THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and

sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Employment.

Company hereby employs Executive, and Executive agrees to accept such employment, upon the terms and conditions herein set

forth.

 

2. Employment

Period. The term of employment hereunder shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until terminated as

provided herein (the “Employment Period”). Executive’s employment with Company is “at

will” and not for a fixed term and is subject to termination in accordance with this Agreement.

 

3.

Position and Duties. Executive hereby agrees to serve as both the Global Chief Marketing Officer (“CMO”)

of Parent and also as the Company’s interim Chief Growth Officer (the “CGO”). Under both positions, Executive

shall carry out those duties, services, responsibilities and authority customarily accorded a person holding such positions in

a company such as Company, including but not limited to those duties, services and responsibilities described in Exhibit

A attached hereto (collectively, the “Executive Duties”). As both CMO and CGO, Executive shall report

to both the Chief Executive Officer of Parent (the “Parent CEO”) and the Board of Directors of Parent (the

“Board”). Executive shall devote her reasonable best efforts and her full business time and attention to the

performance of the Executive Duties to Company in accordance with the terms hereof and as may reasonably be requested by Company.

Executive shall not engage in any other business or professional activities, either on a full- time or part-time basis, as an

employee, consultant or in any other capacity, whether or not she receives any compensation therefor, without the prior written

consent of the Parent CEO which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent

Executive from (a) making and managing personal investments consistent with Section 9 of this Agreement and any applicable Company

policies, (b) engaging in community and/or charitable activities, including serving as a trustee or board member of charitable

organizations, (c) engaging in industry-related activities such as serving on the board or committees of industry organizations,

for example but not limited to medical/prenatal, or (d) serving as a board member of up to three (3) med-technology companies,

so long as any of such activities, either singly or in the aggregate, do not interfere with the proper performance of the Executive

Duties or conflict or compete with Company’s activities as currently conducted or as proposed to be conducted during Executive’s

employment. Pursuant to the foregoing, Company hereby grants its consent for Executive to serve on up to three (3) Advisory Boards

for businesses which do not directly or indirectly compete with Company’s business. If Executive shall be asked to join

one or more boards of director during the Employment Period, Executive shall notify Company thereof in writing, and the parities

shall discuss Executive’s participation therewith with Company having final approval. Executive may also participate in

women’s leadership affiliations and activities. Subject to Executive’s compliance with the foregoing, Executive shall

sole discretion, additionally increase (but not decrease) the Base Salary. No additional compensation shall be payable to

Executive by reason of the number of hours worked or any hours worked on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays, by reason of special

withholdings).

 

(b) Bonus

Compensation. Executive shall be entitled to an annual cash bonus, as determined by the Board, payable to Executive

within sixty (60) days of the end of each financial year (the “Annual Bonus”); provided that, Executive

has successfully fulfilled the objectives set by the Board. Such objectives shall be comparable to objectives expected of

individuals in the same or similar position of Executive in Executive’s industry who are employed by similarly situated

organizations (i.e., taking into consideration factors like: the size of the Company, the maturity of its overall business,

market penetration, annual revenues and the like). Both the objectives and the degree of compliance with them shall be

determined by the Board in consultation with Executive and shared with the Executive at least thirty (30) days prior to the

financial year for which such objectives are expected to be fulfilled.

 

(c) Signing

Grant. In consideration for services rendered prior to the Effective Date, including without limitation for serving

Grant Date”), Executive shall receive a grant of option to purchase 170,889 Ordinary Shares (which equates to 1.25%

of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis), with an exercise price of USD$6.427/per

ordinary share (the “Equity Grant”), which shall vest in equal quarterly installments over the period beginning

on the Equity Grant Date and ending forty- eight (48) months thereafter; provided, that, Executive remains continuously

vesting upon a Change of Control of Company and such other accelerated vesting as provided in this Agreement or the Plan (and

any award agreement evidencing such grant, to the extent such award agreement contains more preferential terms). In the event

of Executive’s termination of employment for any reason other than cause, Executive shall retain her right to any vested

shares (after taking into account any accelerated vesting) and any portion of the Equity Grant that is not yet vested (after taking

into account such accelerated vesting) shall automatically be immediately forfeited to Company, without the payment of any consideration

to Executive. In addition, Executive shall be entitled to receive additional equity or equity-based awards, including stock options,

