Reference is made to the At The Market Offering Agreement, dated as of June 10, 2021 (the “ATM Agreement”), between Microbot Medical Inc. (the “Company”) and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”). This letter (the “Amendment”) constitutes an agreement between the Company and Wainwright to amend the ATM Agreement as set forth herein. Defined terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the ATM Agreement.

1. The defined term “Agreement” in the ATM Agreement is amended to mean the ATM Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

2. The defined term “Registration Statement” in the ATM Agreement is amended by deleting “333-250966” and inserting in its place “333-275634”.

3. The first sentence of Section 2(b)(vii) of the ATM Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the Manager, settlement for sales of the Shares will occur at 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the first (1st) Trading Day (or any such shorter settlement cycle as may be in effect pursuant to Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act from time to time) following the date on which such sales are made (each, a “Settlement Date”).”

4. Section 3(g) of the ATM Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Capitalization. The capitalization of the Company is as set forth in the SEC Reports as of the date set forth therein. The Company has not issued any capital stock since its most recently filed SEC Report under the Exchange Act (or in respect of issuances following the date hereof, as set forth in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act or in a Form 8-K), other than pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options under the Company’s or Subsidiaries’ equity incentive, performance, stock option or compensatory plan, contract or arrangement (a “Plan”), the issuance of shares of Common Stock to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of securities exercisable, exchangeable or convertible into Common Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”) outstanding as of the date of the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act. No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock or the capital stock of any Subsidiary, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or capital stock of any Subsidiary. The issuance and sale of the Shares will not obligate the Company or any Subsidiary to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, there are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or any Subsidiary with any provision that adjusts the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price of such security or instrument upon an issuance of securities by the Company or any Subsidiary.
