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

9


  subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 11 below. Any Shares which remain un-issued and which are not subject to then outstanding Options at the termination or expiration of this ESOP shall cease to be reserved for the purpose of this ESOP, but may continue to be reserved for other share option plans then in effect, and in any event, until termination of this ESOP the Company shall at all times reserve sufficient number of Shares to meet the requirements of any then outstanding Options. Should any Option for any reason expire or be canceled prior to its exercise or relinquishment in full, the Shares subject to such Option may again be subjected to a new Option under this ESOP or under the Company’s other share option plans, provided, however, that Shares that have actually been issued under this ESOP shall not be returned to the pool under this ESOP and shall not become available for future distribution under this ESOP.

 

  7.2

The Company, at its sole discretion, may require that, until the consummation of an IPO or any earlier date determined by the Company, any Shares issued upon exercise of Options (and securities of the Company issued with respect thereto) shall be voted by an irrevocable proxy (the “Proxy”), in the form attached to each Grant Letter, pursuant to the directors of the board, such Proxy to be assigned to the person(s) designated by the Board (the “Proxy Holder”) and to provide for the power of such Proxy Holder to act, instead of the Optionee and on its behalf, with respect to any and all aspects of the Optionee’s shareholdings in the Company. The Proxy Holder shall vote the Shares and/or execute any written instruments relating to the Shares in the same manner as the votes of the majority of the shareholders of the Company present and voting at the applicable meeting. The Proxy may be contained in the individual Optionee’s Grant Letter or otherwise as the Committee determines. If contained in the Grant Letter, no further document shall be required to implement such Proxy, and the signature of the Optionee on the Grant Letter shall indicate approval of the Proxy thereby granted. The Proxy Holder shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company and the Optionees against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) reasonably incurred by him/her, or any liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Company) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the voting of such Proxy unless arising out of the Proxy Holder’s own fraud or bad faith, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Such indemnification shall be in addition to any rights of indemnification the Proxy Holder may have as a director or otherwise under the Articles of Association, any agreement, any vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, insurance policy or otherwise. Without derogating from the above, with respect to Shares issuable upon exercise of Approved 102 Options, such Shares shall be voted in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 and of any rules, regulations or orders promulgated thereunder.

The total consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator and may consist entirely of (1) cash, (2) check, or (3) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

Shares issued upon exercise of an Option (excluding Shares underlying an Approved 102 Option, which Shares shall be issued in the name of the Trustee) shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 11 below.

 

  9.5

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

 

  9.6

An Option may not be exercised for fractional shares.

 

  9.7

Subject to the provisions of Section 9.9 below, in the event of termination of Optionee’s employment or services, with the Company or any of its Affiliates, all Options granted to such Optionee that are at the time of termination non-vested will immediately expire. A notice of termination of employment or service shall be deemed to constitute termination of employment or service. For the avoidance of doubt, in case of such termination of employment or service, the unvested portion of the Optionee’s Option shall not vest and shall not become exercisable and any unvested portion of the Optionee’s Option shall revert to the pool of Shares under this ESOP or that of other share option plans then in effect.

 

11


  9.8

Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to the provisions of section 102 of the Ordinance and the tax regulations thereto, if an Optionee ceases to be an Employee or a Consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, but continues to provide services to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, such Optionee will be deemed to have continuously remained a Consultant of the Company during such term, and his Options shall vest pursuant to their original terms.

 

  9.9

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and unless otherwise determined in the Optionee’s Grant Letter, an Option may be exercised after the date of termination of Optionee’s employment or service with the Company or any Affiliates during an additional period of time beyond the date of such termination, but only with respect to the number of Vested Options at the time of such termination according to the Vesting Dates, as follows:

 

  (i)

If termination is without Cause, then any Vested Option still in force and un-expired may be exercised within a period of three (3) months after the date of such termination;

 

  (ii)

If termination is the result of death, or Disability (defined below) of the Optionee, then any Vested Option still in force and un-expired may be exercised within a period of twelve (12) months after the date of such termination;

 

  (iii)

With respect to (i) and (ii) above, prior to the expiration of the periods set out therein (i.e., the 3-month period in (i) above, and the 12-month period in (ii) above), the Committee may authorize an extension of the terms of exercise post-termination of all or part of the Vested Options beyond the date of such termination for a period not to exceed the period during which the Options by their terms would otherwise have been exercisable.