as determined by the Board (or the Compensation Committee of the Board) in its sole discretion. For the purposes of this Agreement,

hereto (the “Bonus Matrix”), Executive shall be entitled to receive performance based bonuses (each a “Performance

price equal to the greater of (i) $6.427/per Common Share; or (ii) such higher exercise price per Common Share as may be projected

from a Section 409A (as defined below) study at the time of such Option grant; or (iii) the fair market value of such Common Shares,

in such amount as set out in the Bonus Matrix beside such milestone. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Value”

shall mean the average price per share paid for Common Shares in an equity investment round in Company immediately prior to the

time the Performance Based Bonus is granted. The applicable Company Value on each Option granted to Executive during the term

of this Agreement shall be as set forth in the documentation provided to Executive by the Company upon each such grant.

(c)

Consequences of Termination without Cause or for Good Reason. If company terminates this Agreement or Executive’s

employment hereunder without Cause or if Executive terminates this Agreement or her employment hereunder with Good Reason as defined

in Section 5(g) hereof, Company shall: (i) pay Executive for all accrued but unpaid Base Salary as of the date of termination;

(ii) pay Executive, as severance pay, in equal installment amounts, an amount equal to six (6) months of her Base Salary, payable

over a period of six (6) months in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices, with such severance payments

commencing on the first pay period after the termination of Executive; (iii) pay Executive all accrued but unpaid Bonus Compensation

through the date of termination and for a period of six (6) months (giving Executive credit for those milestones and performance

goals that Executive successfully completed through the effective termination date) thereafter within thirty (30) days of the

termination of her employment; (iv) immediately vest in the number of equity or equity based awards that would have vested during

the following six (6) months following the effective date of termination of employment; (v) subject to Executive’s compliance

with the expense reimbursement terms hereunder, pay Executive all business expenses incurred by Executive up to and including

then Company’s obligation to pay for or reimburse Executive for health insurance costs will terminate when Executive’s

new health insurance benefit begins. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no compensation of any kind shall be payable to

Executive pursuant to this Section 5(c) unless or until Executive executes and delivers a full and general waiver and release

to Company (in favor of Company, its successors, assigns, Board members, officers, employees, affiliates, subsidiaries, parent

companies and representatives), in a form and content reasonably acceptable to Company and Executive, such waiver and release

to be delivered by Executive within ten (10) days after the termination of her employment (unless applicable law requires a longer

time period, in which case this date will be extended to the minimum time required by applicable law).

 

(d)

Consequences of Termination With Cause or Without Good Reason. If Company terminates this Agreement or Executive’s employment

hereunder with Cause or Executive terminates this Agreement or her employment hereunder without Good Reason, then (i) Executive’s

Base Salary shall be discontinued upon the termination of the Agreement or her employment hereunder, (ii) no Bonus Compensation, accrued

or otherwise, shall be payable for the year in which the termination with Cause or without Good Reason occurs, (iii) to the extent permitted

including, but not limited to all Bonus Compensation earned, but not yet paid, for the year preceding the year in which such termination

occurs, payment for all accrued, unused vacation, reimbursement of all business expenses incurred through the date of termination, and

all vested benefits to which the employee is entitled. In addition, Executive and her eligible dependents shall be entitled to continue

all group health benefits at her or their expense, pursuant to applicable law. No determination of “Cause” by the Company

may be made until Executive has been given written notice detailing the specific event constituting such Cause and a period of fifteen

(15) days following receipt of such notice to cure such event (if susceptible to cure), and, if such event is not curable or is not cured

to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction, an opportunity (with legal counsel if so requested in writing by Executive) to discuss

the specific circumstances alleged to give rise to the Cause event. Subject to Executive’s right to cure, if Executive’s

employment is terminated for Cause, the termination shall take effect on the effective date of such termination as specified in the written

notice of such termination delivered to Executive. If the Company attempts to terminate Executive’s employment with Cause and it

is ultimately determined by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction that the Company lacked Cause, Executive shall be entitled

to receive the payments set forth under Paragraph 5(c) in addition to any other relief to which Executive may be entitled.

