c. Royalties:

The Company participated in programs sponsored by the Israeli government for the support of research and development activities. Through December 31, 2014, the Company had obtained grants from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry and Trade (the “OCS”) for certain of the Company’s research and development projects. The Company is obligated to pay royalties to the OCS, amounting to 3%-3.5% of the sales of the products and other related revenues (based on the dollar) generated from such projects, up to 100% of the grants received. Royalty payment obligations also bear interest at the LIBOR rate. The obligation to pay these royalties is contingent on actual sales of the products and in the absence of such sales, no payment is required.

During 2012, 2013 and 2014, the Company paid royalties to the OCS in the amount $12, $147 and $300, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, the aggregate contingent liability to the OCS (including interest) amounted to $11,756.
