On September 30, 2024, the compensation committee of the board of directors of InspireMD, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the InspireMD, Inc. 2024 Inducement Plan (the “2024 Inducement Plan”). The terms of the 2024 Inducement Plan are substantially similar to the terms of the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan with the exception that incentive stock options may not be issued under the Inducement Plan and awards under the Inducement Plan may only be issued to eligible recipients under the applicable Nasdaq rules. The 2024 Inducement Plan was adopted without stockholder approval pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

The Company has initially reserved 2,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2024 Inducement Plan. In accordance with Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, awards under the 2024 Inducement Plan may only be made to an employee who has not previously been an employee or member of the board of directors of the Company or any parent or subsidiary, or following a bona fide period of non-employment by the Company or a parent or subsidiary, if he or she is granted such award in connection with his or her commencement of employment with the Company or a subsidiary and such grant is an inducement material to his or her entering into employment with the Company or such subsidiary.

A complete copy of the 2024 Inducement Plan and the forms of inducement restricted stock award agreement, inducement nonqualified stock option agreement and inducement restricted stock unit agreement to be used thereunder are filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2, Exhibit 10.3 and Exhibit 10.4, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

Any action may be taken by a written instrument signed by all of the members of the Committee and any action so taken shall be fully effective as if it had been taken at a meeting.

2.4 Subject to the provisions of this Plan and any Applicable Laws, and with a view to accomplishing the purpose of the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall have sole authority, in its absolute discretion, to:

	(a)	construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and any Award granted pursuant to this Plan;

	(b)	define the terms used in the Plan;

	(c)	prescribe, amend and rescind the rules and regulations relating to this Plan, including without limitation, adopting procedures from time to time that are intended to ensure that an individual is an Eligible Person prior to the granting of any Awards to such individual (including without limitation a requirement that each such individual certify to the Corporation prior to the receipt of an Award that he or she is not currently employed by the Corporation or a Related Corporation and, if previously so employed, has had a bona fide period of interruption of employment, and that the grant of Awards is an inducement material to the Eligible Person’s agreement to enter into employment with the Corporation or a Related Corporation);

	(d)	correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan;

	(e)	grant Awards under this Plan, except where additional corporate approvals are required by Applicable Law;

	(g)	determine the time or times at which Awards shall be granted under this Plan;

	(h)	determine the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each Award, the exercise price of each Award, the duration of each Award and the times at which each Award shall become vested and exercisable;

	(i)	determine all other terms and conditions of the Awards; and

	(j)	make all other determinations and interpretations necessary and advisable for the administration of the Plan.

2.5 All decisions, determinations and interpretations made by the Plan Administrator shall be binding and conclusive on all participants in the Plan and on their legal representatives, heirs and beneficiaries.

3. Definitions.

3.1 In this Plan:

	(a)	“Eligible Person” means any prospective employee who was not previously an employee or director of the Corporation or a Related Corporation, hired as a new employee or rehired as an employee following a bona fide period of interruption of employment, if such person is granted an Award as a material inducement to his or her entering into employment with the Corporation or a subsidiary (within the meaning of Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4)).

	(b)	“Fair Market Value” except as may be otherwise explicitly provided in the Plan or in any Agreement, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at any particular date shall be the last sale price for the Common Stock, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on that day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices during the period that is within 30 days before or 30 days after the applicable valuation date, regular way, for the Common Stock, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”):

7. STOCK

7.1 The Plan Administrator is authorized to grant Options to acquire shares of Common Stock, shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units in a number not exceeding 2.2% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the grant of such Awards on a Fully Diluted Basis. For purposes of this Section 7.1, the term “Fully Diluted Basis” means all issued and outstanding share capital (where options shall be deemed outstanding share capital until exercised) and all rights to acquire share capital including, without limitation, all securities convertible or exercisable into shares of Common Stock being deemed so converted and exercised, the conversion of any convertible shareholder loans into share capital, with all outstanding warrants, options or any other right granted by the Corporation to receive shares of the Corporation’s share capital being deemed exercised in full. Shares of Common Stock with respect to which Awards may be granted hereunder are subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 8.1(o) hereof. In the event that any outstanding Award expires or is terminated for any reason, the shares of Common Stock allocable to the unexercised portion of such Award may again be subject to an Award granted to the same Participant or holder or to a different person eligible under Section 4 of this Plan.

8. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS

8.1 Each Award granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by a written agreement approved by the Plan Administrator (each, an “Agreement”). Agreements may contain such provisions, not inconsistent with this Plan or any Applicable Laws, as the Plan Administrator in its discretion may deem advisable. All Awards also shall comply with the following requirements:

	(a)	Number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Award and Type of Award.

		Each Agreement shall state the number of shares of Common Stock to which it pertains and whether the Award is intended to be a Non-Qualified Option, or a Non-Qualified Award; provided that in the absence of action to the contrary by the Plan Administrator in connection with the grant of an Award, all Awards shall be Non-Qualified Options or Non-Qualified Awards, as the case may be.

	(b)	Date of Grant

		Each Agreement shall state the date the Plan Administrator has deemed to be the date of grant of the Award (the “Date of Grant”).

	(c)	Exercise Price

		With respect to any Option, each Agreement shall state the exercise price per share of Common Stock to which an Award is exercisable (if applicable). The Plan Administrator shall act in good faith to establish the exercise price in accordance with Applicable Laws; provided that Options granted in substitution for outstanding options of another corporation in connection with the merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock or other reorganization involving such other corporation and the Corporation or any Related Corporation may be granted with an exercise price equal to the exercise price for the substituted option of the other corporation, subject to any adjustment consistent with the terms of the transaction pursuant to which the substitution is to occur.

	(d)	Duration of Awards

		At the Date of Grant of the Award, the Plan Administrator shall designate, subject to Section 8.1(g) below, the expiration date of the Awards, which date shall not be later than ten (10) years from the Date of Grant; provided that the Plan Administrator may decide otherwise in specific Award Agreements. In the absence of action to the contrary by the Plan Administrator in connection with the grant of a particular Award, all Awards granted under this Section 8 shall expire 10 years from the Date of Grant.