(e) Consequences

of Termination for Death or Disability. In the event of the Executive’s death, Executive’s employment shall

automatically cease and terminate as of the date of death. If Executive suffers a Disability (as defined herein), the Company

may terminate Executive’s employment upon thirty (30) days written notice to Executive. In the event of the termination

of employment due to Executive’s death or Disability, Executive or her estate or legal representatives shall be paid by

the Company within thirty (30) days of such event:

 

(i)

payment for all accrued but unpaid Base Salary and Bonus Compensation as of the date of Executive’s termination of

employment and for a period of three (3) months thereafter;

 

(ii)

reimbursement for business expenses incurred by the Executive up to and including the date on which employment is

terminated;

 

(iii)

any earned benefits to which the Executive may be entitled as of the date of termination pursuant to the terms of any

compensation or benefit plans to the extent permitted by such plans; and

 

(iv)

any annual incentive bonuses earned but not yet paid for any completed full fiscal year immediately preceding the employment

termination date.

 

In

the case of a Disability, Executive shall also receive any applicable payments and benefits pursuant to any disability plan or policy

sponsored or maintained by Company. The unvested Equity Grant shall remain outstanding in accordance with their existing terms and conditions.

 

(f)

Fringe Benefits. In

the case of termination under Sections 5(a), (b), (d) or (e) above, inclusive, subject to applicable law, Company shall

discontinue any other benefits and perquisites provided under Section 4 above that are not otherwise provided for

effective as of the date that Company’s obligation to pay Base Salary terminates.

 

(g)

Definition of Good Reason. “Good Reason” means without Executive’s written consent: (i) a reduction

by Company in Executive’s Base Salary or other benefits as in effect from time to time; (ii) Company materially reduces

(including as a result of any co-sharing of responsibilities arrangement), other than during any period of illness or incapacity,

Executive’s authority, responsibilities, or duties such that Executive no longer has the title of, or serves or functions

as CMO of Company or no longer reports directly to the Parent CEO and the Board; (iii) Company fails to maintain any fringe benefits

or perquisites in which Executive participates; (iv) Company fails to obtain the written assumption of its obligations under this

Agreement by a successor not later than the consummation of a merger, consolidation or sale of Company; or (v) failure by Company

to pay Executive in accordance with the terms hereof. A termination by Executive under Sections 5(g)(i), 5(g)(ii), 5(g)(iii),

5(g)(iv) or 5(g)(v) will not be considered a termination for Good Reason unless within thirty (30) days of the last event relied

upon by Executive to establish Good Reason or Executive’s knowledge thereof, Executive furnishes Company with a written

statement specifying the reason or reasons why she believes she is entitled to terminate her employment for Good Reason and affords

Company at least thirty (30) days during which to remedy the cause thereof. Such thirty (30)-day notice period may run concurrently

with the thirty (30)-day notice specified in Section 5(a) above. Any such termination by Executive shall not be deemed a breach

of the Agreement. If Company timely cures the condition (to the reasonable satisfaction of Executive) giving rise to Good Reason

for Executive’s resignation, the notice of termination shall become null and void. If Company does not timely cure (to the

reasonable satisfaction of Executive) the condition giving rise to Good Reason, Executive’s termination of employment shall

be effective as of the end of such cure period.

(h) Definition

of Cause. “Cause” means a good faith finding by Company of: (i) Executive’s conviction of, or

entrance of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony under federal law or state law; (ii) fraudulent conduct by

Executive in connection with the business affairs of Company; (iii) theft, embezzlement, or other criminal misappropriation

of funds by Executive (other than good faith expense account disputes or de minimis amounts); (iv) Executive’s

willful refusal to materially perform her executive duties hereunder (except where due to Disability or where performance of

Executive’s duties is prohibited by law) which failure or refusal is not corrected by Executive within thirty (30)

business days following receipt by Executive of written notice from Company of such willful refusal, and the actions required

to correct the same, to the satisfaction of the Parent CEO; (v) Executive’s willful misconduct, which has, or would

have if generally known, a materially adverse effect on the business or reputation of Company; and/or (vi) Executive’s

material breach of a covenant, representation, warranty or obligation of Executive under this Agreement. For purposes of this

Paragraph, an act or failure to act shall be considered “willful” only if done or omitted to be done without a

good faith reasonable belief that such act or failure to act was in the best interests of Company.

