The Board of Directors shall appoint such members of the Committee, may from time to time remove members from, or add members to, the Committee, and shall fill vacancies in the Committee however caused.

director” under the NASDAQ rules (or other principal securities market on which Shares are traded). Without limiting the application of this Section 3.2, to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and Rule 16b‑3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, Awards shall be granted by a Committee consisting of members who satisfy the requirements specified in the foregoing sentence and shall be ratified by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 4.1 hereof, the full Board of Directors, acting by a majority of its members in office, shall conduct the general administration of the Plan with respect to all Awards granted to a member of the Board of Directors who is not an employee of the Company or any affiliate thereof, and for purposes of such Awards the term “Committee” as used in this Plan shall be deemed to refer to the Board of Directors. In its sole discretion, the Board of Directors may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Committee under the Plan except with respect to matters which under Rule 16b‑3 under the Exchange Act or Section 162(m) of the Code, or any regulations or rules issued thereunder, are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.

3.3 The Committee, if appointed, shall select one of its members as its Chairman and shall hold its meetings at such times and places as it shall determine. Actions at a meeting of the Committee at which a majority of its members are present or acts approved in writing by all members of the Committee, shall be the valid acts of the Committee. The Committee shall appoint a Secretary, who shall keep records of its meetings and shall make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business and the implementation of the Plan, as it shall deem advisable, subject to the directives of the Board of Directors and in accordance with applicable law.

3.4 Subject to the general terms and conditions of the Plan, and in particular Section 3.5 below, the Administrator shall have full authority in its discretion, from time to time and at any time, to determine (i) eligible Participants, (ii) the number of Options or Shares to be covered by each Award, (iii) the time or times at which the Award shall be granted, (iv) the vesting schedule and other terms and conditions applying to Awards, including accelerations or waivers of restrictions, (v) the form(s) of Award Agreements, and (vi) any other matter which is necessary or desirable for, or incidental to, the administration of the Plan. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, delegate some or all of the powers listed above to the Committee, to the extent permitted by the Companies Law, its Corporate Charter or other applicable law, rules or regulations to which the Company is subject.

3.5 In the event that the Administrator is a Committee, the Committee shall not be entitled to grant Options to the Participants (unless permitted to do so by the Companies Law). However, in the event that the Committee is authorized to do so by the Board of Directors, it may issue Shares underlying Options which have been granted by the Board of Directors and duly exercised pursuant to the provisions hereof, in accordance with Sections 112(a)(5) and 288 of the Companies Law.

3.6 No member of the Board of Directors or of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award granted hereunder. Subject to the Company’s decision and to all approvals legally required, each member of the Board of Directors or the Committee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) reasonably incurred by him, or any liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Company) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan unless arising out of such member’s own willful misconduct or bad faith, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Such indemnification shall be in addition to any rights of indemnification the member may have as a director or otherwise under the Company’s Corporate Charter, any agreement, any vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, any insurance policy or otherwise.

3.7 The interpretation and construction by the Administrator of any provision of the Plan or of any Option hereunder shall be final and conclusive. In the event that the Board of Directors appoints a Committee, the interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision of the Plan or of any Option hereunder shall upon ratification by the Board of Directors, be final and conclusive unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors. To avoid doubt, subject to Section 3.2 hereof, the Board of Directors may at any time exercise any powers of the Administrator, notwithstanding the fact that a Committee has been appointed.

3.8 The Administrator shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan and perform all acts, including the delegation of its responsibilities (to the extent permitted by applicable law and applicable stock exchange rules), as it shall, from time to time, deem advisable; to construe and interpret the

terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award issued under the Plan (and any agreements relating thereto); and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan. The Administrator may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any agreement relating thereto in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary to effectuate the purpose and intent of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no action of the Administrator under this Section 3.8 shall reduce the rights of any Participant without the Participant’s consent.

3.9 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator may adopt special Appendices and/or guidelines and provisions for persons who are residing in or employed in, or subject to, the taxes of, any domestic or foreign jurisdictions, to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or accounting, listing or other rules with respect to such domestic or foreign jurisdictions.

