Indemnification Agreement – Given Imaging Ltd.

FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement“) is entered into
by and between Given Imaging Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the
State of Israel, with its principal offices at New Industrial Park, 2 Hacarmel
Street, P.O. Box 258 Yokneam, 20692 (the “Company“), and
________________ (the “Indemnitee“), residing
at the address set forth beneath Indemnitee’s signature to this Agreement, and
effective as of the date Indemnitee is appointed to his position with the
Company.

WHEREAS, the Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly
qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee further recognize the risks relating to
the duties and responsibilities of persons serving the Company as directors and
officers and that the protection of such persons against potential liability and
expenses relating to their service for and on behalf of the Company is necessary
and desirable to attract and retain Indemnitee; and

WHEREAS, in view of the above, the Company desires that Indemnitee shall be
indemnified and exculpated by the Company to the maximum extent permitted by
law, including, without limitation, the Israeli Companies law of 1999, as
amended (the “Law“), , all as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:

1.

INDEMNIFICATION.

a. Without derogating from the Company153s right to indemnify the Indemnitee
retroactively as permitted under the Law and the Company153s Articles, and subject
to the limitations set forth in paragraph 1(b) below, the Company hereby
undertakes to indemnify Indemnitee for a liability or expense incurred by or
imposed on Idemnitee as a result of an action taken by Indemnitee in
Indemnitee153s capacity as an office holder of the Company, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, including, without limitation, as follows:

(i) A monetary obligation imposed on, or incurred by Indemnitee in favor of
another person pursuant to a judgment, including a judgment rendered in a
settlement or a court approved settlement (where such settlement is approved in
advance by the Company) or arbitrator’s award;

(ii) Reasonable legal costs, including attorney’s fees, incurred, by
Indemnitee as a result of an investigation or proceeding conducted against
Indemnitee by an authority that is authorized to conduct such investigation or
proceeding, and ended without an indictment against Indemnitee and without
imposing on Indemnitee any fines or similar financial obligations in lieu of a
criminal proceeding, or that ended without an indictment against Indemnitee but
with imposing on Indemnitee any fines or similar financial obligations as an
alternative to a criminal proceeding in respect of an offence that does not
require the proof of criminal intent. For the purpose of this Agreement: “A
proceeding that ended without an indictment in a matter in respect of which an
investigation was conducted”, means- closing the case pursuant to Section 62 of
the Criminal Procedure Act [Combined Version] 5742- 1982 (the “Criminal
Procedure Act”) or a stay of proceedings by the Attorney General pursuant to
Section 231 of the Criminal Procedure Act; “Financial obligation in lieu of a
criminal proceeding”, means : a financial obligation imposed by law as an
alternative to a criminal proceeding, including an administrative fine pursuant
to the Administrative Offenses Act 5746-1985, a fine with respect to an offense
which was defined as a “finable offense” under the Criminal Procedure Act, a
fine or a forfeit.

– 1 –


(iii) Reasonable legal costs, including attorney’s fees, incurred by
Indemnitee or which Indemnitee is ordered to pay by a court, in proceedings
commenced against Indemnitee by the Company or on its behalf or by another
person, or in respect of a criminal charge of which Indemnitee is acquitted, or
in respect of a criminal charge of which Indemnitee is convicted of an offence
that does not require proof of criminal intent (such legal costs described in
clauses (ii) and (iii) of this section 1, being referred to in herein as the
Costs of Litigation“).

