ARTICLE 8 - COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS FOLLOWING TO CLOSING
8.1 Restrictive Covenants. Without derogating from, and in addition to, and without derogating from, any undertaking under the Shareholder Employment Agreement in effect following the Closing (or any former employment agreement of the Shareholder), the Shareholders undertakes and agrees towards the Company and the Buyer, effective commencing as of the Closing, as follows:
(a) Confidentiality. To keep secret and to treat with confidentiality the Confidential Information and not to disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity whatsoever or to use any Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever, except for the benefit of the Company and only in performance of their duties on behalf of the Company (if applicable), provided however, that in the event that any of the Shareholders shall be legally required (by formal questioning by any Governmental Authority, or, in the written opinion of his/its legal counsel, by applicable Law) to disclose any Confidential Information, such Shareholder shall immediately notify the Buyer and the Company of such request or requirement prior to disclosure so that the Buyer or the Company may seek an appropriate protective order with the reasonable assistance of such Shareholder. If such order is not timely obtained, only such portion of the Confidential Information as specifically required shall be disclosed.
(b) Non-Compete. Each of the Shareholders undertakes that during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending upon the 4th anniversary of the Closing Date (“Restricted Period”), such Shareholder will not compete in the Company Business anywhere in the world. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “compete” shall mean engaging or having any interest, directly or indirectly through any Affiliate, partnership, joint venture or agent (other than the Buyer or the Company), for its own account or as an owner, shareholder, operator, manager, employee, officer, director, partner, venture partner, investor, advisor, consultant or similar capacity of or to any Person; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit (i) the ownership of up to two percent (2%) of any class of securities of a company that is publicly traded on a recognized securities exchange, or (ii) passive investment in a venture capital or private equity fund not primarily engaged in the Company Business and over which such Shareholder does not have control or management authority, or (iii) employment or consulting activities that are not directly competitive with the Company Business.
(c) Non-Solicitation. During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending upon expiration of the Restricted Period, each of the Shareholders covenants and agrees not to: (i) solicit, seek to employ or seek to retain the services of any Person who is at that time or was within the previous two (2) years providing services to the Company, as an employee, consultant or contractor, or employee of such a consultant or contractor (any such Person, a “Subject Person”), (ii) persuade, induce or attempt to persuade or induce any Subject Person to leave his/her employment or to refrain from providing services to such party or (iii) cause or authorize any Person to do any of the foregoing. Provided, however, that general solicitations not specifically directed to Subject Persons shall not constitute a breach of this Section (e).
(d) Non-Disparagement & Non-Interfere. Shareholders agree that each of them will not, and will cause their respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, make or publish any statement or communication which is false or disparaging with respect to the Buyer, the Company, their respective Affiliates or any direct or indirect shareholders, officers, directors, members, managers, employees or agents. Shareholders further agree that during the Restricted Period each of them will not, and will cause their respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, induce, or attempt to induce, any consultant, contractor, sub-contractor, customer, client, distributor, supplier, vendor, manufacturer, representative, agent, venturer, co-venturer or other Person transacting business with the Company to reduce or cease doing business with the Company, or in any way to interfere with the relationship between any such Person, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand.
(e) Enforcement. The Parties intend that the provisions of this Section 8.1 be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under applicable Law in each jurisdiction where enforcement may be sought, and that the unenforceability of any provision shall not impair the remainder of this Section 8.1. If any court determines that the restrictions are unreasonable, the Parties agree that such court may substitute the maximum reasonable period, scope or geographic area and revise the restrictions to cover the maximum extent permitted by law. The Shareholder acknowledges that these restrictive covenants, including their duration, are necessary to protect the proprietary interests and legitimate business interests of the other Parties, and that the Aggregate Purchase Price constitutes consideration for the Shareholder’s obligations under this Section 8.1(e).