4. Eligible Participants.

To avoid doubt, such Awards require approval of the audit committee of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors and the shareholders of the Company.

4.2 Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 4.1 above and any restriction imposed by applicable law, Awards may be granted to any Service Provider of the Company, whether or not the Service Provider is a member of the Board of Directors or a member of the board of directors of an affiliate of the Company. The grant of an Award to a Participant hereunder shall neither entitle such Participant to receive an additional Award or participate in other incentive plans of the Company, nor disqualify such Participant from receiving and additional Award or participating in other incentive plans of the Company.

5. Reserved Shares.

5.1 Subject to Section 12.1 hereof, as of the Effective Date, the aggregate number of Shares which may be issued or transferred pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall be the sum of (i) 750,000 Shares and (ii) any Shares which as of the Effective Date are subject to awards outstanding under the Prior Plans that expire, are cancelled or otherwise terminate unexercised, or Shares that otherwise would have reverted to the share reserve of the Prior Plans following the Effective Date. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued or transferred pursuant to Awards under the Plan during the term of the Plan shall not exceed 6,800,000 Shares, subject to Section 12.1 hereof. Subject to Section 14.2 hereof, the Company shall determine the number of Shares reserved hereunder from time to time, and such number may be increased or decreased by the Company from time to time.

5.2 Any Shares subject to an Award that shall for any reason terminate, expire or otherwise lapse shall again be available for grant as Awards under the Plan. Additionally, any Shares tendered or withheld to satisfy the grant or exercise price or tax withholding obligation pursuant to any Award other than an Option shall again be available for the grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan. In addition, Shares purchased on the open market with cash proceeds from the exercise of Options shall not be available for the grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan. To the extent permitted by applicable law or any exchange rule, Shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by the Company or any affiliate shall not be counted against Shares available for grant pursuant to this Plan. Any Shares that remain unissued and are not subject to Awards at the termination of the Plan shall cease to be reserved for purposes of the Plan. Until termination of the Plan the Company shall at all times reserve a sufficient number of Shares to meet the requirements of the Plan.

5.3 Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, and subject to Section 12.1 hereof, the maximum number of Shares with respect to one or more Awards that may be granted to any one Participant during any calendar year (measured from the date of any grant) shall be four million (4,000,000) Shares.

6. Award Agreement.

6.1 The Board of Directors, and to the extent contemplated under Section 3.2 hereof, a Committee and the Board of Directors, in their discretion may award to Participants Awards available under the Plan. The terms of the Award will be set forth in the Award Agreement. The date of grant of each Award shall be the date specified by the Board of Directors, and the Committee, as applicable, at the time such award is made, or in the absence of such specification, the date of approval of the award by the Board of Directors, and the Committee, as applicable.

The exercise price for each Share to be issued upon exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion, provided that the price per Share is not less than Fair Market Value (as defined in the applicable Appendix), and subject to any further restrictions set forth in an applicable Appendix.

8. Exercise Of Option.

8.3 Each payment for Shares under an Option shall be in respect of a whole number of Shares, shall be effected in (i) cash, (ii) by check payable to the order of the Company, (iii) Shares held for such period of time as may be required by the Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences and having a fair market value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised portion thereof, or (iv) such other method of payment acceptable to the Company as determined by the Administrator, and shall be accompanied by a notice stating the number of Shares being paid for thereby.

8.4 Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry in the share register of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) a Participant shall have no right to vote or right to receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to such Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right the record date for which is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 12.1 of the Plan.

8.5 To the extent permitted by law, if the Shares are traded on a national securities exchange, NASDAQ or quoted on a national quotation system or otherwise publicly traded or quoted, payment for the Shares underlying an Option may be made all or in part by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company in payment of the exercise price (or the relevant portion thereof, as applicable) and any withholding taxes, or on such other terms and conditions as may be acceptable to the Administrator. No Shares shall be issued until payment therefor, as provided herein, has been made or provided for.

