      02098100130, in the person of Dr. Laura Iris Ferro, born in Milan on 3rd August,
      1951, in her capacity as Chairwoman of the Board of Directors, and Mr. Cary
      Grossman born in Corpus Christi in Texas (USA) on 15th February, 1954, in his
      capacity as Chief Financial Officer, authorised with joint signature by virtue

      the
      sake of brevity referred to as the "Bank") the credit of €uro 550,000.00 (five
      hundred and fifty thousand/00) represented by the balance of the account lodged
      as security no. 420011 made out to the latter, opened with the Como Branch
      of
      the "Bank".

    1. Purpose
      of the pledge and secured credit.
      The
      pledge is indivisibly given as guarantee for the payment of all the amounts
      which, on account of capital, interest, including interest on arrears, costs
      and
      additional charges, shall be owed to the "Bank" by the aforesaid "Guarantor"
      in
      consequence of the loan agreement for €uro 2,000,000.00 (Two million/00) in
      accordance with articles 10, 38 and subsequent articles of the Legislative
      Decree no. 285, 1st
      September, 1993 (Unified Body of Laws on the subject of banking and credit)
      referred to in the deed dated 20th
      July,
      2004 under the hand and seal of the Notary Public Dr. Giorgio Miserocchi of
      Como
      record no. 102338/18000.

    The
      pledge may be redeemed at the request of the "Guarantor", as of the due date
      of
      the first instalment of reimbursement of the loan, to an extent proportional
      to
      the capital share of the individual instalments fallen due and paid by the
      "Guarantor", resulting from the depreciation plan.

    2.
      General provisions.
      The
      pledge is governed by the following general provisions:

    a)
      Effectiveness of the pledge. The
      pledge is indivisibly lodged for its entire value as guarantee of the full
      payment of all the amounts which, on account of capital, interest, including
      interest on arrears, costs and additional charges, shall be owed to the "Bank"
      by the aforesaid "Guarantor" in consequence of the aforesaid loan agreement.
      It
      is independent of all and any other guarantees lodged by any person under any
      form whatsoever in favour of the "Bank" in the interests of the "Guarantor” and
      shall also guarantee, without the need for any further operations or
      declarations, the amount that has been received by the "Bank" as payment of
      the
      guaranteed obligations and which must be returned by the "Bank" in consequence
      of the ineffectiveness, revocation or cancellation of the payments made by
      any
      person whatsoever. The guarantee shall also remain firm and valid until the
      full
      discharge of the amount payable to the "Bank", in the event of the latter,
      at
      its unquestionable discretion, granting extensions of payment or modifications
      to the original terms, procedures and conditions of reimbursement of the loan,
      expromissions or assumptions of obligation, reductions or restrictions or
      waivers or substitutions of the collateral or personal securities lodged hereby,
      or which may be subsequently furnished, also
      by
      remission or composition on the part of the "Bank", and also in the event of
      total or partial nullity or invalidity of the guarantees
      themselves;

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    

    b) Extension
      and transfer of the pledge. The
      pledge is understood to be automatically extended also to any other amounts
      that
      may be further paid at the time of the individual payments, as well as to any
      interest which may accrue on the account lodged as security forming the subject
      thereof, without the need for any other formalities whatsoever. It is also
      understood that, in the event of the "Bank", at its unquestionable discretion,
      allowing withdrawals from the account lodged as security, this may never be
      understood as a waiver of the pledge on the residual balance and on the
      subsequent payments.

    c) Procedures
      of enforcement of the pledge. Whenever,
      at the due dates established by contract, or in the event of termination of
      the
      secured credit transaction, the "Debtor" fails to punctually fulfil his
      obligations of reimbursement and the amount payable to the "Bank" is not
      immediately paid up, the "Bank" itself is as of now authorised to withdraw
      the
      amounts owed to it directly from the account lodged as security forming the
      subject of the pledge, by a simple eight days’ advance notice to be dispatched
      to the "Guarantor" by registered letter, without detriment to all and any other
      rights or actions for the recovery of any difference.

