EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.8

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of August 21, 2015, by and between Varonis Systems Ltd., an Israeli corporation (the “Company”), and Gili Iohan (“Executive”), to be effective on the Effective Date (as defined below). Where the context permits, references to “the Company” shall include the Company and any successor of the Company.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company desires to engage Executive and Executive represents that she has the requisite skills, qualifications and knowledge to serve in the position of Chief Financial Officer; and

WHEREAS, the parties desire to state the terms and conditions of the Executive's engagement with the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements herein contained, together with other good and valuable consideration the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1. PRIOR PERIOD. Executive hereby confirms that prior to the Effective Date she was employed by the parent company of the Company, Varonis Systems, Inc. ("Parent"), from as of July 21, 2013 and until August 20, 2015 ("Relocation Period"), and by the Company from as of October 1, 2010 and until July 20, 2013 ("Prior Period"). Accordingly, Executive hereby represents and warrants that she has received from the Company and the Parent (respectively) all and any payments and benefits due to her with respect to the Relocation Period and the Prior Period and their termination. In addition, Executive acknowledges that other than with respect to options and RSUs granted during the Prior Period and Relocation Period, the commencement date for the calculation of her seniority in the Company, for the purpose of all rights and benefits owed to Executive under this Agreement, shall commence only as of the Effective Date and not otherwise, and that the terms and conditions of her employment with the Company are exclusively and in all respects settled and determined under this Agreement.

2. SERVICES AND DUTIES. As of August 21, 2015 (the "Effective Date"), Executive shall serve as Chief Financial Officer and in such position shall have the duties, responsibilities and authority commensurate with the status of an individual holding such position in a company similarly situated to the Company and shall render services consistent with such position. In all cases, Executive shall be subject to the supervision and authority of, and shall report to, the Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors of the Parent (the “Board of Directors”). While employed by the Company, Executive agrees to devote substantially all of her working time and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to periods of vacation and sick leave to which she is entitled pursuant to this Agreement and applicable law and in accordance with the Company’s policies in effect at such time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude Executive, so long as Executive delivers advance written notice to the Company, from participating in or serving on the board of directors or similar governing body of a corporation or other business entity (other than a business entity in a competitive business as described in Section 7(c)) or of charitable, religious, social or educational organizations in so far as such participation or service does not unreasonably interfere, individually or in the aggregate, with Executive’s performance of her obligations to the Company. Executive agrees to discharge her duties diligently, faithfully and in the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained in this Agreement, the Company retains the right to terminate Executive’s employment at any time by providing Executive with a prior written notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 below (whether or not for Cause (as defined below)).

3. EMPLOYMENT TERM. Unless Executive’s employment shall sooner terminate pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, the Company shall employ Executive under the terms of this Agreement for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”); provided, however, that commencing on the expiration of the Initial Term and each anniversary thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall be deemed to be automatically extended, upon the same terms and conditions, for successive periods of one (1) year each (each, an “Extended Term”), unless Executive or the Company, as the case may be, at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Extended Term, provides written notice to the other of its intention not to renew this Agreement. The period during which Executive is employed pursuant to this Agreement, including any Extended Term in accordance with the preceding sentence, shall be referred to as the “Term.”

4. COMPENSATION.

(a) Salary. As compensation for Executive’s services to the Company, the Company shall pay Executive a gross monthly salary of NIS 75,000 (the "Salary"), which calculates to an annualized amount of NIS 900,000 per year (the “Annual Salary”). The Salary for each month shall be payable in arrears within nine (9) calendar days of the first day of the following calendar month. The Salary may be increased (but not decreased other than pursuant to an across-the-board reduction that applies to all employees or solely to senior executives of the Company) during the Term in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) or the Board of Directors.

(b) It is hereby clarified that as Executive is employed in a management position which requires a special degree of trust, the Hours of Work and Rest Law-1951, and any other law amending or replacing such law, does not apply to her or to her employment with the Company. Annual Bonus. Executive shall have an annual discretionary target bonus opportunity equal to $110,000, to be paid upon satisfaction of certain criteria established by the Compensation Committee and subject to the terms of any annual bonus plan established by the Compensation Committee, or by any other committee or officer having authority over executive compensation. Such bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) shall be paid in accordance with the terms of any annual bonus plan governing such Annual Bonus. Since the Annual Bonus is a conditional payment, it shall not constitute a salary component for any purpose, including for the purpose of calculating any fringe benefits.

(c) Withholding. Withholdings shall be deducted at source from any payments and benefits made by the Company to Executive according to any applicable law, including, but not limited to, Israeli income tax, National Security ("Bituach Leumi") and Health Tax. Executive shall bear any tax imposed in connection with the payments and benefits provided hereunder.

5. BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES.

(a) Annual Leave. Notwithstanding any other policy, plan or program of the Company, Executive shall be entitled to thirty days (30) of paid vacation per calendar year, which may be carried over one year to the extent not used in any given calendar year.

(b) Sick Leave. Executive shall be entitled to sick leave ("Xxxxx Xxxxxx") as provided by the Sickness Pay Law, 1976.

(c) Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Executive for any expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred by Executive during the Term in furtherance of Executive’s duties hereunder, including travel, meals and accommodations, upon submission by Executive of vouchers or receipts and in compliance with such rules and policies relating thereto as the Company may from time to time adopt. Without derogating from the generality of the above, Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement against receipts for (i) gas expenses in the amount of up to NIS 2,500 per month and (ii) car insurance.

(d) Pension Arrangement. Executive shall be entitled to contributions, as of the Effective Date, to a Managers Insurance Policy (the "Policy") or to a comprehensive pension plan (the "Pension Plan"), or a combination of the two, as may be selected by Executive, at the following monthly rates:

In the event Executive shall choose a Policy: (i) 8.33% of the Salary towards severance pay component; and (ii) 5% of the Salary towards the savings and risk component. In addition, the Company shall also make provision for the loss of the earning capacity component at the lower of (i) 2.5% of the Salary or (ii) a rate which is required to ensure 75% of the Salary. The Company shall also deduct 5% of the Salary to be paid on Executive's account towards the Policy.

In the event Executive shall choose a Pension Plan: (i) 8.33% of the Salary towards severance pay component; and (ii) 6% of the Salary towards the savings and risk component. The Company shall also deduct 5.5% of the Salary to be paid on Executive's account towards the Pension Plan.

Executive shall be entitled to change her pension arrangement choice in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the law and subject to its compliance with the terms of the General Order (as defined below).

Executive shall bear all taxes associated with the contributions towards the Pension Arrangement.

If Executive shall not notify the Company within 3 (three) months of Effective Date of the Executive's pension arrangement selection, then the Company will make monthly contributions from the Salary to a Pension Arrangement chosen by the Company in its sole discretion and shall deduct the amount payable on your account towards such Pension Arrangement, and in respect of which, Executive will have no claims against the Company for damages of any kind.

It is hereby agreed that the settlement regulated in the General Order as amended (attached as Exhibit A) published under section 14 of the Severance Pay Law 1963 applies. The Company’s contributions to Executive's pension arrangement will therefore constitute Executive's entire entitlement to severance pay in respect of the paid Salary, in place of any severance pay to which Executive otherwise may have become entitled at law.

The Company waives all rights to have its payments refunded, unless Executive's right to severance pay is denied by a judgment according to sections 16 or 17 of the Severance Pay Law or in the event that Executive withdraw monies from the Policy in circumstances other than an Entitling Event, where an “Entitling Event” means death, disablement or retirement at the age of 60 or over.

(e) Study Fund. The Company shall contribute, retroactively as of the Effective Date, 7.5% of the Salary (but in any event, not more than the ceiling recognized by the income tax authorities ) towards a study fund ("Keren Hishtalmut") (the "Study Fund"). Executive shall contribute 2.5% of the Salary (but in any event, not more than the ceiling recognized by the income tax authorities) towards the Study Fund (the sums contributed by Executive shall be deducted directly from the Salary by the Company). Executive shall bear any and all taxes applicable in connection with amounts payable by Executive and/or Company to the Study Fund.

(f) Recreation Pay. Executive shall be entitled to recreation pay ("Dmey Havra-ah") in accordance with the law.

(g) Travel Expenses. The Company shall pay the Executive travel expenses according to law.

6. TERMINATION. Executive’s employment shall be terminated at the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the end of the Term; or (ii) the date of Executive’s death. In addition, Executive’s employment may be earlier terminated: (1) by the Company for “Cause” (as defined below), effective on the date on which a written notice to such effect is delivered to Executive; or (2) by either Party at any time without Cause, by providing the other Party with a prior written notice period of 90 days; (3) by Executive for “Good Reason” (as defined below), effective thirty-one (31) days following the date on which a written notice to such effect is delivered to the Company; provided, however, that the Company may specify an earlier effective date for a termination effected pursuant to clauses (2) or (3) by providing Executive payment in lieu of notice according to law (i.e., Salary only).

(a) For Cause Termination. If Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause, Executive shall not be entitled to any further compensation or benefits other than: (i) any accrued but unpaid Salary, payable as provided in Section 4(a) hereof; (ii) any accrued but unused annual leave, payable at the same time as the Salary and in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof; (iii) reimbursement for any business expenses properly incurred by Executive prior to the date of termination in accordance with Section 5(d) hereof, payable in accordance with Section 5(d) hereof; and (iv) any accrued but unpaid recreation pay; (collectively, the “Accrued Benefits”).

