The subsidiary’s old lease term ends on May 31, 2021.

b.The Company received in the past grants from the office of the Israel Innovation Authority of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, formerly known as the Office of the Chief Scientist, ("IIA"). The Company is not obligated to repay any amounts received from the IIA if it does not generate any income from products which incorporate technologies which were funded by such research program(s).

If income is generated from products which incorporate technologies which were funded by a research program, the Company is committed to pay royalties at a rate of between 3% to 5% of future revenue generated from products that incorporate technologies that were funded by such research program(s), up to a maximum of 100% of the amount received, linked to the U.S. dollar (for grants received under programs approved subsequent to January 1, 1999, the maximum amount to be repaid is 100% plus interest at LIBOR).

As of June 30, 2020, the Company's aggregate contingent obligations for payments to IIA, based on royalty-bearing participation received or accrued, net of royalties paid or accrued, totaled $9,281.
