EXHIBIT 4.4  

GILAT SATELLITE
NETWORKS LTD

SHARE INCENTIVE
PLAN 

	1.  	Purpose  

        The
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is intended
to encourage directors, service providers, officers and other designated employees of
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries and
affiliates to acquire the Company’s ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.20
(“Ordinary Shares”). It is believed that the Plan will serve the interests of
the Company and its shareholders because it allows Participants (as defined in Section 3
below) to have a greater personal financial interest in the Company through ownership of,
or the right to acquire, its Ordinary Shares, which in turn will stimulate the efforts of
the Participants on the Company’s behalf, and maintain and strengthen their desire to
remain with the Company. It is believed that the Plan also will assist in the recruitment
of individuals who may be eligible to participate in the Plan. 

        It
is intended that the Plan shall serve as the primary plan under which equity-based awards
are awarded on a worldwide basis to Participants who are employed by or perform services
for the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates. 

	2.  	Administration  

        The Board of Directors of the Company
(the “Board”) will have exclusive authority to (i) approve one or more subplans
that will be established, within the parameters and according to the overall terms and
provisions of the Plan, to facilitate local administration of the Plan in Israel and in
various other jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate, and to
conform the broad provisions of the Plan with legal and tax requirements of each such
jurisdiction (each a “Subplan”); (ii) allocate from within the aggregate number
of Ordinary Shares covered by the Plan, a portion of such Ordinary Shares to be
specifically utilized in connection with each of the Subplans, and determine the types of
Incentives (as defined in Section 5 below) to be granted; (iii) if necessary, establish
such broad overriding policies, broad guidelines or parameters that shall be applicable to
all Incentives granted under the Subplans during the forthcoming year as the Board may
deem appropriate (the “Annual Policies”); (iv) grant awards under the Plan and
Sub-Plans; (v) approve any supplements to or amendments, restatements or alterations of
the Plan or any such Subplan, as may be necessary to comply with legal or tax requirements
or which they may otherwise deem necessary and appropriate, and (vi) make determinations
with respect to adjustments of Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 6(b). Any such actions
or authority may be delegated to a committee comprised of “independent
directors” as defined under the rules and regulations of the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”), and shall include at
least one Statutory Independent Director (as defined under Israeli law), subject and to
the extent such delegation is permitted under applicable law.

        In
all other respects, the Plan shall be administered (a by a committee appointed by the
Board and consisting of not less than two members (each such committee, as applicable, the
“Committee”). The Committee shall have the power, within the parameters and
terms and conditions of the Plan and any Annual Policies, to the extent that such policies
may have been adopted, to (i) approve the Participants to whom Incentives may be granted
under the Plan (or any Subplan); (ii) determine the type or types of Incentives to be
granted to each Participant; (iii) determine the terms and conditions of any Incentive
granted; and (iv) interpret and administer the Plan or applicable Subplan and any
instrument or agreement entered into under or in connection with the Plan or any such
Subplan, including any Incentive award agreement. The terms and provisions of Incentives
and the agreements evidencing Incentives need not be uniform and may be made selectively
among Participants who receive, or are eligible to receive, Incentives under the Plan or
any Subplan, whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. 

        The
Committee shall have the responsibility of construing and interpreting the Plan and any
Subplan, including the right to construe disputed Plan provisions, and of establishing,
amending and construing such rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or desirable
for the proper administration of the Plan or any Subplan. Any decision or action taken or
to be taken by the Committee, arising out of or in connection with the construction,
administration, interpretation and effect of the Plan or any Subplan and of its rules and
regulations, shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be within its
absolute discretion and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company, or the
relevant Company subsidiary, all Participants and any person claiming under or through any
Participant. 

        For
the purpose of this Section and all subsequent Sections, the Plan shall be deemed to
include this Plan and any Subplans, supplements to or amendments, restatements or
alternative versions of this Plan or any Subplan approved by the Board which, in the
aggregate, shall constitute one Plan governed by the terms set forth herein. 

	3.  	Eligibility  

         (a)       
          Participants. Directors, officers, service providers and employees of the
          Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates have been approved by the Committee
          as participants (collectively referred to as “Participants” and
          individually as a “Participant”) shall be eligible to receive grants
          of Incentives under the Plan. Incentives granted to directors of the Company
          shall be subject to the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company. Once
          such approval is obtained, the Ordinary Shares subject to Incentives shall count
          against the maximum number of Ordinary Shares permitted to be issued under the
          Plan pursuant to Section 6(a). Participation in the Plan shall be limited to
          Participants who have entered into a written agreement evidencing the terms of
          an Incentive award granted pursuant to the terms of the Plan. However, no
          individual shall at any time have a right to be selected for participation in
          the Plan. 

2

         (b)       
          No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere
          with or limit in any way the right of the Company or its subsidiaries or
          affiliates to terminate the employment of a Participant at any time, nor confer
          upon any Participant the right to continue in the employ of the Company or its
          subsidiaries or affiliates, as applicable. No director, officer or employee
          shall have a right to receive an Incentive or any other benefit under this Plan
          or, having been granted an Incentive or other benefit, to receive any additional
          Incentive or other benefit. Except as may be otherwise specifically stated in
          any other employee benefit plan, policy or program, neither any Incentive under
          this Plan nor any amount realized from any such Incentive shall be treated as
          compensation for the purpose of calculating an employee’s benefit under any
          such benefit plan, policy or program. 

