(the “Effective Date”), the Employee shall be a full time employee of the
Company, under the terms herein.



 


		The position of the Employee shall be: VP Operations



 


		The Employee shall report to the Company’s CEO.



 


		The Company may approve a change in the position, reporting structure,
title, responsibilities and authority of the Employee; and such change shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement provided,
however, that Employee’s remuneration shall not be derogated from.



 


	1.2	The Employee agrees to dedicate the Employee’s time, experience,
talent, expertise and knowledge to the Company, and to fulfill the Employee’s job in the Company in a loyal and dedicated
manner, and in accordance with the policies, codes and instructions of the Employee’s superiors in the Company.



 


	1.3	During the period of this Agreement, the Employee shall not engage
in any professional activity, commercial or otherwise, unless consented to by the Company in writing. Such approved activity may
not intrude with the Employee’s work in the Company in terms of time schedule (to the extent agreed upon herein), conflict
of interests or competition. 



 


	1.4	The Employee is not allowed to obligate and/or bind the Company
in any way and/or create any commitments, except as expressly authorized.



 


	1.5	All reasonable procedures and directives of the Company applicable
to subjects of work behavior, discipline etc., will have a binding effect on the Employee provided, however, that such policies
have been brought to the Employee’s attention in advance.



 


		The Employee hereby confirms that: (i) no compensation or remuneration
from any third party has been or shall be given with respect to the Employee’s employment with the Company; and (ii) the
Employee shall not accept from any third party any gifts, gratuities, kickbacks or bribes.

	1.7	Failure or delay of either party to require the performance of

of such terms, nor be deemed a waiver of any subsequent or prolonged breach.



  


	1.8	The amount and details of the Employee’s salary and other
benefits are confidential. This information may not be disclosed by the Employee to other employees nor may such information be
published to people who are not authorized by the Company, unless legally required to do so.



 


	2.	Remuneration



 


	2.1	Salary: the Employee's gross salary will be NIS
26400 per month (the “Salary”).



 


	2.2	Overtime payment: Notwithstanding the above, the parties
confirm that the Employee’s job will require overtime work and work at irregular hours, without the need to approve each
such hour. In consideration thereof, the Company will pay the Employee a gross sum of NIS 6600
per month (the "Global Overtime Payment"), which the parties estimate to be
a fair average compensation for the overtime work and work at irregular hours per each month of employment, provided that, the
Employee does not work more than 43 overtime hours per month (the “Ceiling”).



 


		The Employee will be allowed to work over the above Ceiling only
with the prior written approval of the Company’s CEO per each month in which such additional above the Ceiling overtime hours
are required.



 


		Subject to receiving the CEO’s above prior approval per
each month, overtime hours beyond the Ceiling, will entitle the Employee to receive compensation as required by law.



 


		If the Employee or any third party on the Employee’s behalf
file a claim against the Company for payment on overtime hours which exceed the terms set forth in this Section 2.2, the Company
shall be entitled to offset the entire Global Overtime Payment that it had paid to the Employee against any sums ruled in favor
of the Employee in such claim.



 


	2.3	The Salary and the Global Overtime Payment will be payable until
the 10th of each month for the previous month. All benefits due to the Employee as set forth in this Agreement or by law shall
be provided on the Salary and the Global Overtime Payment, but not on payment due to overtime hours exceeding the Ceiling. Taxes,
social security payments, social benefits and other obligatory payments which are to be borne by the Employee according to applicable
laws and regulations - will be deducted from all the above payments.



 


	2.4	The parties confirm that the Employee’s job will require
work at long and irregular hours including extensive travel and the compensation for such work is included in the aforesaid Salary
and Global Overtime Payment and the other terms of this Agreement.
