Item 4.  Description of Securities.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
Delaware law generally permits the registrant to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. With respect to actions by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit is brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper. To the extent that a former or present director or officer is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding subject to the Delaware corporate statute’s indemnification provisions, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
 
Delaware law provides that expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. A Delaware corporation has the discretion to decide whether or not to advance expenses, unless provided otherwise in its certificate of incorporation or by-laws.
 
The registrant’s Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that it shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized under Delaware law, and that the registrant will advance expenses to any officer or director in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the registrant.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
 
(a)           The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
 
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
 
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
 
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
 
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;
 
provided, however, that subparagraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in the periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
 
 
 

 
 
 
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
 
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Exhibit 4.1
 
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
 
OF
 
MICRONET ENERTEC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
 
January 31, 2002
 
As amended April 23, 2002, October 17, 2002, March 14, 2013 and October 1, 2014
 
The undersigned, for the purpose of organizing a corporation for conducting the business and promoting the purposes hereinafter stated, under the provisions and subject to the requirements of the laws of the State of Delaware (particularly Chapter 1, Title 8 of the Delaware Code and the acts amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto, and known, identified, and referred to as the “General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware”), hereby certifies that:
 
ARTICLE I
 
NAME OF CORPORATION
 
The name of the corporation is Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. (the “Corporation”).
 
ARTICLE II
 
REGISTERED OFFICE
 
The address, including street, number, city, and county, of the registered office of the corporation in the State of Delaware is 615 South DuPont Highway, Dover, Delaware 19901, County of Kent; and the name of the registered agent of the corporation  in the State of Delaware at such address is National Corporate Research, Ltd.
 
ARTICLE III
 
PURPOSE
 
The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of  Delaware (the “GCL”).
 
ARTICLE IV
 
AUTHORIZED STOCK
 
The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue shall be thirty million (30,000,000) shares, of which twenty five million (25,000,000) shares shall be common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and five million (5,000,000) shares shall be preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). All of the shares of Common Stock shall be of one class.
 
 
 

 
 
Upon the Certificate of Amendment becoming effective pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Date”), the Corporation shall implement a reverse stock split of its Common Stock (the “Reverse Split”), whereby every two (2) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding of record immediately prior to the Effective Date (the “Old Common Stock”) shall be automatically reclassified as, and converted into, one (1) share of Common Stock (the “New Common Stock”).
 
Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing paragraph, no fractional shares of New Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. In lieu of receipt of fractional shares in the Reverse Split, each holder shall receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the fractional share of New Common Stock that a holder would otherwise be entitled to, multiplied by (ii) a price determined by the Board in its discretion as the fair market value per share of New Common Stock on the business day prior to the effective date of this Certificate of Amendment.
 
Each stock certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Date represented shares of Old Common Stock shall, from and after the Effective Date, be exchanged for a stock certificate that represents that number of whole shares of New Common Stock into which the shares of Old Common Stock represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified; provided, however, that the Reverse Split will occur without any further action on the part of stockholders and without regard to the date or dates on which certificates formerly representing shares of Old Common Stock are physically surrendered. Upon the consummation of the Reverse Split, each certificate formerly representing shares of Old Common Stock, until surrendered and exchanged for certificates representing shares of New Common Stock, will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of the resulting number of shares of New Common Stock.
 
The shares of Preferred Stock shall be undesignated Preferred Stock and may be issued from time to time in one or more series pursuant to a resolution or resolutions providing for such issuance and duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, authority to do so being hereby expressly vested in the Corporation's Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors is further authorized to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock and to fix the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock and the designation of any such series of Preferred Stock.  The Board of Directors of the Corporation, within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series, may increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares in any such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series.
 
