SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANT

5.1NUMBER OF SHARES.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.4, the aggregate number of shares of Stock reserved and available for grant pursuant to the Plan shall be 5,000,000.  The shares of Stock delivered pursuant to any Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized by unissued Stock, treasury Stock not reserved for any other purposes, or Stock purchased on the open market.  

5.2SHARE COUNTING.  The following rules shall apply solely for purposes of determining the number of shares of Stock available for grant under the Plan at any given time:  

(a)In the event any Award granted under the Plan is terminated, expired, forfeited, or canceled for any reason, the number of shares of Stock subject to such Award will again be available for grant under the Plan (i.e., any prior charge against the limit set forth in Section 5.1 shall be reversed).  

(b)Shares of Stock withheld or otherwise relinquished by a Participant to satisfy a tax withholding obligation arising in connection with an Award will not again become Stock available for grant under the Plan.  

(c)If the provisions of this Section 5.2 are inconsistent with the requirements of any regulations issued pursuant to Section 422 of the Code, the provisions of such regulations shall control over the provisions of this Section 5.2, but only as this Section 5.2 relates to Incentive Stock Options.  

(d)The Committee may adopt such other reasonable rules and procedures as it deems to be appropriate for determining the number of shares of Stock that are available for grant under Section 5.1. 

5.3AWARD LIMITS.  Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.4: 

(a)The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued as Incentive Stock Options under the Plan shall be the same numeric limit set forth in Section 5.1.  

5.4ADJUSTMENT IN CAPITALIZATION.  In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Stock by reason of a Stock dividend or split, recapitalization, liquidation, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, or other similar corporate change, the Committee shall make a proportionate adjustment in: (a) the number and class of shares of Stock made available for grant pursuant to Section 5.1; (b) the number of shares of Stock set forth in Section 5.3, 11.9, and any other similar numeric limit expressed in the Plan; (c) the number and class of and/or price of shares of Stock subject to then

outstanding Awards; or (d) any other terms of an Award that are affected by the event.  Moreover, in the event of such transaction or event, the Committee, in its discretion may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding awards under the Plan such alternative consideration (including cash) as it, in good faith, may determine to be equitable under the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of all Awards so replaced.  Any action taken pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be taken in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, in accordance with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.

5.5REPLACEMENT AWARDS.  In the event of any corporate transaction in which the Company or an Affiliate acquires a corporate entity which, at the time of such transaction, maintains an equity compensation plan pursuant to which awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, or any other form of equity based compensation are then outstanding (the “Acquired Plan”), the Committee may make Awards to assume, substitute or convert such outstanding awards in such manner as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee; provided, however, that the number of shares of Stock subject to any Award shall always be a whole number by rounding any fractional share to the nearest whole share.  Options issued pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall not be subject to the requirement that the exercise price of such Award not be less than the Fair Market Value of Stock on the date the Award is granted.  Shares used in connection with an Award granted in substitution for an award outstanding under an Acquired Plan under this Section 5.5 shall not be counted against the number of shares of Stock available for grant under Section 5.1.   

5.6FRACTIONAL SHARES.  No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued pursuant to the Plan.  Unless the Committee specifies otherwise in the Award Agreement, or pursuant to any policy adopted by the Committee, cash will be given in lieu of fractional shares.  In the event of adjustment as provided in Section 5.4 or the issuance of replacement awards as provided in Section 5.5, the total number of shares of Stock subject to any affected Award shall always be a whole number by rounding any fractional share to the nearest whole share.  

ARTICLE 6
STOCK OPTIONS

6.1OPTIONS.  Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Options to one or more Participants upon such terms and conditions and in such amounts, as shall be determined by the Committee.  Options are also subject to the following additional terms and conditions:  

(a)Exercise Price.  No Option shall be granted at an exercise price that is less than the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may grant an Option with an exercise price per share that is less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date to Participants who are not subject to U.S. income tax as of the Grant Date, including pursuant to any sub-plan of the Plan.  

