Vesting and Exercisability (a) Options to purchase 87,500 shares, 43,750 shares and 43,750 shares, respectively, will vest on the first three anniversaries of the Start Date (as defined in the Employment Agreement).
(b) If the Employee's employment with the Company terminates for any reason prior to the time that the Option has been fully exercised, the unexercised portion of the Option on the date of termination of employment (whether exercisable or not) shall immediately expire; provided, however, that (i) if the Employee's employment is terminated by reason of the Employee's disability (pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Employment Agreement), all portions of the Option that are vested at the time of termination shall remain exercisable for a period of one year from the date of such termination or until the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever is shorter; (ii) in the event of the death of the Employee while in the employ of the Company, all portions of the Option that are vested at the time of death shall remain exercisable by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the Employee under the will of the Employee for a period of one year from the date of such death or until the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever is shorter; and (iii) in the event the Employee is terminated without "Cause" (as defined in the Employment Agreement), or Executive terminates his employment for "Good Reason" (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then the Option shall become fully vested and exercisable and may be exercised for a period of five years from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever is shorter.
(c) The Board of Directors may, in the event the Executive's employment is terminated for Cause (as provided for in the Employment Agreement), annul the Option and, in such event, may require the Executive to return to the Company the economic benefit of any Option Shares purchased hereunder by the Executive within the six month period prior to the date of termination. In such event, the Executive hereby agrees to remit to the Company, in cash, an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Option Shares on the date of termination (or the sales price of such Shares if the Option Shares were sold during such six month period) and the exercise price of such Shares.
Vesting and Exercise Once vested, this Warrant may be exercised as -------------------- to such vested portion whether or not at the time of such exercise the Warrantholder is an employee of (or consultant to) the Company (or one or more of its subsidiaries); however, this Warrant shall automatically terminate as to any unvested portion at any such time as the Warrantholder is no longer employed by (or a consultant to) the Company (or any of its subsidiaries). If this Warrant is not exercised prior to 5:00 P.M. on the Expiration Date (or the next succeeding Business Day, if the Expiration Date is a Nonbusiness Day), this Warrant, or any new Warrant issued pursuant to Section 1.1, shall cease to be exercisable and shall become void and all rights of the Warrantholder hereunder shall cease. This Warrant shall not be exercisable, and no Warrant Shares shall be issued hereunder, prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the applicable Exercise Date.
Vesting and Exercisability of Option The Option shall vest, and may be exercised, with respect to the Shares as set forth in the Optionee Statement attached hereto and made a part hereof, subject to earlier termination of the Option as provided in Sections 1.4 and 6 hereof or in the Plan. The right to purchase the Shares as they become vested shall be cumulative and shall continue during the Exercise Term unless sooner terminated as provided herein.
Duration and Exercisability (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Option shall vest and may be exercised by Employee in cumulative installments on the following vesting dates as follows: ]
(b) Except as permitted pursuant to the Plan, (i) during the lifetime of Employee, the Option shall be exercisable only by Employee or, if permissible under applicable law, by Employee’s guardian or legal representative, (ii) the Option shall not be assignable or transferable by Employee, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules promulgated thereunder, and (iii) the Option may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or pledged, alienated, attached, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered in any manner (whether by operation of law or otherwise), and will not be subject to execution, attachment or other process. Any purported sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition of the Option or any attempt to make any such levy of execution, attachment or other encumbrance will cause the Option to terminate immediately, unless the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) or the General Counsel of the Company, in their sole and absolute discretion for any reason or no reason at any time and from time to time, specifically waives applicability of this provision.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, the Option shall expire, and shall cease to be exercisable, ten (10) years after the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”).
(d) The Company assumes no responsibility for individual income taxes, penalties or interest related to the grant, vesting, adjustment or exercise of the Option or any subsequent disposition of Common Shares. [Additionally, the Company assumes no responsibility in the event that the Option, or the tax treatment related thereto, is ultimately other than the tax treatment afforded for ISOs, whether such other treatment is the result of changes in the tax laws, a disqualifying disposition by Employee, or for any other reason.] Employee should consult with Employee’s personal tax advisor regarding the tax ramifications, if any, which result from the grant, vesting, adjustment or exercise of the Option, and any subsequent disposition of Common Shares. If, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion for any reason or no reason at any time and from time to time, it is necessary or appropriate to collect or withhold federal, state or local taxes in connection with the grant, vesting, adjustment or exercise of any portion of the Option and/or any subsequent disposition of Common Shares, the Company shall be entitled to require the payment of such amounts as a condition to exercise. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Employee shall pay or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all withholding obligations. In furtherance and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Employee (on its own behalf and on behalf of each and every other proper party as described in Section 2(b) and/or Section 3(c) of this Agreement) hereby authorizes the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion for any reason or no reason at any time and from time to time (including without limitation, pursuant to the then-current procedures implemented by the Administrator, as such Administrator and procedures are designated by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion for any reason or no reason at any time and from time to time), to satisfy all withholding and all other obligations with regard to any individual income taxes, penalties or interest related to the grant, vesting, adjustment or exercise of the Option and/or any subsequent disposition of Common Shares by one or a combination of the following:
i. withholding from any wages or other cash compensation payable to Employee by the Company;
ii. withholding Common Shares that are otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option;
iii. arranging for the sale of Common Shares that are otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, including, without limitation, selling Common Shares as part of a block trade with other employees under the Plan or otherwise; and/or
iv. withholding from the proceeds of the sale of Common Shares issued upon exercise of the Option.
