If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ made a Shamir Offer but ▇▇▇▇▇ is unable or unwilling to consummate the Second Put Option in accordance with such Shamir Offer within such three 3-month period, then: (i) Buyer shall have the right, if it wishes to, until the expiration of a 14-day period commencing upon expiration of the said three (3)-month period, to provide Shamir with a written offer to acquire the Put Shares on the terms and price set forth in such written offer (the “Ondas Acquisition Offer”), and (ii) Shamir shall have the discretion, within an additional 21 day period after delivery of the Ondas Acquisition Offer or exhaustion of the period during which Buyer may deliver such an Ondas Acquisition Offer without such an offer being delivered (the “Post Shamir Offer Decision”), to either notify Buyer in writing that (a) it is willing to forthwith sell the Put Shares to Buyer in accordance with the Ondas Acquisition Offer or (b) it is not willing to forthwith sell the Put Shares to Buyer in accordance with the Ondas Acquisition Offer and is not interested to commence Forced Sale process either, or (c) if Ondas Acquisition Offer is not acceptable or if Buyer did not provide any such offer, to force Buyer, to commence process of the sale of the Company to a third-party buyer (the “Forced Sale”) within the next 9 months from the said ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s written notice, pursuant to the below:
i. | The Buyer shall cooperate and shall cause the Company to cooperate with all that is required for the purpose of advancing the Forced Sale process, including providing any information reasonably required by the potential buyer in order to consummate such Forced Sale and to provide such potential buyer, under the applicable definitive agreements, with representations and warranties as customarily made in these kind of transactions. |
ii. | If as part of the said Forced Sale process, any third party will make an offer for the acquisition of the Company for valuation higher than the valuation of which the Ondas Acquisition Offer based and lower than the Evaluation on which the Shamir Offer was made, then ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the discretion to force Buyer to consummate the sale of the Company to that third-party offeror. |
iii. | If as part of the said Forced Sale process, any third party will make an offer for the acquisition of the Company for valuation higher than the Evaluation on which the Shamir Offer was made, then the Company shall be sold to such third party (unless otherwise mutually agreed by both ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ at their sole discretion). |
10
(4) Updated Evaluation. If Shamir did not commence a Forced Sale process (either as a result of a Post Evaluation Decision or a Post Shamir Offer Decision, as applicable), then Shamir shall have the right, within the 12-month period following the date on which the pre Forced Sale process was exhausted (i.e., the last day for the Post Evaluation Decision or the Post Shamir Offer Decision, as applicable, even if such 12-month period is ending following June 30, 2029) to ask Buyer to trigger again the Second Put Option as provided under Sections 2.8(a)(ii)(1) through (3) above, and seek for such purpose an updated evaluation for the Company from the Third Party Evaluator (the “Updated Evaluation”), only that this time Shamir shall have the right to choose from the following (and the Forced Sale mechanism, shall not apply): (i) if Buyer makes an updated offer to purchase Shamir’s Put Shares (“Updated Ondas Acquisition Offer”) - sell the Put Shares to Buyer in accordance with the Updated Ondas Acquisition Offer within 30 days after receipt of the Updated Ondas Acquisition Offer, as provided above; or, (ii) if Updated Ondas Acquisition Offer is not acceptable or if Buyer did not provide any such offer - buy all of Ondas’ securities in the Company in accordance with the Updated Evaluation made under this Section 2.8(a)(ii)(4) within 30 days from either the date of which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ received the Updated Ondas Acquisition Offer or the date on which Ondas’ right to make an Updated Ondas Acquisition Offer has expired. Assuming ▇▇▇▇▇▇ did not exercise either the foregoing (i) or (ii) by the last day set forth therein, then at the end of such last day (the “Last Day”) Shamir shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived the Second Put Option. If Shamir shall buy Ondas’ securities in the Company in accordance to section 2.8(a)(ii)(4)), Buyer shall execute a customary share purchase agreement containing substantially the same representations and warranties similar to those detailed under Article 5 hereto and appropriate share transfer deeds and such other technical instruments required in order to accommodate such sale.
(iii) The consideration payable by Buyer to Shamir upon the consummation of either the First Put Option or the Second Put Option shall be paid in cash, provided however, that Buyer may choose, in its sole discretion, in lieu of such cash payment of the consideration, to issue to Shamir Ondas Registrable Securities, based on the applicable Ondas Stock PPS.
(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be entitled to exercise the First Put Option or the Second Put Option only once, except as specifically stated under sub-section 2.8(a)(ii)(4).

