Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Indemnification

 

The Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999, or the Companies Law, and the Israeli Securities Law, 5728-1968, or the Securities Law, provide that a company may indemnify an office holder against the following liabilities and expenses incurred for acts performed by him or her as an office holder, either pursuant to an undertaking made in advance of an event or following an event, provided its articles of association include a provision authorizing such indemnification:

 

  a financial liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person by any judgment concerning an act performed in his or her capacity as an office holder, including a settlement or arbitrator’s award approved by a court;

 

  reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, expended by the office holder (a) as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him or her by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding, provided that (1) no indictment (as defined in the Companies Law) was filed against such office holder as a result of such investigation or proceeding; and (2) no financial liability as a substitute for the criminal proceeding (as defined in the Companies Law) was imposed upon him or her as a result of such investigation or proceeding, or, if such financial liability was imposed, it was imposed with respect to an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent; or (b) in connection with a monetary sanction;

 

  reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, expended by the office holder or imposed on him or her by a court: (1) in proceedings that the company institutes, or that another person institutes on the company’s behalf, against him or her; (2) in a criminal proceeding of which he or she was acquitted; or (3) as a result of a conviction for a crime that does not require proof of criminal intent; and

 

  expenses incurred by an office holder in connection with an Administrative Procedure under the Securities Law, including reasonable litigation expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees. An “Administrative Procedure” is defined as a procedure pursuant to chapters H3 (Monetary Sanction by the Israeli Securities Authority), H4 (Administrative Enforcement Procedures of the Administrative Enforcement Committee) or I1 (Arrangement to prevent Procedures or Interruption of procedures subject to conditions) to the Securities Law.

 

The Companies Law also permits a company to undertake in advance to indemnify an office holder, provided that if such indemnification relates to financial liability imposed on him or her, as described above, then the undertaking should be limited and shall detail the following foreseen events and amount or criterion:

 

  to events that in the opinion of the board of directors can be foreseen based on the company’s activities at the time that the undertaking to indemnify is made; and

 

  in amount or criterion determined by the board of directors, at the time of the giving of such undertaking to indemnify, to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

We have entered into indemnification agreements with all of our directors and with all members of our senior management. Each such indemnification agreement provides the office holder with indemnification permitted under applicable law and up to a certain amount, and to the extent that these liabilities are not covered by directors and officers insurance.

 

Exculpation

 

Under the Companies Law, an Israeli company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach of his or her duty of loyalty, but may exculpate in advance an office holder from his or her liability to the company, in whole or in part, for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of his or her duty of care (other than in relation to distributions), but only if a provision authorizing such exculpation is included in its articles of association. Our articles of association provide that we may exculpate, in whole or in part, any office holder from liability to us for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of his or her duty of care, but prohibit an exculpation from liability arising from a company’s transaction in which our controlling shareholder or officer has a personal interest. Subject to the aforesaid limitations, under the indemnification agreements, we exculpate and release our office holders from any and all liability to us related to any breach by them of their duty of care to us to the fullest extent permitted by law. Exculpation letters were granted to each of our officeholders and were approved for any future officeholders.

 

II-2 

 

 

Limitations

 

The Companies Law provides that the Company may not exculpate or indemnify an office holder nor enter into an insurance contract that would provide coverage for any liability incurred as a result of any of the following: (1) a breach by the office holder of his or her duty of loyalty unless (in the case of indemnity or insurance only, but not exculpation) the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice us; (2) a breach by the office holder of his or her duty of care if the breach was carried out intentionally or recklessly (as opposed to merely negligently); (3) any act or omission committed with the intent to derive an illegal personal benefit; or (4) any fine, monetary sanction, penalty or forfeit levied against the office holder.

 

Under the Companies Law, exculpation, indemnification and insurance of office holders in a public company must be approved by the compensation committee and the board of directors and, with respect to certain office holders or under certain circumstances, also by the shareholders.

 

Our articles of association permit us to exculpate (subject to the aforesaid limitation), indemnify and insure our office holders to the fullest extent permitted or to be permitted by the Companies Law.

Re:Registration Statement on Form S-8

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as Israeli counsel for Brenmiller Energy Ltd., an Israeli Company (the “Company”) in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company on the date hereof with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement relates to the registration of 2,951,202 of the Company’s ordinary shares, par value of NIS 0.02 per share (the “Shares”), issuable under the Brenmiller Energy Ltd. 2013 Global Incentive Option Scheme (the “Plan”).

