Re: Allot Communications Ltd. — Options Grant Letter (“Grant Letter”)



It is with pleasure that I hereby notify you that the Board of Directors of Allot
Communications Ltd. (the “Company”) has decided to grant you options (the “Options”), which shall
enable you to acquire
<<              >> Ordinary Shares of the Company NIS 0.01 par value (the
“Shares”). The Options are granted as part of the “Allot Communication Ltd. Stock Option Plan
(2003)” (the “Plan”), which was approved by the Board of Directors. The Options are granted to you
under the capital gain tax route in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 of the Income Tax
Ordinance [New Version], 1961 as now in effect or as hereafter amended (“Section 102”).



Any capitalized terms not specifically defined in this letter shall be construed according to the
interpretation given to them in the Plan.



You will be entitled to exercise the Options on the following vesting dates (the “Vesting Dates”):



As of
<<              >>, 25% of the Options
(exercisable to <<              >> Shares); and



As of
<<              >> and at the end of every subsequent 3 months – additional 6.25% (exercisable
to <<              >> Shares), up to 100% of the amount of the Options listed above.



In any
event, no Option shall be exercised later than
<<              >> (the “Expiration Date”).
Each Option shall be exercisable following the Vesting Dates and subject to the provisions of the
Plan, however, no Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date.



The Options may be exercised by you in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, to the
extent that the Options became vested and exercisable, prior to the Expiration Date.



When you decide to exercise your Options and acquire the Shares, kindly submit a notice of exercise
(the “Notice of Exercise”) to the Company’s Secretary or any other person appointed by the Company
to deal with this matter, who will have you sign all necessary documents. The Notice of Exercise
shall specify the number of Shares with respect to which Options are being exercised. You will be
requested to pay a sum, in NIS in accordance to the representative rate of exchange of the U.S.
Dollar, published by the Bank of Israel and known on the date of the Notice of Exercise, equal to
<<Price Per Share>> per each Option exercised.

(as defined in the Plan), you shall only be able to exercise Vested Options that are exercisable on
the date of termination of employment, within thirty (30) days from the of termination of your
employment. In the event that termination is the result of death or disability, any Vested Options
still in force may be exercised for a period of four (4) months from the date of such termination.

provisions of section 102 (the “Trustee”) and held by the Trustee for such period of time as
required by Section 102 or any regulations, rules or orders or procedures promulgated thereunder
(the “Holding Period”).

whatsoever) in respect of any Shares purchasable upon the exercise of any Options, until you are
registered as holder of such Shares in the Company’s register of shareholders upon exercise of the
Options.

and regulations of such stock exchange commission. Therefore, you may be required in different
occasions not to sell your Shares in the Company for a limited period of time. By receiving the
options hereunder you agree to be bound by, and to act in accordance with, the abovementioned
requirements. In addition, any transfer of Shares is subject to restrictions set fourth in the

or transaction in connection with the Plan, including tax consequences connected with the sale of
Shares. The Company and/or the Trustee shall withhold taxes according to the requirements under the
