ARTICLE IV
SHARE LIMITATION
4.1    Shares.
(a)General Limitations. The maximum aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that may be issued or used for reference purposes or with respect to which Awards may be granted under this Plan, other than Substitute Awards, shall (subject to adjustment pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2) be equal to 9,000,000 shares, less one share for every one share granted under the Prior Plan after April 2, 2024 and prior to the Effective Date, any of which may be granted as Incentive Share Options. After the Effective Date, no awards may be granted under the Prior Plan, but such Prior Plan shall remain outstanding with respect to awards granted under the Prior Plan prior to the Effective Date. The number of Ordinary Shares that remain available for future grants under the Plan shall be reduced by the sum of the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares which become subject to outstanding Awards, other than Substitute Awards. Shares issued under this Plan may be either authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares held in or acquired for the treasury of the Company, or both.



(b)If, other than with respect to Substitute Awards, (i) any Ordinary Shares subject to an Award are forfeited, an Award expires or otherwise terminates without issuance of Ordinary Shares, or an Award is settled for cash (in whole or in part) or otherwise does not result in the issuance of all or a portion of the Ordinary Shares subject to such Award, such Ordinary Shares shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, termination, cash settlement or non-issuance, be added to the Ordinary Shares available for grant under the Plan or (ii) after April 2, 2024 any Ordinary Shares subject to an award under the Prior Plan are forfeited, an award under the Prior Plan expires or otherwise terminates without issuance of such Ordinary Shares, or an award under any Prior Plan is settled for cash (in whole or in part), or otherwise does not result in the issuance of all or a portion of the Ordinary Shares subject to such award, then in each such case the Ordinary Shares subject to the Award or award under the Prior Plan shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, termination, cash settlement or non-issuance, be added to the Ordinary Shares available for grant under the Plan on a one-for-one basis.
(c)In the event that (i) any Award granted hereunder (other than a Substitute Award) is exercised through the tendering of shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of shares by the Company, or (ii) withholding tax liabilities arising from such Award (other than a Substitute Award) are satisfied by the tendering of shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of shares by the Company, then in each such case the shares so tendered or withheld shall be added to the shares available for grant under the Plan on a one-for-one basis. In the event that after April 2, 2024 (i) any award the Prior Plan is exercised through the tendering of shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of shares by the Company, or (ii) withholding tax liabilities arising from such awards are satisfied by the tendering of shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of shares by the Company, then in each such case the shares so tendered or withheld shall be added to the shares available for grant under the Plan on a one-for-one basis.
(d)Individual Participant Limitations for Nonemployee Directors. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the aggregate grant date fair value (computed as of the date of grant in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) of all Awards granted to any Non-Employee Director during any single calendar year, plus the total cash compensation paid to such director for services rendered for such calendar year, shall not exceed $750,0000, or $1,500,0000 for the first year providing such services; provided, however, that the limitation described in this Section shall be determined without regard to amounts paid to a non-employee director during any period in which such individual was an employee or consultant (other than grants of