The authority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation with respect to each  such class or series of Preferred Stock shall include, without limitation of the foregoing, the right to determine and fix:
 
the distinctive designation of such class or series and the number of shares to constitute such class or series;
 
 
 

 
 
the rate at which dividends on the shares of such class or series shall be declared and paid or set aside for payment, whether dividends at the rate so determined shall be cumulative or accruing, and whether the shares of such class or series shall be entitled to any participating or other dividends in addition to dividends at the rate so determined, and if so, on what terms;
 
the right or obligation, if any, of the Corporation to redeem shares of the particular class or series of Preferred Stock and, if redeemable, the price, terms and manner of such redemption;
 
the special and relative rights and preferences, if any, and the amount or amounts per share, which the shares of such class or series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation;
 
the terms and conditions, if any, upon which shares of such class or series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of capital stock of any other class or series, including the price or prices or the rate or rates of conversion or exchange and the terms of adjustment, if any;
 
the obligation, if any, of the Corporation to retire, redeem or purchase shares of such class or series pursuant to a sinking fund or fund of a similar nature or otherwise, and the terms and conditions of such obligations;
 
voting rights, if any, on the issuance of additional shares of such class or series or any shares of any other class or series of Preferred Stock;
 
limitations, if any, on the issuance of additional shares of such class or series or any shares of any other class or series of Preferred Stock;
 
such other preferences, powers, qualifications, special or relative rights and privileges thereof as the Board of Directors of the Corporation, acting in accordance with this Certificate of Incorporation, may deem advisable and are not inconsistent with the law and the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation.
 
ARTICLE V
 
INCORPORATOR
 
The incorporator of the Corporation is Kaplan Gottbetter & Levenson, LLP, having a mailing address of 630 Third Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10017.
 
 
 

 
 
ARTICLE VI
 
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
 
The election of directors of the Corporation need not be by written ballot unless otherwise required by the by-laws of the Corporation.
 
ARTICLE VII
 
BY-LAWS
 
In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the laws of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors of the Corporation is expressly authorized  to make, alter and repeal by-laws of the Corporation, subject to the power of the stockholders of the Corporation to alter or repeal any by-law, whether adopted by them or otherwise.
 
ARTICLE VIII
 
NUMBER OF DIRECTORS
 
The number of directors that constitutes the entire Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be as specified in the by-laws of the Corporation.
 
ARTICLE IX
 
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
 
Meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the by-laws of the Corporation may provide.  The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any provisions of applicable statutes) outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
 
ARTICLE X
 
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS;
 
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS;
 
PERSONAL LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS
 
The Corporation shall indemnify each of the Corporation's directors and officers in each and every situation where, under Section 145 of the GCL, as amended from time to time (“Section 145”), the Corporation is permitted or empowered to make such indemnification. The Corporation may, in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, indemnify any other person who may be indemnified pursuant to Section 145 to the extent that the Board of Directors deems advisable, as permitted by Section 145.
 
No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director of the Corporation (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the GCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  If the GCL is subsequently amended to further eliminate or limit the liability of a director, then a director of  the  Corporation, in addition to the circumstances in which a director is not personally liable as set forth in the preceding sentence, shall not be liable to the fullest extent permitted by the amended GCL.  For purposes of this Article X, “fiduciary duty as a director” shall include any fiduciary duty arising out of service at the Corporation's request as a director of another corporation,  partnership, joint venture or other enterprise, and “personal liability to the Corporation or its stockholders” shall include any liability to such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise and any liability to the Corporation in its capacity as a security holder, joint venturer, partner, beneficiary, creditor or investor of or in any such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
 
 
 

 
 
Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article X nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article X shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article X in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article X, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.
 
ARTICLE XI
 
COMPROMISE OR ARRANGEMENT
 
Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of this Corporation or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under Section 291 of the GCL or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under Section 279 of the GCL, order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs.  If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of this Corporation as consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation as the case may be, and also on this Corporation.
 
