2.             Purpose: The purpose and intent of the Plan is to provide incentives to employees, directors, consultants and contractors of Radcom Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel, or any subsidiary thereof (the “Company”), by providing them with opportunities to purchase Ordinary Shares, nominal value of 0.05 New Israeli Shekel each (the “Shares”) of the Company, pursuant to a plan approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) which is designed to benefit from, and is made pursuant to, the provisions of either Section 102 or Section3(9) of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version] 1961 (the “Ordinance”), as applicable,  and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

B.  GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAN

 

3.             Administration:

 

3.1           The Board may appoint a Share Incentive Committee, which will consist of such number of Directors of the Company, as may be fixed from time to time by the Board. The Board shall appoint the members of the committee, may from time to time remove members from, or add members to, the Committee and shall fill vacancies in the Committee however caused. The Plan will be administered by the Share Incentive Committee, or where not permitted according to Section 112 of the Companies Law, 1999 (the “Companies Law”), by the Board (collectively - the “Committee”).

 

3.2           The Committee shall select one of its members as its Chairman and shall hold its meetings at such times and places, as it shall determine.  Actions taken by a majority of the members of the Committee, at a meeting at which a majority of its members is present, or acts reduced to, or approved in, writing by all members of the Committee, shall be the valid acts of the Committee. The Committee may appoint a Secretary, who shall keep records of its meetings and shall make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business, as it shall deem advisable.

 

  

  

  

 

3.3           Subject to the general terms and conditions of this Plan and applicable law, the Committee shall have the full authority in its discretion, from time to time and at any time, to determine (i) the persons ("Grantees") to whom options to purchase Shares (the "Options") shall be granted, (ii) the number of Shares subject to each Option, (iii) the time or times at which the same shall be granted, (iv) the schedule and conditions on which such Options may be exercised and on which such Shares shall be paid for, and/or (v) any other matter which is necessary or desirable for, or incidental to, the administration of the Plan. In determining the number of Shares subject to the Options to be granted to each Grantee, the Committee may consider, among other things, the Grantee's salary and the duration of the Grantee's employment by the Company.

 

3.4           Subject to the general terms and conditions of the Plan and the Ordinance, the Committee shall have the full authority in its discretion, from time to time and at any time, to determine:

 

(a)           with respect to the grant of 102 Options (as defined in Section 5.1(a)(i) below) - whether the Company shall elect the “Ordinary Income Route” under Section 102(b)(1) of the Ordinance (the “Ordinary Income Route”) or the “Capital Gains Route” under Section 102(b)(2) of the Ordinance (the “Capital Gains Route”) (each of the Ordinary Income Route or the Capital Gains Route - a “Taxation Route”) for the grant of 102 Options, and the identity of the trustee who shall be granted such 102 Options in accordance with the provisions of this Plan and the then prevailing Taxation Route;

 

   In the event the Committee determines that the Company shall elect one of the Taxation Routes for the grant of 102 Options, the Company shall be entitled to change such election only following the lapse of one year from the end of the tax year in which 102 Options are first granted under the then prevailing Taxation Route; and

 

(b)           with respect to the grant of 3(9) Options (as defined in Section 5.1(a)(ii) below) - whether or not 3(9) Options shall be granted to a trustee in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Plan, and the identity of the trustee who shall be granted such 3(9) Options in accordance with the provisions of this Plan.

 

3.5           Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the Committee may, from time to time and at any time, grant 102 Options that will not subject to a Taxation Route, as detailed in Section 102(c) of the Ordinance (“102(c) Options”).

 

3.6           The Committee may, from time to time, adopt such rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan as it may deem necessary.  No member of the Board or of the Committee shall be liable for any act or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option granted thereunder.

 

  

  

  

 

3.7           The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision of the Plan or of any Option thereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan or any Option or Share issuance thereunder unless otherwise determined by the Board.

 

4.             Eligible Grantees:

 

4.1           The Committee, at its discretion, may grant Options to any employee, director, consultant or contractor of the Company. Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, all grants of Options to office holders (i.e., "Nosei Misra", as such term is defined in the Companies Law) shall be authorized and implemented only in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law.

 

4.2           The grant of an Option to a Grantee hereunder, shall neither entitle such Grantee to participate, nor disqualify him from participating, in any other grant of options pursuant to this Plan or any other share option plan of the Company.

 

5.             Grant of Options, Issuance of Shares, Dividends and Shareholder Rights:

 

5.1           Grant of Options and Issuance of Shares.

 

(a)           Subject to the provisions of the Ordinance and applicable law,

 

(i)            all grants of Options to employees, directors and office holders of the Company, other than to a Controlling Shareholder of the Company (i.e., "Baal Shlita", as such term is defined in the Ordinance), shall be made only pursuant to the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“102 Options”), or any other section of the Income Tax Ordinance that will be relevant for such issuance in the future; and

 

(ii)           all grants of Options to consultants, contractors or Controlling Shareholders of the Company shall be made only pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(9) of the Ordinance and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“3(9) Options”), or any other section of the Ordinance that will be relevant for such issuance in the future.