 

(i) Definition

of Disability. “Disability” means Executive’s inability, because of physical or

mental illness or injury, substantially to perform her duties hereunder as a result of physical incapacity for a continuous

period of at least four (4) continuous months. The existence of a Disability means that Executive cannot perform the

essential functions of her position with or without reasonable accommodation. Any dispute as to Executive’s

incapacitation shall be resolved by an independent physician selected by the Board and reasonably acceptable to Executive,

whose determination shall be final and binding upon both Executive and Company.

by Executive for Good Reason, Executive shall not own a majority interest in, operate, control, or serve as an executive of any corporation,

partnership, proprietorship, firm, association, or other entity that primarily engages in any Company Activity in which Company is engaged

at the time of termination, and/or was engaged during the one (1) year period prior thereto. This Covenant (as defined below) applies

to Company Activities in any territory or jurisdiction in which Company is doing business or is making an active effort to do business

at the time of termination, and/or was engaged during the one (1) year period prior thereto. This Covenant does not prohibit the ownership

of less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of any public corporation, as long as Executive is not otherwise in violation

of this Covenant.

 

(c)

No Diversion. During the term of her employment with Company and for a period of one (1) year following the termination thereof,

Executive covenants and agrees that Executive shall not divert or attempt to divert any actual or potential business opportunities of

Company (e.g., joint ventures, other business combinations, investment opportunities, potential investors in Company, and other

similar opportunities) which Executive became aware of as the result of her employment with Company.

 

(d) Non-Disparagement.

Executive shall not at any time (whether during or after the termination of her employment) make any statement or disclosure or

otherwise cause or permit to be stated or disclosed any information which is designed or intended to have a negative impact or

adverse effect on Company or its business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement or in this Section

9(d) in particular prohibits Executive or is intended to prohibit Executive from providing truthful information about her employment

or Company to any governmental entity, regulatory agency, judicial or dispute resolution forum, or to interfere with or prevent

Executive from commencing, defending or participating fully in a judicial proceeding or dispute resolution process. This Section

9(d) may be raised by Executive as a complete bar to any claim of Cause hereunder or any proceeding brought under Section 9(f) to

the extent the claim of Cause or the proceeding concerns a statement or disclosure permissible under this Section 9(d). Company

shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time (whether during or after the termination of Executive’s employment) make any

statement or disclosure or otherwise cause or permit to be stated or disclosed any information which is designed or intended to have

a negative impact or adverse effect on Executive.

 

    10

     

    

 

(e)

Non-Recruitment. Executive agrees that Company has invested substantial time and effort in assembling its present workforce. Accordingly,

Executive covenants and agrees that during her employment and for a period of two (2) years following the termination of the Employment

Period, Executive shall not hire away, nor directly or indirectly entice or solicit or seek to induce or influence any of Company’s

executives to leave their employment.

 

(f)

Remedies. Executive acknowledges that should she violate any of the covenants

contained in Sections 7, 8 and 9(a), (b), (c), and (d) above (collectively, the “Covenants”), it will be difficult

to determine the resulting damages to Company and, in addition to any other remedies it may have, Company shall be entitled to seek temporary

injunctive relief without being required to post a bond and permanent injunctive relief. Executive shall be liable to pay all costs including

reasonable attorneys’ fees which Company may incur in enforcing or defending, to any extent, the Covenants, whether or not litigation

is actually commenced and including litigation of any appeal taken or defended by Company, where Company succeeds in enforcing any part

of the Covenants, and Company shall be liable to pay all costs including reasonable attorneys’ fees which Executive may incur in

defending, to any extent, any claim that she has violated or intends to violate any of the Covenants, whether or not litigation is actually

commenced and including litigation of any appeal taken or defended by Executive, where Company does not succeed in enforcing the Covenants.

Company may elect to seek one or more of these remedies at its sole discretion on a case by case basis. Failure to seek any or all remedies

in one case does not restrict Company from seeking any remedies in another situation. Such action by Company shall not constitute a waiver

of any of its rights.

 

(g)

Severability and Modification of Any Unenforceable Covenant. It is the parties’ intent that each of the Covenants be read

and interpreted with every reasonable inference given to its enforceability. However, it is also the parties’ intent that if any

term, provision or condition of the Covenants is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions thereof shall

remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. Finally, it is also the parties’ intent

that if it is determined that any of the Covenants are unenforceable for any reason, such Covenant shall be modified so as to make it

reasonable and enforceable under the prevailing circumstances.

 

(h)

Tolling. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Executive breached any Covenant, the running of the period

of the restriction shall be automatically tolled and suspended for the amount of time that the breach continues, and shall automatically

recommence when the breach is remedied so that Company shall receive the benefit of Executive’s compliance with the Covenants.