 

  (iv)

For avoidance of any doubt, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if termination of employment or service is for Cause: (a) any outstanding unexercised Option (whether vested or non-vested), will immediately expire and terminate, and the Optionee shall not have any right in connection to such outstanding Options; and (b) all Shares issued upon exercise of Options prior to the date of termination of employment or service for Cause shall be subject to repurchase against payment at their nominal value by the Repurchaser(s) (as defined in Section 12.3 below) of the total Purchase Price paid by such Optionee to the Company, provided however that in no case shall the Company provide financial assistance to any other party to purchase the Shares if doing so is prohibited by law. If the Repurchaser(s) exercise the right of repurchase of such Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3(a) below, and the Optionee (whose employment or engagement with the Company was terminated for Cause), fails to transfer his/her Shares as aforesaid, the Company, at the decision of the Board, shall be entitled to forfeit such Optionee’s Shares and to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Optionee any instrument or document necessary to effect such transfer and to make the appropriate inscription in the Company’s records. Each Optionee, upon executing a Grant Letter, shall be deemed to have authorized and granted the Company and each of its officers an irrevocable power of attorney to execute in his/her behalf such instruments and documents that are necessary to give full effect to the repurchase provisions set forth herein. In this respect, each of the Company and its shareholders shall be deemed to be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph (iv) with rights to enforce the same against the Optionees.

 

  (v)

As used herein: the term “Disability” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the individual employment or engagement agreement between the Optionee and the Company or any of its Affiliates, as applicable and if no such definition exists, then “Disability” shall mean Optionee’s inability to perform his/her duties to the Company, or to any of its Affiliates, for a consecutive period of at least 180 days, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment.

 

12


  (vi)

If an Optionee should retire, he may, subject to the approval of the Administrator, 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 sole discretion may determine at the time of such retirement or at any time theretofore

 

  9.10

To avoid doubt, the Optionees shall not be deemed owners of the Shares issuable upon the exercise of Options and shall not have any of the rights or privileges of shareholders of the Company in respect of any Shares purchasable upon the exercise of any Option, nor shall they be deemed to be a class of shareholders of the Company for any purpose, including but not limited for the purpose of the operation of Sections 350 and 351 of the Companies Law or any successor to such section, until registration of the Optionee as holder of such Shares in the Company’s register of shareholders upon exercise of the Option in accordance with the provisions of this ESOP, but in case of Options and Shares held by the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6 above. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Optionees be deemed a class of creditors of the Company for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to for the purpose of the operation of Sections 350 and 351 of the Companies Law or any successor to such section.

 

  9.11

The form of Grant Letter customarily used by the Company in connection with the grant of Options, provided it is consistent with the provisions of this ESOP, may contain such other provisions, as the Committee or the Board may, from time to time, deem advisable.

 

  9.12

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

 

  9.13

With respect to Unapproved 102 Options, if the Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or any Affiliate, the Optionee shall extend to the Company and/or its Affiliate a security or guarantee for the payment of tax due at the time of sale of Shares, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102. In respect of any employer’s tax liability for the purpose of employment taxes such as in the case of social taxes, see Section 22 below.

 

  9.14

Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option, the method of payment and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with applicable laws and this ESOP.

 

  9.15

Upon their issuance, the Shares shall carry equal voting rights on all matters where such vote is permitted by applicable laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company, provided however, that the Company, at its sole discretion, may require that, until the consummation of an IPO any Shares issued upon exercise of Options (and securities of the Company issued with respect thereto) shall be voted by an irrevocable Proxy to be given to the Proxy Holder in the same manner as the votes of the majority of the other shareholders of the Company present and voting at the applicable meeting, such Proxy to be assigned to the Proxy Holder and provide for the power of the Proxy Holder to act, instead of the Optionee and on its behalf, with respect to any and all aspects of the Optionee’s shareholdings in the Company, as set forth in Section 7.2 above.

