The Board may set vesting criteria based upon continued engagement with the Company or any Affiliate or based upon both continued engagement and the achievement of Company-wide, business unit, or individual goals, or any other condition as determined by the Board in its discretion. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, all Options granted under this Plan shall vest over a 4-year period, with 25% thereof vesting on the end of a 12-month period following the date of grant, and the remaining 75% thereof vesting in 12 equal portions at the end of each 3-month period thereafter.

7.2.2    Unless determined otherwise by the Board, the Company's VP Global HR, or any other member of management vested with such authority by the Board from time to time, the vesting of the Options shall be postponed during any un-paid leave of absence.

7.4.    Exercise of Options 
7.4.1.    An Option shall be exercised by submission to the Company of a notice of exercise, in a form set by the Company, accompanied by payment as hereinafter described. The exercise of an Option shall occur upon receipt of a notice of exercise by the Company accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price payable for each of the Shares being purchased pursuant to such exercise, and as soon as practicable thereafter, and subject to the provisions of section 8.3 below, the Company will issue the Share(s) underlying such exercised Option, provided that the Shares so issued shall not be delivered to the Participant or any third party (other than the Trustee, if applicable) unless and until all applicable Tax was paid to the Trustee’s (if applicable) and the Company’s full satisfaction and subject to compliance with Applicable Law.
7.4.2.    Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in an Option Agreement, an Option may be exercised in full or in part, subject to the Expiration Date, provided it is not exercised for a fraction of a Share, as further detailed in section 8.3 below.

7.5.    Consideration. 
7.5.1.    The Exercise Price of each Share subject to an Option shall be determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion in accordance with Applicable Law, subject to any guidelines as may be determined by the Board from time to time. Each Option Agreement will contain the Exercise Price determined for each Option covered thereby. The Exercise Price may or may not be equal to the Fair Market Value of the ordinary Shares of the Company, and any evaluation executed in relation to such shares shall not obligate the Company when determining the Exercise Price of any Option.
7.5.2.    The Exercise Price shall be paid in cash or cheque at the time the Option is exercised, or by any other means as determined by the Board. Should the Company's ordinary 





11

shares be listed for trade on a Stock Exchange the Board may consider allowing a cashless exercise, or any other exercise method, subject to the provisions of Applicable Law. If, as of the date of exercise of an Option the Company is then permitting cashless exercises, the Participants will be able to engage in a “same-day sale” cashless brokered exercise program, involving one or more brokers, through such a program that complies with the Applicable Laws and that ensures prompt delivery to the Company of the amount required to pay the Exercise Price and any Tax.

All RSUs granted under Section 102, shall be also referred as Approved Options and will be subject to the respective provisions under this Plan.  The provisions of the various Restricted Share Unit Agreements entered into under this Plan need not be identical.  RSUs may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Participant’s other compensation.
8.1.    Exercise Price.  No payment of Exercise Price shall be required as consideration for RSUs, unless included in the Restricted Share Unit Agreement or as required by Applicable Law (including, Section 304 of the Companies Law), and Section 6.4 shall apply, if applicable.

As long as the Approved Options and any RSUs or Shares issued in connection with such Approved Options are held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Participant, all rights of the Participant over the Approved Options, RSUs and Shares cannot be Transferred other than by will or laws of descent and distribution.
12.6.    Without derogating from the aforementioned, the Board shall have the authority to determine the specific procedures and conditions of the trusteeship with the Trustee in a separate agreement between the Company and the Trustee, all subject to Section 102.

If the ordinary shares of the Company shall at any time be changed or exchanged by distribution of a share dividend (bonus shares), share split, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization, or any other like event by or of the Company, and as often as the same shall occur, then the number and class of the Shares underlying the Awards subject to the Plan and the Exercise Price of the Awards shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted so as to maintain through such an event the proportionate equity portion represented by the Awards and the total Exercise Price of the Awards, provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made by reason of the distribution of subscription rights (rights offering) on outstanding ordinary shares or other issuance of shares by the Company. Fractions of shares shall be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of section 8.3 above. 