 
 

 
 
ARTICLE XII
 
AMENDMENT OF PROVISIONS OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
 
The Corporation reserves the right at any time, and from time to time, to amend, alter, change or repeal any provisions contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, and other provisions authorized by the State of Delaware at the time in force may be added or inserted, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

1.
NAME AND PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
 
 
1.1
This plan, as amended from time to time, shall be known as the Lapis Technologies, Inc.  2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan” or the “Plan”).
 
 
1.2
The Plan is intended as an incentive to retain in the employ of, and as directors, consultants and advisors to Lapis Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and its subsidiaries (including any “employing company” under Section 102(a) of the Ordinance (as hereinafter defined) and any “subsidiary” within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), persons of training, experience and ability, to attract new employees, directors, consultants and advisors whose services are considered valuable, to encourage the sense of proprietorship and to stimulate the active interest of such persons in the development and financial success of the Company and its Subsidiaries, by granting to such persons options (the “Options”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Stock”, and the grant of Options to purchase shares of Stock, the “Award”).
 
 
1.3
Options granted under this Plan to Israeli residents shall be granted pursuant to the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version), 1961, as amended, including the Law Amending the Income Tax Ordinance (Number 132), 2002 (the “Ordinance”)  and any regulations, rules or orders or procedures promulgated thereunder (the “Rules”).
 
 
1.4
The Company intends that the Plan meet the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (“Rule 16b-3”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and that transactions of the type specified in subparagraphs (c) to (f) inclusive of Rule 16b-3 by officers and directors of the Company pursuant to the Plan will be exempt from the operation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.  Further, the Plan is intended to satisfy the performance-based compensation exception to the limitation on the Company’s tax deductions imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code with respect to those Options for which qualification for such exception is intended and to comply with Code Sections 409A and 422.  In all cases, the terms, provisions, conditions and limitations of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted consistent with the Company’s intent as stated in this Section 1.
 
 
 

 
 
2.
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.
 
 
2.1
The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) may appoint and maintain as administrator of the Plan a Committee (the “Committee”) consisting of two or more directors who are, to the extent required under applicable law, “Non-Employee Directors” (as such term is defined in Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) and “Outside Directors” (as such term is defined in Section 162(m) of the Code), which shall serve at the pleasure of the Board.  If the Committee is appointed, the Committee, subject to Sections 4 and 8 hereof, shall have full power and authority to designate recipients of Options, to determine the terms and conditions of respective Option agreements (which need not be identical) (the “Option Agreements”), including the vesting schedule of the Options, which may be performance based (the “Vesting Schedule”) to interpret the provisions and supervise the administration of the Plan, to accelerate the right to exercise, in whole or in part, any previously granted Option, to grant new options in exchange for existing Options (subject to Section 15 and to the extent that such exchange does not cause the Options to be subject to Code Section 409A) to determine whether an Award has been earned (if performance requirements must be satisfied) and to make technical amendments to the Plan including amendments required under the Code.  The Committee may also amend the terms of any Option theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall impair the rights of any Optionee without the Optionee’s consent.
 
 
2.2
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall interpret the Plan and all Options granted under the Plan, shall make such rules as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan, shall make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan and shall correct any defects or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Options granted under the Plan in the manner and to the extent that the Committee deems desirable to carry into effect the Plan or any Options.
 
 
2.3
Subject to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws, as amended, the act or determination of a majority of the members of the Committee shall be the act or determination of the Committee and any decision reduced to writing and signed by all of the members of the Committee shall be fully effective as if such decision had been made by the Committee at a meeting duly called and held.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, any action taken or determination made by the Committee pursuant to this and the other Sections of the Plan shall be conclusive on all parties.
 
 
2.4
The Committee may delegate to one or more executive officers of the Company the authority to grant an Award under the Plan to persons eligible to receive such Awards other than an officer or director of the Company or any other person whose transactions in the Company’s Stock are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act (an “Insider”).
 
