a Contract of Employment. This Agreement is not a contract of employment, and the terms of employment of the Executive or the employment relationship of the Executive with the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall not be affected in any
way by this Agreement except as specifically provided herein. The execution of this Agreement shall not be construed as conferring any legal rights upon the Executive for a continuation of employment or employment relationship with the Company or
any subsidiary of the Company, nor (without limitation to the rights of the Executive under this Agreement) shall it interfere with the right of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to discharge the Executive and to treat the Executive
without regard to the effect which that treatment might have upon the Executive as a holder of the Option.

 l. Assignment. Neither party may assign its or his rights or duties under this Agreement. If any such
assignment or delegation requires consent of any state securities authorities, the parties hereto agree to cooperate in requesting such consent. The Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner
by the Executive other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Executive, only by the Executive; provided, however, that the Executive may direct under Section 3(c) that Ordinary
Shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Option shall be issued to his nominee. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties and, subject to the restrictions set forth herein, be binding upon
the Executive, his heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.