awards paid for service in their capacity as a non-employee director), and any severance and other payments such as consulting fees paid to a non-employee director for such director’s prior or current service to the Company or any Subsidiary other than serving as a director shall not be taken into account in applying the limit provided above. For the avoidance of doubt, any compensation that is deferred shall be counted toward this limit for the year in which it was first earned, and not when paid or settled if later.
4.2    Changes.
(a)The existence of this Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Board or the shareholders of the Company to make or authorize (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company or any Affiliate, (iii) any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference shares ahead of or affecting the Ordinary Shares, (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Affiliate, (v) any sale or transfer of all or part of the assets or business of the Company or any Affiliate, (vi) any Acquisition Event or (vii) any other corporate act or proceeding.
(b)Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(d), if there shall occur any such change in the capital structure or business of the Company by reason of any share split, reverse share split, share dividend, combination or reclassification of shares that may be issued under the Plan, any recapitalization, any merger, any consolidation, any spin off, any reorganization or any partial or complete liquidation, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase any Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into Ordinary Shares, any sale or transfer of all or part of the Company’s assets or business, or any other corporate transaction or event that would be considered an “equity restructuring” within the meaning of FASB ASC Topic 718 (each, a “Section 4.2 Event”), then (i) the aggregate number and/or kind of shares that thereafter may be issued under the Plan, (ii) the number and/or kind of shares or other property (including cash) to be issued upon exercise of an outstanding Award or subject to other outstanding Awards granted under the Plan, and/or (iii) the purchase price thereof, shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee as the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Participants under the Plan. In connection with any Section 4.2 Event, the Committee may provide for the cancellation of any outstanding Awards and payment in cash or other property in exchange therefore. In addition, subject to Section 4.2(d), if there shall occur any change in the capital structure or the business of the Company that is not a Section 4.2 Event (an “Other Extraordinary Event”), then the Committee may adjust any



Award and make such other adjustments to the Plan as described in subsections (i) through (iv) above. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be consistent with the applicable Section 4.2 Event or the applicable Other Extraordinary Event, as the case may be, and shall be executed in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Participants under the Plan. Any such adjustment determined by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company and all Participants and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in this Section 4.2 or in the applicable Award agreement, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any Section 4.2 Event or any Other Extraordinary Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any adjustments made pursuant to Section 4.2 to Awards that are considered “non-qualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code shall be made in a manner intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; and (ii) any adjustments made pursuant to Section 4.2 to Awards that are not considered “non-qualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made in a manner intended to ensure that after such adjustment, the Awards either (A) continue not to be subject to Section 409A of the Code or (B) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
(c)Notice of any adjustment shall be given by the Committee to each Participant whose Award has been adjusted and such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes of this Plan.
(d)In the event of a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in the event of any transaction that results in the acquisition of substantially all of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares by a single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert, or in the event of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (all of the foregoing being referred to as an “Acquisition Event”), then the Committee may terminate all outstanding and unexercised Share Options, or any Other Share-Based Award that is an Appreciation Award, effective as of the date of the Acquisition Event, by delivering notice of termination to each Participant at least 20 days prior to the date of consummation of the Acquisition Event, in which case during the period from the date on which such notice of termination is delivered to the consummation of the Acquisition Event, each such Participant shall have the right to exercise in full all of their Awards that are then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercisability otherwise contained in the Award agreements), but any such exercise shall be contingent on the occurrence of the Acquisition Event, and, provided that, if the Acquisition Event does not take place within a



specified period after giving such notice for any reason whatsoever, the notice and exercise pursuant thereto shall be null and void and the applicable provisions of Section 4.2(b) and Article X shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of an Acquisition Event, the Committee may terminate any Appreciation Award for which the exercise price is equal to or exceeds the Fair Market Value without payment of consideration therefore. If an Acquisition Event occurs but the Committee does not terminate the outstanding Awards pursuant to this Section 4.2(d), then the provisions of Section 4.2(b) and Article X shall apply.
4.3    Minimum Purchase Price. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if authorized but previously unissued Ordinary Shares are issued under this Plan, such shares shall not be issued for a consideration that is less than as permitted under applicable law.

