Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may determine that the exercise of any Option(s) granted under this ISAP shall be made according to a method of exercise known as "cashless exercise", according to which method the Grantee is not required to pay the Purchase Price when exercising the Options, but simply receives such number of Shares, which total Fair Market Value equal to the total net amount of the increase in the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered under such Options Award above the Purchase Price, in Shares, according to a formula to be determined by the Board. In such event the Board, at its sole discretion and subject to applicable law, may exempt the Grantee from the payment of the par value of the Shares actually issued to him/her as a result of such exercise of Options.
|
9.3 |
The Purchase Price shall be denominated in the currency of the primary economic environment of, either the Company or the Grantee (that is the functional currency of the Company or the currency in which the Grantee is paid) as determined by the Company.
|
10.1
|
In the event of Transaction, the Awards then outstanding under the ISAP shall be assumed or substituted for an appropriate number of shares of each class of shares or other securities of the Successor Company (or a parent or subsidiary of the Successor Company) as were distributed to the shareholders of the Company in connection and with respect to the Transaction. In the case of such assumption and/or substitution of Awards, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Purchase Price of Options so as to reflect such action and all other terms and conditions of the Award Agreements shall remain unchanged, including but not limited to the Vesting Dates, all subject to the determination of the Committee or the Board, which determination shall be in their sole discretion and final. The Company shall notify the Grantee of the Transaction in such form and method as it deems applicable at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such Transaction.
|
10.2 |
Notwithstanding the above and subject to any applicable law, the Board or the Committee shall have full power and authority to determine that in certain Award Agreements there shall be a clause instructing that, if in any such Transaction as described in section 9.1 above, the Successor Company (or parent or subsidiary of the Successor Company) does not agree to assume or substitute the Awards,
the Vesting Dates shall be accelerated so that any unvested Award or any portion thereof shall be immediately vested as of the date which is ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the Transaction.
|
10.3 |
For the purposes of section 10.1(i) above, an Award shall be considered assumed or substituted if, following the Transaction, the Awards confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share underlying an Award immediately prior to the Transaction, the consideration (whether shares, options, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Transaction by holders of Shares held on the effective date of the Transaction (and if such holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Transaction is not solely ordinary shares (or their equivalent) of the Successor Company or its parent or subsidiary, the Committee may, with the consent of the Successor Company, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option subject to an Award to be solely ordinary shares (or their equivalent) of the Successor Company or its parent or subsidiary equal in Fair Market Value to the per Share consideration received by holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares in the Transaction; and provided further that the Committee may determine, in its discretion, that in lieu of such assumption or substitution of Options for options of the Successor Company or its parent or subsidiary, such Options will be substituted for any other type of asset or property including cash which is fair under the circumstances.
|
10.4 |
If the Company is voluntarily liquidated or dissolved (i) while unexercised Options subject to an Award remain outstanding under the ISAP, the Company shall immediately notify all unexercised Option holders of such liquidation, and the Option holders shall then have ten (10) days to exercise any unexercised Vested Option held by them at that time, in accordance with the exercise procedure set forth herein. Upon the expiration of such ten-days period, all remaining outstanding Options will terminate immediately; and (ii) all Restricted Shares subject to an Award, for which restrictions, including the Restriction Period, have not lapsed at such time, and any associated dividends (if any) that then remain subject to forfeiture will then be forfeited automatically prior to the consummation of such liquidation or dissolution.
|
10.5 |
If the outstanding Shares of the Company shall at any time be changed or exchanged by declaration of a share dividend (bonus shares), share split, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization, or any other like event by or of the Company, and as often as the same shall occur, then the number, class and kind of the Shares subject to the ISAP or subject to any Awards therefore granted, and the Purchase Prices of Options, shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted so as to maintain the proportionate number of Shares without changing the aggregate Purchase Price of Options, provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made by reason of the distribution of subscription rights (rights offering) on outstanding Shares. Without derogating from the foregoing, upon happening of any of the foregoing, the class and aggregate number of Shares issuable pursuant to the ISAP (as set forth in Section 8 hereof), in respect of which Options subject to Awards have not yet been exercised, shall be appropriately adjusted, all as will be determined by the Board whose determination shall be final
.
|
10.6 |
The Grantee acknowledges that in the event that the Shares shall be registered for trading in any public market, Grantee’s rights to sell the Shares may be subject to certain limitations (including a lock-up period), as will be requested by the Company or its underwriters, and the Grantee unconditionally agrees and accepts any such limitations.
|
11.1 |
Options shall be exercised by the Grantee by giving written notice to the Company and/or to any third party designated by the Company (the “
Representative
”), in such form and method as may be determined by the Company and when applicable, by the Trustee in accordance with the requirements of Section 102, which exercise shall be effective upon receipt of such notice by the Company and/or the Representative and the payment of the Purchase Price, or, in the event of cashless exercise (as described in Section 9.2 above), the surrender of portion of the Shares, at the Company’s or the Representative’s principal office. The notice shall specify the number of Options being exercised.