 

  9.16

It is hereby clarified that the Company shall have no liability to an Optionee, or to any other party, if an Option (or any part thereof), which is intended to be a 102 Option, does not eventually qualify as a 102 Option.

 

13


  10.

VESTING OF OPTIONS; REVERSE VESTING

 

  10.1

Subject to the provisions of this ESOP, each Option shall vest and become exercisable commencing on the Vesting Date thereof, as determined by the Board or by the Committee, for the number of Shares as shall be provided in the Grant Letter. However, no Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date.

 

  10.2

An Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised, as the Committee may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary.

 

  11.

ADJUSTMENTS

 

  11.1

Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option, the number of Shares which have been reserved for issuance under this ESOP and/or any other share option plan adopted by the Company, but as to which no Options have yet been granted or which have been returned to this ESOP or such other share option plans upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well as the Purchase Price per share of Shares covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease resulting from a share split, bonus shares (share dividend), combination or reclassification of the Shares, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. The adjustments described herein shall be made by the Administrator, 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 the price of Shares subject to an Option. If the Options or the Shares issued upon the exercise of such Options will be deposited with a Trustee, as determined by the Administrator, all of the Shares formed by these adjustments also will be deposited with the Trustee on the same terms and conditions as the original Options or Shares.

 

  11.2

Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of any dissolution or liquidation of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (the “Event”), the Administrator shall notify each Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such Event. The Option holders shall then have fifteen (15) days to exercise any unexercised Vested Options held by them at that time, in accordance with the exercise procedure set forth herein. Upon the expiration of such 15-day period, all remaining unexercised Options and any non Vested Options will terminate immediately. The Administrator in its sole discretion may allow the exercise of any or all-outstanding Options, whether or not such Options are Vested Options, during a longer period following such notification and prior to the Event, all subject to the provisions of applicable laws. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Option and all Optionee’s rights thereto will terminate immediately prior to the Event.

 

  11.3

Transaction.

 

  (a)

In the event of a Transaction, and to the extent possible by the terms of the Transaction, each outstanding Option shall be assumed for an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number of options in order to reflect such an action and to keep the Optionee harmless due to the Transaction.

 

  (b)

In the event that as part of the Transaction the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute outstanding Options, the vesting periods defined in the Grant Letters may be fully accelerated, in whole or in part, if so determined by the Board. In this event, the Administrator shall notify each Optionee in writing or electronically if and to what extent the Board has approved the acceleration of an Option, and as to each Option

 

14


  that has been accelerated, the period of time during which the Vested Option may be exercised by the Optionee. The determination as to acceleration of any then un-Vested Options and the duration during which any Vested Options may be exercised in connection with a Transaction shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board. Subject to the following paragraph of this Section 11.3(b), any Vested Options shall be fully exercisable for such period as determined by the Board, where any un-Vested or Vested but un-exercised Options shall terminate upon the expiration of such period.

In any event, any Vested Option not exercised by the date determined by the Board above (the “Cut-Off Date”), and any un-Vested Options on such Cut-Off Date, shall immediately terminate and no longer be exercisable by the Optionee as of the Cut-Off Date.

 

  (c)

Without derogating from the provisions of paragraph (b) above, if as a condition precedent to a Transaction, all Optionees are required to sell or exchange their Vested Options and/or any Shares issued upon exercise thereof as part of the Transaction, then each Optionee shall be obligated to sell or exchange, as the case may be, any Vested Options and/or Shares such Optionee holds or purchased under this ESOP, in accordance with the instructions of the Board, at its sole and absolute discretion, in connection with the Transaction, and on the same terms as shall be determined to all the holders of Ordinary Shares in the Company. For avoidance of doubt, on the Cut-Off Date, any Vested Options not sold or exchanged and any non-Vested Options shall terminate and expire as of the Cut-Off Date.