	4.  	Term
of the Plan  

        This Plan shall be effective as of
October 29, 2008 (the “Effective Date”). No Incentive shall be granted under the
Plan after October 20, 2015, but the term and exercise of Incentives granted theretofore
may extend beyond that date. 

	5.  	Incentives  

        Incentives
under the Plan may be granted in any one or a combination of the following awards: (a)
Share Options; (b) Performance Share Awards; (c) Performance Share Unit Awards; (c)
Restricted Share Awards; (e) Restricted Share Unit Awards; and (f) other Share-Based
Awards (collectively, “Incentives”). All Incentives shall be subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and in any Incentive award agreement executed
by the Participant and the Company and such other terms and conditions as may be
established by the Committee. 

	6.  	Ordinary
Shares Available for Incentives; Adjustments; Delay in Delivery; Limit on Aggregate
Incentives and Change in Control Provisions  

         (a)       
          Ordinary Shares Available. Subject to the provisions of Section 6(b), the
          maximum number of Ordinary Shares that may be issued under the Plan is one
          million in a fungible pool of Ordinary Shares. The maximum number of available
          Ordinary Shares will be reduced by one Ordinary Share for every Share Option or
          any other unit of an Incentive that is awarded under the Plan. Any Ordinary
          Shares under this Plan that are not purchased or awarded under an Incentive that
          has lapsed, expired, terminated or been canceled may be used for the further
          grant of Incentives under the Plan. Incentives and similar awards issued by an
          entity that is merged into or with the Company, acquired by the Company or
          otherwise involved in a similar corporate transaction with the Company are not
          considered issued under this Plan. Ordinary Shares under this Plan may be
          delivered by the Company from its authorized and newly issued Ordinary Shares or
          from issued and reacquired Ordinary Shares held as treasury stock, or both. In
          no event shall fractional shares be issued under the Plan. 

3

         (b)       
          Adjustment of Ordinary Shares. The aggregate number of Ordinary Shares
          that may be purchased or acquired pursuant to Incentives granted hereunder, the
          number of Ordinary Shares covered by each outstanding Incentive and the price
          per share with respect to any Share Option shall be appropriately adjusted for
          any increase or decrease in the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares resulting
          from stock splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations or any other subdivision
          or consolidation of Ordinary Shares or for other capital adjustments or payments
          of stock dividends or distributions or other increases or decreases in the
          outstanding Ordinary Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the
          Company. Any adjustment shall be conclusively determined by the Board in its
          sole discretion. 

    (c)        Delay
in Delivery.  

		    (i)        The
Company is relieved from any liability for the non-issuance or non-transfer,           or
for any delay in the issuance or transfer of any Ordinary Shares subject to
          Incentives, resulting from the inability of the Company to obtain, or from any
          delay in obtaining, from any regulatory body having jurisdiction or authority,
          any requisite approval to issue or transfer any such Ordinary Shares, if
counsel           for the Company deems such approval necessary for the lawful issuance
or           transfer thereof.  

		    (ii)        Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall not have any
          obligation or liability as a result of any delay in issuing any certificate
          evidencing Ordinary Shares or in the delivery thereof to Participants, or any
          act or omission of the Company-designated brokerage firm in relation to the
          Ordinary Shares.  

         (d)       
          Change in Control Provisions. 

		    (i)        Impact
of Change in Control on Share Options, Restricted Share Awards,           Restricted
Share Unit Awards and other Share-Based Awards. The terms of each           Incentive
shall provide in the Incentive award agreement evidencing the           Incentive that,
upon a Change in Control (as defined below), (a) Share Options           outstanding as
of the date of the Change in Control shall become fully vested           and exercisable
(b) restrictions on Restricted Share Awards and Restricted Share           Unit Awards
shall lapse and the Restricted Share Awards and Restricted Share           Unit Awards
shall become free of all restrictions and limitations and become           vested, and
(c) the restrictions and other conditions applicable to any other           Share-Based
Awards shall lapse, and such other Share-Based Awards shall become           free of all
restrictions, limitations or conditions and become fully vested in           full and
transferable to the full extent of the original grant, subject in each           case to
any terms and conditions contained in the Incentive award agreement           evidencing
such Incentive, including but not limited to a condition that such           treatment
will apply only if the Participant remains employed on the effective           date of
the Change in Control or has incurred an involuntary termination of           employment
without cause on account of the Change in Control, as determined by           the Board
or the Committee in its discretion, within a period of up to 3 months           prior to
the effective date of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding any other
          provision of the Plan, the Board or the Committee in its discretion, may
          determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each Share Option
          outstanding shall terminate within a specified number of days after notice to
          the Participant, and such Participant shall receive, with respect to each
          Ordinary Share subject to such Share Option, an amount equal to the excess of
          the fair market value (determined on the basis provided in Section 7(b)) of
such           share immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control over
the           exercise price per share of such Share Option, such amount to be payable in
          cash, in one or more kinds of stock or property (including the stock or
          property, if any, payable in the transaction) or in a combination thereof, as
          the Board or Committee, in its discretion, shall determine.  