 
2.5
In the event that for any reason the Committee is unable to act or if the Committee at the time of any grant, award or other acquisition under the Plan of Options or Stock as hereinafter defined does not consist of two or more Non-Employee Directors, or if there shall be no such Committee, then the Plan shall be  administered by the Board, and references herein to the Committee (except in the proviso to this sentence) shall be deemed to be references to the Board, and any such grant, award or other acquisition may be approved or ratified in any other manner contemplated by subparagraph (d) of Rule 16b-3; provided, however, that options granted to the Company’s principal executive officer or to any of the Company’s other three most highly compensated officers (other than the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer) that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code may only be granted by the Committee.
 
 
 

 
 
3.
SCOPE OF THE PLAN.
 
 
3.1
Subject to the terms of Section 3.3 hereof, the total number of shares of Stock reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to this Plan will be 750,000, all of which can be Incentive Options.  In addition, if shares of Stock are subject to an Award that terminates without such shares of Stock being issued, then such shares of Stock will again be available for grant and issuance under this Plan.  Should any Option expire or be canceled prior to its exercise in full or should the number of shares of Stock to be delivered upon the exercise in full of an Option be reduced for any reason, the shares of Stock theretofore subject to such Option may be subject to future Options under the Plan, except where such reissuance is inconsistent with the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code.
 
 
3.2
The Company will, at all times, reserve and keep available the number of shares of Stock necessary to satisfy the requirements of all Awards then outstanding under this Plan.  The shares of Stock subject to the Plan shall consist of unissued shares, treasury shares or previously issued shares held by any Subsidiary of the Company, and such amount of shares of Stock shall be and is hereby reserved for such purpose.  Any of such shares of Stock that may remain unsold and that are not subject to outstanding Options at the termination of the Plan shall cease to be reserved for the purposes of the Plan, but until termination of the Plan the Company shall at all times reserve a sufficient number of shares of Stock to meet the requirements of the Plan.
 
 
3.3
In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock  dividend, or other change in corporate structure affecting the Stock, the Committee shall make an appropriate and equitable adjustment in the number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and in the number and option price of shares subject to outstanding Options granted under the Plan, to the end that after such event each Optionee’s proportionate interest shall be maintained as immediately before the occurrence of such event. The adjustments described above will be made only to the extent consistent with continued qualification of the Option under Section 422 of the Code (in the case of an Incentive Option) and Section 409A of the Code (in the case of grantees potentially subject to Section 409A of the Code).
 
4.
ELIGIBILITY.
 
 
4.1
The persons eligible for participation in the Plan as recipients of Options (the “Optionees”) shall include employees, officers and directors of, and, subject to their meeting the eligibility requirements to participate in an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act (as defined below), consultants and advisors to, the Company or any Subsidiary.
 
 
 

 
 
 
4.2
In selecting Optionees, and in determining the number of shares to be covered by each Option granted to Optionees, the Committee may consider any factors it deems relevant, including without limitation, the office or position held by the Optionee or the Optionee’s relationship to the Company, the Optionee’s degree of responsibility for and contribution to the growth and success of the Company or any Subsidiary, the Optionee’s length of service, promotions and potential.  An Optionee who has been granted an Option hereunder may be granted an additional Option or Options, if the Committee shall so determine.
 
5.
OPTIONS GRANTED UNDER THE ORDINANCE.
 
 
5.1
Options granted under Section 102 of the Ordinance (“102 Options”) may be granted only to Israeli employees and Office Holders excluding any “Controlling Holders” as such term is defined in the Ordinance.  Options granted under Section 3(i) of the Ordinance (“3(i) Options”) may be granted only to consultants and to any Israeli employees or Office Holders who are Controlling Holders.
 
 
5.2
102 Options shall be either (a) capital gains track options under Section 102(b)(2), in which income resulting from the sale of Stock underlying the Options is taxed as capital gain (“Capital Gains Options”), (b) ordinary income track options under Section 102(b)(1), in which income resulting from the sale of Stock underlying the Options is taxed as ordinary income (“Ordinary Income Options” and, together with the Capital Gains Options, the “Approved 102 Options”) or (c) options granted pursuant to Section 102(c) (“Unapproved 102 Options”).
 
