8.Issuance of Options:

 

a.Options may be granted at any time, after the Plan shall become effective as specified in Section 17 hereof, subject to obtaining all the necessary approvals (if any) from any regulatory body or governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Company and/or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company and/or any Optionee. In the case of Section 102 Trustee Options, Options may be granted after the passage of thirty (30) days (or a shorter period as and if approved by the tax authorities) following the delivery by the Company to the appropriate Israeli Income Tax Authorities of a request for approval of the Plan and the Trustee according to Section 102. Notwithstanding the above, if within ninety (90) days of delivery of the abovementioned request, the tax officer notifies the Company of its decision not to approve the Plan, the Options, which were intended to be granted as a Section 102 Trustee Options, shall be deemed to be Section 102 Non-Trustee Options, unless otherwise was approved by the tax officer.

For purposes of this Section 8(c), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the date the Option with respect to such Shares is granted. In the event the foregoing results in the portion of an Incentive Stock Option exceeding the one hundred thousand US dollars ($100,000) limitation, only such excess shall be treated as a Non-Statutory Stock Option.

 

9.Trustee:

 

a.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, Section 102 Trustee Options, which shall be granted under the Plan and any Shares issued upon exercise of such Options shall be issued to the Trustee who shall hold the same in trust for the benefit of the Optionee at least for the Lock-up Period. Upon the conclusion of the Lock-up Period and subject to any further period under Applicable Laws, the Trustee may release Section 102 Trustee Options or Shares issued upon exercise of such Options to Optionee only after the Optionee’s full payment of his tax liability in connection therewith due pursuant to the Tax Ordinance.

 

b.Notwithstanding the above, in the event an Optionee shall elect to release the Section 102 Trustee Options and/or the Shares issued upon exercise of such Options prior to the conclusion of the Lock-up Period, the sanctions under Section 102 shall apply to and shall be borne solely by the Optionee.

e.Upon receipt of the Options, an Optionee will sign the Option Agreement, which shall be deemed as the Optionee’s undertaking to exempt the Trustee from any liability in respect of any action or decision duly taken and bona fide executed in relation with the Plan and any Option, Share, Additional Right or other rights received by the Optionee in connection therewith. The Committee shall determine and approve the terms of engagement of the Trustee, and shall be authorized to designate from time to time a new Trustee and replace either of them at its sole discretion, and in the event of replacement of any existing Trustee, to instruct the transfer of all Options and Shares held by such Trustee at such time to its successor and act as required by Applicable Law.

 

f.For as long as the Trustee holds Shares in trust for the benefit of the Optionee, the Trustee shall not use the voting rights vested in such Shares, and shall not exercise such rights in any way whatsoever. In the event the right to vote such Shares is held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 102, then upon the exercise of any Option by the Optionee, the Trustee shall execute an irrevocable voting proxy in such form as may be prescribed by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11(f) of the Plan and the provisions of Section 102.

By this proxy, the Optionee’s right to vote any acquired Shares shall be assigned to the Proxy Holder, who shall vote such Shares on any issue brought before the stockholders of the Company in the same proportion as the votes of the other stockholders of the Company (without taking such acquired Shares in consideration). Such voting proxy shall expire and be of no further force and effect upon consummation of an IPO.

In the case of the Optionee’s death, such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate or by the person or persons to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance or by the Optionee’s designated beneficiary(ies) of that Option, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to the Optionee’s death in a form acceptable to the Committee. If, after termination, the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by the unexercised portion of such Option shall revert to the Plan. Unless the Committee provides otherwise, if, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.

 

c.Notwithstanding the above, if an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider for Cause, all outstanding Options granted to such Optionee (whether vested or not) shall, to the extent not theretofore exercised, expire immediately upon the earlier of: (i) the date of such termination; or (ii) the time of delivery of the notice of termination for Cause, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. The Shares covered by such expired Options shall revert to the Plan. For purposes of the Plan, “Cause” is not limited to events, which have occurred prior to an Optionee’s termination of service, nor is it necessary that the Committee’s finding of “Cause” occur prior to termination. If the Committee determines, subsequent to an Optionee’s termination of service, but prior to the exercise of an Option, that either prior or subsequent to the Optionee’s termination the Optionee engaged in conduct which would constitute “Cause”, then the right to exercise any Option is forfeited immediately upon such determination.

