Dear Asaf,
Re: Change of Employment Terms
Following our recent discussions, on behalf of the parent company of Outbrain Israel Ltd., Outbrain Inc. (respectively, the “Parent Company” and the “Company”), we wish to set out in writing certain changes with respect to the terms and conditions of your employment to become effective as of January l, 2021 (the: “Effective Date”):
1.Prior Notice: In the event of termination of your employment, other than in circumstances of “Cause”, as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement between yourself and the Company dated March 21, 2014 (the “Employment Agreement”), you and the Company will have the right to terminate the employment relations, at any time and for any reason, by providing the other party a prior written notice of six (6) months.
2.Section 6 of the Employment Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with a new Section as follows:
“6.1 In consideration for his/her work, the Employee will be entitled to a gross monthly salary in the sum of NIS70,000 (the “Salary”). Without derogating from Section 7 of the Agreement, the Salary is calculated in accordance with and consists of the following two (2) components:
6.1.1 A monthly gross Salary in the amount of NIS56,000 (the “Base Salary”); and
6.1.2 A monthly gross global compensation for overtime hours of work as follows: Since both the Company and the Employee expect that the work load at the Company may require from time to time extensive volume of working hours, the Company will pay to the Employee on a monthly basis, in addition to the Base Salary and in consideration of any services that the Employee may render at overtime hours, a global gross amount of NIS14,000 (the “Global Overtime Compensation”) which reflects full compensation for the amount of overtime hours which the Employee is expected to work per month. The Global Overtime Compensation has been determined according to Company's knowledgeable estimation of the scope of overtime hours per month which the Employee's position requires.
The Salary shall be paid once per month, no later than the 9th day of each calendar month, for the preceding month.

6.2 Notwithstanding the two components of the Salary, as set forth above, ex gratia, the Salary, in its entirety, shall serve as the sole basis for the payment of social benefits and all rights to which the Employee is entitled, in accordance with this Agreement, and in accordance with applicable law.”
3.A new Section 6A will be added to the Agreement as follows:
“6A. Bonus
6A.1.The Employee is eligible to receive an annual bonus payment. Subject to the below, the target amount of the annual bonus shall be NIS420,000 per twelve (12) calendar months, pursuant to the Company’s Executive Bonus plan, which includes targets determined by the Company, at its sole discretion, from time to time (the “Bonus”). The actual amount of Employee’s Bonus to be paid shall be determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee in accordance with its charter and be paid to the extant eligible, no later than in the month of April following the year with respect to which such Bonus is provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of the Bonus shall be subject to Company’s discretion if either the Company or Employee has provided prior notice per Section 1 of this Amendment (i.e. ‘Prior Notice’), regardless of whether Employee is employed as of the date of the Bonus payment.
6A.2 Bonus payments shall be subject to applicable tax and any other additional deduction required by law. For the avoidance of doubt, Bonus payments shall not be considered as part of the Salary for any purpose, including for any payment or accompanying deduction made pursuant to this Agreement or applicable law.”