(b) Buyer’s Call Option
(i) In the event that the Second Put Option is exhausted without being exercised for whatever reason, then Buyer shall have the right, within the following 18-month period commencing on the Last Day (“Call Option Period”), to require Shamir to sell all (and not less than all) of the remaining Put Shares held by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ on such date in consideration for the amount reflecting Company’s valuation on a cash free-debt free basis of NIS 200,000,000, and without any additional consideration for any Capital Notes sold as part of the Call Option (provided the Parties agree and acknowledge that such sale may only occur in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Amended Articles), payable in cash only (the “Call Option”).
(ii) Buyer shall have the right to elect, during the Call Option Period, in its sole discretion, to exercise the Call Option by providing Shamir with a written notice of such election (“Call Option Notice”). The consummation of the Call Option (the “Call Option Closing”) shall occur as soon as possible thereafter, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall execute the Put Agreement in connection with the consummation of the Call Option, and shall deliver to Buyer the Put Shares free and clear of all liens.
(c) It is agreed and acknowledged that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be liable for any and all taxes applicable to Shamir in connection with the consideration payable by Buyer to Shamir under either of the exercise of the First Put Option, the Second Put Option or the Call Option, as applicable, and that the withholding provisions specified under Section 2.10 below shall apply to such consideration, mutatis mutandis. It is agreed and acknowledged that Buyer shall be liable to any and all taxes applicable to Buyer in connection with the consideration payable by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to Buyer under the exercise of the Second Put Option.

11
(e) The Parties further agree and acknowledge that when consummating the First Put Option, the Second Put Option and/or the Call Option, it is the intention of the Parties that the shares of the Company held by the Minority Shareholder shall be sold jointly with the Put Shares of Shamir and shall be treated equally, provided that the Minority Shareholder shall sell his shares under the same terms and conditions as Shamir, and shall be bound by the same obligations and provisions, including without limitation, withholding of Taxes provisions which shall apply to the Minority Shareholder, mutatis mutandis (except that if the Minority Shareholder does not provide a Questionnaire by the Closing, then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Ondas shall be entitled to pay any consideration due to him pursuant to the First Put Option and/or the Second Put Option in cash, even if Shamir is being paid in Ondas Stock). Without derogating from any of the other undertakings and obligations of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and specifically under Section 2.8, Shamir shall use and effect the Minority Shareholder Proxy in order to facilitate such sale by the Minority Shareholder in accordance with the provisions hereof.
2.9 Ondas Stock.
(a) Without derogating in any manner from the obligations of Buyer in connection with the issuance of Ondas Registrable Stock, where applicable, any Ondas Stock issued herewith, if any, including without limitation, on account of payment of the Contingent Consideration and/or the First Put Option and/or the Second Put Option shall be issued in book-entry form and shall bear the following legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, UNLESS PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION UNDER ANY SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein the contrary, the Parties agree and acknowledge that Ondas shall not be required or obliged to file with the SEC a resale registration statement on Form S-3 prior to September 30, 2025 (and for the avoidance of any doubt, prior to September 30, 2025, any consideration due to Shamir from Buyer herewith, if any, shall be payable in cash).
(c) Exchange Procedures. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, (i) the aggregate Ondas Stock to be issued in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder shall not exceed 19.99% of the outstanding Ondas Stock on the execution date of this Agreement (and for the prevention of any doubt, any additional consideration due to Shamir from Buyer herewith, if any, shall be payable in cash); and (ii) in no event shall Ondas be required to issue any shares of Ondas Stock to Shamir, if Shamir is not an Accredited Investor; (iii) no fraction of a share of Ondas Stock shall be issued in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder, and there shall not be any cash payments made under this Agreement in lieu of fractional shares; the aggregate number of shares of Ondas Stock issuable to Shamir shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.
(d) No Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein no interest shall accumulate on any cash or Ondas Stock payable in connection with the consummation of the purchase of the Purchased Shares.

2.10 Withholding; Additional Matters. To the extent Ondas is required to withhold taxes with respect to any payment made to Shamir under this Agreement (including for the consideration payable by Buyer to Shamir on account of the Contingent Consideration and/or under the exercise of either the First Put Option, the Second Put Option and/or the Call Option), Ondas shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable under this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold under Israeli applicable Law respecting Taxes. To the extent that any amount is so deducted and withheld, it shall be remitted to the applicable Taxing authority, and such deducted and withheld amount shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Shamir in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of Israeli Tax, if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ provided to the Buyer a Valid Certificate at least five (5) Business Days prior to making any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement, then the withholding (if any) of any amounts from the consideration payable to Shamir and the payment of the consideration or any portion thereof, shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Valid Certificate. A “Valid Certificate” shall be a certificate or ruling issued by the ITA which is sufficient to enable Buyer to reasonably conclude, that no withholding (or reduced withholding) of Israeli Tax is required with respect to the payment to ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Buyer shall provide to Shamir certifications evidencing any amounts withheld as Tax withholding from any payments made to Shamir. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that, in accordance with the provisions hereof, any consideration or payment is paid to Shamir in Ondas Stock, and, following ▇▇▇▇▇’s written request, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ fails to transfer to Buyer or Ondas Holdings, as applicable, the cash amount required to be withheld in connection with such consideration, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such Ondas Stock, shall be issued only subject to Shamir delivery to the Buyer or Ondas Holdings the required amount in cash to be so deducted.