ARTICLE V
ELIGIBILITY
5.1    General Eligibility. All Eligible Employees, Consultants, Non-Employee Directors and, subject to Section 5.3 below, prospective employees and prospective consultants of the Company and its Affiliates, are eligible to be granted Awards. Eligibility for the grant of Awards and actual participation in this Plan shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Award under which a Participant may receive Ordinary Shares may be granted under this Plan to an Eligible Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director of any Affiliate if such Ordinary Shares do not constitute “service recipient stock” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code with respect to such Eligible Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director unless such Award is structured in a manner intended to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code.
5.2    Incentive Share Options. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, only Eligible Employees of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Parent (if any) are eligible to be granted Incentive Share Options under this Plan. Eligibility for the grant of an Incentive Share Option and actual participation in this Plan shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
5.3    General Requirement. The grant, vesting and exercise of Awards granted to a prospective employee or prospective consultant of the Company and its Affiliates are conditioned upon such Person actually becoming an Eligible Employee or Consultant. Awards may be awarded in consideration for past services actually rendered to the Company or an Affiliate for its benefit; provided, however, that no Award may be granted to an Eligible Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director unless the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the Award will comply with applicable laws, including the securities laws of all relevant jurisdictions (and, in the case of an Award to be made to a new Eligible Employee or Consultant who has not performed prior services for the Company, the Company may require payment for the Ordinary Shares by cash or check to the extent required or deemed advisable by the Committee, in its sole discretion, in order to ensure proper issuance of the shares in compliance with applicable law).



ARTICLE VI
SHARE OPTIONS
6.1    Options. Share Options may be granted alone or in addition to other Awards granted under this Plan. Each Share Option granted under this Plan shall be of one of two types: (a) an Incentive Share Option or (b) a Non-Qualified Share Option.
6.2    Grants. The Committee shall have the authority to grant to any Eligible Employee one or more Incentive Share Options, Non-Qualified Share Options, or both types of Share Options. The Committee shall have the authority to grant any Consultant or Non-Employee Director one or more Non-Qualified Share Options. To the extent that any Share Option does not qualify as an Incentive Share Option (whether because of its provisions or the time or manner of its exercise or otherwise), such Share Option or the portion thereof which does not qualify shall constitute a separate Non-Qualified Share Option.
6.3    Incentive Share Options. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no term of this Plan relating to Incentive Share Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code.
6.4    Terms of Options. Share Options granted under this Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall be in such form and contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable:
(a)Exercise Price. The exercise price per Ordinary Share subject to a Share Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at the time of grant, provided that the per share exercise price of a Share Option shall not be less than 100% (or, in the case of an Incentive Share Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder, 110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares at the time of grant.
(b)Share Option Term. The term of each Share Option shall be fixed by the Committee, provided that no Share Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date the Option is granted; and provided further that the term of an Incentive Share Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder shall not exceed five years.
(c)Exercisability. Share Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at grant. If the Committee provides that any Share Option is exercisable subject to certain limitations (including, without limitation, that such Share Option is exercisable only in installments or within certain time periods), the Committee may waive such limitations on the exercisability at any time at or after grant in whole or in part (including, without limitation, waiver of the installment exercise provisions or acceleration of the time at which such Share Option may be exercised), based on such factors, if any, as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion.



Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at grant, the Share Option agreement shall provide that (A) in the event the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity prior to any exercise of the Share Option, all Share Options (whether vested or unvested) held by the Participant shall thereupon terminate and expire, (B) as a condition of the exercise of a Share Option, the Participant shall be required to certify (or shall be deemed to have certified) at the time of exercise in a manner acceptable to the Company that the Participant is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and that the Participant has not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, any Detrimental Activity, and (C) in the event the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity during the one-year period commencing on the date the Share Option is exercised, the Company shall be entitled to recover from the Participant, at any time within one year after such Detrimental Activity, and the Participant shall pay over to the Company, the Ordinary Shares received from such exercise, or, if such Ordinary Shares have been transferred, an amount equal to Fair Market Value of such Ordinary Shares on the date of such exercise, or such other appropriate lesser amount as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion. The foregoing provisions described in subsections (A), (B) and (C) shall cease to apply upon a Change in Control.
(d)Method of Exercise. Subject to whatever installment exercise and waiting period provisions apply under subsection (c) above, to the extent vested, Share Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Share Option term, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company (or its designee) specifying the number of Ordinary Shares to be purchased. Such notice shall be in a form acceptable to the Company and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price as follows: (i) in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company; (ii) solely to the extent permitted by applicable law, if the Ordinary Shares are traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on a national quotation system sponsored by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and the Committee authorizes, through a procedure whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker reasonably acceptable to the Committee to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the purchase price; or (iii) on such other terms and conditions as may be acceptable to the Committee (including, without limitation, the relinquishment of Share Options or by payment in full or in part in the form of Ordinary Shares owned by the Participant (for which the Participant has good title free and clear of any liens and encumbrances) based on the Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares on the payment date as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion). No Ordinary Shares shall be issued until payment therefor, as provided herein, has been made or provided for. For the avoidance of doubt, the