Subject to Section 12, the Administrator shall not, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company, (a) authorize the amendment of any outstanding Option to reduce its price per Share, or (b) cancel any Option in exchange for cash or another Award when the Option price per Share exceeds the fair market value of the underlying Shares. Furthermore, for purposes of this Section 9, except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any share dividend, share split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), the terms of outstanding Options may not be amended to reduce the exercise price per Share or cancel outstanding Options in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options with an exercise price per Share that is less than the exercise price per Share of the original Options without the approval of the shareholders of the Company.

10. Performance Based Awards.

10.1 Purpose. The purpose of this Section 10 is to provide the Committee the ability to grant Awards that are intended to constitute Qualified Performance-Based Compensation. If the Committee, in its discretion, decides to grant a Performance-Based Award to a Covered Employee, the provisions of this Section 10 shall control over any contrary provision contained in this Plan or an Appendix; provided, however, that the Committee may in its discretion grant Awards to Covered Employees that are based on Performance Criteria or Performance Goals but that do not satisfy the requirements of this Section 10.

10.2 Applicability. This Section 10 shall apply only to those Covered Employees selected by the Committee to receive Performance-Based Awards. The designation of a Covered Employee as a Participant for a Performance Period shall not in any manner entitle the Participant to receive an Award for the period. Moreover, designation of a Covered Employee as a Participant for a particular Performance Period shall not require designation of such Covered Employee as a Participant in any subsequent Performance Period and designation of one Covered Employee as a Participant shall not require designation of any other Covered Employees as a Participant in such period or in any other period.

10.3 Procedures with Respect to Performance-Based Awards. To the extent necessary to comply with the Qualified Performance-Based Compensation requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to any Award granted under this Plan, including under an Appendix, which may be granted to one or more Covered Employees, no later than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any fiscal year in question or any other designated fiscal period or period of service (or such other time as may be required or permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, in writing, (a) designate one or more Covered Employees, (b) select the Performance Criteria applicable to the Performance Period, (c) establish the Performance Goals, and amounts of such Awards, as applicable, which may be earned for such Performance Period, and (d) specify the relationship between Performance Criteria and the Performance Goals and the amounts of such Awards, as applicable, to be earned by each Covered Employee for such Performance Period. Following the completion of each Performance Period, the Committee shall certify in writing whether the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved for such Performance Period. In determining the amount earned by a Covered Employee, the Committee shall have the right to reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the Performance Period.

10.4 Payment of Performance-Based Awards. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company on the day a Performance-Based Award for such Performance Period is paid to the Participant. Furthermore, a Participant shall be eligible to receive payment pursuant to a Performance-Based Award for a Performance Period only if the Performance Goals for such period are achieved. In determining the amount earned under a Performance-Based Award, the Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of the Performance-Based Award earned for the Performance Period, if in its sole and absolute discretion, such reduction or elimination is appropriate.

10.5 Additional Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any Award which is granted to a Covered Employee and is intended to constitute Qualified Performance-Based Compensation shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code (including any amendment to Section 162(m) of the Code) or any regulations or rulings issued thereunder that are requirements for qualification as qualified performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, and the Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.

11. Termination Of Relationship As Service Provider.

11.1 Effect of Termination; Exercise After Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, if a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, such Participant may exercise any outstanding Options within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement or the Plan to the extent that the Options are vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). If, on the date of termination, any Options or other Awards are unvested, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option or other Award shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise the vested Options within the time specified in the Award Agreement or the Plan, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

In the absence of a provision specifying otherwise in the relevant Award Agreement, then:

(a) in the event that the Participant ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason other than termination for Cause as a result of the Participant’s death or Disability, the vested Options shall remain exercisable for a period of three (3) months from the effective date of termination of the Participant’s status as a Service Provider;

(b) in the event that the Participant ceases to be a Service Provider for Cause, any outstanding unexercised Option (whether vested or unvested) will immediately expire and terminate, and the Participant shall not have any rights in connection with such Options.

(c) in the event that the Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s date of termination for Disability.

(d) in the event that the Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option shall remain exercisable by the Participant’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s date of death.

