Exhibit A

Proprietary Information Agreement

(the “Agreement”)

We acknowledge that as a result of our consulting services provided under the terms and provisions of that certain Service Agreement, dated as of this 19 day of December, 2017 by and between RailVision Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel, registration number 515441541, which registered address of 15 Tidhar Street, Raanana, Israel (the “Company”), Yaad Consulting & Management Services (1995) Ltd., 51-216529-1 of 20 Raoul Wallenberg, Tel Aviv (the “Service Provider”), Mr. Itschak Shrem, Israeli ID 7823685, of 13 Hatikva St. Ramat Hasharon (“Shrem”). We may develop, receive, or otherwise have access to confidential or proprietary information which is of value to the Company.

1. Nondisclosure

1.1. Recognition of Company’s Rights; Nondisclosure. At all times during the term of the Consulting Agreement and thereafter for a period of 3 (three) years, We will hold in strictest confidence and will not disclose, use, lecture upon or publish any of the Company’s Proprietary Information (defined below), except as such disclosure, use or publication may be required in connection with my Consulting Agreement, or unless an officer of the Company or the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) expressly authorizes such in writing or unless such information becomes public knowledge. We will obtain the Company’s written approval before publishing or submitting for publication any material (written, verbal, or otherwise) that relates to my work with the Company and/or incorporates any Proprietary Information. We hereby assign to the Company any rights We may have or acquire in such Proprietary Information and recognize that all Proprietary Information shall be the sole property of the Company and its assigns.

1.2. Proprietary Information. The term “Proprietary Information” shall mean any and all confidential and/or proprietary knowledge, data or information of the Company that is disclosed to us or to which We are otherwise exposed. By way of illustration but not limitation, “Proprietary Information” includes (a) trade secrets, inventions, mask works, ideas, processes, formulas, source and object codes, data, programs, other works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs and techniques; and (b) information regarding plans for research, development, new products, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, licenses, prices and costs, suppliers and customers; and (c) information regarding the skills and compensation of employees of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that, at all such times, We are free to use information which is generally known in the trade or industry, which is not gained as result of a breach of this Agreement, to whatever extent and in whichever way we wish.

1.3. Third Party Information. We understand, in addition, that the Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During the term of the Consulting Agreement and thereafter for a period of 3 (three) years, We will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than Company personnel who need to know such information in connection with their work for the Company) or use, except in connection with the Services We render to the Company, Third Party Information, unless expressly authorized by the Board or by an officer of the Company in writing.

1.4. No Improper Use of Information of Others. During the term of the Consulting Agreement, We will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of person to whom We have an obligation of confidentiality, in relation to the Services.

2. No Conflicting Obligation. We represent that our performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as a consultant to the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to our relationship with the Company. We have not entered into, and We agree We will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict herewith.

5

3. Return of Company Documents. At the conclusion of the Consulting Agreement, We will deliver to the Company any and all drawings, notes, memoranda, specifications, devices, formulas, and documents, together with all copies thereof, and any other material containing or disclosing any Third Party Information or Proprietary Information of the Company.

4. General Provisions.

4.1. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

4.2. Assignment. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company. We may not assign or delegate my duties under this Agreement without the Company’s prior written approval. This Agreement shall be binding upon my heirs, successors and permitted assignees.

4.3. Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive both the termination of the Consulting Agreement for a period of 3 (three) years and the assignment of this Agreement by the Company to any successor in interest or other assignee.

4.4. Waiver. No waiver by the Company of any breach of this Agreement shall be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach. No waiver by the Company of any right under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any other right.

4.5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions or agreements between us with respect to the subject matter hereof. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto.

4.6. Injunction. We agree that it would be difficult to measure damage to the Company from any breach of us of the promises set forth in Sections 1 hereof, and that injury to the Company from any such breach would be impossible to calculate, and that money damages would therefore be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, We agree that if We breach any provision of Section 1 hereof, the Company will be entitled, in addition to all other remedies it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate orders to restrain any such breach by us without showing or proving any actual damage sustained by the Company.

4.7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel, without giving effect to the rules respecting conflict-of-law. The competent courts located in Tel-Aviv shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising in connection with this Agreement.

This Proprietary Information Agreement shall be effective as of the first day of the term of the Consulting Agreement by and between the parties hereof.