 

d.For the purpose of this Section 12, termination of relationship as a Service Provider shall be deemed to be effective upon the date, which is designated by the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary thereof engaging the Optionee) as the last day of the Optionee’s service with the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary thereof), unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

 

e.For the purpose of this Section 12, a transfer of the Optionee from the service of the Company to any Parent or Subsidiary (and vise versa) or between Subsidiaries or between Parent to Subsidiary shall not be deemed a termination of relationship as a Service Provider, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

 

13.Adjustments, Liquidation and Change in Control: Upon the occurrence of any of the following described events, an Optionee’s right to purchase Shares under the Plan shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided.

 

a.Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number and type of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Option have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, and the number and type of Shares covered by each outstanding Option, as well as the Exercise Price per Share covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number or type of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Ordinary A Shares, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Ordinary A Shares of the Company effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. The 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, in its sole discretion, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Shares or other securities under the Plan and any fractional interest in a Share or other security that would otherwise be delivered upon the exercise of an Option will be cancelled. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of any class of shares, or securities convertible into any class of shares, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number, type or price of Shares subject to an Option.

 

12

 

 

b.Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Company shall have no obligation to notify the Optionees of such event and any Options that have not been previously exercised will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such dissolution or liquidation. Notwithstanding the above, in the event of a voluntary liquidation of the Company, which is not within the frame of a merger or acquisition of the Company, the Committee shall notify each Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction, and any Options that have not been previously exercised will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction.

 

c.Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, each outstanding Option shall be treated as the Committee determines, including, without limitation, that (1) each Option be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation; or (2) the Option shall be cashed out for a consideration equal to the difference between the price received by the shareholders of the Company in the Change in Control transaction and the Exercise Price of such Option. The Committee shall not be required to treat all Options similarly in the transaction. Unless the Option is assumed, or substituted for, following the Change in Control, the Option shall terminate as of the date of the closing of the Change in Control and the Committee shall notify the Optionee in writing or electronically of such termination. For the purposes of this sub-Section 13(c), the Option shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Option immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Ordinary A Shares (minus the exercise price, and if this number is less than zero or zero no consideration shall be paid) 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 Change in Control is not solely common stock or other securities of the successor corporation or its Parent or Subsidiary, the Committee may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each Share subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent or Subsidiary equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Ordinary A Shares in the Change in Control (minus the exercise price).

 

13

 

 

14.Limited Transferability of Options/Shares and Restrictions on Sale of Shares:

 

a.Except and to the extent otherwise provided by the Committee with respect to Non-Statutory Stock Option, no Option may be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated or transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. The terms of the Plan and the Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee. Any attempted sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of any Option or of any rights granted thereunder contrary to the provisions of this Plan shall be null and void.

 

b.Without derogating from the provisions of Section 14(a) above, with regard to Section 102 Trustee Option and the Shares issued upon exercise of such Options, as long as such Options and/or Shares are held by the Trustee on behalf of the Optionee, all rights of the Optionee with respect thereto are personal and cannot be transferred, assigned, pledged or mortgaged, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

c.Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to such restrictions on transfer and/or sale as are generally applicable to shares of the Company, including without limitation, the right of first refusal restriction and the “bring-along” provision, in accordance with the Company’s By-Laws, Certificate of Incorporation and shareholders agreements, all as amended from time to time.

 

d.In the event the Shares shall be registered for trading in any public market,
the Committee may impose certain limitations on the Optionee’s right to sell the Shares (including a lock-up period) as may be requested by the Company’s underwriters or as the Committee may, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable, and Optionee shall unconditionally agree and accept any such limitations.

