Second Amendment to Shore Employment Agreement

On July 25, 2016, InspireMD, Inc. (the “Company”) and Craig Shore, the Company’s chief financial officer, chief administrative officer, secretary and treasurer, entered into the second amendment (the “Shore Amendment”) to that certain Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated as of May 5, 2014, as amended on January 5, 2015 (collectively, the “Shore Employment Agreement”), in order to, among other things, (i) amend the term of Mr. Shore’s employment, so that the initial term of Mr. Shore employment will end on April 20, 2020, which will automatically be renewed for additional one-year periods on April 21, 2020 and on each April 21^st thereafter; (ii) increase Mr. Shore’s annual base salary to $250,000; (iii) provide that Mr. Shore will be eligible to receive an annual bonus in an amount equal to 60% of his then-annual salary upon the achievement of reasonable target objectives and performance goals, to be determined by the board of directors in consultation with Mr. Shore; (iv) provide a grant of equity awards to Mr. Shore on or within 10 business days of July 25, 2016 (the “Date of Grant”), with respect to an aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 1% of the Company’s outstanding common stock and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on the Date of Grant, 50% of which shall be granted as restricted stock and 50% of which shall be granted as nonqualified stock options, which will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan and a nonqualified stock option agreement and a restricted stock award agreement to be entered into by the Company and Mr. Shore; (v) provide a one-time lump-sum cash bonus in an amount equal to $50,000, payable on or before September 1, 2016; (vi) amend the definition of “good reason”; and (vii) amend certain terms related to termination by Mr. Shore and payments upon termination, as described below.

Pursuant to the Shore Amendment, Mr. Shore may terminate his employment for “good reason” (as such term is defined in the Shore Employment Agreement as amended by the Shore Amendment) by delivering a notice of termination to the Company 30 days in advance of the date of termination; provided, however, that Mr. Shore agreed to not terminate his employment for good reason until he has given the Company at least 30 days’ in which to cure the circumstances set forth in the notice of termination constituting good reason, and if such circumstances are not cured by the 30th day, Mr. Shore’s employment shall terminate on such date.

In addition, the Shore Amendment provides that, upon Mr. Shore’s resignation for good reason, Mr. Shore will be entitled to receive the same payments as if his employment is terminated upon his death or disability or by the Company without “cause” (as such term is defined in the Shore Employment Agreement). The Shore Amendment also amended the payment on termination upon Mr. Shore’s death or disability, by the Company without cause, or upon resignation for good reason, to provide that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Shore Employment Agreement, (x) all stock options, stock appreciation rights or similar stock-based rights granted to Mr. Shore shall vest in full and become immediately exercisable; (y) any risk of forfeiture included in restricted or other stock grants previously made to Mr. Shore shall immediately lapse; and (z) all vested stock options granted to Mr. Shore shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) two years from the date of termination or (ii) the latest date that each stock option would otherwise expire pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement had Mr. Shore’s employment with the Company not terminated.

The foregoing summary of the Shore Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Shore Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