11.3 Leave of Absence. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. A Service Provider shall not cease to be considered as such in the case of any (a) leave of absence approved by the Company, or (b) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, and its parent, subsidiary, affiliate, or any successor thereof; or (c) changes in status (employee to member of the Board of Directors, employee to Consultant, etc.), provided that such change does not affect the specific terms applying to the Service Provider’s Award.

12. Change in Capital Structure.

Upon the occurrence of any of the following described events, a Participant’s rights to purchase Shares under the Plan shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided:

12.1 Adjustments.

(a) In the event of any dividend or other distribution, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares (other than an Equity Restructuring) occurs such that an adjustment is determined by the Administrator (in its sole and absolute discretion) to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Administrator shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust: (a) the aggregate number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 5; (b) the terms and conditions of any outstanding Awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect thereto); and (c) the grant or exercise price per share for any outstanding Awards under the Plan.

(b) In the event of any transaction or event described in Section 12.1(a) hereof or any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company, any affiliate of the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, the Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon the Participant’s request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award under the Plan, to facilitate such transactions or events or to give effect to such changes in laws, regulations or principles:

(i) To provide for either (A) termination of any such Award in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction or event described in this Section 12.1(b), the Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment) or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion;

(ii) To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

(iii) To make adjustments in the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding options, rights and awards and options, rights and awards which may be granted in the future;

(iv) To provide that such Award shall be exercisable or payable or fully vested with respect to all shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement; and

(v) To provide that the Award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such event.

(c) In connection with the occurrence of any Equity Restructuring, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 12.1(a) or 12.1(b) hereof:

(i) The number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award and the exercise price or grant price thereof, if applicable, will be proportionately adjusted. The adjustments provided under this Section 11.1(c) shall be nondiscretionary and shall be final and binding on the affected Participant and the Company.

(ii) The Administrator shall make such proportionate adjustment, if any, as the Administrator in its discretion may deem appropriate to reflect such Equity Restructuring with respect to the aggregate number and type of securities that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustment of the limitations in Section 5).

12.2 Change in Control.

(a) Anything to the contrary in Section 12.1 hereof notwithstanding, in the event of a Change in Control, the unexercised or restricted portion of each outstanding Award shall be assumed or an equivalent Award or right substituted, by the successor corporation or an affiliate of the successor corporation, as shall be determined by such entity, subject to the terms hereof. In the event that the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation does not provide for such an assumption or substitution of Awards (in circumstances in which the Company is not the successor entity), all Awards shall become exercisable in full and all forfeiture restrictions on such Awards shall lapse, provided that unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the exercise of all Options that otherwise would not have been exercisable and the lapsing of all forfeiture restrictions that would not have otherwise lapsed in the absence of a Change in Control, shall be contingent upon the actual consummation of the Change in Control. Upon, or in anticipation of, a Change in Control, the Administrator may cause any and all Awards outstanding hereunder to terminate at a specific time in the future, including but not limited to the date of such Change in Control, and shall give each Participant the right to exercise such Awards during a period of time as the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine.

(b) For the purposes of this Section 12.2, an Award shall be considered assumed if, following a Change in Control, the option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether shares, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Shares of the Company for each Share held on the effective date of the Change in Control (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration determined by the Administrator, at its sole discretion); provided, however, that if the consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely ordinary shares (or the equivalent) of the successor corporation or its direct or indirect parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the per share consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option or upon the lapsing of the forfeiture restrictions to be solely ordinary shares (or the equivalent) of the successor corporation or its direct or indirect parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Shares in the Change in Control, as determined by the Administrator.

(c) In the event that the Board of Directors determines in good faith that, in the context of a Change in Control, certain Options have no monetary value and thus do not entitle the holders of such Options to any consideration under the terms of the Change in Control, the Board of Directors may determine that such Options shall terminate effective as of the effective date of the Change in Control.

(d) It is the intention that the Administrator’s authority to make determinations, adjustments and clarifications in connection with the treatment of Awards shall be interpreted as widely as possible, to allow the Administrator maximal power and flexibility to interpret and implement the provisions of the Plan in the event of Change in Control.

13. Non-Transferability of Options, Other Awards and Shares.

13.1 Except as may be permitted under an applicable Appendix, no Option or other Award may be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during the Participant’s lifetime an Option may be exercised only by such Participant.