 

(b)           Subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2 hereof, the effective date of the grant of an Option (the "Date of Grant") shall be the date specified by the Committee in its determination relating to the award of such Option.  The Committee shall promptly give the Grantee written notice (the "Notice of Grant") of the grant of an Option.

 

(c)           Trust.  In the event Options are granted under the Plan to a trustee designated by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 hereof and, with respect to 102 Options, approved by the Israeli Commissioner of Income Tax (the "Trustee"), the Trustee shall hold each such Option and the Shares issued upon exercise thereof in trust (the "Trust") for the benefit of the Grantee in respect of whom such Option was granted (the "Beneficial Grantee").

 

  

  

  

 

In accordance with Section 102 of the Ordinance and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the tax treatment of 102 Options (and any Shares received upon exercise of such Options) in accordance with the Ordinary Income Route or Capital Gains Route, as applicable, shall be contingent upon the Trustee holding such 102 Options for a period of at least (i) one year from the end of the tax year in which the 102 Options are granted, if the Company elects the Ordinary Income Route, or (ii) two years from the end of the tax year in which the 102 Options are granted, if the Company elects the Capital Gains Route, or (iii) such other period as shall be approved by the Israeli Commissioner of Income Tax.

 

All 102 Options granted hereunder to the Trustee, as aforementioned, shall be governed by the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance, the Income Tax Rules (Tax Relief in Issuance of Shares to Employees), 2003 (the "102 Rules") and any other regulations, rulings, procedures or clarifications promulgated thereunder.

 

With respect to 102 Options granted to the Trustee under a Taxation Route, the following shall apply:

 

(i)            A Grantee granted 102 Options shall not be entitled to sell the Shares received upon exercise thereof (the “Exercised Shares”) or to transfer such Exercised Shares (or such 102 Options) from the Trustee prior to the lapse of the Trust Period (as defined below);

 

(ii)           Any and all rights issued in respect of the Exercised Shares, including bonus shares but excluding cash dividends (“Rights”), shall be issued to the Trustee and held thereby until the lapse of the Trust Period, and such Rights shall be subject to the Taxation Route which is applicable to such Exercised Shares.

 

Notwithstanding the aforesaid, Exercised Shares or Rights may be sold or transferred, and the Trustee may release such Exercised Shares (or 102 Options) or Rights from Trust, prior to the lapse of the Trust Period, provided however, that tax is paid or withheld in accordance with Section 102(b)(4) of the Ordinance and Section 7 of the 102 Rules.

 

For the purposes of this section "Trust Period" shall mean: (i) one year from the end of the tax year in which the 102 Options are granted, if the Company elects the Ordinary Income Route, or (ii) two years from the end of the tax year in which the 102 Options are granted, if the Company elects the Capital Gains Route, or (iii) such shorter period as may be approved by the Israeli Income Tax Commissioner.

 

  

  

  

 

All certificates representing Shares issued to the Trustee under the Plan shall be deposited with the Trustee, and shall be held by the Trustee until such time that such Shares are released from the Trust as herein provided.

 

(d)          Subject to the terms hereof, at any time after the options have vested, with respect to any Options or Shares the following shall apply:

 

(i)            Upon the written request of any Beneficial Grantee, the Trustee shall release from the Trust the Options granted, and/or the Shares issued, on behalf of such Beneficial Grantee, by executing and delivering to the Company such instrument(s) as the Company may require, giving due notice of such release to such Beneficial Grantee, provided, however, that the Trustee shall not so release any such Options and/or Shares to such Beneficial Grantee unless the latter, prior to, or concurrently with, such release, provides the Trustee with evidence, satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee, that all taxes, if any, required to be paid upon such release have, in fact, been paid.

 

(ii)           Alternatively, provided the Shares are listed on a stock exchange or admitted to trading on an electronic securities trading system (such as the Nasdaq Stock Market), upon the written instructions of the Beneficial Grantee to sell any Shares issued upon exercise of Options, the Trustee shall use its reasonable efforts to effect such sale and shall transfer such Shares to the purchaser thereof concurrently with the receipt, or after having made suitable arrangements to secure the payment of the proceeds of the purchase price in such transaction.  The Trustee shall withhold from such proceeds any and all taxes required to be paid in respect of such sale, shall remit the amount so withheld to the appropriate tax authorities and shall pay the balance thereof directly to the Beneficial Grantee, reporting to such Beneficial Grantee and to the Company the amount so withheld and paid to said tax authorities.

 

5.2           Guarantee. In the event a 102(c) Option is granted to a Grantee who is an employee at the time of such grant, if the Grantee’s employment is terminated, for any reason, such Grantee shall provide the Company with a guarantee or collateral, to the full satisfaction of the Committee, securing the payment of all taxes required to be paid in connection with any action involving such 102(c) Option or the Shares received upon exercise of thereof. Alternatively, the Committee shall have the authority to instruct such Grantee to transfer his/her 102(c) Option to a trustee (or escrow agent) who shall hold such 102(c) Option, and the Shares received upon exercise thereof, in trust (or escrow) to guarantee the full payment of all taxes required to be paid in connection with any action involving such 102(c) Option or Shares.

