II.EQUITY COMPENSATION

Non-Employee Directors shall be granted the equity awards described below. The awards described below shall be granted under and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Company’s 2018 Incentive Award Plan or any other applicable Company equity incentive plan then-maintained by the Company (the “Equity Plan”) and shall be granted subject to award agreements, including attached exhibits, in substantially the forms approved by the Board. All applicable terms of the Equity Plan apply to this Program as if fully set forth herein, and all grants of equity awards hereby are subject in all respects to the terms of the Equity Plan and the applicable award agreement.

A.Initial Awards. Each Non-Employee Director who is initially elected or appointed to the Board shall receive an option to purchase 50,000 ordinary shares of the Company on the date of such initial election or appointment. The awards described in this Section II(A) shall be referred to as “Initial Awards.”  No Non-Employee Director shall be granted more than one Initial Award.

B.Subsequent Awards. A Non-Employee Director who (i) has been serving as a Non-Employee Director on the Board for at least six months as of the date of any annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders and (ii) will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director immediately following such meeting, shall be automatically granted the following equity awards on the date of such annual meeting:

D.Terms of Awards Granted to Non-Employee Directors

1.Exercise Price. The per share exercise price of each option granted to a Non-Employee Director shall equal the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Equity Plan) of an ordinary share on the date the option is granted.

2.Vesting. Each Initial Award shall vest and become exercisable in thirty-six (36) substantially equal monthly installments following the date of grant, such that the Initial Award shall be fully vested on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service as a Non-Employee Director through each such vesting date. Each Subsequent Award shall vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the day immediately prior to the date of the next annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders occurring after the date of grant, in either case subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service on the Board as a Non-Employee Director through each such vesting date. Unless the Board otherwise determines, any portion of an Initial Award or Subsequent Award which is unvested or unexercisable at the time of a Non-Employee Director’s termination of service on the Board as a Non-Employee Director shall be immediately forfeited upon such termination of service and shall not thereafter become vested and, as applicable, exercisable. All of a Non-Employee Director’s Initial Awards and Subsequent Awards shall vest in full immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Equity Plan), to the extent outstanding at such time.

3.Term. The maximum term of each option granted to a Non-Employee Director hereunder shall be ten (10) years from the date the option is granted.

4.Deferral. The Board may provide that the settlement of restricted share units be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the Non-Employee Director’s election, on such terms as determined by the Board.