15

Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of Shares underlying an Award. Any adjustment according to this section shall be subject to the receipt of a tax ruling or approval from the tax authorities, if and as necessary.
13.2.    Adjustment Due to a Structural Change. In the event of a Structural Change, the Shares underlying the Awards subject to the Plan shall be exchanged or converted into shares of the Company or Successor Company in accordance with the exchange effectuated in relation to the ordinary shares of the Company, and the Exercise Price and quantity of shares underlying the Awards shall be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Structural Change. The adjustments required shall be determined in good faith solely by the Board and shall be subject to the receipt of any approval required, including any tax ruling, if necessary. 
13.3.    Adjustment Due to a Spin-Off Transaction. In the event of a Spin-Off Transaction, the Board may determine that the holders of Awards shall be entitled to receive equity in the new company formed as a result of the Spin-Off Transaction, in accordance with equity granted to the ordinary shareholders of the Company within the Spin-Off Transaction, taking into account the terms of the Awards, including the vesting schedule and Exercise Price. The determination regarding the Participant's entitlement within the scope of a Spin-Off Transaction shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board. 
13.4.    M&A Transaction. 
12.4.1    Without derogating from the Board’s general power under the Plan, in the event of any M&A Transaction, the Board shall be entitled (but not obliged), at its sole discretion, to determine any of the following: (i) provide for an assumption or exchange of Awards and/or Shares for Awards and/or shares and/or other securities or rights of the Successor Company or parent or affiliate thereof; and/or (ii) provide for an exchange of Awards or Shares for a monetary compensation (including for avoidance of doubt a cash-out of the Awards for the net value); and/or (iii) determine that all unvested Awards and un-exercised vested Awards shall expire on the date of such M&A Transaction; and/or (iv) determine that the exchange, assumption, conversion or purchase detailed above will be made subject to any payment or escrow arrangement, or any other arrangement determined within the scope of the M&A Transaction in relation to the ordinary shares of the Company. In the case of assumption and/or substitution of Awards, appropriate adjustments shall be made so as to reflect such action and all other terms and conditions of the Option Agreements or Restricted Share Unit Agreement, as applicable, shall remain substantially unchanged, including but not limited to the vesting schedule, all subject to the determination of the Board, which determination shall be at its sole discretion and final. The value of the exchanged Awards and/or Shares pursuant to this section 12.4 shall be determined in good faith solely by the Board, based among others on the Fair Market Value, and its decision shall be final and binding on all the Participants. 
Unless determined otherwise by the Board, and without derogating from the aforementioned, any Awards not assumed or exchanged for options and/or RSUs and/or shares and/or other securities or rights or not cashed-out, shall expire immediately prior to the consummation of the M&A Transaction.





16

12.4.2    For the purposes of this section 12.4, the mechanism for determining the assumption or exchange as aforementioned shall be as may be agreed upon between the Board and the Successor Company. 
12.4.3    Without derogating from the above, in the event of a M&A Transaction the Board shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to require the Participants to exercise all vested Awards within a set time period and sell all of their Shares on the same terms and conditions as applicable to the other shareholders selling their Company’s ordinary shares as part of the M&A Transaction. Each Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Board shall be entitled to authorize any one of its members to sign share transfer deeds in customary form in respect of the Shares held by such Participant and that such share transfer deed shall bind the Participant.
12.4.4    Despite the aforementioned, if and when the method of treatment of Awards within the scope of an M&A Transaction determined according to the above will in the sole opinion of the Board prevent the M&A Transaction from occurring, or materially risk the M&A Transaction, the Board may determine different treatment for different Awards held by Participants such that not all Awards will be treated equally within the scope of the M&A Transaction.
12.4.5    In the event in which the exercise price of the Awards is higher than the per-share value of the shares of the Company in such an M&A Transaction ("out-of-the-money Awards"), the Board shall be entitled to cancel and terminate such Awards effective upon consummation of the M&A Transaction without consideration.
12.4.6    In the event in which the Awards shall be cancelled upon the M&A Transaction, the Company shall provide notice to such Participants in such manner as notice is provided regarding the M&A Transaction to any other shareholders of the Company not represented in the Board. Such notice shall be sent to the last known address of the Participants according to the records of the Company. The Company shall not be under any obligation to ensure that such notice was actually received by the Participants.
13.5.    Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all Awards will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Board. 
13.6.    The Participants shall execute any documents required by the Company or any Successor Company or parent of affiliate thereof in order to affect any of the actions determined within the scope of this section 12.

14.    Taxes and Withholding Tax
14.1.    Approved Options and Non-Approved 102 Options shall be taxed in accordance with Section 102.

17

14.2.    Any Tax imposed in respect of the Options and/or RSUs and/or Shares, including, but not limited to, in respect of the grant of Awards, and/or the exercise of Awards into Shares, and/or the Transfer, waiver, or expiration of Options and/or RSUs and/or Shares, and/or the sale of Shares, shall be borne solely by the Participants, and in the event of death by their heirs or transferees. The Company, the Affiliates, the Trustee (if applicable) or anyone on their behalf shall not be required to bear the aforementioned Taxes, directly or indirectly, nor shall they be required to gross up such Tax in the Participants’ salaries or remuneration. The applicable Tax shall be deducted from the proceeds of sale of Shares or shall be paid to the Company, an Affiliate or the Trustee (if applicable) by the Participants. Without derogating from the aforementioned, the Company, an Affiliate and the Trustee (if applicable) shall be entitled to withhold Taxes according to the requirements of any Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations, and to deduct any Taxes from payments otherwise due to the Participant from the Company or an Affiliate (if applicable).