13.2 Except as may be permitted under an applicable Appendix, Shares for which full payment has not been made, may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or mortgaged, other than by will or laws of descent and distribution. For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not be deemed to restrict the transfer of an Participant’s rights in respect of Options or Shares purchasable pursuant to the exercise thereof upon the death of such Participant to such Participant’s estate or other

successors by operation of law or will, whose rights therein shall be governed by Section 11.1(d) hereof, and as may otherwise be determined by the Administrator.

14. Term and Amendment of the Plan.

14.1 The Plan shall become effective as of the Effective Date. The Plan shall expire on the date which is ten (10) years from the date of its adoption by the Board of Directors (except as to Options or other Awards outstanding on that date).

14.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized Committee thereof) may at any time, and from time to time, amend, in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of the Plan (including any amendment deemed necessary to ensure that the Company may comply with any regulatory requirement), or suspend or terminate it entirely, retroactively or otherwise; provided, however, that (a) to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with any applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange rule, or as contemplated in any Appendix, the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required, and (b) shareholder approval is required for any amendment to the Plan that (i) increases the number of Shares available under the Plan (other than any adjustment as provided by Section 12.1 hereof), (ii) constitutes a prohibited action under Section 9 or (iii) permits the Administrator to extend the exercise period for an Option beyond ten years from the date of grant; and provided further, however, that, except (x) to correct obvious drafting errors or as otherwise required by law or (y) as specifically provided herein, the rights of a Participant with respect to Awards granted prior to such amendment, suspension or termination, may not be reduced without the consent of such Participant. The Administrator may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but except (x) to correct obvious drafting errors or as otherwise required by law or applicable accounting rules, or (y) as specifically provided herein, no such amendment or other action by the Administrator shall reduce the rights of any Participant without the Participant’s consent.

15. Term Of Option.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, but without derogating from the provisions of Section 11 hereof, if any Option, or any part thereof, has not been exercised and the Shares covered thereby not paid for within seven (7) years after the date on which the Option was granted, as set forth in the Award Agreement (or any other period set forth in the instrument granting such Option pursuant to Section 6 hereof), such Option, or such part thereof, and the right to acquire such Shares shall terminate, all interests and rights of the Participant in and to the same shall expire, and, in the event that in connection therewith any Shares are held in trust as aforesaid, such trust shall expire.

16. Continuance Of Engagement.

Neither the Plan nor any offer of Shares or Awards to a Participant shall impose any obligation on the Company or a related company thereof, to continue the employment or engagement of any Participant as a Service Provider, and nothing in the Plan or in any Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve as a Service Provider of the Company or a related company thereof or restrict the right of the Company or a related company thereof to terminate such employment or engagement at any time.

17. Governing Law.

The Plan and all instruments issued thereunder or in connection therewith, shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Israel.

18. Application Of Funds.

The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Shares pursuant to Options granted under the Plan will be used for general corporate purposes of the Company or any related company thereof.

19. Taxes.

19.1 Any tax consequences arising from the grant, vesting or exercise of any Award, from the payment for Shares covered thereby, or from any other event or act (of the Company, and/or its affiliates, or the Participant), hereunder shall be borne solely by the Participant. The Company and/or its affiliates shall withhold taxes according to the requirements under the applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including withholding taxes at source. Furthermore, the Participant shall agree to indemnify the Company and/or its affiliates 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. The Company or any of its affiliates may make such provisions and take such steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of all taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to Awards 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 (or Shares issuable) then or thereafter to be provided to the 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 the 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 Awards 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 due in excess of the tax withheld and transferred to the tax authorities, pursuant to applicable tax laws, regulations and rules.

19.2 The receipt of an Award and/or the acquisition of Shares issued upon the exercise of the Options may result in tax consequences. The description of tax consequences set forth in the Plan or any Appendix hereto does not purport to be complete, up to date or to take into account any special circumstances relating to a Participant.