 

5.3           Dividend.  All Shares issued upon the exercise of Options granted under the Plan shall entitle the Beneficial Grantee thereof to receive dividends with respect thereto. For so long as Shares issued to the Trustee on behalf of a Beneficial Grantee are held in the Trust, the dividends paid or distributed with respect thereto shall be remitted to the Trustee for the benefit of such Beneficial Grantee or distributed directly to such Beneficial Grantee, as shall be solely determined by the Committee prior to each such distribution or payment.

 

  

  

  

 

5.4           Shareholder Rights.  The holder of an Option shall have no shareholder rights with respect to the Shares subject to the Option until such person shall have exercised the Option, paid the exercise price and become the recordholder of the purchased Shares.

 

6.             Reserved Shares: The Company has reserved 946,748 authorized but unissued Shares to be issued under the Plan and any other option or incentive plan that the Company may adopt, subject to adjustments as provided in Section 11 hereof. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the Committee shall have full authority in its discretion to determine that the Company may issue, for the purposes of this Plan, previously issued Shares which are held by the Company, from time to time, as Dormant Shares (as such term is defined in the Companies Law). All Shares under the Plan, in respect of which the right hereunder of a Grantee to purchase the same shall, for any reason, terminate, expire or otherwise cease to exist, shall again be available for grant through Options under the Plan.

 

7.             Grant of Options:

 

7.1          The implementation of the Plan and the granting of any Option under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the Options granted under it and the Shares issued pursuant to it.

 

7.2          Without derogating from the foregoing, the Committee in its discretion may, subject to the provisions of the Ordinance, award to Grantees Options available under the Plan, provided however, that 102 Options granted under one of the Taxation Routes may be granted to the Trustee only following the fulfillment of the following procedure:

 

(i)             The Company shall inform the Israeli tax authorities of its election of a Taxation Route and shall submit the Plan to the Israeli tax authorities at least 30 days prior to the grant of any 102 Options under the elected Taxation Route;

 

(ii)            The Plan and the appointment of the Trustee shall be subject to approval of the Israeli tax authorities, provided, however, that if the Israeli Tax authorities shall not respond within 90 days of submission of the Plan and election of a Taxation Route by the Company, the Plan and/or the Trustee shall be deemed approved by the Israeli tax authorities.

 

7.3          The Notice of Grant shall state, inter alia, the number of Shares subject to each Option, the vesting schedule, the dates when the Options may be exercised, the exercise price, whether the Options granted thereby are 102 Options or 3(9) Options, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee at its discretion may prescribe, provided that they are consistent with this Plan. Each Notice of Grant evidencing a 102 Option shall, in addition, be subject to the provisions of the provisions of the Ordinance applicable to such options.

 

  

  

  

 

7.4           Vesting.  Without derogating from the rights and powers of the Committee under Section 7.3 hereof, unless otherwise specified by the Committee, the Options shall be for a term of ten (10) years, and, unless determined otherwise by the Committee, the schedule pursuant to which such Options shall vest, and the Beneficial Grantee thereof shall be entitled to pay for and acquire the Shares, shall be such that the Options shall be fully vested on the first business day following the passing of four (4) years from the Date of Grant (the “Vesting Period”) as follows: 50% of such Options shall vest on the second anniversary of the Adoption Date (the “Adoption Date” for the purpose of this Plan means the Date of Grant or any other date determined by the Committee for a given grant of Options). A further 25% of such Options shall vest on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the Adoption Date.

 

“Vesting Period” of an Option means, for the purpose of the Plan and its related instruments, the period between the Adoption Date and the date on which the holder of an Option may exercise the rights awarded pursuant to terms of the Option.

 

7.5           Acceleration of Vesting.  Anything herein to the contrary in this Plan notwithstanding, the Committee shall have full authority to determine any provisions regarding the acceleration of the Vesting Period of any Option or the cancellation of all or any portion of any outstanding restrictions with respect to any Option or Share upon certain events or occurrences, and to include such provisions in the Notice of Grant on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

 

7.6           Repricing. Subject to applicable law, the Committee shall have full authority to, at any time and from time to time, without the approval of the Shareholders of the Company, (i) grant in its discretion to the holder of an outstanding Option, in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of such Option, a new Option having an exercise price lower than provided in the Option so surrendered and canceled and containing such other terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, or (ii) effectuate a decrease in the Exercise Price (see Section 8 below) of outstanding Options.

 

8.             Exercise Price: The exercise price per Share subject to each Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that such exercise price shall not be less than the par value of the Shares into which such Option is exercisable.

 

9.             Exercise of Options:

 

9.1           Options shall be exercisable pursuant to the terms under which they were awarded and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

 

  

  

  

 

9.2           The exercise of an Option shall be made by a written notice of exercise (the "Notice of Exercise") delivered by the Beneficial Grantee (or, with respect to Options held in the Trust, by the Trustee upon receipt of written instructions from the Beneficial Grantee) to the Company at its principal executive office, specifying the number of Shares to be purchased and accompanied by the payment therefor, and containing such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall prescribe from time to time.

