Supplement
and Changes to the conditions of the employment agreement signed on July 14,
2008
Between: Samdar
Shaked (the “Employee”)
And
Between: QBI
Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”)
Whereas,
the Company and the Employee have signed an Employment Agreement since September
14, 1997, which has been updated by both parties from time to time, (the “Employment
Agreement”).
Whereas,
both parties want to change the terms of the Employment Agreement
Accordingly,
the following has been agreed to by the parties:
1. It
is agreed that the unpaid leave taken by the Employee will end on July 15, 2008,
and on that date the Employee will return to work.
2. Section
3 of the Employment Agreement — The Employee’s monthly salary starting from July
15, 2008 will be 47,700 NIS per month.
3. In
Section 5(A)(II) — It is agreed that the advance notice given to the Employee
will be changed from 60 days to 120 days.
4. The
parties have agreed that starting July 15, 2008, instead of severance pay, they
will adopt the conditions of Section 14 of the Severance Pay Law and the general
conditions regarding employer payments to pension and insurance
funds. For the purpose of the above change, the sides will sign on
Appendix A, attached. (To remove all doubt, it is understood that the
salary increase according to this Supplement is done after the aforementioned
conditions have been adopted, that is, the previous obligation for severance pay
will not apply for the period before the adoption of Section 14.)
5. Except
for what was said in this supplement, the remaining conditions of the Employment
Agreement shall remain as is, without change and in full effect.