Company may not use the cash proceeds it receives from Share Option exercises to repurchase Ordinary Shares on the open market for reuse under the Plan.
(e)Non-Transferability of Options. No Share Option shall be Transferable by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Share Options shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, at the time of grant, or if no rights of the Participant are substantially impaired, thereafter, that a Non-Qualified Share Option that is otherwise not Transferable pursuant to this Section is Transferable to a Family Member in whole or in part and in such circumstances, and under such conditions, as specified by the Committee. A Non-Qualified Share Option that is Transferred to a Family Member pursuant to the preceding sentence (i) may not be subsequently Transferred otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and (ii) remains subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Award agreement. Any Ordinary Shares acquired upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Share Option by a permissible transferee of a Non-Qualified Share Option or a permissible transferee pursuant to a Transfer after the exercise of the Non-Qualified Share Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Award agreement.
(f)Termination by Death or Disability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at the time of grant in an Award agreement, or if no rights of the Participant are substantially impaired, thereafter, if Participant’s Termination is by reason of death or Disability, all Share Options that are held by such Participant that are vested and exercisable at the time of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised by the Participant (or, in the case of death or incapacity, by the legal representative of the Participant or the Participant’s estate) at any time within a period of one year from the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Share Options.
(g)Involuntary Termination Without Cause or Voluntary Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at grant in an Award agreement, or if no rights of the Participant are substantially impaired, thereafter, if a Participant’s Termination is by involuntary termination without Cause or if a Participant’s Termination is voluntary (other than a voluntary termination described in subsection (h)(y) below), all Share Options that are held by such Participant that are vested and exercisable at the time of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised by the Participant at any time within a period of 90 days from the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Share Options.



(h)Termination for Cause. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at grant in an Award agreement, or if no rights of the Participant are substantially impaired, thereafter, if a Participant’s Termination (x) is for Cause or (y) is a voluntary Termination (as provided in subsection (g) above) after the occurrence of an event that would be grounds for a Termination for Cause, all Share Options, whether vested or not vested, that are held by such Participant shall thereupon terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination.
(i)Unvested Share Options. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at grant in an Award agreement, or if no rights of the Participant are substantially impaired, thereafter, Share Options that are not vested as of the date of a Participant’s Termination for any reason shall terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination.
(j)Incentive Share Option Limitations. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Ordinary Shares with respect to which Incentive Share Options are exercisable for the first time by an Eligible Employee during any calendar year under this Plan and/or any other share option plan of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non‑Qualified Share Options. In addition, if an Eligible Employee does not remain employed by the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent at all times from the time an Incentive Share Option is granted until three months prior to the date of exercise thereof (or such other period as required by applicable law), such Share Option shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Share Option. Should any provision of this Plan not be necessary in order for the Share Options to qualify as Incentive Share Options, or should any additional provisions be required, the Committee may amend this Plan accordingly, without the necessity of obtaining the approval of the shareholders of the Company.
(k)Form, Modification, and Prohibition on Repricing Share Options. Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of this Plan, Share Options shall be evidenced by such form of agreement or grant as is approved by the Committee, and the Committee may, subject to Section 11.1, modify or extend Share Options granted under this Plan (provided that (x) the rights of a Participant are not substantially impaired or adversely affected without their consent and (y) such action does not subject the Share Options to Section 409A of the Code or otherwise extend the Share Option beyond its stated term). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and except as permitted pursuant to Section 4.2, an outstanding Option or Appreciation Award may not be modified to reduce the exercise or base price thereof nor may an Option or Appreciation Award be surrendered (when the option or exercise price per share exceeds the Fair Market Value of one share) in exchange for cash or



