The Employing Company may change such Election only after the lapse of the minimum time period prescribed by Section 102. For the avoidance of doubt, such Election shall not prevent the Company from granting Non-Trustee 102 Awards or 3(i) Awards.

(e) The grant of Trustee 102 Awards shall be conditioned upon the approval (or the deemed approval pursuant to the provisions of Section 102(a) of the Ordinance) of the Plan, this Sub-Plan and the Trustee by the ITA.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph and pursuant to any applicable law, if within ninety (90) days of delivery of the abovementioned request, the appropriate ITA officer notifies the Employing Company of his or her decision not to approve the Plan (including this Sub-Plan) or the Trustee, then the Awards that were intended to be granted as a Trustee 102 Awards shall be deemed to be Non-Trustee 102 Awards, unless (i) otherwise determined by the ITA officer or (ii) pursuant to applicable law, elected otherwise by the Company.

(g) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, all Trustee 102 Awards granted under this Plan shall be granted or issued to a Trustee. The Trustee shall hold each such Trustee 102 Award, all Shares issued upon exercise thereof, and all other rights resulting from such Trustee 102 Award or Shares, including bonus Shares, in trust for the benefit of the Israeli Employee Grantee to which such Award was granted. All certificates representing Awards or Shares issued to the Trustee under the Plan shall be issued in the Trustee’s name, deposited with the Trustee, and shall be held by the Trustee until such time that such Awards or Shares are released from the trust.

(h) With respect to 102 Capital Gains Awards and 102 Ordinary Income Awards, such Awards or any Shares issued upon the exercise thereof and all rights resulting from such Awards or Shares, including bonus Shares, will be held by the Trustee, from the date such Awards or Shares were deposited with the Trustee until the end of the applicable Lockup Period (currently at least 24 months in case of 102 Capital Gains Awards and 12 months in case of 102 Ordinary Income Awards) or such shorter period as approved by the ITA, under the terms set forth in Section 102.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Trustee shall not release any Shares allocated or issued upon exercise or vesting of Approved 102 Awards prior to the full payment of the Israeli Employee Grantee’s tax liabilities, if any, or to the full satisfaction of the trustee that such applicable tax payments will be made, arising from Approved 102 Awards which were granted to him or her and/or any Shares allocated or issued upon exercise or vesting of such Awards.

Notwithstanding the foregoing but without derogating from the provisions of the Plan and the terms and conditions set forth in the Award Agreement, if any such sale, release, or disposition occurs during the Lockup Period, then the provisions of Section 102 relating to non-compliance with the Lockup Period will apply and all sanctions and liability under Section 102 shall be borne by the Israeli Employee Grantee. The Israeli Employee Grantee will indemnify the Company, the Trustee and any other party which incurs any liability as a result of such sale, release or disposition.

(k) In the event that the requirements for the Trustee 102 Awards are not met, then the Trustee 102 Awards shall be deemed Non-Trustee 102 Awards.

(l) Upon receipt of a Trustee 102 Award, the Israeli Employee Grantee will sign an Award Agreement under which such Grantee will agree to be subject to the trust agreement between the Company or its Affiliate and the Trustee, stating, inter alia, that the Trustee will be released from any liability in respect of any action or decision taken or executed in good faith with respect to this Sub-Plan, or any Trustee 102 Award or Share issued to him or her thereunder, or right resulting therefrom, including bonus Shares.

(m) The validity of any order given to the Trustee by an Israeli Employee Grantee shall be subject to the approval of the Employing Company. The Employing Company shall render its decision regarding whether to approve orders given by any Israeli Employee Grantee to the Trustee within a reasonable period of time. The Employing Company shall not be required to approve any order which is incomplete, is not in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, this Sub-Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or which the Employing Company believes should not be executed for any reasonable reason. The Employing Company shall notify the Israeli Employee Grantee of the reason for not approving his order. Approval by the Employing Company of any order given to the Trustee by an Israeli Employee Grantee shall not constitute proof of the Employing Company’s recognition of any right of such Israeli Employee Grantee.

(n) Without derogating from the above, the Employing Company shall have the authority to determine the specific procedures and conditions of the trusteeship with the Trustee in a separate agreement between the Employing Company and the Trustee.

5

(o) In the case of 102 Awards, the Trustee shall have no rights as a Shareholder of the Company with respect to the Shares covered by such Award until the Trustee becomes the record holder of such Shares for the Israeli Employee Grantee’s benefit, and the Israeli Employee Grantee shall have no rights as a Shareholder of the Company with respect to the Shares covered by the Award until the date of the release of such Shares from the Trustee to the Israeli Employee Grantee and the transfer of record ownership of such Shares to the Israeli Employee Grantee.

(a) Awards granted pursuant to this Section are intended to constitute Non-Trustee 102 Awards and are subject to the provisions of Section 102 and the general terms and conditions specified in the Plan, except for such provisions of the Plan applying to Awards granted under a different tax law or regulations.

In the event that the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, determines that Non-Trustee 102 Awards, or Shares issued upon the exercise thereof, or rights resulting therefore, including bonus Shares, shall be deposited with a trustee, the provisions of Section (f) of this Sub-Plan shall apply, mutatis mutandis.

(d) In the event that an Israeli Employee Grantee was granted a Non-Trustee 102 Award and thereafter such Israeli Employee Grantee’s employment by the Company, or any Affiliate thereof, terminates for any reason, such Israeli Employee Grantee will be obligated to provide his or her employer, upon the termination of employment, with a security or guarantee to cover any future tax obligation resulting from the grant, exercise or disposition of the Award, the Shares issuable upon the exercise thereof, or any rights resulting therefrom, in a form satisfactory to such employer in such employer’s sole discretion.

Each Award Agreement shall state, inter alia, the number of Shares granted under the Award, the type of Award granted thereunder (whether such Award is a Trustee 102 Award, and if so, whether it is a 102 Capital Gains Award or 102 Ordinary Income Award, or a Non-Trustee 102 Award, or a 3(i) Award), the vesting provisions, the term of the Award, and the exercise price.

Neither the Company nor any Affiliate nor the Trustee shall be required to pay such Taxes, directly or indirectly, nor shall they be required to gross up such Taxes in the Israeli Grantees’ salaries or remuneration.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision no Israeli Grantee shall have any of the rights of a Shareholder with respect to any Shares until Grantee pays all payments (including Tax) required to be paid under this Section with respect to such Shares.

(f) The ramifications of any future modification of any applicable law with respect to the taxation of Awards or Shares granted to Grantees shall apply to the Israeli Grantees accordingly and the Israeli Grantees shall bear the full cost thereof, unless such laws, as modified, mandatorily provide otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, should the applicability of such taxing arrangements to the Plan, this Sub-Plan or to securities issued hereunder or thereunder be conditioned on a decision by the Company or by the Trustee that such arrangements shall apply, the Company shall be entitled to decide, at its absolute discretion, whether to apply such taxing arrangements and to instruct the Trustee to act accordingly.

(g) With respect to Unapproved 102 Award, if the Israeli Grantee ceases to be employed by the Company or any Affiliate, the Israeli 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.

HOWEVER, THE TRUSTEE SHALL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO EXERCISE SUCH VOTING RIGHTS NOR NOTIFY THE ISRAELI GRANTEE OF ANY MEETING OF THE COMPANY’S SHAREHOLDERS.

13. | GOVERNING LAW & JURISDICTION.

THIS SUB-PLAN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS. THE COMPETENT COURTS IN TEL-AVIV SHALL HAVE SOLE JURISDICTION IN ANY MATTERS PERTAINING TO THIS SUB-PLAN.