 

  (d)

For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option shall be considered assumed if, following a Transaction, the Optionee receives the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Option immediately prior to the Transaction, the consideration (whether in shares, stocks, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Transaction by holders of Shares for each Share held on the effective date of the Transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Transaction is not solely shares of the successor corporation or its parent or subsidiary, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for each Optionee to receive solely Shares of the successor company or its parent or subsidiary equal in Fair Market Value to the per share consideration received by holders of Shares in the Transaction.

 

  11.4

No changes will be made to the terms of the Options upon the consummation of a Transaction, except as the Board determines to be necessary or desired to effect such Transaction.

 

  11.5

Stock Dividend, Bonus Shares, Stock Split.

 

  (a)

If the outstanding shares of the Company shall at any time be changed or exchanged by declaration of a share dividend (bonus shares), share split, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization, or any other like event by or of the Company, and as often as the same shall occur, then the number, class and kind of the Shares subject to this ESOP or subject to any Options therefore granted, and the Purchase Prices, shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted so as to maintain the proportionate number of Shares without changing the aggregate Purchase Price, provided, however, that the Purchase Price shall not be less than the nominal value of the Share underlying any such Options, and provided further, that no adjustment shall be made by reason of the distribution of subscription rights (rights offering) on outstanding shares. Upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing, the class and aggregate number of Shares issuable pursuant to this ESOP (as set forth in Section 7

 

15


  hereof), in respect of which Options have not yet been exercised, shall be appropriately adjusted, all as will be determined by the Board whose determination shall be final.

 

  (b)

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.

 

  (c)

With respect to any cash dividends distributable by the Company, should the determination date for such cash dividends be prior to the exercise date of any outstanding Option, including with respect to any then un-Vested Options, then the Purchase Price of all then outstanding Options shall be adjusted and reduced so as to reflect the net amount paid by the Company as a cash dividend on account of its Ordinary Shares, with respect to each Share underlying an Option.

 

  12.

SHARES SUBJECT TO RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND BRING ALONG

All Shares subject to outstanding Options, whether exercised or not, shall be subject to the restrictions and limitations contained in the Articles of Association.

 

  12.1

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Articles of Association none of the Optionees shall have a right of first refusal in relation with any Sale (as hereinafter defined) of shares in the Company.

 

  12.2

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the Board, until such time as the Company shall complete an IPO, an Optionee shall not have the right to effect a Sale of Shares issued upon the exercise of an Option within six (6) months and one day of the date of the later of the exercise of such Option or issuance of such Shares (if such an issuance is not made immediately upon exercise).

 

  12.3

Sale, transfer, assignment or other disposal (collectively, “Sale”) of Shares issuable upon the exercise of an Option or which are otherwise issued pursuant to this ESOP shall be subject to the right of first refusal of other shareholders of the Company, as set forth in the Articles of Association or in any agreement among the Company and all or substantially all of its shareholders. In the event that neither the Articles of Association nor any such agreement shall provide for applicable rights of first refusal, then, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the Board, until such time as the Company shall complete an IPO, the Sale by an Optionee of Shares issuable upon the exercise of an Option shall be subject to a right of first refusal on the part of the Repurchaser(s), as follows:

 

  (a)

“Repurchaser(s)” means: (i) the Company, if permitted by applicable law, (ii) if the Company is not permitted by applicable law, then any Affiliate of the Company designated by the Committee and to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (iii) if no decision is reached by the Committee or if an Affiliate is not permitted to be a Repurchaser according to applicable law, then the Company’s existing shareholders (save, for avoidance of doubt, for other Optionees who already exercised their Options), pro rata in accordance with their respective shareholdings in the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital.

 

  (b)

The Optionee shall give a notice of sale (hereinafter the “Notice”) to the Company in order to offer the Shares to the Repurchaser(s). The Company will forward the Notice to the applicable Repurchaser(s).

 

  (c)

The Notice shall specify the name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (hereinafter the “Proposed Transferee”), the number of Shares offered for Sale, the price per Share and the payment terms. The Repurchaser(s) will be entitled to twenty-

 

16


  one (21) days from the day of receipt of the Notice (hereinafter the “Notice Period”), to purchase all or part of the offered Shares (if the Repurchaser(s) are shareholders of the Company, then such entitlement shall be on a pro rata basis, based on their respective holdings in the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital).

