		2.2.

		3.2.

		3.3.	
Detrimental Activity. For purposes of this Agreement, Detrimental Activity shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan. In the event that the Optionee engages in Detrimental Activity prior to any exercise of Options, such Options shall thereupon terminate and expire.

		5.2.	
In order for the Company to issue Shares upon the exercise of any of the Options, the Optionee hereby agrees to sign any and all documents required by any applicable law and/or by the Company's Articles of Association.







 



		5.3.	
The Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares upon the exercise of Options if such issuance, in the opinion of the Company, might constitute a violation by the Company of any provision of law.







 



	6.	
Taxes; Indemnification







 



		6.1.	
Any tax consequences arising from the grant or exercise of any Option, from the payment for Shares covered thereby or from any other event or act (of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, or the Optionee), hereunder, shall be borne solely by the Optionee. The Company and/or its Subsidiaries shall withhold taxes according to the requirements under the applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including withholding taxes at source. Furthermore, the Optionee hereby agrees to indemnify the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and hold them harmless against and from any and all liability for any such tax or interest or penalty thereon, including without limitation, liabilities relating to the necessity to withhold, or to have withheld, any such tax from any payment made to the Optionee.







 



		6.2.	
The Optionee will not be entitled to receive from the Company any Shares allocated or issued upon the exercise of Options prior to the full payments of the Optionee’s tax liabilities arising from Options which were granted to him and/or Shares issued upon the exercise of Options.







 



		6.3.	
The Optionee acknowledges that the Company (a) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the tax treatment with any aspect of the Options, including the grant, vesting, or exercise of the Options, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired under the Plan and the receipt of dividends, if any; and (b) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the Options or any aspect of the Options to reduce or eliminate Optionee’s tax liability, or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Optionee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, Optionee acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold tax in more than one jurisdiction.







 



		6.4.	
Without limitation of the foregoing, with respect to ISO and NQSO, there is no guarantee that the IRS will determine that the Exercise Price of these Options represent the fair market value thereof as of the Date of Grant in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.  If the IRS determines that the Exercise Price is less than such fair market value it could result in adverse tax consequences to Optionee.







 



		6.5.	
In case of ISO, adjustments made pursuant to the Plan with respect to ISO could constitute a “modification” of such ISO (as that term is defined in Section 424(h) of the Code) or could cause adverse tax consequences for the Optionee and the Optionee should consult with his or her tax advisor regarding the consequences of such “modification” on his or her income tax treatment with respect to the ISO.







 



		6.6.	
The receipt of the Options and the acquisition of the Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the Options may result in tax consequences. THE OPTIONEE IS ADVISED TO CONSULT A TAX ADVISER WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF RECEIVING OR EXERCISING THE OPTIONS OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.







 



		6.7.	
If any of the Shares issued under Optionee's Options that designated as Incentive Stock Options are disposed of prior to the date which is either (i) two years after the date of grant of such incentive Stock Options or (ii) one year after the Optionee acquired his shares by exercising his Incentive Stock Options, then the Optionee, immediately prior to the disposition, shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the date and terms of the disposition and shall provide such other information regarding the disposition as the Company may reasonably require.







 












	7.	
Miscellaneous







 



		7.1.	
No Guarantee of Continued Service. Neither this Agreement nor the grant of any Options shall give the Optionee any right with respect to continuance of employment, consultancy or directorship by the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall they be a limitation in any way on the right of the Company or any Subsidiary by which an employee is employed or a Consultant or Non-Employee Director is retained to terminate his or her employment, consultancy or directorship at any time.







 



		7.2.	
Plan Governs. This Agreement is subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern.







 



		7.3.	
Entire Agreement.

		7.4.