 

In connection herewith, we have examined the originals, or photocopies or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of: (i) the Registration Statement to which this opinion is attached as an exhibit; (ii) a copy of the articles of association of the Company, as currently in effect; (iii) resolutions of the board of directors which relate to the Registration Statement and the Plan; and (iv) such other corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereafter set forth. We have also made inquiries of such officers and representatives as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereafter set forth.

 

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, confirmed as photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to all questions of fact material to these opinions that have not been independently established, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Company. In addition, we have assumed that the Shares and any equity awards that provide for the acquisition thereof will be granted in accordance with the Plan and the Company’s articles of association.

 

We are members of the Israel Bar and we express no opinion as to any matter relating to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Israel and have not, for the purpose of giving this opinion, made any investigation of the laws of any other jurisdiction than the State of Israel.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares issuable under the Plan have been duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Plan and applicable option grant, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm wherever appearing in the Registration Statement in connection with Israeli law. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder or Item 509 of the SEC’s Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

 

Very truly yours,

THE SCHEME

 

This scheme, as amended from time to time, shall be known as Brenmiller Energy Ltd. 2013 Global Incentive Equity Scheme.

 

1.PURPOSE OF THE SCHEME

 

The Scheme is intended to provide an incentive to retain, in the employ of the Company and its Affiliates, persons of training, experience, and ability, to attract new employees, directors, consultants, service providers and any other entity which the Board shall decide their services are considered valuable to the Company, to encourage the sense of proprietorship of such persons, and to stimulate the active interest of such persons in the development and financial success of the Company by providing them with opportunities to purchase shares in the Company, pursuant to the Scheme.

 

Incentives under the Scheme shall only be issued to Grantees subject to the applicable law in their respective country of residence for tax purposes or any other purposes, as the case may be.

2.2The Committee shall select one of its members as its Chairman and shall hold its meetings at such times and places as the Chairman shall determine.

(i) designate participants;

 

(ii) determine the terms and provisions of the respective Grant Notification Letters, including, but not limited to, the number of Awards to be granted to each Grantee, if applicable, the number of Shares to be covered by each Award, provisions concerning the time and the extent to which the Options may be exercised and the nature and duration of restrictions as to the transferability or restrictions constituting substantial risk of forfeiture and to cancel or suspend awards, as necessary;

 

(iii) determine the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by each Option;

 

(iv) designate the type of Awards;

 

(v) alter any restrictions and conditions of any Awards, including Options or Shares subject to any Options; (vi) interpret the provisions and supervise the administration of the Scheme;

2.5Subject to the Company’s Articles of Association, all decisions and selections made by the Board or the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Scheme shall be made by a majority of its members except that no member of the Board or the Committee shall vote on, or be counted for quorum purposes, with respect to any proposed action of the Board or the Committee relating to any Award to be granted to that member. Any decision reduced to writing shall be executed in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s Articles of Association, as the same may be in effect from time to time.

 

2.6The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision of the Scheme or of any Grant Notification Letter thereunder shall be final and conclusive unless otherwise determined by the Board.

 

3.DESIGNATION OF PARTICIPANTS

 

The persons eligible for participation in the Scheme as Grantees shall include any Employees and/or Non-Employees of the Company or of any affiliate.

 

The grant of an Award hereunder shall neither entitle the Grantee to participate nor disqualify the Grantee from participating in, any other grant of Awards pursuant to the Scheme or any other option or share plan of the Company or any of its affiliates.

 

4.SHARES RESERVED FOR THE SCHEME; RESTRICTION THEREON

 

4.1The Company shall reserve from time-to-time, out of its authorized unissued share capital, such number of Shares as the Board deems appropriate.

 

4.2Each Award granted pursuant to the Scheme, shall be evidenced by a written Grant Notification Letter between the Company and the Grantee, in such form as the Board or the Committee shall from time to time approve. Each Grant Notification Letter shall state, among other matters, the number of Shares to which the Award relates, the type of Award granted thereunder, the Vesting Dates, the Purchase Price per share (if applicable), the Expiration Date and such other terms and conditions as the Committee or the Board in its discretion may prescribe, provided that they are consistent with this Scheme.

 

4.3Until the consummation of an IPO, such Shares shall be voted by an irrevocable proxy (the: “Proxy”) pursuant to the directions of the Board, such Proxy to be assigned to the person or persons designated by the Board.

 

5.PURCHASE PRICE

 

5.1The Purchase Price of each Share subject to an Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion in accordance with applicable law, subject to any guidelines as may be determined by the Board from time to time. Each Grant Notification Letter will contain the Purchase Price determined for each Grantee.