	(e)	Vesting Schedule

		No Option shall be exercisable until it has vested. The vesting schedule for each Award shall be specified by the Plan Administrator at Date of Grant of the Award; provided that if no vesting schedule is specified at the Date of Grant, the Award shall vest as follows:

		one third of the Option shall vest and become exercisable on each one-year anniversary of the date of grant. The Plan Administrator may specify a vesting schedule for all, or any portion of, an Award based on the achievement of performance objectives established in advance of the commencement by the Participant of services related to the achievement of the performance objectives. Performance objectives shall be expressed in terms of objective criteria, including but not limited to, one or more of the following: return on equity, return on assets, share price, market share, sales, earnings per share, costs, net earnings, net worth, inventories, cash and cash equivalents, gross margin or the Corporation’s performance relative to its internal business plan. Performance objectives may be in respect of the performance of the Corporation as a whole (whether on a consolidated or unconsolidated basis), a Related Corporation, or a subdivision, operating unit, product or product line of either of the foregoing. Performance objectives may be absolute or relative and may be expressed in terms of a progression or a range. An Option that is exercisable (in full or in part) upon the achievement of one or more performance objectives may be exercised only following written notice to the Participant and the Corporation by the Plan Administrator that the performance objective has been achieved.

	(f)	Acceleration of Vesting

		The vesting of one or more outstanding Award may be accelerated by the Plan Administrator at such times and in such amounts as it shall determine in its sole discretion.

(g)

Term of Award

(i)

Vested Options shall terminate, to the extent not previously exercised, upon the occurrence of the first of the following events:

	A.	the expiration of the Option, as designated by the Plan Administrator in accordance with Section 8.1(d) above;

	B.	the date a Participant receives a notice of his or her termination of employment or contractual relationship with the Corporation or any Related Corporation for Cause (as hereinafter defined); or

	C.	the expiration of ninety (90) days, unless otherwise determined in specific Agreements by the Plan Administrator, from the date of a Participant’s termination of employment or contractual relationship with the Corporation or any Related Corporation for any reason whatsoever other than Cause, but including death or disability.

	(iii)	Upon the death of a Participant, any vested Option still in force and unexpired may be exercised by the person or persons to whom such Participant’s rights shall pass by the Participant’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution at the Participant’s domicile at the time of death, within a period of six (6) months after the date of the Participant’s death.

	(iv)	For purposes of the Plan, unless otherwise defined in the Agreement, termination for “Cause” shall mean such termination is for “cause” as such term is expressly defined in a then-effective written agreement between the Participant and the Corporation or any Related Corporation, or in the absence of such then-effective written agreement and in the case of an employee, termination for the following reasons (i) conviction of any felony involving moral turpitude or affecting the Corporation; (ii) any refusal to carry out a reasonable directive of the chief executive officer, the Board or the Participant’s direct supervisor, which involves the business of the Corporation or its Related Corporation and was capable of being lawfully performed; (iii) embezzlement of funds of the Corporation or its Related Corporation; (iv) any breach of the Participant’s fiduciary duties or duties of care of the Corporation; including without limitation disclosure of confidential information of the Corporation; and (v) any conduct (other than conduct in good faith) reasonably determined by the Board to be materially detrimental to the Corporation. Unless accelerated in accordance with Section 8.1(f) above, unvested Options shall terminate immediately upon termination of employment or contractual relationship of a Participant with the Corporation or a Related Corporation, for any reason whatsoever, including death or disability.

	(v)	For purposes of this Plan, transfer of employment between or among the Corporation and/or any Related Corporation shall not be deemed to constitute a termination of employment with the Corporation or any Related Corporation. Employment shall be deemed to continue while the Participant is on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence (as determined by the Plan Administrator). The foregoing notwithstanding, employment shall not be deemed to continue beyond the first ninety (90) days of such leave, unless otherwise determined in specific Agreements by the Plan Administrator and unless the Participant’s re-employment rights are guaranteed by statute or by contract. Furthermore, no Options shall continue to vest during any “prior notice period prior to the termination” of any Participant.

(h)

Exercise of Options

	(i)	Options shall be exercisable, in full or in part, at any time after vesting, until termination of the Option. If less than all of the shares of Common Stock included in the vested portion of any Option are purchased, the remainder may be purchased at any subsequent time prior to the expiration of the exercise period. Only a whole share of Common Stock may be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option, and to the extent that an Option covers less than one (1) share of Common Stock, it is unexercisable.

	(ii)	Options or portions thereof may be exercised by giving written notice to the Corporation, in such form and method as may be determined by the Corporation and when applicable, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased, and be accompanied by payment in the amount of the aggregate exercise price for the Common Stock so purchased, which payment shall be in the form specified in Section 8.1(i) below. The Corporation shall not be obligated to issue, transfer or deliver a certificate representing shares of Common Stock to the holder of any Option, until provision has been made by the holder, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, for the payment of the aggregate exercise price for all shares of Common Stock for which the Option shall have been exercised and for satisfaction of any tax withholding obligations associated with such exercise. During the lifetime of a Participant, Options are exercisable only by the Participant.

(i)

Payment upon Exercise of Option

Upon the exercise of any Option, the aggregate exercise price shall be paid to the Corporation in cash or by wire transfer or cashier’s check, or any other manner approved by Administrator. In addition, if pre-approved in writing by the Plan Administrator who may arbitrarily withhold consent, the holder may pay for all or any portion of the aggregate exercise price by complying with one or more of the following alternatives:

	(i)	by delivering to the Corporation shares of Common Stock previously held by such holder, or by the Corporation withholding shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable pursuant to exercise of the Option, which shares of Common Stock received or withheld shall have a fair market value at the date of exercise (as determined by the Plan Administrator) equal to the aggregate exercise price to be paid by the Participant upon such exercise;

	(ii)	by delivering a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker promptly to sell or margin a sufficient portion of the shares of Common Stock and deliver directly to the Corporation the amount of sale or margin loan proceeds to pay the exercise price; or

	(iii)	by complying with any other payment mechanism approved by the Plan Administrator at the time of exercise.

