Participant:		__________________
Number of Shares		*** shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”)
Subject to Award:
Vesting Schedule:		The Participant shall vest with respect to the Shares as follows: *********** (the “Vesting Schedule”). The Shares may vest on an accelerated basis prior to these vesting dates in accordance with the provisions of Paragraphs 3 and 4 of this Agreement. In no event shall any Shares vest after the date of the Participant’s termination of Service.

Issuance Dates:		Each Share in which the Participant vests in accordance with the foregoing Vesting Schedule shall be issued on the date (the “Issuance Date”) on which that Share so vests or as soon thereafter as administratively practicable, but in no event later than ********************.

          3. Limited Transferability. Prior to actual receipt of the Shares which vest and become issuable hereunder, and subject to the Required Holding Period, the Participant may not transfer any interest in the Award or the underlying Shares. Any Shares which vest hereunder but which otherwise remain unissued at the time of the Participant’s death may be transferred pursuant to the provisions of the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution, subject to receiving a written consent by the transferee to pay any amounts payable in connection with the Shares according to the provisions of the Plan and the Appendix and otherwise abide by all the terms of the Plan.

          4. Cessation of Service.

               (a) Except to the extent otherwise provided in Paragraph 3(b) below, should the Participant cease Service for any reason prior to vesting in one or more Shares subject to this Award, then the Award will be immediately cancelled with respect to those unvested Shares, and the number of restricted stock units will be reduced accordingly. The Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under those cancelled units.

               (b) Should the Participant cease Service as a result of a Termination After Change in Control, then the Participant shall immediately, upon the date of such cessation, fully vest in the Award. The Shares subject to those vested units will be issued on the Issuance Date triggered by the termination.

          5. Change in Control.

               (a) Any restricted stock units subject to this Award at the time of a Change in Control may be assumed by the surviving, continuing, successor or purchasing corporation or parent thereof (the “Acquiring Corporation”) or substituted with a substantially equivalent award for the Acquiring Corporation’s stock. In the event the restricted stock units are not to be so assumed or substituted, then the Participant shall fully vest in the Award immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control. The Shares subject to those vested units will be issued on the Issuance Date triggered by the Change in Control.

               (b) In the event this Award is assumed, the Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award shall be adjusted immediately after the consummation of the Change in Control so as to apply to the number and class of securities into which the Shares subject to those units immediately prior to the Change in Control would have been converted in consummation of that Change in Control had those Shares actually been issued and outstanding at that time.

               (c) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or

to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

          6. Adjustment in Shares. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or other similar change in the capital structure of the Company, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the total number and/or class of securities issuable pursuant to this Award. The adjustments shall be made by the Board in such manner as the Board deems appropriate and such adjustments shall be final, binding and conclusive.

          7. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock.

               (a) On the Issuance Date or as soon thereafter as practicable, the Company shall issue to the Trustee on behalf of the Participant a certificate (which may be in electronic form) for the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the restricted stock units which vest under the Award on such date.

               (b) At the earlier of the time the Award or the vested Shares are sold or withdrawn from the Trustee, the Company shall withhold from payroll and any other amounts payable to the Participant any sums required to satisfy the withholding obligations of the Participating Company Group, if any, which arise in connection with the Award.

               (c) In no event will any fractional shares be issued.

               (d) The holder of this Award shall not have any stockholder rights, including voting or dividend rights, with respect to the Shares subject to the Award until the Trustee on behalf of the Participant becomes the record holder of those Shares following their actual issuance.

          8. Compliance with Laws and Regulations.

               (a) The issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Award shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Participant with all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or the NASDAQ Stock Market, if applicable) on which the Common Stock may be listed for trading at the time of such issuance.

               (b) The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any Common Stock hereby shall relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Company, however, shall use its best efforts to obtain all such approvals.

          9. Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and the Participant, the Participant’s assigns, the

legal representatives, heirs and legatees of the Participant’s estate and any beneficiaries of the Award designated by the Participant.

          12. Governing Law. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Israel.

          13. Employment at Will. Except as may otherwise be set forth in the Participant’s employment agreement, nothing in this Agreement, the Plan or in the Appendix shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent Corporation or Subsidiary Corporation employing or retaining the Participant) or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate the Participant’s service at any time for any reason, with or without cause, subject to compliance with local law and the terms of any employment agreement.

demand for the employer portion of the payment by the Company to the National Insurance Institute plus linkage and interest in accordance with the law, as well as any other expense that the Company shall bear as a result of the said Violation or (B) the Participant agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion, deduct such amounts directly from any amounts to be paid to the Participant as a result of his or her disposition of the Shares.

               (e) The Participant understands that this grant is conditioned upon the receipt of all required approvals from the tax authorities.

               (f) All tax consequences under any applicable law which may arise from the grant of the Award, from the holding or sale of the Shares by or on behalf of the Participant, shall be borne solely by the Participant. The Participant shall indemnify the Company and/or Affiliate and/or Trustee, as the case may be, and hold them harmless, against and from any liability for any such tax or any penalty, interest or indexing.

          15. Nature of Grant; No Entitlement; No Claim for Compensation. In accepting the grant of this Award for the number of Shares as specified above, the Participant acknowledges the following:

               (a) The Plan and the Appendix are established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time.

               (b) The grant of this Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of awards, or benefits in lieu of awards, even if awards have been granted repeatedly in the past.

               (c) All decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Board.

               (d) The Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan.

               (e) This Award is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to a Participating Company (including, as applicable, the Participant’s employer) and which is outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any.

               (f) This Award is not part of the Participant’s 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 awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

               (g) In the event that the Participant’s employer is not the Company, the grant of the Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company and, furthermore, the grant of the Award will not be interpreted to form an

employment contract with the Participant’s employer or any Parent Corporation or Subsidiary Corporation.

               (h) The future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.

               (i) In consideration of the grant of this Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the Award or diminution in value of the Award or any of the Shares issuable under the Award from termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company or the Participant’s employer, as applicable (and for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract or local labor laws), and the Participant irrevocably releases the Participant’s employer, the Company and its Parent Corporations and Subsidiary Corporations, as applicable, 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 signing this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim.

          16. Data Privacy.

               (a) The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Company and its Parent Corporations and Subsidiary Corporations for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

               (b) The Participant understands that the Company and its Parent Corporations and Subsidiary Corporations, as applicable, hold certain personal information about the Participant regarding his or her employment, the nature and amount of the Participant’s compensation and the fact and conditions of the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company and its Parent Corporations and Subsidiary Corporations, details of all options, awards or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (the “Data”). The Participant understands that the Data may be transferred to the Trustee and any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in the Participant’s country, or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that the Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party.

The Company may deliver any documents related to the Award, the Plan, the Appendix or future awards that may be granted under the Plan or the Appendix by electronic means. Such means of electronic delivery include, but do not necessarily include, the delivery of a link to a Company intranet or the internet site of a third party involved in administering the Plan, the Appendix, the delivery of the documents via e-mail or such other means of electronic delivery specified by the Company. The Participant hereby acknowledges that the Participant has read this provision and consents to the electronic delivery of the documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise designated by the Company or required by law, a leave of absence shall not be treated as Service for purposes of determining the Participant’s vested Shares. The Participant’s Service shall be deemed to have terminated either upon an actual termination of Service or upon the corporation for which the Participant performs Service ceasing to be a Participating Company. The Participant’s period of Service shall not include any period of notice of termination of employment, whether expressed or implied, and shall be determined solely by this Agreement and without reference to any other agreement, written or oral, including the Participant’s contract of employment.
