Appendix B - Addendum

 

Terms of Options granted to United States
Employees and Service Providers

 

  1. Purpose of the Addendum

 

This Addendum (also referred to as the "Addendum") is part of the Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Option Plan of Alocbra Ltd. (the "Plan"). All terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan. This Addendum governs grants of Options to United States Employees and other Service Providers.

 

  2. Provisions of the Addendum

 

The provisions of the Addendum shall supersede and govern in the case of inconsistency between the provisions of the Addendum and the provisions of the Plan, provided, however, that this Addendum shall not be construed to grant to any Participant rights not consistent with the terms of the Plan, unless specifically provided herein.

 

  3. Eligibility

 

The individuals who shall be eligible to receive Option Grants under the Plan that are subject to the provisions of this Addendum shall be employees, directors and other individuals and entities who are United States citizens or who are resident aliens of the United States for United States federal tax purposes (collectively, “U.S. Persons”), and who render services to the management, operation or development of the Company or a Subsidiary and who have contributed or may be expected to contribute materially to the success of the Company or a Subsidiary. ISOs (as defined in Section 4 below) shall not be granted to any individual who is not an employee of a corporation for United States federal tax purposes. The term “Subsidiary” as used in this Addendum means a corporation or other business entity of which the Company owns, directly or indirectly through an unbroken chain of ownership, fifty percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock.

 

  4. Terms and Conditions of Options

 

Every Option granted to a U.S. Person shall be evidenced by a written stock option agreement (the "Stock Option Agreement") in such form as the Committee shall approve from time to time, specifying the number of Shares that may be purchased pursuant to the Option, the time or times at which the Option shall become exercisable in whole or in part, whether the Option is intended to be an incentive stock option (“ISO”) or a nonqualified stock option (“NSO”) and such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall approve, and containing or incorporating by reference the following terms and conditions. The Plan and this Addendum shall be administered in such a manner as to permit those Options granted hereunder and specially designated as an ISO to qualify as incentive stock options as described in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

  

(a)    Duration. Each Option shall expire no later than ten (10) years from its grant date; provided, however, that no ISO granted to an Employee who owns (directly or under the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary shall expire later than five (5) years from its date of grant.

 

Alcobra Ltd. – Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Option Plan

 

 

(b)    Exercise Price. The exercise price of each Option shall be as specified by the Committee in its discretion; provided, however, that the price shall be at least 100 percent of the Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of the Shares on the date on which the Board grants the Option (or shareholders resolution to grant such options, if such resolution is required), which shall be considered the date of grant of the Option for purposes of fixing the price; and provided, further, that the price with respect to an ISO granted to an Employee who at the time of grant owns (directly or under the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary shall be at least 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant of the ISO. For purposes of the Plan, except as may be otherwise explicitly provided in the Plan or in any Stock Option Agreement, the “Fair Market Value” of a Share at any particular date shall be determined according to the following rules: (i) if the Shares are not at the time listed or admitted to trading on a stock exchange, the Fair Market Value shall be the closing price of the Shares on the date in question in the over-the-counter market, as such price is reported in a publication of general circulation selected by the Board and regularly reporting the price of the Shares in such market; provided, however, that if the price of the Shares is not so reported, the Fair Market Value shall be determined in good faith by the Board, which may take into consideration (1) the price paid for the Shares in the most recent trade of a substantial number of shares known to the Board to have occurred at arm’s length between willing and knowledgeable investors, (2) an appraisal by an independent party or (3) any other method of valuation undertaken in good faith by the Board, or some or all of the above as the Board shall in its discretion elect; or (ii) if the Shares are at the time listed or admitted to trading on any stock exchange, then the Fair Market Value shall be the last known closing price of the Shares when the relevant Option Grant is approved by the Company. Notwithstanding Subsection (ii) above, the Administrator may adopt any other method in order to determine the Fair Market Value of a Share, as long as use of such method will not give rise to adverse tax consequences under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

 

(c)    Notice of ISO Stock Disposition. The Participant must notify the Company promptly in the event that he sells, transfers, exchanges or otherwise disposes of any Shares issued upon exercise of an ISO before the later of (i) the second anniversary of the date of grant of the ISO or (ii) the first anniversary of the date the shares were issued upon his exercise of the ISO.

  

(d)    Effect of Cessation of Employment or Service Relationship. The Committee shall determine in its discretion and specify in each Stock Option Agreement the effect, if any, of the termination of the Participant’s employment with or performance of services for the Company or any Subsidiary on the exercisability of the Option.

