By way of amplification and not limitation, except as contemplated by this Agreement, neither Buyer nor any of its subsidiaries shall, during the period described in the first sentence above, (a) amend or otherwise change its organizational documents, (b) split, combine, reclassify or redeem any shares of its outstanding capital stock, (c) declare, set aside or pay any dividend or other distribution payable in cash, stock or property, (d) authorize for issuance, issue (except upon the exercise of outstanding stock options) or sell, deliver or agree to issue or sell any shares of, or rights to acquire or convertible into any shares of, its capital stock (whether through the issuance or granting of options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities, commitments, subscriptions, rights to purchase or otherwise), or amend any of the terms of any such capital stock, (e) merge, acquire or dispose a material asset or invest in a another company, (f) incur, assume or prepay any indebtedness or any other liabilities, which do not arise in the ordinary course of Buyer’s business, in excess of $100,000 individually, or in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate (other than trade payables),

Section 4.3.Confidentiality. Each Party agrees to hold in strict confidence, and not distribute or make available (other than to its directors, officers, employees, agents, financing sources, lenders, accountants, representatives and counsel (collectively, the “Representatives”) who need to know such information), any confidential or proprietary data or information of the other Party (and all information derived therefrom), except:

(a) data or information that such Party can demonstrate is already in its possession or available to it from a source other than the other Party or its Representatives, provided that such data or information is not and was not currently or hereafter known by such Party or its Representatives to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other obligation of secrecy to another party;

(b) data or information which is or becomes generally available or known to the public or within the business industry other than as a result of a disclosure by such Party or its Representatives; or

(c) data or information which is independently developed by such Party or its Representatives, or known through a party other than the other Party or its Representatives, which party has no duty of confidentiality to the other Party.

In the event that a Party is requested or required (by deposition, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoenas, civil investigative demands or similar processes) to disclose any such confidential or proprietary data or information, such Party agrees, to the extent permissible under any applicable law or regulation, to (i) provide the other Party with prompt notice of such request(s) and the documents requested so that the other Party may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, and (ii) consult with the other Party as to the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request. The Parties further agree that, if in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, a Party is nonetheless, in the written opinion of its legal counsel, compelled to disclose any of such confidential or proprietary data or information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, such Party may disclose such of the confidential or proprietary data or information that it is so compelled to disclose to such tribunal without liability hereunder; provided, however, that such Party shall give the other Party written notice of the confidential or proprietary data or information to be so disclosed as soon as is practicable and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and cooperate with the other Party in seeking to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portions of the confidential or proprietary data or information required to be disclosed as the other Party designates.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall preclude the disclosure of confidential or proprietary data or information as part of a Party’s claim or defense in any legal proceeding with the other Party, including, without limitation, any indemnification claim under this Agreement.

Section 4.4.Post-Closing Covenants of Seller.

(a) Until December 31, 2011, Seller (through Willy Lieberman) shall provide to Buyer any reasonable information that the Buyer requests from Seller in order that Buyer may fulfill any of its regulatory obligations, provided, that it is acknowledged that Seller shall not be required to employ any Person after the Closing Date or engage any service professionals to fulfill these obligations after the Closing Date.

(b) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to persuade its existing customers to bring their business to Buyer, provided that in no event shall Seller be liable to Buyer (i) if any such customer decides not to continue its business with Buyer or terminates its purchase order if it becomes aware that the order is not being filled by Seller or (ii) if New Balance or any customer relating to a Transferred Purchase Order decides not to consent to an assignment. It is noted that a transfer of the License Agreement may instead take the form of a termination of the License Agreement and the entering into of a new agreement between New Balance and the Buyer.

Section 4.5.Post-Closing Covenants of Buyer.

(a) Buyer covenants and agrees that, following the Closing, unless otherwise expressly consented to in writing by Seller or as expressly permitted by this Agreement, (i) it shall carry on its business only in the ordinary course of business; (ii) it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve intact its business, assets and properties and maintain its rights and franchises with respect to its business; (iii) it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to market and sell products incorporating the Assets and to license or otherwise exploit the Assets, all in a manner consistent with good business practices and standards; (iv) it shall follow the business plan described inSection 1.6 hereto and (v) it shall fulfill all obligations under the Financing Arrangement (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement).

Section 4.6.Further Assurances. Each Party shall, from time to time on being reasonably required to do so by the other Party, now or within one year of the Closing Date, do or procure the doing of all such acts and/or execute or procure the execution of all such documents in a form reasonably satisfactory to the other Party as the other Party may reasonably consider necessary for giving full effect to this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, at the sole cost and expense of the requesting party.