 

9.3           Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, but without derogating from the provisions of Section 10 hereof, if any Option has not been exercised and the Shares subject thereto not paid for within ten (10) years after the Date of Grant (or any shorter period set forth in the Notice of Grant), such Option and the right to acquire such Shares shall terminate, all interests and rights of the Grantee in and to the same shall ipso facto expire, and, in the event that in connection therewith any Options are still held in the Trust as aforesaid, the Trust with respect thereto shall ipso facto expire, and the Shares subject to such Options shall again be available for grant through Options under the Plan, as provided for in Section 6 herein.

 

9.4           Each payment for Shares shall be in respect of a whole number of Shares, and shall be effected in cash or by a bank’s check payable to the order of the Company, or such other method of payment acceptable to the Company.

 

10.           Termination of Employment:

 

10.1           Employees.  In the event that a Grantee who was an employee of the Company on the Date of Grant of any Options to him or her ceases, for any reason, to be employed by the Company (the “Cessation of Employment”), all Options theretofore granted to such Grantee when such Grantee was an employee of the Company shall terminate as follows:

 

(a)           The date of the Grantee’s Cessation of Employment shall be the date on which the employee-employer relationship between the Grantee and the Company ceases to exist (the “Date of the Cessation”).

 

(b)           All such Options which are not vested at the Date of Cessation shall terminate immediately.

 

(c)            If the Grantee’s Cessation of Employment is by reason of such Grantee's death or "Disability" (as hereinafter defined), such Options (to the extent vested at the Date of Cessation) shall be exercisable by the Grantee or the Grantee's guardian, legal representative, estate or other person to whom the Grantee's rights are transferred by will or by laws of descent or distribution, at any time until 180 days from the Date of Cessation, and shall thereafter terminate.

 

For purposes hereof, "Disability" shall mean the inability to engage in any substantial gainful occupation for which the Grantee is suited by education, training or experience, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which is expected to result in such person’s death or to continue for a period of six (6) consecutive months or more.

 

  

  

  

 

(d)           If the Grantee’s Cessation of Employment is due to any reason other than those stated in Sections 10.1(c), 10.1(e) and 10.1(f) herein, such Options (to the extent vested at the Date of Cessation) shall be exercisable at any time until 180 days after the Date of Cessation, and shall thereafter terminate; provided, however, that if the Grantee dies within such period, such Options (to the extent vested at the Date of Cessation) shall be exercisable by the Grantee's legal representative, estate or other person to whom the Grantee's rights are transferred by will or by laws of descent or distribution at any time until 180 days from the Date of Cessation, and shall thereafter terminate.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding the aforesaid, if the Grantee’s Cessation of Employment is due to (i) breach of the Grantee’s duty of loyalty towards the Company, or (ii) breach of the Grantee’s duty of care towards the Company, or (iii) the commission any flagrant criminal offense by the Grantee, or (iv) the commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty towards the Company by the Grantee, or (v) any unauthorized use or disclosure by the Grantee of confidential information or trade secrets of the Company, or (vi) any other intentional misconduct by the Grantee (by act or omission) adversely affecting the business or affairs of the Company in a material manner, or (vii) any act or omission by the Grantee which would allow for the termination of the Grantee’s employment without severance pay, according to the Severance Pay Law, 1963, all the Options whether vested or not shall ipso facto expire immediately and be of no legal effect.

 

(f)            If a Grantee retires, he shall, subject to the approval of the Committee, continue to enjoy such rights, if any, under the Plan and on such terms and conditions, with such limitations and subject to such requirements as the Committee in its discretion may determine.

 

(g)           Whether the Cessation of Employment of a particular Grantee is by reason of “Disability” for the purposes of paragraph 10.1(c) hereof or by virtue of “retirement” for purposes of paragraph 10.1(f) hereof, or is a termination of employment other than by reason of such Disability or retirement, or is for reasons as set forth in paragraph 10.1(e) hereof, shall be finally and conclusively determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion.

 

(h)           Notwithstanding the aforesaid, under no circumstances shall any Option be exercisable after the specified expiration of the term of such Option.

 

  

  

  

 

10.2         Directors, Consultants and Contractors.  In the event that a Grantee, who is a director, consultant or contractor of the Company, ceases, for any reason, to serve as such, the provisions of Sections 10.1(b), 10.1(c), 10.1(d), 10.1(e), 10.1(g) and 10.2(h) above shall apply, mutatis mutandis. For the purposes of this Section 10.2, “Date of Cessation” shall mean:

 

(a)           with respect to directors - the date on which a director submits notice of resignation from the Board or the date on which the shareholders of the Company remove such director from the Board; and

 

(b)           with respect to consultants and contractors - the date on which the consulting or contractor agreement between such consultant or contractor, as applicable, and the Company expires or the date on which either of the parties to such agreement sends the other notice of its intention to terminate said agreement.

 

10.3         Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10, the Committee shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time an Option is granted or thereafter, to:

 

(a)           extend the period of time for which the Option is to remain exercisable following the Date of Cessation to such greater period of time as the Committee shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the specified expiration of the term of the Option;

 

(b)           permit the Option to be exercised, during the applicable exercise period following the Date of Cessation, not only with respect to the number of Shares for which such Option is exercisable at the Date of Cessation but also with respect to one or more additional installments in which the Grantee would have vested under the Option had the Grantee continued in the employ or service of the Company.

 

11.           Adjustments, Liquidation and Corporate Transaction:

 

11.1         Definitions:

 

“Merger” means a merger or consolidation or a similar business combination, in which securities possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities are transferred to a person or persons different from the persons holding those securities immediately prior to such transaction.

 

“Sale of All of the Company’s Assets” means the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

 

                                “Corporate Transaction” means a Merger or a Sale of All of the Company’s Assets.

 

  

  

  

 

11.2         Adjustments.  Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of Shares subject to each outstanding Option, and the number of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well as the price per share of Shares subject to each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Shares or the payment of a stock dividend (bonus shares) with respect to the Shares or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration."  Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.  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.

 

11.3         Liquidation.  Unless otherwise provided by the Board, in the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all outstanding Options will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. In such case, the Committee may declare that any Option shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Committee and give each Grantee the right to exercise his Option, including any Option which would not otherwise be exercisable.

 

11.4         Corporate Transaction.

 

(a)           Immediately following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, all outstanding Options shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the Successor Entity.

 

             (b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have full authority and sole discretion to determine that any of the provisions of Sections 11.4(a)(i), or 11.4(a)(ii) above shall apply in the event of a Corporate Transaction in which the consideration received by the shareholders of the Company is not solely comprised of securities of the Successor Entity, or in which such consideration is solely cash or assets other than securities of the Successor Entity.

 

11.5         Sale.  In the event that all or substantially all of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company is to be sold (the “Sale”), each Grantee shall be obligated to participate in the Sale and sell his or her Shares and/or Options in the Company, provided, however, that each such Share or Option shall be sold at a price equal to that of any other Share sold under the Sale (minus the applicable exercise price), while accounting for changes in such price due to the respective terms of any such Option, and subject to the absolute discretion of the Board.

 

  

  

  

 

11.6         The grant of Options under the Plan shall in no way affect the right of the Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

 

12.           Limitations on Transfer: No Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Grantee to whom granted otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and an Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Grantee only by such Grantee or by such Grantee's guardian or legal representative.  The terms of such Option shall be binding upon the beneficiaries, executors, administrators, heirs and successors of such Grantee.

 

13.           Term and Amendment of the Plan:

 

13.1         The Plan was adopted by the Board on ______ __, 2003. The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year period measured from the date the Plan was adopted by the Board, or (ii) the termination of all outstanding Options in connection with a Corporate Transaction.  All Options outstanding at the time of a clause (i) termination event shall continue to have full force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the documents evidencing such Options.

It is agreed that in the event that the Lessor is late in paying the Lessor’s share amount, or any portion thereof, for a period of up to 15 additional days (following the 45-day period stipulated above), such delay shall not be considered a breach of this agreement.

Furthermore, the addition of floors (stories) and/or portions of floors to and/or enlargement of the areas permitted for use of the structure and/or a change in the permitted designation of areas in the structure shall not be regarded as a breach of the Lessor’s undertakings as stated, provided that these do not constitute an impediment to the reasonable use of the property by the Lessee or its rights in accordance with this agreement.

8.

	
Purpose of Lease

 

	
  

	
8.1

	
Without derogating from the above, the purpose of the lease is the management of dealings by a company that supplies communications solutions that include, inter alia, hardware manufactured and/or assembled by the Lessee at the property, as long as this does not create a nuisance for the building’s other tenants, and as long as the usage thereof does not deviate from the structure’s building permit.

 

	
  

	
It is the Lessee’s responsibility to obtain all licenses required for conducting its dealings at the property and placement of signs, if required. Failure to obtain these shall not constitute grounds for shortening the lease or withholding or reducing rental fee, even in the event that the business is closed as a result of such lack of license. The Lessor shall assist the Lessee in a reasonable manner, at the Lessee’s expense and whenever the Lessor is requested to do so by the Lessee, in obtaining the said licenses and/or permits required, provided that this does not result in imposition of any obligation, liability and/or expense whatsoever on the Lessor. The Lessee warrants that it is aware that operating the property in contravention of the lease’s purpose or without authorizations and/or permits required is liable to cause the Lessor extremely severe damages, including breach of the lease agreements with other tenants in the structure, and therefore, the Lessor shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy, to obtain injunctions against any such improper operation of the property.

 

  

7

  

 

	
  

	
8.2

	
Nothing stated in this agreement shall be regarded as permission by the Lessor to the Lessee to use the property and/or conduct its dealings without a permit and/or while deviating therefrom.

 

	
  

	
8.3

	
To remove any doubt, and without derogating from what is stated, it is hereby agreed between the parties, that liability for conducting the Lessee’s dealings that contravene a lawful permit rests solely with the Lessee. It is also agreed that the Lessor shall not reach a settlement with any third party whatsoever regarding payments owed by the Lessee to said third party without the Lessee’s consent.

 

	
  

	
8.4

	
Inasmuch as the area of the property also includes protected spaces on each floor or area (hereinafter: “protected floor space”), the Lessee warrants and affirms that it is clearly aware that the protected floor space is intended to serve as a protected floor space and/or shelter, and it is forbidden to use it for any other purpose apart from taking shelter therein in case of attack, unless pursuant to a license from the competent authorities per any law, including the provisions of the Civil Defense Act – 1951.

 

	
  

	
The Lessee warrants and affirms that responsibility for obtaining the licenses required by any law for the purpose of its use of the protected floor space pursuant to this agreement rests exclusively with the Lessee, and the Lessee shall file no grievance with and/or demand and/or claim from the Lessor in this matter.

 

	
  

	
It is hereby clarified that right of usage of the protected floor space is subject to the instructions of the Home Front Command and the provisions of any law. Without derogating from the generality of the above, the Lessee undertakes to maintain the protected floor space and use it in accordance with the provisions of any law, the instructions of the Home Front Command and the instructions of the management company deriving from the provisions of any law.

 

	
  

	
Notwithstanding the above and what is stated hereunder, it is hereby agreed that the Lessee shall be entitled to return the protected floor space at any time via written notice to the Lessor thirty days in advance, and in such a case, lease of the protected floor space by the Lessee shall be terminated at the end of the calendar month following the month in which the notice was served.

 

	
  

	
In times of emergency, the Lessee undertakes to vacate the protected floor space at once and make it available to the public. To remove any doubt, it is clarified that also throughout the entire period in which the protected floor space is at the public’s disposal, the Lessee will continue to make all payments stipulated in this agreement and the management agreement pertaining to the protected floor space. The lessee shall not be entitled to any compensation or payment, and it waves all claims in connection therewith.

 

  

8

  

 

	
  

	
The Lessee shall be entitled to lock the protected floor space at its discretion, and provided that in such a case, it leaves a key with the management company. This key will allow entrance to the protected floor space during emergencies or for the purpose of conducting an inspection, following coordination in advance.

 

	
  

	
Should there be other protected floor spaces outside the property area (in addition the protected floor space leased to the Lessee as part of the property pursuant to this agreement), the Lessee warrants that it is aware that the Lessor is entitled, at its sole discretion, to grant rights therein to third parties, and as a result the Lessee shall raise no grievance with and/or file a claim against the Lessor.

 

	
9.

	
The Lease Period

 

	
  

	
9.1

	
Subject to fulfillment by the Lessee of all its obligations pursuant to this agreement, the Lessor hereby leases to the Lessee and the Lessee hereby leases the property from the Lessor for a period beginning on January 1st, 2013 (the: “commencement date of the lease”), until its conclusion on 31 December 2016 (hereinafter: “the basic lease period”).

 

	
  

	
9.2

	
Subject to fulfillment by the Lessee of all its obligations pursuant to this agreement, in their entirety and on time, the basic lease period shall be automatically extended for an additional subsequent lease period of twenty-four (24) months (hereinafter: “the extended period”).

 

	
  

	
The Lessee shall be entitled to notify the Lessor of its desire not to extend the basic lease period for the extended period, via registered letter to be delivered to the Lessor at least 4 months prior to conclusion of the basic lease period.

 

	
  

	
It is explicitly clarified herewith, that in the event that the Lessee notifies the Lessor up to 4 months prior to the last date of the basic lease period regarding non-extension of the agreement period for the extended period, as required in this sub-clause above, the option shall be null and void, and the Lessee shall not be entitled to utilize the extended period and continue leasing the property, including in the event that, for any reason whatsoever, the Lessee also continues to hold the property following conclusion of the basic lease period. In such a case, wherein the Lessee continues to hold the property even beyond conclusion of the basic lease period, despite having advised that it does not wish to exercise the option to extend the lease period, the Lessee must vacate the property immediately upon demand by the Lessor, except in the event that the parties reach another agreement in writing.

 

	
  

	
9.3

	
Notwithstanding the above, it is hereby agreed between the parties that the Lessee may also exercise the option available thereto pursuant to Clause 9.2 above regarding a portion of the property area by providing written notice to the Lessor four (4) months in advance, of its desire to reduce the property area during the extended period, provided that the area that the Lessee returns to the Lessor can serve for lease as an independent and integral unit that includes an independent kitchenette, separate restrooms and separate entrance, and which complies with rules to be determined by a safety consultant on the Lessor’s behalf.

 

  

9

  

 

	
  

	
9.4

	
During the extended period the rental fee shall be updated per Clause 10 below.

 

	
  

	
Subject to the above, all terms and conditions stated in this agreement shall also apply to the Lessee during the extended period. In this agreement, the basic lease period as well as the extended period shall be given the abbreviated term “the lease period.”