 

(e)    No Rights as Stockholder. A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by an Option until the date of issuance of a stock certificate to him for the Shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is earlier than the date the stock certificate is issued, other than as required or permitted by the Plan.

 

(f)    Transferability of Options. Except as permitted by the Committee, and set forth in the terms of a Participant’s Stock Option Agreement, an Option shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the life of the Participant, an Option shall be exercisable only by him, by a conservator or guardian duly appointed for him by reason of his incapacity or by the person appointed by the Participant in a durable power of attorney acceptable to the Company’s counsel.

 

  5. Requirements of Law

 

  (a) The Company shall not be required to transfer Shares or to sell or issue any Shares upon the exercise of any Option if the issuance of such Shares will result in a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provisions of any law, statute or regulation of any governmental authority. Specifically, in connection with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time (the “Securities Act”), upon the exercise of any Option, the Company will not be required to issue Shares unless the Committee has received evidence satisfactory to it to the effect that the holder of the Option will not transfer such shares except pursuant to a registration statement in effect under the Securities Act or unless an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company has been received by the Company to the effect that registration is not required. Any determination in this connection by the Committee shall be conclusive. The Company shall not be obligated to take any other affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of an Option to comply with any law or regulations of any governmental authority, including, without limitation, the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.

 

Alcobra Ltd. – Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Option Plan

 

 

  (b) All other provisions of this Addendum and the Plan notwithstanding, this Addendum and the Plan shall be administered and construed so as to avoid any person who receives an Option Grant incurring any adverse tax consequences under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. The Administrator shall suspend the application of any provisions of the Plan which could, in its sole determination, result in an adverse tax consequence to any person under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

  

  6. Forfeiture for Dishonesty or Termination for Cause

 

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Committee determines, after full consideration of the facts, that:

 

(a)    the Participant has been engaged in fraud, embezzlement, theft or commission of a felony in the course of his or her employment by or involvement with the Company, a Subsidiary or a parent corporation as defined in Section 424 of the Code or any direct or indirect subsidiary of such parent (an “Affiliate”) or has made unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets or other proprietary information of the Company, a Subsidiary, an Affiliate or of a third party who has entrusted such information to the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate; or

 

(b)    the Participant has violated the terms of any employment, noncompetition, nonsolicitation or proprietary information agreement to which he is a party; or

 

(c)    the Participant’s employment or involvement with the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate was terminated for “cause,” as defined in any employment agreement with the Participant, if applicable, or if there is no such agreement, as determined by the Committee, which may determine that “cause” includes among other matters the willful failure or refusal of the Participant to perform and carry out his or her assigned duties and responsibilities diligently and in a manner satisfactory to the Committee;

 

then the Participant’s right to exercise an Option shall terminate as of the date of such act (in the case of (a) or (b)) or such termination (in the case of (c)), the Participant shall forfeit all unexercised Options and shall be required to sell to the Company or, in the case the Company is not allowed to repurchase its own shares, to a third party approved by the Company, all or any part of the Shares acquired by the Participant prior to such event, at a price equal to the lesser of their Fair Market Value or the amount paid to the Company upon such transfer or exercise. If a Participant whose behavior the Company asserts falls within the provisions of (a), (b) or (c) above has exercised or attempts to exercise an Option prior to consideration of the application of this Section 6 or prior to a decision of the Committee, the Company shall not be required to recognize such exercise until the Committee has made its decision and, in the event any exercise shall have taken place, it shall be of no force and effect (and shall be voidab initio) if the Committee makes an adverse determination, provided, however, that if the Committee finds in favor of the Participant then the Participant will be deemed to have exercised the Option retroactively as of the date he or she originally gave notice of his or her attempt to exercise or actual exercise, as the case may be. The decision of the Committee as to the cause of a Participant’s discharge and the damage done to the Company shall be final, binding and conclusive. No decision of the Committee, however, shall affect in any manner the finality of the discharge of such Participant by the Company. For purposes of this Section 6, reference to the Company shall include any Subsidiary or Affiliate.

  7. Tax Withholding

 

To the extent required by law, the Company may withhold or cause to be withheld income and other taxes with respect to any income recognized by a Participant by reason of the exercise of an Option, and as a condition to the receipt of any Option the Participant shall agree that if the amount payable to him by the Company and any Subsidiary in the ordinary course is insufficient to pay such taxes, then he shall upon the request of the Company pay to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy its tax.
