1.7 Section 13 of the Business Combination Marketing Agreement shall be amended to add the following at the end of the Section:
“Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provisions of this Agreement that are expressly or otherwise required to be governed by the Israeli Companies Law, 1999, as amended and the regulations promulgated thereunder or by the Israeli Securities Law, 1968, as amended and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Israeli Law”), shall be governed by Israeli Law (without giving effect to choice of law principles thereof) in respect of which the parties irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Israel.”
1.8 The following new Section 15 is hereby added to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement:
“15. Assumption by Zooz.

In the event that the BCA is validly terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing, this Amendment and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall automatically terminate and become null and void, and the parties shall have no obligations under this Amendment, and the terms of the original Business Combination Marketing Agreement shall be reinstated without giving effect to this Amendment.

Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, all of the terms and provisions in the Business Combination Marketing Agreement are and shall remain in full force and effect, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. This Amendment does not constitute, directly or by implication, an amendment or waiver of any provision of the Business Combination Marketing Agreement, or any other right, remedy, power or privilege of any party thereto, except as expressly set forth herein. Any reference to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement in the Business Combination Marketing Agreement or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate entered into or issued in connection therewith shall hereinafter mean the Business Combination Marketing Agreement, as amended or modified by this Agreement (or as the Business Combination Marketing Agreement may be further amended, modified or supplemented after the date hereof in accordance with the terms thereof). This Amendment may be executed in any number of original or facsimile counterparts, each one of which shall constitute an original, and together shall constitute but one instrument.