(j)

Restricted Stock. A Non-Qualified Award may be granted by the Corporation in a specified number of shares of Common Stock of Corporation to the Participant, which shares may or may not be subject to forfeiture or other restrictions upon the happening of specified events (the term in which such restrictions apply shall be referred to as the “Restriction Period”) and subject to the conditions and limitations in the Plan. Such an Award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

	(i)	Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by Award Agreements. Such Agreements shall conform to the requirements of the Plan and may contain such other provisions as the Committee shall deem advisable.

	(ii)	Upon determination of the number of shares of Restricted Stock to be granted to a holder, the Committee shall direct that a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock of Corporation be issued to the holder with the holder designated as the registered owner. If any restrictions apply to such shares of Restricted Stock, the certificate(s) representing such shares shall be legended as to sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or other encumbrances during the Restriction Period and deposited by the holder, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Corporation, to be held in escrow during the Restriction Period.

	(iii)	Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of an Award, during the Restriction Period the holder shall have the right to receive dividends from and to vote the shares of Restricted Stock.

	(iv)	The Award Agreement shall specify the duration of the Restriction Period, if any, and the employment or other conditions (including termination of employment on account of death, disability, retirement or other cause) under which shares of Restricted Stock may be forfeited by the Corporation. At the end of the Restriction Period, if any, the restrictions imposed shall lapse with respect to the number of shares of Restricted Stock as determined by the Committee, and the legend shall be removed and such number of shares delivered to the holder (or, where appropriate, the holder’s legal representative). The Committee may, in its sole discretion, modify or accelerate the vesting and delivery of shares of Restricted Stock, if those are subject to vesting.

(k)

Restricted Stock Unit. The Plan Administrator is authorized to make awards of Restricted Stock Units, as a Non-Qualified Award, to any Eligible Person in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate. On the vesting date of a Restricted Stock Unit (and, in no event later than the fifteenth day of the third month following the close of the year in which vesting under the applicable Agreement occurs, or if later, the close of the year specified by the Plan Administrator in the applicable Agreement), the Corporation shall transfer to the Participant one unrestricted, fully transferable, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock (or the cash equivalent of the Fair Market Value thereof) for each Restricted Stock Unit scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously forfeited.

	(i)	All Awards of Restricted Stock Units made pursuant to this Plan will be evidenced by an Award Agreement and will comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan.

	(ii)	During the Restriction Period the holder shall not have the right to receive dividends from and to vote the shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units. With respect to each Restricted Stock Unit, the Plan Administrator may grant a “Dividend Equivalent Unit” to any Participant upon such terms and conditions as it may establish. Each Dividend Equivalent Unit will entitle the Participant, at the time of the settlement of the Award, to an additional payment equal to the dividends the Participant would have received if the Participant had been the actual record owner of the underlying Common Stock on each dividend record date prior to settlement. The Dividend Equivalent Unit may be settled in cash, additional shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof.

	(iii)	Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may impose. These terms and conditions may include restrictions based upon completion of a specified period of service with the Corporation as set out in advance in the Participant’s individual Award Agreement.

	(l)	No Rights as a Shareholder.

		A holder shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Corporation with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by an Option and to any Restricted Stock Unit until such holder becomes a record holder of such shares, irrespective of whether such holder has given notice of exercise. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1(m) hereof, no rights shall accrue to a holder and no adjustments shall be made on account of dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions or other rights declared on, or created in, the Common Stock for which the record date is prior to the date the holder becomes a record holder of the shares of Common Stock, irrespective of whether such holder has given notice of exercise.

	(m)	Non-transferability Options.

		Options and unvested Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted under this Plan and the rights and privileges conferred by this Plan may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any manner (whether by operation of law or otherwise) other than by will, by applicable laws of descent and distribution, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process; provided, however that with the prior consent of the Committee, an Award may be transferred to an entity in which all equity holders are (1) either the spouse (or former spouse), children or grandchildren of the Participant (each, an “Immediate Family Member”) of the Participant and/or (2) entities which are controlled by immediate family members of the Participant. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Options, unvested Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units or of any right or privilege conferred by this Plan contrary to the provisions hereof, or upon the sale, levy or any attachment or similar process upon the rights and privileges conferred by this Plan, such Options, unvested Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall thereupon terminate and become null and void.

(n)

Securities Regulation and Tax Withholding; Action Required upon Grant of Award

	(i)	The issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant to grant, exercise or settlement of an Award shall comply with all Applicable Laws, and such issuance shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Corporation with respect to such compliance, including the availability of an exemption from prospectus and registration requirements for the issuance and sale of such shares of Common Stock. The inability of the Corporation to obtain from any regulatory body the authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of Common Stock under this Plan, or the unavailability of an exemption from prospectus and registration requirements for the issuance and sale of any shares of Common Stock under this Plan, shall relieve the Corporation of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of such shares of Common Stock.

	(ii)	As a condition to the exercise of an Option or grant, or grant or settlement of other Awards, the Plan Administrator may require the holder to represent and warrant in writing at the time of such exercise, grant or settlement that the shares of Common Stock are being purchased only for investment and without any then-present intention to sell or distribute such shares of Common Stock. If necessary under Applicable Laws, the Plan Administrator may cause a stop-transfer order against such Common Stock to be placed on the stock books and records of the Corporation, and a legend indicating that the shares of Common Stock may not be pledged, sold or otherwise transferred unless an opinion of counsel is provided stating that such transfer is not in violation of any Applicable Laws, may be stamped on the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock in order to assure an exemption from registration. The Plan Administrator also may require such other documentation as may from time to time be necessary to comply with applicable securities laws. THE CORPORATION HAS NO OBLIGATION TO UNDERTAKE REGISTRATION OF OPTIONS OR THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE OF OPTIONS OR GRANT OR SETTLEMENT OF OTHER AWARDS.

(iii)

The holder shall pay to the Corporation by wire transfer or cashier’s check, or any other manner approved by Administrator promptly upon exercise of an Option or, if sooner or later, the date that the amount of such obligations becomes due with respect to any Award, all applicable federal, state, local and foreign withholding taxes that the Plan Administrator in its discretion, determines to result upon exercise of an Option or from a transfer or other disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an Option or otherwise related to an Option or shares of Common Stock granted or settled in connection with a different Award. Furthermore, the holder shall agree to indemnify the Corporation 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 holder. Upon approval of the Plan Administrator, a holder may satisfy such obligation by complying with one or more of the following alternatives selected by the Plan Administrator:

	A.	by delivering to the Corporation shares of Common Stock previously held by such holder or by the Corporation withholding shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable pursuant to the exercise of the Option or grant or settlement of a different Award, which shares of Common Stock received or withheld shall have a Fair Market Value (as determined by the Plan Administrator) equal to the minimum mandatory withholding tax obligations arising as a result of such exercise, transfer or other disposition; or

	B.	by complying with any other payment mechanism approved by the Plan Administrator from time to time.

(iv)

The issuance, transfer or delivery of certificates representing shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of Options or issuance of shares underlying a different Award may be delayed, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, until the Plan Administrator is satisfied that the applicable requirements of all Applicable Laws and the withholding provisions of the Code have been met and that the holder has paid or otherwise satisfied any withholding tax obligation as described in Section 8.1(l)(iii) above.

(v)

Promptly following the grant of an Award, the Corporation shall, in accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5635(c), (1) issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the Award, including the recipient(s) of the Award and the number of shares of Common Stock involved, and (2) provide written notice to Nasdaq of such grant.

(o)

Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization

(i)

The class of shares for which Awards may be granted under this Plan, the number and class of shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the exercise price per share thereof (but not the total price), and each such Award, shall all be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Common Stock resulting from:

	A.	a subdivision or consolidation of Common Stock or any like capital adjustment, or

	B.	the issuance of any shares of Common Stock, or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock, to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock by way of a stock dividend (other than the issuance of shares of Common Stock, or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock, to holders of shares of Common Stock pursuant to their exercise of options to receive dividends in the form of shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, in lieu of dividends paid in the ordinary course on the shares of Common Stock).

(ii)

Except as provided in Section 8.1(m)(iii) hereof, upon a merger (other than a merger of the Corporation in which the holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of common shares in the surviving corporation immediately after the merger), consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization (other than a mere re-incorporation or the creation of a holding Corporation) or liquidation of the Corporation, as a result of which the shareholders of the Corporation receive cash, shares or other property in exchange for or in connection with their shares of Common Stock, any Award granted hereunder shall terminate, but the holder shall have the right to exercise such holder’s Award immediately prior to any such merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or shares, separation, reorganization or liquidation, and to be treated as a shareholder of record for the purposes thereof, to the extent the vesting requirements set forth in the Award Agreement have been satisfied.

(iii)

If the shareholders of the Corporation receive shares in the capital of another corporation (“Exchange Shares”) in exchange for their shares of Common Stock in any transaction involving a merger (other than a merger of the Corporation in which the holders of shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of shares of common stock in the surviving corporation immediately after the merger), consolidation, acquisition of property or shares, separation or reorganization (other than a mere re-incorporation or the creation of a holding Corporation), all Awards granted hereunder shall be converted into Awards to purchase Exchange Shares, unless the Corporation and the corporation issuing the Exchange Shares, in their sole discretion, determine that any or all such Awards granted hereunder shall not be converted into Awards to purchase Exchange Shares but instead shall terminate in accordance with, and subject to the holder’s right to exercise the holder’s Awards pursuant to, the provisions of Section 8.1(m)(ii). The amount and price of converted Awards shall be determined by adjusting the amount and price of the Awards granted hereunder in the same proportion as used for determining the number of Exchange Shares the holders of the shares of Common Stock receive in such merger, consolidation, acquisition or property or stock, separation or reorganization. Unless accelerated by the Board, the vesting schedule set forth in the Option Agreement shall continue to apply to the Awards granted for the Exchange Shares.

	(iv)	In the event of any adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock covered by any Award, any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall be disregarded and each such Award shall cover only the number of full shares resulting from such adjustment.

	(v)	All adjustments pursuant to Section 8.1(m) shall be made by the Plan Administrator, and its determination as to what adjustments shall be made, and the extent thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive. All adjustments to any Award shall be made in a manner compliant with, and to the extent permitted under, Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable.

	(vi)	The grant of an Award shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge, consolidate or dissolve, to liquidate or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

	(p)	Compliance with Section 409A.

		It is the intention of the Corporation that no payment or entitlement pursuant to this Plan will give rise to any adverse tax consequences to any person pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. The Plan Administrator shall interpret and apply the Plan to that end and shall not give effect to any provision therein in a manner that reasonably could be expected to give rise to adverse tax consequences under Section 409A.

9. EFFECTIVE DATE; AMENDMENT; SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL NOT REQUIRED

9.1 The effective date of the Plan shall be the date approved by the Board. Unless sooner terminated by the Board, this Plan will become effective on the date it is approved by the Board and will remain in effect until the tenth (10^th) anniversary of such date, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date in accordance with the plan. No Award may be granted under the Plan after such termination or during any suspension of this Plan.

9.2. It is expressly intended that approval of the Corporation’s shareholders not be required as a condition of the effectiveness of the Plan, and the Plan’s provisions shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent for all purposes. Specifically, Nasdaq Rule 5635(c) generally requires shareholder approval for equity compensation plans adopted by companies whose securities are listed on Nasdaq that provide for the delivery of equity securities to any employees, directors or other service providers of such companies as compensation for services. Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4) provides an exemption in certain circumstances for employment inducement awards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4), Awards may only be granted as material inducements to Eligible Persons being hired or rehired as employees, as applicable, and must be approved by (a) the Board, acting through a majority of the Corporation’s independent directors, or (b) the independent compensation committee of the Board. Accordingly, pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4), the issuance of Awards and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or vesting of such Awards pursuant to the Plan is not subject to the approval of the Corporation’s shareholders.

10. NO OBLIGATIONS TO EXERCISE OPTION

The grant of an Option shall impose no obligation upon the Participant to exercise such Option.

11. NO RIGHT TO AWARD OR TO EMPLOYMENT

Whether or not any Awards are to be granted under this Plan shall be exclusively within the discretion of the Plan Administrator, and nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed as giving any person any right to participate under this Plan. The grant of an Award shall in no way constitute any form of agreement or understanding binding on the Corporation or any affiliate, express or implied, that the Corporation or any affiliate will employ or contract with an Participant for any length of time, nor shall it interfere in any way with the Corporation’s or, where applicable, an affiliate’s right to terminate Participant’s employment at any time, which right is hereby reserved.

12. APPLICATION OF FUNDS

The proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of Awards shall be used for general corporate purposes, unless otherwise directed by the Board.

13. INDEMNIFICATION OF PLAN ADMINISTRATOR

In addition to all other rights of indemnification they may have as members of the Board, members of the Plan Administrator shall be indemnified by the Corporation for all reasonable expenses and liabilities of any type or nature, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which they or any of them are a party by reason of, or in connection with, this Plan or any Award granted under this Plan, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided that such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Corporation), except to the extent that such expenses relate to matters for which it is adjudged that such Plan Administrator member is liable for willful misconduct; provided, that within fifteen (15) days after the institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, the Plan Administrator member involved therein shall, in writing, notify the Corporation of such action, suit or proceeding, so that the Corporation may have the opportunity to make appropriate arrangements to prosecute or defend the same.

14. AMENDMENT OF PLAN

Subject to additional consents and approvals required under Applicable Law, the Plan Administrator may, at any time, modify, amend or terminate this Plan or modify or amend Awards granted under this Plan, including, without limitation, such modifications or amendments as are necessary to maintain compliance with the Applicable Laws.

The capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan. This Agreement is subject to any rules promulgated pursuant to the Plan by the Board or the Committee to the extent applicable to inducement awards and communicated to the Grantee in writing.

b. An additional one-third (1/3) of the total Awarded Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) shall vest on the second anniversary of the Date of Grant, provided that the Grantee has continuously provided services to the Group as an employee, independent contractor or member of the Board through that date.

c. The remaining Awarded Shares shall vest on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, provided that the Grantee has continuously provided services to the Group as an employee, independent contractor or member of the Board through that date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all of the then unvested Awarded Shares shall vest effective immediately prior to the consummation of a Change in Control, provided that the Grantee has continuously provided services to the Group as an employee, independent contractor or member of the Board through the date of the consummation of the Change in Control.

For purposes hereof, “Change in Control” shall mean either of the following:

(b) The consummation by the Company (whether directly involving the Company or indirectly involving the Company through one or more intermediaries) of (x) a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or business combination or (y) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in any single transaction or series of related transactions or (z) the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity, in each case other than a transaction:

(ii) after which no person or group beneficially owns voting securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity; provided, however, that no person or group shall be treated for purposes of this clause (ii) as beneficially owning 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity solely as a result of the voting power held in the Company prior to the consummation of the transaction.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Subsidiary” means any entity, whether domestic or foreign, in an unbroken chain of entities beginning with the Company if each of the entities other than the last entity in the unbroken chain beneficially owns, at the time of the determination, securities or interests representing at least 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of securities or interests in one of the other entities in such chain.

For purposes hereof, “Cause” shall mean, unless otherwise defined in an employment agreement with respect to the termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company (in which case such cause definition and process shall apply in lieu of this paragraph), the occurrence of one or more of the following events, as determined by the Committee in its good faith: (i) misconduct or material failure or refusal to perform (other than by reason of disability or an approved leave of absence), or substantial negligence in the performance of, his or her duties and responsibilities to the Company or any member of the Group; (ii) the Grantee’s material breach of any restrictive covenant agreement between the Grantee and any member of the Group; (iii) the Grantee’s commission of an act or acts constituting a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude or that has or reasonably could be expected to have an adverse effect on any member of the Group, including economically or reputationally; (iv) the Grantee’s commission of fraud, embezzlement, theft or other act involving dishonesty; (v) other conduct by the Grantee that is or could be reasonably expected to be materially harmful to the business interests or reputation of any member of the Group; (vi) the Grantee’s breach of a fiduciary duty owed to the Company or a member of the Group, including acting in conflict with the business interests of any member of the Group; or (vii) the Grantee’s material breach of this Agreement or an employment policy or code of conduct of member of the Group. In the event of Grantee’s termination of service as an employee, independent contractor or member of the Board by the Group for Cause, all of the vested Awarded Shares shall be forfeited on the date of such termination. If, within six months following the Grantee’s termination of service with the Group as an employee, independent contractor or member of the Board for any reason other than for Cause, it is discovered that the Grantee’s employment or service could have been terminated for Cause, Grantee’s employment or service shall, at the discretion of the Committee, be deemed to have been terminated for Cause for all purposes under the Plan, and the Grantee shall be required to repay to the Company all amounts received by the Grantee and his or her permitted transferees in connection with Awarded Shares following such termination that would have been forfeited under the Plan had such termination been for Cause.

3. Forfeiture of Awarded Shares. Awarded Shares that are not vested in accordance with Section 2 shall be forfeited on the date of the Grantee’s termination of service with the Group as an employee, independent contractor or member of the Board (the “Termination Date”).

4. Restrictions on Awarded Shares. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, from the Date of Grant until the date the Awarded Shares are vested in accordance with Section 2 and are no longer subject to forfeiture in accordance with Section 3 (the “Restriction Period”), the Grantee shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, or assign any of the Awarded Shares. Except for these limitations, the Committee may in its sole discretion, remove any or all of the restrictions on such Awarded Shares whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in Applicable Laws or other changes in circumstances arising after the date of this Agreement, such action is appropriate.

5. Legend. Awarded Shares electronically registered in a Grantee’s name shall note that such shares are Restricted Stock. If certificates for Awarded Shares are issued, the following legend shall be placed on all such certificates:

On the face of the certificate:

“Transfer of this stock is restricted in accordance with conditions printed on the reverse of this certificate.”

On the reverse:

“The shares of stock evidenced by this certificate are subject to and transferable only in accordance with that certain Inducement Restricted Stock Award dated as of ____________, 20__, by and between the Company and ______________, a copy of which is on file at the principal office of the Company in Tel-Aviv, Israel. No transfer or pledge of the shares evidenced hereby may be made except in accordance with and subject to the provisions of said Plan and Award Agreement. By acceptance of this certificate, any holder, transferee or pledgee hereof agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of said Plan and Award Agreement.”

The following legend shall be inserted on a certificate, if issued, evidencing Common Stock issued under this Agreement if the shares were not issued in a transaction registered under the applicable federal and state securities laws:

“Shares of stock represented by this certificate have been acquired by the holder for investment and not for resale, transfer or distribution, have been issued pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of applicable state and federal securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold or transferred other than pursuant to effective registration under such laws, or in transactions otherwise in compliance with such laws, and upon evidence satisfactory to the Company of compliance with such laws, as to which the Company may rely upon an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company.”

All Awarded Shares owned by the Grantee shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall be represented by a certificate or certificates bearing the foregoing legend.

6. Delivery of Certificates. If requested by the Grantee, the Company shall deliver certificates for the Awarded Shares free of restriction under this Agreement promptly after, and only after, the Restriction Period has expired without forfeiture pursuant to Section 4. In connection with the issuance of a certificate for Restricted Stock, the Grantee shall endorse such certificate in blank or execute a stock power in a form satisfactory to the Company in blank and deliver such certificate and executed stock power to the Company.

7. Clawback. Notwithstanding Section 2, if the Grantee is an executive officer (as defined under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules) of the Company at any time after the Date of Grant and the Company is required to restate its financial statements, then the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time within two years following such restatement, require the Grantee to, and the Grantee shall immediately upon notice of such Committee determination, return to the Company any Awarded Shares and pay to the Company in cash the amount of any proceeds received by the Grantee from the disposition or transfer of, and any dividends or other distributions of cash or property received by the Grantee with respect to, any Awarded Shares, in each case during the period commencing two years before the beginning of the restated financial period and ending on the date of such Committee determination. In addition, any portion of the Awarded Shares that is not vested or has not been exercised by the Grantee on the date that the Committee makes such determination shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited. The Committee shall have the authority and discretion to make any determination regarding the specific implementation of this Section 7 with respect to the Grantee. In addition to this Section 7, this Agreement, the Awarded Shares shall be fully subject to the terms and conditions of any “clawback” or compensation recovery policy that is in effect or may later be adopted by the Company in its discretion or imposed under Applicable Laws, each as may be amended and in effect from time to time.

8. Rights of a Stockholder. Except as provided in Section 4 and Section 5 above, the Grantee shall have, with respect to his Awarded Shares, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares, and the right to receive any dividends thereon.

The “Date of Grant” of this Stock Option is [___]. The “Option Period” shall commence on the Date of Grant and shall expire on the date immediately preceding the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Date of Grant, unless terminated earlier in accordance with Section 4 below.

2. Subject to Plan.

The capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan.

4. Term; Forfeiture.

a. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, to the extent the unexercised portion of the Stock Option relates to Optioned Shares which are not vested on the date of the Optionee’s termination of service with the Group as an employee, independent contractor or member of the Board (“Termination of Service”), the Stock Option will be terminated on that date.

viii. 5 p.m. on the date the Company causes any portion of the Stock Option to be forfeited pursuant to Section 7 hereof.

Any reference in this agreement to a specific time shall refer to the time zone in which a Optionee is residing as of the date in question.

b. For the purposes hereof, “Cause” shall mean, unless otherwise defined in an employment agreement with respect to the termination of the Optionee’s employment with the Company (in which case such cause definition and process shall apply in lieu of this paragraph), the occurrence of one or more of the following events, as determined by the Committee in its good faith: (i) misconduct or material failure or refusal to perform (other than by reason of disability or an approved leave of absence), or substantial negligence in the performance of, his or her duties and responsibilities to the Company or any member of the Group; (ii) the Optionee’s material breach of any restrictive covenant agreement between the Optionee and any member of the Group; (iii) the Optionee’s commission of an act or acts constituting a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude or that has or reasonably could be expected to have an adverse effect on any member of the Group, including economically or reputationally; (iv) the Optionee’s commission of fraud, embezzlement, theft or other act involving dishonesty; (v) other conduct by the Optionee that is or could be reasonably expected to be materially harmful to the business interests or reputation of any member of the Group; (vi) the Optionee’s breach of a fiduciary duty owed to the Company or a member of the Group, including acting in conflict with the business interests of any member of the Group; or (vii) the Optionee’s material breach of this Agreement or an employment policy or code of conduct of member of the Group. If, within six months following the Optionee’s Termination of Service for any reason other than for Cause, it is discovered that the Optionee’s employment or service could have been terminated for Cause, such Optionee’s employment or service shall, at the discretion of the Committee, be deemed to have been terminated for Cause for all purposes under the Plan, and the Optionee shall be required to repay to the Company all amounts received by the Optionee and his or her permitted transferees in connection with the Optioned Shares following such termination that would have been forfeited under the Plan had such termination been for Cause.

5. Who May Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 3 and 4 above, during the lifetime of the Optionee, the Stock Option may be exercised only by the Optionee, or by the Optionee’s guardian or personal or legal representative. If the Optionee’s Termination of Service is due to death prior to the dates specified in Section 4.a. hereof, and the Optionee has not exercised the Stock Option as to the maximum number of vested Optioned Shares as set forth in Section 3 hereof as of the date of death, the personal representative of such Optionee’s estate may exercise the exercisable portion of the Stock Option at any time prior to the earliest of the dates specified in Section 4.a. hereof; provided that the Stock Option shall remain subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Plan, and Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations.

6. No Fractional Shares. The Stock Option may be exercised only with respect to full shares, and no fractional share of stock shall be issued.

7. Manner of Exercise. Subject to such administrative regulations as the Committee may from time to time adopt, the Stock Option may be exercised by the delivery of written notice to the Committee setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Option is to be exercised, the date of exercise thereof (the “Exercise Date”) which shall be at least two (2) days after giving such notice unless an earlier time shall have been mutually agreed upon. On the Exercise Date, the Optionee shall deliver to the Company consideration with a value equal to the total Option Price of the shares to be purchased, payable as follows: (a) cash, check, bank draft, or money order payable to the order of the Company; (b) if the Company, in its sole discretion, so consents in writing, Common Stock owned by the Optionee on the Exercise Date, valued at its Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, and which the Optionee has not acquired from the Company within six (6) months prior to the Exercise Date; (c) if the Company, in its sole discretion, so consents in writing, having the Company retain from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Stock Option a number of shares of Common Stock having a value (determined pursuant to rules established by the Company in its discretion) equal to the total Option Price of the shares to be purchased (a “net exercise”); and/or (d) in any other form of valid consideration that is acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion.

Upon payment of all amounts due from the Optionee, the Company shall cause the Common Stock then being purchased to be registered in the Optionee’s name (or such person as designated in writing by the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate in the event of the Optionee’s death) promptly after the Exercise Date, unless the Optionee, or such other person, requests, in writing, delivery of the certificates for the Common Stock in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee, which procedures shall apply to this Award unless otherwise provided by the Committee. The obligation of the Company to register or deliver shares of Common Stock shall, however, be subject to the condition that if at any time the Company shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration, or qualification of the Stock Option or the Common Stock upon any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the Stock Option or the issuance or purchase of shares of Common Stock thereunder, then the Stock Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not reasonably acceptable to the Committee.

Subject to Section 8, below, if the Optionee fails to pay for any of the Optioned Shares specified in such notice or fails to accept delivery thereof, that portion of the Optionee’s Stock Option and right to purchase such Optioned Shares may be forfeited by the Optionee.

8. Automatic Exercise. To the extent the vested and exercisable portion of the Stock Option remains unexercised as of 5 p.m. on the date the Stock Option expires as determined in accordance with Section 4 above, that portion of the Stock Option will be exercised without any action by the Optionee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement if the Fair Market Value of all the vested Option Shares on that date is at least $100 (USD) greater than the sum of the Option Price for all the vested Option Shares. In such case, the Option Price shall be satisfied in the method determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, including whether or not by a net exercise.

9. Nonassignability. The Stock Option is not assignable or transferable by the Optionee except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution

10. Clawback. Notwithstanding Sections 3, 4 and 7, if the Optionee is an executive officer (as defined under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules) of the Company at any time after the Date of Grant and the Company is required to restate its financial statements, then the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time within two years following such restatement, require the Optionee to, and the Optionee shall immediately upon notice of such Committee determination, return to the Company any Optioned Shares or shares of Common Stock received by the Optionee under this Agreement and pay to the Company in cash the amount of any proceeds received by the Optionee from the disposition or transfer of, and any dividends or other distributions of cash or property received by the Optionee with respect to, any Optioned Shares or shares of Common Stock under this Agreement, in each case during the period commencing two years before the beginning of the restated financial period and ending on the date of such Committee determination. In addition, any portion of the Option or the Optioned Shares that is not vested or has not been exercised by the Optionee on the date that the Committee makes such determination shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited. The Committee shall have the authority and discretion to make any determination regarding the specific implementation of this Section 10 with respect to the Optionee. In addition to this Section 10, this Agreement, the Option and the Optioned Shares shall be fully subject to the terms and conditions of any “clawback” or compensation recovery policy that is in effect or may later be adopted by the Company in its discretion or imposed under Applicable Laws, each as may be amended and in effect from time to time.

11. Rights as Stockholder. The Optionee will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any of the Optioned Shares until the issuance of a certificate or certificates to the Optionee, or the registration of such shares in the Optionee’s name, for the shares of Common Stock. The Optioned Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the issuance of such certificate or certificates. The Optionee, by executing this Agreement, agrees to execute any documents requested by the Company in connection with the issuance of the shares of Common Stock.

12. Adjustment of Number of Optioned Shares and Related Matters. The number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Stock Option, and the Option Prices thereof, shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan.

13. Nonqualified Stock Option. The Stock Option shall not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option.

14. Investment Representation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Optionee hereby represents and warrants to the Company, that:

a. The Common Stock that will be received upon the exercise of the Stock Option are acquired for investment purposes only for the Optionee’s own account and not with a view to or in connection with any distribution, re-offer, resale, or other disposition not in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and applicable state securities laws;

The Optionee further understands that, subject to Section 27 below, the Common Stock underlying the Stock Option must be held indefinitely unless it is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available;

f. Except as set forth in Section 15 below, the Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Common Stock underlying the Stock Option and that the certificates evidencing such Common Stock will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of such Common Stock unless it is registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and any other legend required under applicable state securities laws; and

18. No Right to Continue Service or Employment. Nothing herein shall be construed to confer upon the Optionee the right to continue in the employ or to provide services to the Company or the Group, whether as an employee, independent contractor or member of the Board, or interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company or the Group to discharge the Optionee as an employee, independent contractor or member of the Board at any time.

19. Legal Construction.

If, within six months following the Grantee’s Termination of Service for any reason other than for Cause, it is discovered that the Grantee ‘s employment or service could have been terminated for Cause, such Grantee’s employment or service shall, at the discretion of the Committee, be deemed to have been terminated for Cause for all purposes under the Plan, and the Grantee shall be required to repay to the Company all amounts received by the Grantee and his or her permitted transferees in connection with Awarded Units following such Termination that would have been forfeited under the Plan had such Termination been for Cause.

d.

5. No Fractional Shares. Awarded Units may be converted only with respect to full shares, and no fractional share of Common Stock shall be issued.

In addition to this Section 7, this Agreement, the Awarded Units shall be fully subject to the terms and conditions of any “clawback” or compensation recovery policy that may be adopted by the Company in its discretion or imposed under Applicable Laws, each as may be amended and in effect from time to time.

8. Dividend Equivalent Rights. Subject to the restrictions, limitations and conditions described in the Plan, if cash dividends are paid in respect of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Awarded Units, then a dividend equivalent equal to the amount paid will be converted into an equivalent number of Awarded Units (“Dividend Equivalent Rights”), which will accrue with respect to the Awarded Units at the same time and in the same amount as cash dividends are paid to owners of shares of Common Stock. Interest shall not be credited on accrued Dividend Equivalent Rights. Dividend Equivalent Rights will (i) vest on the same vesting dates, as provided in Section 2, as the associated Awarded Units, (b) be distributed in cash or shares, as determined by the Company, within 30 days thereafter except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and in the Plan and (iii) be subject to the clawback provisions in Section 7 above in the same manner as dividends.

9. Rights of a Stockholder. The Grantee will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by this Agreement until the issuance of a certificate or certificates to the Grantee or the registration of such shares in the Grantee’s name for the shares of Common Stock. The Awarded Units shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8 hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the issuance of such certificate or certificates. The Grantee , by his execution of this Agreement, agrees to execute any documents requested by the Company in connection with the conversion of the Awarded Units into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement.

10. Adjustment of Number of Awarded Units and Related Matters. The number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Awarded Units shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 8.1 of the Plan.

11. Grantee’s Representations. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Grantee hereby agrees that the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock to the Grantee hereunder, if the issuance of such shares shall constitute a violation by the Grantee or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. Any determination in this connection by the Company shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The rights and obligations of the Company and the rights and obligations of the Grantee are subject to all Applicable Laws.

12. Grantee’s Acknowledgments. The Grantee acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available for his review by the Company, and represents that he is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Award subject to all the terms and provisions thereof. The Grantee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive, and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee or the Board, as appropriate, upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement.

14. No Right to Continue Service or Employment. Nothing herein shall be construed to confer upon the Grantee the right to continue in the employ or to provide services to the Company or the Group, whether as an employee, independent contractor, or member of the Board, or interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company or the Group to discharge the Grantee as an employee, independent contractor or member of the Board at any time.

17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the Plan supersede any and all other prior understandings and agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and constitute the sole and only agreements between the parties with respect to the said subject matter. All prior negotiations and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof are merged into this Agreement. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any party or by anyone acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied in this Agreement or the Plan and that any agreement, statement, or promise that is not contained in this Agreement or the Plan shall not be valid or binding or of any force or effect.

Tel Aviv, Israel 6744832

Attn: Craig Shore

b. Notice to the Grantee shall be addressed and delivered as set forth on the signature page.

23. Section 409A; Six Month Delay. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of a distribution of shares of Common Stock on account of any Termination of Service, other than death, a distribution of the number of such shares, determined after application of the withholding requirements set forth in Section 24 below, on behalf of the Grantee, if the Grantee is a “specified employee” as defined in § 1.409A-1(i) of the Final Regulations under Section 409A of the Code, to the extent otherwise required under Section 409A of the Code, shall not occur until the date which is six (6) months following the date of the Grantee’s Termination of Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Grantee).

24. Tax Requirements. The Grantee is hereby advised to consult immediately with his own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of this Agreement. Unless the Company otherwise consents in writing to an alternative withholding method, the Company, or if applicable, any Subsidiary (for purposes of this Section 24, the term “Company” shall be deemed to include any applicable Subsidiary) shall have the right to deduct from all amounts paid in cash or other form in connection with the Plan, any federal, state, local, or other taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with this Agreement. The Grantee may elect to have the Company withhold an additional amount up to the maximum statutory amount in accordance with Company procedures, provided such withholding does not trigger liability accounting under applicable accounting rules and does not violate Section 409A of the Code. The Company shall withhold the number of shares to be delivered upon the conversion of the Awarded Units with an aggregate Fair Market Value that equals the amount of any federal, state, local, or other taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with this Agreement. However, if the Grantee is a “specified employee” as defined in §1.409A-1(i) of the Final Regulations under Section 409A of the Code who is subject to the six (6) months delay provided for in Section 24 above, the Company shall withhold the number of shares attributable to the employment taxes on the date of the Grantee’s Termination of Service and withhold the number of shares attributable to the income taxes on the date which occurs six (6) months following the date of the Grantee’s Termination of Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Grantee). In no event will the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock to be withheld and/or delivered pursuant to this Section 24 to satisfy applicable withholding taxes exceed the maximum amount of taxes required to be withheld.

The Company may, in its sole discretion and prior to the date of conversion, also permit the Grantee receiving shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Awarded Units to pay the Company the amount of any taxes that the Company is required to withhold in connection with the Grantee’s income arising with respect to this Agreement. Such payments shall be required to be made prior to the delivery of any certificate representing shares of Common Stock. Such payment, if the Company, in its sole discretion, so consents in writing, may be made by (i) the delivery of cash to the Company in an amount that equals or exceeds (to avoid the issuance of fractional shares under (iii) below) the required tax withholding obligations of the Company; (ii) the actual delivery by the Grantee to the Company of shares of Common Stock that the Grantee has not acquired from the Company within six (6) months prior to the date of conversion, which shares so delivered have an aggregate Fair Market Value that equals or exceeds (to avoid the issuance of fractional shares under (iii) below) the required tax withholding payment; (iii) the Company’s withholding of a number of shares to be delivered upon the conversion of the Awarded Units, which shares so withheld have an aggregate Fair Market Value that equals (but does not exceed) the required tax withholding payment; or (iv) any combination of (i), (ii), or (iii). The Company may, in its sole discretion, withhold any such taxes from any other cash remuneration otherwise paid by the Company to the Grantee .