(b)Exercise of Option.  Options shall be exercisable at such times and in such manner, and shall be subject to such restrictions or conditions, as the Committee shall in each instance approve, which need not be the same for each grant or for each Participant.  

(c)Notice of Exercise. The signing by the Participant, and delivery to the Company (at its principal office), of an exercise notice, in such form as prescribed by the Company, which will include the following: (i) the identity of the Participant, (ii) the number of Options to be exercised per each grant, and (iii) the Exercise Price to be paid (the “Notice of Exercise”). The Committee may require, as specified in the applicable Award Agreement, that the Participant provide any additional documents, forms, or declarations necessary for the Company or its Affiliates to comply with applicable laws. If the Participant fails to timely and properly deliver all such required documentation, the Company shall have the right to withhold the issuance of the shares underlying the Award, and the Participant’s right to receive such shares shall be forfeited without any further obligation or liability on the part of the Company or its Affiliates. 

(d)Term of Option.  Each Option shall expire at such time as determined by the Committee; provided, however, that no Option shall be exercisable later than the tenth (10th) anniversary the Grant Date.   

(e)Vesting Schedule.  Options that are granted on a certain date shall, subject to continued employment with or service to the Company or any of its Affiliates by the Participant, become (i) vested and exercisable, with respect to Options in accordance with the vesting schedule as shall be determined by the Board for each Participant and detailed in the respective Award Agreement. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, or except as required by applicable Law, the vesting of Options shall be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence by the Participant, and such  


3


Options shall not continue to vest during such period. Upon the lapse of such period of un-paid leave and subject to return to employment or service by Participant, the vesting shall continue and each of the remaining vesting dates shall be postponed by the number of days of such period of un-paid leave (i.e. shifting the entire remaining vesting schedule and extending it by the number of unpaid leave days). Despite the aforementioned, it is hereby clarified that statutory paid maternity/paternity leave and/or military reserve duty shall not be deemed “unpaid leave of absence” and shall not suspend or postpone the vesting of the Options.

(f)Expenses. All costs and expenses including broker fees and bank commissions, derived from the exercise of the Options or issuance of the underlying shares, shall be borne solely by the Participant. 

(g)Repricing of Options.  With the approval of the Board of Directors, (i) an Option may be amended, modified or repriced to reduce the exercise price after the Grant Date, and (ii) an Option also may be surrendered in consideration of a new Option having an exercise price below the exercise price of the Option being surrendered or exchanged. 

(h)Non-transferability of Options.  No Option may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  Further, all Options granted to a Participant shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or his or her legal representative.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its discretion, permit the transfer of an Option to a Family Member, trust or partnership, or to a charitable organization, provided that no value or consideration is received by the Participant with respect to such transfer.  

6.2INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS.  Incentive Stock Options shall be granted only to Participants who are employees and the terms of any Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to the Plan must comply with the following additional provisions of this Section 6.2:

(1)The Incentive Stock Option shall lapse ten (10) years from the Grant Date, unless an earlier time is set in the Award Agreement;   

(2)The Incentive Stock Option shall lapse upon a Termination of Employment for any reason other than the Participant’s death or Disability, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement; and   

(3)If the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment on account of Disability or death before the Option lapses pursuant to paragraph (i) or (ii) above, the Incentive Stock Option shall lapse, unless it is previously exercised, on the earlier of: (a) the scheduled termination date of the Option; or (b) twelve months after the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment on account of death or Disability.  Upon the Participant’s death or Disability, any Incentive Stock Options exercisable at the Participant’s death or Disability may be exercised by the Participant’s legal representative or representatives, by the person or persons entitled to do so pursuant to the Participant’s last will and testament, or, if the Participant fails to make testamentary disposition of such Incentive Stock Option or dies intestate, by the person or persons entitled to receive the Incentive Stock Option pursuant to the applicable laws of descent and distribution.  

(d)Individual Dollar Limitation.  The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time an Award is made) of all shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000 or such other limitation as imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code, or any successor provision. To the extent that Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant in excess of such limitation, the excess shall be considered Non-Qualified Stock Options.