 

  (d)

If, by the end of the Notice Period, not all of the offered Shares have been purchased by the Repurchaser(s), the Optionee shall be entitled to Sell any remaining un-sold Shares, at any time during the ninety (90) days following the end of the Notice Period on terms not more favorable to the Proposed Transferee than those set out in the Notice, provided that the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this section shall continue to apply to the Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. Any Sale of Shares issued under this ESOP by the Optionee that is not made in accordance with this ESOP or the Grant Letter shall be null and void.

 

  (e)

If the consideration to be paid for the Shares is not cash, the value of the consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Board, and if the Company cannot for any reason pay for the Shares in the form of non-cash consideration, the Company may pay the cash equivalent thereof, as determined by the Board.

 

  12.4

Prior to an IPO, and in addition to the right of first refusal, any transfer of Shares by an Optionee shall require the approval of the Board as to the identity of the transferee and as may be required under the Articles of Association. The Board may refuse to approve the transfer of Shares by an Optionee to any other person or entity the Board determines, in its discretion, may be detrimental to the Company, including without limitation to a competitor of the Company.

 

  12.5

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Optionees shall be bound by the “bring along” provisions of the Articles of Association and/or any agreement among the Company and all or substantially all of its shareholders, as in effect from time to time, to the effect that if, prior to the completion of the IPO, shareholders holding a certain percentage of the Company’s share capital (as set forth in such agreement) (“Proposing Holders”), elect to sell all of their equity securities in the Company to a third party, or agree to merge or consolidate the Company with or into another entity, and such sale or merger is conditioned upon the sale of all remaining stock of the Company to such third party, or to the agreement of all of the shareholders, the Optionees shall be required, if so demanded by the Proposing Holders, to sell or transfer all of their equity securities in the Company to such third party as stipulated in the Articles of Association or such other shareholders agreement referred to herein. If no specific percentage of Proposing Holders is stipulated in the Articles of Association or such a shareholders agreement, then the percentage for the purposes of this Section 12.5 and for the purposes of Section 341 of the Companies Law shall be seventy percent (70%)

 

  12.6

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if prior to the completion of the IPO, a Transaction is consummated pursuant to which, all or substantially all of the shares of the Company are sold, or exchanged for securities of another Company, then each Optionee shall be obligated to sell or exchange, as the case may be, any Shares such Optionee purchased under this ESOP (in accordance with the value of the Optionee’s Shares pursuant to the terms of the Transaction), and perform any action and/or execute any document necessary or desired in order to effectuate such Transaction, all in accordance with the instructions issued by the Board in connection with the Transaction, whose determination shall be final.

 

  13.

PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT; LIMITATIONS UPON IPO; REPRESENTATIONS

 

  13.1

The Company’s obligation to issue or allocate Shares upon exercise of an Option granted under this ESOP is expressly conditioned upon: (a) the Company’s completion of any

 

17


  registration or other qualifications of such Shares under all applicable laws, rules and regulations or (b) representations and undertakings by the Optionee (or his legal representative, heir or legatee, in the event of the Optionee’s death) to assure that the sale of the Shares complies with any registration exemption requirements which the Company in its sole discretion shall deem necessary or advisable. Such required representations and undertakings may include representations and agreements that such Optionee (or his legal representative, heir, or legatee): (a) is purchasing such Shares for investment and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise disposing thereof; and (b) agrees to have placed upon the face and reverse of any certificates evidencing such Shares a legend setting forth (i) any representations and undertakings which such Optionee has given to the Company or a reference thereto and (ii) that, prior to effecting any sale or other disposition of any such Shares, the Optionee must furnish to the Company an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such sale or disposition will not violate the applicable laws, rules, and regulations, whether of the State of Israel or of any other State having jurisdiction over the Company and the Optionee.

 

  13.2

The Optionee acknowledges that in the event that the Company’s shares shall be registered for trading in any public market, Optionee’s rights to sell the Shares may be subject to certain limitations (including a lock-up period), as will be requested by the Company or its underwriters, and the Optionee unconditionally agrees and accepts any such limitations.