(iv) Any other obligation or expense in respect of which it is permitted or
will be permitted by law to indemnify Indemnitee.

b. INDEMNIFIABLE EVENT; LIMIT AMOUNTS. For the purposes of this section, an
“Indemnifiable Event” means any event or occurrence falling, in whole or in
part, within any one or more of the categories set forth in Exhibit A to
this Agreement, which are, in the Board’s opinion, categories of events and
circumstances that are anticipated to occur in light of the Company’s actual
activities at the time of granting the indemnification, and are related to the
fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company, or any
subsidiary of the Company (regardless of whether it was a subsidiary of the
Company at the time of the event giving rise to Claim), or is or was serving at
the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any
action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee whilst serving in such capacity.
The obligation of the Company to Indemnitee under this Agreement, together with
all then pending claims for indemnification made by other directors or officers
of the Company, whether under law, agreement or the Articles of the Company (in
addition to any amounts that may be received by Indemnitee from an insurance
company under any insurance the Company has procured for the benefit of
Indemnitee), shall not exceed the amount determined in Exhibit A (hereinafter:
Limit Amount“), except that the Company153s obligation to
indemnify Indenitee for Costs of Litigation is not subject to, and will not
count towards, any Limit Amount. Such Limit Amount shall be subject to
continuing review and consideration by the Company, and may be increased if the
Board of Directors, with the prior approval of the Audit Committee of the
Company, determines that such Limit Amount is less then an amount that can be
reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with an
Indemnifiable Event. The limitations set forth in this paragraph regarding the
categories of events described in Exhibit A, and the Limit Amount, as
defined in Exhibit A, will not apply to Costs of Litigation.

c. REVIEWING PARTY. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) the obligations of the
Company under Section 1(a) shall be subject to the condition that the Reviewing
Party (as described in Section 9(e) hereof) shall not have determined (in a
written opinion, in any case in which the Independent Legal Counsel referred to
in Section 1(d) hereof is involved) that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be
indemnified under applicable law, and (ii) the obligation of the Company to make
an advance payment of Expenses to Indemnitee pursuant to Section 2(a) (an
Expense Advance“) shall be subject to the condition that, if,
when and to the extent that the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee
should not be permitted to be so indemnified under applicable law, the Company
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse
the Company) for all such amounts theretofore paid; provided,
however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal
proceedings to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified
under applicable law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that
Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall
not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for
any Expense Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect
thereto as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or
lapsed). Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse the Company for any Expense
Advance shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon. If there
has not been a Change in Control (as defined in Section 9(c) hereof), the
Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and if there has
been such a Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be the Independent
Legal Counsel referred to in Section 9(d) hereof. If there has been no
determination by the Reviewing Party or if the Reviewing Party determines that
Indemnitee substantively would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole or in
part under applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence
litigation seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such
determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the legal
or factual basis therefor, and the Company hereby consents to service of process
and to appear in any such proceeding. Any determination by the Reviewing Party
otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee.

– 2 –


d. CHANGE IN CONTROL. The Company agrees that if there is a Change in Control
of the Company then with respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning
the rights of Indemnitee to payments of Expense and Expense Advances under this
Agreement or any other agreement or under the Company’s Memorandum or Articles
of Association as now or hereafter in effect, the Company shall seek legal
advice only from Independent Legal Counsel (as defined in Section 9(d) hereof)
selected by the Company and approved by the Indemnitee (which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld). Such counsel, among other things, shall render its
written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent
Indemnitee would be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law and the
Company agrees to abide by such opinion. The Company agrees to pay the
reasonable fees of the Independent Legal Counsel referred to above and to fully
indemnify such counsel against any and all expenses (including attorney’s fees),
claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
its engagement pursuant hereto.

2.

EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE.

a. ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. The Company shall advance all Expenses incurred
by Indemnitee. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to
Indemnitee as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than thirty (30)
days after written demand by Indemnitee therefor to the Company.

b. NOTICE; COOPERATION BY INDEMNITEE. Indemnitee shall, as a condition
precedent to Indemnitee’s right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give the
Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any Claim made against
Indemnitee for which Indemnification will or could be sought under this
Agreement, provided, however, that any failure to provide such notice shall not
affect Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification hereunder unless and to the extent
such failure to provide notice materially and adversely prejudices the Company’s
right to defend against such action. Notice to the Company shall be directed to
the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the address shown on the signature
page of this Agreement (or such other address as the Company shall designate in
writing to Indemnitee), or if the Indemnitee is then the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company, such notice shall be directed to the Chairman of the Company’s
Board of Directors, at the same address. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the
Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as
shall be within Indemnitee’s power.