(f) The Shareholders expressly acknowledge that the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 8.1, including the duration of such covenants, are necessary in order to protect and maintain the proprietary interests and other legitimate business interests of the other Parties, and that the Aggregate Purchase Price hereunder, payable to the Shareholders, and any components thereof, are consideration, inter alia, for the Shareholders’ obligations and undertakings under this Section 8.1. The covenants and obligations of the Parties set forth in this Section 8.1 shall be construed as independent of any other provision herein and of any other agreement or arrangement among the Parties and the existence of any claim or cause of action by any Party against any other Party or any of their Affiliates, whether based on another provision of this Agreement or a separate agreement, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of such covenants or obligations against such Party.
8.2 Waiver of Claims.
(a) In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, commencing as of, and subject to, the Closing, each of the Shareholders (on behalf of himself and any of his successors, heirs, assigns, executors and administrators) hereby irrevocably releases and forever discharges the Buyer and the Company, HoldCo and, the Parent and their respective Affiliates, predecessors, directors, officers, employees and agents, and each of their respective successors, heirs, assigns, executors and administrators (collectively, the “Buyer Released Persons”) of and from any and all manner of action and actions, cause and causes of action, suits, rights, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, bonds, bills, covenants, contracts, controversies, omissions, promises, variances, trespasses, damages, judgments, executions, claims and demands whatsoever, in law or in equity (collectively, “Shareholder Claims”) which such Shareholder ever had and now has, or may have in the future in connection with any events or circumstances occurring prior to the Closing Date against the Buyer Released Persons, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent, for, upon or by reason of any state of facts or matter relating to the Shareholder and the Company or HoldCo (whether in his capacity as a shareholder, officer, director or employee, or any other capacity or pursuant to the provisions of any Contract or the provisions of applicable Law) or this Agreement (other than as specifically provided for herein), all to the extent arising at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, and the Buyer Released Persons shall not have liability with respect thereto, provided however the aforementioned shall not apply with respect to any Shareholders Claims in any kind whatsoever in connection with, or in relation to the performance (or nonperformance) by Buyer (or anyone acting on its behalf, including Parent) of its obligations and undertakings in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement including section 7.4.
ARTICLE 9 - SURVIVAL; INDEMNITY; LIMITATIONS
9.1 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing for 18 months thereafter (“Rep Indemnifications Period”); provided, however, that the representations and warranties of the Company under: (i) Section 4.7 (Intellectual Property) shall survive the Closing for 36 months thereafter (the “IP Rep”; and (ii) Sections 4.1 (Existence; Corporate Authority), 4.2 (Consents and Approvals; No Violation), 4.3 (Capitalization), 4.13 (Taxes; Assessments), 4.18 (Broker Finder Expenses) and the Shareholders’ representations under Sections 5.1 (Legal Capacity; Authority), 5.2 (No Conflict), 5.3 (Ownership and Title) and 5.9 (Acquisition of Ondas Stock) and the Closing Financial Certificate (“Fundamental Representations”) shall survive the Closing until thirty (30) days following the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the subject matter underlying such Fundamental Representation (after giving effect to the pendency of any litigation or dispute resolution process in relation thereto); all except for claims for any Damages resulting from fraud or willful representation. All covenants and agreements to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing Date shall survive until thirty days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. The right to indemnification hereunder shall not be limited or affected by any diligence conducted or knowledge acquired by any Party, before or after the execution of this Agreement or the Closing provided that in the event such written notice is not followed by a law suit within 180 days with respect to Buyer claims or within 180 days with respect to third Party claims, following the date on which such written notice was first received the applicable claim in respect of which indemnity is sought under this Section 9 shall expire in accordance with the applicable survival period set forth under this Section 9.1.