4

		    (ii)        Assumption
of Share Options Upon Change in Control. In the event of a           Change in
Control, the successor company may assume or substitute for a Share           Option. For
the purposes of this Section 6(d)(ii), a Share Option shall be           considered
assumed or substituted for if following the Change in Control the           award confers
the right to purchase, for each Ordinary Share subject to the           Share Option
immediately prior to the Change in Control, the common stock of the           successor
company equal in fair market value to the per share consideration           received by
holders of Ordinary Shares; provided, however, that if such           consideration
received in the transaction constituting a Change in Control is           not solely
common stock of the successor company, the Board or the Committee           may, with the
consent of the successor company, provide that the consideration           to be received
upon the exercise of a Share Option for each Ordinary Share           subject thereto,
will be solely common stock of the successor company           substantially equal in
fair market value to the per share consideration received           by holders of
Ordinary Shares in the transaction constituting a Change in           Control. The
determination of such substantial equality of value of           consideration shall be
made by the Board in its sole discretion and its           determination shall be
conclusive and binding.  

		    (iii)        Impact
of Change in Control on Performance Share Awards and Performance Share           Unit
Awards. The terms of any Performance Share Award or Performance Share           Unit
Award shall provide in the Incentive award agreement evidencing the           Performance
Share Award or Performance Share Unit Award that, upon a Change in           Control:  

		    (A)        a
pro rata portion of Performance Share Awards or Performance Share Unit Awards
          shall be considered to be earned and payable based on the portion of the Award
          Period (defined below) completed as of the date of the Change in Control and
          based on performance to such date, or if performance to such date is not
          determinable, based on target performance, and  

		    (B)        the
remaining portion of Performance Share Awards and Performance Share Unit           Awards
shall be assumed, converted or replaced with restricted stock or           restricted
stock units, as applicable, in the successor company’s shares           based on the
portion of the Award Period not yet completed and based on target           performance.
Such assumed, converted or replaced portion of the Performance           Share Award or
Performance Share Unit Award shall be restricted for the           remainder of the Award
Period. If the successor company does not assume, convert           or replace the
remaining portion of the Performance Share Award or Performance           Share Unit
Award as described in this Section 6(e)(iii)(B), the full award shall           be
considered earned and payable upon consummation of the Change in Control.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Incentive award agreement for a Performance
          Share Award or Performance Share Unit Award may provide that, in the event of
an           involuntary termination of the Participant’s employment with the
Company or           any subsidiary or affiliate without cause on account of the Change
in Control,           as determined by the Board or the Committee in its sole discretion,
within a           period of up to 3 months prior to the effective date of the Change in
Control           and/or in the event of an involuntary termination of the Participant’s
          employment without cause in such successor company within the period of up to
24           months following such Change in Control, the award shall be considered
          immediately and fully earned and payable.  

5

         (e)       
          Definition of Change in Control. For purposes of the Plan, Change in
          Control shall mean a change in ownership or control of the Company effected
          through any of the following transactions: 

		    (i)        A
merger, consolidation or other reorganization approved by the Company’s
          shareholders, unless securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of
          the total combined voting power of the voting securities of the successor
          company are immediately thereafter beneficially owned, directly or indirectly
          and in substantially the same proportion, by the persons who beneficially owned
          the Company’s outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such
          transaction; or  

		    (ii)        The
sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the           Company’s
assets in complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or  

		    (iii)        Any
transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which any person           or
any group of persons comprising a “group” within the meaning of           Rule
13d-5(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange           Act”)
(other than the Company or a person that, prior to such transaction           or series
of related transactions, directly or indirectly controls, is           controlled by or
is under common control with, the Company) becomes directly or           indirectly the
beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the           Exchange Act) of
securities possessing (or convertible into or exercisable for           securities
possessing) more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined           voting power of
the Company’s securities outstanding immediately after the           consummation of
such transaction or series of related transactions, whether such           transaction
involves a direct issuance from the Company or the acquisition of           outstanding
securities held by one or more of the Company’s shareholders;           or  

		    (iv)        The
individuals who constituted the Board as of the Effective Date (the           “Incumbent
Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a           majority of the
directors of the Company; provided, however, that individuals           whose election,
or whose nomination for election by the Company’s           shareholders, was
approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the           Incumbent Board shall be
considered, for purposes of this Plan, members of the           Incumbent Board; and
provided, further, that no individual shall be considered a           member of the
Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office as a           result of
either an actual or threatened “election contest” (as           described in
Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act) (an “Election           Contest”)
or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents           by or on
behalf of a person or entity other than the Board (a “Proxy           Contest”),
including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle           any Election
Contest or Proxy Contest.  

6

	7.  	Share
Options  

        The
Committee may grant options (“Share Options”) hereunder to Participants. The
Share Options shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and such other terms
and conditions not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan as the Committee may prescribe: 

         (a)       
          Incentive Award Agreement. All Share Options granted pursuant to this
          Section 7 shall be evidenced by a written Incentive award agreement in such form
          and containing such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine that
          are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. With respect to Share
          Options granted to U.S. Participants, such Share Options granted are not
          intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the U.S.
          Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and shall be designated as options
          which do not so qualify. 

         (b)       
          Share Option Price. The exercise price of each Share Option granted under
          the Plan shall be determined by the Committee; provided, that the exercise price
          shall not be less than 100 percent of the fair market value (as defined below)
          of an Ordinary Share on the date the Share Option is granted, or the grant
          thereof is approved, as applicable under the laws or regulations of the various
          jurisdictions. 

