Unless and until the RSUs vest, the Holder will have no right to receive Shares under such RSUs.  Prior to actual distribution of Shares pursuant to any vested RSUs, such RSUs will represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company. Any RSUs that vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule will be paid to Holder (or in the event of Holder’s death, to his or her estate) in whole Shares, subject to the Holder satisfying any tax withholding obligations set forth in paragraph 14 and subject to the terms of Section 6 of the Israeli Sub - Plan.

8. Additional Conditions to Issuance of Share.  If at any time the Company will determine, in its sole discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of Shares to the Holder (or his or her estate), such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company.

14. Withholding.  Without derogating from the terms of the Sub-Plan, regardless of any action the Company or its Related Companies takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, health tax or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Holder acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Holder is, and remains, the Holder’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or Related Companies.

Further, if Holder becomes subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, Holder acknowledges that the Company and/or Related Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items and any other required deductions in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to the vesting of RSUs, the Holder agrees to pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or its Related Companies to satisfy all withholding obligations of the Company and/or its Related Companies.  In this regard, the Holder authorizes the Company and/or its Related Companies to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Holder from his or her wages, within legal limits, or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or its Related Companies or from proceeds of the sale of the Shares.  Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Company may (i) sell or arrange for the sale of Shares that the Holder acquire to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (ii) withhold in Shares, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of Shares necessary to satisfy the withholding amount. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that should the amount of withholding for the Tax-Related Items to be satisfied by reducing the number of shares deliverable or by withholding from his or her sale’s proceeds be in excess, the Company and/or his or her employer will refund the excess amount to him or her within a reasonable period and without any interest.  Finally, the Holder shall pay to the Company and/or its Related Companies any amount of Tax-Related Items that may be required to withhold as a result of participation in the Sub-Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to deliver the Shares if Holder fails to comply with obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section. Without derogating from the above said, the Company and/or its Related Companies and/or the Trustee shall have the right to withhold any applicable tax in accordance with the Ordinance, Section 102 and any ruling shall be obtained from the ITA.

all decisions with respect to future RSUs, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

the RSU is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service RSUs, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;

the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

in consideration of the grant of the RSU, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the RSU or diminution in value of the RSU or the Shares acquired through the RSU which results from termination of your employment by the Company or its Related Companies (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Holder irrevocably releases the Company or its Related Companies from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting the RSU, the Holder shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim;