 

  13.3

If any Shares shall be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, no public offering otherwise than a national securities exchange (as defined in the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of any Shares shall be made by the Optionee (or any other person) under such circumstances that he or she (or such other person) may be deemed an underwriter, as defined in the United States Securities Act of 1933.

 

  13.4

Upon the grant of Options to an Optionee or the issuance of Shares upon the exercise thereof, or otherwise pursuant to this ESOP, the Company shall obtain from the Optionee the representations and undertakings as follows, and any other representations and warranties that the Committee may deem advisable, and the giving of such representations and warranties by the Optionee shall be a condition precedent to Optionee’s right to receive the Option and/or be issued the Shares upon exercise thereof:

 

  (a)

That the Optionee knows that there is no certainty that the exercise of the Options will be financially worthwhile. The Optionee thereby undertakes not to have any claim against the Company or any of its directors, employees, stockholders or advisors if it emerges, at the time of exercising the Options, that the Optionee’s investment in the Company‘s Shares was not worthwhile, for any reason whatsoever.

 

  (b)

That the Optionee knows and understands that his rights regarding the Options and the Shares are subject for all intents and purposes to the instructions of the Company’s documents of incorporation and to the agreements of the shareholders in the Company.

 

  (c)

That the Optionee knows that in addition to the allocations set forth above, the Company has allocated and/or is entitled to allocate Options and Shares to other employees and other people, and the Optionee shall have no claim regarding such allocations, their quantity, the relationship among them and between them and the other shareholders in the Company, exercising of the options or any matter related to or stemming from them.

 

  (d)

That the Optionee knows that neither this ESOP nor the grant of Option or Shares thereunder shall impose any obligation on the Company to continue the engagement of the Optionee, and nothing in this ESOP or in any Option or Shares granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Optionee any right to continue being engaged by the Company, or restrict the right of the Company to terminate such engagement at any time.

 

18


  14.

DIVIDENDS

With respect to all Shares (but excluding, for avoidance of any doubt, any unexercised Options) allocated or issued upon the exercise of Options purchased by the Optionee and held by the Optionee or by the Trustee, as the case may be, the Optionee shall be entitled to receive dividends in accordance with the quantity of such Shares, subject to the provisions of the Articles of Association and subject to any applicable taxation on distribution of dividends, and, when applicable, subject to the provisions of Section 102.

 

  15.

RESTRICTIONS ON ASSIGNABILITY AND SALE OF OPTIONS

Any such action made directly or indirectly, for an immediate validation or for a future one, shall be void.

Any tax consequences arising from the grant or exercise of any Option, from the payment for Shares covered thereby or from any other event or act (of the Company and/or its Affiliates, the Trustee or the Optionee), hereunder, shall be borne solely by the Optionee. The Company and/or its Affiliates and/or the Trustee shall withhold taxes according to the requirements of any applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including withholding taxes at source.

The Company shall have the right to deduct from all amounts paid to an Optionee in cash (whether under this Plan or otherwise) any taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of Options under this ESOP. In the case of any Option satisfied by the issuance of Shares, no Shares shall be issued unless and until arrangements satisfactory to the Committee shall have been made to satisfy any withholding tax obligations applicable with respect to such Option. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may impose, the Company shall have the right to retain, or the Committee may, subject to such terms and conditions as it may establish from time to time, permit Optionees to elect to tender, Shares to satisfy, in whole or in part, the amount required to be withheld.

 

  22.5

  22.7

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, only in the event that termination of employment not for Cause with the Company, where the Company is the initiator, the Company should bear the tax liability derived only for the purpose of employment taxes, such as in the case of social security taxes.

 

  23.

NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF THIS ESOP

The adoption of this ESOP by the Board shall not be construed as amending, modifying or rescinding any previously approved incentive arrangements or as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of options to purchase shares of the Company otherwise than under this ESOP, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

For the avoidance of doubt, prior grant of options to Employees and/or Non-Employees of the Company under their employment agreements or other engagement agreements, and not in the framework of any previous option plan, shall not be deemed an approved incentive arrangement for the purpose of this Section 23.

 

  24.
