(b)          The Shareholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Legal Requirements,  appoints the Company, or any designee of the Company, for so long as the provisions of Section 1 remain in effect, as the Shareholder’s attorney- in-fact and proxy with full power of substitution, to vote, express consent or dissent and otherwise act (by written consent or otherwise) with respect to the Covered Shares, solely on the matters and in the manner specified in Section 1.

The Shareholder hereby  revokes  all other proxies and powers of attorney on the matters specified in this Section 2 with respect to the Owned Shares that the Shareholder may have previously appointed or granted, and no subsequent proxy or power of attorney shall be given or written consent executed (and if given or executed, shall not be effective) by the Shareholder with respect to any Covered Shares. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death, bankruptcy or incapacity of the Shareholder and any obligation of the Shareholder under this Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, and successors of the Shareholder.

3.          No Inconsistent Agreements.

4.          Termination. This Agreement shall terminate,  and no party shall have  any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, upon the earliest of (i) the Effective Time, (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms or (iii)  the time  this  Agreement is terminated upon the mutual written agreement of ION, the Company and the Shareholder (the earliest such date under clause (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to herein as the “Termination Date”); provided, that the provisions set forth in Sections 11  to 23 below  shall  survive  the termination  of this Agreement; provided further, that termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party hereto from any liability for any willful breach of, or actual fraud in connection with,  this Agreement prior to such termination.

(a)          This Agreement and any action, suit, dispute, controversy or claim  arising  out  of this Agreement, or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal law of the State of Delaware regardless of the law that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of  conflicts  of  law  thereof, except to the extent that the laws of the Cayman Islands or of the State of Israel are mandatorily applicable.

(b)          Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction  and venue of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, or, if  such court declines  jurisdiction,  then to any federal court located in Wilmington, Delaware or any appellate court therefrom  in connection with any matter based upon or arising out  of this  Agreement, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware for such Person and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such manner of service of process.

Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 16, any party hereto may commence any action, claim, cause of action or suit  in a court other than the  above-named courts solely  for the  purpose  of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts.


(c)          TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY MAY DO SO ONLY IF HE, SHE OR IT IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

17.          Assignment; Successors. No party hereto shall assign this Agreement or any part hereof without the prior written consent of the other parties.  Subject  to the  foregoing,  this  Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Any attempted assignment in violation of the terms of this Section 17 shall be null and void, ab initio.

18.          Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities  that are expressly named as parties hereto, and  then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party in this Agreement), (a) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or affiliate of any named party to this Agreement and (b) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations,  warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations  or liabilities  of  any one or  more of ION, the Company or the Shareholder under this Agreement of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

19.          Enforcement. The  parties hereto agree that irreparable  damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions  of this  Agreement in  accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable  relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, including the Shareholder’s obligations to vote its Covered Shares as provided in this Agreement, without proof of damages, prior to the valid  termination  of this  Agreement, this being in  addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by  this  Agreement and without that right, none of the parties would have entered into  this  Agreement. Each party agrees that  it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at Applicable Legal Requirements  or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at  Applicable  Legal Requirements or equity. The parties  acknowledge  and agree that any party seeking  an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 19 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.


20.          Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted  in such a manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Legal Requirements,  but  if  any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under Applicable Legal Requirements, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable  under Applicable  Legal Requirements, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible  in  an acceptable manner  in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are  consummated  as originally contemplated  to the greatest extent possible.

21.          Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any amendment hereto by electronic means, including docusign, e-mail,  or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement or any amendment hereto.

22.          Interpretation and Construction. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words  of like import used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The descriptive headings used herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. References to Sections are to Sections of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any singular term in this Agreement shall be  deemed to include the  plural, and any plural term the singular. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be  deemed  to  be followed by the words “without limitation,” whether or  not  they are in  fact followed  by  those words or words of like import. “Writing,” “written” and comparable terms refer to printing,  typing and other means of reproducing words (including  electronic  media)  in  a visible  form.  References to any statute shall be deemed to refer to such statute and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. References to any person include the successors and permitted assigns of that person. References from or through any date mean, unless otherwise specified, from and including  such date or through and including such date, respectively. In the event an ambiguity or  question  of  intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

23.          Capacity as a Shareholder. Notwithstanding anything herein  to the contrary, the Shareholder signs this Agreement solely in the Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder of the Company, and not in any other capacity and this Agreement shall not limit or otherwise affect the actions of the Shareholder or any affiliate, employee or designee of the Shareholder or any of its affiliates in his or her capacity, if applicable, as an officer or director of the Company or any other Person. The Shareholder shall not be liable or responsible  for any breach, default,  or violation  of  any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder by any other shareholder that is entering into a similar Agreement and the Shareholder shall solely be required to perform its obligations hereunder in its individual capacity.

24.          Trust Account Waiver. The Shareholder agrees that he, she or it shall be subject  to the terms and conditions of Section 6.07 of the Merger Agreement as though the Shareholder were the Company thereunder and that Section 6.07 (as so modified) is hereby incorporated into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.
