Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned, the Beneficial Owner (as defined in Section 13(d) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of 352,857 units, each consisting of (x) one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (“Moringa Class A Ordinary Share”), and (y) one-half of a warrant to purchase one Moringa Class A Ordinary Share, of Moringa Acquisition Corp (“Moringa”) (the “Held Securities”), understands that (i) Moringa entered into a Business Combination Agreement, dated as of June _, 2022 (the “BCA”), pursuant to which, inter alia, (A) all of the Held Securities shall be converted, as the case may be, into Ordinary Shares of Holisto Ltd. (“Holisto”), NIS 0.01 par value each (the “Ordinary Shares”) or warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares, and (B) Holisto shall prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form F-4 in connection with the registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the Ordinary Shares and warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares, and (ii) Holisto entered into one or more Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) providing for the offering to one or more subscribers of Holisto’s senior convertible notes, in an aggregate original principal amount of $30,000,000 (the “Notes”), which Notes shall be convertible into Ordinary Shares ((i) and (ii), collectively, the “Offering”). In recognition of the benefit that the Offering will confer upon the undersigned as a securityholder of Holisto, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that, during a period (the “Lock-Up Period”) commencing on the date hereof and ending thirty (30) days following the Effective Time (as defined below) (the “Final Lock-Up Termination Date”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Holisto, directly or indirectly, (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, hypothecate, encumber, donate, assign, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, directly or indirectly (each, a “Transfer”) any Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Ordinary Shares, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition, or file, make any demand with respect to, cause to be filed, or exercise any right with respect to any registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Ordinary Shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, whether any such transaction, described in clauses (i), or (ii) above, is to be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

 

Effective Time” means the time when a plan of merger between a wholly owned subsidiary of Holisto on the one side, and Moringa on the other side, has been registered by the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands or such later time as Holisto and Moringa may agree and specify pursuant to the Cayman Islands Law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may Transfer the Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of Holisto, provided that (1) only in the case of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (viii) below, Holisto receives a signed lock-up agreement for the balance of the lockup period from each donee, trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the case may be, (2) any such Transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (3) such Transfers are not required to be reported with the SEC in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and (4) neither the undersigned nor any donee, trustee, distributee or transferee, as the case may be, otherwise voluntarily effects any public filing or report regarding such Transfers, provided that in the case of clauses (v) and (ix), if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 16 of the Exchange Act during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned shall include a statement in such report to the effect that such transfer is by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or in connection with a divorce settlement or other court order, or is to the Company in connection with the vesting or settlement of restricted stock units or exercise of options, as the case may be:

 

(i)to any member of the immediate family of the undersigned or to a trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin); or

 

(ii)as a distribution to limited partners, members, or stockholders of the undersigned; or

 

(iii)to the undersigned affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned; or

 

(iv)Transfers by gift, will, other testamentary document or intestate succession to the legal representative, heir, beneficiary or a member of the immediate family of the undersigned; or

(vi)to Holisto pursuant to the repurchase provisions of existing employment agreements and equity grant documents;

 

(vii)to Holisto in satisfaction of any tax withholding obligation; or

 

(viii)as a bona fide gift or gifts.

 

(ix)In addition, this lock-up agreement shall not restrict the delivery of Ordinary Shares to the undersigned upon vesting and settlement of restricted share units or exercise of options outstanding on the date hereof in accordance with their terms provided, that the restrictions of this letter shall apply to any Lock-Up Securities issued upon such conversion or exercise.

For purposes of this clause, “change of control” means the consummation of any bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction the result of which is that, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or group of persons, other than Holisto, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of total voting power of the voting shares of Holisto.

 

Furthermore, the undersigned may sell Ordinary Shares purchased by the undersigned on the open market following the Offering if and only if (i) such sales are not required to be reported in any public report or filing with the SEC (other than a Form 144 in relation to such a sale otherwise permitted hereunder), and (ii) neither the undersigned nor any purchaser of the Ordinary Shares otherwise voluntarily effects any public filing or report or other public notice regarding such sales.