19.3 THE PARTICIPANT IS ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH A TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF RECEIVING OR EXERCISING ANY AWARD IN LIGHT OF HIS OR HER PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

20. Conditions Upon Issuance Of Shares.

Shares shall not be issued pursuant to an Award unless 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. 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.

4. Grants of Options.

4.1 Generally. The Administrator shall have full authority to grant Options to Service Providers pursuant to the terms of this Appendix and the Plan. All Options shall be granted by, confirmed by, and subject to the terms of, an Award Agreement to be executed by the Company and the Participant. In particular, the Administrator shall have the authority to determine whether an Option is an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

4.2 Eligibility. All Service Providers are eligible to be granted Non-Qualified Stock Options under this Appendix, and only employees of the Company, a Subsidiary or a Parent are eligible to be granted Incentive Stock Options under this Appendix, if so employed on the grant date of such Incentive Stock Option, although it is anticipated that grants hereunder will be granted solely or primarily to U.S. Taxpayers. Eligibility for the grant of an Option and actual participation in this Appendix and the Plan shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.2 to the contrary, Consultants who are not natural persons that provide bona fide services to the Company, a Subsidiary or a Parent, and Consultants who provide services in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital raising transaction shall not be eligible to be granted Options under this Appendix.

5. Special Terms for Incentive Stock Options.

5.1 Disqualification. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option (whether because of its provisions or the time or manner of its exercise or otherwise), such Option or the portion thereof that does not qualify shall constitute a separate Non-Qualified Stock Option.

5.2 Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share subject to an Incentive Stock Option shall be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant of such Incentive Stock Option; provided that the per share exercise price of an Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Share at the time of grant of such Incentive Stock Option; and provided, further, that if an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder, the exercise price per Share shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Share at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option.

5.3 Option Term. The term of each Incentive Stock Option shall be fixed by the Administrator; provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable more than seven (7) years after the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted; and further provided that the term of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder shall not exceed five years.

5.4 Incentive Stock Option Limitations. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an employee during any calendar year under this Plan and/or any other stock option plan of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent exceeds $100,000, such Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. In addition, if an employee does not remain employed by the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent at all times from the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted until three months prior to the date of exercise thereof (or such other period as required by Section 422 of the Code), such Incentive Stock Option shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Should any provision of this Appendix not be necessary in order for the Options to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, or should any additional provisions be required, the Administrator

may amend this Appendix accordingly, without the necessity of obtaining the approval of the shareholders of the Company, unless required by applicable law.

5.5 Effect of Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Appendix, and in the absence of a provision specifying otherwise in the relevant Award Agreement, then with respect to Incentive Stock Options, the following provisions must be met on order for the Award to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code:

(a) in the event that the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent for any reason other than the Participant’s death or Disability, the vested Options must be exercised within three (3) months from the effective date of termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company, any Subsidiary or Parent;

(b) in the event that the Participant’s employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or Parent terminates as a result of the Participant’s death or Disability, the Option must be exercised within twelve (12) months following the Participant’s date of termination for death or Disability.

To avoid doubt, the provisions of Section 11 of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect and apply to Awards granted as Incentive Stock Options. The restrictions set forth above represent special additional limitations that apply to qualify as Incentive Stock Options under the provisions of the Code. To avoid doubt, a Participant may choose to exercise Options in accordance with the terms of Section 11 of the Plan and the relevant Award Agreement, and not in compliance with the provisions of the Code relating to “incentive stock options”. In that case such Option will not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

5.6 Notice of Disposition. The Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of Shares acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within (i) two years from the date of grant of such Incentive Stock Option or (ii) one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant.

5.7 Right to Exercise. During a Participant’s lifetime, an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant.

6. Special Terms for Restricted Stock.

6.1 Grant of Restricted Stock. The Administrator is authorized to make Awards of Restricted Stock to any Participant selected by the Administrator in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator. All Awards of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.

6.2 Issuance and Restrictions. Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Administrator may impose (including, without limitation, limitations on the right to vote Restricted Stock or the right to receive dividends on the Restricted Stock). These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, pursuant to such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise, as the Administrator determines at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter.