 
5.3
The Company’s election of the type of Approved 102 Options as Capital Gains Options or Ordinary Income Options granted to Optionees (the “Election”), shall be appropriately filed with the Israeli Tax Authorities (the “ITA”) before the date of  grant of an Approved 102 Option.  Such Election shall become effective beginning the first grant of an Approved 102 Option under this Plan and shall remain in effect until the end of the year following the year during which the Company first granted Approved 102 Options.  The Election shall obligate the Company to grant only the type of Approved 102 Option it has elected, and shall apply to all Optionees who were granted Approved 102 Options during the period indicated herein, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102(g) of the Ordinance.  For the avoidance of doubt, such Election shall not prevent the Company from granting Unapproved 102 Options during such period.
 
 
5.4
Without derogating from anything to the contrary contained herein, solely for the purpose of determining the tax liability pursuant to Section 102(b)(3) of the Ordinance, if at the date of grant of Approved 102 Options the Company’s shares are listed on any established stock exchange or a national market system or if the Company’s shares will be registered for trading within ninety (90) days following such date of grant, the value of a share of Stock at such date of grant shall be determined in accordance with the average value of the Company’s shares of Stock on the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of grant or on the thirty (30) trading days immediately following the date of registration for trading, as the case may be.
 
 
 

 
 
 
5.5
With respect to Unapproved 102 Option, if the Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or any Subsidiary, the Optionee shall extend to the Company and/or its Subsidiary a security or guarantee for the payment of tax due at the time of sale of shares of Stock, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 and the Rules.
 
 
5.6
Trustee.  All Approved 102 Options must be held by a person appointed by the Company to serve as a trustee and approved by the ITA in accordance with the provisions of Section 102(a) of the Ordinance (the “Trustee”) in accordance with the following:
 
 
5.6.1
Approved 102 Options which shall be granted under the Plan and/or any shares of Stock allocated or issued upon exercise of such Approved 102 Options and/or other shares of Stock received subsequently following any realization of rights, including without limitation, bonus shares, shall be allocated or issued to the Trustee and held for the benefit of the Optionees for such period of time as required by Section 102 or the Rules (the “Holding Period”).  In the case the requirements for Approved 102 Options are not met, the Approved 102 Options may be treated as Unapproved 102 Options, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 and the Rules.
 
 
5.6.2
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Trustee shall not release any shares of Stock allocated or issued upon exercise of Approved 102 Options prior to the full payment of the Optionee’s tax liabilities arising from Approved 102 Options which were granted to him and/or any shares of Stock allocated or issued upon exercise of such Options.
 
 
5.6.3
With respect to any Approved 102 Option, subject to the provisions of Section 102 and the Rules, an Optionee shall not sell or release from trust any shares of Stock received upon the exercise of an Approved 102 Option and/or any shares of Stock received subsequently following any realization of rights, including without limitation, bonus shares, until the lapse of the Holding Period required under Section 102 of the Ordinance.  Notwithstanding the above, if any such sale or release occurs during the Holding Period, the sanctions under Section 102 of the Ordinance and under the Rules shall apply to, and shall be borne by, such Optionee.
 
 
5.6.4
Upon receipt of an Approved 102 Option, the Optionee will sign an undertaking to release the Trustee from any liability in respect of any action or decision duly taken and executed in good faith in relation with the Plan or any Approved 102 Option or shares of Stock granted to him thereunder.
 
