Options expire if not exercised before the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. The exercise price of the already allotted Options is US$ 3.49 per Option for 220,000 options and 3.92US$ per option for 15,000 options.

The exercise price of the Options, which shall be offered in the future, shall be determined by Valor in accordance with applicable law, and will be specified in each Option agreement with the Employee. The Plan Options are being offered to the Israeli Employees subject to the provisions of Sec. 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance ('ITO') and to special arrangement, including, inter alia, the depositing of the Options and/or the Shares with a trustee or subject to provision of section 3(i) of the ITO. If not determined otherwise, options granted to the Optionee under the R3 Plan shall vest in two portions (2/3 of the Options granted shall vest 2 years after the date of grant and 1/3 of the Options granted shall vest 3 years after the date of grant). Options expire if not exercised by the date on which three (3) years and three (3) months from the Date of Grant have lapsed. The exercise price of the already allotted Options shall be US$ 3.62 per Option for 487,500 options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the following provisions shall apply with respect to Options granted under the R3 Plan: a.