	 	        At
any time when the Ordinary Shares are quoted on the, NASDAQ, the fair market value shall
be the closing price on, NASDAQ on the date on which the option is granted, or, if not
quoted on that day, then on the last preceding date on which such Ordinary Shares are
quoted. If the Ordinary Shares are not quoted on NASDAQ, or if representative quotes are
not otherwise available, the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares shall mean the
amount determined by the Committee to be the fair market value based upon a good faith
attempt to value the Ordinary Shares accurately and computed in accordance with
applicable laws, rules and regulations.  

         (c)       
          Share Option Period. The period of each Share Option shall be fixed by
          the Committee, provided that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the
          period for Share Options shall not exceed seven years from the date of grant
          (the “Termination Date”). 

7

         (d)       
          Exercise of Share Option and Payment. Unless otherwise determined in a
          Sub-Plan, no Ordinary Shares shall be issued until full payment of the option
          price has been made. Payment for the Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to a
          Share Option shall be made in full, upon exercise of the Share Option, in
          immediately available funds, by cash or certified or bank cashier’s check. 

         (e)       
          First Exercisable Date. The Committee shall determine how and when
          Ordinary Shares covered by a Share Option may be purchased. Subject to Section
          6(b), Share Options granted under the Plan shall vest and become exercisable
          subject to vesting to be determined by the Committee. Share Options may be
          exercisable in whole or in part and if an option is exercisable in part, the
          portion thereof which is exercisable and not exercised shall remain exercisable. 

         (f)       
          Termination of Share Options. Unless otherwise determined by the
          Committee, if prior to the Termination Date, a Participant ceases to be employed
          by the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate, as applicable, (i) for any reason
          other than death, disability, retirement or for cause, the Share Option will
          remain exercisable by the Participant for a period not extending beyond three
          months after the date of cessation of employment, but in no event later than the
          Termination Date, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of cessation of
          employment, and (ii) by reason of termination of employment for cause, or by
          voluntary termination at a time when the Company, or any subsidiary or
          affiliate, as applicable, is entitled to terminate such Participant’s
          employment for cause, the Share Option (both vested and unvested options) shall
          terminate immediately, unless prohibited by applicable law. The terms and
          conditions under which a Participant’s Share Options shall terminate in
          connection with any cessation of employment, other than as provided in (i) or
          (ii) above, shall be provided in the Participant’s Incentive award
          agreement. 

         (g)       
          Escrow Agreement. The Committee may require a Participant who receives a
          Share Option to enter into an escrow or trustee agreement providing that such
          Share Option, or the Ordinary Shares to distributed in connection with the
          exercise thereof, will remain in the physical custody of an escrow holder or
          trustee, as necessary to satisfy applicable local law. 

	 	        For
purposes of the Plan, in the case of a Participant who is a director, references to
employment herein shall be deemed to refer to such director’s service in such
capacity.  

	8.  	Performance
Share Awards  

        The
Committee may grant awards under which payment shall be made in Ordinary Shares if the
performance of the Company or any subsidiary, division or affiliate of the Company
approved by the Committee during the Award Period (defined below) meets certain goals
established by the Committee (“Performance Share Awards”). Such Performance
Share Awards shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and such other terms
and conditions not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan as the Committee may prescribe: 

8

         (a)       
          Incentive Award Agreement. The terms of any Performance Share Award
          granted under the Plan shall be set forth in a written Incentive award
          agreement, which shall contain provisions determined by the Committee and not
          inconsistent with the Plan. 

         (b)       
          Award Period and Performance Goals. The Committee shall determine and
          include in a Performance Share Award grant the period of time for which a
          Performance Share Award is made (“Award Period”). The Committee also
          shall establish, consistent with any Annual Policies, to the extent that any
          such policies may have been established performance objectives
          (“Performance Goals”) to be met by the Company or any subsidiary,
          division or affiliate of the Company or any employees thereof during the Award
          Period as a condition to payment of the Performance Share Award. The Performance
          Goals may include share price, pre-tax profits, earnings per share, return on
          shareholders’ equity, return on assets, sales, net income or any
          combination of the foregoing or any other financial or other measurement
          established by the Committee. The Performance Goals may include minimum and
          optimum objectives or a single set of objectives. 

         (c)       
          Payment of Performance Share Awards. The Committee shall establish the
          method of calculating the amount of payment to be made under a Performance Share
          Award if the Performance Goals are met, including the fixing of a maximum
          payment. The Performance Share Award shall be expressed in terms of Ordinary
          Shares and referred to as “Performance Shares.” After the completion
          of an Award Period, the performance of the Company or subsidiary, division or
          affiliate of the Company, as applicable, shall be measured against the
          Performance Goals, and the Committee or the Board shall determine, in accordance
          with the terms of such Performance Share Award, whether all, none or any portion
          of a Performance Share Award shall be paid. 

         (d)       
          Revision of Performance Goals. At any time prior to the end of an Award
          Period, the Committee may revise the Performance Goals and the computation of
          payment if unforeseen events occur that have a substantial effect on the
          performance of the Company or any subsidiary, division or affiliate of the
          Company and which, in the judgment of the Committee, makes the application of
          the Performance Goals unfair unless a revision is made. 