another Award (other than in connection with a Change in Control), unless such action is approved by the shareholders of the Company.
(l)Other Terms and Conditions. Share Option agreements may contain such other provisions, which shall not be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem appropriate; provided, however, that a Share Option agreement shall not provide for the grant of the same number of Share Options as the number of Ordinary Shares delivered to pay for the exercise price of Options or Ordinary Shares delivered to pay withholding taxes (i.e., “reloads”). The Company shall not grant dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to any Share Option award.
ARTICLE VII    
RESTRICTED SHARES
7.1    Awards of Restricted Shares. Restricted Shares may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, the Eligible Employees, Consultants and Non-Employee Directors, to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Shares shall be made, the number of shares to be awarded, the purchase price (if any) to be paid by the Participant (subject to Section 7.2), the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof (if any), and all other terms and conditions of the Awards.
Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at grant, each Award of Restricted Shares shall provide that in the event the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity prior to, or during the one year period after, any vesting of Restricted Shares, the Committee shall direct that all unvested Restricted Shares shall be immediately forfeited to the Company and that the Participant shall pay over to the Company any Ordinary Shares held by the Participant as a result of the vesting of Restricted Shares, or, if transferred, an amount equal to the Fair Market Value at the time of vesting, of any Restricted Shares which had vested in the period referred to above, or, if such Ordinary Shares have been transferred, an amount equal to Fair Market Value of such Ordinary Shares on the date of such vesting, or such other appropriate lesser amount as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion. The foregoing provision shall cease to apply upon a Change in Control.
The Committee may condition the grant or vesting of Restricted Shares upon the attainment of specified performance criteria (including, the Performance Goals specified in Exhibit A attached hereto) or such other factors as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion.
7.2    Awards and Certificates. Eligible Employees, Consultants and Non-Employee Directors selected to receive Restricted Shares shall not have any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such Participant has complied with the applicable terms and conditions for accepting such Award. Further, such Award shall be subject to the following conditions:
(a)Purchase Price. The purchase price of Restricted Shares, if any, shall be fixed by the Committee. Subject to Section 4.3, the purchase price for Restricted Shares may be zero to the extent permitted by applicable law.



(b)Acceptance. The Committee may require, in its sole discretion, that Awards of Restricted Shares must be accepted within a period of 60 days after the grant date (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify at grant), by executing a Restricted Share Award agreement and by paying the purchase price of Restricted Shares (if any) the Committee has designated thereunder.
(c)Legend. Each Participant receiving Restricted Shares shall be issued a share certificate in respect of such Restricted Shares, unless the Committee elects to use another system, such as book entries by the transfer agent, as evidencing ownership of Restricted Shares. Such certificate shall be registered in the name of such Participant, and shall, in addition to such legends required by applicable securities laws, bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Award, substantially in the following form:
“The anticipation, alienation, attachment, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge of the shares represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of the NovoCure Limited (the “Company”) 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”), and an Award Agreement entered into between the registered owner and the Company. Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file at the principal office of the Company.”
(d)Custody. If share certificates are issued in respect of Restricted Shares, the Committee may require that any share certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any grant of Restricted Shares, the Participant shall have delivered a duly signed share power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Ordinary Shares covered by such Award.
7.3    Restrictions and Conditions. The Restricted Shares awarded pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions:
(a)Restriction Period. (i) The Participant shall not be permitted to Transfer Restricted Shares awarded under this Plan during the period or periods set by the Committee (the “Restriction Period”) commencing on the date of such Award, as set forth in the Restricted Share Award agreement and such agreement shall set forth a vesting schedule and any events which would accelerate vesting of the Restricted Shares. Within these limits, based on service, attainment of performance goals pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(ii) below and/or such other factors or criteria as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, the Committee may condition the grant or provide for the lapse of such restrictions in installments in whole or in part, or may accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any Restricted Share Award and/or waive the deferral limitations for all or any part of any Restricted Share Award.



