Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as Israeli counsel for Safe-T Group 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 an additional 1,500,000 of the Company's ordinary shares, no nominal value (the "Shares"), issuable under the Safe-T Group Amended and Restated Global Incentive Plan (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. 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.

We hereby 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 such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Very truly yours,

ORB Funding

On August 8, 2022, we closed a non-dilutive strategic funding agreement of up to \$4,000,000 to support the further growth of our consumer privacy solutions and our customer acquisition program. Under the terms of the agreement, ORB will provide the Company with a cash commitment of \$2,000,000 with an additional \$2,000,000 available subject to achievement of certain milestones. The funding, made through a series of cash installments until July 2023, will be allocated specifically towards our customer acquisition program for one of our consumer privacy solutions. ORB is controlled by Barak Avitbul, an accomplished technology industry entrepreneur and leader and the founder and former Chief Executive Officer of the Company's enterprise privacy business subsidiary, NetNut Ltd. In addition, Mr. Avitbul was granted an opportunity to make additional investments in the Company through a series of warrants enabling him to increase his future interest in Safe-T's businesses, including the attractive consumer privacy market. The warrants are exercisable at prices reflecting premiums ranging from approximately 130% to 300% of the closing share price at the date of the agreement, for periods of up to 3 years from the vesting dates of the respective warrants. Upon potential exercise of all granted warrants, the Company may receive additional aggregate gross proceeds of between \$2,000,000 and \$4,000,000, based upon the amount of additional funding provided. The Company shall have the right to require the exercise of all or any portion of the warrants if the closing price of the Company's Ordinary Shares exceeds 150% of the respective exercise price of each series of warrants for three consecutive trading days. The Company has obtained an irrevocable undertaking from both ORB and Mr. Avitbul which includes a grant of irrevocable proxy in connection with all voting rights attached to the Ordinary Shares of the Company underlying the warrants or any shares issued for repayment. The undertaking solely applies in connection with certain voting matters and in accordance with the recommendations put forward to shareholders by Safe-T's board of directors. The irrevocable undertaking will expire in regard to any shares sold by ORB or Mr. Avitbul on a stock exchange market or upon a change of control of the Company, which for the purpose of this undertaking means the acquisition by any individual, entity or group of beneficial ownership of more than 30% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company (excluding the holdings of Mr. Avitbul in the Company for calculation of the aforesaid 30% threshold). This irrevocable proxy will continue to apply to shares sold, transferred or otherwise disposed in a private market transaction unless ORB or Mr. Avitbul provide the Company with a 45-day advanced written notice of their intention to sell or transfer the shares, and provide the Company, or any assignee on its behalf, the right of first offer to negotiate such sale and transfer. This right of notice and first offer also applies to all Ordinary Shares of the Company that may originate from exercise of the Warrants.

CyberKick Transaction

On July 1, 2021, we entered into the Share Purchase Agreement with Takoomi Ltd., the Sellers (as defined in the agreement) and CyberKick Ltd., or CyberKick, pursuant to which on July 4, 2021 the Company acquired all of the outstanding share capital of CyberKick, a private Israeli company, which provides SaaS security and privacy tools for consumers. CyberKick is the legal holder of certain intangible assets which were transferred to it on the acquisition date. The initial consideration for the transaction was paid for in cash and with our Ordinary Shares, as set forth below.

In consideration for the purchased shares, we paid and agreed to pay to CyberKick's shareholders, named in this prospectus, or CyberKick's Selling Shareholders:

  • initial consideration paid on the closing of the transaction a combination of cash (\$3.7 million) and 4,062,045 Ordinary Shares (\$5.6 million); and
  • a potential earn-out payment of up to \$3 million in total, subject to certain revenue targets of CyberKick during the first and second year following the closing of the transaction. We may decide, at our sole discretion, to pay the earn-out consideration in whole or in part in equity. On July 17, 2022, we issued a total of 2,181,009 Ordinary Shares (equal to \$1.05 million) to CyberKick's Selling Shareholders for qualifying with the designated revenue targets of the first-year anniversary of the Share Purchase Agreement.

The Company has obtained an irrevocable undertaking from two of CyberKick's Selling Shareholders, Mr. Rotem Lev and Mr. Yotam Benattia, which includes a grant of irrevocable proxy in connection with all voting rights attached to the Ordinary Shares issued to them under the Share Purchase Agreement. The irrevocable undertaking applies solely in connection with certain voting matters and in accordance with the recommendations put forward to shareholders by Safe-T's board of directors. The irrevocable undertaking will expire (with respect to any shares sold by such CyberKick's Selling Shareholders) upon a change of control of the Company, or if such CyberKick's Selling Shareholders become non-executive officers of the Company and with accumulated holdings of less than 2.5% of the then issued and outstanding share capital, or upon a transaction by the Company involving an issuance of at least 5% of the then issued and outstanding share capital.

Forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "continue," "believe," "should," "intend," "project" or other similar words, but are not the only way these statements are identified.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. We have based these forward-looking statements on assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate.

These statements are only current predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. We discuss many of these risks in this prospectus in greater detail under the heading "Risk Factors" and other risk factors contained in the documents incorporated by reference herein. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. In addition, the section of our 2021 Annual Report entitled "Item 4.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, performance, or achievements. Except as required by law, we are under no duty to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling shareholders of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of the securities covered hereby on the principal trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

  • ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
  • block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
  • purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
  • an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
  • privately negotiated transactions;
  • settlement of short sales;
  • in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling shareholder to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
  • through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
  • a combination of any such methods of sale; or
  • any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling shareholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

In connection with a privately negotiated transaction with ORB, as described above under "Our Company," we have obtained an irrevocable undertaking from both ORB and Mr. Avitbul which includes a grant of irrevocable proxy in connection with all voting rights attached to the Ordinary Shares of the Company underlying the warrants or any shares issued for repayment. This irrevocable proxy will continue to apply to shares sold, transferred or otherwise disposed in a privet market transaction unless ORB or Mr. Avitbul provide the Company with a 45-day advanced written notice of their intention to sell or transfer the shares, and provide the Company, or any assignee on its behalf, the right of first offer to negotiate such sale and transfer. This right of notice and first offer also applies to all Ordinary Shares of the Company that may originate from exercise of the Warrants.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with Rule 2440 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out his short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling shareholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Any fees related to conversions of the Ordinary Shares to ADSs will be assumed and payable by the selling shareholders named in this prospectus.

The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Ordinary Shares for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Service of process upon us and upon our directors and officers and the Israeli experts named in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, a substantial majority of whom reside outside of the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets and a substantial of our directors and officers are located outside of the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors and officers may not be collectible within the United States.

We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel, Sullivan & Worcester Tel-Aviv (Har-Even & Co.), that it may be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws reasoning Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In Israeli courts, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact which can be a time-consuming and costly process and certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.

Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, Israeli courts may enforce a U.S. judgment in a civil matter which, subject to certain exceptions, is non-appealable, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and including a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that among other things:

● the judgment was rendered by a court which was, according to the laws of the state of the court, competent to render the judgment;

  • the obligation imposed by the judgment is enforceable according to the rules relating to the enforceability of judgments in Israel and the substance of the judgment is not contrary to public policy; and
  • the judgment is executory in the state in which it was given.

Even if these conditions are met, an Israeli court will not declare a foreign civil judgment enforceable if:

  • the judgment was given in a state whose laws do not provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to exceptional cases);
  • the enforcement of the judgment is likely to prejudice the sovereignty or security of the State of Israel;
  • the judgment was obtained by fraud;
  • the opportunity given to the defendant to bring its arguments and evidence before the court was not reasonable in the opinion of the Israeli court;
  • the judgment was rendered by a court not competent to render it according to the laws of private international law as they apply in Israel;
  • the judgment is contradictory to another judgment that was given in the same matter between the same parties and that is still valid; or
  • at the time the action was brought in the foreign court, a lawsuit in the same matter and between the same parties was pending before a court or tribunal in Israel.

If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out of Israel. The usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the judgment, but the judgment debtor may make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus interest at the annual statutory rate set by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Under the Companies Law, a company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach of the duty of loyalty. An Israeli company may exculpate an office holder in advance from liability to the company, in whole or in part, for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of duty of care but only if a provision authorizing such exculpation is included in its articles of association. Our Articles of Association contain such a provision. An Israeli company may not exculpate a director from liability arising out of a prohibited dividend or distribution to shareholders.

An Israeli company may indemnify an office holder in respect of the following liabilities and expenses incurred for acts performed as an office holder, either in advance of an event or following an event provided a provision authorizing such indemnification is contained in its articles of association:

  • a financial liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person pursuant to a judgment, including a settlement or arbitrator's award approved by a court. However, if an undertaking to indemnify an office holder with respect to such liability is provided in advance, then such an undertaking must be limited to events which, in the opinion of the board of directors, can be foreseen based on the company's activities when the undertaking to indemnify is given, and to an amount or according to criteria determined by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances, and such undertaking shall detail the abovementioned events and amount or criteria;
  • reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees, incurred 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 (i) no indictment was filed against such office holder as a result of such investigation or proceeding; and (ii) no financial liability, such as a criminal penalty, was imposed upon him or her as a substitute for the criminal proceeding 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; and (b) in connection with a monetary sanction;
  • reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees, incurred by the office holder or imposed by a court (i) in proceedings instituted against him or her by the company, on its behalf or by a third party, or (ii) in connection with criminal proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted, or (iii) as a result of a conviction for a crime that does not require proof of criminal intent; and
  • expenses, including reasonable litigation expenses and legal fees, incurred by an office holder in relation to an administrative proceeding instituted against such office holder, or certain compensation payments made to an injured party imposed on an office holder by an administrative proceeding, pursuant to certain provisions of the Israeli Securities Law.

An Israeli company may insure an office holder against the following liabilities incurred for acts performed as an office holder if and to the extent provided in the company's articles of association:

  • a breach of the duty of loyalty to the company, to the extent that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company;
  • a breach of the duty of care to the company or to a third party, including a breach arising out of the negligent conduct of the office holder;
  • a financial liability imposed on the office holder in favor of a third party;

II-1

  • a financial liability imposed on the office holder in favor of a third party harmed by a breach in an administrative proceeding; and
  • expenses, including reasonable litigation expenses and legal fees, incurred by the office holder as a result of an administrative proceeding instituted against him or her, pursuant to certain provisions of the Israeli Securities Law.

An Israeli company may not indemnify or insure an office holder against any of the following:

  • a breach of the duty of loyalty, except to the extent that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company;
  • a breach of duty of care committed intentionally or recklessly, excluding a breach arising out of the negligent conduct of the office holder;
  • an act or omission committed with intent to derive illegal personal benefit; or
  • a fine, monetary sanction or forfeit levied against the office holder.

Under the Israeli Companies Law, exculpation, indemnification and insurance of office holders must be approved by the compensation committee, the board of directors (and, with respect to directors and the chief executive officer, by the shareholders). However, under regulations promulgated under the Companies Law, the insurance of office holders shall not require shareholder approval and may be approved by only the compensation committee, if the engagement terms are determined in accordance with the company's compensation policy and that policy was approved by the shareholders by the same special majority required to approve a compensation policy, provided that the insurance policy is on market terms and the insurance policy is not likely to materially impact the company's profitability, assets or obligations.

Our Articles of Association allow us to exculpate, indemnify and insure our office holders for any liability imposed on them as a consequence of an act (including any omission) which was performed by virtue of being an office holder. Our office holders are currently covered by a directors and officers' liability insurance policy.

We have entered into agreements with each of our directors and executive officers exculpating them in advance from liability to us for damages caused to us as a result of a breach of duty of care, and undertaking to indemnify them. This exculpation and indemnification is limited both in terms of amount and coverage and it covers certain amounts regarding administrative proceedings insurable or indemnifiable under the Companies Law and our Articles of Association.

In the opinion of the SEC, however, indemnification of directors and office holders for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.

There is no pending litigation or proceeding against any of our office holders as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any office holder.

Item 10. Undertakings

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

  1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and a(l)(iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided, that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19 of this chapter if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

  • (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
  • (i) If the Registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
    • A. Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
    • B. Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

II-4

(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

  • (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
  • (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
  • (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
  • (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Registration Statement on Form F-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (the "Registration Statement") being filed by Safe-T Group Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the "Company"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for the registration of the re-sales by the selling shareholders identified in the Registration Statement (the "Selling Shareholders") of up to 11,264,440 American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") representing ordinary shares, no par value per share, of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") issued and issuable pursuant to certain earnout provisions described in the Registration Statement or upon the exercise of warrants described in the Registration Statement (the "Warrant ADSs"), each of such ADSs (once converted from Ordinary Shares to ADSs, if applicable) to be offered and sold from time to time by certain of the selling shareholders listed in the Registration Statement.

We are acting as Israeli counsel for the Company in connection with the Registration Statement. In connection herewith, we have examined the originals 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 (the "Articles"); (iii) resolutions of the board of directors of the Company which have heretofore been approved and which relate to the Registration Statement and the actions to be taken in connection with the offering of the securities; 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 our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and the legal competence of all signatories to such documents. Other than our examination of the documents indicated above, we have made no other examination in connection with this opinion.

We have further assumed that at the time of issuance and to the extent any such issuance would exceed the maximum share capital of the Company currently authorized, the number of Ordinary Shares that the Company is authorized to issue shall have been increased in accordance with the Company's Articles such that a sufficient number of Ordinary Shares are authorized and available for issuance under the Articles.

Except as expressly provided herein, no issue by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award.

Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding, and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made, with respect to the number or price of Shares subject to an Award.

4.2 Merger Transaction.

Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator and/or any other approval required under Law, in the event of a Merger Transaction, then: (i) any and all outstanding and unexercised and/or unvested Awards will be cancelled or repurchased (as applicable) for no consideration or for the Exercise Price if paid; (ii) the vested Awards shall be exchanged for the consideration received within the Merger Transaction by holders of Shares of the Company, subject to any payment or escrow arrangement, or any other arrangement determined within the scope of the Merger Transaction in relation to the Shares of the Company; and (iii) Granted Awards and/or Underlying Shares issued upon exercise of the Awards shall be sold by or on behalf of the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Merger Transaction and the holder of such Shares shall sign any and all documents required in order to give effect to such treatment. In addition, the Administrator in its sole discretion (subject to the receipt of any approval required under Law) may decide:

  • (A) If and how the unvested Granted Awards shall be exchanged, assumed, replaced, repurchased or accelerated;
  • (B) If and how vested Awards shall be exercised, exchanged, assumed, replaced and/or sold by the Trustee or the Company (as the case may be) on the behalf of Participants, including determining that all un-exercised vested Awards shall be cancelled for no consideration upon a Merger Transaction;
  • (C) How Granted Awards and/or Underlying Shares issued upon exercise of the Awards and held by the Trustee on behalf of Participants shall be replaced by the Trustee on behalf of the Participant; and
  • (D) How any treatment of Granted Awards may be made subject to any payment or escrow arrangement, or any other arrangement determined within the scope of the Merger Transaction in relation to the Shares of the Company.

In the case of assumption and/or substitution of Granted Awards, appropriate adjustments shall be made so as to reflect such action and all other terms and conditions of the Award Letter shall remain unchanged, including but not limited to the vesting schedule, all subject to the determination of the Board, which determination shall be at its sole discretion and final. The grant of any substitutes for the Granted Awards to Participants further to a Merger Transaction, as provided in this section, shall be considered to be in full compliance with the terms of this Plan. The value of the exchanged Granted Awards pursuant to this section shall be determined in good faith solely by the Board, based on the Fair Market Value, and its decision shall be final and binding on all the Participants.

Without derogating from the above, in the event of a Merger Transaction the Board shall be entitled, at its sole discretion (subject to the receipt of any approval required under Law), to (i) determinate a blackout period in connection with the exercise of any Award; and (ii) require the Participants to exercise all vested Awards within a set time period and sell all of their Underlying Shares on the same terms and conditions as applicable to the other shareholders selling their Company's Shares as part of the Merger Transaction. Each Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Board shall be entitled, subject to any applicable law, to authorize any one of its members to sign share transfer deeds in customary form in respect of the Underlying Shares held by such Participant and that such share transfer deed shall bind the Participant.

Despite the aforementioned and for the avoidance of any doubt, if and when the method of treatment of Granted Awards within the scope of a Merger Transaction, as provided above, will in the sole opinion of the Board prevent the consummation of the Merger Transaction, or materially risk the consummation of the Merger Transaction, the Board (subject to the receipt of any approval required under Law) may determine different treatment for different Granted Awards held by Participants such that not all Granted Awards will be treated equally within the scope of the Merger Transaction.

In the event that the Granted Awards shall be cancelled or repurchased upon the consummation of a Merger Transaction, the Company shall provide notice to such Participants in same manner as provided regarding the Merger Transaction to any other shareholders of the Company not represented in the Board. Such notice shall be sent to the last known address of the Participants according to the records of the Company. The Company shall not be under any obligation to ensure that such notice was actually received by the Participants.

Fraction of Shares - In any event that the Company will be required to issue to a Participant fraction of Shares pursuant to this Section 4, the Company will not issue fraction of Shares and the number of Shares shall be rounded down to the closest number of Shares.

For the purposes of this section, the Company's calculation will be final, and the Participant shall have no claims or demands against the Company or anyone on its behalf.

4.3 [Reserved]

4.4 [Reserved]

4.5 Adjustment Due to a Change of Control: In the event of a Change of Control the Board shall be entitled, subject to the receipt of any approval required under Law, to apply any of the alternatives included in section 4.2 above as they deem appropriate in their sole and absolute discretion.

The Board determined that it was necessary and desirable to establish a sub-plan of the Plan for the purpose of granting Shares, Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units or Options to Eligible Persons who are residents of the United States or who are or may become subject to U.S. tax (i.e., income tax, social security and/or withholding tax ("U.S. Participants")), with such Options qualifying as either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Statutory Stock Options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, to cause all Restricted Share Units and Options under the Plan to be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code, and to cause all Shares, Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units and Options to comply with certain other provisions and exemptions under U.S. law.

3. TERMS

Shares, Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, Incentive Stock Options and Non-Statutory Stock Options shall be governed by the terms of the Plan to the extent not otherwise provided for in this U.S. Sub-Plan.

3.1 Eligibility and Certain Option Limitations.

  • 3.1.1 Eligibility. Non-Statutory Stock Options and Restricted Share Units may be granted under the U.S. Sub-Plan only to Eligible Persons. For purposes of the U.S. Sub-Plan, an "Eligible Person" means (i) an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, which term shall include any common-law employee as well as any person whom the Company or Subsidiary classifies as an employee (including any officer who is an employee) for employment tax purposes (whether or not such classification is correct), and any person who has been offered employment by the Company or a subsidiary or Subsidiary, provided that such prospective employee may not receive any payment or exercise any right relating to an Option until such person has commenced employment with the Company or Subsidiary (each, an "employee"), (ii) a non-employee executive officer or non-employee director of the Company or Subsidiary, or (iii) a consultant, advisor or other independent contractor of the Company or Subsidiary. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to an Eligible Person who is an employee (as determined under the statutory option rules of Section 421 et seq. of the Code) of the Company or of a "parent corporation" or "subsidiary corporation" (as those terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code and such subsidiary being an "ISO Subsidiary") with respect to the Company. A person shall not cease to be an employee in the case of (i) any military, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between or among the Company, and its Subsidiaries, or any successor. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed ninety days, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If the period of leave exceeds ninety (90) days and reemployment upon expiration of such leave is not so guaranteed, any Incentive Stock Option held by the grantee shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option on the 180th day following the first day of such leave and shall thereafter be treated for tax purposes as a Non-Statutory Stock Option. Neither service as a director nor payment of a director's fee by the Company shall be sufficient to constitute "employment" by the Company for purposes of the U.S. Plan.
  • 3.1.2 Term of Options. (a) The Board shall determine the term of each Option, provided that in no event shall any Option be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the effective Date of Grant of such Option and (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder shall expire later than five years from its Date of Grant.
  • 3.1.3 Exercise Price. The exercise price per share for an Option shall be determined by the Board, provided that such exercise price shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the effective Date of Grant of the Option. No Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder shall have an exercise price per share less than one-hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the effective Date of Grant of the Option.

  • 3.1.4 Exercise Payment. Shares purchased upon the exercise of an Option granted under the Plan shall be paid for as follows: (a) in cash or by check, payable to the order of the Company; (b) by payment in cash or by check, payable to the order of the Company, of the par value of the Shares to be acquired and by payment of the balance of the exercise price in whole or in part by delivery of the Participant's recourse promissory note, in a form specified by the Board and to the extent consistent with applicable law, secured by Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option and such other security as the Board may require; (c) except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable Grant Letter or approved by the Board, in its sole discretion, by (1) delivery of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price and any required tax withholding or (2) delivery by the Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price and any required tax withholding; (d) by delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of Shares owned by the Participant valued at their Fair Market Value, provided (1) the method of payment is then permitted under applicable law, (2) the Shares, if acquired directly from the Company, was owned by the Participant for a minimum period of time, if any, as may be established by the Board in its sole discretion, and (3) the Shares are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements; (e) in the case of a Non-Statutory Stock Option, by delivery of a notice of "net exercise" to the Company, as a result of which the Participant would receive (1) the number of shares underlying the portion of the Option being exercised less (2) such number of shares as is equal to (i) the aggregate exercise price for the portion of the Option being exercised divided by (ii) the value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise and, at the election of the Participant, less (iii) such number of shares as is equal in value to the withholding obligation (if any); (f) to the extent permitted by applicable law and provided for in the applicable Grant Letter or approved by the Board in its sole discretion, by payment of such other lawful consideration as the Board may determine; or (g) by any combination of the above permitted forms of payment.

  • 3.1.5 Exercise Restrictions. The exercise restrictions in Section 7.7 of the Plan shall apply to the extent allowed under U.S. federal or state law.
  • 3.1.6 Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision in Article 4 of the Plan, no adjustment shall be made to the terms or conditions of an Share, Restricted Share, Option or Restricted Share Unit under the terms of the Plan unless the adjustment would not otherwise cause adverse tax consequences to the Grantee under Code Section 409A or result in the loss of Incentive Stock Option status under Code Section 424 (without the Grantee's consent).
  • 3.1.7 Limits on Transferability. An Option shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the life of the Participant, an Option shall be exercisable only by him, by a conservator or guardian duly appointed for him by reason of his incapacity or by the person appointed by the Participant in a durable power of attorney acceptable to the Company's counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, the Board may in its discretion permit the Participant of an Non-Statutory Stock Option to transfer the Non-Statutory Stock Option to a member of the Immediate Family (as defined below) of the Participant, to a trust solely for the benefit of the Participant and the Participant's Immediate Family or to a partnership or limited liability company whose only partners or members are the Participant and members of the Participant's Immediate Family. "Immediate Family" shall mean, with respect to any Participant, the Participant's child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-inlaw, and shall include adoptive relationships.
  • 3.1.8 No Rights as Shareholder. A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by an Option or a Restricted Share Unit until the date of issuance of a stock certificate to him or her for the Shares. Notwithstanding Section 13.3 of the Plan, with respect to Option grants, U.S. Participants shall not receive, either directly or indirectly, any dividend payment for dividends accrued on Underlying Shares. With respect to Restricted Share Unit grants, the Board, at its sole discretion, may grant a dividend equivalent unit to any Participant upon such terms and conditions as it may establish. Each dividend equivalent unit will entitle the Participant, at the time of the settlement of the Restricted Share Unit, to an additional payment equal to the dividends the Participant would have received if the Participant had been the actual record owner of the underlying Shares on each dividend record date prior to settlement. The dividend equivalent unit may be settled in Shares or cash or a combination thereof.

3.2 Incentive Stock Options.

The following provisions shall control any grants of Options that are denominated as Incentive Stock Options.

  • 3.2.1 Grant of Incentive Stock Options. Each Option that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option must be designated in the Option Agreement as an Incentive Stock Option, provided that any Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option will be a Non-Statutory Stock Option to the extent the Option fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 422.
  • 3.2.2 Maximum ISO Limit. The maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed 250,000 Shares (the "ISO Share Limit") (subject to adjustment as provided in section 4 of the Plan), and shall be determined to the extent required under the Code, by reducing the number of Shares designated under section 3 of the Plan by the number of Shares issued pursuant to Options, provided that any Shares that are subject to Options issued under the Plan and forfeited back to the Plan before an issuance of Shares shall be available for issuance pursuant to future ISO Options. The maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to all Options other than Incentive Stock Options shall not be limited and shall be in accordance with section 3 of the Plan.
  • 3.2.3 Exercise Limitation. To the extent that Options that are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options (granted under all Shares plans of the Company, including the Plan) become exercisable by a U.S. Participant for the first time during any calendar year for Shares having a Fair Market Value greater than one-hundred thousand dollars (\$100,000), the portion of such Options which exceed such amount shall be treated as Non-Statutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 3.2.4, Options intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of Shares shall be determined as of the time the option with respect to such Shares is granted. If the Code is amended to provide for a limitation different from that set forth in this Section, such different limitation shall be deemed incorporated herein effective as of the date and with respect to such Options as required or permitted by such amendment to the Code. If an Option is treated as an Incentive Stock Option in part and as a Non-Statutory Stock Option in part by reason of the limitation set forth in this Section, the U.S. Participant may designate which portion of such Option the U.S. Participant is exercising. In the absence of such designation, the U.S. Participant shall be deemed to have exercised the Incentive Stock Option portion of the Option first. Upon exercise of the Option, Shares issued pursuant to each such portion shall be separately identified.

  • 3.2.4 Post-Termination Exercise. An Incentive Stock Option shall remain exercisable following a termination of employment (including Retirement) from the Company or an ISO Subsidiary, to the extent the Employee was entitled to exercise such Option at the date of termination of employment, only until the expiration of (A) three months after the termination of employment from the Company and an ISO Subsidiary for any reason, including any change in a U.S. Participant's engagement status between Employee and a consultant, but other than his or her death or disability (within the meaning of Code Section 22(e)(3)), and (B) one year after the termination of employment from the Company and any ISO Subsidiary on account of his or her death or disability (as defined above). In the case of the death of the U.S. Participant, the Option may be exercised by the U.S. Participant's estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance. If such disability is not a "disability" as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such Incentive Stock Option shall automatically cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Non-Statutory Stock Option on the day three months and one day following a termination of employment from the Company and any ISO Subsidiary on account of disability. Notwithstanding Section 10.4 of the Plan, the Administrator shall be permitted to extend any of the periods stated in Sections 10.1- 10.3 of the Plan only to the extent such extension is compliant with the Code and any applicable any federal or state law, rule or regulation.

  • 3.2.5. Modification. If an Incentive Stock Option is modified, extended or renewed (within the meaning of Code Section 424(h)), such Option will thereupon cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option
  • 3.2.6 Notice of Disposition. The U.S. Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of Shares acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within (a) two (2) years from the Date of Grant of such Incentive Stock Option or (b) one (1) year after the transfer of such Shares to the U.S. Participant.

3.3 Restricted Share Units.

The following additional provisions shall control any grants of Restricted Share Units:

  • 3.3.1 Number of Shares and Other Terms. The number of Shares subject to a Restricted Share Unit Award and the vesting period shall be determined by the Board or pursuant to the Plan.
  • 3.3.1 Purchase Price. Notwithstanding Section 7.1 of the Plan, U.S. Participants shall not be required to pay any consideration including the Purchase Price to receive Shares upon vesting of a Restricted Share Unit.
  • 3.3.1 Settlement and Delivery. Delivery of Shares in settlement of a Restricted Share Unit Award that vests shall occur as soon as administratively practicable following vesting, but in no event later than the fifteenth day of the third month following the close of the year in which vesting occurs.
  • 3.3.1 Release. Notwithstanding Section 7.5 of the Plan, U.S. Participants shall not be required to provide to the Company documentation evidencing the payment of taxes by the U.S. Participant as a condition to receiving any Shares or any other compensation or benefit under either the Plan or this U.S. Sub-Plan.

4. ADMINISTRATION OF U.S. SUB-PLAN

4.1 Manner of Exercise of Board Authority. At any time that a member of the Board is not a Qualified Member, any action of the Board relating to an Option intended to be covered by an exemption under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act may be taken by a committee or subcommittee, designated as the "U.S. Sub-Committee," composed solely of two or more Qualified Members or may be taken by the Board or the U.S. Sub-Committee but with each such member who is not a Qualified Member abstaining or recusing himself or herself from such action, provided that, upon such abstention or recusal, the Board or U.S. Sub-Committee remains composed of at least two or more Qualified Members. Such action, authorized by the U.S. Sub-Committee or by the Board upon the abstention or recusal of such non-Qualified Member(s), shall be the action of the Board for purposes of the Plan. The express grant of any specific power to the Board, and the taking of any action by the Board, shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Board. To the fullest extent authorized under applicable law, the Board may delegate to officers or managers of the Company or any Affiliate, or committees thereof, the authority, subject to such terms as the Board shall determine, to perform such functions, including administrative functions, as the Board may determine, to the extent that such delegation will not cause Options intended to qualify for an exemption under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act to fail to so qualify.

  • 4.2 Exemptions from Section 16(b) Liability. With respect to a U.S. Participant who is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act in respect of the Company, the Board shall implement transactions under the Plan and administer the Plan in a manner that will ensure that each transaction with respect to such a U.S. Participant is exempt under Rule 16b-3 (or satisfies another exemption under Section 16(b)), except that this provision shall not limit sales by such a U.S. Participant, and such a U.S. Participant may engage in other non-exempt transactions with respect to shares delivered under the Plan.
  • 4.3 Compliance with Legal and Other Requirements. The Company may, to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the Board, postpone the issuance or delivery of Shares until completion of such registration or qualification of such Shares or other required action under any federal or state law, rule or regulation or listing or other required action with respect to any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares or other securities of the Company are listed or quoted, as the Board may consider appropriate, and may require any U.S. Participant to make such representations, furnish such information and comply with or be subject to such other conditions as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations or listing requirements. Specifically, in connection with the Securities Act, upon the exercise of any Option or settlement of a Restricted Share Unit, the Company shall not be required to issue shares unless the Board has received evidence satisfactory to it to the effect that the Participant will not transfer the shares except pursuant to a registration statement in effect under the Securities Act or unless an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company has been received by the Company to the effect that such registration is not required. Any determination in this connection by the Board shall be conclusive. The Company shall not be obligated to take any other affirmative action in order to issue any shares upon the exercise of any Option or to settle any Restricted Share Unit to comply with any law or regulations of any governmental authority, including, without limitation, the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws/ any applicable securities laws.

5. TAX PROVISIONS

5.1 Section 409A Compliance. The Company intends that Shares, Restricted Shares, Options and Restricted Share Units granted pursuant to the Plan to U.S. Participants be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code (including any amendments or replacements of such section), and the Plan shall be so construed. Notwithstanding other provisions of this U.S. Sub-Plan or any Grant Letters hereunder, unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, no Share, Restricted Share, Option or Restricted Share Unit shall be granted, deferred, accelerated, extended, settled, paid out or modified under this U.S. Sub-Plan in a manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code upon a U.S. Participant. In the event that it is reasonably determined by the Board that, as a result of Section 409A of the Code, payments in respect of any Share, Restricted Share, Option or Restricted Share Unit under the Plan may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms of the Plan or the relevant Grant Letter, as the case may be, without causing the U.S. Participant holding such Share, Restricted Share, Option or Restricted Share Unit to be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code, including as a result of the fact that the U.S. Participant is a "specified employee" under Section 409A of the Code, the Company will make such payment on the first day that would not result in the U.S. Participant incurring any tax liability under Section 409A of the Code. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the provisions of this Section 5.1 in good faith; provided, that neither the Company, the Board nor any of the Company's employees, directors or representatives shall have any liability to U.S. Participants with respect to this Section 5.1. Without limiting the foregoing, unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, the terms of Section 4 of the Plan as they relate to U.S. Participants shall be subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following such effective date the Board determines that any Share, Restricted Share, Option or Restricted Share Unit may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after such effective date), the Board may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Grant Letter or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Board determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Share, Restricted Share, Option or Restricted Share Unit from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Share, Restricted Share. Option or Restricted Share Unit, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance and thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes under such Section.

5.2 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by law, the Company may withhold or cause to be withheld income and other taxes with respect to any income recognized by a Participant by reason of the exercise of an Option or settlement of a Share, Restricted Share, or Restricted Share Unit, and as a condition to the receipt of any Share, Restricted Share, Option or Restricted Share Unit the Participant shall agree that if the amount payable to him or her by the Company or any Affiliate employing the Participant in the ordinary course is insufficient to pay such taxes, then the Participant shall upon the request of the Company pay to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy its tax.

6. LIMITATION ON RIGHTS CONFERRED UNDER U.S. SUB-PLAN

Neither this U.S. Sub-Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as (i) giving any Eligible Person or U.S. Participant the right to continue as an Eligible Person or U.S. Participant or in the employee or service of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, (ii) interfering in any way with the right of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate any Eligible Person's or U.S. Participant's employment or service at any time, (iii) giving an Eligible Person or U.S. Participant any claim to be granted any Share, Restricted Share, Option or Restricted Share Unit under the Plan or to be treated uniformly with other U.S. Participants and employees, or (iv) conferring on a U.S. Participant any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company unless and until the U.S. Participant is duly issued or transferred Shares in accordance with the terms of an Option or Restricted Share Unit, or an Option is duly exercised or the Restricted Share Unit is settled. Except as expressly provided in this U.S. Sub-Plan and a Grant Letter, neither this U.S. Sub-Plan nor any Grant Letter shall confer on any person other than the Company and the U.S. Participant any rights or remedies thereunder.

7. AUTHORIZATION OF SUB-PLAN

  • 7.1 Effectiveness. This U.S. Sub-Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board (the "Effective Date"). It shall continue in effect for a term of ten years from such date or from the date of its approval by the Shareholders, whichever is earlier, unless sooner terminated under the terms of the Plan. The Board may at any time amend the Plan; provided, however, that if Incentive Stock Options are granted under the Plan, without approval of the Company's shareholders there shall be no: (a) increase in the total number of Shares available to be issued as Incentive Stock Options, except by operation of the provisions of Section 4 of the Plan and Section 3.1.6 of this U.S. Sub-Plan or (b) change in the class of persons eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Plan; and provided, further, that there shall be no other change in the Plan that requires shareholder approval under applicable law unless such approval is obtained. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or a Share, Restricted Share, Option or Restricted Share Unit agreement, no amendment shall adversely affect outstanding Shares, Restricted Shares, Options or Restricted Share Units without the consent of the Participant. The Plan may be terminated at any time by action of the Board, but any such termination will not terminate Shares, Restricted Shares, Options or Restricted Share Units then outstanding, without the consent of the Participant.
  • 7.2 Shareholder Approval. Continuance of the Plan and this U.S. Sub-Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan and this U.S. Sub-Plan are adopted. Any Incentive Stock Options granted under this U.S. Sub-Plan before shareholder approval is obtained must be rescinded if shareholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months before or after the Plan and this U.S. Sub-Plan are adopted.
  • 7.3 Non-exclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of this U.S. Sub-Plan by the Board nor its submission to the shareholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or a committee thereof to adopt such other incentive arrangements, apart from the Plan or this U.S. Sub-Plan, as it may deem desirable, and such other arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

8. GOVERNING LAW

This U.S. Sub-Plan shall in all respects be governed by and be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principals of conflicts of laws, and applicable provisions of U.S. federal law. The state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute which may arise out of or in connection with this U.S. Sub-Plan and accordingly any proceedings, suit or action arising out of this U.S. Sub-Plan shall be brought in such courts.