(e)Ten Percent Owners.  An Incentive Stock Option may be granted to any individual who, at the Grant Date, owns stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of Stock of the Company only if such Option is granted at a price that is not less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the Grant Date and the Option is exercisable for no more than five (5) years from the Grant Date.  

(f)Right to Exercise.  Except as provided in Section 6.2(c)(iii), an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant during the Participant’s lifetime.  

(g)Limitation on Number of Shares Subject to Awards.  In accordance with Section 5.3(a), but subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.4, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued as Incentive Stock Options under the Plan shall be the same numeric limit set forth in Section 5.1.

(a)Issuance and Restrictions.  Restricted Stock shall be subject to such conditions and/or restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, limitations on transferability, the right to receive dividends, or the right to vote the Restricted Stock), which need not be the same for each grant or for each Participant.  These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, pursuant to such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise, as determined by the Committee.   

(b)Forfeiture.  Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, upon a Termination of Employment (or Termination of Service in the case of a Consultant or Director) during the applicable period of restriction, Restricted Stock that is at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited.   

(c)Evidence of Ownership for Restricted Stock.  Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine, which may include an appropriate book entry credit on the books of the Company or a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company.  If certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, the certificates must bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, and the Company may, in its discretion, retain physical possession of the certificate until such time as all applicable restrictions lapse.

9.2.4If subsequent to the Participant’s Termination of Employment, but prior to the exercise of Options granted to such Participant, the Administrator determines that either prior or subsequent to the Participant’s Termination of Employment, the Participant engaged in conduct which would constitute Cause, then the Participant’s right to exercise the Options granted to such Participant shall immediately cease upon such determination and the Options shall thereupon expire. 

9.2.5The determination by the Committee as to the occurrence of Cause shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of this Plan. 

9.2.6Death.  If Termination of Employment is by reason of death of the Participant, then (1) his/her estate, personal representative or beneficiaries may exercise the Participant’s Options, to the extent it was vested within the 60th day after the Participant’s death, at any time but not later than the first to occur of: (i) one (1) year following Participant’s death; or (ii) the end of the Term of the Options and (2) any rights upon vested Shares shall be delivered to Participant’s estate, personal representative or beneficiaries but only to the extent it was vested within the 60th day after Participant’s death.

Any and all tax consequence of such extension of such exercise periods, if any, shall be solely borne by the Participant. 

9.2.9Transfer of Employment or Services. A Participant’s right to Options or Granted Shares that were granted or issued to him or her under this Plan, shall not be terminated or expire or forfeited, and no Termination of Employment shall be deemed to occur, solely as a result of (i) the fact that the Participant’s employment or service as an employee, director or Consultant changes from the Company to an Affiliate or vice versa; or (ii) a change in Participant’s engagement status between an employee, director or Consultant and vice versa, provided in case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) above, that

(b)Transfer to Family Members.  The Committee shall have the authority to adopt a written policy that is applicable to existing Awards, new Awards, or both, which permits a Participant to transfer Awards during his or her lifetime to any Family Member.  In the event an Award is transferred as permitted by such policy, such transferred Award may not be subsequently transferred by the transferee (other than another transfer meeting the conditions set forth in the policy) except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  A transferred Award shall continue to be governed by and subject to the terms and limitations of the Plan and relevant Award Agreement, and the transferee shall be entitled to the same rights as the Participant, as if the transfer had not taken place.

No assurance is made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates that any particular tax treatment on the Date of Grant will continue to exist or that the Award would qualify at the time of vesting or exercise or disposition thereof with any particular tax treatment. The Company does not undertake or assume any liability to contest a determination or interpretation (whether written or unwritten) of any tax authorities, including in respect of the qualification under any particular tax regime or rules applying to specific tax treatment. If the Awards do not qualify under any specific tax treatment, it could result in adverse tax consequences to the Israeli Participant.