 
5.7
The grant of Approved 102 Options shall be conditioned upon the approval of this Plan by the Israeli Tax Authorities.  In addition, the provisions of the Plan and/or the Option Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the Ordinance and the Tax Assessing Officer’s permit, and the said provisions and permit shall be deemed an integral part of the Plan and of the Option Agreement.  Any provision of the Ordinance and/or the said permit which is necessary in order to receive and/or to keep any tax benefit pursuant to the Ordinance, which is not expressly specified in the Plan or the Option Agreement, shall be considered binding upon the Company and the Optionees.
 
 
 

 
 
 
5.8
The Committee shall have the authority, without limitation, to determine which method, the capital gain method or the work income method or any other method available under Section 102 of the Ordinance, shall be adopted for the purposes of the Plan and to appoint a Trustee, if the Committee deems it advisable or necessary.
 
6.
OPTIONS GRANTED UNDER THE CODE.
 
 
6.1
Options granted to employees of the Company or of one of its Subsidiaries (under Code Section 424(f)), who are not residents of the State of Israel, shall either constitute incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code (“Incentive Options”), while certain other Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be nonqualified stock options (“Nonqualified Options”).
 
 
6.2
Subject to meeting all applicable requirements, the Committee shall have the authority, without limitation, to designate which Options granted under the Plan shall be Incentive Options and which shall be Nonqualified Options.
 
 
6.3
The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be subject to Incentive Options or Nonqualified Options granted under the Plan to any individual in any calendar year shall not exceed 100,000 shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof), and the method of counting such shares shall conform to any requirements applicable to performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code; provided, however, that new employees of the Company or of any Subsidiary (including new employees who are also officers and directors of the Company or any Subsidiary), will be eligible to receive Options to purchase up to a maximum of 200,000 of the Company’s Stock in the calendar year in which they commence their employment.
 
 
6.4
The aggregate Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined), determined as of the date the Incentive Option is granted, of Stock for which Incentive Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionee during any calendar year under the Plan (and/or any other stock  option plans of the Company or any Subsidiary) shall not exceed $100,000.
 
 
6.5
Optionees shall be required as a condition of the exercise to furnish to the Company any income or payroll (employment) tax required to be withheld.  In the case of an Incentive Option, if the Optionee makes a disposition, within the meaning of Section 424(c) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder, of any share or shares of Stock issued to him upon exercise of an Incentive Option granted under the Plan within the two-year period commencing on the day after the date of the grant of such Incentive Option or within a one-year period commencing on the day after the date of transfer of the share or shares to him pursuant to the exercise  of  such Incentive Option, he shall, within 10 days after such disposition, notify the Company thereof.
 
7.
OTHER AWARDS.  All other types of Awards not referenced in Sections 5 and 6 may be granted to any employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary; provided that with respect to any consultant, however, that such consultant is a natural person and the Award is in full or partial compensation for bona fide services unconnected with any offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction.
 
 
 

 
 
8.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.  Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable:
 
 
8.1
OPTION PRICE.  The exercise price of each share of Stock purchasable under the Options shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, subject to the conditions set forth in the immediately following sentence.  The exercise price of each share of Stock purchasable under an Incentive Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of such share of Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date the Incentive Option is granted; provided, however, that with respect to an Optionee who, at the time such Incentive Option is granted, owns (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary, the exercise price per share of Stock shall be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant. The exercise price of each share of Stock purchasable under any Option other than an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such share of Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date the Option is granted; provided, however, and notwithstanding any future amendment to the minimum exercise price of a Nonqualified Option, that if an option granted to the Company’s principal executive officer or to any of the Company’s other three most highly compensated officers (other than the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer) is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, the exercise price of such Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair  Market  Value of such share of Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date the Option is granted. The exercise price for each Option shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.3 herein.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the exercise price of a share of Stock be less than the minimum price permitted under the rules and policies of any national securities exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed.
 
“Fair Market Value” means the closing  price of publicly  traded  shares of Stock on the principal securities exchange, including the Nasdaq Stock Market, on which shares of Stock are listed (if the shares of Stock are so listed), or, if not so listed, the mean between the closing bid and asked prices of publicly traded shares of Stock in the over-the-counter market, or, if such bid and asked prices shall not be available, as reported by any nationally recognized quotation service selected by the Company, or as determined by the Committee in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Code.
 