    3. Costs
      and fiscal charges.
      All and
      any costs pertaining and consequential hereto shall be borne by the "Guarantor",
      who explicitly undertakes to pay the latter, declaring his intention to take
      advantage of the tax benefits contemplated by article 15 of the D.P.R. no.
      601,
      29th
      September, 1973.

    4. Competent
      Court of Law.
      Any
      controversies which may arise shall be referred to the competence of the
      judicial authorities in whose territorial jurisdiction the branch of the
      Territorial Area of the "Bank" which carried out the secured credit transaction
      is located.

    5. Choice
      of domicile.
      To all
      intents and purposes hereof, the "Guarantor" elects domicile in Villaguardia
      (CO), Piazza XX Settembre, 2

               may or may not contain such terms as will qualify the Options as Incentive
Stock                Options (“ISOs”) or as Nonstatutory Stock Options
               (“NSOs”). Options granted under this Plan may or may not

under                the Plan (“QualifiedOptions”). 

	 	(b) 	All

	 	(c) 	No
Employees, Directors or Service Providers of the Company shall, at any time,
               have a vested right to receive an Option under the Plan. 

	 	(d) 	Neither
the Plan nor the Option Agreements between the Company and any Optionee
               shall be construed to impose any obligation on the Company or a Related
Entity                thereof, to continue any Optionee’s employment or engagement
(as the case                may be) with it, and nothing in the Plan or in any Options
granted pursuant                thereto shall confer upon any Optionee any right to
continue in the employ or                engagement (as the case may be) with the Company
or a Related Entity thereof or                restrict the right of the Company or a
Related Entity thereof to terminate such                employment or engagement at any
time, with or without cause. 

	5. 	Shares Subject to the Plan. 

	 	
Subject
to the provisions of Section 10 hereof, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which
may be received upon the exercise of Options under the Plan is 5,388,216 Shares (the
“Reserved Shares”). Shares distributed pursuant to the Plan may consist
of authorized but unissued Shares. Any such Reserved Shares, may cease to be reserved for
the purpose of the Plan, at the Board’s decision, but until termination of the Plan,
the Company shall at all times reserve sufficient number of Reserved Shares to meet the
requirements of the Plan. 

- 6 -

	 	
If
an Option expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, the
unpurchased Shares which were subject thereto shall become available for grant or sale
under the Plan (unless the Plan has been terminated); provided, however, that
Shares that have actually been issued under the Plan shall not be again available for
future distribution under the Plan. 

	6. 	Term of Option. 

	 	
The
term of an Option shall expire on such date or dates as the Administrator shall determine
at the time of the grant of the Option; provided, however, that the term of an
Option shall not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. 

	7. 	Option Exercise Price and Consideration. 

	 	(a) 	The
exercise price of an Option shall be determined by the Administrator on the
               date of grant of such Option in accordance with applicable laws and the
               guidelines as shall be outlined by the Board from time to time, but shall
be                subject to the following: 

	 	
(i)
        In the case of an ISOs, the
exercise price shall be not less than the Fair Market Value per Share on the
date the Option is granted; provided, however, that if an ISO is granted to an
employee who, at the time of grant of such Option, owns stock representing more
than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or any parent or subsidiary, the exercise price shall be no less than
110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date the Option is granted.  

	 	
(ii)
                           In the case of an NSOs, the
exercise price shall be not less than eighty five           (85%) of the Fair Market
Value per Share on the date the Option is granted; provided, however, that if an
NSO is granted to an employee who, at the           time of grant of such Option, owns
stock representing more than ten percent           (10%) of the voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or any parent           or subsidiary, the exercise price
shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market           Value of the Company shares on
the date the Option is granted.  

