Employee is expected to make new contributions to, and create inventions of value for, the Company. The Employee agrees to share with the Company all the Employee's knowledge and experience, provided however that the Employee shall not
disclose to the Company, or use for the advancement of the business of the Company, any information which the Employee has undertaken to third parties to keep confidential or in which third parties have any rights.
|
| (b) |
The Employee acknowledges that all “Work Product” (as defined below) is “work made for hire”, will be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and the
Employee hereby waives any right or title therein whatsoever. “Work Product” shall include all inventions, improvements, designs, concepts, techniques, methods,

The Employee hereby forever waives and agrees never to assert any rights of paternity or integrity, any right to claim authorship of any Work Product, to object to any distortion, mutilation or other modification of, or other derogatory
action in relation to any Work Product, whether or not such would be prejudicial to his or her honor or reputation, and any similar right, existing under judicial or statutory law of any country in the world, or under any treaty, even after
termination of the Employee’s work on behalf of the Company. However, Company shall consider giving appropriate recognition to each employee for the Employee’s contribution to the creation of any Work Product.
|
| (e) |
All trade secrets, inventions, ideas, processes, formulas, source and object codes, data, programs, other works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs and techniques (hereinafter collectively referred

excluded from the scope of this Amendment. To preclude any possible uncertainty, a complete list of all Prior Inventions that the Employee has, alone or jointly with others, conceived, developed or reduced to practice or caused to be
conceived, developed or reduced to practice prior to the commencement of the Employee's employment with the Company, that the Employee considers to be his or her property or the property of third parties and that the Employee wishes to have
excluded from the scope of this Amendment is included in the definition of Prior Inventions in Exhibit A hereto. If disclosure of any such Prior Invention would cause the Employee to violate
any prior confidentiality agreement, the Employee shall only disclose a cursory name for each such invention, a listing of the party(ies) to whom it belongs and the fact that full disclosure as to such inventions has not been made for that
reason. If no such disclosure is attached, the Employee represents that there are no Prior Inventions. If, in the course of the Employee’s employment with the Company, the Employee incorporates a Prior Invention into a Company product,
process or machine, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, fully paid up, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sub-licensees) to make, have made,
modify, use, sell and commercialize such Prior Invention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee agrees that he or she will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, Prior Inventions in any inventions of the Company without the
Company’s prior written consent.

will execute any documents that the Company may reasonably request for use in obtaining or enforcing such patents, copyrights, mask work rights, trade secrets and other legal protections. The Employee's obligations under this Section 7(f)
will continue beyond the termination of employment with the Company. The Employee hereby irrevocably appoints any of the Company’s officers as the Employee's attorney-in-fact to execute documents on the Employee’s behalf for this purpose.
|
| (g) |
For the removal of any doubt, it is hereby clarified that the provisions contained in this Section 7 will apply also to any “Service Inventions” as defined in the Israeli Patent Law, 1967 (the “Patent Law”). However, in no event will such Service Invention become the Employee’s property and the provisions contained in Section 132(b) of the Patent Law shall not apply unless the Company provides in writing
otherwise. Employee will not be entitled to royalties or other payment with regard to any Work Product, Service Inventions or any of the intellectual property rights set forth above, including any commercialization of such Work Product,

|
| (c) |

By virtue of my power under Section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, 5723-19631 (the “Law”), I hereby confirm, that contributions made by an employer for his employee, commencing as of the date of publication of this

employer to a Pension Fund and to an Insurance Fund, whether or not the Insurance Fund includes an annuity plan (the “Employer's Contributions”), shall be payable in lieu of severance pay due to such employee in respect of the salary from which
such contributions were made and the period they were made for (the “Exempt Salary”); provided, however, that all of the following conditions have been fulfilled:
(1) The Employer's Contributions -
(a) To the Pension Fund, are at a rate of no less than 14 1/3% of the Exempt Salary, or 12% of the Exempt Salary, if in addition thereto, the employer makes supplementary severance pay
contributions for his employee to a provident fund for severance pay or to an Insurance Fund in the employee's name, at a rate of 2 1/3% of the Exempt Salary. In the event that the employer has not contributed such 2 1/3% in addition to said 12%,
his contributions shall only replace 72% of the employee's severance pay;
(b) To the Insurance Fund are at a rate of no less than one of the following:
(1) 13 1/3% of the Exempt Salary, if in addition thereto, the employer makes contributions for his employee for securing monthly income in the event of disability to
a plan approved by the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings at the Ministry of Finance, at the rate required to secure at least 75% of the Exempt Salary or a rate of 2 1/2% of the Exempt Salary, whichever is lower (“Disability
Insurance Contributions”); or
(2) 11% of the Exempt Salary, if the employer also made Disability Insurance Contributions, and in such case the Employer's Contributions shall only replace 72% of
the Employee's severance pay; In the event that the employer has made, in addition to the foregoing, supplementary severance pay contributions to a provident fund for severance pay or to an Insurance Fund in the employee's name at a rate of 2 1/3%
of the Exempt Salary, the Employer's Contributions shall replace 100% of the employee's severance pay.
(2) By no later than three months of the commencement date of the Employer's Contributions, a written agreement is executed between the employer and the employee that includes:
(a) The employee’s consent to the arrangement pursuant to this approval in a form specifying the Employer's Contributions, and the Pension Fund and Insurance Fund, as applicable; such agreement shall also include the form of this
approval;
(b) The employer’s advance waiver of any right he may have to a refund of monies from his contributions, unless the employee’s right to severance pay has been revoked by virtue of Sections
