EXHIBIT 4.1
DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Description of Capital Stock
General
The following is a summary of information concerning capital stock of Blackbaud, Inc (the "Company"). The summaries and descriptions below do not purport to be complete statements of the relevant provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, each of which are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.1 is a part, and are entirely qualified by these documents. We encourage you to read our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law for additional information.
Common stock
Shares Authorized
The Company is authorized to issue up to 180,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, which is the only class of the Company's securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Voting rights
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders, and there are no cumulative voting rights. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by all shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy, voting together as a single class, subject to any voting rights granted to holders of any preferred stock; provided, however, that in all director elections that are contested, the nominees for election as a director shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. For purposes of the foregoing, an election shall be “contested” if, as of the tenth day preceding the date of the filing of the Company’s definitive proxy statement for such meeting of stockholders, the number of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected. Our board of directors is divided into three classes of directors, as described below.
Dividend rights
The holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratable dividends, if any, payable in cash, in stock or otherwise, as and when declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, subject to any preferential rights that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock.
Other rights and preferences
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, after payment in full of all outstanding debts and other liabilities, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all remaining assets, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding. No shares of common stock have preemptive rights or other subscription rights to purchase additional shares of common stock. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences, and privileges of holders of common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future, as described below. All shares of common stock that are acquired by us shall be available for reissuance by us at any time.
Anti-takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Certain provisions of Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws discussed below may have the effect of discouraging or making more difficult a tender offer, proxy contest or other takeover attempt, including discouraging attempts that might result in the payment of a premium over the market price for the shares of our common stock.

Delaware anti-takeover law
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless:
		
	•
	the board of directors approved the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder prior to the date the interested stockholder attained that status;

		
	•
	when the stockholder became an interested stockholder, he or she owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, as well as certain shares owned by employee benefits plans; or

		
	•
	on or subsequent to the date the business combination is approved by the board of directors, the business combination is authorized by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the voting stock of the corporation at an annual or special meeting of stockholders.

Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation, and within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock.
Certificate of incorporation and bylaws provisions
Classified board of directors. Our board of directors is divided into three classes of directors, as nearly equal in number as possible, with each class serving a staggered term of three years. Any vacancy on the board of directors, regardless of the reason for the vacancy, may be filled by vote of the majority of the directors then in office, except in the case of a vacancy caused by action of our stockholders, which vacancy may only be filled by our stockholders. Directors may be removed from office at any time with or without cause, but only by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors. The classification of directors will have the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of our board of directors and could also discourage a third-party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our Company, and may maintain the incumbency of our board of directors.
Advance notice requirement for stockholder proposals. Our bylaws contain an advance notice procedure for stockholders proposals to be brought before a meeting of stockholders, including any proposed nominations of persons for election to our board of directors. Stockholders at a meeting may only consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting, or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of our board of directors or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who has given to our secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’s intention to bring that business before the meeting, and who has otherwise complied with our bylaws. Although the bylaws do not give our board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting of the stockholders, the bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed, or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our Company.
“Blank” Preferred Stock. Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series and to determine, with respect to any such class or series, the designations, powers, preferences and rights of such class or series, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, liquidation preferences, and the number of shares constituting any class or series or the designation of such class or series, without further vote or action by the stockholders. This preferred stock could have terms that may discourage a potential acquirer from making, without first negotiating with the board of directors, an acquisition attempt through which such acquirer may be able to change the composition of the board of directors, including a tender offer or other takeover attempt. No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding.
Emergency Special Board Meeting. Our board of directors possesses the authority to call and hold emergency special board meetings with less than forty-eight hours’ notice. This power to hold an emergency special board meeting on short notice could discourage a potential acquirer from launching a bid to acquire majority ownership of the Company, a proxy solicitation in order to replace the current board of directors, or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, as such attempts could quickly be thwarted or denied by the board of directors.

VOTING AGREEMENT 
 This
Voting Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of February 19, 2020, is entered into by and between the undersigned shareholder (“Shareholder”) of EXALENZ BIOSCIENCE LTD., a company organized under the laws of
the State of Israel (the “Company”), and MERIDIAN BIOSCIENCE, INC., a company organized under the laws of the State of Ohio (“Parent”). Parent and Shareholder are each sometimes referred to herein individually as a