         (e)       
          Requirement of Employment. A grantee of a Performance Share Award must
          remain in the employ of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate until the
          completion of the Award Period in order to be entitled to payment under the
          Performance Share Award; provided, that the Committee may, in its discretion,
          provide for a full or partial payment where such an exception is deemed
          equitable 

9

         (f)       
          Escrow Agreement. The Committee may require a Participant who receives a
          Performance Share Award to enter into an escrow or trustee agreement providing
          that the Ordinary Shares to be distributed in connection with the settlement of
          a Performance Share Award will remain in the physical custody of an escrow
          holder or trustee, as necessary to satisfy applicable local law. To the extent
          deemed appropriate by the Committee, such escrow or trustee agreements may
          include a request to transfer the record ownership of such Ordinary Shares into
          the name of the escrow agent. 

         (g)       
          Dividends. The Committee may, in its discretion, at the time of the
          granting of a Performance Share Award, provide that the cash equivalent of any
          dividends declared on the Ordinary Shares during the Award Period, and which
          would have been paid with respect to Performance Shares had they been owned by a
          grantee, shall be paid to the Participant at the time the Performance Shares
          become payable to the Participant. 

	9.  	Performance
Share Unit Awards  

        The
Committee may grant performance share units (each, a “Performance Share Unit,”
and any award of Performance Share Units is hereafter referred to as a “Performance
Share Unit Award”) to Participants. Each Performance Share Unit is a notional unit
representing the right to receive one Ordinary Share as provided in Section 9(c). Each
Performance Share Unit Award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and
such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan as the
Committee may prescribe: 

         (a)       
          Incentive Award Agreement. The terms of any Performance Share Unit Award
          granted under the Plan shall be set forth in a written Incentive award
          agreement, which shall contain provisions determined by the Committee and not
          inconsistent with the Plan. 

         (b)       
          Award Period and Performance Goals. The Committee shall determine and
          include in a Performance Unit Share Award grant the Award Period. The Committee
          also shall establish, consistent with any Annual Policies, to the extent that
          any such policies may have been established, Performance Goals to be met by the
          Company or any subsidiary, business unit, division or affiliate of the Company
          during the Award Period as a condition to settlement of the Performance Share
          Unit Award. The Performance Goals may include minimum and optimum objectives or
          a single set of objectives. 

         (c)       
          Payment of Performance Share Unit Awards. The Committee shall establish
          the method of calculating the amount of payment to be made under a Performance
          Share Unit Award if the Performance Goals are met, including the fixing of a
          maximum payment. The Performance Share Unit Award shall be expressed in terms of
          Ordinary Shares and referred to as “Performance Unit Shares.” After
          the completion of an Award Period, the performance of the Company or subsidiary,
          division or affiliate of the Company, as applicable, shall be measured against
          the Performance Goals, and the Committee or the Board shall determine, in
          accordance with the terms of such Performance Share Unit Award, whether all,
          none or any portion of a Performance Share Unit Award shall be paid. 

10

         (d)       
          Revision of Performance Goals. At any time prior to the end of an Award
          Period, the Committee may revise the Performance Goals and the computation of
          payment if unforeseen events occur that have a substantial effect on the
          performance of the Company or any subsidiary, division or affiliate of the
          Company and which, in the judgment of the Committee, makes the application of
          the Performance Goals unfair unless a revision is made. 

         (e)       
          Requirement of Employment. A grantee of a Performance Share Unit Award
          must remain in the employ of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate until
          the completion of the Award Period in order to be entitled to payment under the
          Performance Share Unit Award; provided, that the Committee may, in its
          discretion, provide for a full or partial payment where such an exception is
          deemed equitable. 

         (f)       
          Dividends. The Committee may, in its discretion, at the time of the
          granting of a Performance Share Unit Award, provide that the cash equivalent of
          any dividends declared on the Ordinary Shares during the Award Period, and which
          would have been paid with respect to Performance Unit Shares had they been owned
          by a grantee, shall be paid to the Participant at the time the Performance Unit
          Shares become payable to the Participant. 

         (g)       
          Escrow Agreement. The Committee may require a Participant who receives a
          Performance Share Unit Award to enter into an escrow or trustee agreement
          providing that the Ordinary Shares to be distributed in connection with the
          settlement of a Performance Share Unit Award will remain in the physical custody
          of an escrow holder or trustee, as necessary to satisfy applicable local law. 

         (h)       
          Creditors’ Rights. A Participant who has been granted a Performance
          Share Unit Award shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of
          the Company. A Performance Share Unit represents an unfunded and unsecured
          obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable
          Incentive award agreement. 

	10.  	Restricted
Share Awards  

        The
Committee may grant Ordinary Shares to a Participant, which shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions and such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with
the terms of the Plan as the Committee may prescribe (“Restricted Share Award”): 

         (a)       
          Incentive Award Agreement. The terms of any Restricted Share Award
          granted under the Plan shall be set forth in a written Incentive award
          agreement, which shall contain provisions determined by the Committee and not
          inconsistent with the Plan. The Committee shall have absolute discretion to
          determine whether any consideration (other than services) is to be received by
          the Company as a condition precedent to the issuance of the Ordinary Shares. 