Section 4.7.Injunctive Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any breach by such Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement will cause the other Party irreparable injury and damage, for which it cannot be adequately compensated in damages. Each Party, therefore, expressly agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief and/or other equitable relief to prevent any anticipatory breach or continuing breach of the provisions of any sections of this Agreement, or any part thereof, and to secure their enforcement. Nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by any Party of any right it may now have or hereafter acquire to monetary damages by reason of any injury to its property, business or reputation or otherwise arising out of any wrongful act or omission of the other Party under the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 4.8.Non-Solicitation. From the date hereof until the Closing (or the termination of this Agreement, whichever is earlier), Seller and its officers, directors, employees and agents and its affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, (b) encourage the submission of offers or proposals from any person or entity (including by way of providing any nonpublic information concerning Seller to any Person, or otherwise) with respect to, (c) initiate or participate in any negotiations or discussions regarding, (d) enter into (or authorize) any agreement or agreement in principle with respect to, any expression of interest, offer, proposal to acquire, or acquisition of either all or a substantial portion of the Assets, or (e) enter into any agreement to license all or a substantial portion of the Assets that would prevent Seller from consummating the transactions contemplated hereby.

In no event shall Seller be liable for any obligations relating to such role and Buyer shall indemnify Seller, its officers, directors and shareholders from any liability against third parties relating to such activities. Any legal documentation shall be entered into by Buyer and not Seller and any non performance or defective performance of such customer orders shall be the sole liability of Buyer.

Section 4.10.Reserved.

In connection with the performance of its duties to the Buyer pursuant to this Agrement, it may be necessary for Seller through the Key Personnel to use some or all of the Assets and/or any Additional Assets (that has been purchased and paid for by Buyer) as the case may be, after Closing, which Seller shall do in coordination with Buyer.

Section 4.12.Opportunity to Cure. Each Party agrees that, prior to taking any action against the other Party or any other party in connection with any breach or failure to observe or

perform (or alleged breach or alleged failure to observe or perform) of any covenant, agreement or commitment made by Seller or Buyer hereunder, such Party shall give the breaching party written notice of any such breach or failure to observe or perform (or alleged breach or alleged failure to observe or perform) and the breaching party shall have 14 business days to cure or correct any such breach or failure to observe or perform (or alleged breach or failure to observe or perform), provided that Buyer’s issuance of the APA Shares shall be at the Closing and such breach of performance at Closing give Seller an immediate right to terminate this Agreement.

Section 4.13.Supplements to Schedules. Prior to the Closing, each Party will supplement or amend the Schedules hereto provided by such Party with respect to any matter hereafter arising which, if existing or occurring at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Schedules. No supplement to or amendment of the Schedules made pursuant to thisSection 4.13 shall be deemed to cure any breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement unless the other Party specifically agrees thereto in writing.

Section 4.14.Access. From the date hereof until the Closing, Seller shall afford Buyer and its officers, directors, employees and agents full and free access to Seller’s books and records (including, without limitation, financial operating and other relevant data) regarding the Assets, as well as to its independent accountants and other consultants, at reasonable times during regular business hours, in order to permit Buyer to make such investigation as may be appropriate for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. From the date hereof until the first anniversary of the Closing, Buyer shall afford Seller and its officers, directors, employees and agents full and free access to Buyer’s financial information reasonably deemed relevant to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, as well as to its senior corporate management and independent accountants at reasonable times during regular business hours, in order to permit Seller to make such investigation as may be appropriate for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, prior to the expiration of any indemnification period, Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, shall have been notified of a claim for indemnity hereunder and such claim shall not have been finally resolved before the expiration of such period, any representation or warranty that is the basis for such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity as to such claim until such claim is finally resolved.

ARTICLE VI.
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.1.Indemnification of Seller. Buyer shall defend and promptly indemnify Seller, and its officers, directors, affiliates, employees, agents or representatives (the “Seller Indemnitees”) and save and hold them harmless from, against, for and in respect of and shall pay any and all damages, losses, obligations, liabilities, claims, encumbrances, deficiencies, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incident to any action, investigation, claim or proceeding (all hereinafter collectively referred to as “Losses”) suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by any Seller Indemnitee by reason of (a) any liability resulting from the Transferred Purchase Orders, (b) any representation or warranty of Buyer herein being untrue or incorrect in any material respect, including third party claims related to any such breach, (c) any material breach or material failure of observance or performance of any covenant, agreement or commitment made by Buyer hereunder or under any document or instrument relating hereto or executed pursuant hereto, or (d) Buyer’s use of the Assets or purchase orders to Buyer from the customers of Nouvelle following the Closing, and (e) Seller acting as “customer-facing” entity.