 
8.2
OPTION TERM.  The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date such Option is granted and in the case of an Incentive Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time such Incentive Option is granted, owns (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary, no such Incentive Option shall be exercisable more than five years after the date such Incentive Option is granted.
 
 
 

 
 
 
8.3
EXERCISABILITY.  Subject to Section 6.4 hereof, Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant.
 
 
8.4
METHOD OF EXERCISE.  Options to the extent then exercisable may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the option period, by giving written notice to the Company specifying the number of shares of Stock to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full of the exercise price, in cash, or by check or such other instrument as may be acceptable to the Committee.  As determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at or after grant, payment in full or in part may be made at the election of the Optionee (i) in the form of Stock owned by the Optionee (based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the trading day before the Option is exercised) which is not the subject of any pledge or security interest, (ii) in the form of shares of Stock withheld by the Company from the shares of Stock otherwise to be received with such withheld shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price of the Option, or (iii) by a combination of the foregoing, provided that the combined value of all cash and cash equivalents and the Fair Market Value of any shares surrendered to the Company is at least equal to such exercise price and except with respect to (ii) above, such method of payment will not cause a disqualifying disposition of all or a portion of the Stock received upon exercise of an Incentive Option. An Optionee shall have the right to dividends and other rights of a stockholder with respect to shares of Stock purchased upon exercise of an Option at such time as the Optionee has (i) given written notice of exercise and has paid in full for such shares and (ii) has satisfied such conditions that may be imposed by the Company with respect to the withholding of taxes.
 
 
8.5
NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS AND SHARES OF STOCK UNDERLYING OPTIONS.
 
 
8.5.1
Except as provided in Section 8.5.3 hereof, during the lifetime of an Optionee, only the Optionee (or, in the event of legal incapacity or incompetence, the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative) may exercise an Option.  Except as provided in Section 8.5.3 hereof, no Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Optionee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution except pursuant to a domestic relations order.
 
 
8.5.2
With respect to Approved 102 Options, as long as Options and/or shares of Stock are held by the Trustee on behalf of the Optionee, all rights of the Optionee over the Options and the shares of Stock are personal, and cannot be transferred, assigned, pledged or mortgaged, other than by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution.
 
 
8.5.3
An Optionee may transfer by gift all or part of an Option that is not an  Incentive Option to any “family member” (as that term is defined under Rule 701(c)(3) of the Securities Act, as amended or any successor provision of law); provided, that (x) there shall be no consideration for any such transfer and (y) subsequent transfers of transferred Options shall be prohibited except those made in accordance with this Section 8.5.3 or by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order and otherwise in compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state and foreign securities laws. Following any permitted transfer hereunder, any transferred Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to such transfer, provided that for purposes of this Section 8.5.3 the term “Optionee” shall be deemed to refer to the transferee and the transferee shall agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Options and this Plan.  The events of termination of the employment or other relationship of Section 8.9 hereof shall continue to be applied with respect to the original Optionee, following which the Option shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the extent and for the periods specified in Section 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, or 8.9 hereof.
 
 
 

 
 
 
8.6
TERMINATION BY REASON OF DEATH.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant, if any Optionee’s employment with or service to the Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of death, the Options granted to such Employee may thereafter be exercised, to the extent then exercisable (or on such accelerated basis as the Committee shall determine at or after grant), by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the Optionee under the will of the Optionee, for a period of one year after the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Option as provided under the Plan, whichever period is shorter.
 