(b)Performance Goals, Formulae or Standards. If the grant of Restricted Shares or the lapse of restrictions is based on the attainment of performance goals, the Committee shall establish the performance goals and the applicable vesting percentage of the Restricted Shares applicable to each Participant or class of Participants. Such performance goals may incorporate (provisions for disregarding (or adjusting for) changes in accounting methods, corporate transactions (including, without limitation, dispositions and acquisitions) and other similar type events or circumstances.
(c)Rights as a Shareholder. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a holder of Ordinary Shares of the Company with respect to the Restricted Shares, including, without limitation, the right to vote such shares and, subject to and conditioned upon the full vesting of Restricted Shares, the right to receive any dividends and the right to tender such shares, provided the payment of dividends shall be deferred until, and conditioned upon, the expiration of the applicable Restriction Period with respect to the Restricted Shares. Dividends, dividend equivalents and other distributions that are not paid currently shall be credited to bookkeeping accounts on the Company’s records for purposes of the Plan and, except as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, shall not accrue interest. Such dividends, dividend equivalents and other distributions shall be paid to the Participant in the same form as paid on the Ordinary Shares or such other form as is determined by the Committee in its sole discretion upon the lapse of the restrictions.
(d)Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at grant or, if no rights of the Participant are substantially impaired, thereafter, subject to the applicable provisions of the Restricted Share Award agreement and this Plan, upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason during the relevant Restriction Period, all Restricted Shares still subject to restriction will vest or be forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee at grant or thereafter.
(e)Lapse of Restrictions. If and when the Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Shares, if certificated, the certificates for such shares shall be delivered to the Participant and all legends shall be removed from said certificates at the time of delivery to the Participant, except as otherwise required by applicable law or other limitations imposed by the Committee.

ARTICLE VIII

8.1    Other Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant to Eligible Employees, Consultants and Non-Employee Directors Other Share-Based Awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to Ordinary Shares, including but not limited to, Ordinary Shares awarded purely as a bonus and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, Ordinary Shares in payment of the amounts due under an incentive or performance plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or an Affiliate, share appreciation rights, share equivalent units, restricted share units, and Awards valued by reference to book value of Ordinary Shares; provided, however, that any share appreciation rights shall have a base price or strike price that is equal to or in excess of Fair Market Value on the date of grant and shall be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to Share Options as set forth in Section 6.4, as applicable. Other Share-Based Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan.
Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall have authority to determine, in its sole discretion, the Eligible Employees, Consultants and Non-Employee Directors, to whom, and the time or times at which, such Awards shall be made, the number of Ordinary Shares to be awarded pursuant to such Awards, and all other conditions of the Awards. The Committee may also provide for the grant of Ordinary Shares under such Awards upon the completion of a specified Performance Period.
The Committee may condition the grant or vesting of Other Share-Based Awards upon the attainment of specified performance criteria (including the Performance Goals set forth on Exhibit A) or such other factors as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion. If the grant or vesting of an Other Share-Based Award is based on the attainment of performance goals, the Committee shall establish the performance goals for the grant or vesting of such Other Share-Based Awards applicable to each Participant or class of Participants. Such performance goals may incorporate provisions for disregarding (or adjusting for) changes in accounting methods, corporate transactions (including, without limitation, dispositions and acquisitions) and other similar type events or circumstances.

The Committee may, at or after grant, accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any Other Share-Based Award based on service, performance and/or such other factors or criteria, if any, as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion.
(d)Payment. Following the Committee’s determination in accordance with subsection (c) above, Ordinary Shares or, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the cash equivalent of such shares (or a combination thereof) shall be delivered to the Eligible Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director, or their legal representative, in an amount equal to such individual’s earned Other Share-Based Award.