11

         (b)       
          Requirement of Employment. A grantee of a Restricted Share Award must
          remain in the employment of the Company, subsidiary or affiliate during a period
          designated by the Committee in order to retain the Ordinary Shares under the
          Restricted Share Award; provided that, unless specifically determined by the
          Committee, the Restricted Share Award shall be subject to vesting as determined
          in the Sub-Plan (“Restricted Share Restriction Period”). If the
          grantee leaves the employment of the Company, subsidiary or affiliate prior to
          the end of the Restricted Share Restriction Period, the Restricted Share Award
          shall terminate and the Ordinary Shares shall be returned immediately to the
          Company, or cancelled. The Committee may, in its discretion, also provide for
          such complete or partial exceptions to the employment restriction as it deems
          equitable. 

         (c)       
          Rights of Holders of Restricted Share Awards. Beginning on the date of
          grant of the Restricted Share Award and subject to the execution of an Incentive
          award agreement, the Participant shall become a shareholder of the Company with
          respect to any Ordinary Shares subject to the Restricted Share Award and shall
          have all the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote such Ordinary
          Shares and, subject to the Committee’s discretion pursuant to Section
          10(f), the right to receive distributions made with respect to such Ordinary
          Shares. 

         (d)       
          Restrictions on Transfer and Legend on Ordinary Share Certificates.
          During the Restricted Share Restriction Period, the grantee may not sell,
          assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of Ordinary Shares. Each
          certificate for Ordinary Shares issued hereunder shall contain a legend giving
          appropriate notice of the restrictions in the grant. 

         (e)       
          Lapse of Restrictions. All restrictions imposed under the Restricted
          Share Award shall lapse upon the expiration of the Restricted Share Restriction
          Period if the conditions as to employment set forth above have been met. The
          grantee shall then be entitled to have the legend removed from the certificates. 

         (f)       
          Performance Goals. The Committee may designate whether any Restricted
          Share Award is intended to be performance-based. Any such Restricted Share Award
          shall be conditioned on the achievement of one or more Performance Goals (as
          defined in Section 8(b)) (subject to revision as provided in Section 8(d)). 

         (g)       
          Escrow Agreement. The Committee may require a Participant who receives a
          Restricted Share Award to enter into an escrow or trustee agreement providing
          that the Ordinary Shares to be distributed in connection with the settlement of
          the Restricted Share Award will remain in the physical custody of an escrow
          holder or trustee, as necessary to satisfy applicable local law. To the extent
          deemed appropriate by the Committee, such escrow or trustee agreements may
          include a request to transfer the record ownership of such Ordinary Shares into
          the name of the escrow agent. 

12

         (h)       
          Dividends. The Committee may, in its discretion, at the time of the
          Restricted Share Award, provide that any dividends declared on the Ordinary
          Shares during the Restricted Share Restriction Period shall be (i) paid to the
          grantee, or (ii) accumulated for the benefit of the grantee and paid to the
          grantee only after the expiration of the Restricted Share Restriction Period. 

	11.  	Restricted
Share Unit Awards  

        The
Committee may grant restricted share units (each, a “Restricted Share Unit,” and
any award of Restricted Share Units is hereafter referred to as a “Restricted Share
Unit Award”) to Participants. Each Restricted Share Unit is a notional unit
representing the right to receive one Ordinary Share on the Settlement Date (as defined
below). Each Restricted Share Unit Award shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions and such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan
as the Committee may prescribe: 

         (a)       
          Incentive Award Agreement. The terms of any Restricted Share Unit Award
          granted under the Plan shall be set forth in a written Incentive award
          agreement, which shall contain provisions determined by the Committee and not
          inconsistent with the Plan. The Committee shall have absolute discretion to
          determine whether any consideration (other than services) is to be received by
          the Company as a condition precedent to the issuance of the Ordinary Shares. 

         (b)       
          Requirement of Employment. A grantee of a Restricted Share Unit Award
          must remain in the employment of the Company, subsidiary or affiliate during a
          period designated by the Committee in order to receive Ordinary Shares under the
          terms of the Incentive award agreement; provided that, unless specifically
          determined by the Committee, the Restricted Share Award shall be subject to
          vesting no earlier than the second anniversary of the date of grant
          (“Restricted Unit Restriction Period”). If the grantee leaves the
          employment of the Company, subsidiary or affiliate prior to the end of the
          Restricted Unit Restriction Period, the Restricted Share Unit Award shall
          terminate, and all rights of the grantee to such award shall terminate. The
          Committee may, in its discretion, also provide for such complete or partial
          exceptions to the employment restriction as it deems equitable. 

         (c)       
          Settlement of Restricted Share Units. Upon a date or dates on or
          following the expiration of the Restricted Unit Restriction Period, unless
          earlier forfeited, the Company shall settle the Restricted Share Unit Award by
          delivering (i) a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the number of Restricted
          Share Units subject to the Restricted Share Unit Award then vested and not
          otherwise forfeited, and (ii) if applicable, a number of Ordinary Shares having
          a value equal to any unpaid dividends declared on the Ordinary Shares subject to
          the Restricted Share Unit Award during the Restricted Unit Restriction Period.
          No Ordinary Shares shall be issued to Participants at the time a Restricted
          Share Unit Award is granted. 

13

         (d)       
          Creditors’ Rights. A Participant who has been granted a Restricted
          Share Unit Award shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of
          the Company. A Restricted Share Unit represents an unfunded and unsecured
          obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable
          Incentive award agreement. 

         (e)       
          Performance Goals. The Committee may designate whether any Restricted
          Share Unit Award is intended to be performance-based. Any such Restricted Share
          Unit Award shall be conditioned on the achievement of one or more Performance
          Goals (as defined in Section 8(b)) (subject to revision as provided in Section
          8(d)). 