This Section shall not apply to any period for which Company is awarded and receives actual monetary damages for breach by Executive

of a Covenant with respect to which this Section applies.

 

(i)

Construction. Any reference to Company in this Section 9 shall include Company and/or its subsidiaries.

 

    11

     

    

 

10. No

Assignment.

 

This

Agreement and the rights and duties hereunder are personal to Executive and shall not be assigned, delegated, transferred, pledged

or sold by Executive without the prior written consent of Company. Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that Company may assign,

delegate, transfer, pledge or sell this Agreement and the rights and duties hereunder (a) to an affiliate of Company or (b) to any

third party in connection with (i) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Company or (ii) an equity purchase, merger,

(d)

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,

such provision shall be severed and enforced to the extent possible or modified in such a way as to make it enforceable, and the invalidity,

illegality or unenforceability thereof shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this

Agreement.

 

(e)

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey applicable

to contracts executed in and to be performed entirely within that state, except with respect to matters of law concerning the internal

corporate affairs of any corporate entity which is a party to or the subject of this Agreement, and as to those matters, the law of the

jurisdiction under which the respective entity derives its powers shall govern. The parties irrevocably agree that all actions to enforce

an arbitrator’s decision pursuant to Section 11(m) of this Agreement shall be instituted and litigated only in federal, state or

local courts sitting in Newark, New Jersey and each of such parties hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such court

and waives any objection based on forum non conveniens.

 

(f)

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE, RELEASE AND RELINQUISH ANY AND ALL RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH

RESPECT TO ANY ACTIONS TO ENFORCE AN ARBITRATOR’S DECISION PURSUANT TO SECTION 11(l) OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

(g)

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute

one and the same instrument. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission

will be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

 

    12

     

    

 

(h)

Entire Understanding. This Agreement, all Exhibits and Recitals hereto which are incorporated herein by this reference, together

with the other agreements and documents being executed and delivered concurrently herewith by Executive, Company and certain of its affiliates,

constitute the entire understanding among all of the parties hereto and supersedes any prior understandings and agreements, written or

oral, among them respecting the subject matter within.

 

(i)

Pronouns and Headings. As used herein, all pronouns shall include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural thereof

wherever the context and facts require such construction. The headings, titles and subtitles herein are inserted for convenience of reference

only and are to be ignored in any construction of the provisions hereof.

 

(j)

Amendments. Except as set forth in Sections 9(g) and 11(d) above, this Agreement

shall not be changed or amended unless in writing and signed by both Executive and Company.

 

(k)

Executive’s Representations. Executive hereby represents and warrants to Company that (i) the execution, delivery and performance

of this Agreement by Executive does not and shall not conflict with, breach, violate or cause default under any contract, agreement,

instrument, order, judgment or decree to which Executive is a party or by which she is bound, (ii) Executive is not a party to or bound

by any employment agreement, non-compete agreement or confidentiality agreement with any other person or entity that restricts Executive

from serving in the position and/or performing the Executive Duties set forth herein and (iii) upon the execution and delivery of this

Agreement by Company, this Agreement shall be the valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Executive further represents and warrants to Company that Executive has never (i) filed for personal bankruptcy; (ii) been the subject

of an SEC disciplinary matter or been sanctioned by the SEC; (iii) been convicted or plead no contest to any crime (other than minor

traffic violations); or (iv) been held liable in a court of law for acts of dishonesty in a business context.

 

(l)

Executive’s Acknowledgement. Executive acknowledges (i) that she has consulted with or has had the opportunity to consult

with independent counsel of her own choice concerning this Agreement and has been advised to do so by Company, and (ii) that she has

read and understands this Agreement, is fully aware of its legal effect, and has entered into it freely based on her own judgment. Executive

shall be reimbursed by Company for the reasonable expense of review of this Agreement by such counsel, within thirty (30) days receipt

of written request by Executive therefor up to the sum of US$1,000.00.

