In the event that during the term of the agreement, on a certain date the Company shall have at least NIS 4,000,000 (approximately $1,050,000) cash in its bank account that is sourced from capital injection/non-repayable amounts only, as confirmed by the Company’s CFO, Mr. Zigdon shall be entitled to a payment in the sum of NIS 12,333 (approximately $ 3,200) multiplied by the number of calendar months that had passed from the effective date of the agreement and until the month ending prior to the Triggering Date. In addition, Mr. Zigdon is entitled to participate in the Company's incentive program that will be adopted by the Company. Furthermore, Mr. Zigdon will be entitled to options to purchase Company shares all subject to an option plan to be adopted by the appropriate organs of the Company. The number of options, vesting and such other terms of grant of the options are detailed in Note 17.B. below. Mr. Zigdon is entitled to customary fringe benefits under Israeli laws.

| Crow Technologies 1977 Ltd., a company engaged in the manufacturing of plastics and electronic components, has an exclusive right to manufacture products for the Company (and any component of the products) for a price that is higher by 50% to that of the market prices of manufacturing such products or components in Israel. As of the date hereof, Crow Technologies has not exercised its exclusive right. The products of the Company do not have any electronic parts. While the Company’s products developed through the current date, do have plastic parts, the cost of these parts approximate $0.10 per unit. The Company believes that the exclusive right held by Crow Technologies is immaterial to the ultimate price for which the Company will sell its products or even the overall estimated cost of production of its products. |