 

	
  

	
9.5

	
Subject to the Lessor’s right to evict the Lessee from the property as specified in this agreement, the Lessee shall not be entitled to terminate the lease and/or vacate the property and/or stop using it prior to the conclusion of the lease period. In the event and in spite of the above, the Lessee vacates the property prior to the conclusion of the said lease term, or stops using the property, the Lessee will nevertheless be liable for all its debts and payments regarding the entire property area until conclusion of the lease period.

 

	
  

	
9.6

	
Notwithstanding the above, since the Lessee is a public company, this agreement is thus subject to receipt of the appropriate authorizations in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law – 1999 (hereinafter: “Companies Law”). Therefore, it is hereby agreed between the parties that only and exclusively in the event that the Lessee is unsuccessful in obtaining the authorizations required thereof pursuant to the Companies Law for the purpose of implementing the agreement by 30 Apr 2013, it shall be entitled to terminate the lease prior to the conclusion of the lease period, subject to advance and written notice of 30 days, and in such a case the lease shall be terminated no later than 31 May 2013 (hereinafter: “the early termination date”).

 

	
  

	
9.7

	
It is also hereby agreed between the parties that in the event that the Lessee terminates the lease period on the early termination date in accordance with Clause 9.6 above and inasmuch as adaptation works at the property were performed by the Lessee up to the early termination date, with monetary participation by the Lessor as specified in Clause 5A above, the Lessee shall refund to the Lessor all amounts paid thereby as sharing in the performance of the works, plus linkage differentials and interest, from the date of payment thereof by the Lessor until the date on which they are refunded, and this within 30 days from the early termination date.

 

	
  

	
To remove any doubt, it is hereby clarified that nothing in the provisions of this clause shall be construed as derogating from the Lessee’s obligations pertaining to evacuation of the property and its return to the Lessor pursuant to the provisions of Clause 22 below.

 

  

10

  

 

	
10.

	
Rental

 

	
  

	
10.1

	
During the basic lease period the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor for the property a monthly rental fee of $15 (fifteen US dollars) per sq. m. (gross) of office space in the property, as stipulated in Clause 2 above, plus an amount of $9 (nine US dollars) per sq. m. (gross) of protected floor space in the property, as stipulated in Clause 2 above, as well as $108 (one hundred eight US dollars) for right of use of each of the parking spaces in the property (except parking spaces exempt from payment of rent), as stipulated in Clause 7 above (together hereinafter: “the basic rental fee”).

If the lessee breaches and/or fails to fulfill punctually any of the terms and conditions and/or undertakings pursuant to the fundamental clauses.

The Lessee commits a breach of the agreement that is not a fundamental breach and fails to rectify it within 30 days from the date it was required to do so.

If a receiver and/or liquidator (including temporary ones) is appointed for the Lessee and/or its assets, wholly or partially, and/or its business and/or if it is declared bankrupt and/or a motion for injunction was filed against it pursuant to Section 350 of the Companies Law – 1999 or for seizure of a material portion of its assets, as the case may be.

 

	
  

	
In each of the instances above, the provisions of Clause 22 hereunder shall apply.

Vacating the Property

 

	
  

	
22.1

	
The Lessee hereby undertakes to vacate the property at the conclusion of the lease period or upon lawful revocation of this agreement, for any reason, whichever is earlier, as the case may be, and to restore the property to the exclusive possession of the Lessor or to whomever the Lessor shall designate. The property shall be clean, orderly, repainted in a “Supercryl” color (in the shade in which the Lessee received the property), free of all persons, effects and systems therein, and in good and proper condition, except for reasonable wear and tear. Notwithstanding the above, in regard to facilities and systems that were installed in the property, these facilities shall be left behind in the property by the Lessee, as specified in Sub-Clause 22.2 hereafter. All works involved in implementation of the above shall be performed prior to the conclusion of the lease period or revocation thereof pursuant to this agreement, and in accordance with instructions from an engineer on the Lessor’s behalf, and in any event, without harming the structure and/or systems therein and/or regular activity by the building’s tenants. It is agreed that disconnection of the Lessee’s servers from the property shall be effected via advance coordination with the Lessor’s IT staff, subject to all their instructions, and in any event, cables shall not be cut, so that disconnecting the servers does not cause any damage to the property and/or wiring in the property.

 

  

35

  

 

	
  

	
22.2

	
Unless agreed otherwise in writing between the parties, it is hereby agreed that all the modifications and/or adjustments and/or renovations and/or facilities and/or systems and/or annexes that are not mobile facilities that shall be performed and/or installed in the property by the Lessee and/or Lessor, and all other hookups to the property (hereinafter: “the facilities”) shall revert to the sole disposal and ownership of the Lessor upon conclusion of the lease period or agreement, including with substitute lessees. The Lessee undertakes not to mortgage or confer to a third party any right whatsoever in the stated facilities and systems. The Lessee hereby waives any grievance in connection with the above. Nothing in the above shall be construed as derogating from the Lessor’s right to demand from the Lessee evacuation, clearance, removal or performance of any action whatsoever in order to restore the property’s condition as it was on the delivery date, and the full cost of the works involved therein shall apply to the Lessee. To remove doubt, it is clarified that none of the above shall be construed as allowing the Lessee to effect any modification whatsoever that is contrary to the provisions of this agreement.