 

6

 

 

5.2Without derogating from the above and in addition thereto, the Purchase Price of each Share subject to an Option shall be payable upon the exercise of an Option in the following acceptable forms of payment:

 

(i)cash, check or wire transfer;

 

(ii)if, and only to the extent, explicitly permitted by the provisions of the applicable Grant Notification Letter - exercise of part or all of vested Options through a “Net Exercise” method so that the Grantee will be entitled to receive pursuant to the exercise of the Options only the number of Shares representing the benefit component in the Options, based on the following formula, in exchange to paying only the par value of the Share. For the avoidance of doubt, according to this exercise method, the Grantee will not actually pay the Purchase Price which is used only for calculating the benefit component.

 

 

 

Y = the number of vested exercisable Options that the Grantee wishes to exercise into Shares;

A = the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Share at the date of exercise;

B = the Purchase Price;

N = the par value of the Share

 

(iii)at the discretion of the Committee, any combination of the methods of payment permitted by any paragraph of this Section 5.2.

 

5.3The Purchase Price shall be denominated in the currency determined by the Committee.

 

6.ADJUSTMENTS

 

Upon the occurrence of any of the following described events, Grantee’s rights to purchase Shares under the Scheme shall be adjusted as hereafter provided:

 

6.1In the event of Transaction, the unexercised Awards then outstanding under the Scheme may, at the sole discretion of the Board, (i) 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 holding Shares in connection and with respect to the Transaction; or (ii) with respect to Options or any other unvested Awards - be cancelled, effective as of the effective date of such Transaction. In the case of such assumption and/or substitution of Awards, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Purchase Price, or to the number of Awards (in case of Restricted Shares or RSUs) if applicable, so as to reflect such action and all other terms and conditions of the Grant Notification Letters shall remain unchanged, including but not limited to the vesting schedule, 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 within 5 days following the effective date of such Transaction. In the event that the Board elects to cancel the unexercised Awards, effective as of the effective date of the Transaction, the Company shall notify the Grantee of such election within 5 days following the effective date of such Transaction. To the extent that unexercised vested Awards are cancelled by election of the Board, the Company shall ensure that each Grantee holding unexercised vested Awards, receives, per Share underlying such Award (whether directly or by way of payment to a trustee holding such Grantees Award) – in the context of the Transaction and subject to any applicable deductions for withholding taxes, escrows, hold-backs, etc. – the positive excess (if any) of the per-Share consideration being received by the holders of Shares in the Transaction over the per-Share Purchase Price of the unexercised vested Award held by such Grantee. In order to remove any doubt, and unless otherwise determined by the Board (and if so determined, the provisions of Section 6.2 shall apply, mutatis-mutandis), any and all vested Restricted Shares shall be sold within the course of such Transaction, and Grantee shall be entitled to the applicable consideration thereof pursuant to the foregoing mechanism.

 

7

 

 

6.2For the purposes of Section 6.1 above, an Option, or an unvested RSU or Restricted Share, shall be considered assumed or substituted if, following the Transaction, the respective foregoing Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share underlying such 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 per-share consideration to be received upon the exercise of the foregoing 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 such Award for awards of the Successor Company or its parent or subsidiary, such Awards will be substituted for any other type of asset or property, including cash, which is fair under the circumstances. In such case, the vesting terms shall continue to apply with respect to the substituted asset or property, unless otherwise determined by the Board.

 

6.3Unless otherwise expressly determined by the Board, all Options and/or RSUs, whether vested or unvested, and unvested RS, shall expire and be cancelled (or forfeited, as applicable), automatically, in the event that the Company is under a liquidation or dissolution proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary.

 

6.4Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, prior to the completion of the IPO all or substantially all of the shares of the Company are proposed to be sold, or in case of a Transaction, all or substantially all of the shares of the Company are proposed to be exchanged for securities of another Company, then each Grantee shall be obliged to sell or exchange, as the case may be, any Shares such Grantee purchased under the Scheme, in accordance with the instructions, if any, issued by the Board in connection with the Transaction, whose determination shall be final.

 

6.5If 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, spin-off 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 an Award therefore granted, and the Purchase Prices, if applicable, shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted so as to maintain the proportionate number of Shares without changing the aggregate Purchase Price. Upon happening of any of the foregoing, the class and aggregate number of Shares issuable pursuant to the Scheme (as set forth in Section 6 hereof), in respect of which Awards have not yet been exercised and/or vested, shall be appropriately adjusted, all as will be determined by the Board whose determination shall be final.