         (f)       
          Escrow Agreement. The Committee may require a Participant who receives a
          Restricted Share Unit Award to enter into an escrow or trustee agreement
          providing that the Ordinary Shares to be distributed in connection with the
          settlement of the Restricted Share Unit Award will remain in the physical
          custody of an escrow holder or trustee, as necessary to satisfy applicable local
          law. 

	12.  	Other
Share-Based Awards  

        The
Board may establish other share-based awards payable in Ordinary Shares (each, a
“Share-Based Award”), which may be granted to Participants by the Committee
based on such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan as the
Board or the Committee may determine in its sole discretion. Share-Based Awards may be
made as additional compensation for services rendered by a Participant or may be in lieu
of cash or other compensation to which the Participant is entitled from the Company or any
subsidiary or affiliate. 

	13.  	Transferability  

        Each
Incentive granted under the Plan will not be transferable or assignable by the recipient,
and may not be made subject to execution, attachment or similar procedures, other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution or as determined by the Committee pursuant to
the terms of any written Incentive award agreement in accordance with any other applicable
law, rule or regulation. 

	14.  	Discontinuance
or Amendment of the Plan  

        The
Board may discontinue the Plan at any time and may from time to time amend or revise the
terms of the Plan as permitted by applicable statutes, rules and regulations, except that
it may not, without the consent of the grantees affected, revoke or alter, in a manner
unfavorable to the grantees of any Incentives hereunder, any Incentives then outstanding,
nor may the Board amend the Plan without shareholder approval where the absence of such
approval would cause the Plan to fail to comply with applicable law or regulation. Unless
approved by the Company’s shareholders or as otherwise specifically provided under
this Plan, no adjustments or reduction of the exercise price of any outstanding Incentives
shall be made in the event of a decline in stock price, either by reducing the exercise
price of outstanding Incentives or through cancellation of outstanding Incentives in
connection with a re-granting of Incentives at a lower price to the same individual. 

14

	15.  	No
Limitation on Compensation  

        Nothing
in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company to establish other plans
or to pay compensation to its employees, in cash or property, in a manner that is not
expressly authorized under the Plan. 

	16.  	No
Constraint on Corporate Action  

        Nothing
in the Plan shall be construed (i) to limit, impair or otherwise affect the Company’s
right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its
capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets, or (ii) except as provided in Section
14, to limit the right or power of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate to take any
action that such entity deems to be necessary or appropriate. 

	17.  	Withholding
Taxes  

        The
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall have the right to make all payments
or distributions pursuant to the Plan to a Participant net of any applicable federal,
state, local and foreign taxes required to be paid or withheld as a result of (a) the
grant of any Incentive, (b) the exercise of a Share Option, (c) the delivery of Ordinary
Shares, (d) the lapse of any restrictions in connection with any Incentive or (e) any
other event occurring pursuant to the Plan. The Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate,
as applicable, shall have the right to withhold from wages or other amounts otherwise
payable to a Participant such withholding taxes as may be required by law, or to otherwise
require the Participant to pay such withholding taxes. If the Participant shall fail to
make such tax payments as are required, the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes
from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Participant or to take such other
action as may be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligations. 

	18.  	Use
of Proceeds  

        The
proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Ordinary Shares under the Plan shall be
added to the general funds of the Company and shall be used for general corporate
purposes. 

15

	19.  	Provision
for Foreign Participants  

        Incentives
may be granted to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside Israel, or
both, on such terms and conditions different from those applicable to Incentives to
Participants employed in Israel as may, in the discretion of the Committee, be necessary
or desirable in order to recognize differences in local law or tax policy. The Committee
may also impose conditions on the exercise or vesting of Incentives in order to minimize
the Company’s obligation with respect to tax equalization for Participants on
assignments outside their home countries. 

	20.  	Restrictions  

        The
Committee shall have the power to impose such other restrictions on Incentives as it may
deem necessary or appropriate to ensure that such Incentives satisfy all requirements for
“performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of
the Code or any successor provision thereto, Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance or
any other applicable tax law provision. 

	21.  	Governing
Law  

        The
Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Israel
without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws.

Capital Gains Tax Track Through a Trustee – if the Company                elects
to allocate the Incentives according to the provisions of this track,                then
the Holding Period will be: (1) 24 months as from the date of allocation of
               such Incentives to the Trustee; or (2) such period as may be determined in
any                amendment of Section 102. 

	 	(B) 	Income
Tax Track Through a Trustee – if the Company elects to                allocate
Incentives according to the provisions of this track, then the Holding
               Period will be (1) 12 months from the date of allocation; or (2) such
period as                may be determined in any amendment of Section 102. 

	 	
Subject
to Section 102 and the Rules, Participants shall not be able to receive from the Trustee,
nor shall they be able to sell or dispose of underlying shares before the end of the
applicable Holding Period. However, if a Participant sells or removes the shares form the
Trustee before the end of the applicable Holding Period (“Breach”), then the
Participant shall pay all applicable taxes imposed on such Breach by Section 7 of the
Rules.  

	 	
In
the event of a distribution of rights, including an issuance of bonus shares, in
connection with Incentives originally granted (the “Additional Rights”),
all such Additional Rights shall be granted and/or issued to the Trustee for the benefit
of Participants, and shall be held by the Trustee for the remainder of the Holding Period
applicable to the Incentives originally granted. Such Additional Rights shall be treated
in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Tax Track.  

