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.

12.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Articles of Association of the Company, none of the Optionees shall have a right of first refusal in relation with any Sale (as hereinafter defined) of shares in the Company.

12.3. Sale, transfer, assignment or other disposal (collectively, “Sale”) of Shares issuable upon the exercise of an Option shall be subject to the rights of first refusal and co-sale rights of other shareholders of the Company as set forth in the Articles of Association of the Company or in any agreement among the Company and all or substantially all of its shareholders. In the event that neither the Articles of Association of the Company nor any such agreement shall provide for applicable rights of first refusal or co-sale rights, then, unless otherwise determined by the Board, until such time as the Company shall complete an IPO, the Sale of Shares issuable upon the exercise of an Option shall be subject to a right of first refusal on the part of the Repurchaser(s), as follows:

12.3.1. The Optionee shall give a notice of sale (hereinafter the “Notice”) to the Company in order to offer the Shares to the Repurchaser(s). The Company will forward the Notice to the applicable Repurchaser(s).

12.3.2. The Notice shall specify the name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (hereinafter the “Proposed Transferee”), the number of Shares offered for Sale, the price per Share and the payment terms. The Repurchaser(s) will be entitled for thirty (30) days from the day of receipt of the Notice (hereinafter the “Notice Period”), to purchase all or part of the offered Shares (if the Repurchaser(s) are shareholders of the Company, then such entitlement shall be on a pro rata basis, based on their respective holdings in the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital, on an as-converted basis).

12.3.3. If, by the end of the Notice Period, not all of the offered Shares have been purchased by the Repurchaser(s), the Optionee shall be entitled to Sell the Shares so remained unpurchased, at any time during the ninety (90) days following the end of the Notice Period on terms not more favorable to the Proposed Transferee than those set out in the Notice, provided that the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this section shall continue to apply to the Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee.

12.3.5. Prior to an IPO, and in addition to the right of first refusal, any transfer of Shares by an Optionee shall require the Board’s approval as to the identity of the transferee and as required under the Company’s Articles of Association.

12.3.6. All Shares issued upon exercise of Options shall be subject to repurchase by the Repurchaser(s).

Repurchase by the Repurchaser(s) shall be made at the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the date of repurchase; in the event of termination of employment or services of the Optionee for Cause, repurchase by the Repurchaser(s) shall be made at the nominal value of the Shares.

13.3.4. That the Optionee acknowledges that neither the ISOP nor the grant of Option or Shares thereunder shall impose any obligation on the Company to continue the engagement of the Optionee, and nothing in the ISOP or in any Option or Shares granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Optionee any right to continue being engaged by the Company, or restrict the right of the Company to terminate such engagement at any time.
