Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement

Novocure Limited, a Jersey Isle company (the “Company”), hereby grants to the individual (the “Participant”) named in the award notice attached hereto (the “Award Notice”) as of the date set forth in the Award Notice (the “Grant Date”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Novocure Limited 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a restricted share unit award (the “Award”) with respect to the number of ordinary shares of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”), set forth in the Award Notice, upon and subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth in the Award Notice, the Plan and this agreement (the “Agreement”).  

1.Award Subject to Acceptance of Agreement.  The Award shall be null and void unless the Participant electronically accepts the Award Notice and this Agreement within the Participant’s stock plan account with the Company’s stock plan administrator according to the procedures then in effect.  

2.Rights as a Stockholder.  The Participant shall not be entitled to any privileges of ownership with respect to the Ordinary Shares subject to the Award unless and until, and only to the extent, such Ordinary Shares become vested pursuant to Section 3 hereof and the Participant becomes a shareholder of record with respect to such Ordinary Shares.

3.Restriction Period and Vesting.  The Award shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Award Notice, provided the Participant remains continuously employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date.  The period of time prior to the vesting shall be referred to herein as the “Restriction Period.”  In the event of the Participant’s Termination, the portion of the Award that was not vested immediately prior to such Termination shall be immediately forfeited by the Participant and cancelled by the Company.  

4.Settlement of Award.  Subject to Article 6, as soon as practicable (but not later than 30 days) after the vesting of the Award, in whole or part, the Company shall issue or transfer to the Participant (or such other person as is acceptable to the Company and designated in writing by the Participant) the number of Ordinary Shares underlying the vested portion of the Award.  The Company may effect such issuance or transfer either by the delivery of one or more share certificates to the Participant or by making an appropriate entry on the books of the Company or the transfer agent of the Company.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1, the Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to such delivery or issuance.  Prior to the issuance or transfer to the Participant of the Ordinary Shares subject to the Award, the Participant shall have no direct or secured claim in any specific assets of the Company or in such Ordinary Shares, and will have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

5.Restrictions or Transfer, Representations and Detrimental Activity.  

5.1.Restrictions on Transfer of Award.  The provisions in the Plan regarding restrictions on Transfer shall apply to the Award.  

5.2.Representations.  Upon the vesting of the Award, 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 (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.

5.3.Detrimental Activity.  

(a)Pursuant to the Plan, in the event the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity prior to, or during the one year period after, any settlement of the Award, the Committee shall direct (at any time within one year thereafter) that the Award (whether vested or unvested) shall be immediately forfeited to the Company and that the Participant shall pay over to the Company (i) the Ordinary Shares received from the settlement of the Award or (ii) if Ordinary Shares received from the settlement of the Award have been transferred, an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Ordinary Shares on the date of settlement.

(b)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.

6.Additional Terms and Conditions of Award.

6.1.Withholding Taxes.    

(a)As a condition precedent to the issuance or transfer of any Ordinary Shares upon the vesting of the Award, the Participant shall, upon request by the Company, pay to the Company such amount as the Company may be required, under all applicable federal, state, local or other laws or regulations, to withhold and pay over as income or other withholding taxes (the “Required Tax Payments”) with respect to the issuance or transfer of such Ordinary Shares.  If the Participant shall fail to advance the Required Tax Payments after request by the Company, the Company may, in its discretion, deduct any Required Tax

2

Payments from any amount then or thereafter payable by the Company to the Participant.

(b)Under the terms of this Agreement, the Participant’s obligations to pay the Required Tax Payments shall be satisfied by the Company withholding whole Ordinary Shares which would otherwise be issued or transferred to the Participant having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date on which such withholding obligation arises (the “Tax Date”), equal to the Required Tax Payments; provided, however, the Participant may notify the Company prior to the Tax Date that the Participant has elected, in lieu of the Company withholding Ordinary Shares, to satisfy his or her obligation to advance the Required Tax Payments by (i) a check or cash payment to the Company, (ii) delivery to the Company (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) of previously owned whole Ordinary Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the Required Tax Payments, (iii) except as may be prohibited by applicable law, a cash payment by a broker whom the Company has selected for this purpose and to whom the Participant has authorized to sell any shares acquired upon the vesting of the award to meet the Required Tax Payments; or (iv) any combination of share withholding and (i), (ii) and (iii); provided, further, that if the vesting date occurs during any blackout period under the Company’s insider trading policy, then the Participant shall be required to sell a number of whole Ordinary Shares which would otherwise be delivered to the Participant upon the vesting of the Award having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the Required Tax Payments and remit such proceeds to the Company to pay such Required Tax Payments.  Ordinary Shares to be delivered to the Company or withheld may not have a Fair Market Value in excess of the minimum amount of the Required Tax Payments (or such greater withholding amount to the extent permitted by applicable withholding rules and accounting rules without resulting in variable accounting treatment).  No certificate representing an Ordinary Share shall be delivered until the Required Tax Payments have been satisfied in full.

6.2.Provisions of Plan Control.  This Agreement is subject to all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan, including the amendment provisions thereof and the provisions relating to a Change of Control, and to such rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee and as may be in effect from time to time.  The Plan is incorporated herein by reference.  If and to the extent that this Agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with the Plan, the Plan shall control, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly.
