Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement -- Attachment A
REWALK ROBOTICS LTD. 2014 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement
This Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, dated as of the Date of Grant set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Grant (the “Grant Notice”) to which this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement is attached as Schedule A, is made between ReWalk Robotics Ltd. and the Participant set forth in the Grant Notice. The Grant Notice is included in and made part of this Agreement.
1.Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
2.Grant of the Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant, pursuant to the Plan, the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Grant Notice.
3.Period of Restriction. The Period of Restriction with respect to the Restricted Stock Units shall commence and lapse as set forth in the Grant Notice. All Restricted Stock Units as to which the Period of Restriction has not lapsed prior to the date of the Participant’s Termination shall be immediately forfeited upon such date.
4.Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. As soon as reasonably practicable following the lapse of the applicable portion of the Period of Restriction, but in no event later than 15 days following the date of such lapse, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Participant, in full settlement and satisfaction of the Restricted Stock Units as to which such portion of the Period of Restriction has so lapsed: (a) the full number of Shares underlying such Restricted Stock Units, (b) a cash payment in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of such lapse or (c) a combination of such Shares and cash payment, as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine, subject to satisfaction of applicable tax withholding obligations with respect thereto in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement.
5.Change of Control. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the Change of Control provisions set forth in Article XIV of the Plan.
6.Taxes. The Participant acknowledges and agrees, as a condition of this grant, upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, or as of any other date on which the value of any Restricted Stock Units otherwise becomes includible in the Participant’s gross income for tax purposes and/or social security purposes, that the Participant will pay all applicable federal, state or local withholding taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of the Restricted Stock Units by the sale of Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units in an amount reasonably determined by the Company to be sufficient to satisfy (i) such withholding taxes and (ii) if required under applicable law, payment of NIS 0.01 for each Restricted Stock Unit (par value), and to deliver proceeds from such sale to the Company in payment of the foregoing. In order to authorize such sale, this agreement constitutes an irrevocable direction by the Participant to a licensed securities broker selected from time to time by the Company, which as of the Grant Date is Oppenheimer Inc., to sell such Shares at the available market price on or about the applicable vesting date (with the date of such sale to be at the sole discretion of the selected broker), deliver such sale proceeds to the Company in payment of such withholding taxes and, if required under applicable law, payment of NIS 0.01 for each Restricted Stock Unit (par value), and provide to the Company a duplicate confirmation of such sale. The Participant must establish the necessary account with the selected broker before the first vesting date for this grant and authorizes the Company and the broker to cooperate and communicate with one another to effectuate. It is the Participant’s intent that this election to sell comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) of the Exchange Act. The Participant is responsible for providing to the selected broker all applicable forms necessary to facilitate this transaction. In addition, the Company may deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Participant all applicable withholding taxes in respect of these Restricted Stock Units or the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units and, if required under applicable law, payment of NIS 0.01 for each Restricted Stock Unit (par value). The Company or an Affiliate may, in the discretion of the Committee, provide for alternative arrangements to satisfy applicable tax withholding requirements in accordance with Article XVI of the Plan. Regardless of any action the Company or any Affiliate takes with respect to any or all tax withholding (including any social security contributions) obligations, the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all such taxes is and remains the Participant’s responsibility, and that the Company does not: (i) make any representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including the grant or vesting thereof, the subsequent sale of Shares and the receipt of any dividends; or (ii) commit to structure the terms of the Restricted Stock Units or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for such tax.
7.No Rights as a Shareholder Prior to Issuance of Shares. Neither the Participant nor any other person shall become the beneficial owner of the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units, nor have any rights to
2
dividends or other rights as a shareholder with respect to any such Shares, until and after such Shares, if any, have been actually issued to the Participant and transferred on the books and records of the Company or its agent in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.
8.Nontransferability. The Restricted Stock Units shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
9.No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the Restricted Stock Units nor any terms contained in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any rights or claims except in accordance with the express provisions of the Plan and this Agreement and shall not give the Participant any express or implied right to be retained in the employment or service of the Company or any Affiliate for any period, or in any particular position or at any particular rate of compensation, nor restrict in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate, which right is hereby expressly reserved, to modify or terminate the Participant’s employment or service, in each case, at any time for any reason, subject to any legal and contractual conditions. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that any right to lapse of the Period of Restriction is earned only by continuing as an employee of the Company or an Affiliate at the will of the Company or such Affiliate and satisfaction of any other applicable terms and conditions contained in the Plan and this Agreement, and not through the act of being hired or being granted the Restricted Stock Units hereunder.
10. The Plan. By accepting any benefit under this Agreement, the Participant and any person claiming under or through the Participant shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated his or her acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement and any action taken under the Plan by the Board, the Committee or the Company, in any case in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. This Agreement is subject to all the terms, provisions and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference, and to such rules, policies and regulations as may from time to time be adopted by the Committee. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall control, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly. The Plan and the prospectus describing the Plan can be found [on the Company’s HR intranet]. A paper copy of the Plan and the prospectus shall be provided to the Participant upon the Participant’s written request to the Company at the address set forth in Section 13 hereof.
11. | Compliance with Laws and Regulations. |
(a) The Restricted Stock Units and the obligation of the Company to deliver any Shares hereunder shall be subject in all respects to (i) all applicable Federal and state laws, rules and regulations; and (ii) any registration, qualification, approvals or other requirements imposed by any government or regulatory agency or body which the Committee shall, in its discretion, determine to be necessary or applicable. Moreover, the Company shall not deliver any certificates for Shares to the Participant or any other person pursuant to this Agreement if doing so would be contrary to applicable law. If at any time the Company determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of Shares upon any national securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable, the Company shall not be required to deliver any certificates for Shares to the Participant or any other person pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained, or otherwise provided for, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company.
(b) It is intended that any Shares issued hereunder shall have been registered under the Securities Act. If the Participant is an “affiliate” of the Company, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), the Participant may not sell such Shares received except in compliance with Rule 144. Certificates representing Shares issued to an “affiliate” of the Company may bear a legend setting forth such restrictions on the disposition or transfer of the Shares as the Company deems appropriate to comply with federal and state securities laws.
(c) If at any time the Shares are not registered under the Securities Act, and/or there is no current prospectus in effect under the Securities Act with respect to the Shares, the Participant shall execute, prior to the delivery of any Shares to the Participant by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, an agreement (in such form as the Company may specify) in which the Participant represents and warrants that the Participant is acquiring the Shares acquired under this Agreement for the Participant's own account, for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and represents and agrees that any subsequent offer for sale or distribution of any kind of such Shares shall be made only pursuant to either (i) a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, which registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to the Shares being offered or sold; or (ii) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, but in claiming such exemption the Participant shall, prior to any offer for sale of such Shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, from counsel for or approved by the Company, as to the applicability of such exemption thereto.
