1.2. The Services shall be provided personally and exclusively by Service Provider, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company. Service Provider shall ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement by all of its employees, agents and independent contractors, (if any and if approved by the Company) it is being agreed that any breach thereof by any of the foregoing shall be deemed a breach by Service Provider.
1.3. The Services shall be carried out in accordance with: (i) the specifications, guidelines, procedures,
parameters and other requirements set out the relevant IO; (ii) all applicable laws, rules,
regulations, guidelines and industry standards; and (iii) the written instructions of the Company, as may be provided from time to time.
1.4. Service Provider undertakes: (i) that the Services shall be performed in a professional and
workmanlike manner consistent with applicable standards for the performance of the same or similar services; (ii) that the necessary resources and appropriately qualified personnel shall be devoted to the performance of the Services; (iii) that in the provision of the Services, Service Provider will not make use of confidential or proprietary information, trade secrets without adequate licenses being in place, and shall avoid operating and/or performing any Services in a manner which infringes or is likely to infringe the rights of any third party.
1.5. Service Provider shall not make any amendments to or deviate from the Services hereunder without prior discussion with and the prior written consent of the Company and shall report to the Company immediately in the event of any deviations from the Services, delay in the timelines or any other substantial issues relating to the Services.
1.6. Service Provider hereby warrants and represents towards the Company that the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof will not: (i) result in any violation of any statute, regulation or judicial decree; (ii) constitute a default under or breach of any legal obligation and/or agreement and/or undertaking and/or other instruments to which Service Provider is a party or to which it is bound.
2. Consideration; Report
2.1. In consideration for the Services rendered by Service Provider, the Company shall pay Service Provider the fee(s) set out in the relevant IO (the “Service Fee”), in accordance with the payment terms contained therein. The Service Fee is inclusive of all applicable taxes (not including VAT, if applicable). The Service Provider shall not be entitled to any other payment, remuneration, expense, or consideration of any type from the Company and/or its affiliates for the performance of the Services or otherwise under this Agreement.
2.2. The Service Provider shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes, levies, social benefits and any other payments required by the applicable law to be made in connection with this Agreement. The Company shall deduct withholding tax (if imposed on Service Provider) from the payments referred to above, as prescribed by applicable law, unless Service Provider provides the Company with evidence of an exemption from the payment of withholding tax.
2.3. Service Provider is required to provide the Company with a report detailing the number of its actual working days (i.e., the days during which the services have been actually provided) and the number of any days-off (i.e., any holydays, vacation and/or sick leave days, etc.) as per the scope of the
Agreement (the “Report”).
2.4. For the Service Provider who provides its services according to the relevant IO under an hourly rate
basis, the Report will include the number of the accumulated approved service hours during the specific month (as per the scope of Services as detailed in the relevant IO and/or as approved by the direct manager on behalf of the Company) .
2.5. The Report must be provided for the review and approval of the direct manager and/or the CEO of the Company by the end of every calendar month (e.g., on the 30th or 31st), along with the relevant invoice. Thereafter and once approved by the direct manager and/or the Financial Dept., the approved invoice will be paid by the 10th day of the preceding month and subject to a valid invoice (including VAT and/or any related Taxes, if applicable). It should be emphasized that the Service
Fee shall be paid only subject to an invoice under the name of the Service Provider and directly to its own bank account, all as stated in the applicable IO.
2.6. It should be emphasized that the Company reserves the right to deduct and/or offset any amount from any Service Fee, compensation and/or payment if such payment (and any portion thereof) has not been approved by the direct manager and/or the Finance Dept. For example, in case where the Service Provider is entitled for a “Fix Monthly Fee” of X amount (i.e., for the scope of 22 working days a month), and took 5 vacation days or sick leave days in a particular month, then the actual payment for that same month will be calculated by the following formula: the “Fix Monthly Fee” divided by 22, multiplying by 17 (meaning, 22 working days, minus 5 vacation and/or sick leave days).

Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition hereto, Service Provider shall and hereby irrevocably agree to the undertaking attached hereto as Appendix A (“Undertaking”).

3.2. Service Provider acknowledges that in view of Service Provider’s exposure to, and involvement in, the Company’s sensitive and valuable proprietary information, property (including, intellectual
property) and technologies, as well as its goodwill and business plans (the “Company’s Major Assets”), the provisions of this Section 3 are reasonable and necessary to legitimately protect the Company’s Major Assets, and are being undertaken by Service Provider as a condition to the engagement of Service Provider by the Company.

illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent
possible given the intent of the parties hereto.

In addition, if any particular provision contained in this Undertaking shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting and reducing the scope of such provision so that the provision is enforceable to the fullest extent compatible with applicable law.
4.6. The provisions of this Undertaking shall continue and remain in full force and effect following the termination or expiration of the engagement between the Company and Service Provider, for whatever reason.

4.7. This Undertaking constitutes an integral part of the IO and/or the Agreement between Service Provider and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, proposals, understandings and arrangements, if any, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

No delay or failure to require the performance of any provision of this Undertaking shall constitute a waiver of that provision as to that or any other instance. No waiver granted under this Undertaking as to any one provision herein shall constitute a subsequent waiver of such provision or of any other provision herein, nor shall it constitute the waiver of any performance other than the actual performance specifically waived.
4.8. This Undertaking, the rights of the Company hereunder, and the obligations of Service Provider hereunder, will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Undertaking.
