The Company shall deduct from the salary all national insurance fees, health insurance fees, income tax and any other amounts required by law, and shall provide the Employee with requisite documentation regarding such deductions.
The duties of the Employee in accordance with this Agreement involve duties that require of him special personal care and loyalty, and therefore the directives of the Work Hours and Rest Law, 1951, or any law to be enacted in its place, will not be applicable to the Employee or to his activities which he will perform for the Company. The Employee will not be entitled to remuneration according to the Work Hours and Rest Law, 1951.

Within ten days after the end of each month during the employment of Employee hereunder (or such other day as is consistent with the Company’s general practices), the Company shall pay an aggregate amount equal to 18-1/3% of the Employee’s monthly Salary for the preceding month to a Managers Insurance (Bituach Manahalim) policy (the “Policy”) and/or a comprehensive pension plan (“Pension Plan”) through an agency and with an insurance company or a pension fund, to be selected by the Employee, to be divided as follows: 8-1/3% towards Severance (the “Company’s Severance Contribution”); 5% toward provident (compensation).

| (e) | Vacation/Sick Leave/Vacation allowance (Recuperation Pay). |
The Employee shall be entitled to Twenty (20) working days of paid vacation annually during the term of this Agreement (prorated for any calendar year during which he is employed hereunder).