	2.2  	INCOME
TAX TRACK WITHOUT A TRUSTEE 

	 	
If
the Company elects to grant Incentives according to the provisions of this track, then
the Incentives will not be subject to a Holding Period.  

	2.3  	TRACK
SELECTION 

	 	
The
Company, in its sole discretion, shall elect under which of above three Tax Tracks each
Incentive is granted and shall notify the Participant in the 102 Letter, which Tax Track
applies to each Incentive.  

	 	
No
Incentive under the Capital Gains Track Through a Trustee or the Income Tax Track Through
a Trustee may be granted pursuant to this Sub-Plan to any eligible Participant, unless
and until, the Company’s election of the type of Incentive as Capital Gains Track
Through a Trustee or Income Tax Track Through a Trustee (the “Election”) is
appropriately filed with the Israeli Tax Authorities. Such Election shall become
effective beginning with the date of grant of the first Incentive pursuant to such Tax
Track and shall remain in effect at least until the end of the year following the year
during which the Company first granted Incentives pursuant to such Tax Track under this
Sub-Plan. The Election shall apply to all such Incentives granted during the period the
Election is in effect, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102(g) of the Tax
Ordinance. For the avoidance of doubt, such Election shall not prevent the Company from
granting Incentives under the Income Tax Track without a Trustee, at any time.  

19

	2.4  	CONCURRENT
CONDITIONS 

	 	
The
Holding Period, if any, is in addition to the vesting period as specified in the 2008
Plan. The Holding Period and vesting period may run concurrently, but neither is a
substitute for the other, and each are independent terms and conditions for Incentives
granted.  

	2.5  	TRUST
AGREEMENT 

	 	
The
terms and conditions applicable to the trust relating to the Tax Track selected by the
Company, as appropriate, shall be set forth in an agreement signed by the Company and the
Trustee (the “Trust Agreement”).  

	2.6  	DIVIDENDS 

	 	
Any
dividends payable with respect to Ordinary Shares acquired or issued with respect to any
Incentive granted pursuant to this Sub-Plan shall be subject to any applicable taxation
on distribution of dividends, and when applicable subject to the provisions of Section
102 of the Tax Ordinance and the rules, regulations or orders promulgated thereunder.  

	3.  	TAX
MATTERS 

Grants to Participants shall be
governed by, and shall conform with and be interpreted so as to comply with, the
requirements of Section 102 and any written approval from the Israeli Tax Authorities. All
tax consequences under any applicable law (other than stamp duty) which may arise from the
grant of Incentives, from the exercise thereof or from the holding or sale of underlying
shares (or other securities issued under the 2008 Plan) by or on behalf of the
Participant, shall be borne solely on the Participant. The Participant shall indemnify the
Company and/or Affiliate and/or the Trustee, as the case may be, and hold them harmless,
against and from any liability for any such tax or any penalty, interest or indexing. 

If the Company elects to grant
Incentives according to the provisions of the Income Tax Track Without a Trustee (Section
2.2 of this Sub-Plan), and if prior to the exercise of any and/or all of these Incentives,
such Participant ceases to be an employee, director, or officer of the Company or
Affiliate, the Participant shall deposit with the Company a guarantee or other security as
required by law, in order to ensure the payment of applicable taxes upon the exercise of
such Incentives. 

20

	4.  	WITHHOLDING
TAXES 

Whenever an amount with respect to
withholding tax relating to Incentives granted to a Participant and/or underlying shares
issued upon the exercise thereof is due from the Participant and/or the Company and/or an
Affiliate, the Company and/or an Affiliate shall have the right to demand from a
Participant such amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable withholding tax requirements
related thereto, and whenever shares or any other non-cash assets are to be delivered
pursuant to the exercise of an Incentives, or transferred thereafter, the Company and/or
an Affiliate shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company
and/or to the Affiliate, or to the Trustee an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any
applicable withholding tax requirements related thereto, and if such amount is not timely
remitted, the Company and/or the Affiliate shall have the right to withhold or set-off
(subject to Law) such shares or any other non-cash assets pending payment by the
Participant of such amounts. 

Until all taxes have been paid in
accordance with Rule 7 of the Section 102 Rules, Incentives and/or underlying shares may
not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered, or otherwise willfully
hypothecated or disposed of, and no power of attorney or deed of transfer, whether for
immediate or future use may be validly given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Incentives and/or underlying shares may be validly transferred in a transfer made by will
or laws of descent, provided that the transferee thereof shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 102 and the Section 102 Rules as would have been applicable to the
deceased Participant were he or she to have survived. 

	5.  	PARTICIPANT
UNDERTAKINGS 

Participants receiving Incentive
grants under the 2008 Plan shall be required to sign an approval stating that: “by
receiving grants under the 2008 Plan, the Participant (1) agrees and acknowledges that he
or she have received and read the 2008 Plan and the 102 Letter; (2) undertakes all the
provisions set forth in: Section 102 (including provisions regarding the applicable Tax
Track that the Company has selected), the 102 Rules, the 2008 Plan, the 102 Letter and the
Trust Agreement; and (3) subject to the provisions of Section 102 and the Rules,
undertakes not to sell or release the shares from trust before the end of the Holding
Period.”
