and

            ,                             (the “Participant”).

Preliminary Statement

The Company hereby grants to the Participant this stock option (the “Stock Option”) on             (the “Grant Date”) based on the NovoCure Limited 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”) and the NovoCure Limited 2015 Omnibus Incentive Sub-Plan for Switzerland, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Sub-Plan”), to purchase the number of ordinary shares of the Company set forth below (the “Ordinary Shares”). Except as otherwise indicated, any capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan.

Any participation by any person is strictly voluntary and any grant made under this Agreement shall be a voluntary benefit for the Participant (Gratifikation) and shall under no circumstance be regarded as salary (Lohn).

This Agreement gives no entitlement to the Participant to further stock options awards.

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Grant of Stock Option. The Company hereby grants, based on the Plan and the Sub-Plan and the terms and conditions set forth herein and therein, in its sole discretion to the Participant, as an Eligible Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director, the Stock Option to purchase from the Company             Ordinary Shares of the Company, nil par value, at an exercise price per share of $            (the “Exercise Price”).

2. Vesting.

(a) Vesting Schedule. The Stock Option shall vest and become exercisable on the dates and in the cumulative percentages provided in the table below; provided, with respect to each vesting date, that the Participant has not experienced a Termination prior to such date.

There shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each vesting date. The Vesting Date for this Stock Option shall be             (the “Vesting Date”).

(b) Unvested Stock Options. Any portion of the Stock Option that is not vested as of the date of a Participant’s Termination for any reason shall terminate and expire on the date of such Termination.

3. Exercise.

(a) To the extent that the Stock Option has become vested and exercisable with respect to a number of Ordinary Shares, the Stock Option may thereafter be exercised by the Participant, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to the expiration of the Stock Option in accordance with the Plan. The Participant may exercise the Stock Option by delivering to the Company written notice of the number of Ordinary Shares covered by the exercise, together with the aggregate Exercise Price. Payment may be made by: (i) cash, check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company; (ii) solely to the extent permitted by applicable law and authorized by the Committee, through a procedure whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker reasonably acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price; or (iii) on such other terms and conditions as may be acceptable to the Committee. Upon expiration of the Stock Option, the Stock Option shall be canceled and no longer exercisable.

(b) Unless otherwise directed or permitted by the Committee, the Participant must pay or provide for all applicable withholding taxes in respect of the exercise of the Stock Option by (i) remitting the aggregate amount of such taxes to the Company in full, by cash, check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company; (ii) to the extent permitted by the Committee, by making arrangements with the Company to have such taxes withheld from other compensation due to Participant; or (iii) solely to the extent permitted by applicable law and authorized by the Committee, through a procedure whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker reasonably acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the applicable withholding taxes.

(c) Upon the exercise of the Stock Option, the Participant:

(i) will be deemed to acknowledge and make such representations and warranties as may be requested by the Company for compliance with applicable laws, and any issuances of ordinary shares by the Company shall be made in reliance upon the express representations and warranties of the Participant; and

2

(ii) will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Ordinary Shares in violation of the Plan or this Agreement or dispose of the Ordinary Shares unless and until the Participant has complied with all requirements of this Agreement applicable to the disposition of the Ordinary Shares.

(d) Pursuant to the Plan, in the event the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity prior to any exercise of the Stock Option, the Stock Option shall thereupon terminate and expire. As a condition of the exercise of the Stock Option, the Participant shall be required to certify in a manner acceptable to the Company (or shall be deemed to have certified) that the Participant is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Sub-Plan and that the Participant has not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, any Detrimental Activity. In the event the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity during the one-year period commencing on the date the Stock Option is exercised, the Company shall be entitled to recover from the Participant, at any time within one year after such Detrimental Activity, and the Participant shall pay over to the Company, the Ordinary Shares received from such exercise, or, if such Ordinary Shares have been transferred, an amount equal to Fair Market Value of such Ordinary Shares on the date of such exercise.

(e) The restrictions regarding Detrimental Activity are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are considered by the Participant to be reasonable for such purposes. Without intending to limit the legal or equitable remedies available in the Plan and in this Agreement, the Participant acknowledges that engaging in Detrimental Activity will cause the Company material irreparable injury for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such activity or threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to the remedies provided under the Plan, to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction a temporary restraining order or a preliminary or permanent injunction restraining the Participant from engaging in Detrimental Activity or such other relief as may be required to specifically enforce any of the covenants in the Plan and this Agreement without the necessity of posting a bond, and in the case of a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction, without having to prove special damages.

4. Stock Option Term. The term of the Stock Option shall be (i) until the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, or (ii) for holders of more than 10% of shares of the Company or an Affiliate, until the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date, after which time it shall expire (the “Expiration Date”), subject to earlier termination in the event of the Participant’s Termination as specified in the Plan and this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the Expiration Date, the Stock Option (whether vested or not) shall be immediately forfeited, canceled and terminated for no consideration and no longer shall be exercisable. The Stock Option is subject to termination prior to the Expiration Date to the extent provided in the Plan or this Agreement.