 

6.6Should the Company declare a cash dividend to its shareholders, the number of Awards and the per-share Purchase Price thereunder shall not be adjusted.

 

6.7Notwithstanding anything to the contrary mentioned above, subject to this Section 6, the Grantee shall not be entitled to receive portion of Shares (or any substitute or asset exchanged therefor), and the number of shares (or other assets) allocated to the Grantee pursuant to any adjustments made pursuant to this Section 6, shall be rounded as to nearest whole number of shares (or other assets) and the provisions of this Scheme shall apply accordingly.

 

8

 

 

6.8Without derogating from the provisions of the Scheme, it is to be clarified that in the event that the Company’s shares shall be registered for trading on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd., no exercise of an Option shall be made on the determination dates of the distribution of any share dividend (bonus shares), cash dividend, rights offering, share split, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization, or any other like event by or of the Company (the: “Company’s Event”). Also, it is to be clarified that if the “X” date of a Company’s Event occurs prior to the determination date of a Company’s Event, no exercise of an Option shall be made on the “X” date.

 

6.9In the event that the Company’s Shares shall be registered for trading in any public market, the Grantee acknowledges that Grantee’s rights to sell the Shares may be subject to certain limitations (including a legal and/or contractual lock-up period) as will be required by law, requested by the Company or by its underwriters, and the Grantee unconditionally agrees and accepts any such limitations and shall timely execute any required documents reflecting the same.

 

7TERM AND EXERCISE OF AWARDS

 

7.1Options 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, which exercise shall be effective upon receipt of such notice by the Company and/or the Representative and the payment of the Purchase Price at the Company’s or the Representative’s principal office. The notice shall specify the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised. Other Awards are exercisable in accordance with the respective terms under Section 8.

 

7.2Always subject to the provisions of Sections 8.3 through 8.8 in connection with Awards issued therewith, Awards, to the extent not previously exercised, shall terminate forthwith upon the earlier of: (i) the date set forth in the Grant Notification Letter; (ii) the expiration of any extended period in any of the events set forth in Section 7.5 below; or (iii) the date upon which the Company becomes subject to a liquidation or dissolution proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary (unless otherwise determined by the Board).

 

7.3The 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 7.5 below, the Grantee is employed by or providing services to the Company or any of its affiliates, at all times during the period beginning with the granting of the Option and ending upon the date of exercise.

 

7.4Subject to the provisions of Section 7.5 below and Sections 8.3 through 8.8, 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. For the avoidance of doubt, in case of such Termination of Employment or Service, the unvested portion of the Grantee’s Option shall not vest and shall not become exercisable and the Grantee shall have no claim against the Company and/or its affiliate that his/her Options were prevented from continuing to vest as of such termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary mentioned above, a Grantee shall not cease to be an Employee only due to the transfer of such Employee’s employment among the Company and its affiliates.

 

9

 

 

7.5Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinabove and unless otherwise determined in the Grantee’s Grant Notification Letter and/or with respect to Awards granted under Sections 8.3 and/or 8.4, a Vested Award 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 Awards at the time of such termination according to the Vesting Dates, if:

 

(i) termination is without Cause, in which event any Vested Option still in force and unexpired may be exercised within a period of ninety (90) days from the Termination Date; or-

 

(ii) termination is the result of death or disability of the Grantee, in which event any Vested Option still in force and unexpired may be exercised within a period of twelve (12) months from the Termination Date; or -

 

(iii) prior to the date of such termination, the Committee shall authorize an extension of the terms of all or part of the Vested Options 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.

 

For the purpose of this Section 7.5 and Section 7.4 above, “Termination of Grantee’s Employment or Services” and/or “Termination Date” shall be considered the actual termination date, not the date of on which notice of termination was delivered to the Grantee.

 

For avoidance of any doubt, if termination of employment or service is for Cause, any outstanding unexercised Award (whether vested or non-vested), will immediately expire and terminate, and the Grantee shall not have any right in connection to such outstanding Award.

 

7.6Any form of Grant Notification Letter authorized by the Scheme may contain such other provisions as the Committee may, from time to time, deem advisable.

 

7.7The Awards and any underlying Shares are extraordinary, one-time benefits granted to the Grantee and are not and shall not be deemed a salary component for any purpose whatsoever, including in connection with calculating severance compensation under applicable law.

