Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (Time Vested)
2020 Israeli Equity Incentive Sub Plan to the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan
Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (Time Vested)
Exhibit A
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
For valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
|
|
1. |
Award of Restricted Stock Units. |
In consideration of the Participant's employment, the Company has granted to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Company's 2020 Israeli Equity Incentive Sub Plan (the “Sub Plan”) to the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), an award with respect to the number of restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) set forth in the Notice of Grant that forms part of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Notice of Grant”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) upon vesting of the RSU, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
It is intended that the RSUs evidenced by this agreement shall be awarded subject to and in accordance with Section 102(b)(2) of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 5721, 1961 as now in effect or as hereafter amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Ordinance”), (Capital Gain Award as defined in the Sub-Plan).
|
|
2. |
Vesting. |
|
(b) |
Upon the vesting of the RSUs, the Company will deliver to the Trustee (as defined in the Sub Plan), for each RSU that becomes vested, one share of Common Stock, subject to the payment of any withholding taxes pursuant to Section 7 (if applicable). The Common Stock will be delivered as soon as practicable following each vesting date, but in any event within 30 days of such date. |
|
|
|
3. |
Forfeiture of Unvested RSUs Upon Termination of Employment. |
1
|
shall be forfeited immediately and automatically to the Company, without the payment of any consideration to the Participant, effective as of such cessation. The Participant shall have no further rights with respect to the unvested RSUs or any Common Stock that may have been issuable with respect thereto. If the Participant is employed by a subsidiary of the Company, any references in this Agreement to employment by the Company shall instead be deemed to refer to such subsidiary. |
|
|
(b) |
In the event that the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Plan) within one year following the consummation of a Change in Control Event (as defined in the Plan), all of the RSUs that are unvested and have not been forfeited as of the time of such termination shall immediately vest in full on the Participant’s date of termination. Upon the vesting of the RSUs as described in this Section 3(b), the Company will deliver to the Trustee, for each RSU that becomes vested, one share of Common Stock, subject to the payment of any taxes pursuant to Section 7. The Common Stock will be delivered as soon as practicable following the Participant’s date of termination, but in any event within 30 days of such date. |
|
|
|
4. |
Restrictions on Transfer. |
The Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively “transfer”) any RSUs, or any interest therein. The Company shall not be required to treat as the owner of any RSUs or issue any Common Stock to any transferee to whom such RSUs have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
|
|
5. |
Rights as a Stockholder. |
The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock that may be issuable with respect to the RSUs until the issuance of the shares of Common Stock following the vesting of the RSUs.
|
|

|
|
(b) |
No Right to Continued Employment. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that the vesting of the RSUs is contingent upon his or her continued employment in the Company, this Agreement does not constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment or confer upon the Participant any rights with respect to a continued employment in the Company. |
|
|
(c) |
No Right to Accelerate or Defer. The delivery of shares of Common Stock on the vesting of the RSUs may not be accelerated or deferred unless permitted or required by the Ordinance. |

The Participant understands that Personal Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan and the Sub Plan, that these recipients may be located in the Participant’s country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country.

The Participant understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative. For purposes of this Section 8(d), if the Participant is employed by a subsidiary of the Company, any references in this Section 8(d) to the Company shall be deemed to also refer to such subsidiary.