 WHEREAS, concurrently with or following the execution of
this Agreement, the Company, Parent, and APM TRUST SHELF 14 LTD., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), have entered, or will enter, into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), providing for, among other things, the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub and the Company pursuant to the terms
and conditions of the Merger Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, in order to induce Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement, Shareholder is willing to
make certain representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements as set forth in this Agreement with respect to the ordinary shares, par value One New Israeli Shekel (NIS 1.00) per share, of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”)
Beneficially Owned by Shareholder and set forth below Shareholder’s signature on the signature page hereto (the “Original Shares” and, together with any additional equity securities of the Company pursuant to Section 6
hereof, the “Shares”); 
 WHEREAS, Shareholder believes that the terms of the Merger and the Merger Agreement are fair and
that it is in his best interest, as a shareholder in the Company, that the Merger be consummated; and 
 WHEREAS, as a condition to its
willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that Shareholder, and Shareholder has agreed to, execute and deliver this Agreement and to undertake in advance to Vote his Shares in favor of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and
the transactions contemplated thereby, and Shareholder agrees to undertake such obligation. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency, and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending
to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used and
not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement. When used in this Agreement, the following terms in all of their tenses, cases, and correlative forms shall have the meanings assigned to
them in this Section 1. 
 (a) “Beneficially Own” or “Beneficial Ownership” has the meaning assigned
to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and a Person’s beneficial ownership of securities shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of such rule (in each case, irrespective of
whether or not such rule is actually applicable in such circumstance). For the avoidance of doubt, “Beneficially Own” and “Beneficial Ownership” shall also include record ownership of securities. 

 (b) “Beneficial Owner” shall mean the Person who Beneficially Owns the
referenced securities. 
 (c) “Vote” or “Voting” shall mean voting in person or by proxy in favor of or
against any action or otherwise consenting or withholding consent in lieu of such voting in respect of any action. 
 2.
Representations and Warranties of Shareholder. Shareholder represents and warrants to Parent that: 
 (a) Ownership of
Shares. Shareholder: (i) is the Beneficial Owner of all of the Original Shares free and clear of any Liens, other than (i) those created by this Agreement or under applicable federal or state securities laws or (ii) adverse claims
as would not prohibit, limit or otherwise conflict with Shareholder’s compliance with its obligations pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) except for proxies and restrictions in favor of Parent pursuant to this Agreement, has the sole
voting power over all of the Original Shares. Except pursuant to this Agreement, there are no options, warrants, or other rights, agreements, arrangements, or commitments of any character to which Shareholder is a party relating to the pledge,

Agreement and to perform fully Shareholder’s obligations hereunder (including the proxy described in Section 3(b) below)). This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Shareholder and constitutes the legal, valid, and
binding obligation of Shareholder, enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms. 
 (d) No Conflict. The execution and
delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the compliance with the provisions hereof will not, to Shareholder’s knowledge, conflict with or violate any Law applicable to
Shareholder or result in any breach of or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under any agreement or other instrument or obligation binding upon Shareholder with
respect to any of the Shares. Without derogating from the foregoing, it is hereby clarified that except as contemplated by this Agreement, the Shareholder (a) has not entered into any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to his Shares
that would prohibit, undermine, limit or otherwise adversely affect his compliance with his obligations pursuant to this Agreement, and (b) except for proxies and restrictions in favor of Parent pursuant to this Agreement, has not granted any
proxy or power of attorney with respect to the Shares, in either case, which is inconsistent with his obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

registration, declaration, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person on the part of Shareholder is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement. 

(f) No Litigation. There is no action, suit, investigation, or proceeding (whether judicial, arbitral, administrative, or other) (each
an “Action”) pending against, or, to the knowledge of Shareholder, threatened against or affecting, Shareholder that could reasonably be expected to impair or adversely affect the ability of Shareholder to perform Shareholder’s
obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on a timely basis. 
 (g) No previous Proxies.
No proxies or voting instructions relating to the Merger have been heretofore given in respect of the Shares, other than as contemplated herein. 

3. Agreement to Vote Shares; Irrevocable Proxy. 

(a) Agreement to Vote and Approve. Shareholder (solely in his capacity as such) irrevocably and unconditionally agrees from the
execution of this Agreement until the Expiration Time, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company (including, for the removal of a doubt, any Special Meeting (as such term is defined in the ICL)) called with respect to the following matters,
and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent or consents of the Company Shareholders with respect to any of the following matters, to be present (in person or in proxy) or cause to be present,
and Vote or cause the holder of record to Vote the Shares: (i) in favor of (1) the Merger Agreement and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (2) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such
meeting of Shareholders of the Company to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger; and (ii) against (1) any Acquisition Proposal, Alternative Acquisition Agreement, or any of the
transactions contemplated thereby (including, for the removal of a doubt, any Acquisition Transaction), (2) any action, proposal, transaction, or agreement which could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or
warranty, or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or of Shareholder under this Agreement, and (3) any action, proposal, transaction, or agreement that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere
with, delay, discourage, adversely affect, or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger or the fulfillment of Parent’s, the Company’s, or Merger Sub’s conditions under the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights
of any class of shares of the Company (including any amendments to the Company’s Charter Documents). Any such Vote shall be cast (or consent shall be given) by the Shareholder in accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure
that it is duly counted, including for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording the results of such Vote (or consent). 

