The Company has adopted the corporate governance
structure set forth in Regulation 5D of the Israeli Companies Regulations (Relief for Public Companies with Shares Listed for Trading

At any point in time, should the Company no longer
operate pursuant to the corporate governance structure set forth in Regulation 5D of the Relief Regulations, whether by reason of ineligibility

At any point in time, should the Company no longer
operate pursuant to the corporate governance structure set forth in Regulation 5D of the Relief Regulations, whether by reason of ineligibility
or due to a Board resolution, and the Company appoints External Directors to the Board, then no member of the Audit Committee may receive
from the Company, whether directly or indirectly, any fee or compensation except as provided in the Companies Law and Regulations promulgated

Committee to such position).