9.2 Indemnification.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Agreement or applicable law and, subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE 9, the Shareholders, severally and not jointly (pro-rata between them in accordance with the respective portion of the Aggregate Purchase Price, and each up to his pro rata portion in the Aggregate Purchase Price) (“Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Buyer and its officers, shareholders, directors, employees and Affiliates (“Indemnified Parties”) against any and all direct and actual liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), provided, however, that the foregoing shall not include any consequential or punitive damages, unless actually paid by the Indemnified Parties as a result of a claim made by any third parties and for which such Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article 9 (“Damages”), incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Parties in any way as a result of, relating to or arising out of: (i) any failure of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or in any certificate, Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement (specifically excluding the Shareholder Employment Agreement and the Closing Financial Certificate, the “Ancillary Agreements”) made by the Company, HoldCo or the Shareholders, to be true and correct as of the Closing (as if made at the Closing); (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of the Company, HoldCo or the Shareholders in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; (iii) inaccuracies in the Closing Financial Certificate. For the sole purpose of determining Damages (and not for determining whether a breach of a representation or warranty has occurred), the representations and warranties of the Company, HoldCo and the Shareholder shall be deemed to not be qualified or limited by any references to materiality or material adverse effect; and (iv) any claim, action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) brought against the Company or any of its directors or officers (in their capacities as such) following the Closing, to the extent arising out of or relating to acts, omissions or decisions of any director or officer of the Company in the performance of their duties solely during the period prior to the Closing Date “Pre-Closing D&O Matters”); (v) any claim, action, suit or proceeding brought by or on behalf of Nir in connection with his employment by the Company prior to the Closing Date, including without limitation with respect to payment of any amounts or social benefits or consideration of any kind (exceeding the then outstanding amounts recorded in the Company’s books and/or accumulated in any benefit plans or funds in Nir’s name) with respect to the period prior to the Closing Date; and (vi) any claim, action, suit, proceeding or indebtedness brought against the Company or HoldCo or any of their affiliates in connection with HoldCo’s previous holdings of Green Road Management and Entrepreneurship Ltd.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Agreement or applicable law, the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) (other than claims for any Damages resulting from breach of the Fundamental Representations or fraud or willful misrepresentation in connection with which the limitations below shall not apply) until the aggregate amount of all such Damages that would otherwise be indemnifiable exceeds USD85,000 (the “General Basket”), at which time the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for the full amount of all Damages (including all Damages incurred prior to exceeding the Basket, subject to the limitation in subsection (d) below.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Agreement or applicable law, the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(iii) (other than claims for any Damages resulting from fraud or willful misrepresentation in connection with which the limitations herein shall not apply), until the aggregate amount of all such Damages that would otherwise be indemnifiable exceeds USD 100,000, (“Financial Basket”) at which time the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for the full amount of all Damages.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) the aggregate liability of the Shareholders solely under Section 9.2(a)(i) for breaches of representations and warranties (other than the Fundamental Representations or fraud or willful misrepresentation) shall not exceed, in the aggregate, twenty percent (20%) of the Aggregate Purchase Price or with respect to the IP Rep - fifty percent (50%) of the Aggregate Purchase Price, allocated among the Shareholders each up to its pro rata share of the Aggregate Purchase Price actually received by each; and (ii) in no event (other than fraud or intentional misrepresentation) shall the maximum liability of each Shareholder exceed such Shareholder’s respective portion of the Aggregate Purchase Price actually received by such Shareholder. Subject to the actual consummation of either the Call Option or Put Option, the value of the consideration paid or payable for such exercise shall be added to the Aggregate Purchase Price for purpose of calculating the maximum liability and corresponding indemnification hereunder. For avoidance of any doubt, (i) in case of the Fundamental Representations and the indemnifiable matters set forth under Section 9.2(a)(ii) through (vi), the aggregate liability of the Shareholders shall only be limited by the Aggregate Purchase Price actually received by each Shareholder (and up to each pro rata portion thereof) and (a) the General Basket shall not apply, (b) the Financial Basket will apply to the Closing Financial Certificate; and (ii) no limitation whatsoever shall apply in case of fraud or willful misrepresentation.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Agreement or applicable law, following the Closing, the rights of any Indemnified Party to recover any amounts pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Indemnified Parties for any breaches by either the Company, HoldCo and/or the Shareholders of any representation and warranty in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, except for liabilities arising out of or based on fraud or willful misrepresentation and, for the avoidance of doubt, equitable remedies to enforce their obligations under this Agreement.
