(b) Performance Bonus. The Company shall pay the Executive an annual performance bonus based on Payoneer Global’s achievement of targets and milestones as determined by the CEO and/or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Payoneer Global], in a gross annual amount equal to 100% of the Salary (the “Performance

6.Termination.

(a)  Death; Disability.  The Executive’s employment shall automatically terminate upon his death. The Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time in the event of a disability (mental or physical) or illness, which incapacitates the Executive for a continuous period exceeding one hundred and eighty (180) consecutive days (“Disability”).

Termination by the Company for any of the following reasons (each of which is referred to herein as “Cause”) will be effective upon written notice by the Company, subject to any cure period stated herein:  (i) repeated refusal, failure or neglect by Executive to perform the material duties of his employment or to follow the directions of the Company’s and/or Payoneer Global’s Board of Directors (other than by reason of the Executive’s physical or mental illness or impairment), provided that such event of “Cause” shall be deemed to occur under this clause (i) only after the Company gives notice thereof to the Executive, specifying in reasonable detail the conduct constituting “Cause”, and the Executive’s failure to cure and correct his conduct within 15 days after such notice;  (ii) commission by the Executive of any act of fraud or embezzlement, provided that such event of “Cause” shall be deemed to occur only after the Company has given 15 days’ notice thereof to the Executive, specifying in reasonable detail the instances of such conduct, and Executive had been provided the opportunity to be heard at a meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors within 15 days of the date of such notice; (iii) breach by the Executive of any employee non-disclosure, non-

competition or assignment of inventions agreement entered into during the period of Executive's employment with the Company (including provisions to such effect set forth in this Agreement) that results in a material detriment to the Company and/or Payoneer Global; (iv) the Executive’s conviction of (or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to) a felony  or commission of other acts causing or likely to cause a material detriment to the reputation, goodwill or business of the Company and/or Payoneer Global; or (v) habitual abuse of alcohol or drugs.

(c)  Resignation.  The Executive shall have the right to terminate his employment at any time by providing notice to the Company by delivering 90 days’ advance written notice of termination to the Company. Following the Executive’s resignation for any reason, the Company shall have the right, in its discretion, to require that the Executive cease to work during all or part of the applicable notice period.

(d)In the event of the termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder by the Company without Cause (as defined above), subject to the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims against the Company in a form to be provided by the Company (the “Release”), the Company will continue to pay the Executive, in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices, his base salary then in effect, and continue to cover the cost of his participation in the Company’s benefit plans and company-paid health insurance plan, for three (3) additional months following the effective date of notice of the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, and all of the Executive’s then outstanding Awards will continue to vest during such three months period. The termination of the Executive’s employment will become effective upon the lapse of said three-month period at which time the Executive will be required to execute a re-affirmation of the Release. At the option of the Company, the Executive shall during such period either continue with all or part of his duties or remain absent from the premises of the Company.

(e)  Survival of Operative Sections.  Upon any termination of the Executive's employment, the provisions of Sections 7 through 14 of this Agreement shall survive to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions thereof.

7.  Secrecy and Non-Competition.

(a)  No Competing Employment.  The Executive acknowledges that the agreements and covenants contained in this Section are essential to protect the value of the Company's and/or Payoneer Global’s business and assets and by his current employment with the Company and its subsidiaries. The Executive has obtained and will obtain such knowledge, contacts, know-how, training and experience and there is a substantial probability that such knowledge, know-how, contacts, training and experience could be used to the substantial advantage of a competitor of the Company and/or Payoneer Global and to the Company's and/or Payoneer Global’s substantial detriment.  Therefore, the Executive agrees that for a period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the first anniversary of the date of termination of the Executive's employment hereunder in case of Executive's resignation, or for as long as severance is being paid by Company in case of Executive's termination by the Company under Section 6 (d) (respectively referred to as the “Restricted Period”), the Executive shall not,

- 4 -

in any state or other geographic region in which the Company and/or Payoneer Global engaged in business activities at any time  during the Employment Term, participate or engage, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any person, partnership, corporation or other entity, whether as an executive, agent, officer, director, shareholder, partner, joint venturer, investor or otherwise, in any business activities which directly competes with Company's and/or Payoneer Global’s business activities. For the purposes of this Section 7(a), the Company’s and Payoneer Global’s business activities shall be defined as the Company’s and/or Payoneer Global’s respective product lines that either (i) generate more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s and/or Payoneer Global’s respective revenues or (ii) constitute the then current or planned strategic initiative of the Company and/or Payoneer Global.