ARTICLE IX
PERFORMANCE-BASED CASH AWARDS
9.1    Performance-Based Cash Awards. Performance-Based Cash Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with other Awards granted under this Plan. Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall have authority to determine, in its sole discretion, the Eligible Employees and Consultants to whom, and the time or times at which, Performance-Based Cash Awards shall be made, the dollar amount to be awarded pursuant to such Performance-Based Cash Award, and all other conditions for the payment of the Performance-Based Cash Award. The Committee may also provide for the payment of a dollar amount under a Performance-Based Cash Award upon the completion of a specified Performance Period.
The Committee may condition the right to payment of any Performance-Based Cash Award upon the attainment of specified performance criteria (including, the Performance Goals specified in Exhibit A attached hereto).
Subject to Section 9.2(c), for any Participant the Committee may specify a targeted Performance-Based Cash Award for a Performance Period (each an “Individual Target Award”). An Individual Target Award may be expressed as a fixed dollar amount, a percentage of the Participant’s base pay, as a percentage of a bonus pool funded by a formula as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion based on achievement of performance criteria, or an amount determined pursuant to an objective formula or standard. The Committee’s establishment of an Individual Target Award for a Participant for a Performance Period shall not imply or require that the same level or any Individual Target Award be established for the Participant for any subsequent Performance Period or for or any other Participant for that Performance Period or any subsequent Performance Period. At the time the performance criteria are established (as provided in Section 9.2(c)), the Committee may prescribe a formula to be used to determine the maximum and minimum percentages (which may be greater or less than one-hundred percent (100%), as applicable) of an Individual Target Award that may be earned or payable based upon the degree of attainment of the performance criteria during the Performance Period.



Notwithstanding anything else herein, unless otherwise specified by the Committee with respect to an Individual Target Award, the Committee may elect to pay a Participant an amount that is less or more than the Participant’s Individual Target Award (or attained percentages thereof) regardless of the degree of attainment of the performance criteria; provided that, except as otherwise specified by the Committee with respect to an Individual Target Award, no discretion to reduce a Performance-Based Cash Award earned based on achievement of the applicable performance criteria shall be permitted for any Performance Period in which a Change in Control occurs, or during such Performance Period with regard to the prior Performance Periods if the Performance-Based Cash Awards for the prior Performance Periods have not been paid by the time of the Change in Control, with regard to individuals who were Participants at the time of the Change in Control.
9.2    Terms and Conditions. Performance-Based Cash Awards made pursuant to this Article IX shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a)Committee Certification. At the expiration of the applicable Performance Period, the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, the extent to which the performance criteria are achieved and, if applicable, the percentage of the Participant’s Individual Target Award that has been vested and earned.
(b)Performance Goals, Formulae or Standards. The Committee shall establish the performance criteria for the earning of Performance-Based Cash Awards based on a Performance Period applicable to each Participant or class of Participants. Such performance criteria may incorporate provisions for disregarding (or adjusting for) changes in accounting methods, corporate transactions (including, without limitation, dispositions and acquisitions) and other similar type events or circumstances.
(c)Payment. Following the Committee’s determination, in its sole discretion, and certification in accordance with subsection (a) above, the Performance-Based Cash Award amount shall be paid to the Eligible Employee or their legal representative, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Performance-Based Cash Award agreement, but in no event, except as provided in the next sentence, shall such amount be paid by no later than the later of: (i) March 15 of the year following the year in which the applicable Performance Period ends; or (ii) two and one-half (2½) months after the expiration of the fiscal year of the Company in which the applicable Performance Period ends (or, if later, the year in which the Award is earned). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may place such conditions on the payment of the payment of all or any portion of any Performance-Based Cash Award as the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, and prior to the beginning of a Performance Period the Committee may (x) provide that the payment of all or any portion of any Performance-Based Cash Award shall be deferred and (y) permit a Participant to elect to defer receipt of all



or a portion of any Performance-Based Cash Award. To the extent applicable, any deferral under this Section 9.2(c) shall be made in a manner intended to comply with or be exempt from the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may award an amount less or more than the amount which otherwise would be payable pursuant to the Performance-Based Cash Award under the applicable Award agreement based on the level of attainment of the performance goals actually achieved.
(d)Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, no Performance-Based Cash Award or pro rata portion thereof shall be payable to any Participant who incurs a Termination prior to the date such Performance-Based Cash Award is paid.

(i)A Termination of Employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of a Section 409A Covered Award providing for payment upon or following a termination of the Participant’s employment unless such termination is also a “Separation from Service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of a Section 409A Covered Award, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean Separation from Service.

(ii)With respect to any payment pursuant to a Section 409A Covered Award that is triggered upon a Change in Control, the settlement of such Award shall not occur until the earliest of (1) the Change in Control if such Change in Control constitutes a “change in the ownership of the corporation,” a “change in effective control of the corporation” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation,” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code, (2) the date such Award would otherwise be settled pursuant to the terms of the applicable Award agreement and (3) the Participant’s “separation of service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, subject to Section 13.14(a)(i).
(iii)For purposes of Code Section 409A, a Participant’s right to receive any installment payments under the Plan and/or pursuant to an



Award agreement thereunder shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.
(iv)Whenever a payment under the Plan and/or pursuant to an Award agreement thereunder specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “payment shall be made within thirty (30) days following the date of termination”), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.

To the extent that any Award granted under the Plan constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” pursuant to Section 457A of the Code (a “Section 457A Covered Award”), it shall be paid in a manner that will comply with or be exempt from Section 457A of the Code. In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on a Participant by Code Section 457A or any damages for failing to comply with Code Section 457A or this Section 13.14(b). Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in an Award to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to Section 457A Covered Awards:
(i)to the extent required by law, upon the Section 457A Covered Awards ceasing to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of Code Section 457A), the applicable amount under Section 457A Awards shall be recognized as taxable income to the Participant as of December 31 of the calendar year in which there ceases to be a substantial risk of forfeiture; and
(ii)in the event that the Participant fails to satisfy any condition that would otherwise be applicable under the Plan (but for the application of this Section 13.14(b)) with regard to the vesting and/or payment of any Section 457A Covered Award, then any Section 457A Covered Award will be immediately forfeited and cancelled and will not be paid to the Participant.

13.16    Severability of Provisions. If any provision of the Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.

Any benefit payable to or for the benefit of a minor, an incompetent person or other person incapable of receipt thereof shall be deemed paid when paid to such person’s guardian or to the party providing or reasonably appearing to provide for the care of such person, and such payment shall fully discharge the Committee, the Board, the Company, its Affiliates and their employees, agents and representatives with respect thereto.

In addition to the recoupment provisions set forth herein relating to Detrimental Activity, all Awards granted or other compensation paid by the Company under this Plan, including any Ordinary Shares or cash payment issued under any Award hereunder, are subject to forfeiture, recovery by the Company or other action pursuant to the applicable Agreement or any clawback or recoupment policy which the Company may adopt from time to time, including without limitation any such policy which the Company adopted under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and implementing rules and regulations thereunder, or any policy otherwise required by law, as well as any such policies required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and/or the rules of any national securities exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are then traded.
13.20    Reformation. If any provision regarding Detrimental Activity or any other provision set forth in the Plan or an Award agreement is found by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be invalid, void or unenforceable or to be excessively broad as to duration, activity, geographic application or subject, such provision or provisions shall be construed, by limiting or reducing them to the extent legally permitted, so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with then applicable law.
13.21    Electronic Communications. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, any Award agreement, notice of exercise of a Share Option or Other Share-Based Award, or other document or notice required or permitted by this Plan or an Award under the Plan that is required to be delivered in writing may, to the extent determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and to the extent permitted by the Company’s Articles of Association, be delivered and accepted electronically.