(b) Irrevocable Proxy. Shareholder hereby appoints Parent and any designee of Parent, and each of them individually, until the
Expiration Time (at which time this proxy shall automatically be revoked), as his proxies and attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to
Vote or act by written consent during the term of this Agreement with respect to the Shares in accordance with Section 3(a). This proxy and power of attorney is given to secure the performance of the duties of Shareholder under this Agreement.
Shareholder shall take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy. This proxy and power of attorney granted by Shareholder shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement
until the Expiration Time, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy, and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by Shareholder with respect to the Shares. The proxy and power of
attorney granted hereunder shall terminate upon the Expiration Time. 

  
 - 3 - 

 4. No Voting Trusts or Other Arrangement. Shareholder agrees that during the
term of this Agreement, Shareholder will not, and will not permit any entity under Shareholder’s control to, deposit any of the Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxies with respect to the Shares, or subject any of the Shares to any
arrangement with respect to the voting of the Shares other than agreements entered into with Parent. 
 5. Transfer and
Encumbrance. Shareholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement until the Expiration Time, Shareholder will not, directly or indirectly, transfer, sell, offer, exchange, assign, pledge, convey any legal or Beneficial Ownership
interest in or otherwise dispose of (by merger (including by conversion into securities or other consideration), by tendering into any tender or exchange offer, by operation of law, or otherwise), or encumber other than a pledge, encumbrance or
option that will not affect the obligations of the Shareholder under this Agreement (“Transfer”) any of the Shares or enter into any contract, option, or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any of the
Shares or Shareholder’s voting or economic interest therein. Any attempted Transfer of Shares or any interest therein in violation of this Section 5 shall be null and void. This Section 5 shall not prohibit a Transfer of the Shares by
Shareholder to (i) any Person; provided, that a Transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, (a) the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to
Parent, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement, and (b) the Shareholder shall continue to be jointly and severally liable for any breach of such voting undertaking by such transferee) and (ii) any Affiliate of such Shareholder.

 6. Additional Shares. Shareholder agrees that all equity securities of the Company (including, for the removal of doubt,
shares of Company Common Stock) that Shareholder purchases, acquires the right to Vote, or otherwise acquires Beneficial Ownership of, after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Time shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and shall constitute Shares for all purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the foregoing, as of the date hereof and until the Expiration Time, the Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent in writing of any
acquisition he shall make (directly or indirectly) of additional securities of the Company (or otherwise of the Beneficial Ownership of any securities of the Company). In the event of any share split, share dividend, merger, reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares, or the like of the share capital of the Company affecting the Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities and such resulting securities shall be
deemed to be “Shares” for all purposes of this Agreement. 
 7. Waiver of Certain Actions. Shareholder hereby agrees
not to commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any Action, derivative or otherwise, against the Company, or any of its respective Subsidiaries or successors:
(a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the Closing); or (b) to the fullest extent permitted
under Law, alleging a breach of any duty of the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with the Merger Agreement, this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby. 

  
 - 4 - 

 8. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of
(the “Expiration Time”): (a) the Effective Time; (b) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; and (c) the termination of this Agreement by mutual written consent of the Parties.
Nothing in this Section 8 shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party for any intentional breach of this Agreement prior to such termination. 

9. No Solicitation. Subject to Section 10, during the term of this Agreement until the Expiration Time Shareholder
shall not, and shall cause any entity under Shareholder’s control not to, and shall use his reasonable best efforts to cause his Representatives not to take any action that would constitute a violation of the provisions of Sections 5.2(a)
and/or 5.2(b) of the Merger Agreement if taken by the Company, in each case with the limitations and exceptions of such provisions contemplated by Section 5.2 of the Merger Agreement that are applicable to the Company or its board of directors
(including the right to participate in discussions or negotiations on the circumstances set forth therein) being similarly applicable to Shareholder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, neither Shareholder nor any of its
Representatives shall have any liability pursuant to this Section 9 from and after the first to occur of (x) the Effective Time and (y) the date on which the Company has paid the Termination Fee. 