(e) In considering the exercise of the Option, Employee understands, acknowledges, agrees and hereby stipulates that he or she should use the same independent investment judgment that Employee would use in making other investments in corporate securities. Among other things, stock prices will fluctuate over any reasonable period of time and the price of the Common Shares may go down as well as up. No guarantees are made as to the future prospects of the Company or the Common Shares, or that any market for sale of the Common Shares will exist in the future. No representations are made by the Company except as may be contained in any active registration statement on file with the SEC relating to the Plan at the time of the applicable exercise of the Option.
Option Vesting Options shall vest as follows:
(a) 100% of the Options shall vest on the 1st anniversary of the Grant Date;
(b) In the event of any change in control, merger or consolidation between the Company and any other entity (other than one in which the stockholders of the Company prior to such transaction receive, in exchange for their Company shares, stock of the surviving corporation and such stock constitutes more than 50% of the outstanding stock of the surviving corporation following such transaction), or any sale by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets, all Options then held by the Director that have not theretofore vested shall vest five days prior to the earlier of (i) the record date, if any, for such transaction and (ii) the closing date of such transaction, both subject to Section 4(a).
Vesting and Exercise of Option The Option shall vest and become exercisable during its term in accordance with the following provisions:
Stock Vesting Unless otherwise approved by the Board, all stock options and other stock equivalents issued after the date of this Agreement to employees, directors, consultants and other service providers shall be subject to vesting as follows: (a) twenty-five percent (25%) of such stock shall vest one year following the date of the grant, and (b) seventy-five percent (75%) of such stock shall vest in equal monthly installments over the next three years thereafter.
Equity Vesting All of the then-unvested shares subject to each of the Executive’s then-outstanding equity awards will immediately vest and, in the case of options and stock appreciation rights, will become exercisable (for avoidance of doubt, no more than 100% of the shares subject to the then-outstanding portion of an equity award may vest and become exercisable under this provision). In the case of equity awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals and other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at the greater of actual performance or 100% of target levels. Unless otherwise required under the next following two sentences or, with respect to awards subject to Section 409A of the Code, under Section 5(b) below, any restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, and/or similar full value awards that vest under this paragraph will be settled on the 61st day following the CIC Qualified Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Executive’s Qualified Termination occurs prior to a Change in Control, then any unvested portion of the Executive’s then-outstanding equity awards will remain outstanding for 3 months or the occurrence of a Change in Control (whichever is earlier) so that any additional benefits due on a CIC Qualified Termination can be provided if a Change in Control occurs within 3 months following the Qualified Termination (provided that in no event will the Executive’s stock options or similar equity awards remain outstanding beyond the equity award’s maximum term to expiration). In such case, if no Change in Control occurs within 3 months following a Qualified Termination, any unvested portion of the Executive’s equity awards automatically will be forfeited permanently on the 3-month anniversary of the Qualified Termination without having vested.
Exercise Period Vesting 4.1. 185,185 Series D Warrants to purchase up to 185,185 Warrant Shares (50% of Series D Warrants) shall vest on March 1, 2023 (the “Second Vesting Date”) and be exercisable as of the Second Vesting Date and for three (3) years thereafter, subject to Section 4.3 below.

Notwithstanding the above, if at any time from and after the date of issuance of the Warrants hereof, the closing price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on the TASE (or other stock exchange or market on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted, including by means of ADSs, as defined below) equals or exceeds US$2.025 [1.5 (one point five) of Series D Exercise Price per share], adjusted, if applicable, for the Company’s capital events, such as stock splits, etc., for three (3) consecutive trading days (the “Mandatory Exercise Measuring Period”), then the Company shall have the right to require the Holder and/or any of his Transferees, to exercise all or any portion of Series D Warrants, still unexercised (and in such event vesting of any such unexercised Series D Warrants required to be exercised shall be accelerated and all of them shall vest immediately), for a cash exercise, as designated in the Mandatory Exercise Notice on the Mandatory Exercise Date (each as defined below) into fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable Ordinary Shares, at the Series D Exercise Price (the “Mandatory Exercise”). The Company may exercise its right to require exercise under this Section 4.3 by delivering within not more than five (5) trading days following the end of such Mandatory Exercise Measuring Period a written notice thereof to the Holder (which notice for the purposes hereof shall also be deemed a notice to his Transferees (the “Mandatory Exercise Notice” and the date that Holder received such notice is referred to as the “Mandatory Exercise Notice Date”). The Mandatory Exercise Notice shall be irrevocable. The Mandatory Exercise Notice shall state (i) the trading day on which the Mandatory Exercise shall occur, which shall be the second trading day following the Mandatory Exercise Notice Date (the “Mandatory Exercise Date”) and (ii) the aggregate number of Warrants which the Company has elected to be subject to such Mandatory Exercise (the “Mandatory Exercise Warrants”) pursuant to this Section 4.3. If the Holder or any of his Transferees then holding the Warrants, fails to provide the Company on the Mandatory Exercise Date or within five (5) business days thereafter, with the aggregate exercise price of the Mandatory Exercise Warrants or any part thereof, at the end of such period any nonpaid Mandatory Exercise Warrants shall automatically terminate and become null and void.
4.4. Notwithstanding the above, this Warrant may not be exercised on the Record Date (as such term is defined under the TASE rules and regulations) of: (i) a distribution of bonus shares; (ii) a rights offer; (iii) any distribution of dividends; (iv) a consolidation of the share capital of the Company; (v) a share split; or (vi) a reduction of the share capital of the Company (each of the above: a “Corporate Event”). In addition, if the Ex-Date (as such term is defined under the TASE rules and regulations) for a Corporate Event occurs before the Record Date for such Corporate Event, then the Warrant may not be exercised on the said Ex-Date.
Vesting; Time of Exercise Except as specifically provided in this Agreement and subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan, the Optioned Shares shall be vested and the Stock Option shall be exercisable as follows:
