The Options are granted as a Capital Gains Award (“CGA”). In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. However, the Notice of Option Grant sets out specific terms for the Participant hereunder, and will prevail over more general terms in the Plan and/or this Option Agreement, if any, or in the event of a conflict between them.         

2.          Issuance of Options.

2.1           The Options will be deposited or issued to the Trustee in compliance with the Deposit Requirements and held in trust by the Trustee (or be subject to a supervisory trustee arrangement if approved by the ITA) for the benefit of the Participants. Participant shall comply with the ITO, the Rules, and the terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement entered into between the Company and the Trustee.

2.2           The Trustee will hold the Options or the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Options (or act in accordance with a supervisory trustee arrangement if approved by the ITA) for the Holding Period, as set forth in the Plan. It is acknowledged that as long as the Shares are subject to a trust arrangement with the Trustee, the Trustee may hold or prevent disposition of such Shares.

2.3           The Participant hereby undertakes to release the Trustee from any liability in respect of any action or decision duly taken and bona fide executed in relation to the Plan, or any Option or Share granted to him thereunder.

2.4           The Participant hereby confirms that the Participant shall execute any and all documents which the Company or the Trustee may reasonably determine to be necessary in order to comply with the ITO and particularly the Rules.

3.          Non-Transferability of Options and Shares.

3.1           Non-Transferability of Options. The Options may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant, by the Participant only. The transfer of the Options is further limited as set forth in the Plan.

3.2           Non-Transferability of Shares. The transfer of the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Options is limited as set forth in the Plan and in Section 6 below.

4.          Period of Exercise.

4.1           Term of Options. The Options may be exercised in whole or in part once vested at any time for a period of ten (10) years from the Date of Grant unless otherwise explicitly stated in the Notice of Option Grant, subject to Section 4.2 below. The Date of Grant, the dates at which the Options vest and the dates at which they are exercisable are set out in the Notice of Option Grant.

4.2           Termination of Options. Options shall terminate as set forth in the Plan. Options may be exercised following termination of Participant’s relation as a Service Provider solely in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 of the Plan, unless otherwise explicitly stated in the Notice of Option Grant.

5.          Exercise of Option Award.

5.1           The Options, or any part thereof, shall be exercisable by the Participant’s signing and returning to the Company at its principal office (and to the Trustee, where applicable), a “Notice of Exercise” in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, or in such other form as the Company and/or the Trustee may from time to time prescribe, together with payment of the aggregate purchase price, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

5.2           In connection with the issuance of Shares upon the exercise of any of the Options, the Participant hereby agrees to sign any and all documents required by law and/or the Company's Corporate Charter and/or the Trustee.

5.3           After a Notice of Exercise has been delivered to the Company it may not be rescinded or revised by the Participant.

5.4           The Company will notify the Trustee of any exercise of Options as set forth in the Notice of Exercise. If such notification is delivered during the Holding Period, the Shares issued upon the exercise of the Options shall be issued in the name of the Trustee, and held in trust on the Participant’s behalf by the Trustee. In the event that such notification is delivered after the end of the Holding Period, the Shares issued upon the exercise of the Options shall either (i) be issued in the name of the Trustee, subject to the Trustee’s prior written consent, or (ii) be transferred to the Participant directly, provided that the Participant first complies with the provisions of Section 7 below. In the event that the Participant elects to have the Shares transferred to the Participant without selling such Shares, the Participant shall become liable to pay taxes immediately in accordance with the provisions of the ITO.

6.          Market Stand-Off.

In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities, and if requested by the underwriters of such public offering, the Participant shall be obligated not, directly or indirectly to sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Options or Shares without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters. Such restriction (the “Market Stand-Off”) will be in effect for such period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be required by the underwriters. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such Shares thereby become convertible, shall immediately be subject to the Market Stand-Off. In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company will be entitled to require the Participant to execute a form of undertaking to this effect or impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares acquired upon the exercise of the Options until the end of the applicable stand-off period. The Company’s underwriters shall be beneficiaries of the agreement set forth in this Section 6.

7.          Taxes.

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, and the Trustee or the Participant) relating to the Options or Shares issued upon exercise thereof, shall be borne solely by the Participant. The Company and/or its Affiliates, and/or the Trustee shall withhold taxes according to the requirements under the applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including withholding taxes at source. Furthermore, the Participant agrees to indemnify the Company and/or its Affiliates and/or the Trustee 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 Participant for which the Participant is responsible. The Company or any of its Affiliates and the Trustee may make such provisions and take such steps as it/they may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of all taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to Options granted under the Plan and the exercise thereof, including, but not limited, to (i) deducting the amount so required to be withheld from any other amount then or thereafter payable to a Participant, including by deducting any such amount from a Participant's salary or other amounts payable to the Participant, to the maximum extent permitted under law and/or (ii) requiring a Participant to pay to the Company or any of its Affiliates the amount so required to be withheld as a condition of the issuance, delivery, distribution or release of any Shares and/or (iii) by causing the exercise and sale of any Options or Shares held by on behalf of the Participant to cover such liability up to the amount required to satisfy minimum statutory withholding requirements. In addition, the Participant will be required to pay any amount, including penalties, that exceeds the tax to be withheld and transferred to the tax authorities, pursuant to applicable Israeli tax regulations.

8.          Legal Compliance.

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 securities and other laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 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.

9.          Adjustments upon Certain Transactions

In the event of a Transaction, the provisions of Section 7 of the Plan will apply, unless otherwise explicitly provided in the Notice of Option Grant.

10.         Miscellaneous.

10.1         Continuance of Employment. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of shares pursuant to the vesting schedule hereof is earned only by continuing as a Service Provider at the will of the Company or its Affiliate, as applicable (not through the act of being hired, being granted this Option or acquiring Shares hereunder). Participant further acknowledges and agrees that in the event that Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, the unvested portion of his Options shall not vest and shall not become exercisable. Participant further acknowledges and agrees that this Option Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued engagement as a Service Provider for the vesting period, for any period, or at all, shall not interfere in any way with Participant's right or the right of the Company or its Affiliate to terminate Participant's relationship as a Service Provider at any time, with or without cause, and shall not constitute an express or implied promise or obligation of the Company to grant additional Options to Participant in the future.

10.2         Governing Law. This Option Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel, without giving effect to the rules respecting conflict of law.

10.3         Entire Agreement. This Option Agreement, together with the Notice of Option Grant, the Plan and the Trust Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and arrangements, oral or written, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. No agreement or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Option Agreement, the Notice of Option Grant or the Plan. Except with respect to a written amendment to this Option Agreement between the Company and the Participant, the Participant may only rely upon the Plan and this Option Agreement with respect to the Participant’s rights and obligations hereunder and may not rely on any representation or statement made by the Company or its affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, whether written or oral, regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan and any rights thereunder. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates guarantee the current or future value of the Options or the performance of the Shares underlying the Options.

10.4         Successors and Assigns. This Option Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns, and the Company shall require such successor or assign to expressly assume and agree to perform this Option Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place. The term “successors and assigns” as used herein shall include a corporation or other entity acquiring all or substantially all the assets and business of the Company (including this Option Agreement) whether by operation of law or otherwise.

*               *               *

By the signature of the Participant and the signature of the Company's representative below, Participant and the Company agree that the Options are granted under and governed by (i) this Option Agreement, (ii) the Plan (including the Appendix for Israeli Taxpayers), a copy of which has been provided to Participant or made available for his/her review, (iii) Section 102(b)(2) of the Income Tax Ordinance (New Version) – 1961 and the Rules promulgated in connection therewith, and (iv) the Trust Agreement, a copy of which has been provided to Participant or made available for his/her review.
