WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Voting Agreement, Mellanox Technologies, Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”), Parent, NVIDIA Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and Teal Barvaz Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Shareholder is the record or beneficial owner of the number of shares of Company Securities set forth opposite his or its name on Exhibit A; and

WHEREAS, as a condition to and inducement of Parent’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Shareholder has agreed to enter into this Voting Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the mutual agreements and covenants set forth herein and in the Merger Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.1    Defined Terms. The following capitalized terms, as used in this Voting Agreement, shall have the meanings set forth below. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.

(a)    “Beneficially Own”, “Beneficial Ownership” or “beneficial owner” with respect to any Company Securities means having “beneficial ownership” of such securities (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), including pursuant to any Contract, whether or not in writing. Without duplicative counting of the same securities by the same holder, securities Beneficially Owned by a Person shall include securities Beneficially Owned by all other Persons who are controlled affiliates of such Person and who together with such Person would constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

(b)    “Shareholder Shares” means all Company Shares held of record or Beneficially Owned by Shareholder, whether currently issued and outstanding or hereinafter acquired, including, without limitation, by exercising any Company Option, or the vesting of any Company RSU or Company PSU held of record or Beneficially Owned by Shareholder.

2.1    No Transfer of Shareholder Shares. Prior to the earlier of the Expiration Time (as defined below) or the Company Shareholder Approval, Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, pledge, encumber, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of his or its Shareholder Shares or any interest in his or its Shareholder Shares (other than any pledge or encumbrance in existence on the date of this Voting Agreement), (b) deposit his or its Shareholder Shares or any interest in his or its Shareholder Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of his or its Shareholder Shares or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto (other than as contemplated herein) or (c) enter into any Contract, option or other arrangement with respect to or otherwise agree to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, pledge, encumbrance, assignment, transfer or other disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to hedging, cash settlement or otherwise) of any of his or its Shareholder Shares (any such action in clause (a), (b) or (c) above, a “transfer”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing sentence, this Section ‎2.1 shall not prohibit a transfer of Shareholder Shares by Shareholder in one or more transactions (i) to any member of Shareholder’s immediate family or to a trust solely for the benefit of Shareholder or any member of Shareholder’s immediate family, (ii) to any person or entity if and to the extent required by any non-consensual legal order, by divorce decree or by will, intestacy or other similar Law, (iii) to a charitable entity qualified as a 501(c)(3) organization under the Code, or (iv) with the prior written consent of Parent; provided, however, that a transfer pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall be permitted only if, and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, satisfactory in form and substance to Parent, to be bound by all of the terms of this Voting Agreement as though such transferee were the “Shareholder” hereunder.

2.2    Vote in Favor of the Merger and Related Matters. Shareholder, solely in Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder of the Company (and not, if applicable, in Shareholder’s capacity as an officer or director of the Company), agrees that, from and after the date hereof and until the Expiration Time (as defined below), at any meeting of the Company Shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or in connection with any action by written consent of the Company Shareholders, Shareholder shall:

(a)    appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all of his or its Shareholder Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and

(b)    vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all of his or its Shareholder Shares: (i) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the consummation of the Transactions; (ii) in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone any meeting of the Company Shareholders at which the approval of the Merger Agreement is submitted for the consideration and vote of the Company Shareholders to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Merger Agreement on the date on which the meeting is held; (ii) in favor of any other matter reasonably relating to the consummation or facilitation of, or otherwise in furtherance of, the Merger and the other Transactions, (iii) against any Competing Proposal and (iv) against any other action, proposal, agreement, transaction or arrangement submitted for approval of the Company Shareholders that is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the consummation of the Merger or the Transactions.

2.3    No Obligation to Exercise or Convert Securities. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall require Shareholder to (i) convert, exercise or change any Company Option, Company RSU, Company PSU or other equity security of the Company in order to obtain any underlying Company Shares or (ii) vote, or execute any consent with respect to, any Company Shares underlying such Company Options, Company RSUs, Company PSUs or other equity securities of the Company that have not yet been issued as of the applicable record date for that vote or consent.

2.4    Termination. This Voting Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) such time as the Merger Agreement shall have been validly terminated pursuant to its terms, (b) the Effective Time (c) the date of any amendment, modification or supplement to the Merger Agreement, in each such case if such amendment, modification or supplement reduces the consideration payable to the Company Shareholders or materially and adversely affects the economic interests of the Company Shareholders without the express written consent of Shareholder, or (d) the date upon which Parent and Shareholder agree in writing to terminate this Voting Agreement (such earliest time, the “Expiration Time”); provided, however, that the provisions of ‎Article V shall survive any termination of this Voting Agreement.