 

	
  

	
22.3

	
In addition, and without derogating from the remedies and redress granted to the Lessor pursuant to the provisions of this agreement and/or provisions of law, the Lessee hereby undertakes that if it does not vacate the property and does not deliver it to the Lessor as required in Sub-Clause 22.1 above, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor a usage fee agreed upon and calculated in advance, in a shekel amount equal to the product of the daily rental fee multiplied by 2, for every day of delay, without any need to prove damages. This amount shall be linked to the index from the basic index until the index prevailing at the time of actual evacuation. The parties agree that this amount constitutes agreed and fair compensation to the Lessor over any other remedy and/or a higher rate of compensation, including compensation that the Lessor shall be charged with, if any, vis-à-vis any substitute lessee. Moreover, in the event that the property is not vacated, the Lessee shall bear all applicable legal expenses for its removal from the property and for collection of the amounts due to the Lessor in connection with failure to vacate, including, but not limited to, fees for expert opinions and attorney fees, including interest and linkage differentials deriving from these expenses. Without derogating from the above, it is clarified that until the property is cleared of all the effects and facilities that the Lessee is required to remove and the property is delivered to the Lessor, as required in Sub-Clause 22.1 above, including in the event that negotiations are conducted between the parties regarding extension of the lease period and/or amendment of any terms and conditions of the lease agreement, the Lessee, in addition to any other remedy, shall be liable for all the undertakings and payments applicable thereto pursuant to this agreement during the lease period, including, but not limited to, rental fee (at the higher amount between the basic rental fee and the adjusted rental fee), municipal taxes (“arnona”), management fee, electricity et al. It is clarified that nothing in the above shall be construed as constituting confirmation of any kind to the Lessee, even if implied, not to vacate the property on the conclusion date of the lease period as specified in Clause 22.1 above.

 

  

36

  

 

	
  

	
22.4

	
In the event that the Lessee does not remove the movable effects and/or facilities that it is required to remove, or any portion thereof as stipulated, the Lessor shall have the right and option to disassemble, remove or store them, all at the Lessee’s expense and responsibility or, alternatively, to take possession thereof with no obligation to pay indemnification and/or compensation and/or a refund and/or any other payment, and the Lessee waives any grievance in connection therewith. Without derogating from what is stated anywhere else, in the event that the agreement is concluded due to a breach thereof by the Lessee and/or if the Lessee continues to owe any monies whatsoever that it was obligated to pay on the strength of this agreement, including – but not limited to – municipal tax, electricity and rental fee, in any event the Lessor shall have right of lien in the facilities. If the Lessor demands removal of the effects and/or facilities and all or some of them have not been removed, then, for the purpose of paying appropriate usage fee as stipulated in Clause 22.3 above, the Lessee shall be regarded as having failed to vacate the property inasmuch as the Lessee does not dismantle and remove all effects and facilities from the property or restore the property to its condition as it was on the delivery date.

 

	
23.

	
Collateral

 

	
  

	
23.1

	
In the event that the joint rate for the holdings of Yehuda Zisapel and Zohar Zisapel, directly or indirectly, drops below 25% of the Lessee’s total allotted shares, which serve as collateral for fulfillment of all the Lessee’s undertakings pursuant to this agreement, in full or in part, the Lessee shall, immediately upon such change in the holdings rate, deposit with the Lessor an autonomous, unconditional and seizure-exempt bank guarantee, in full or in installments, at any time and without justification, for an amount in shekels equal to six (6) months’ rent, including rental fees, management fees and VAT, at their rate pursuant to this agreement on the issue date of the bank guarantee (hereinafter: “the guarantee” or “the collateral”).

23.2.1

23.2.2

	
In the event that any payment owed by the Lessee pursuant to this agreement or the management agreement is not effected, the Lessor shall be entitled to utilize the collateral in the amount of the payment due, plus linkage differentials, fines, interest for delay and any other expenses paid by the Lessor.

23.3

	
Provision of the collateral pursuant to this clause, and/or utilization of any portion thereof shall not constitute a waiver by the Lessor and/or management company of their right to other remedies against the Lessee, whether the remedies are explicit in the body of this agreement or management agreement, or the remedies available to the Lessor are on the strength of any law, and shall not limit the amount of compensation or damages that the management company and/or Lessor shall be entitled to claim and/or collect from the Lessee.

 

	
24.

In such cases, as well as any case in which the Lessee terminates its activity at the property or abandons the property, the Lessor shall be entitled and permitted to prevent the Lessee or any of its associates and/or anyone on its behalf from entering the property and making use thereof or any part thereof. Furthermore, the Lessor shall be entitled and permitted, inter alia, to use reasonable force, replace the lock at the property, disconnect and/or order disconnection of the electricity, water, telephones, gas, air conditioning and any other utility or service, and to prevent from the Lessee access and entry to the property, including the building.