(f) In no event shall the Indemnifying Party seek contribution or any other legal, financial or equitable relief from the Company, HoldCo or any of their Affiliates in respect of such Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations.
(g) Any indemnification obligation of a Shareholder that is satisfied, in whole or in part, through the delivery, transfer or forfeiture of any shares of Parent Common Stock issued as part of the Aggregate Purchase Price shall be determined and valued based on the fair market value of such shares on the date the applicable indemnification payment is made. For this purpose, “fair market value” means the VWAP of the Parent Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq (or such other principal exchange on which such stock is then listed) on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date such payment is made. Each Shareholder shall have the sole election, in its discretion, to satisfy any indemnification obligation (i) by transferring to Buyer a number of shares of Parent Common Stock having an aggregate fair market value equal to the amount of such obligation, or (ii) by selling such shares in the open market and remitting to Buyer the corresponding net cash proceeds (a “sell-to-cover” transaction). Notwithstanding any lock-up, legend, or transfer restriction applicable to the Equity Consideration, each Shareholder shall be permitted, and Buyer shall remove any lock-up, legend, or transfer restriction, if required, solely for the limited purpose of funding or satisfying any indemnification obligation hereunder, to sell or otherwise dispose of such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as is necessary to effect such sell-to-cover transaction, provided that such sale complies with applicable securities laws. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the option to settle indemnification obligations by Parent Common Stock shall only be available to the extent selling or otherwise disposing of securities at a given time would not violate applicable law, including US securities laws and, if applicable to such selling shareholder, the Buyer’s Insider Trading Policy.
9.3 Consideration Adjustment. The Parties agree that any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Aggregate Purchase Price for any purpose whatsoever, including Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.
9.4 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Shareholders shall not have any liability for any Damages to the extent the matter giving rise to such Damages is explicitly reserved against in the Financial Statements or disclosed with specificity including with respect to the amount and possibility of Damages in the Disclosure Schedules or in the Closing Financial Certificate.
9.5 Certain Tax Exclusions and Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in other Transaction Documents, (i) the Shareholders shall not be liable for Taxes of the Company Parties and/or any of their Subsidiaries relating to a period after the Closing Date, (ii), and indemnification under this Section 9.5 shall not apply to any Taxes that result from (A) any action or omission of Buyer or the Company Parties or any of their Subsidiaries, after the Closing Date that is not in accordance with past practice, unless required by applicable Law, which has the effect of creating or increasing Taxes for any period prior to the Closing Date or any cancellation or denial of use of loss carryforwards, if any, or (B) any Taxes arising as a result of the filing of an amended Tax Return that is not in accordance with past practices as finally determined in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement.