|
11.2 |
Options, to the extent not previously exercised, shall expire forthwith upon the earlier of: (i) the date set forth in the Award Agreement; and (ii) the expiration of any extended period in any of the events set forth in section 11.5 below.
|
11.3 |
The Options may be exercised by the Grantee in whole at any time or in part from time to time, to the extent that the Options become vested and exercisable, prior to the Expiration Date, and provided that, subject to the provisions of section 11.5 below, the Grantee is employed by or providing services (including directorship services) to the Company or any of its Affiliates, at all times during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending upon the later of: (a) the date of exercise; or (b) the applicable term specified in section 11.5 below.
|
11.4 |
Subject to the provisions of section 11.5 below, in the event of termination of Grantee’s employment or services, with the Company or any of its Affiliates, all Options granted to such Grantee will immediately expire. A notice of termination of employment or service shall be deemed to constitute termination of employment or service. For the avoidance of doubt, in case of such termination of employment or service, the unvested portion of the Grantee’s Options shall not vest and shall not become exercisable.
|
11.5 |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinabove and unless otherwise determined in the Grantee’s Award Agreement, an Option may be exercised after the date of termination of Grantee's employment or service with the Company or any Affiliates during an additional period of time beyond the date of such termination, but only with respect to the number of Vested Options at the time of such termination according to the Vesting Dates, if
:
|
(i) |
termination is due to Grantee's resignation, other than in the circumstances described in paragraph (iii) below, in which event any Vested Option still in force and unexpired may be exercised within a period of ninety (90) days after the effective date of such termination, provided that to the extent that upon termination of such ninety (90) days' period there is a lasting blackout period preventing the Grantee from exercising his/her Options, the Company's CEO or CFO may extend such ninety (90) days' period for additional limited periods until the lapse of such blackout period; or-
|
(ii)
|
termination is initiated by the Company without Cause, in which event any Vested Award still in force and unexpired may be exercised within a period of ninety (90) days after the effective date of such termination; or-
|
(iii)
|
termination is due to Grantee's retirement, in which event any Vested Award still in force and unexpired may be exercised within a period of ninety (90) days after the effective date of such termination; or-
|
(iv)
|
termination is the result of death or disability of the Grantee, in which event any Vested Award still in force and unexpired may be exercised within a period of twelve (12) months after the effective date of such termination; or –
|
(v)
|
prior to the date of such termination, the Committee shall authorize an extension of the terms of all or part of the Vested Awards beyond the date of such termination for a period not to exceed the period during which the Options by their terms would otherwise have been exercisable.
|
11.6 |
To avoid doubt, the Grantees shall not have any of the rights or privileges of shareholders of the Company in respect of any Shares purchasable upon the exercise of any Option, nor shall they be deemed to be a class of shareholders or creditors of the Company for purpose of the operation of sections 350 and 351 of the Companies Law or any successor to such section, until registration of the Grantee as holder of such Shares in the Company’s register of shareholders upon exercise of the Option in accordance with the provisions of the ISAP, but in case of Options and Shares held by the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6 of the ISAP.
|
11.7 |
Any form of Award Agreement may contain such other provisions as the Committee may, from time to time, deem advisable.
|
11.8 |
With respect to Unapproved 102 Awards that are Options, if the Grantee ceases to be employed by the Company or any Affiliate, the Grantee shall extend to the Company and/or its Affiliate a security or guarantee for the payment of tax due at the time of sale of Shares, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 and the rules, regulation or orders promulgated thereunder.
|
12.1 |
Subject to the provisions of the ISAP, each Option subject to an Award shall vest following the Vesting Dates and for the number of Shares as shall be provided in the Award Agreement. However, no Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date.
|
12.2 |
An Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised, as the Committee may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary.
|
15.1 |
No Option or any right with respect thereto, purchasable hereunder, whether fully paid or not, shall be assignable, transferable or given as collateral or any right with respect to it given to any third party whatsoever, except as specifically allowed under the ISAP, and during the lifetime of the Grantee each and all of such Grantee's rights to purchase Shares hereunder shall be exercisable only by the Grantee.
|
15.2 |
As long as the Shares are held by the Trustee on behalf of the Grantee, all rights of the Grantee over the Shares are personal, cannot be transferred, assigned, pledged or mortgaged, other than by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution.
|
21.1 |
Any tax consequences arising from the grant or exercise of any Award, from the payment for Shares covered thereby or from any other event or act (of the Company and/or its Affiliates, the Trustee or the Grantee), hereunder, shall be borne solely by the Grantee. The Company and/or its Affiliates and/or the Trustee shall withhold taxes according to the requirements under the applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including withholding taxes at source. Furthermore, the Grantee shall agree to indemnify the Company and/or its Affiliates and/or the Trustee 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 Grantee.
|
21.2 |
The Company and/or, when applicable, the Trustee shall not be required to release any Share certificate to a Grantee until all required payments have been fully made.