 

(m) Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 11(e) hereof, in the event that there shall be a dispute among the parties

arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, the parties agree that such dispute shall be resolved by final

and binding arbitration in New York, New York, administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”),

in accordance with AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules, to which shall be added the provisions of the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure relating to the Production of Evidence, and the parties agree that the arbitrators may impose sanctions in their

discretion to enforce compliance with discovery and other obligations. Such arbitration shall be presided over by a single

arbitrator. If Executive, on the one hand, and Company, on the other hand, do not agree on the arbitrator within fifteen (15) days

after a party requests arbitration, the arbitrator shall be selected by Company and Executive from a list of five (5) potential

arbitrators provided by AAA. Such list shall be provided within ten (10) days of the request of any party for arbitration. The party

requesting arbitration shall delete one name from the list. The other party shall delete one name from the list. This process shall

then be repeated in the same order, and the last remaining person on the list shall be the arbitrator. This selection process shall

take place within the two (2) business days following both parties’ receipt of the list of five (5) potential arbitrators.

Hearings in the arbitration proceedings shall commence within twenty (20) days of the selection of the arbitrator or as soon

thereafter as the arbitrator is available. The arbitrator shall deliver her or her opinion within twenty (20) days after the

completion of the arbitration hearings. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding upon the parties, and may be

entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction by either of the parties. The arbitrator shall have the power to grant

temporary, preliminary and permanent relief, including without limitation, injunctive relief and specific performance. Unless

otherwise ordered by the arbitrator pursuant to this Agreement, the arbitrator’s fees and expenses shall be shared equally by

the parties.

 

    13

     

    

 

(n)

Attorney’s Fees. If any arbitration is brought under Section 11(m), the arbitrator may award the successful or prevailing

party reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in that action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which

it may be entitled. If any other proceeding is brought by one party against the other in connection with or relating in any manner to

this Agreement, or to enforce an arbitration award, the successful or prevailing party (as determined by an independent third party,

e.g. a judge) shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in that action or proceeding,

in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

 

(o)

Special Payment Provision. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary:

 

(i)

This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) and regulations

promulgated thereunder such that no payment provided hereunder shall be subject to an “additional tax” within the meaning

of Section 409A. To the extent that any provision in this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A, the provision

shall be read in such a manner so that all payments due under this Agreement shall not be subject to any additional tax. For purposes

of Section 409A, each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. In no event may Executive, directly or

indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment. All reimbursements provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance

with the requirements of section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred

during Executive’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible

for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (iii) the

reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense

is incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

 

(ii)

If payment or provision of any amount or other benefit that is a “deferral of compensation” subject to section 409A of

the Code at the time otherwise specified in this Agreement or elsewhere would subject such amount of benefit to additional tax

pursuant to section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code, and if payment or provision thereof at a later date would avoid any such additional

tax, then the payment or provision thereof shall be postponed to the earliest date on which such amount or benefit can be paid or

provided without incurring such additional tax. In the event this Section 11(o)(ii) requires a deferral of any payment, such payment

shall be accumulated and paid in a single lump sum on such earliest date together with interest for the period of delay, compounded

annually, equal to the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal), and in effect as of the date of the payment

should otherwise have been provided.

 

    14

     

    

 

(iii)

If any payment or benefit permitted or required under this Agreement is reasonably determined by either party to be subject for any

reason to a material risk of additional tax pursuant to section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code, then the parties shall promptly agree in

good faith on appropriate provisions to avoid such risk without materially changing the economic value of this Agreement to either

party.

 

(p) Indemnification.

Company shall indemnify, defend and hold Executive harmless, to the maximum extent permitted by law, against all judgments, fines,

amounts paid in settlement and all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred by Executive, in connection with

the defense of, or as a result of, any action or proceeding (or any appeal from any action or proceeding) in which Executive is made

or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that Executive is or was an officer or director of Company, regardless of

whether such action or proceeding is one brought by or in the right of Company. Each of the parties hereto shall give prompt notice

to the other of any action or proceeding from which Company is obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Executive of which

it or she (as the case may be) gains knowledge. Company agrees that Executive shall be covered and insured up to the full limits

provided by all directors’ and officers’ insurance which Company then maintains to indemnify its directors and officers

(and to indemnify Company for any obligations which it incurs as a result of its undertaking to indemnify its officers and

directors), subject to applicable deductibles and to the terms and conditions of such policies.

 

(q) Survival.

Sections 6, 7, 8 and 9 (as well as any provisions of this Agreement necessary to give effect thereto) shall survive the termination

of this Agreement.

Performance Terms/Mechanism:

 

1.

Whereupon the Company’s pre-money valuation reaches any of the min/max ranges set forth above, Executive will be entitled to receive

a grant of the corresponding options designated for such range.

 

2.

Each option grant will vest over the following 4 consecutive quarters: March 31st, June 30th, September

30th, and December 31st. The first such vesting date to occur on the first quarter following the grant. The

grant shall only continue to vest so long as Executive remains an employee of the Company.

 

3.

In the event one of the min/max ranges is not achieved but a subsequent range is, Executive will receive a catch-up grant of options

equal to the corresponding accumulative aggregation options designated for such range. By way of example, if the Company misses the $250,000,000

- $275,000,000 range (and as a result, Executive is not given an option grant of 10,000 ordinary shares), but achieves the $450,000,000

- $500,000,000 range, Executive will receive a grant of options equal to such number that ensures Executive will have been granted options

for 33,500 ordinary shares.

 

4.

The only valid occurrences (each, a “Valuation Event”) upon which a binding valuation for the Company shall be set for purposes

of this Exhibit B are: (i) an equity fundraising transaction, (ii) the sale (stock or asset) or merger of the Company in an arm’s

length transaction to an unrelated third party purchaser, or (iii) a liquidation event.

 

5.

The exercise price of each grant shall be set based upon the applicable valuation associated with the corresponding Valuation Event,

but in no event less than USD$6.427.

 

6.

Under no circumstances shall Executive be entitled to receive an option (s) for the purchase of more than 78,500 ordinary shares of

the Company pursuant to this Growth Performance Award.

 

    17

     

    

 

7.

Executive will be solely responsible for all taxes associated with the granting and/or exercising of any option pursuant to this Exhibit

B.

 

8.

Except as otherwise provided hereunder to the contrary, any option granted to Executive pursuant to this Exhibit B shall be subject

to the terms applicable to the Parent’s 2015 Share Incentive Plan referenced hereunder.

Letter
Agreement re. Employment Agreement

 

Dear
Debra,

 

We
are writing to you in connection with that certain employment agreement that both Nuvo-Group USA, Inc. (“Nuvo”) and
you executed on February 8th, 2018 (the “Employment Agreement”). The purpose of this letter agreement is to clarify
and amend certain provisions contained in your Employment Agreement.

 

		a)	Notwithstanding the “Effective
                                                                                                                                                                   Date” referenced in the second recital of your Employment Agreement, namely, March 12, 2018, your actual starting date was
                                                                                                                                                                   March 19th 2018. Accordingly, for purposes of your Employment Agreement, the term “Effective Date” shall
                                                                                                                                                                   refer to March 19th, 2018.

 

		b)	Section
                                            4(d) of your Employment Agreement is hereby revised and replaced in its entirety with the
                                            following:

 

		(d)	Subject
                                            to Executive’s execution of any and all documents and instruments related to the issuance
                                            of stock and grants of equity as may be requested by Company from time to time (e.g., restricted
                                            stock agreements in such form and substance as may reasonably be determined by Company),
                                            Executive shall receive an option (the “Option”) to purchase 170,889 Ordinary
                                            Shares (which equates to 1.25% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company
                                            on a fully diluted basis), with an exercise price of USD$6.427/per ordinary share (the “Equity
                                            Grant”), which shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with the following
                                            schedule: (i) twenty-five (25%} percent of the Ordinary Shares covered by the Option shall
                                            vest on the first anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Equity Grant Date”),
                                            and (ii) six and one quarter (6.25%) percent of the remaining Ordinary Shares covered by
                                            the option shall vest at the end of each subsequent three (3) month period thereafter over
                                            the course of the subsequent three (3) years; provided, that, Executive remains continuously
                                            employed by Company from the Equity Grant Date through each applicable and subsequent vesting
                                            date. The Equity Grant shall be subject to accelerated vesting upon a Change of Control of
                                            Company and such other accelerated vesting as provided in this Agreement or the Plan (and
                                            any award agreement evidencing such grant, to the extent such award agreement contains more
                                            preferential terms). In the event of Executive’s termination of employment for any
                                            reason other than cause, Executive shall retain her right to any vested shares (after taking
                                            into account any accelerated vesting) and any portion of the Equity Grant that is not yet
                                            vested (after taking into account such accelerated vesting) shall automatically be immediately
                                            forfeited to Company, without the payment of any consideration to Executive. In addition,
                                            Executive shall be entitled to receive additional equity or equity-based awards, including
                                            stock options, as determined by the Board (or the Compensation Committee of the Board) in
                                            its sole discretion. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Ordinary Shares”
