification amounts paid by the Company until such time pursuant to the Letters of Indemnification, exceeds the Maximum Indemnification Amount, the Maximum Indemnification Amount or the balance thereof, as the case may be, shall be divided among the Company Corporate Office Holders who shall be entitled to indemnification for demands submitted to the Company under the Letters of Indemnification and which were not paid thereto before such time (hereinafter: "Entitled Corporate Office Holders") where the Indemnification Amount actually received by each of the Entitled Corporate Office Holders shall be calculated upon the pro rata share between the indemnification amount that would have been due to each of the Entitled Corporate Office Holders and the cumulative indemnification amount that would have been due to each such Entitled Corporate Office Holder upon submitting such demands, were it not for the Maximum Indemnification Amount.

 

Where the Company paid Company Corporate Office Holders indemnification of the Maximum Indemnification Amount, the Company shall not bear additional indemnification amounts unless payment of the Additional Indemnification Amounts is approved by the Company organs authorized to approve such increase by law upon paying the Additional Indemnification Amounts and subject to an amendment of the Company Articles of Incorporation, where so required by law.

 

It shall be clarified that this Letter of Indemnity does not limit the Company or prevent it from increasing the Maximum Indemnification Amount for indemnifiable instances, whether due to the reduction of insurance fees in Corporate Office Holder liability insurance policies or because the Company is unable to obtain Corporate Office Holder insurance to cover the indemnifiable instances upon reasonable terms or whether for any other reason, provided the said resolution is passed in the manner set forth in the Companies Law.

 

3.2Indemnification Amount for Determining Instances

 

Subject to Article 3.1 above, the indemnification undertaking for each of the Determining Instances shall be limited, separately for each Company Corporate Office Holder and for each instance, to the indemnifiable liability or expense as set forth above, but no more than the Maximum Indemnification Amount for each of the Determining Instances.

It shall be emphasized that the Company will not require you to provide any collateral as a condition for transferring you the said funds.

Notwithstanding this Letter of Indemnity above (including Article 4 above) and seeing that, as set forth in Article 3.1 above the Company payments shall comprise an "additional layer" beyond the insurance fees paid to you by the insurer, where any such fees are paid, then whenever you might be entitled to indemnification, where you are required to incur expenses and payments relating to the legal proceedings against you and related to the said instance, you will first turn to the insurance for the money required to cover the said expenses and payments.