(b) Termination by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or by Executive for Good Reason and Section 6(c) is not then applicable, then Executive shall be entitled to the Accrued Benefits payable as provided in Section 6(a) hereof and subject to Executive’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims relating to Executive’s employment and service as an officer with the Company in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Release”) within thirty (30) days following the date of termination (or such longer period as may be required by applicable law for the effectiveness of the Release):

(i) an amount equal to one (1) times the Annual Salary as of the date of termination, payable in a lump sum on the 60th day following the date of termination; and

(ii) an amount equal to the amount of the Annual Bonus, if any, that Executive would have earned for the year of termination, had she remained employed, based on the actual financial performance of the Company, as determined by the Company following the end of such year, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the year of termination that Executive was employed by the Company and the denominator of which is 365 (the “Pro-Rata Bonus”), to be paid in a cash lump sum on the date on which annual bonuses are otherwise paid by the Company to its active employees.

(c) Termination in Connection with a Change in Control. If Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated (i) by the Company other than for Cause or (ii) by Executive with Good Reason in either case within one year following a “Change in Control” (as such term is defined in the Parent’s 2013 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as may be amended from time to time), then Executive shall be entitled to (i) the Accrued Benefits and (ii) upon Executive’s execution and non-revocation of the Release within thirty (30) days following the date of termination (or such longer period as may be required by applicable law for the effectiveness of the Release):

(i) an amount equal to one and a half (1.5) times the Annual Salary as of the date of termination, payable in a lump sum on the 60th day following the date of termination;

(ii) an amount equal to Executive’s target Annual Bonus for the year of termination, to be paid in a cash lump sum on the 60th day following the date of termination; and

(iii) notwithstanding anything in the contrary in the applicable option or equity-incentive plans, immediate vesting of all of Executive’s outstanding equity-based awards.

(d) Voluntary Resignation by Executive without Good Reason; Termination upon Death. If Executive voluntarily resigns her employment without Good Reason or if Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of Executive’s death, in lieu of any other payments or benefits, Executive (or Executive’s beneficiary or estate, as applicable) shall be entitled to the Accrued Benefits only.

(e) Expiration of Term. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the expiration of the Term in accordance with Section 3 hereof, the parties’ obligations hereunder, other than with respect to the provisions set forth in Sections 7, 9 and 10 hereof, shall expire.

(f) Clawback. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if (A) Executive breaches any of the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 7 hereof or any other restrictive covenants (including those restrictive covenants contained in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement) and (B) the Company provides Executive with written notice of such breach, the Company shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to Section 6(b) or Section 6(c) and the Company shall have the right to require Executive (and any heir, representative, successor or assign of Executive) to repay any amount previously paid to Executive pursuant to Section 6(b) or 5(c).

Nothing contained in this Section 7 shall limit any common law or statutory obligation that Executive may have to the Company or an Affiliate. The Company shall be entitled, in connection with its tax planning or other reasons, to terminate Executive’s employment (which termination shall not be considered a termination without Cause for purposes of this Agreement or otherwise) in connection with an invitation from an Affiliate to accept employment with such Affiliate.

(g) By signing this Agreement, Executive consents, of her own free will and although not required to do so under law, that the information in this Agreement and any information concerning her gathered by the Company, will be held and managed by the Company or on its behalf, inter alia, on databases according to law, and that the Company shall be entitled to transfer such information to third parties, in Israel or abroad.

EXHIBIT A

General Order and Confirmation Regarding Payments of Employers to Pension Funds and Insurance Funds instead of Severance Pay

Pursuant to the power granted to me under section 14 of the Severance Pay Law 5723-1963 (“Law”) I hereby confirm that payments paid by an employer, commencing the date hereof, to an employee’s comprehensive pension fund into a provident fund which is not an insurance fund, as defined in the Income Tax Regulations (Registration and Management Rules of a Provident Fund) 5724-1964 (“Pension Fund”), or to a Manager’s Insurance Fund that includes the possibility of an allowance or a combination of payments to an Allowance Plan and to a plan which is not an Allowance Plan in an Insurance Fund (“Insurance Fund”), including payments which the employer paid by combination of payments to a Pension Fund and to an Insurance Fund whether there exists a possibility in the Insurance Fund to an allowance plan (“Employer Payments”), will replace the severance pay that the employee is entitled to for the salary and period of which the payments were paid (“Exempt Wages”) if the following conditions are satisfied:

(1) Employer Payments –

(A)

for Pension Funds are not less than 14.33 % of the Exempt Wages or 12% of the Exempt Wages, if the employer pays for his employee an additional payment on behalf of the severance pay completion for a providence fund or Insurance Fund at the rate of 2.33% of the Exempt Wages. If an employer does not pay the additional 2.33% on top of the 12%, then the payment will constitute only 72% of the Severance Pay.

(B)

to the Insurance Fund are not less than one of the following:

(1)