6.3 Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter, upon termination of employment or status of Service Provider during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock that is at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the Administrator may (a) provide in any Restricted Stock Award Agreement that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and (b) in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock.

6.4 Certificates for Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator shall determine. If certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, certificates must bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, and the Company may, at its discretion, retain physical possession of the certificate until such time as all applicable restrictions lapse.

6.5 Taxes. In accordance with the terms of the Code, a Participant shall be responsible for payment of all taxes incurred in connection with the grant of Restricted Stock. Accordingly, upon the vesting of Restricted Stock, a Participant shall make provision for the payment of all required withholding to the Company in accordance with Section 19.1 of the Plan.

7. Restricted Share Units.

The Administrator is authorized to make Awards of Restricted Share Units to any Participant selected by the Administrator in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator. At the time of grant, the Administrator shall specify the date or dates on which the Restricted Share Units shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable, and may specify such conditions to vesting as it deems appropriate. At the time of grant, the Administrator shall specify the maturity date applicable to each grant of Restricted Share Units which shall be no earlier than the vesting date or dates of the Award and may be determined at the election of the grantee. On the maturity date, the Company shall transfer to the Participant or record as issued to the Participant in the books of the Company (or, if applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator) one unrestricted, fully transferable Share for each Restricted Share Unit scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously forfeited.

8. Amendment of Appendix and Individual Awards.

8.1 This Appendix may be amended or terminated in accordance with the terms governing the amendment or termination of the Plan; provided, however, that without the approval of the shareholders of the Company entitled to vote in accordance with applicable law, no amendment may be made that would: (i) increase the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under this Appendix; (ii) change the classification of individuals eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under this Appendix; (iii) decrease the minimum exercise price of any Option below the amounts specified herein; (iv) extend the term of the Plan under Section 14.1 of the Plan or the maximum Option period under Section 5.3 of this Appendix; or (v) require shareholder approval in order for the Appendix to continue to comply with Section 422 of the Code to the extent applicable to Incentive Stock Options or require shareholder approval to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with applicable law, regulations or under the rules of any exchange or system on which the Company’s securities are listed or traded at the request of the Company.

8.2 The Administrator may, to the extent permitted by the Plan and this Appendix, amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to the Plan or as otherwise specifically provided herein, no such amendment or other action by the Administrator shall materially impair the previously accrued rights of any holder of such Award without the holder’s consent.

8.3 Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan or this Appendix to the contrary, (a) the Administrator may amend the Plan, this Appendix or any Award without the consent of the holder thereof if the Administrator determines that such amendment is required or advisable for the Company, the Plan, this Appendix or any Award to satisfy, comply with or meet the requirements of any law, regulation, rule or accounting standard, and (b) neither the Company nor the Administrator shall take any action pursuant to Section 8 or Section 10 of this Appendix or Section 14.2 of the Plan, or otherwise, that would cause an Award that is otherwise exempt under Code Section 409A to become subject to Code Section 409A, or that would cause an Award that is subject to Code Section 409A to fail to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A.

9. Limits on Transfer.

No Award shall be assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Awards shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, at the time of grant or thereafter that an Award (other than an Incentive Stock Option) granted under this Appendix that is otherwise not transferable pursuant to this Section 9 is transferable to a Family Member in whole or in part and in such circumstances, and under such conditions, as specified by the Administrator. An Award that is transferred to a Family Member pursuant to the preceding sentence (i) may not be subsequently transferred otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and (ii) remains subject to the terms of the Plan, the Appendix and the applicable Award Agreement. Any Shares acquired upon the exercise of an Award by a permissible transferee of an Award or a permissible transferee pursuant to a transfer after the exercise of, or issuance of Shares under, an Award shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, the Appendix and the applicable Award Agreement.

10. Deferred Compensation.

To the extent that the Administrator determines that any Award granted under the Plan and this Appendix is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan, this Appendix and the Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or this Appendix to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Administrator determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Effective Date), the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan or the Appendix and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance. The Administrator may permit deferrals of compensation pursuant to the terms of a Participant’s Award Agreement, a separate plan, or an Appendix that (in each case) meets the requirements of Code Section 409A.