9.6 Third-Party Claims. In the event Buyer becomes aware of a claim by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) that Buyer believes in good faith may result in a claim for indemnifiable Damages under this Article ARTICLE 9 by or on behalf of the Indemnified Parties, it shall promptly notify the Shareholders of such Third-Party Claim and the basis for such belief (“Indemnification Notice”); provided, however, that neither such notice nor the Shareholders denial of such believe shall be construed as an admission by the Shareholders of such belief. Upon receipt of the Indemnification Notice, the Shareholders shall have ten (10) calendar days after said notice is given to elect, by written notice given to the Buyer, to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Buyer, and at the Shareholder’s sole expense, the good faith defense of such claim; provided that: (a) such Third-Party Claim does not involve or relate to any criminal proceeding and is not in connection with the IP Rep, (b) the Shareholders acknowledge in writing that the claim is subject to full indemnification hereunder without any limitation whatsoever, and (c) Buyer, Parent or any of their affiliates are not named in such claim and the defense of 30 such claim would not reasonably be expected in the opinion of Buyer to adversely affect the business reputation of the Buyer or the Company. The Buyer shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Third Party Claim and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not constitute indemnifiable Damages subject to indemnification under Section 9.2. Notwithstanding, if the Shareholders failed to timely undertake to conduct and control the defense the Buyer shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of and to settle or resolve such Third-Party Claim (and the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with such defense, settlement or resolution (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court costs) shall be included in the indemnifiable Damages for which Buyer may seek indemnification pursuant to a claim made hereunder, and such costs and expenses shall constitute indemnifiable Damages subject to indemnification under Section 9.2, to the extent it is ultimately determined that such Third-Party Claim arose out of, resulted from or was in connection with a matter listed in Section 9.2). The Shareholders shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to such Third-Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege relating to any Indemnified Person, subject to execution by the Shareholders of Buyer’s (and, if required, such third party’s) non-disclosure agreement to the extent that such materials contain confidential or propriety information. If the Buyer controls the defense of such Third Party Claim, then : (i) the Shareholders may participate in (but not control) such Third-Party Claim or any action related to such Third-Party Claim; (ii) the Shareholders shall not be liable for any settlement of such Third Party Claim effected without their consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which consent shall be deemed to have been given if the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Damages under Article 9.2 (including such settlement and related expenses) or is less than the aggregate amount of the Basket and the Financial Basket, unless the Shareholders shall have objected within ten (10) Business Days after a written request therefor by Buyer; or (iii) if the Shareholders shall have been determined by a court to have unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed its consent; then the Shareholders shall not have any power or authority to object to any claim by or on behalf of any Indemnified Parties against an Indemnifying Party for indemnity with respect to such settlement or resolution.
In the event that the Shareholders control the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Shareholders shall keep Buyer informed of all proceedings and matters related to handling such Third Party Claim, and shall not settle such Third Party Claim without the consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
9.7 Insurance Coverage. In determining the amount of Damages in respect of a claim under ARTICLE 9 there shall be deducted an amount equal to the amount of any third-party insurance proceeds actually received (net of direct collection expenses) by an Indemnified Party making such claim with respect to such Damages less the cost of any increase in insurance premiums over the projected period of such increase as a result of making a claim for such Damages, provided that the foregoing shall not (i) require an Indemnified Party to maintain any insurance or to seek action or recovery from any such third party as a requirement hereunder or as a condition to seeking or recovering indemnification from any Indemnitor hereunder, or (ii) be construed or interpreted as a guaranty of any level or amount of insurance recovery with respect to any Damages hereunder.
ARTICLE 10 - TERM AND TERMINATION
This Agreement shall become effective as of the date hereof and thereafter shall remain in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof. This Agreement shall be terminated only prior to the Closing, upon the first to occur of the following events: (a) the written agreement of the Shareholders, the Company, HoldCo and the Buyer, (b) upon a written notice by either the Shareholders, the Company, HoldCo or the Buyer to the other Parties, provided such Party making the notice is not in material breach of its obligations or representations hereunder, and provided such notice can only be made following the date which is forty-five (45) days from the date of this Agreement, to the extent that the Closing has not yet been consummated. The termination of this Agreement for any cause shall not in any way affect or be deemed to affect (i) any obligation of either party having accrued prior to the termination hereof or (ii) any right or obligation which, by its terms, is to survive the termination of this Agreement.

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Parent has entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, dated October 24, 2025 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), with 4M Defense Ltd., a company registered in the State of Israel, Chirokka Holding Ltd. a company registered in the State of Israel, Mr. Itzik Malka, and Mr. Nir Cohen; and
WHEREAS, in connection with the Share Purchase Agreement, the Parent may issue Common Stock, as consideration pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, covenants and agreements contained herein, and certain other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Resale Shelf Registration Rights.