Section 6.2.Indemnification of Buyer. Seller shall defend and promptly indemnify Buyer, its officers, directors, affiliates, employees, agents or representatives (the “Buyer Indemnitees”) and save and hold them harmless from, against, for and in respect of and pay any and all Losses suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by any Buyer Indemnitee by reason of (a) any representation or warranty of Seller herein being untrue or incorrect in any material respect, including third party claims related to any such breach, (b) any material breach or material failure of observance or performance of any covenant, agreement or commitment made by Seller hereunder or under any document or instrument relating hereto or executed pursuant hereto, or (c) Seller’s use of the Assets prior to the Closing (unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Buyer in writing).

Section 6.3.Procedures.

(a) For purposes of thisSection 6.3, the party entitled to indemnification shall be known as the “Indemnified Party” and the party required to indemnify shall be known as the “Indemnifying Party.” In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to the Indemnified Party pursuant to thisArticle VI or in the event that a suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding is begun, made or instituted as a result of which the Indemnifying Party may become obligated to the Indemnified Party under thisArticle VI, the Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of the occurrence of such event and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive) (the “Claim Notice”). The failure of the Indemnified Party to provide the Indemnifying Party with timely notice will limit the indemnification provided for in thisArticle VI, only if, and to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party incurs any out-of-pocket expense or otherwise has been materially prejudiced as a direct result of such delay. The Indemnifying Party shall have 20 days from the delivery or receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party (a) whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such claim or demand and (b) if the claim is from a third party, whether or not it desires to

defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand. In the event the Indemnifying Party agrees to defend, contest or otherwise protect against any such suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will do so at its own cost and expense, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to participate at its own expense in the defense thereof by counsel of its own choice. The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party all information reasonably available to such Indemnified Party relating to such claim or demand. In addition, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be requested in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such claim or demand. The party in charge of the defense shall keep the other party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.

(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not so elect to defend such claim or does not respond to the Claim Notice during the Notice Period, the Indemnified Party will have the right (upon further notice to the Indemnifying Party) to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim for the account of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a) of thisSection 6.3 at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof,provided that the Indemnifying Party reimburses in full all costs of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by it in connection with such defense prior to such assumption.

(c) Anything in thisSection 6.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Indemnified Party believes there is a reasonable probability that a claim may have a material adverse effect upon the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim,provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for expenses of separate counsel of the Indemnified Party engaged for such purpose.

Section 6.4.Settlement of Claims.

(a) If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation for which it is called upon to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to thisArticle VI no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(b) If an Indemnified Party elects to assume the defense of any suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation for which it is entitled to be indemnified for by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to thisArticle VI, then the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 6.5.Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) No claim for indemnification in connection with Losses related to Seller’s breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement may be brought or

maintained by any Buyer Indemnitee unless and until the aggregate dollar amount of all Losses sought by the Buyer Indemnitees equals or exceeds US$150,000 (the “Buyer Threshold Amount”), in which event Seller shall be responsible for, and shall hold the Buyer Indemnitees harmless from, any and all such Losses in excess of the Buyer Threshold Amount;provided,further, however, that Buyer shall only be entitled to recover the APA Shares (at the average closing price on the TASE thirty days prior to the time of the a final judgment of the Claim or settlement agreement is entered into by the Parties) that were issued pursuant to this Agreement and shall not be entitled to any monetary indemnification in addition to such shares other than as related to Seller’s use of the Assets prior to the Closing for which the indemnification for Losses will be monetary.

(b) No claim for indemnification in connection with Losses related to Buyer’s breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement may be brought or maintained by any Seller Indemnitee unless and until the aggregate dollar amount of all Losses sought by the Seller Indemnitees equals or exceeds US$150,000 (the “Seller Threshold Amount”), in which event Buyer shall be responsible for, and shall hold the Seller Indemnitees harmless from, any and all such Losses in excess of the Seller Threshold Amount.

(c) No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any portion of a Loss to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment that such Loss or portion thereof resulted primarily and directly from the willful misconduct or bad faith of the any of the Indemnified Parties (as applicable).

(d) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided underSection 6.1 orSection 6.2 shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Buyer Indemnitees or the Seller Indemnitees, respectively, under insurance policies with respect to such Loss and shall be (i) reduced (or increased) to take account of any net tax benefit (or cost) realized by the respective Indemnified Parties arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Loss and (ii) increased to take account of any increase in insurance premiums following such insurance recovery.

(e) No Party’s indemnification obligations underSection 6.1 orSection 6.2 shall, in any event, include any obligation to compensate for lost profits or other consequential, special, incidental or indirect damages of any Indemnified Party or to pay any punitive damages awarded as a result of any misstatements or omissions of the indemnifying party.

(f) Except as otherwise provided herein, the remedies provided herein shall be cumulative and shall not preclude the assertion by any Party of any other rights or the seeking of any other remedies against the other Party.