10. No Agreement as Director or Officer. Shareholder makes no agreement or understanding in this Agreement in Shareholder’s
capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any entity under Shareholder’s control (if Shareholder holds such office), and nothing in this Agreement: (a) will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by Shareholder solely in
Shareholder’s capacity as such a director or officer, including in exercising rights under the Merger Agreement, and no such actions or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement; or (b) will be construed to prohibit, limit, or
restrict Shareholder from exercising Shareholder’s fiduciary duties solely as an officer or director to the Company or its Shareholders. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Parent or any other Person any direct or
indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the Shareholder, and neither Parent nor any other Person
shall have any authority to exercise any power or authority to direct Shareholder in the voting of any of his Shares, except as otherwise specifically provided herein or in the performance of Shareholder’s duties or responsibilities as a
shareholder of the Company. 
 11. Further Assurances. Shareholder (in his capacity as such) agrees, from time to time, and
without additional consideration, to execute and deliver such additional proxies, documents, and other instruments and to take all such further action as Parent may reasonably request to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing or of any other obligation of the Shareholder hereunder, the Shareholder hereby authorizes Parent to deliver a copy of this Agreement to each of the Merger Sub and the
Company and hereby agrees that each of Merger Sub and the Company may rely upon such delivery as conclusively evidencing the agreements and understandings set forth herein and therein. 

12. Specific Performance. Each Party hereto acknowledges that it will be impossible to measure in money the damage to the other
Party if a Party hereto fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, that every such obligation is material and that, in the event of any such failure, the other Party will not have an adequate remedy at Law or damages.
Accordingly, each Party hereto agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at Law or damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the seeking of such relief on the basis that the
other Party has an adequate remedy at Law. Each Party hereto agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the other Party’s seeking or obtaining such equitable
relief. 

  
 - 5 - 

 13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written
or oral, between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, and no provisions
hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by both of the Parties hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by either Party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by such Party, nor shall any such
waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such Party. 
 14. Notices. All notices and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly delivered and received hereunder (i) two (2) Business Day after being sent for delivery, fees prepaid, via a reputable international courier service, or

in any filing required under applicable Law the Shareholder’s identity and ownership of Shares and the nature of the Shareholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement and the proxy covered thereby, as well as
attaching a copy of this Agreement as an exhibit to any such filing, if required under applicable Law. Shareholder shall not issue any press release or make any other public statement or other disclosure with respect to this Agreement, the Merger
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby without the prior written consent of Parent, except as may be required of the Shareholder by applicable Law and, where such requirement under applicable Law arises, after giving Parent an
opportunity (as practicable in the respective circumstances) to comment on any such press release or statement and including therein such of Parent’s comments accepted by the Shareholder in his reasonable discretion. 

16. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the laws of any other jurisdiction that might be applied because of the conflicts of laws principles of the
State of Delaware, provided, however, that (1) issues relating to the Merger, general corporation law and any other provisions set forth herein that are required to be governed by the ICL, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the internal laws of the State of Israel, without regard to the laws of any other jurisdiction that might be applied because of the conflicts of laws principles of the State of Israel; and (2) it is understood and agreed that, in the absence
of legal authority to the contrary issued after the date of this Agreement, the Shareholder, and the Shareholder’s outside legal counsel shall be entitled to rely on and deem applicable to the Company and the Company Board (or any committee
thereof) the Law applicable to corporations incorporated in Delaware for purposes of making the determinations contemplated by Section 10 (and providing advice with respect thereto) relating to the fiduciary obligations of such Person for purposes
of this Agreement, and that references to the “fiduciary duties” of the Company Board under applicable Law and other terms of similar import under this Agreement shall, for purposes of this Agreement, include reference to such Delaware
Law. The immediately preceding 

  
 - 7 - 

 
sentence is intended only to govern the contractual rights of the Parties to this Agreement; it being understood and agreed that nothing in this Agreement is intended to modify any fiduciary
duties of the Company Board (or any committee thereof) under applicable Law or give rise to any breach or violation of this Agreement on the part of the Company by reason of the fact that the Company Board (or any committee thereof) has complied
with the Law of the State of Israel, rather than the Law of the State of Delaware, governing the duties owed by a director of a company formed under the Laws of the State of Israel to such company, its shareholders or any other Person (or vice
versa). 
 (b) Consent to Jurisdiction. (1) Each of the Parties hereto (i) agrees that any actions or proceedings
arising in connection with any dispute, controversy or claim arising under, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including any dispute or controversy regarding the existence, validity,
enforceability or breach of this Agreement), whether in contract, in tort or otherwise, shall be brought, tried and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, provided, that, if jurisdiction is not then available in the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware, then any such legal action or proceeding may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court; (ii) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits itself
and its properties and assets to the jurisdiction of any court located in the State of Delaware in the event of any such action or proceeding; (iii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other
request for leave from any such court; (iv) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees
not to plead or claim the same; and (v) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of Parent and Shareholder agrees that a final
judgment in any action or proceeding in such courts as provided above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. 

(2) Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any action or
proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in accordance with Section 14 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law, and nothing in
this Section 16(b) shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law. 
 (c)
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES
