FREESTANDING STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

As a participant in the Ormat Technologies, Inc. 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), you have been granted a stock appreciation right (herein called a “right”) under the Plan. The right gives you the opportunity to receive at the time of exercise of the right shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the amount by which the market value of all shares in respect of which the right is exercised exceeds the grant price set forth in the Freestanding Stock Appreciation Right Agreement (herein called the letter agreement) multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the right is exercised, subject to your acceptance of the right as provided in Section 1 below and the other terms and conditions described below.

 

The date of the grant of the right (herein called the date of grant) and the date the right expires are set forth in the letter agreement.

 

Note that all capitalized terms in the letter agreement and these Terms and Conditions are defined in the Plan, except as indicated in such agreement and herein. All terms of the Plan are hereby incorporated into these Terms and Conditions.

 

	
			1.

				
			Acceptance of Right: The right cannot be exercised unless you sign your name in the space provided on the enclosed copies of the letter agreement and cause one signed copy to be received by the Corporate Secretary of the Company, c/o Ormat Systems Ltd., Industrial Area, P.O. Box 68, Yavne 8100 Israel (or to such other person and place as the Company may specify in writing), before 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on the 3rd day after the date of grant. If the 3rd day is a holiday in the United States or in Israel, such signed copy of the letter agreement will be considered timely received if it is received by 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on the following business day in the United States and Israel after such holiday. If the Corporate Secretary does not receive your properly executed copy of the letter agreement before such time, then, anything in the letter agreement and these Terms and Conditions to the contrary notwithstanding, the right will terminate immediately. (Your signing and delivering a copy of the letter agreement will evidence your acceptance of the right upon these Terms and Conditions.)

			

 

	
			2.

				
			Exercise:

			

 

	 	
			(a)

				
			Subject to the provisions of this Section 2 and of Section 4, the right shall be exercisable on November 06, 2018.

Such amendments, adjustments and actions may include, but are not limited to, (i) changes in the number and kind of shares set forth in the letter agreement, (ii) changes in the grant price per share, and (iii) accelerating the vesting of the right.

If a properly executed notice of exercise is not received by ESOP Excellence (or other person designated by the Company) by 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on the applicable expiration date specified in the letter agreement, the notice will be deemed null and void and of no effect. If notice of exercise of the right is given by a person other than you, the Company may require as a condition to exercising the right that appropriate proof of the right of such person to exercise the right be submitted to the Company. Certificates for any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise will be issued and delivered as soon as practicable.

If applicable, you may also arrange to have any tax (or taxes) paid directly to the Company on your behalf from the proceeds of the sale of Common Stock to the extent provided in the notice of exercise referred to in Section 9.