 

7.8Neither the Grantee nor any other person, as the case may be, shall have any claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation by the Company for uniformity of treatment of Grantees or their beneficiaries (if applicable). The terms and conditions of the Awards granted under this Scheme and any of the Board’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Grantee (whether or not such Grantees are similarly situated).

 

7.9For the purposes of this Scheme, the termination, expiration or cancellation of an Award which is an RS and/or an RSU, shall mean the forfeiture of Grantee of such Award, without any further actions on behalf of Grantee or Company, unless otherwise decided by the Board or the Committee (if applicable).

 

10

 

 

8.GRANT AND VESTING OF AWARDS

 

8.1Subject to the provisions of the Scheme, the Board may grant Awards to Grantees. Each Award shall vest following the Vesting Dates and for the number of Shares as shall be provided in the Grant Notification Letter. However, no Award shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date.

 

8.2An Award 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 Awards may vary.

 

Restricted shares

 

8.3The Board may award Restricted Shares to any Grantee. Each Award of Restricted Shares under this Scheme shall be evidenced by an applicable Grant Notification Letter, in such form as the Board shall from time to time approve. The Restricted Shares shall be subject to all applicable terms of this Scheme, which in the case of Restricted Shares granted under any local Annex shall include the respective tax provisions under this Scheme and/or respective Annex thereof, and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with this Scheme. The Restricted Share Grant Notification Letters shall comply with and be subject to the Scheme unless otherwise specifically provided in such Grant Notification Letter and not inconsistent with this Scheme, or applicable law:

 

(a)Each Restricted Share Grant Notification Letter shall state an amount of Exercise Price to be paid by the Grantee, if any, in consideration for the issuance of the Restricted Shares and the terms of payment thereof, which may include, payment in cash or by issuance of promissory notes or other evidence of indebtedness on such terms and conditions as determined by the Board.

 

(b)Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution (in which case they shall be transferred subject to all restrictions then or thereafter applicable thereto), until such Restricted Shares shall have vested (the period from the date on which the Award is granted until the date of vesting of the Restricted Share thereunder being referred to herein as the “Restricted Period”). The Board may also impose such additional or alternative restrictions and conditions on the Restricted Shares, as it deems appropriate, including the satisfaction of performance criteria. Such performance criteria may include, but are not limited to, sales, earnings before interest and taxes, return on investment, earnings per share, any combination of the foregoing or rate of growth of any of the foregoing, as determined by the Administrator or pursuant to the provisions of any Company policy required under mandatory provisions of applicable Law. Certificates for shares issued pursuant to Restricted Share Awards shall bear an appropriate legend referring to such restrictions, if applicable, and any attempt to dispose of any such shares in contravention of such restrictions shall be null and void and without effect. Such certificates may, if so determined by the Board, be held in escrow by an escrow agent appointed by the Board. In determining the Restricted Period of an Award, the Board may provide that the foregoing restrictions shall lapse with respect to specified percentages of the awarded Restricted Shares on successive anniversaries of the date of such Award.

 

(c)Subject to such exceptions as may be determined by the Board, if the Grantee’s continuous employment with or service to the Company or any Affiliate thereof shall terminate for any reason prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period of an Award or prior to the timely payment in full of the Exercise Price of any Restricted Shares (if any), any Shares remaining subject to vesting or if applicable, with respect to which the purchase price has not been paid in full, shall thereupon be forfeited, transferred to, and redeemed, repurchased or cancelled by, as the case may be, in any manner as set forth in this Scheme, subject to applicable Laws and the Grantee shall have no further rights with respect to such Restricted Shares.

 

11

 

 

(d)During the Restricted Period the Grantee shall possess all incidents of ownership of such Restricted Shares, subject to the other terms of this Scheme, including the right to vote and receive dividends with respect to such Shares. All securities, if any, received by a Grantee with respect to Restricted Shares as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, or other similar transaction shall be subject to the restrictions applicable to the original Award.

Grant Notification Letter relating to the grant of RSUs under this Scheme, shall be in such form as the Board shall from time to time approve. The RSUs shall be subject to all applicable terms of this Scheme, mutatis mutandis, which in the case of RSUs shall include Section 17 herein (and other applicable tax provisions prescribed under the applicable Annex) and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with this Scheme. The provisions of the various Grant Notification Letters need not be identical. RSUs may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Grantee’s other compensation.

 

8.5No payment of Exercise Price shall be required as consideration for RSUs, unless included in the Grant Notification Letter or as required by applicable law.

