4.Termination Accrued Obligations
Section 12 of your Employment Agreement shall be amended as follows:
4.1.The first paragraph of Section 12 shall be supplemented as follows:
“Term & Termination – Your employment with the Company will commence on the Effective Date, for an indefinite period until the termination thereof by either party in accordance with the terms hereof or as shall further be set forth in the definitive employment agreement (the “Term” or “Term of Employment”). You may terminate your employment with the Company at any time and for any reason whatsoever, by providing the Company a 60-day advanced written notice of termination (“Advanced Termination Notice”) regardless of any employment-at-will provisions that may apply, and likewise, in the event of termination of the Term by the Company without Cause (as such term is defined herein or shall be defined in the definitive employment agreement), you shall also be entitled to receive from the Company an Advanced Termination Notice or payment of the monthly Base Salary in lieu thereof (without perquisites), as the Company may elect at its sole and absolute discretion. If your employment ends for any reason, you shall be entitled to payment of (i) your unpaid Base Salary through the date of termination; (ii) all of your accrued, but unused paid time off; (iii) any unpaid expense reimbursements incurred by you as of the date of termination; and (iv) any earned but unpaid Performance Based Compensation from a prior fiscal year ((i) through (iv), the “Accrued Obligations”). During the Advanced Termination Notice period, whether notice has been given by the Employee or by the Company, the Employee shall continue to work unless instructed otherwise by the Company and shall cooperate with the Company in handing over his roles and responsibilities to his successor. The Company shall be entitled, but not obligated, at any time prior to the expiration of the Advanced Termination Notice period, at its sole discretion, either: (i) to waive the Employee’s actual work during such period, in which event the Company shall continue to pay and award to the Employee all the payments, rights, and benefits under the Employment Agreement payable to the Employee during the remainder of the Advanced Termination Notice period (namely, the Accrued Obligations for such period); or (ii) to immediately terminate the Employment Agreement and the employment relationship thereunder at any time prior to the expiration of the Advanced Termination Notice period and pay the Employee all Accrued Obligation for such period from the surrender of the notice through the supposed date of termination but for the cash conversion in lieu of the Advanced Termination Notice period.”
4.2.At the end of Section 12, after the words “… the “Accrued Obligations”).”, the following paragraph shall be inserted as part of said Section 12:
“In the event of a Corporate Transaction that triggers the “double-trigger” mechanisms included in the Employment Agreement and/or in the 2021 Kaltura, Inc. Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”), including termination or resignation for Good Reasons in such circumstances, then in addition to the Accrued Obligations the Employee shall also be entitled to the respective portion of the Performance Based Compensation for the employment period at the current year at which the Termination occurs until the Effective Date of Termination plus the respective advance written notice period (i.e., either the Employee’s Advanced Termination Notice period due to resignation for Good Reason or the Company’s Advanced Termination Notice period due to termination by the Company, both, under the double-trigger mechanism, regardless redemption thereof through the payment of all the payments,

rights, benefits and Accrued Obligations under the Employment Agreement payable to the Employee during the remainder of the Advanced Termination Notice, even if such period shall end at the subsequent calendar/fiscal year (the “MBO Entitlement Period”). Except as specifically agreed otherwise, the measurement of the MBO KPIs attainment for the individual and Company goals with respect to the MBO Entitlement Period, and the calculation and payment of the respective Performance Based Compensation in respect thereof, shall be made upon the settlement of accounts at the Effective Date of Termination or the payment of the Accrued Obligations, as applicable, based on the Company’s estimation of the then expected Company’s target results and proforma financial statements. In such a case, the respective Performance Based Compensation amount shall be so affixed by the Company at its sole discretion regardless of the actual results de facto, and in the absent of any manifest error, the Company’s calculation shall be deemed as final non-appealable calculation of the respective Performance Based Compensation amount.
To dispel doubt, the above shall not derogate anything from:
12.1 Any specific special terms relating to termination for Cause, and in any event of discrepancy or inconsistency between the provisions of such special termination terms for Cause and the standard regular provisions as set forth herein, the special provisions regarding Cause event shall prevail; and
12.2 Any specific special terms referring to (i) Corporate Transactions, Change in Control, and “double trigger” mechanisms included and defined in the Employment Agreement (if included) and the 2021 Plan; and (ii) any other particular arrangements; provided, however, that the terms under subsections (i) and (ii) above are more beneficiary to the Employee than the terms hereof. Accordingly, in any event of discrepancy or inconsistency between the provisions of such special terms and arrangements and the standard regular provisions as set forth in this Section 12, the employee-favorable conditions shall apply and the special provisions shall prevail inasmuch as they award more beneficial terms in such circumstances.”
5.Miscellaneous

This Amendment shall be read together with the Employment Agreement as one agreement and, save as expressly amended by this Amendment, the Employment Agreement shall remain unaltered and in full force and effect.