	 	(b) 	The
consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an
               Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the
               Administrator and may consist entirely of (1) cash, (2) check,
(3)                deduction from the following salary (in case of an Employee) or the
following                payment (in all other cases), or (4) any combination of the
foregoing                methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type
of consideration                to accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance
of such consideration                may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company. 

- 7 -

	 	(c) 	The
proceeds received by the Company from the issuance of Shares subject to the
          Options will be added to the general funds of the Company and used for its
          corporate purposes. 

	8.  	Exercise of Option;
Right as a Shareholder; 

	 	8.1 	Any
Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at
such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in
the Option Agreement. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options
granted hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence. An Option may not
be exercised for a fraction of a Share. 

	 	8.2 	An
Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or
electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person
entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect
to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration and
method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by applicable laws, the
Option Agreement and the Plan. 

	 	8.3 	Shares
issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee provided
that Shares issued upon exercise of a Qualified Option, may be issued in the name of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Optionee. Prior to exercise and until the issuance (as
evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized
transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares, an
Optionee, as such, shall have no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights
of a shareholder of the Company. 

	 	8.4 	Upon
their issuance, the Shares shall carry equal voting rights on all matters, except as set
forth in Section 8(h) below, where such vote is permitted by applicable law. Upon the
signing of an Option Agreement, the Optionee shall sign an irrevocable proxy to the
Trustee (in case the Option is issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of
Optionee) or to the Company’s Chief financial Officer (CFO) (in all other cases), in
respect of voting rights relating to the Options and/or the Shares. Such proxy shall be
in effect until the earlier of: (i) The closing of an initial public offering of the
Company’s shares; (ii) the consummation of a Corporate Transaction, as defined in
Section 10(c) below; or (iii) Another date as determined by the Board, regarding all, or
part of the Optionees. In the event that the Optionee wishes to sell the Shares held by
it according to bona fide transaction (as determined by the Administrator) and such sale
to a third party was consummated in compliance with the terms and conditions of this
Plan, the Companies Articles of Association and applicable law, and after all applicable
taxes were paid by the Optionee, then the proxy relating to such sold shares shall
terminate, and the holder of such shares shall be entitled to vote such shares in such
third party sole discretion. Shares held by a Trustee under the Plan shall be voted by
the Trustee for the benefit of the Optionee in accordance with the terms of the proxy
signed by the Optionee. Upon release of such Shares such Shares shall be voted by the
Company’s CFO in accordance with the terms in the proxy. All other Shares issued by
exercising Options granted under the Plan shall be voted by the Company’s CFO in
accordance with the terms in the proxy. – If any law or regulation requires the
Company to take any action with respect to the Shares specified in such notice before the
issuance thereof, then the date of their issuance shall be extended for the period
necessary to take such action. 

- 8 -

	 	8.5 	An
Option may not be exercised unless, at the time the Optionee gives notice of exercise to
the Company, the Optionee includes with such notice payment in cash or by bank check, or
by deduction from the following salary (in case of an Employee) or the following payment
(in all other cases), or by any combination of the foregoing methods of payment, of all
withholding taxes due, if any, on account of its acquired Shares under the Option or
gives other assurance satisfactory to the Administrator of the payment of those
withholding taxes, as described in Section 7 above. 

	 	8.6 	Exercise
of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares thereafter
available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of
Shares as to which the Option is exercised. 

	 	8.7 	Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Option Plan, the Optionee shall vote in accordance with
the majority of the Company’s shareholders in case the Company offers its securities
to the public or consummates a Corporate Transaction (as defined in Section 10(c) below),
and the Optionee shall sign any document, shall approve any resolution and shall take any
further step required to that effect. 

	9.  	Termination
of Employment or Engagement

	 	(a) 	In
the event of termination of Optionee’s employment or engagement with the
               Company or a Related Entity, all Options granted to that Optionee, which
are                vested and exercisable at the time of such termination, may, unless
earlier                terminated in accordance with the Option Agreement, be exercised
within six (6)                months after the date of such termination. If, on the date
of termination, the                Optionee is not vested as to its entire Option, the
Shares covered by the                unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the
Plan. If the Option is not so                exercised within the time specified herein,
the Option shall terminate, and the                Shares covered by such Option shall
revert to the Plan 

- 9 -

	 	
For
the purposes of this section termination of employment or engagement shall mean the date
of actual cessation of employment or engagement with the Company or the Related Entity. 

	 	
Notwithstanding
Sections 9(a), (b), the Administrator shall be entitled to change the vesting schedules
of an Option and to extend the vesting of any otherwise expired Option. 

	 	(b) 	Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in subsection (a) above, in the event                of
termination of Optionee’s employment or engagement with the Company or
               the Related Entity by reason of death or disability (as determined by the
               Administrator specifically for each Optionee), all Options granted to such
               Optionee shall continue to vest and shall not expire consequently to such
               Optionee termination of employment with the Company. In such case, the
Optionee,                or if applicable, the Optionee’s legal guardian, the
Optionee’s estate                or a person who acquires the right to exercise the
Option by bequest or                inheritance, as the case may be, will continue to be
deemed as an Employee,                Director or Service Provider (as the case may be)
of the Company for the purpose                of this Plan and such Optionee’s
rights according to the Plan will not be                derogated due to the fact he or
she is no longer an Employee, Director or                Service Provider of the Company
(apart from tax consequences, if applicable, the                Optionee will solely
bear). 

	 	(c) 	Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in subsection (a) above, in the event                of
termination of Optionee’s employment, or engagement of the Optionee with
               the Company or a Related Entity for cause (as defined hereunder), all
               outstanding Options granted to such Optionee (whether vested or not)
shall, to                the extent not theretofore exercised, terminate on the date of
such termination,                unless otherwise determined by the Administrator. 

	 	
For
purposes of this Section, termination for “cause” shall mean discharged from
the employ or engagement with the Company or a Related Entity for reasons of negligence
in the discharge of Optionee’s duties, breach of fiduciary duty, willful cause of
damage or loss to the Company or Related Entity in any fashion or similar cause, or any
other breach of Optionee’s employment or engagement agreement (as the case may be)
with the Company.

	10. 	Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization
or Merger. 

	 	(a) 	Changes
in Capitalization. In the event of a shares split, shares                dividend,
recapitalization, combination or reclassification of the Shares,                rights
issues, increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares without
               receipt of consideration by the Company (but not the conversion of any
               convertible securities of the Company) or any other like events, then the
               Administrator in its sole discretion shall make an appropriate adjustment
as to                maintain the proportionate number of Shares related to each
outstanding Option                and the number of Shares reserved for issuance under
the Plan, as well as the                exercise price per Share of each outstanding
Option. Such adjustment made by the                Administrator shall be final,
conclusive and binding. 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 price of Shares                subject to an
Option. 

	 	(b) 	Dissolution
or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or
               liquidation of the Company, all Options will terminate immediately prior
to the                consummation of such proposed action or liquidation. To the extent
it has not                been previously exercised, an Option will terminate immediately
prior to the                consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation. 

	 	
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, the Administrator in its sole discretion shall be entitled to
determine that any or all unvested Options, at the time fourteen (14) days prior to the
dissolution or liquidation of the Company shall automatically become fully or partially
vested and exercisable. 

	 	
For
the purpose of this Plan, the beginning of a the dissolution or liquidation procedure
shall be considered as: (i) in case of a dissolution or liquidation by court – the
date of the dissolution or liquidation order, or (ii) in case of a voluntary dissolution
or liquidation – the date of the resolution of dissolution by the Company. 

	 	(c) 	Change
in Control. In the event of a change in ownership or control of                the
Company effected through any of the following transactions: 

- 11 -

	 	(i) 	a
merger, consolidation, reorganization of the Company or a similar business
               combination, in which the Company is not the surviving entity
               (“Merger); 

	 	(ii) 	the
acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any person or related group of
               persons (other than the Company or a person that directly or indirectly
               controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company),
of                beneficial ownership of securities possessing substantially all the
voting power                of the Company’s outstanding securities; and  

	 	(iii) 	the
sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
               Company’s assets (“Sale of all of the company’s
               assets”);  

	 	
(subsections
10(c)(i), 10(c)(ii) and 10(c)(iii) shall be referred to as “Corporate Transaction”) 

	 	
the
Company shall make its best reasonable commercial efforts in order to substitute all
outstanding Options, on an equitable basis (as determined solely by the Administrator)
with equivalent options or other securities in the successor company or a parent of the
successor company. However, if it is not possible (for any reason whatsoever) to
substitute the outstanding Options, as mentioned above, as well as in the case of the
closing of an IPO, then the Optionees may exercise all vested Options by no later than
fourteen (14) days prior to the consummation of such Corporate Transaction (unless
provided otherwise by the Administrator). In such case the Optionees will have to sell
all Shares they hold (in person or by the Trustee) under the same terms as set forth in
such Corporate Transaction. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, any Options
that are not exercised by the Optionees at least seven (7) days before the effective date
of the Corporate Transaction shall automatically expire and become void. 

	 	
For
the avoidance of doubt, the Administrator in its sole discretion shall be entitled to
determine that any or all unvested Options, at the time fourteen (14) days prior to the
consummation of a Corporate Transaction or an IPO, shall automatically become fully or
partially vested and exercisable, and then the same terms which apply to vested Options,
as described in this subsection, shall apply, mutatis mutandis. 

- 13 -

	 	
For
purposes of this paragraph, the Option shall be considered assumed or substituted if,
following the Corporate Transaction, the Option receives the right to purchase or
receive, for each optioned Share, the consideration (whether shares, cash, or other
securities or property) received in the Corporate Transaction by holders of Shares of the
Company on the effective date of the transaction (and if such holders were offered a
choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of
the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration is not
solely shares of the common stock (or their equivalent) of the successor company or its
parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor company, provide for
each Optionee to receive solely shares of the common stock (or their equivalent) of the
successor company or its parent equal in fair market value to the per Share consideration
received by holders of Shares in the Corporate Transaction. 

	11. 	Rights and Obligations attached to the Shares. 

	 	
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Articles of Association of the Company, as amended from
time to time, until the initial public offering of the Company’s shares on a
recognized stock exchange, the sale or the transfer of the Shares issued under this Plan
and following the Exercise of The Option, shall be subject to right of first refusal,
co-sale rights and other rights, of the existing shareholders of the Company according to
their proportional share at such time, as set forth in the Articles of Association of the
Company, as amended from time to time, and subject to other restrictions as may be
imposed by the Administrator. 

	 	
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Articles of Association of the Company, in respect of the
Shares, none of the Optionees shall have: (i) pre-emptive rights in relation to issuance
of new securities in the Company; (ii) rights of first refusal in relation with any sale
of shares of the Company; and (iii) co-sale rights in relation with any sale of shares of
the Company; 

	12. 	Amendment and Termination of the Plan. 

	 	(a) 	Amendment
and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter,                suspend or
terminate the Plan; provided, however, that such amendment,
               alternation, suspension or termination shall comply with applicable laws,
may                not change the terms and conditions of Options that have been already
granted                prior to such amendment, alternation, suspension or termination,
subject to                Subsection 12(c) below, and to the extent such consent is
necessary the consent                of the Trustee. 

- 13 -

	 	(b) 	Shareholder
Approval. The Board shall obtain shareholder approval of any                Plan
amendment to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with applicable
               laws and with the Company’s Articles of Association. 