 

8.6The Grantee shall not possess or own any ownership rights in the Shares underlying the RSUs and no rights as a shareholder shall exist prior to the actual issuance of Shares in the name of the Grantee.

 

8.7Shares shall be issued to or for the benefit of Grantee promptly following each Vesting Date determined by the Administrator, provided that Grantee is still engaged by the Company on the applicable Vesting Date. After each such Vesting Date the Company shall promptly cause to be issued, for the benefit of Grantee, Shares with respect to RSUs that became vested on such Vesting Date. It is clarified that no Shares shall be issued pursuant to the RSUs to Grantee until the vesting criteria determined by the Administrator is met.

 

8.8Settlement of vested RSUs shall be made in the form of Shares. Distribution to a Grantee of an amount (or amounts) from settlement of vested RSUs can be deferred to a date after settlement as determined by the Board. The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until the grant of RSUs is settled, the number of Shares underlying such RSUs shall be subject to adjustment pursuant hereto, mutatis mutandis.

 

9.SHARES SUBJECT TO RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

 

9.1Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Articles of Association of the Company, none of the Grantees shall have a right of first refusal in relation with any sale of shares in the Company.

 

9.2Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, until such time as the Company shall complete an IPO, a Grantee shall not have the right to sell Shares issued in accordance with an Award within six (6) months and one day of the date of exercise or vesting of such Award or issuance of such Shares. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, until such time as the Company shall complete an IPO, the sale of Shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of an Award, as applicable, shall be subject to a right of first refusal on the part of the Repurchaser(s).

 

Repurchaser(s) means (i) the Company, if permitted by applicable law (and without derogating from the provisions herein regarding the termination or cancellation of Restricted Stock, RSUs, etc.), (ii) if the Company is not permitted by applicable law, then any affiliate of the Company designated by the Committee; or (iii) if no decision is reached by the Committee, then the Company’s existing shareholders (save, for avoidance of doubt, for other Grantees who already exercised their Awards), pro rata in accordance with their shareholding.

9.3The Notice shall specify the name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (hereinafter the “Proposed Transferee”), the number of Shares offered for sale, the price per Share and the payment terms.

12

 

 

9.4If by the end of the Notice Period not all of the offered Shares have been purchased by the Repurchaser(s), the Grantee shall be entitled to sell such Shares at any time during the ninety (90) days following the end of the Notice Period on terms not more favorable than those set out in the Notice, provided that the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this section shall continue to apply to the Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. Any sale of Shares issued under the Scheme by the Grantee that is not made in accordance with the Scheme or the Grant Notification Letter shall be null and void.

12.RESTRICTIONS ON ASSIGNABILITY AND SALE OF AWARDS

 

Subject further to the provisions of Section 8, no Award, 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, other than by will or by laws of decent and distribution, or as specifically otherwise allowed under the Scheme,, 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; provided however, that Vested Awards which are RS shall be transferable subject to the limitations under this Scheme and the provisions of the Company’s Articles of Association (as amended) and/or any other shareholders agreement in effect at such time, to which the Company has been made a party.

13

 

 

13.EFFECTIVE DATE, DURATION, AMENDMENTS OR TERMINATION OF THE SCHEME

The Scheme, and the granting and exercise of Awards hereunder, and the obligation of the Company to sell and deliver Shares under such Awards, shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, whether of the State of Israel or of the United States or any other State having jurisdiction over the Company and the Grantee, including the registration of the Shares under the United States Securities Act of 1933, and the Ordinance and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Company to register the Shares under the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

 

15.CONTINUANCE OF EMPLOYMENT OR HIRED SERVICES

 

Neither the Scheme nor the Grant Notification Letter with the Grantee shall impose any obligation on the Company or an Affiliate thereof, to continue any Grantee in its employ or service, and nothing in the Scheme or in any Awards granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Grantee any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate thereof or restrict the right of the Company or an Affiliate thereof to terminate such employment or service at any time.

 

14

 

 

16.GOVERNING LAW & JURISDICTION

 

The Scheme shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws.

For the avoidance of doubt, prior grant of options to Grantees of the Company under their employment agreements, and not in the framework of any previous option scheme, shall not be deemed an approved incentive arrangement for the purpose of this Section.

 

19.MULTIPLE AGREEMENTS

 

The terms of each Award may differ from other Awards granted under the Scheme at the same time, or at any other time. The Board may also grant more than one Award to a given Grantee during the term of the Scheme, either in addition to, or in substitution for, one or more Awards previously granted to that Grantee.