14.4.    The Participants shall indemnify the Company and/or the applicable Affiliate and/or the Trustee (if applicable), immediately upon request, for any Tax (including interest and/or fines of any type and/or linkage differentials in respect of Tax and/or withheld Tax) for which the Participant is liable under any Applicable Law or under the Plan, and which was paid by the Company, the Affiliate or the Trustee (if applicable), or which the Company, the Affiliate or the Trustee (if applicable) are required to pay. The Company, the Affiliate and the Trustee (if applicable) may exercise such indemnification by deducting the amount subject to indemnification from the Participants’ salaries or remunerations. 
14.5.    In respect to Non-Approved 102 Options, if there occurs a Termination of the Participant's service to or employment with the Company or an Affiliate, the Participant shall extend to the Company or the applicable Affiliate a security or guarantee for the payment of Tax due in respect of such Award as required under Section 102.
15.    Registration of the Shares on a Stock Exchange 
15.1.    Should reorganization or certain other arrangements regarding the Company’s share capital be necessary prior to the registration of the Company’s ordinary shares or their respective depositary receipts on a Stock Exchange, such arrangements or reorganization may be also carried out in respect of the Participants and their Options and/or RSUs and/or Shares. 
15.2.    The Participant acknowledges that in the event that the Company’s ordinary shares or their respective depositary receipts shall be registered for trading in any Stock Exchange, or in the event of a private offering of shares, the Participant’s rights to exercise their Awards or sell the Shares may be subject to certain limitations (including a lock-up period), as will be requested by the Company or its underwriters, and the Participant unconditionally agrees and accepts any such limitations.





18

15.3.    The Company does not undertake to cause the ordinary shares or the Shares to be listed on a Stock Exchange, or that the registration of the ordinary shares or the Shares for trade, if at all, shall take place within a certain period of time.
16.    The Rights Attached to the Shares
16.1.    Equal Rights. The Shares constitute part of the ordinary shares of the Company, and they shall have equal rights for all intents and purposes as the rights attached to the ordinary shares of the Company, subject to the provisions of this Plan and any Option Agreement or any Restricted Share Unit Agreement (as applicable). The Shares, being part of the ordinary shares of the Company, shall not be protected against dilution in any manner whatsoever, unless otherwise determined by the Board. It is hereby clarified that the Shares shall not constitute a separate class of shares, but shall be an integral part of the Company’s ordinary shares. 
Any change of the Company’s Articles of Association or any other incorporation document, which may change the rights attached to the Company’s ordinary shares, shall also apply to the Shares, and the provisions hereof shall apply with the necessary modifications arising from any such change.
The grant of Awards and issuance of Shares under this Plan shall not restrict the Company in any way regarding future creation of additional and/or other classes of shares, including classes of shares, which may in any manner be preferred over the currently existing ordinary shares which are offered to Participants under this Plan. Subject to section 14.1 above, the grant of Options, RSUs and Shares under this Plan shall not entitle any Participant to receive any compensation in the event of any change of the Company’s capital.
16.2.    Dividend Rights. No Participant shall have any rights to receive dividends in respect of the Shares underlying any outstanding Awards, until such Awards are exercised into Shares and these Shares are issued to the Participant or the Trustee. Following the issuance of such Shares by the Company, such Shares will entitle the Participant to receive any dividend, to which other holders of ordinary shares in the Company are entitled.
16.3.    Transfer and Sale of Shares. Shares shall not be sold or transferred prior to a M&A Transaction or an IPO, unless otherwise determined by the Board, other than by will or laws of descent and distribution. 
16.4.    Bring Along. For the avoidance of doubt it is clarified that as part of the ordinary shares of the Company, Shares issued upon exercise of Awards or in connection thereto shall be subject to any bring-along provision included in the incorporation documents of the Company or any shareholders agreement or similar agreement(s) by which some or all holders of ordinary shares of the Company are bound. 
16.5.    Voting Rights. No Participant shall have any rights to vote in the Company’s meetings in respect of underlying Shares, until such Shares are issued to the Participant or the Trustee. Following the issuance of such Shares by the Company, the Participant shall have the same voting rights as other holders of ordinary shares in the Company. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, and unless determined otherwise by the Board, as long as the Company’s ordinary shares are not traded on a Stock Exchange, any Shares issued upon the exercise of an Award 





19

shall be voted by an irrevocable proxy, such proxy to be assigned to the person or persons designated by the Board. The Participants will be required, as a condition to the receipt of the Awards granted pursuant to this Plan and as a condition to the issuance of any Shares, to sign such a proxy. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the proxy will be transferred upon any transfer of Shares unless such transfer occurs upon a M&A Transaction or upon or after an IPO of the Company.
17.    Changes to the Plan. The Board shall be entitled, from time to time, to update and/or change the terms of this Plan, in whole or in part, at its sole discretion, provided that only if the amendment refers to the extension of any vesting schedule determined for the Awards or increase of the Exercise Price of the Awards or cancellation of any Awards without compensation consent is received from the Participants. The Board shall be entitled to terminate this Plan at any time, provided that such termination shall not materially affect the rights of Participants, to whom Awards have already been granted.

18.3.    Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Board’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.
19.    Successors and Assigns. The Plan and any Award granted thereafter shall be binding on all successors and assignees of the Company and a Participant, including, without limitation, the estate of such Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participant’s creditors.