 
8.7
TERMINATION BY REASON OF DISABILITY.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant, if any Optionee’s employment with or service to the Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of permanent and total disability within the meaning of Code Section 22(e)(3) (“Disability”), any Option held by such Optionee may thereafter be exercised, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination due to Disability (or on such accelerated basis as the Committee shall determine at or after grant), but may not be exercised after 30 days after the date of such termination of employment or service or the expiration of the stated term of such Option, whichever period is shorter;  provided, however, that, if the Optionee dies within such 30-day period, any unexercised Option held by such Optionee shall thereafter be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of one year after the date of such  death or for the stated  term of such Option, whichever period is shorter.
 
 
8.8
TERMINATION BY REASON OF RETIREMENT.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant, if any Optionee’s employment with or service to the Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of Normal or Early Retirement (as such terms are defined below), any Option held by such Optionee may thereafter be exercised to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such Retirement (or on such accelerated basis as the Committee shall determine at or after grant), but may not be exercised after 90 days after the date of such termination of employment or service or the expiration of the stated term of such Option, whichever period is shorter; provided, however, that, if the Optionee dies within such 90-day period, any unexercised Option held by such Optionee shall thereafter be exercisable, to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death, for a period of one year  after  the date of such death or for the stated term of such Option, whichever period is shorter.
 
 
 

 
 
For purposes of this paragraph, “Normal Retirement” shall mean retirement from active employment with the Company or any Subsidiary on or after the normal retirement date specified in the applicable Company or Subsidiary pension plan or if no such pension plan exists, age 65, and “Early Retirement” shall mean retirement from active employment with the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to the early retirement provisions of the applicable Company or Subsidiary pension plan or if no such pension plan exists, age 55.
 
 
8.9
OTHER TERMINATION.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant, if any Optionee’s employment with or service to the Company or any Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Normal or Early Retirement, the Option shall thereupon terminate, except that the portion of any Option that was exercisable on the date of such termination of employment or service may be exercised for the lesser of 90 days after the date of termination or the balance of such Option’s term if the Optionee’s employment or service with the Company or any Subsidiary is terminated by the Company or such Subsidiary without cause (the determination as to whether termination was for cause to be made by the Committee). The transfer of an Optionee from the employ of or service to the Company to the employ of or service to a Subsidiary, or vice versa, or from one Subsidiary to another, shall not be deemed to constitute a termination of employment or service for purposes of the Plan.  The sale or other disposition of a Subsidiary will be considered a termination of employment even if the Optionee continues to be employed by the Subsidiary.
 
 
8.10
OPTION AGREEMENT.  Each Option granted pursuant to the Plan, shall be evidenced by a written Option Agreement between the Company and the Optionee, in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve.  Each Option Agreement shall state, among other matters, the number of shares of Stock to which the Option relates, the type of Option granted thereunder (whether a Capital Gains Option, Ordinary Income Option, Unapproved 102 Option, 3(i) Option, Incentive Option or Nonqualified Option), the Vesting Dates, the exercise price per share, the expiration date and such other terms and conditions as the Committee in its discretion may prescribe, provided that they are consistent with this Plan.
 
9.
CHANGE IN CONTROL.
 
 
9.1
Upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control” (as hereinafter defined), the Committee may accelerate the vesting and exercisability of outstanding Options, in whole or in part, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  In its sole discretion, the Committee may also determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each Outstanding Option shall terminate within a specified number of days after notice to the Optionee thereunder, and each such Optionee shall receive, with respect to each share of Company Stock subject to such Option, an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of such shares upon to such Change in Control over the exercise price per share of such Option;  such amount shall be payable in cash, in one or more kinds of property (including the property, if any, payable in the transaction) or a combination thereof, as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion.
 
 
9.2
For purposes of the Plan, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if:
 
 
 

 
 
 
9.2.1
a tender offer (or series of related offers) shall be made and consummated for the ownership of 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, unless as a result of such tender offer more than 50% of the  outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting corporation shall be owned in the aggregate by the shareholders of the Company (as of the time immediately prior to the commencement of such offer), any employee  benefit plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries, and their affiliates;
