-19-

(b) The indemnity obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be further limited in the following manner:

(i) Threshold Amount. No liability of the Kibbutz under Section 7.2(a)(i) or 7.2(a)(ii) shall arise, and no Purchaser Indemnified Party will be entitled to indemnification from the Kibbutz, unless and until the cumulative amount of such Losses allegedly due to it under Section 7.2(a)(i) and 7.2(ii) together exceeds $100,000 (the “Threshold”), in which event Shamir Holding shall be responsible for the aggregate amount of such Losses on a first-dollar basis (i.e., without taking account of the Threshold amount). For the purposes of determining whether the Threshold has been reached, (i) any Loss resulting from any breach of representation or warranty shall be calculated by disregarding any materiality qualification of any kind contained in any such representation or warranty, including without limitation any Company Material Adverse Effect qualification or Kibbutz Material Adverse Effect limitation and (ii) any and all Losses incurred by any and all Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be aggregated for the purpose of determining whether the Threshold has been reached.

(ii) Maximum Liability. The maximum liability of the Kibbutz under Section 7.2(a)(ii) and 7.2(a)(iv) to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be equal to $18.0 million (eighteen million U.S. dollars) (the “Initial Maximum Liability Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initial Maximum Liability Amount shall be increased by 100% to $36.0 million (thirty six million U.S. dollars) (the “Final Maximum Liability Amount”) if at any time Shamir Holding shall exercise, under the Shareholders’ Agreement, a Deadlock Put (as such term is defined in the Shareholders Agreement) and a Claim has arisen prior to such exercise and is still pending at the time of such exercise with respect to any matter for which a Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to receive indemnification hereunder. The Escrow Amount shall be included in the Initial Maximum Liability Amount and the Final Maximum Liability Amount and shall not, and shall not be deemed to, increase or decrease either such amount.

(iii) Sole Remedy. Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions in this Article VII shall be the sole remedy available to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under this Agreement (and any certificate issued pursuant to this Agreement).

(iv) No Punitive Damages. Without derogating from the limitations in this Section 7.3, in no event shall the Kibbutz be liable for any punitive damages (except to the extent that any such amounts arise from a third party claim only).

(v) No Non-Party Recourse. No claim may be brought or maintained by any Purchaser Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or its respective successors or permitted assigns against any officer, director, employee (present or former), member, or agent of Shamir Holding or the Kibbutz, and no recourse shall be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Shamir Holding or the Kibbutz hereto set forth or contained in this Agreement or any Exhibit or Schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder.

-20-

(vi) Insurance Payments and Limitations on Indemnification. In determining the amount of any Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to assert a claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount of any such Losses will be determined after deducting therefrom, net the amount of any insurance proceeds (after giving effect to any applicable deductible or retention and resulting retrospective or other premium adjustment) actually received by such Purchaser Indemnified Parties in respect of such Losses, in each case net of costs and expenses incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Parties or their Affiliates.

(c) None of the limitations set forth in this Section 7.3 shall apply in respect of any indemnifiable matter set forth in Section 7.2(b).

(d) The Threshold shall not apply in respect of the Specific Indemnifiable Matters, or in respect of any breach by the Kibbutz or the Company, as applicable, of the following representations and warranties: (i) Sections 3.3 (Shamir Holding; Share Capital), 3.6 (No Liabilities) or 3.8 (Certain Costs and Expenses) of this Agreement, and (ii) Section 4.2 (Ownership of Subsidiaries), Section 4.3(a), 4.3(b)(ii) and 4.3(c) (Share Capital), or Section 4.16 (Tax Matters) of the Merger Agreement.

(e) For the purposes of clarity, the amount of Losses, if any, paid or payable to any Purchaser Indemnified Party based on the indemnifiable matters set forth in Section 7.2(b), or based on the Specific Indemnifiable Matters, shall not be reduced based on any disclosure in either the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Kibbutz Disclosure Schedule or otherwise.

(f) Nothing in this Section 7.3, or in any provision of this Agreement, shall or is intended to limit the rights of any party in case of fraud or willful misconduct of any other party or any of their respective officers, directors or employees.

7.4 Escrow; Dividend Payments; Offset. Any payment that the Kibbutz is obligated to make to any Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.2(a) and 7.2(b) will be paid (i) first, to the extent there are sufficient funds in the Escrow Account, by release of funds to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from the Escrow Account within five Business Days after the final determination of the amount of such payment pursuant to and in accordance with this Article VII and the Escrow Agreement, (ii) second, to the extent the Escrow Amount is insufficient to pay any remaining sums due in respect of such indemnity payment, by payment to Essilor of the Dividend Payments (until, if applicable, the Initial Maximum Liability Amount or Final Maximum Liability Amount is reached) as set forth in Section 7.5, and (iii) third, at any time, as an offset (the “Offset”) against any amounts payable to the Kibbutz as a result of the purchase and sale resulting from a Deadlock Put (as such term is defined in the Shareholders Agreement). The Kibbutz shall not be liable to indemnify Essilor for any Losses in respect of Section 7.2(a) and 7.2(b) other than through payments of the Escrow Amount and the Dividend Payments, and as an Offset against any amounts payable to the Kibbutz as a result of the purchase and sale resulting from a Deadlock Put. Within five Business Days following the Expiration Date, the Escrow Amount will be released (to the extent not utilized to pay the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any indemnification claim) to the Kibbutz in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, except that an amount will be retained (up to the total amount then held in the Escrow Account) equal to the amount of claims for indemnification under this Article VII

-21-

asserted prior to the Expiration Date but not yet resolved (“Unresolved Claims”). The Escrow Amount retained for Unresolved Claims will be released (to the extent not utilized to pay the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any such claims resolved in favor of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties) upon their resolution in accordance with this Article VII and the Escrow Agreement.

7.5 Right to Dividend Payments. Each of the parties hereto agrees that 50% of the annual dividends payable by Shamir Holding to the Kibbutz with respect to any equity interest held by the Kibbutz or any of its Affiliates in Shamir Holding (such 50% amount, the “Dividend Payments”) will be (x) paid to any Purchaser Indemnified Parties to satisfy any obligation of the Kibbutz pursuant to this Article VII that is not paid out of the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 7.4, until all such obligations of the Kibbutz are satisfied, and (y) paid, to the extent that there are any pending unsatisfied Escrow Claims (as defined below), into an escrow account, pursuant to an escrow agreement to be entered into by the parties (and paid or released in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement), or if no escrow agreement is entered into, set aside by Shamir Holding in a reserved “lock box” interest bearing account, not to be used (including by pledging, granting as security or otherwise encumbering) for any purpose. For the purposes of clarity, the Kibbutz shall be entitled to retain the remaining 50% of the annual dividends payable by Shamir Holding to the Kibbutz with respect to any equity interest held by the Kibbutz or any of its Affiliates in Shamir Holding. For the purposes hereof, an “Escrow Claim” shall mean (i) any Claim directed only against the Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates, other than the Company, or any Purchaser Indemnified Party), and not on the Company, and (ii) any Claim directed against both the Purchaser and the Company but with respect to which the Company has not, within 60 days after the Claim Notice, assumed in writing full responsibility for the Claim and any Losses of the Purchaser, including any costs and expenses payable pursuant to Section 7.7(f). If required, the Purchaser and the Kibbutz will cause the Company to assume liability for any such Claim.

7.6 Notification of Claims. If the Purchaser shall have a claim under Section 7.1, the Purchaser shall promptly give notice to the Kibbutz of the claim (the “Claim Notice”), specifying whether such claim is based on a third party claim (directed against the Purchaser, any Purchaser Indemnified Party or the Company) (a “Third Party Claim”), or based on a claim that is not a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”, and with a Third Party Claim, a “Claim”). The Claim Notice shall specify with reasonable detail the nature of the Third Party Claim or the Claim (to the extent that the information is known) including (i) the factual basis for the Claim, and the provisions of the Agreement, or of any applicable Law, relied upon in making the Claim, and (ii) a breakdown of Losses included in the Claim, the basis for any anticipated liability, and to the extent computable, the computation of the amount to which the Purchaser claims to be entitled.

7.7 Procedure for Indemnification by the Kibbutz.

(a) Following receipt of a Claim Notice with respect to a Direct Claim, the Kibbutz shall have 30 days to make such investigation of the Direct Claim as it considers necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Purchaser shall make available to the Kibbutz the information relied upon by the Purchaser to substantiate the Direct Claim. If the Purchaser and the Kibbutz agree on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period (or any extension thereof agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Kibbutz), as to the amount to be paid to

-22-

the Purchaser under the Claim Notice, the Kibbutz shall pay or cause to be paid the amount of such liability to the Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the Direct Claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Direct Claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined. If requested by the Kibbutz, the Purchaser and the Kibbutz shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum setting forth their agreement. If the Purchaser and the Kibbutz do not agree within such period (or within any mutually agreed extension thereof), the Purchaser shall be entitled to bring any action to enforce its rights.

Third Party Claim is directed against both the Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates, other than the Company, or any Purchaser Indemnified Party) and the Company, and the Purchaser has incurred costs and expenses for which no Escrow Amount, Dividend Payments or Offset is available, the Company shall advance such costs and expenses to the Purchaser until such time as the Dividend Payments or the Offset (as applicable) become available.

(g) At the Purchaser’s sole discretion, and without prejudice to the Purchaser’s right to pursue any other remedy in law or equity, the Purchaser may refer any dispute hereunder to the Special Operating Committee (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) for consideration, review and issuance of a non-binding recommendation. The Special Operating Committee shall issue its non-binding recommendation within 30 days after submission of the question or, if it is unable to reach a recommendation, shall inform the parties that it is unable to reach a recommendation.

Legal Opinion (re purchase and sale of shares)

Schedule 1

Specific Indemnifiable Matters

Zeiss

Description: The Company received notice from ▇▇▇▇ Zeiss Vision Inc. (“Zeiss”) on September [ ], 2003 asserting a claim of patent infringement relating to lenses. The Company denies any such infringement. Zeiss is seeking a flat fee payment in addition to royalties on products sold. Zeiss and Shamir Optical Industries entered into an Agreement of Confidential and Proprietary Information dated February 4, 2010 (the “Agreement”), which expires 2 years from the date of the Agreement, if not terminated sooner by either party, but which is not related to the above-mentioned 2003 letter and is not in settlement of the claim of patent infringement alleged by Zeiss in 2003. It only provides that the parties intend to explore possible business collaborations, including with respect to “Teflon AR coating, joint laboratory ventures, contract manufacturing, promoting eyeside freeform and customized lenses, OEM product opportunities, co-development of products and other areas of potential interest.”

Survival of indemnity: until the applicable Zeiss patents expire.

Inray

Commencing January 2008, the Company received correspondence from the Technion Institute for Research and Development Ltd. (“Technion”), a co-shareholder together with the Company and the other two co-shareholders of Inray ( Profs. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) in Inray Ltd. (“Inray”) alleging that technology owned by Inray was being improperly used by the Company, and that the Company had made improper use of the Technion’s name. Commencing as of February 2010, the Technion and the Profs. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ exchanged correspondence with the Company regarding alleged dysfunctional operation of board of directors and shareholder functions in Inray. This dispute appears to be an outgrowth of the more fundamental dispute over the operation and activities of Inray. The parties are currently in mediation proceedings and are also trying to resolve their differences by means outside of the mediation proceedings.

Survival of indemnity: Until final judgment on the claims raised, and thereafter (if longer) until the expiration of the representations and warranties related to Intellectual Property.