 

15.Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares:

 

a.Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the
exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. Without derogating from the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares (or any certificate or certificates for such Shares) purchased upon exercise of any Option (or portion thereof) prior to the completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares, if so required under any Applicable Law, including U.S. federal, state or local law, or under the rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable.

 

14

 

 

b.As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Committee may require the Optionee exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of such exercise, if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required, that (i) the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares; and (ii) the Optionee shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares so purchased by him, except in compliance with the Applicable Laws. Furthermore, the Company shall have the authority to endorse upon the certificate or certificates representing the Shares such legends referring to the foregoing restrictions, and any other applicable restriction, as it may deem appropriate.

 

16.Tax Consequences:

 

a.Any tax consequences arising from the grant or exercise of any Option, from the payment for Shares covered thereby, from the sale or disposition of such Shares or from any other event or act (of the Optionee, the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company or the Trustee (if applicable)) hereunder, shall be borne solely by the Optionee. The Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company or the Trustee and\or the employment agency or any other entity engages with the Service Provider (if applicable) shall withhold taxes according to the requirements under Applicable Laws and it may take steps as it may deem necessary for withholding all due taxes, including, but not limited to (i) to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, deducting the amount so required to be withheld from any other amount then or thereafter payable to an Optionee, and/or (ii) requiring Optionee to pay to the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company or to the Trustee and\or to the employment agency or any other entity engages with the Service Provider (if applicable) the amount so required to be withheld as a condition for the issuance, delivery, distribution or release of any Shares. Furthermore, such Optionee shall agree to indemnify the Company and/or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company that engages the Optionee and the Trustee (if applicable) and hold them harmless against and from any and all liability for any such tax or interest or penalty thereon, including without limitation, liabilities relating to the necessity to withhold, or to have withheld, any such tax from any payment made to the Optionee. Except as otherwise required by Applicable Laws, the Company shall not be required to release any Share certificate to an Optionee until all required payments have been fully made.

 

b.Notice to the Company of Disqualifying Disposition. Each Employee who receives Incentive Stock Option must agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after the Employee makes a Disqualifying Disposition of any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Option. A Disqualifying Disposition is defined in Section 424(c) of the Code and includes any disposition (including any sale or gift) of such Shares before the later of (a) two years after the date the Employee was granted the Incentive Stock Option, or (b) one year after the date the Employee acquired Shares by exercising the Incentive Stock Option, except as otherwise provided in Section 424(c) of the Code.

 

c.Without derogating from the definition of Fair Market Value in Section 2(q) above, and solely for the purpose of determining the tax liability with respect to the grant of Capital Gain Option Through a Trustee pursuant to Section 102, in the event the Shares of the Company are listed for trade on any established stock exchange or national market system or in the event the Shares of the Company will be registered for trade within ninety (90) days following the date of grant of such Options, the Fair Marker Value of the Shares on the date of grant shall be equal to the average value of the Company’s Shares on the thirty (30) trading days preceding the date of grant or on the thirty (30) trading days following the date of registration for trade, as the case may be, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102(b)(3) of the Tax Ordinance.

 

15

 

 

d.With regard to Section 102 Non-Trustee Option, in the event an Optionee shall cease to be employed by or, if applicable, cease to render his services to the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, for any reason, the Optionee shall be obligated to provide the Company and/or its Parent or Subsidiary with a security or guarantee, in the degree and manner satisfactory to them, to cover any future tax obligation resulting from the disposition of the Options and/or the Shares acquired thereunder, all in accordance with Section 102.

 

e.With regard to Section 102 Trustee Options, the provisions of the Plan and the Option Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of Section 102 and the tax officer’s approval, which shall be deemed an integral part of the Plan and the Option Agreement. To the extent that Section 102 and/or the tax officer’s approval require the Plan and/or the Option Agreement to contain specified provisions in order to qualify the Options for preferential tax treatment, such provisions shall be deemed to be stated herein and/or in the Option Agreement, as applicable, and to be binding upon the Company, any Parent or Subsidiary and the Optionee.

 

f.With regard to Incentive Stock Option and Non-Statutory Stock Option, to the extent the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder require the Plan to contain specified provisions in order to qualify the Options for preferential tax treatment, such provisions shall be deemed to be stated in this Plan.

 

17.Term, Amendment and Termination of the Plan:

 

a.The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier of: (i) its adoption by the Board, or (ii) its approval by the Company’s stockholders, if such an approval is necessary to comply with Applicable Laws. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, the Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws. If such approval is not obtained, any Incentive Stock Option shall be treated as Non-Statutory Stock Option.

 

b.Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall expire on the tenth (10) anniversary of the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board or approved by the stockholders of the Company, whichever is earlier.

 

c.The Committee, at any time and from time to time, may terminate, suspend or amend the Plan. The Committee shall obtain approval from the Company’s stockholders of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Committee, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Committee’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

 

16

 

 

18.Inability to Obtain Authority: 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 to 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.

 

19.Continuance of Engagement: Neither the Plan nor any Option granted hereunder shall impose any obligation on the Company or its Parent or Subsidiary, to continue its relationship with an Optionee as a Service Provider, and nothing in the Plan, in any Option Agreement or in any Option granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company or its Parent or Subsidiary nor shall it interfere in any way with his right or the Company’s or its Patent’s or Subsidiary’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without Cause, and with or without notice.

 

20.Non-Exclusivity of the Plan: The Plan shall not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including without limitation, the granting of stock options otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

 

21.Governing Law and Jurisdiction: This Plan and all instruments issued thereunder or in connection therewith shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Any dispute arising out of this Plan and all instruments issued thereunder or in connection therewith shall be resolved exclusively by the appropriate court in the State of Israel.

 

22.Reservation of Shares: The Company, during the term of this Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

 

23.Application of Funds: The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Shares pursuant to Options will be used for general corporate purposes of the Company.

 

24.General Provisions for Optionee’s who are Residents of the State of California: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, the provisions set forth in this Section 24 shall apply to all Options granted under the Plan to residents of California, and shall remain in effect until determined otherwise by the Committee, subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to compliance with securities laws of the State of California.

 

17

 

 

a.Option Exercise Price: Except as provided in Section 10 above, the Exercise Price for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Committee, but shall be subject to the following:

 

In the case of an Option:

 

(i)granted to a Service Provider who, at the time of grant of such Option, is a Ten Percent Shareholder, the Exercise Price shall be no less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant; and

 

(ii)granted to any other Service Provider, the Exercise Price shall be no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with an Exercise Price other than as required above pursuant to a merger or other corporate transaction.

 

b.Exercisability. Except with regard to Options granted to officers, Directors, managers or Consultants, in no event shall an Option granted hereunder become vested and exercisable at a rate of less than twenty percent (20%) per year over five (5) years from the date the Option is granted, subject to reasonable conditions, such as continuing to be a Service Provider.

 

c.Information to Optionees: To the extent required by Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code and to the extent the Company is relying on such exemption for the issuance of Options under the Plan, the Company shall provide to each Optionee and to each individual who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan, not less frequently than annually during the period such Optionee has one or more Options outstanding, and, in the case of an individual who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan, during the period such individual owns such Shares, copies of annual financial statements. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Company shall not be required to provide such statements to key employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure their access to equivalent information.

 

d.Limitation on Number of Shares. At no time shall the total number of Shares issuable upon exercise of all outstanding Options under the Plan and any Shares provided for under any bonus or similar plan or agreement of the Company exceed __% of the then-outstanding Shares of the Company, unless a percentage higher than __% is approved by at least two-thirds of the outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote. The number of Shares which may be issued or transferred pursuant to Options under the Plan shall be reduced to the extent necessary to comply with this provision.

 

25.Severability: If any term or other provision of this Plan is determined to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Applicable Laws, the invalidity of such term or provision of the Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan, which shall remain in full force and effect.