	 	(c) 	Effect of Amendment or Termination.
Notwithstanding                subsection 12(a) above, no amendment, alteration,
suspension or termination of                the Plan shall impair the rights of any
Optionee, unless mutually agreed                otherwise between the Optionee and the
Administrator, which agreement must be in                writing and signed by the
Optionee and the Company. Termination of the Plan                shall not affect the
Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted                to it
hereunder with respect to Options granted under the Plan prior to the date
               of such termination. 

	13. 	Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. 

	 	(a) 	Legal
Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of                an
Option unless the exercise of such Option, the method of payment and the
               issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with applicable laws and
if                the Administrator deems fit, shall be further subject to the approval
of counsel                for the Company with respect to such compliance. 

	 	(b) 	Investment
Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Option,                the
Administrator may require the person exercising such Option to represent and
               warrant at the time of such exercise that the Shares are being purchased
only                for investment and without any present intention to sell or
distribute such                Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such
a representation is                required. 

- 14 -

	14. 	 Inability
to Obtain Authority. 

	 	
The
inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having
jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to
the lawful issuance of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability
in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite
authority shall not have been obtained. 

	15. 	 Non-Transferability of Options. 

	 	
Except
as set forth in Section 9(b) hereof, Options, whether fully paid or not, may not be sold,
pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by
will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime
of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. 

	16. 	 Multiple
Agreements. 

	 	
The
terms of each Option may differ from other Options granted under the Plan at the same
time or at any other time. The Administrator may also grant more than one Option to a
given Optionee during the term of the Plan, either in addition to, or in substitution
for, one or more Options previously granted to that Optionee. 

	17. 	 Effective
Date and Term of Plan. 

	 	
The
Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board and shall continue in effect
for a term of ten (10) years after the earlier of its adoption, unless sooner terminated
in accordance with the Plan. 

	18. 	 Governing
Law. 

	 	
This
Plan shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
state of Israel applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein, without giving
effect to the principles of conflict of laws. The competent courts of Tel-Aviv, Israel
shall have sole jurisdiction in any matter pertaining to this Option Plan. 

- 15 -

	19.  	Appointment
of Trustee. 

	 	19.1 	The
Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to elect and appoint the Trustee
for this Plan (the “Trustee”). Upon such appointment a trust agreement, which
comply with the relevant and applicable laws, will be signed between the Trustee and the
Company. 

	 	19.2	In
the event that the Trustee has been appointed, any or all Options granted to Employees
according to this Plan may be issued to the Trustee and registered in the Trustee’s
name for the benefit of that Employees, in the Administrator’s sole discretion. 

	 	19.3	In
the event that the Company issues any Options to the Trustee, the Administrator shall
determine whether, in order to ensure that the Plan should qualify under the laws of any
country or jurisdiction where Options are granted under the Plan, the exercise of any
Options or the sale or transfer of the Options or the underlying Shares shall be
restricted for a certain period of time as required under the relevant laws. 

	 	19.4 	The
Trustee shall be exempt from any liability in respect of any action or decision duly
taken in its capacity as Trustee. 

	20.  	Tax
Consequences.  

	 	
Any
tax consequences (pursuant to any Israeli or any foreign law) arising from the grant or
exercise of any Option or from the payment for Shares or from any other event or act
(whether of the Optionee or of the Company or a Related Entity or of its Trustee)
hereunder, shall be borne solely by the Optionee. The Company and/or the Trustee shall
withhold taxes according to the requirements under the applicable laws, rules, and
regulations, including withholding taxes at source. Furthermore, such Optionee shall
agree to indemnify the Company and/or the Related Entity that employs and/or engaged with
the Optionee (as the case may be) and/or the Trustee and/or the Administrator and/or the
Company’s shareholders and/or directors and/or officers if applicable, 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. Except as
otherwise required by law, the Company shall not be obligated to honor the exercise of
any Option by or on behalf of an Optionee until all tax consequences (if any) arising
from the exercise of such Options are resolved in a manner reasonably acceptable to the
Company.