c. NO PRESUMPTIONS; BURDEN OF PROOF. For purposes of this Agreement, the
termination of any Claim by judgement, order, settlement (whether with or
without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of guilty, by itself,
shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular
standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined
that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law. In addition, neither
the failure of the Reviewing Party to have made a determination as to whether
Indemnitee has met any particular standard of conduct or had any particular
belief, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee has
not met such standard of conduct or did not have such belief, prior to the
commencement of legal proceedings by Indemnitee to secure a judicial
determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, shall
be a defense against Indemnitee’s claim or create a presumption that Indemnitee
has not met any particular standard of conduct or did not have any particular
belief. In connection with any determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise
as to whether the Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the burden
of proof shall be on the Company to establish that Indemnitee is not so
entitled.

– 3 –


d. NOTICE TO INSURERS. If, at the time of the receipt by the Company of a
notice of a claim pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, the Company has liability
insurance in effect which may cover such Claim, the Company shall give prompt
notice of the commencement of such Claim to the insurers in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter
take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf
of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such action, suit,
proceeding, inquiry or investigation in accordance with the terms of such
policies.

e. SELECTION OF COUNSEL. In the event the Company shall be obligated
hereunder to pay the Expenses of any Claim, and the Company shall have confirmed
to Indemnitee in writing such obligation and that the maximum amount of Expenses
that Indemnitee may incur in connection with the Claim in question will not
exceed the Limit Amount, in respect of such Claim, the Company shall be entitled
to assume the defense of such Claim with counsel approved by Indemnitee, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of
written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such written
confirmation and such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the
retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by
Indemnitee with respect to the same Claim; provided, that: (i) Indemnitee shall
have the right to employ Indemnitee’s counsel in any such Claim at Indemnitee’s
expense, and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been
previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably
concluded that a potential conflict of interest between the Company and
Indemnitee may arise in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company
shall not continue to retain such counsel to defend such Claim, then the fees
and expenses of Indemnitee counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The
Company shall have the right to conduct such defense as it sees fit in its sole
discretion, including the right to settle any claim against Indemnitee without
the consent of the Indemnitee provided, the amount of such settlement does not
exceed the Limit Amount and any such settlement includes (i) a complete release
discharge of indemnity, and (ii) does not contain any admittance of wrong doing
by Indemnitee, and (iii) is monetary only.

3.

ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS; NONEXCLUSIVITY.

a. SCOPE. In the event of any change after the date of this agreement of any
applicable law, statute or rule which expands the right of a corporation of the
Company’s state of incorporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors
or an officer, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall
enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits afforded by such change. In the
event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the
right of a corporation of the Company’s country or state of incorporation to
indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, employee, agent or
fiduciary, such change, to the extent not otherwise required by such law,
statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this
Agreement or the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder except as set forth
in Section 8(a) hereof.

b. NONEXCLUSIVITY. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall be in
addition to any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company’s
Memorandum and Articles of Association, as may from time to time be amended or
replaced, any agreement, any vote of shareholders or disinterested directors,
the laws of the Company’s state of incorporation, or otherwise. The
indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee
for any action Indemnitee took or did not take while serving in an indemnified
capacity even though Indemnitee may have ceased to serve in such capacity.

4. NO DUPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. The Company shall not be liable under this
Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made against
Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment
(under any insurance policy, the Articles or Memorandum of Association or
otherwise) of the amounts otherwise Indemnifiable hereunder, except for the
difference, if any, between the amounts received by the Indemnitee as aforesaid
and the total Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such Claim. For
the removal of any doubt, any amount received from D&O Insurance (as defined
below) shall not count against any Limit Amount hereunder.

– 4 –


5. PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of
this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of
Expenses incurred in connection with any Claim, but not, however, for all of the
total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for
the portion of such Expenses to which Indemnitee is entitled herein.

6. LIABILITY INSURANCE. As long as the Indemnitee continues to serve as a
director or officer of the Company and thereafter as long as the Indemnitee may
be subject to any possible proceedings, the Company shall procure directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance to the fullest extent permitted by law (“D&O
Insurance”), in such amount (per claim and per period) as the Company shall deem
appropriate and in accordance to the provisions of the Law; provided, that, the
Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain D&O Insurance if the
Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably
available, the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the
amount of coverage provided, the coverage provided by such insurance is so
limited by exclusions that it provides an insufficient benefit, or the
Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained by a subsidiary of the
Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not terminate
any existing insurance coverage without notifying the Indemnitee of its
intention to do so at least ninety (90) days prior to the effective date of such
termination (for this purpose the non-renewal of such coverage shall be deemed
as termination thereof and the effective date of such termination shall then be
the expiration date of the existing coverage).

7. EXCULPATION. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company hereby
exculpates and releases Indemnitee from any and all liability to the Company
related to any past, present and future breach by Indemnitee of his or her duty
of care to the Company.

8. EXCEPTIONS. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:

a. EXCLUDED ACTS AND OMISSIONS. To indemnify, insure or exculpate Indemnitee
from or against any liability arising out of (i) Indemnitee’s breach of
fiduciary duty to the Company, unless Indemnitee has acted or omitted to act in
good faith and had reasonable ground to believe such action will not harm the
Company’s interests, (ii) intentional or reckless breach by Indemnitee of his or
her duty of care to the Company, or (iii) an action taken with the intention to
unduly profit therefrom and (iv) any fine or penalty payment to propitiate an
offense.

b. CLAIMS INITIATED BY INDEMNITEE. To indemnify or advance expenses to
Indemnitee with respect to Claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee
and not by way of defense, except: (i) with respect to proceedings brought to
establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any
other agreement, or insurance policy or under the Company’s Memorandum or
Articles of Association now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for
Indemnifiable Events, (ii) in specific cases if the Board of Directors has
approved the initiation or bringing of such suit, or (iii) as otherwise required
under the laws of the Company’s state of incorporation, regardless of whether
Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification,
advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the case may be; or

c. CLAIMS UNDER SECTION 16(B). To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses and the
payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of
securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any similar applicable law of any
jurisdiction.

a. For purposes of this Agreement, references to the “Company” shall include,
in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including
any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which,

indemnify its directors and officers, so that if Indemnitee is or was serving at
the request of such constituent corporation as a director or officer, of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other
enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same position under the provisions of

of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee
shall be deemed to have acted in “good faith” and in the best interests of the
Company as referred to in this Agreement.

c. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to

transaction not otherwise constituting a Change in Control, is or becomes a
“beneficial owners” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the U.S. Securities Act,
1933, as amended), of more securities of the Company than held immediately prior
to that by any other single largest shareholder of the Company; (ii) the
majority of the of the directors of the Company shall have ceased to hold such
office, whether without the consent of the majority of the directors or in a
settlement of an election or proxy contest, or (iii) the Company consummates a

merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the
Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the
surviving entity) more than 50% of the total voting power represented by the
voting securities of the Company or the surviving entity outstanding immediately
after such merger or consolidation, or (iv) the stockholders of the Company
approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the
sale or disposition by the Company of (in one transaction or a series of

Indemnitees under similar indemnity agreements).

e. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Reviewing Party” shall mean any
appropriate person or body consisting of a member or members of the Company’s
Board of Directors or any other person or body appointed by the Board of

under this Agreement or under any liability insurance policies maintained by the

of the Company under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms of
this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all Expenses incurred by

remain enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Furthermore, to the
fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without
limitations, each portion of this Agreement containing any provision held to be
invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable that is not itself invalid, void or
unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested
by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
