NOTE 10—SHARE INCENTIVE PLANS:

        The Company has five option plans: the 1999 United States Equity Incentive Plan, 1999 Israeli Share Option Plan, 2003 Israeli Share Option Plan (collectively, the "Prior Plans"), the 2006 Global Share Incentive Plan (the "Global Plan") and the Global Share Incentive Assumption Plan 2010 (the "Assumption Plan").

        The Company has authorized for issuance under the Global Plan an aggregate of 3,428,571 ordinary shares, plus the number of ordinary shares available for issuance under the Prior Plans that are not subject to outstanding options, as of the effective date of the Global Plan.

        The number of ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the Company's Global Plan will increase automatically on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning in 2008, by a number of ordinary shares equal to the lower of: (i) 2% of total number of ordinary shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis on the date of the increase, (ii) 685,714 ordinary shares, or (iii) a smaller number determined by the board of directors. In any event, the maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares that may be issued or transferred under the Global Plan during the term of the Global Plan may in no event exceed 15,474,018 ordinary shares. The Global Plan was automatically increased by 685,714 ordinary shares on January 1, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

        The number of ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the Company's Assumption Plan will increase automatically on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning in 2012, by a number of ordinary shares equal to the lower of: (i) 281,625 ordinary shares or (ii) an amount determined by the Board. The Assumption Plan was automatically increased by 281,625 ordinary shares on January 1, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

        The weighted average fair value of options granted was approximately $38.66, $18.51 and $12.51 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

        The total pretax intrinsic value of options exercised in 2012 was $136.1 million. This intrinsic value represents the difference between the fair market value of the Company's ordinary shares on the date of exercise and the exercise price of each option. Based on the closing price of the Company's ordinary shares of $59.38 on December 31, 2012, the total pretax intrinsic value of all outstanding options awards was $112.4 million. The total pretax intrinsic value of exercisable options at December 31, 2012 was $88.4 million.

        The Employee Share Purchase Plan, or ESPP, is designed to allow eligible employees to purchase the Company's ordinary shares, at semi-annual intervals, with their accumulated payroll deductions. A participant may contribute up to 15% of his or her base compensation through payroll deductions, and the accumulated deductions will be applied to the purchase of shares on the purchase date, which is the last trading day of the offering period. The purchase price per share will be equal to 85% of the fair market value per share on the start date of the offering period in which the participant is enrolled or, if lower, 85% of the fair market value per share on the purchase date. In any event, the maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares that may be issued over the term of the ESPP may in no event exceed 2,585,712 shares. 1,085,712 shares were initially reserved for issuance pursuant to purchase rights under the ESPP. In August 2012, the Company reserved for issuance 1,500,000 additional shares under the ESPP. No participant in the ESPP may be issued or transferred more than $25,000 worth of ordinary shares pursuant to purchase rights under the ESPP per calendar year. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, 219,442 and 243,256 shares, respectively, were issued under the ESPP at weighted average per share prices of $28.57 and $18.31, respectively. At December 31, 2012, 1,494,460 shares were available for future issuance under the ESPP.