(b)  Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. The Executive, except in connection with his employment hereunder, shall not disclose to any person or entity or use, either during the Employment Term or at any time thereafter, any information not in the public domain or generally known in the industry, in any form, acquired by the Executive while employed by the Company or any predecessor to the Company's and/or Payoneer Global’s business or, if acquired following the Employment Term, such information which, to the Executive's knowledge, has been acquired, directly or indirectly, from any person or entity owing a duty of confidentiality to the Company, Payoneer Global or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, relating to the Company, Payoneer Global, its subsidiaries or affiliates, including but not limited to information regarding customers, vendors, suppliers, trade secrets, training programs, manuals or materials, technical information, contracts, systems, procedures, mailing lists, know-how, trade names, improvements, price lists, financial or other data (including the revenues, costs or profits associated with any of the Company's and/or Payoneer Global’s products or services), business plans, code books, invoices and other financial statements, computer programs, software systems, databases, discs and printouts, plans (business, technical or otherwise), customer and industry lists, correspondence, internal reports, personnel files, sales and advertising material, telephone numbers, names, addresses or any other compilation of information, written or unwritten, which is or was used in the business of the Company, Payoneer Global or any subsidiaries or affiliates thereof.  The Executive agrees and acknowledges that all of such information, in any form, and copies and extracts thereof, are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company and/or Payoneer Global, and upon termination of his employment with the Company, the Executive shall return to the Company the originals and all copies of any such information provided to or acquired by the Executive in connection with the performance of his duties for the Company and/or Payoneer Global, and shall return to the Company all files, correspondence and/or other communications received, maintained and/or originated by the Executive during the course of his employment.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 7, precludes or otherwise limits the Executive’s ability to (A) communicate directly with and provide information, including documents, not otherwise protected from disclosure by any applicable law or privilege to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agency”) or self-regulatory organization regarding possible legal violations, without disclosure to the Company, or (B) disclose information which is required to be disclosed by applicable law, regulation, or order or requirement (including without limitation, by deposition, interrogatory, requests for

- 5 -

documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) of courts, administrative agencies, the SEC, any Government Agency or self-regulatory organizations, provided that the Executive provides the Company with prior notice of the contemplated disclosure and cooperates with the Company in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates may retaliate against the Executive for any of these activities. Furthermore, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Executive and the Company acknowledge and agree that the Executive shall not have criminal or civil liability under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (x) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, and without limiting the preceding sentence, if the Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Executive may disclose the trade secret to the Executive’s attorney and may use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the Executive (X) files any document containing the trade secret under seal and (Y) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

(c)  No Interference.  During the Employment Term, and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of Employment, the Executive shall not, whether for his own account or for the account of any other individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other business organization (other than the Company and/or Payoneer Global), directly or indirectly solicit, endeavor to entice away from the Company, Payoneer Global or its subsidiaries, or otherwise directly interfere with the relationship of the Company, Payoneer Global or its subsidiaries with any person who, to the knowledge of the Executive, is employed by or otherwise engaged to perform services for the Company, Payoneer Global or its subsidiaries or who is, or was within the then most recent twelve (12)-month period, a customer or client, of the Company, Payoneer Global, its predecessors or any of its subsidiaries.

(d)  Inventions, etc.  The Executive hereby sells, transfers and assigns to the Company or to any person or entity designated by the Company all of the entire right, title and interest of the Executive in and to all inventions, ideas, disclosures, improvements and business opportunities, whether patented or unpatented, and copyrightable material, made or conceived by the Executive, solely or jointly, during his employment by the Company which relate to methods, apparatus, designs, products, processes or devices, sold, leased, used or under consideration or development by the Company and/or Payoneer Global, or which otherwise relate to or pertain to the business, functions or operations of the Company and/or Payoneer Global or which arise from the efforts of the Executive during the course of his employment for the Company.  The Executive shall communicate promptly and disclose to the Company, in such form as the Company requests, all information, details and data pertaining to the aforementioned inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements; and the Executive shall execute and deliver to the Company and/or Payoneer Global such formal transfers and assignments and such other papers and documents as may be necessary or required of the Executive to permit the Company, Payoneer Global or any person or entity designated by the Company and/or Payoneer Global to

file and prosecute the patent applications and, as to copyrightable material, to obtain copyright thereof.

(e)  Non-disparagement.  At any time either during the Employment Term or at any time thereafter, the Executive shall not, in any communications with the press or other media or any communications with any customer, client, supplier or other current or prospective business relations of the Company, Payoneer Global or any of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates criticize, ridicule or make any statement which disparages or is derogatory of the Company, Payoneer Global, their respective subsidiaries and affiliates or any of their respective directors, managers or officers.
