AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, it is hereby stipulated, consented to, and agreed by and among the Parties as follows:

 

1.       Requirement to Make Cash Payments. The Company shall make the cash payments to the Service Providers in the amounts and on the dates specified in Appendix A to this Agreement (the “Cash Payments”) in consideration of the services to be provided by such individuals under Section 2 herein (the “Services”). The Cash Payments will be paid through the Company’s customary payroll system in accordance with its payroll policy, or, in the case of Dr. Yoav Ben-Dror, through the Company’s customary accounts payable system in accordance with its accounting policy, and the Service Providers residing in the United States shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s health and disability benefits plan during the period that they provide the Services. For purposes of clarification, the payment made to Mr. McGrath and Dr. Rafaeli through the Company’s payroll system on August 23, 2018, and the payment made to Dr. Ben-Dror through the Company’s accounts payable system on August 21, 2018, shall each be counted towards the monthly Cash Payments due such Service Provider for the month of August 2018 under the preceding agreement between the parties. The Parties acknowledge and agree that a reasonably short delay in making any payment due for the month of August 2018 does not constitute a default under that agreement. Each of the Service Providers agree that the Company may, at its option, prepay the Cash Payments at any time without any penalty or premium. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company instructs the Service Providers to cease providing the Services or otherwise attempts to or does terminate the Note Holders as Service Providers for any reason, such cessation of Services or termination will not affect the Company’s obligation to make the Cash Payments.