(a) Registration Statement Covering Resale of Registrable Securities. The Parent shall use best efforts to prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Commission, immediately following the issuance of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by the holders of all of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders (the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”). The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3ASR or if such form is not available for purposes of registering the Registrable Securities, then a Form S-3 (“Form S-3”) or such other appropriate form permitting Registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by such Holders. The Parent shall use best efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective immediately upon filing with the Commission, or if not on Form S-3ASR as promptly as practicable upon filing of a Form S-3. Once the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is effective (the “Effective Date”), the Parent shall use best efforts to maintain the Resale Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the terms hereof and keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and shall cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be supplemented and amended (including post-effective amendments) to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, to ensure that another Registration Statement is available, under the Securities Act at all times until the first date on which there are no longer any Registrable Securities outstanding (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Holder to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the Effective Date for such Registration Statement (subject to restrictions provided in this Agreement and the Share Purchase Agreement and hereunder, including the Lock-Up Agreement), and shall provide that such Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holders, including in customary market and brokerage trades through any national exchange or over the counter market.
(b) Notification and Distribution of Materials. The Parent shall notify the Holders in writing of the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as soon as practicable, and in any event within one (1) Business Day after the Resale Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, and shall furnish to them, without charge, such number of copies of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the Prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary prospectus and all related amendments and supplements) and any documents incorporated by reference in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Securities in the manner described in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement.
(c) Amendments and Supplements. Subject to the provisions of Section 1(a) above, the Parent shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission from time to time such amendments and supplements to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all the Registrable Securities during the Effectiveness Period. If any Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 1(a) is filed on Form S-3 and thereafter the Parent becomes ineligible to use Form S-3 for secondary sales, the Parent shall promptly notify the Holders of such ineligibility and shall file with the Commission a shelf registration on Form S-1 or other appropriate form as promptly as practicable (but in all events no later than 30 days thereafter) to replace the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable and to cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective, and shall cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Resale Shelf Registration Statement is continuously available or, if not available, that another Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities; provided, however, that at any time the Parent once again becomes eligible to use Form S-3, the Parent shall, as promptly as practicable, cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall file a new replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is once again on Form S-3.
(d) Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 1, in the event the Commission informs the Parent that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Parent agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the Holders thereof and shall file amendments to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), on Form S-3, or if Form S-3 is not then available to the Parent for such registration statement, on such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Parent shall advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly-available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”), including without limitation, the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations D.29 and successor guidance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Parent used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities in accordance with the preceding sentence), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders’ amount of Registrable Securities must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders. In the event the Parent amends the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Parent shall file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Parent or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.
2. Registration Procedures. In connection with the Registration to be effected pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, the Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Parent shall as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) prepare in accordance with the Securities Act and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and file with the Commission a Registration Statement, and all amendments and supplements thereto and related prospectuses as may be necessary to comply with applicable securities laws, with respect to such Registrable Securities and use best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective immediately upon filing with the Commission, or if not on Form S-3ASR to become effective as promptly as practicable upon filing of a Form S-3 (provided that at least two (2) Business Days before filing a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Parent shall furnish to counsel selected by the Applicable Approving Party draft copies of all such documents proposed to be filed); (b) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities of (A) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (B) the receipt by the Parent or its counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (C) the effectiveness of each Registration Statement filed hereunder;
(c) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective during the Effectiveness Period and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;
(d) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities thereunder such number of copies of such Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus), each Free-Writing Prospectus and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller;
(e) during any period in which a prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, promptly file all documents required to be filed with the Commission, including pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Act;
(f) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register, qualify or secure an exemption from registration with respect to such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Applicable Approving Party reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller (provided that the Parent shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 2(f), (ii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction);
(g) promptly notify in writing each seller of such Registrable Securities (i) after it receives notice thereof, of the date and time when such Registration Statement and each post-effective amendment thereto has become effective or a prospectus or supplement to any prospectus relating to a Registration Statement has been filed and when any registration or qualification has become effective under a state securities or blue sky law or any exemption thereunder has been obtained, (ii) after receipt thereof, of any request by the Commission for the amendment or supplementing of such Registration Statement or prospectus or for additional information, and (iii) at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of any such seller, the Parent promptly shall prepare, file with the Commission and furnish to each such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (h) cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Parent are then listed and, if not so listed, to be listed on a securities exchange and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two market makers to register as such with respect to such Registrable Securities with FINRA;
(i) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement;
(j) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate and business documents and properties of the Parent as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Parent’s officers, managers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;
(k) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission;
(l) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Common Stock included in such Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order;
(m) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;
(n) cooperate with the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing securities to be sold under the Registration Statement;
(o) cooperate with each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA;
(p) provide a legal opinion of the Parent’s outside counsel, dated the effective date of such Registration Statement (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, the “Form of Opinion”), with respect to the Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included therein (including the preliminary prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such nature; (q) if the Parent files an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering any Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to remain a WKSI (and not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405)) during the Effectiveness Period;
(r) if an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement has been outstanding for at least three (3) years, at the end of the third year, refile a new Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities, and, if at any time when the Parent is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status the Parent determines that it is not a WKSI, use its commercially reasonable efforts to refile the registration statement on Form S-3 and keep such Registration Statement effective (including by filing a new Resale Shelf Registration Statement or replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, if necessary) during the Effectiveness Period.
3. Registration Expenses.
(a) All expenses incident to the Parent’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, qualification and filing fees, listing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, stock exchange rules and filings, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of custodians, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Parent and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters (excluding underwriting discounts and commissions) and other Persons retained by the Parent (all such expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”), shall be borne by the Parent as provided in this Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Parent also shall pay all of its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Parent are then listed.
(b) To the extent Registration Expenses are not required to be paid by the Parent, each Holder of securities included in any registration hereunder shall pay those Registration Expenses allocable to the registration of such Holder’s securities so included, and any Registration Expenses not so allocable shall be borne by all sellers of securities included in such registration in proportion to the aggregate selling price of the securities to be so registered.
4. Indemnification.
(a) The Parent agrees to (i) indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder and their respective officers, directors, members, partners, agents, affiliates and employees and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by (A) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (B) any violation or alleged violation by the Parent of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Parent and relating to action or inaction required of the Parent in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and (ii) pay to each Holder and their respective officers, directors, members, partners, agents, affiliates and employees and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), as incurred, any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Parent or any managing underwriter by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Parent be liable in any such case for any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action to the extent that it solely arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement or omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Parent shall indemnify any underwriters or deemed underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of Registrable Securities.
(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, (1) each such Holder shall furnish to the Parent in writing such information as the Parent reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, (2) to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Parent, its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives and each Person who controls the Parent (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information expressly furnished in writing by such holder to the Parent; provided that the obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, for each Holder and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.
(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (as well as one local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicted indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the registration, at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party, in the defense of such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(d) Each party hereto agrees that, if for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Sections 4(a) or 4(b) are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders or any underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 4(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or, except as provided in Section 4(c), defending any such action or claim. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The sellers’ obligations in this Section 4(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the amount of securities registered by them and not joint and shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration.
(e) The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities and the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
5. Other Agreements; Certain Limitations on Registration Rights. The Parent shall file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and shall take such further action as the Holders may reasonably request, all to the extent required to enable such Persons to sell securities pursuant to (a) Rule 144 adopted by the Commission under the Securities Act (as such amended or successor rule as may be amended from time to time) or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission or (b) a registration statement on Form S-3 or any similar registration form hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon request, the Parent shall promptly deliver to the Holders a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. The Parent shall at all times use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the securities registered or to be registered pursuant hereto to be listed, or continue to be listed, on one or more of the Nasdaq Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE American.

(e) Amendments and Waivers. Compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified, with the written consent of the Parent and in the case of any other provision, covenant or condition, the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities at the time in question; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital stock of the Parent, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected.

Strategic acquisition unlocks smart demining capabilities through a multi-layered, AI-powered analytics platform and integrated robotic systems developed by an elite Israeli defense engineering team
World Bank estimates full demining of Ukraine at roughly US $34.6 billion with additional countries and territories worldwide with Contamination of landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXOs) with some 110 million mines and other explosive remnants still buried across the globe
BOSTON, MA / October 27, 2025 / Ondas Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ONDS) (“Ondas” or the “Company”), a leading provider of autonomous aerial and ground robot intelligence through its Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS) business unit and private wireless solutions through Ondas Networks, today announced a definitive agreement to acquire a controlling interest in HYPERLINK “https://4-mine.com/”4M Defense Ltd. (“4M Defense”), a leading Israeli smart demining company specializing in advanced demining capabilities, including robotic systems with terrestrial and subsurface AI-powered intelligence technologies. 4M Defense will expand OAS’ addressable market into the large global landmine and UXOs clearance and subsurface intelligence platforms market.

4M Defense is a next-generation demining company leveraging advanced technologies to transform land clearance operations. World Bank estimates full demining of Ukraine at roughly US $34.6 billion with additional countries and territories worldwide with Contamination of landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXOs) with some 110 million mines and other explosive remnants still buried across the globe. By applying Land Intelligence, data-driven prioritization, and operational field insight, 4M Defense enables the release of more land, more quickly, and we believe at a significantly lower cost. The company’s Terrestrial Intelligence Platform (TIP) integrates satellite imagery, drone data, and historical threat maps to identify and visualize subsurface hazards such as landmines, IEDs, UXOs, and terrain obstructions—enabling faster and safer decision-making for defense, homeland security, and humanitarian missions. 4M Defense also specializes in the operation and implementation of advanced robotic systems. Validated by the Israeli Ministry of Defense and deployed in national-scale clearance and infrastructure projects, 4M’s AI-powered analytics deliver demining operations up to four times faster and at significantly lower cost than traditional methods based upon company estimates. With roots in Israel’s elite defense intelligence and engineering units, the 4M team brings unmatched domain expertise to address a global crisis impacting more than 60 countries, where over 110 million landmines remain active, according to CBNW Magazine.
“We are excited to bring 4M Defense into the Ondas portfolio,” said Oshri Lugassy, Co-CEO of Ondas Autonomous Systems. “Their advanced terrestrial intelligence capabilities align squarely with our autonomous drone and AI data solutions and technology roadmap. We understand the urgent need for integrated, scalable technologies to address the growing threats posed by landmines and subsurface hazards in many combat-stricken areas around the world including Israel and Ukraine. With this acquisition, we believe we are positioned to accelerate go-to-market execution, deliver greater operational impact for our customers, and scale rapidly in a mission that truly matters.”
The integration of 4M Defense within Ondas’ operating platform creates a powerful and differentiated offering in the defense and homeland security markets. By combining 4M’s Terrestrial Intelligence Platform, which delivers high-resolution subsurface mapping and threat detection, Ondas’ autonomous drone systems and AI-driven Insightful™ data and analytics portal infrastructure, the companies will offer a uniquely comprehensive solution for aerial and underground situational awareness. This integration enhances mission planning, real-time decision-making, and operational safety across a range of high-risk environments. In addition, the combination enables joint go-to-market execution, shared engineering resources, and a scalable foundation for rapid deployment in Israel, Ukraine, and other global hotspots. The combined capabilities are expected to accelerate growth, improve customer outcomes, and extend Ondas’ leadership in dual-use defense technology.
Under the terms of the agreement, Ondas will acquire a controlling interest in 4M Defense and provide 4M Defense with access to additional capital, operational scale, and global distribution through Ondas. The founding leadership of 4M Defense will remain in place, ensuring continuity and accelerating integration with Ondas’ autonomous drone and AI platforms. The acquisition structure is designed to support rapid growth while preserving the innovative culture and domain expertise that defines 4M’s success.
