CHANGES IN THE PLAN; ADJUSTMENTS

8.1. The Company shall be entitled, from time to time, to update and/or change the terms of this Plan, in whole or in part, at its sole discretion, provided that such change shall not substantially financially derogate from the rights attached to the Options (whether vested or unvested) as of the date of such modification. The Company shall be entitled to update and/or change the rights attached to the Shares.

8.2. Upon the occurrence of a Transaction, the Committee shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to adjust the rights of an Optionee under the Plan, such as providing an Optionee with substitute securities of the Successor Company and/or other substitute compensation, as is reasonable in the opinion of the Committee, as long as the substitute securities and/or the compensation are calculated to be reasonable as compared to the compensation or substitute securities (or their financial equivalent) received by all or some of the holders of Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, in the Company other than the Optionee (the “Substitute Compensation”). Such opinion of the Committee shall be delivered to the Optionees and shall be final and conclusive. The Committee shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to decide that upon the occurrence of a Transaction, every unvested Option shall expire automatically, and shall have no value whatsoever.

8.3. Without derogating from the rights of the Company under sections 8.2 and 8.1 above, upon the occurrence of any of the following described events, Optionee’s rights to purchase Shares under the ISOP shall be adjusted as provided hereafter:

8.3.1. In the event of Transaction, the unexercised Options then outstanding under the ISOP may, according to the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee, be assumed or substituted for options to purchase an appropriate number of shares of each class of shares, or other securities of the Successor Company (or a parent or subsidiary of the Successor Company), per each Share underlying the assumed or substituted Option, as were distributed to the holders of Shares of the Company per each Share held, in connection with and pursuant to the Transaction. In the case of such assumption and/or substitution of Options, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price so as to reflect such action and all other terms and conditions of the Option Agreements shall remain unchanged, including but not limited to the vesting schedule, all subject to the determination of the Committee, which determination shall be in their discretion and final.

8.3.2. If, in any such Transaction, the Successor Company (or parent or subsidiary of the Successor Company) does not agree to assume or substitute any unexercised Options underlying such Option Agreement, the Vesting Dates of such Options may, according to the Committee’s discretion, be accelerated so that any such unexercised Options that are then unvested shall be immediately vested and exercisable as of the date that is ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the Transaction for a 10-day thereafter (upon expiration of which period the Options shall expire).

8.3.3. If the Company is voluntarily liquidated or dissolved while unexercised Options remain outstanding under the ISOP, the Company shall immediately notify all unexercised Option holders of such liquidation, and the Option holders shall then have ten (10) days to exercise any unexercised Vested Option held by them at that time, in accordance with the exercise procedure set forth herein. Upon the expiration of such ten-day period, all remaining unexercised Options will terminate immediately.

8.3.4. If the outstanding shares of the Company shall at any time be changed or exchanged due to exchange of shares, recapitalization, or any other like event by or of the Company, other than stock split, stock combination or bonus shares issuance, and as often as the same shall occur, then the number, class and kind of the Shares subject to the ISOP or subject to any Options therefore granted, and the Exercise Prices, shall be appropriately and equitably, as shall be determined by the Committee, adjusted, provided, however, that the Exercise Price shall not be less than the par value of the Share underlying any such Options, and provided further, that no adjustment shall be made by reason of the distribution of subscription rights (rights offering) on outstanding shares. Upon occurrence of any of the foregoing, the class and aggregate number of Shares issuable pursuant to the ISOP (as set forth in Section 3.1 hereof), in respect of which Options have not yet been exercised, shall be appropriately adjusted, all as will be determined by the Committee.

8.3.5. In the event of issuance of bonus shares to the Company’s shareholders which is not in the manner of a stock split, the terms of the Options shall be adjusted by way of (i) increasing the number of Exercise Shares to which the Offerees shall be entitled upon exercising the Option, by the same number of shares to which they would have been entitled as bonus shares had they exercised the Option prior to the effective date for being entitled to receive such bonus shares or (ii) reducing the exercise price or (iii) any combination of the above, all as shall be determined by the Committee.

8.3.6. In the event of a stock split or consolidation of the Company’s share capital, the number of shares to which Offeree(s) shall be entitled under their Option(s) shall be adjusted accordingly.

8.3.7. 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 Option.

The undersigned, as record holder of securities of JFrog Ltd.

(i)    to execute any agreement, waiver, amendment, consent or any other document, including without limitation, any shareholders’ agreements, amendment to shareholders’ agreement, waivers of rights of first refusal, waivers of anti dilution, waivers of rights to first offer, waivers of rights of co-sale, waivers of pre-emptive rights, waivers of bring-along rights and such other waivers, all in connection with the Shares;

(ii)    to attend and to vote in all shareholders’ meetings of the Company (including the right to receive on behalf of the Holder materials/information provided to shareholders), or execute and deliver written consents pursuant to applicable law, with respect to the Shares, in the same manner and with the same effect as if the Holder was personally present at any such meeting or voting such Shares or personally acting on any matters submitted to the Company’s shareholders for approval or consent, giving and granting to said Attorney-In-Fact full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing whether necessary or desirable that may be done as its Attorney-In-Fact in relation to the Shares other than to sell or transfer the Shares without the prior written consent of the Holder, provided however, that no such consent shall be required, and the Attorney-In-Fact shall have the right to sell or transfer the Shares without the prior written consent of the Holder, in the event of a sale of Shares effectuated as a result of an exercise of a “bring along” or in the event of a Transaction (as such term is defined under the Plan).

(iii)    To sign such other certificates, documents and agreements and take any and all other actions as the Attorney-In-Fact may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Proxy.

This Proxy shall be interpreted in the widest possible sense, in reliance upon the goals and intentions thereof and shall apply to any Securities currently held or to be held in the future by the Holder, or any permitted transferee, successor and/or assignee to which the Holder may transfer his Securities in the future, as if such transferee, successor and/or assignee had signed this Proxy.

This Proxy is an agency coupled with an interest and all authority conferred hereby shall be irrevocable, and shall not be terminated by any act of the undersigned or by operation of law, or by the occurrence of any other event or events, and it is hereby clarified that the Company shall serve as a third party beneficiary thereof, and no amendment or other modification shall be made to this Proxy or to any of the terms and conditions herein without the prior written consent of the Company.

This Proxy shall expire and cease to be of force and effect immediately after the consummation of the initial public offering of the Company’s shares, pursuant to an effective registration statement, prospectus or similar document in any jurisdiction as is determined by the Board and shall be irrevocable until such time as the rights of the Company and the Company’s shareholders are dependent hereon. The expiration of this Proxy shall in no manner effect the validity of any document (as aforesaid), affidavit or approval which has been signed or given as aforesaid prior to the expiration hereof and in accordance herewith.

By this Proxy, the Attorney-In-Fact shall vote such Shares on any issue brought before the shareholders of the Company either (i) pro-rata to the vote of the other shareholders of the Company, which are entitled to participate
