The information set forth in Item 4 is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

As an inducement for Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement (as defined in Item 4 below), on March 14, 2012, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of Zohar Zisapel, Yehuda Zisapel, Boaz Raviv, RAD Data Communications Ltd., RADbit Ltd., Lomsha Ltd. and Michael and Klil Holdings (93) Ltd.

21


CUSIP No. M81869105   SCHEDULE 13D    

 

becomes the beneficial owner or is otherwise able to direct the voting (the “Voting Shares”). Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each Shareholder agreed, among other things, to vote such Shareholder’s Voting Shares in favor of approving the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Merger (as defined in Item 4 below). The Voting Shares include 556,548 Shares subject to options that are exercisable within 60 days, which Shares may or may not be exercised by the Shareholders prior to a vote on the Merger Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. As described in response to Item 4, the Voting Shares to which this Schedule 13D relates have not been purchased by the Reporting Persons, and thus no funds were used by the Reporting Persons for such purpose.

The information set forth in response to this Item 3 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreements, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 99.2, 99.3, 99.4, 99.5, 99.6, 99.7 and 99.8 and are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

As an inducement for Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement (as defined below), the Shareholders entered into the Voting Agreements. The purpose of the Voting Agreements is to facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The Issuer, Parent and Sonic Acquisition Ltd. (“Merger Sub”) have entered into a merger agreement, dated as of March 14, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.9 whereby Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 314-327 of the Companies Law 5759-1999 of the State of Israel. Pursuant to the Merger, upon closing Merger Sub will cease to exist, the Issuer will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and each issued Share not owned by Parent, Merger Sub or the Issuer will be converted into the right to receive $11.85 per Share in cash. If the Merger is consummated as planned, the Reporting Persons anticipate that the Issuer will become controlled by the Reporting Persons and Parent and that the Reporting Persons will seek to cause the Shares to be delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and de-registered under the Exchange Act.

Upon consummation of the Merger, the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall be the directors of the surviving corporation until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be, in accordance with the surviving corporation’s articles of association. Upon consummation of the Merger, the officers of the Issuer immediately before the effective time of the Merger will be the officers of the surviving corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the representations and warranties with respect to certain matters (including with respect to organization, standing and power of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, share capital of the Issuer and the Issuer’s subsidiaries, and authority, execution, delivery and enforceability of the Merger Agreement) being true and correct as of the closing date of the merger without any exceptions for materiality, certain other representations and warranties (including representations with respect to taxes and extensive representations with respect to intellectual property) being true and correct as of the closing date of the Merger in all material respects and the remaining representations and warranties being true and correct as of the closing date of the merger, subject to other materiality exceptions, (ii) performance by the Issuer, Parent and Merger Sub with their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement (ii) receipt of certain regulatory approvals (including approval of the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry

of Trade & Labor) as set forth in the Merger Agreement, (iii) approval of the Merger by the Issuer’s shareholders, (iv) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to the Issuer and (v) certain other customary conditions. The Merger Agreement may be terminated by the Issuer or the Parent under certain circumstances. For additional details on these conditions and rights of termination, reference is made to the Merger Agreement.

As an inducement to Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement, each of the Shareholders entered into a Voting Agreement with Parent and Merger Sub. Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, the Shareholders agreed, subject to certain exceptions, that at any meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer however called (or any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting) or any adjournment thereof (collectively, a “Meeting”), the Shareholders will vote all Voting Shares (or cause them to be voted) or (as appropriate) execute written consents in respect thereof, (i) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Transactions (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) against any action or agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement) that would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Issuer in the Merger Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (iii) against any Company Takeover Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (iv) against any agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement), amendment of the charter of the Issuer or other action that is intended or could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or discourage the consummation of the Merger and/or the other Transactions (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The Voting Agreements also include (i) a proxy in favor of designees of Parent permitting such designees to vote the Voting Shares in accordance with the foregoing, and (ii) a prohibition on transfers by the Shareholder of Voting Shares until the termination of the Voting Agreement.

The Reporting Persons are not paying any additional compensation to the Shareholders in connection with the execution and delivery of the Voting Agreements.

As a further inducement for Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement, Zohar Zisapel entered into a Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.10 (the “Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement”).

The information set forth in response to this Item 4, including, without limitation, the foregoing summary of certain provisions of the Merger Agreement and Voting Agreements, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 99.9, 99.2, 99.3, 99.4, 99.5, 99.6, 99.7 and 99.8 hereto, respectively, and are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

The following disclosure assumes that there are 19,032,047 Shares outstanding, which is the sum of (i) the number of Shares the Issuer represented in the Merger Agreement was the number of outstanding Shares as of March 11, 2012 and (ii) the number of Shares for which the Shareholders have options exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof.

Exhibit 99.2

VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT

VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 14, 2012, by and between Avaya Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and the undersigned Shareholder (the “Shareholder”) of Radvision Ltd., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company, Parent and Sonic Acquisition Ltd. (“Merger Sub”) are entering into a Merger Agreement as of the date hereof (such Merger Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”);

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Shareholder is the beneficial owner of 5,043,317 Company Ordinary Shares (all such Company Ordinary Shares, together with any other Company Ordinary Shares acquired by the Shareholder after the date hereof or as to which the Shareholder is or becomes the beneficial owner or is otherwise able to direct the voting thereof (including as a result of the exercise of Shareholder Options), being collectively referred to herein as the “Shareholder Shares”) and is the record and beneficial owner of Company Stock Options to purchase an additional 85,000 Company Ordinary Shares (the “Shareholder Options”);

WHEREAS, as a condition to their willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub have required that the Shareholder enter into this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, in order to induce Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Company asked the Shareholder to enter into this Agreement with Parent and Merger Sub, and the Shareholder has agreed and is willing to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Agreements of the Shareholder.

(a) Voting. From the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company however called (or any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting) or any adjournment thereof (a “Meeting”), the Shareholder shall vote all the Shareholder Shares (or cause them to be voted) or (as appropriate) execute written consents in respect thereof, (i) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Transactions, (ii) against any action or agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement) that the Shareholder is aware would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Company in the Merger Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, (iii) against any Company


Takeover Proposal and (iv) against any agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement), amendment of the Company Charter or other action that is intended or could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or discourage the consummation of the Merger and/or the other Transactions. Any such vote shall be cast (or consent shall be given) by the Shareholder in accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted, including for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording the results of such vote (or consent). For purposes of this Agreement, “vote” shall include voting in person or by proxy, or otherwise consenting or withholding consent in respect of any action; “voting” shall have a correlative meaning.

(b) Proxy. In furtherance of the Shareholder’s agreement in Section 1(a), but subject to the following sentence, the Shareholder hereby appoints Clifford M.J. Felig, Shaul Grossman, Meir Akunis and Michael Rimon, and each of their designees, and each of them individually, as the Shareholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of the Shareholder, to vote all the Shareholder Shares at any Meeting, or to execute one or more written consents in respect of the Shareholder Shares, (i) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (ii) against any action or agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement) that the Shareholder is aware would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Company in the Merger Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, (iii) against any Company Takeover Proposal and (iv) against any agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement), amendment of the Company Charter or other action that is intended or could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or discourage the consummation of the Merger and/or the Transactions. Such proxy shall (A) be valid and irrevocable until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3 hereof and (B) automatically terminate upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3 hereof. The Shareholder represents that any and all other proxies and voting instructions heretofore given in respect of the Shareholder Shares are revocable, and that such other proxies and voting instructions have been revoked. The Shareholder affirms that the foregoing proxy is: (x) given (I) in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement and (II) to secure the performance of the Shareholder’s duties under this Agreement, (y) coupled with an interest and may not be revoked except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and (z) intended to be irrevocable prior to termination of this Agreement. All authority herein conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the Shareholder and shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Shareholder. To the extent necessary, the Shareholder shall deliver all documents that are reasonably necessary in order to enable the forgoing proxy to be implemented and effected for the purposes set forth therein.

(c) Restriction on Transfer; Proxies; Non-Interference; etc. From the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Shareholder shall not directly or indirectly (i) sell, transfer (including by operation of Law), give, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, gift, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any Shareholder Shares (or any right, title or interest thereto or therein),


(ii) deposit any Shareholder Shares into a voting trust or grant any proxies or enter into a voting agreement, power of attorney or voting trust with respect to any Shareholder Shares, (iii) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Shareholder set forth in this Agreement untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing, disabling or delaying the Shareholder from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement or (iv) agree (whether or not in writing) to take any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 1(c).

(d) No Solicitation. The Shareholder shall not and shall not permit any of his Representatives to, directly or indirectly, take an action that the Company is prohibited from taking by Section 5.02 of the Merger Agreement.

(e) Information for Proxy Statement; Publication. The Shareholder consents to Parent and Merger Sub publishing and disclosing in any filing required under applicable Law the Shareholder’s identity and ownership of Company Ordinary Shares and the nature of the Shareholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement, as well as attaching a copy of this Agreement as an exhibit to any such filing, if required under applicable Law. The Shareholder represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that none of the information relating to the Shareholder and his, her or its Affiliates provided by or on behalf of the Shareholder or his, her or its Affiliates for inclusion in any such filing will, at the time the such filing is made or distributed, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Shareholder shall not issue any press release or make any other public statement or other disclosure with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Transactions without the prior written consent of Parent, except as may be required by applicable Law and in case any such requirement under applicable Law arises, after giving Parent reasonable opportunity to comment on any such press release or statement and including all reasonably requested comments of Parent.

(f) Rights Attached to Shares. Without derogating from any provisions to the contrary in this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, the provisions of this Section 1 and the obligations hereunder shall attach to the Shareholder Shares and shall be binding upon any person to which legal or beneficial ownership of the Shareholder Shares shall pass, whether by operation of Law or otherwise, including, without limitation, the Shareholder’s administrators or successors. Without derogating from Section 1(c), notwithstanding any transfer of the Shareholder Shares, the transferor shall remain liable for the performance of all obligations of the Shareholder hereunder.

(g) Acknowledgment. The Shareholder understands and acknowledges that Parent and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Shareholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

(h) Amendments to the Merger Agreement. If, at any time, the Merger Agreement is amended, without the prior written consent of the Shareholder, (i) to reduce the Merger Consideration in any respect, or (ii) in a manner that is materially adverse to the Company or its shareholders, then the obligations of the Shareholder under Section 1(a) and 1(b) shall be null and void.


2. Representations and Warranties of the Shareholder. The Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows:

(a) Authority. The Shareholder has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Shareholder and, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms.

(b) Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Other than filings under the Exchange Act and other than such as, if not made, obtained or given, would not reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the performance by the Shareholder of any of his obligations under this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, no notices, reports or other filings are required to be made by the Shareholder with, nor are any consents, registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations required to be obtained by such the Shareholder from, any Governmental Entity or any other Person, in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the performance by the Shareholder of his obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery by the Shareholder of this Agreement do not, and the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions and compliance by the Shareholder with the terms hereof and thereof will not (i) contravene, conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, (ii) give rise to a right of termination, cancelation or acceleration of any obligation or to a right to challenge the Transactions under, or (iii) result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Shareholder under (A) any Contract to which the Shareholder is a party or by which the Shareholder is bound, or (B) any Law or Judgment applicable to the Shareholder, except for such contraventions, conflicts, violations, defaults, terminations, cancellations, modifications, accelerations or Liens that would not reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the performance by the Shareholder of any of his obligations under this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions.

(c) Ownership of Shares. Shareholder owns, beneficially and (except for Shareholder Shares held of record by Rad Data Ltd., Lomsha Ltd. and Michael and Klil Holdings (93) Ltd.) of record, all of the Shareholder Shares free and clear of any proxy, voting restriction, adverse claim or other Lien (other than proxies and restrictions in favor of Parent pursuant to this Agreement). Without limiting the foregoing, except for proxies and restrictions in favor of Parent pursuant to this Agreement, the Shareholder has sole voting power and sole power of disposition with respect to all Shareholder Shares, with no restrictions on the Shareholder’s rights of voting or disposition pertaining thereto and no Person other than the Shareholder has any right to direct or approve the voting or disposition of any Shareholder Shares. As of the date hereof, the Shareholder does not own, beneficially or of record, nor has the power to vote or control the voting of, any securities of the Company other than the Company Ordinary Shares which constitute Shareholder Shares and the Shareholder Options.


(d) Brokers. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person is entitled to any broker’s finders, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Shareholder.

3. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the first to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and (b) the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement and (ii) the provisions of Section 2, this Section 3 and Section 4 of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

4. Miscellaneous.

(a) Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses.

(b) Additional Shares. Until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of the number of Company Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership after the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of any share split, share dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company affecting the Company Ordinary Shares, the number of Company Ordinary Shares constituting Shareholder Shares shall be adjusted appropriately and this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to any additional Company Ordinary Shares or other voting securities of the Company issued to or exchanged with the Shareholder in connection therewith.

(c) Definition of “Beneficial Ownership”. For purposes of this Agreement, “beneficial ownership” with respect to (or to “own beneficially”) any securities shall mean having “beneficial ownership” of such securities (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing.

(d) Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of Parent and without further consideration, the Shareholder shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably required to give effect to the obligations of the Shareholder hereunder and to confirm the rights of Parent hereunder, in the most expeditious manner practicable.

This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties any rights or remedies.

(f) Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by


operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

(g) Amendments; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, except by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto. Any party to this Agreement may (A) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party hereto or extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of any other party hereto or (B) waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by Parent in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

(h) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Exhibit 99.3

VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT

VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 14, 2012, by and between Avaya Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and the undersigned Shareholder (the “Shareholder”) of Radvision Ltd., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company, Parent and Sonic Acquisition Ltd. (“Merger Sub”) are entering into a Merger Agreement as of the date hereof (such Merger Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”);

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Shareholder is the beneficial owner of 1,154,737 Company Ordinary Shares (such Company Ordinary Shares, together with any other Company Ordinary Shares acquired by the Shareholder after the date hereof or as to which the Shareholder is or becomes the beneficial owner or is otherwise able to direct the voting thereof, being collectively referred to herein as the “Shareholder Shares”);

WHEREAS, as a condition to their willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub have required that the Shareholder enter into this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, in order to induce Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Company asked the Shareholder to enter into this Agreement with Parent and Merger Sub, and the Shareholder has agreed and is willing to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Agreements of the Shareholder.

(a) Voting. From the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company however called (or any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting) or any adjournment thereof (a “Meeting”), the Shareholder shall vote all the Shareholder Shares (or cause them to be voted) or (as appropriate) execute written consents in respect thereof, (i) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Transactions, (ii) against any action or agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement) that the Shareholder is aware would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Company in the Merger Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, (iii) against any Company Takeover Proposal and (iv) against any agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement), amendment of the Company Charter or other action that is intended or could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or


discourage the consummation of the Merger and/or the other Transactions. Any such vote shall be cast (or consent shall be given) by the Shareholder in accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted, including for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording the results of such vote (or consent). For purposes of this Agreement, “vote” shall include voting in person or by proxy, or otherwise consenting or withholding consent in respect of any action; “voting” shall have a correlative meaning.

(b) Proxy. In furtherance of the Shareholder’s agreement in Section 1(a), but subject to the following sentence, the Shareholder hereby appoints Clifford M.J. Felig, Shaul Grossman, Meir Akunis and Michael Rimon, and each of their designees, and each of them individually, as the Shareholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of the Shareholder, to vote all the Shareholder Shares at any Meeting, or to execute one or more written consents in respect of the Shareholder Shares, (i) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (ii) against any action or agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement) that the Shareholder is aware would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Company in the Merger Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, (iii) against any Company Takeover Proposal and (iv) against any agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement), amendment of the Company Charter or other action that is intended or could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or discourage the consummation of the Merger and/or the Transactions. Such proxy shall (A) be valid and irrevocable until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3 hereof and (B) automatically terminate upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3 hereof. The Shareholder represents that any and all other proxies and voting instructions heretofore given in respect of the Shareholder Shares are revocable, and that such other proxies and voting instructions have been revoked. The Shareholder affirms that the foregoing proxy is: (x) given (I) in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement and (II) to secure the performance of the Shareholder’s duties under this Agreement, (y) coupled with an interest and may not be revoked except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and (z) intended to be irrevocable prior to termination of this Agreement. All authority herein conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the Shareholder and shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Shareholder. To the extent necessary, the Shareholder shall deliver all documents that are reasonably necessary in order to enable the forgoing proxy to be implemented and effected for the purposes set forth therein.

(c) Restriction on Transfer; Proxies; Non-Interference; etc. From the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Shareholder shall not directly or indirectly (i) sell, transfer (including by operation of Law), give, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, gift, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any Shareholder Shares (or any right, title or interest thereto or therein), (ii) deposit any Shareholder Shares into a voting trust or grant any proxies or enter into a voting agreement, power of attorney or voting trust with respect to any Shareholder Shares, (iii) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Shareholder set forth in this


Agreement untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing, disabling or delaying the Shareholder from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement or (iv) agree (whether or not in writing) to take any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 1(c).

(d) No Solicitation. The Shareholder shall not and shall not permit any of his Representatives to, directly or indirectly, take an action that the Company is prohibited from taking by Section 5.02 of the Merger Agreement.

(e) Information for Proxy Statement; Publication. The Shareholder consents to Parent and Merger Sub publishing and disclosing in any filing required under applicable Law the Shareholder’s identity and ownership of Company Ordinary Shares and the nature of the Shareholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement, as well as attaching a copy of this Agreement as an exhibit to any such filing, if required under applicable Law. The Shareholder represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that none of the information relating to the Shareholder and his, her or its Affiliates provided by or on behalf of the Shareholder or his, her or its Affiliates for inclusion in any such filing will, at the time the such filing is made or distributed, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Shareholder shall not issue any press release or make any other public statement or other disclosure with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Transactions without the prior written consent of Parent, except as may be required by applicable Law and in case any such requirement under applicable Law arises, after giving Parent reasonable opportunity to comment on any such press release or statement and including all reasonably requested comments of Parent.

(f) Rights Attached to Shares. Without derogating from any provisions to the contrary in this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, the provisions of this Section 1 and the obligations hereunder shall attach to the Shareholder Shares and shall be binding upon any person to which legal or beneficial ownership of the Shareholder Shares shall pass, whether by operation of Law or otherwise, including, without limitation, the Shareholder’s administrators or successors. Without derogating from Section 1(c), notwithstanding any transfer of the Shareholder Shares, the transferor shall remain liable for the performance of all obligations of the Shareholder hereunder.

(g) Acknowledgment. The Shareholder understands and acknowledges that Parent and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Shareholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

(h) Amendments to the Merger Agreement. If, at any time, the Merger Agreement is amended, without the prior written consent of the Shareholder, (i) to reduce the Merger Consideration in any respect, or (ii) in a manner that is materially adverse to the Company or its shareholders, then the obligations of the Shareholder under Section 1(a) and 1(b) shall be null and void.


2. Representations and Warranties of the Shareholder. The Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows:

The execution and delivery by the Shareholder of this Agreement do not, and the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions and compliance by the Shareholder with the terms hereof and thereof will not (i) contravene, conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, (ii) give rise to a right of termination, cancelation or acceleration of any obligation or to a right to challenge the Transactions under, or (iii) result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Shareholder under (A) any Contract to which the Shareholder is a party or by which the Shareholder is bound, or (B) any Law or Judgment applicable to the Shareholder, except for such contraventions, conflicts, violations, defaults, terminations, cancellations, modifications, accelerations or Liens that would not reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the performance by the Shareholder of any of his obligations under this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions.

(d) Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of Parent and without further consideration, the Shareholder shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably required to give effect to the obligations of the Shareholder hereunder and to confirm the rights of Parent hereunder, in the most expeditious manner practicable.

(h) Severability.

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner of Company Stock Options to purchase 552,800 Company Ordinary Shares (all such Company Ordinary Shares, upon the exercise of such Company Stock Options, together with any other Company Ordinary Shares acquired by the Shareholder after the date hereof or as to which the Shareholder is or becomes the beneficial owner or is otherwise able to direct the voting thereof, being collectively referred to herein as the “Shareholder Shares”);

WHEREAS, as a condition to their willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub have required that the Shareholder enter into this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, in order to induce Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Company asked the Shareholder to enter into this Agreement with Parent and Merger Sub, and the Shareholder has agreed and is willing to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Agreements of the Shareholder.

(a) Voting. From the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company however called (or any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting) or any adjournment thereof (a “Meeting”), the Shareholder shall vote all the Shareholder Shares (or cause them to be voted) or (as appropriate) execute written consents in respect thereof, (i) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Transactions, (ii) against any action or agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement) that the Shareholder is aware would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Company in the Merger Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, (iii) against any Company Takeover Proposal and (iv) against any agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement), amendment of the Company Charter or other action that is


intended or could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or discourage the consummation of the Merger and/or the other Transactions. Any such vote shall be cast (or consent shall be given) by the Shareholder in accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted, including for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording the results of such vote (or consent). For purposes of this Agreement, “vote” shall include voting in person or by proxy, or otherwise consenting or withholding consent in respect of any action; “voting” shall have a correlative meaning.

(b) Proxy. In furtherance of the Shareholder’s agreement in Section 1(a), but subject to the following sentence, the Shareholder hereby appoints Clifford M.J. Felig, Shaul Grossman, Meir Akunis and Michael Rimon, and each of their designees, and each of them individually, as the Shareholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of the Shareholder, to vote all the Shareholder Shares at any Meeting, or to execute one or more written consents in respect of the Shareholder Shares, (i) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (ii) against any action or agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement) that the Shareholder is aware would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Company in the Merger Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, (iii) against any Company Takeover Proposal and (iv) against any agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement), amendment of the Company Charter or other action that is intended or could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or discourage the consummation of the Merger and/or the Transactions. Such proxy shall (A) be valid and irrevocable until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3 hereof and (B) automatically terminate upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3 hereof. The Shareholder represents that any and all other proxies and voting instructions heretofore given in respect of the Shareholder Shares are revocable, and that such other proxies and voting instructions have been revoked. The Shareholder affirms that the foregoing proxy is: (x) given (I) in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement and (II) to secure the performance of the Shareholder’s duties under this Agreement, (y) coupled with an interest and may not be revoked except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and (z) intended to be irrevocable prior to termination of this Agreement. All authority herein conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the Shareholder and shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Shareholder. To the extent necessary, the Shareholder shall deliver all documents that are reasonably necessary in order to enable the forgoing proxy to be implemented and effected for the purposes set forth therein.

(c) Restriction on Transfer; Proxies; Non-Interference; etc. From the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Shareholder shall not directly or indirectly (i) sell, transfer (including by operation of Law), give, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, gift, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any Shareholder Shares (or any right, title or interest thereto or therein), (ii) deposit any Shareholder Shares into a voting trust or grant any proxies or enter into a voting agreement, power of attorney or voting trust with respect to any Shareholder Shares, (iii) take


any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Shareholder set forth in this Agreement untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing, disabling or delaying the Shareholder from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement or (iv) agree (whether or not in writing) to take any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 1(c).

(d) No Solicitation. The Shareholder shall not and shall not permit any of his Representatives to, directly or indirectly, take an action that the Company is prohibited from taking by Section 5.02 of the Merger Agreement.

(e) Information for Proxy Statement; Publication. The Shareholder consents to Parent and Merger Sub publishing and disclosing in any filing required under applicable Law the Shareholder’s identity and ownership of Company Ordinary Shares and the nature of the Shareholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement, as well as attaching a copy of this Agreement as an exhibit to any such filing, if required under applicable Law. The Shareholder represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that none of the information relating to the Shareholder and his, her or its Affiliates provided by or on behalf of the Shareholder or his, her or its Affiliates for inclusion in any such filing will, at the time the such filing is made or distributed, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Shareholder shall not issue any press release or make any other public statement or other disclosure with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Transactions without the prior written consent of Parent, except as may be required by applicable Law and in case any such requirement under applicable Law arises, after giving Parent reasonable opportunity to comment on any such press release or statement and including all reasonably requested comments of Parent.

(f) Rights Attached to Shares. Without derogating from any provisions to the contrary in this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, the provisions of this Section 1 and the obligations hereunder shall attach to the Shareholder Shares and shall be binding upon any person to which legal or beneficial ownership of the Shareholder Shares shall pass, whether by operation of Law or otherwise, including, without limitation, the Shareholder’s administrators or successors. Without derogating from Section 1(c), notwithstanding any transfer of the Shareholder Shares, the transferor shall remain liable for the performance of all obligations of the Shareholder hereunder.

(g) Acknowledgment. The Shareholder understands and acknowledges that Parent and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Shareholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

(h) Amendments to the Merger Agreement. If, at any time, the Merger Agreement is amended, without the prior written consent of the Shareholder, (i) to reduce the Merger Consideration in any respect, or (ii) in a manner that is materially adverse to the Company or its shareholders, then the obligations of the Shareholder under Section 1(a) and 1(b) shall be null and void.

(a) Authority. The Shareholder has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Shareholder and, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms.

(b) Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Other than filings under the Exchange Act and other than such as, if not made, obtained or given, would not reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the performance by the Shareholder of any of his obligations under this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, no notices, reports or other filings are required to be made by the Shareholder with, nor are any consents, registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations required to be obtained by such the Shareholder from, any Governmental Entity or any other Person, in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the performance by the Shareholder of his obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery by the Shareholder of this Agreement do not, and the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions and compliance by the Shareholder with the terms hereof and thereof will not (i) contravene, conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, (ii) give rise to a right of termination, cancelation or acceleration of any obligation or to a right to challenge the Transactions under, or (iii) result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Shareholder under (A) any Contract to which the Shareholder is a party or by which the Shareholder is bound, or (B) any Law or Judgment applicable to the Shareholder, except for such contraventions, conflicts, violations, defaults, terminations, cancellations, modifications, accelerations or Liens that would not reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the performance by the Shareholder of any of his obligations under this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions.

(b) Additional Shares. Until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of the number of Company Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership after the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of any share split, share dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company affecting the Company Ordinary Shares, the number of Company Ordinary Shares constituting Shareholder Shares shall be adjusted appropriately and this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to any additional Company Ordinary Shares or other voting securities of the Company issued to or exchanged with the Shareholder in connection therewith.

(c) Definition of “Beneficial Ownership”. For purposes of this Agreement, “beneficial ownership” with respect to (or to “own beneficially”) any securities shall mean having “beneficial ownership” of such securities (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing.

(d) Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of Parent and without further consideration, the Shareholder shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably required to give effect to the obligations of the Shareholder hereunder and to confirm the rights of Parent hereunder, in the most expeditious manner practicable.

(e) Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(f) Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties.

(h) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

3. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the first to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and (b) the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement and (ii) the provisions of Section 2, this Section 3 and Section 4 of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

4. Miscellaneous.

(a) Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses.

(b) Additional Shares. Until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of the number of Company Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership after the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of any share split, share dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company affecting the Company Ordinary Shares, the number of Company Ordinary Shares constituting Shareholder Shares shall be adjusted appropriately and this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to any additional Company Ordinary Shares or other voting securities of the Company issued to or exchanged with the Shareholder in connection therewith.

(c) Definition of “Beneficial Ownership”. For purposes of this Agreement, “beneficial ownership” with respect to (or to “own beneficially”) any securities shall mean having “beneficial ownership” of such securities (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing.

(d) Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of Parent and without further consideration, the Shareholder shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably required to give effect to the obligations of the Shareholder hereunder and to confirm the rights of Parent hereunder, in the most expeditious manner practicable.

(e) Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties any rights or remedies.

(f) Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.


(g) Amendments; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, except by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto. Any party to this Agreement may (A) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party hereto or extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of any other party hereto or (B) waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by Parent in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

(h) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

(i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties.

Exhibit 99.6

VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT

VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 14, 2012, by and between Avaya Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and the undersigned Shareholder (the “Shareholder”) of Radvision Ltd., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company, Parent and Sonic Acquisition Ltd. (“Merger Sub”) are entering into a Merger Agreement as of the date hereof (such Merger Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”);

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner of 187,213 Company Ordinary Shares (such Company Ordinary Shares, together with any other Company Ordinary Shares acquired by the Shareholder after the date hereof or as to which the Shareholder is or becomes the beneficial owner or is otherwise able to direct the voting thereof, being collectively referred to herein as the “Shareholder Shares”);

WHEREAS, as a condition to their willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub have required that the Shareholder enter into this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, in order to induce Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Company asked the Shareholder to enter into this Agreement with Parent and Merger Sub, and the Shareholder has agreed and is willing to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Agreements of the Shareholder.

(a) Voting. From the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company however called (or any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting) or any adjournment thereof (a “Meeting”), the Shareholder shall vote all the Shareholder Shares (or cause them to be voted) or (as appropriate) execute written consents in respect thereof, (i) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Transactions, (ii) against any action or agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement) that the Shareholder is aware would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Company in the Merger Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, (iii) against any Company Takeover Proposal and (iv) against any agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement), amendment of the Company Charter or other action that is intended or could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or


discourage the consummation of the Merger and/or the other Transactions. Any such vote shall be cast (or consent shall be given) by the Shareholder in accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted, including for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording the results of such vote (or consent). For purposes of this Agreement, “vote” shall include voting in person or by proxy, or otherwise consenting or withholding consent in respect of any action; “voting” shall have a correlative meaning.

(b) Proxy. In furtherance of the Shareholder’s agreement in Section 1(a), but subject to the following sentence, the Shareholder hereby appoints Clifford M.J. Felig, Shaul Grossman, Meir Akunis and Michael Rimon, and each of their designees, and each of them individually, as the Shareholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of the Shareholder, to vote all the Shareholder Shares at any Meeting, or to execute one or more written consents in respect of the Shareholder Shares, (i) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (ii) against any action or agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement) that the Shareholder is aware would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Company in the Merger Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, (iii) against any Company Takeover Proposal and (iv) against any agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement), amendment of the Company Charter or other action that is intended or could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or discourage the consummation of the Merger and/or the Transactions. Such proxy shall (A) be valid and irrevocable until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3 hereof and (B) automatically terminate upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3 hereof. The Shareholder represents that any and all other proxies and voting instructions heretofore given in respect of the Shareholder Shares are revocable, and that such other proxies and voting instructions have been revoked. The Shareholder affirms that the foregoing proxy is: (x) given (I) in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement and (II) to secure the performance of the Shareholder’s duties under this Agreement, (y) coupled with an interest and may not be revoked except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and (z) intended to be irrevocable prior to termination of this Agreement. All authority herein conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the Shareholder and shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Shareholder. To the extent necessary, the Shareholder shall deliver all documents that are reasonably necessary in order to enable the forgoing proxy to be implemented and effected for the purposes set forth therein.

(c) Restriction on Transfer; Proxies; Non-Interference; etc. From the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Shareholder shall not directly or indirectly (i) sell, transfer (including by operation of Law), give, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, gift, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any Shareholder Shares (or any right, title or interest thereto or therein), (ii) deposit any Shareholder Shares into a voting trust or grant any proxies or enter into a voting agreement, power of attorney or voting trust with respect to any Shareholder Shares, (iii) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Shareholder set forth in this


Agreement untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing, disabling or delaying the Shareholder from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement or (iv) agree (whether or not in writing) to take any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 1(c).

(d) No Solicitation. The Shareholder shall not and shall not permit any of his Representatives to, directly or indirectly, take an action that the Company is prohibited from taking by Section 5.02 of the Merger Agreement.

(e) Information for Proxy Statement; Publication. The Shareholder consents to Parent and Merger Sub publishing and disclosing in any filing required under applicable Law the Shareholder’s identity and ownership of Company Ordinary Shares and the nature of the Shareholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement, as well as attaching a copy of this Agreement as an exhibit to any such filing, if required under applicable Law. The Shareholder represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that none of the information relating to the Shareholder and his, her or its Affiliates provided by or on behalf of the Shareholder or his, her or its Affiliates for inclusion in any such filing will, at the time the such filing is made or distributed, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Shareholder shall not issue any press release or make any other public statement or other disclosure with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Transactions without the prior written consent of Parent, except as may be required by applicable Law and in case any such requirement under applicable Law arises, after giving Parent reasonable opportunity to comment on any such press release or statement and including all reasonably requested comments of Parent.

(f) Rights Attached to Shares. Without derogating from any provisions to the contrary in this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, the provisions of this Section 1 and the obligations hereunder shall attach to the Shareholder Shares and shall be binding upon any person to which legal or beneficial ownership of the Shareholder Shares shall pass, whether by operation of Law or otherwise, including, without limitation, the Shareholder’s administrators or successors. Without derogating from Section 1(c), notwithstanding any transfer of the Shareholder Shares, the transferor shall remain liable for the performance of all obligations of the Shareholder hereunder.

(g) Acknowledgment. The Shareholder understands and acknowledges that Parent and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Shareholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

(h) Amendments to the Merger Agreement. If, at any time, the Merger Agreement is amended, without the prior written consent of the Shareholder, (i) to reduce the Merger Consideration in any respect, or (ii) in a manner that is materially adverse to the Company or its shareholders, then the obligations of the Shareholder under Section 1(a) and 1(b) shall be null and void.


2. Representations and Warranties of the Shareholder. The Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows:

(a) Authority. The Shareholder has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Shareholder and, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms.

(b) Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Other than filings under the Exchange Act and other than such as, if not made, obtained or given, would not reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the performance by the Shareholder of any of his obligations under this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, no notices, reports or other filings are required to be made by the Shareholder with, nor are any consents, registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations required to be obtained by such the Shareholder from, any Governmental Entity or any other Person, in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the performance by the Shareholder of his obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery by the Shareholder of this Agreement do not, and the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions and compliance by the Shareholder with the terms hereof and thereof will not (i) contravene, conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, (ii) give rise to a right of termination, cancelation or acceleration of any obligation or to a right to challenge the Transactions under, or (iii) result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Shareholder under (A) any Contract to which the Shareholder is a party or by which the Shareholder is bound, or (B) any Law or Judgment applicable to the Shareholder, except for such contraventions, conflicts, violations, defaults, terminations, cancellations, modifications, accelerations or Liens that would not reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the performance by the Shareholder of any of his obligations under this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions.

(c) Ownership of Shares. Shareholder owns, beneficially and of record, all of the Shareholder Shares free and clear of any proxy, voting restriction, adverse claim or other Lien (other than proxies and restrictions in favor of Parent pursuant to this Agreement). Without limiting the foregoing, except for proxies and restrictions in favor of Parent pursuant to this Agreement, the Shareholder has sole voting power and sole power of disposition with respect to all Shareholder Shares, with no restrictions on the Shareholder’s rights of voting or disposition pertaining thereto and no Person other than the Shareholder has any right to direct or approve the voting or disposition of any Shareholder Shares. As of the date hereof, the Shareholder does not own, beneficially or of record, nor has the power to vote or control the voting of, any securities of the Company other than the Company Ordinary Shares which constitute Shareholder Shares.

(d) Brokers. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person is entitled to any broker’s finders, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Shareholder.


3. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the first to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and (b) the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement and (ii) the provisions of Section 2, this Section 3 and Section 4 of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

4. Miscellaneous.

(a) Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses.

(b) Additional Shares. Until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of the number of Company Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership after the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of any share split, share dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company affecting the Company Ordinary Shares, the number of Company Ordinary Shares constituting Shareholder Shares shall be adjusted appropriately and this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to any additional Company Ordinary Shares or other voting securities of the Company issued to or exchanged with the Shareholder in connection therewith.

(c) Definition of “Beneficial Ownership”. For purposes of this Agreement, “beneficial ownership” with respect to (or to “own beneficially”) any securities shall mean having “beneficial ownership” of such securities (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing.

(d) Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of Parent and without further consideration, the Shareholder shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably required to give effect to the obligations of the Shareholder hereunder and to confirm the rights of Parent hereunder, in the most expeditious manner practicable.

(e) Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties any rights or remedies.

(f) Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.


(g) Amendments; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, except by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto. Any party to this Agreement may (A) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party hereto or extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of any other party hereto or (B) waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by Parent in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

(h) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

(i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Agreements of the Shareholder.

(a) Voting. From the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company however called (or any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting) or any adjournment thereof (a “Meeting”), the Shareholder shall vote all the Shareholder Shares (or cause them to be voted) or (as appropriate) execute written consents in respect thereof, (i) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Transactions, (ii) against any action or agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement) that the Shareholder is aware would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Company in the Merger Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, (iii) against any Company Takeover Proposal and (iv) against any agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement), amendment of the Company Charter or other action that is intended or could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or


discourage the consummation of the Merger and/or the other Transactions. Any such vote shall be cast (or consent shall be given) by the Shareholder in accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted, including for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording the results of such vote (or consent). For purposes of this Agreement, “vote” shall include voting in person or by proxy, or otherwise consenting or withholding consent in respect of any action; “voting” shall have a correlative meaning.

(b) Proxy. In furtherance of the Shareholder’s agreement in Section 1(a), but subject to the following sentence, the Shareholder hereby appoints Clifford M.J. Felig, Shaul Grossman, Meir Akunis and Michael Rimon, and each of their designees, and each of them individually, as the Shareholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of the Shareholder, to vote all the Shareholder Shares at any Meeting, or to execute one or more written consents in respect of the Shareholder Shares, (i) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (ii) against any action or agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement) that the Shareholder is aware would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Company in the Merger Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, (iii) against any Company Takeover Proposal and (iv) against any agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement), amendment of the Company Charter or other action that is intended or could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or discourage the consummation of the Merger and/or the Transactions. Such proxy shall (A) be valid and irrevocable until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3 hereof and (B) automatically terminate upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3 hereof. The Shareholder represents that any and all other proxies and voting instructions heretofore given in respect of the Shareholder Shares are revocable, and that such other proxies and voting instructions have been revoked. The Shareholder affirms that the foregoing proxy is: (x) given (I) in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement and (II) to secure the performance of the Shareholder’s duties under this Agreement, (y) coupled with an interest and may not be revoked except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and (z) intended to be irrevocable prior to termination of this Agreement. All authority herein conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the Shareholder and shall be binding upon the heirs, estate, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Shareholder. To the extent necessary, the Shareholder shall deliver all documents that are reasonably necessary in order to enable the forgoing proxy to be implemented and effected for the purposes set forth therein.

(c) Restriction on Transfer; Proxies; Non-Interference; etc. From the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Shareholder shall not directly or indirectly (i) sell, transfer (including by operation of Law), give, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, gift, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any Shareholder Shares (or any right, title or interest thereto or therein), (ii) deposit any Shareholder Shares into a voting trust or grant any proxies or enter into a voting agreement, power of attorney or voting trust with respect to any Shareholder Shares, (iii) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Shareholder set forth in this


Agreement untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing, disabling or delaying the Shareholder from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement or (iv) agree (whether or not in writing) to take any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 1(c).

(d) No Solicitation. The Shareholder shall not and shall not permit any of his Representatives to, directly or indirectly, take an action that the Company is prohibited from taking by Section 5.02 of the Merger Agreement.

(e) Information for Proxy Statement; Publication. The Shareholder consents to Parent and Merger Sub publishing and disclosing in any filing required under applicable Law the Shareholder’s identity and ownership of Company Ordinary Shares and the nature of the Shareholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement, as well as attaching a copy of this Agreement as an exhibit to any such filing, if required under applicable Law. The Shareholder represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that none of the information relating to the Shareholder and his, her or its Affiliates provided by or on behalf of the Shareholder or his, her or its Affiliates for inclusion in any such filing will, at the time the such filing is made or distributed, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Shareholder shall not issue any press release or make any other public statement or other disclosure with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Transactions without the prior written consent of Parent, except as may be required by applicable Law and in case any such requirement under applicable Law arises, after giving Parent reasonable opportunity to comment on any such press release or statement and including all reasonably requested comments of Parent.

(f) Rights Attached to Shares. Without derogating from any provisions to the contrary in this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, the provisions of this Section 1 and the obligations hereunder shall attach to the Shareholder Shares and shall be binding upon any person to which legal or beneficial ownership of the Shareholder Shares shall pass, whether by operation of Law or otherwise, including, without limitation, the Shareholder’s administrators or successors. Without derogating from Section 1(c), notwithstanding any transfer of the Shareholder Shares, the transferor shall remain liable for the performance of all obligations of the Shareholder hereunder.

(g) Acknowledgment. The Shareholder understands and acknowledges that Parent and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Shareholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

(h) Amendments to the Merger Agreement. If, at any time, the Merger Agreement is amended, without the prior written consent of the Shareholder, (i) to reduce the Merger Consideration in any respect, or (ii) in a manner that is materially adverse to the Company or its shareholders, then the obligations of the Shareholder under Section 1(a) and 1(b) shall be null and void.


2. Representations and Warranties of the Shareholder. The Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows:

(a) Authority. The Shareholder has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Shareholder and, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms.

(b) Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Other than filings under the Exchange Act and other than such as, if not made, obtained or given, would not reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the performance by the Shareholder of any of his obligations under this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, no notices, reports or other filings are required to be made by the Shareholder with, nor are any consents, registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations required to be obtained by such the Shareholder from, any Governmental Entity or any other Person, in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the performance by the Shareholder of his obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery by the Shareholder of this Agreement do not, and the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions and compliance by the Shareholder with the terms hereof and thereof will not (i) contravene, conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, (ii) give rise to a right of termination, cancelation or acceleration of any obligation or to a right to challenge the Transactions under, or (iii) result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Shareholder under (A) any Contract to which the Shareholder is a party or by which the Shareholder is bound, or (B) any Law or Judgment applicable to the Shareholder, except for such contraventions, conflicts, violations, defaults, terminations, cancellations, modifications, accelerations or Liens that would not reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the performance by the Shareholder of any of his obligations under this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions.

(c) Ownership of Shares. Shareholder owns, beneficially and of record, all of the Shareholder Shares free and clear of any proxy, voting restriction, adverse claim or other Lien (other than proxies and restrictions in favor of Parent pursuant to this Agreement). Without limiting the foregoing, except for proxies and restrictions in favor of Parent pursuant to this Agreement, the Shareholder has sole voting power and sole power of disposition with respect to all Shareholder Shares, with no restrictions on the Shareholder’s rights of voting or disposition pertaining thereto and no Person other than the Shareholder has any right to direct or approve the voting or disposition of any Shareholder Shares. As of the date hereof, the Shareholder does not own, beneficially or of record, nor has the power to vote or control the voting of, any securities of the Company other than the Company Ordinary Shares which constitute Shareholder Shares.

(d) Brokers. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person is entitled to any broker’s finders, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Shareholder.


3. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the first to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and (b) the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement and (ii) the provisions of Section 2, this Section 3 and Section 4 of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b) Additional Shares. Until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of the number of Company Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership after the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of any share split, share dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company affecting the Company Ordinary Shares, the number of Company Ordinary Shares constituting Shareholder Shares shall be adjusted appropriately and this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to any additional Company Ordinary Shares or other voting securities of the Company issued to or exchanged with the Shareholder in connection therewith.

(c) Definition of “Beneficial Ownership”. For purposes of this Agreement, “beneficial ownership” with respect to (or to “own beneficially”) any securities shall mean having “beneficial ownership” of such securities (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing.

(d) Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of Parent and without further consideration, the Shareholder shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably required to give effect to the obligations of the Shareholder hereunder and to confirm the rights of Parent hereunder, in the most expeditious manner practicable.

(e) Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties any rights or remedies.

(f) Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties.

Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

(h) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

(b) Additional Shares. Until any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Shareholder shall promptly notify Parent of the number of Company Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which the Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership after the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of any share split, share dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company affecting the Company Ordinary Shares, the number of Company Ordinary Shares constituting Shareholder Shares shall be adjusted appropriately and this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to any additional Company Ordinary Shares or other voting securities of the Company issued to or exchanged with the Shareholder in connection therewith.

(c) Definition of “Beneficial Ownership”. For purposes of this Agreement, “beneficial ownership” with respect to (or to “own beneficially”) any securities shall mean having “beneficial ownership” of such securities (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing.

(d) Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of Parent and without further consideration, the Shareholder shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably required to give effect to the obligations of the Shareholder hereunder and to confirm the rights of Parent hereunder, in the most expeditious manner practicable.

(e) Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties any rights or remedies.

(f) Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.


(g) Amendments; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, except by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto. Any party to this Agreement may (A) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party hereto or extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of any other party hereto or (B) waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by Parent in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

(h) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

(i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties.

(j) Descriptive Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(k) Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission) and shall be given,

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the sole shareholder of Merger Sub has approved this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions.

(a) Share Capital of Merger Sub.

(c) Conversion of Company Ordinary Shares. Subject to Section 2.01(b) (Cancellation of Treasury Shares and Parent-Owned Shares), each Company Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive $11.85 (eleven U.S. Dollars and eighty five cents) in cash (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all such Company Ordinary Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such Company Ordinary Shares (each, a “Certificate”) or book-entry shares (“Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive, upon surrender of such Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with Section 2.02 (Exchange of Certificates; Book Entry Shares), Merger Consideration without interest and subject to any applicable withholding Tax.

(d) Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the number of outstanding Company Ordinary Shares shall occur as a result of a reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(c) shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

SECTION 2.02. Exchange of Certificates; Book-Entry Shares.

(a) Paying Agent. On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”), and shall, at the Closing, deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent all the cash necessary to pay for the Company Ordinary Shares converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01 (Effect on Share Capital) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Paying Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the cash to be paid pursuant to Section 2.01 (Effect on Share Capital) out of the Exchange Fund. In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by Section 2.01(c), Parent shall promptly deposit additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payment. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose except as expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time and in any event not later than the fourth Business Day thereafter, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon receipt of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares by the Paying Agent, and which shall be in such form and shall have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify, and which shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and shall be submitted to the Company’s review at least five (5) days prior to the estimated date of the Effective Time), (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration for the number of Company Ordinary Shares previously represented by such

Certificate or Book-Entry Share and (iii) a declaration in which the beneficial owner of Company Ordinary Shares underlying a Certificate or Book-Entry Share provides certain information necessary for Parent to determine whether any amounts need to be withheld from the Merger Consideration payable to such beneficial owner pursuant to the terms of the Ordinance (in each case, subject to the terms of the Withholding Tax Ruling (as defined herein), if obtained). Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions (and such other customary documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent), the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be promptly paid in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration without interest and subject to any applicable withholding Tax, for each Company Ordinary Share formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, and the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered or whose name appears on the records of a nominee company (Chevra Le’Rishumim) in accordance with such duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal, it shall be a condition of payment that (x) the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and reasonably satisfactory to Parent and (y) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share surrendered or shall have established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation, that such tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, as contemplated by this Article II, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding Tax.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Ordinary Shares. The Merger Consideration paid in respect of Company Ordinary Shares upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to Company Ordinary Shares previously represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and at the Effective Time, the share transfer books and shareholder register of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the share transfer books and shareholder register of the Surviving Corporation of the Company Ordinary Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares that evidenced ownership of Company Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Ordinary Shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.02(e) (No Liability), if, at any time after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Ordinary Shares for twelve months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holder of Company Ordinary Shares who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration, without interest.

(e) No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Share has not been surrendered before five years after the Effective Time (or immediately before such earlier date on which Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis; provided that (i) no such investment shall relieve Parent or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by this Article II, including the obligation to deposit additional funds with the Paying Agent to cover any deficiency in the Exchange Fund, as provided in Section 2.02(a) and (ii) such investments shall be: (1) marketable obligations of, or obligations fully and directly guaranteed by, the United States, which obligations have a maturity of not more than 90 days; (2) repurchase obligations with a term of not more than ten days for underlying securities of the types described in the preceding clause (1) entered into with any bank organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, the commercial paper of which bank is rated A-2 or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Prime-2 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.; or (3) money market funds (including tax-free funds) registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended from time to time, which have the highest rating available from a nationally recognized rating agency (e.g., AAA from Standard & Poor’s). Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.

(g) Withholding Rights. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the 102 Trustee and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement (including without limitation the Merger Consideration and payments made pursuant to Section 6.04(b) (Company Stock Options) such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Withholding Tax Ruling and the Options Tax Ruling, if obtained, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”), the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Ordinance”), or under any provision of state, local, Israeli or foreign Tax Law; provided, however, that with respect to withholding of Israeli Tax, in the event any holder of record of Company Ordinary Shares or Company Stock Options provides Parent, the Paying Agent or the Surviving Corporation with a valid withholding certificate issued by the Israeli Tax Authority (the “ITA”) regarding the withholding (or exemption from withholding) of Israeli Tax from the Merger Consideration or the Option Consideration to Parent’s reasonable satisfaction, at least two Business Days prior to the date of payment of such Merger Consideration or the Option Consideration, then the deduction and withholding of any amounts under the Ordinance or any other provision of Israeli Law or requirement, if any, from the Merger Consideration or the Option Consideration, as applicable, payable to such holder of record of Company Ordinary

 

6


Shares or Company Stock Options, as applicable, shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such withholding certificate. For such purpose the Withholding Tax Ruling and the Options Tax Ruling will be considered a valid withholding certificate provided that if the applicable ruling requires the affirmative consent of the relevant holder, such holder consented to join any such applicable ruling. To the extent amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(h) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such customary terms as may be required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate any cash that would be payable or deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.

Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw or modify, or propose to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the approval or recommendation by the Company Board of this Agreement or the Merger (it being understood that taking a neutral position or no position with respect to any Company Takeover Proposal, except in the circumstances set forth in Section 5.02(d), shall be considered an amendment or adverse modification), (ii) enter into, approve, adopt or recommend, or propose to enter into, approve, adopt or recommend, any Company Takeover Proposal or any letter of intent, term sheet, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other Contract or instrument constituting or relating to any Company Takeover Proposal, or any other Contract or instrument that would require the Company to abandon, terminate or breach any of its obligations hereunder, or that would prevent the Company from consummating the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) take any other action inconsistent with the Company Recommendation, or (iv) waive the benefits of, provide any consent under, permit any noncompliance with, fail to enforce, or agree to modify in any manner, any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party (any of the foregoing, a “Company Recommendation Change”).

good faith, based on the written advice of outside counsel, that it is necessary to do so in order to comply with their fiduciary obligations under applicable Law, then before receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval (and in no event after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval) the Company Board may take a neutral position or no position with respect to such Superior Company Proposal. The Company Board shall not take a neutral position or no position with respect to a Superior Company Proposal pursuant to this Section 5.02(d) unless: (1) the Company notifies Parent in writing of its intention to take such action, promptly after the Company Board resolves to take such action but in any event not less than five Business Days before taking such action, which notice shall include the identity of the offeror and a true and complete copy of the most current version of such Superior Company Proposal (including any proposed agreement or other offer documents), (2) for five Business Days following delivery of such notice, the Company negotiates in good faith with Parent with respect to any revised proposal from Parent in respect of the terms of the Transactions (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) and (3) Parent does not make, within such five-Business Day period, an offer that is at least as favorable to the shareholders of the Company, as determined by the Company Board in good faith based on the written advice of the Company’s independent financial advisor, as such Superior Company Proposal (it being understood that any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of any such Superior Company Proposal shall require a new written notice from the Company and an additional five-Business Day period that satisfies this Section 5.02(d)).

(e) Required Notices. The Company promptly and in any event within 48 hours shall advise Parent orally and in writing of (i) any Company Takeover Proposal or any inquiry with respect to, or that could lead to, any Company Takeover Proposal, the identity of the Person making any such Company Takeover Proposal or inquiry and the material terms of any such Company Takeover Proposal or inquiry.

The Company shall, and shall cause each of its respective subsidiaries to, afford to Parent and to its officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other Representatives, reasonable access during normal business hours during the period before the earlier of the Effective Time or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, to all its properties, books, contracts, commitments, personnel and records; provided that any such activities shall be conducted in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Company, and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its respective subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to Parent (a) copy of each report, schedule and other document filed or submitted by it pursuant to the requirements of federal, state or foreign securities Laws (and the Company shall deliver to Parent a copy of each material report, schedule and other material document proposed to be filed or submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of federal or foreign securities Laws not less than two Business Days prior to such filing) and a copy of any communication (including “comment letters”) received by the Company from the SEC, ISA, Nasdaq or TASE concerning compliance with securities Laws and (b) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as such other party may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide access to any information or documents which would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, constitute a waiver of, or result in an impairment of, attorney-client privilege held by the Company. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be subject to the confidentiality agreement, dated November 23, 2011, between the Company and Parent, which agreement is hereby amended by deleting Section 19 thereof in its entirety, provided, however, that in the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.01(e) prior to the Effective Time, then such Section 19 shall be reinstated and be of full force and effect for a period of 270 days commencing from the date of such termination, except that said Section 19 shall not prohibit Parent from taking any actions expressly permitted under this Agreement (as so amended, the “Confidentiality Agreement”); provided, further, that Parent agrees that if after the date of this Agreement (i) it requests to receive information subject to a confidentiality agreement with a third party, (ii) it is specifically advised by the Company in writing in advance of the disclosure of such information that such information is subject to a confidentiality agreement that would be breached by the disclosure of such information and is offered the opportunity to decline to receive such information and (iii) it elects to receive and does receive such information, then Parent and Merger Sub shall thereafter be barred from asserting that such breach or any claim arising from such breach or damages or losses resulting from such breach forms the basis of the failure of any condition set forth in Sections 7.01 or 7.02 to be satisfied. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub shall not, and shall each

 

47


use their respective best efforts to cause their Representatives not to, use information obtained pursuant to this Section 6.02 for any purpose unrelated to consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions.

The Company shall, upon request of Parent, but subject to applicable Law, promptly deliver to Parent a copy of each such filing made and each such approval obtained by it. The Company and its Representatives shall not conduct any negotiation with the OCS regarding the OCS Approval without prior coordination with Parent, and will permit Parent’s Representatives to participate in all discussions and meetings with OCS related thereto if so agreed to by the OCS.

In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Company or Company Subsidiary (as applicable) employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all new benefit plans to the extent coverage under such new benefit plan replaces coverage under a comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such Company or Company Subsidiary (as applicable) employee participated immediately before the replacement.

In addition, if the Company or Parent shall fail to pay such amount when due, the party failing to pay such amount shall also pay to the other all of its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with efforts to collect such amounts. The Company and Parent each acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 6.07 are an integral part of the Transactions and that, without these agreements, the other party would not enter into this Agreement.

Upon payment of the Parent Termination Fee or Parent Reduced Termination Fee, as applicable, in the circumstances described in this Section 6.07, none of Parent, Merger Sub or their Affiliates or any of their respective current, former or future directors, officers, shareholders, partners, stockholders, managers or members shall have any liability in respect of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any of the Transactions. Upon payment of the Company Termination Fee or Company Reduced Termination Fee, as applicable, in the circumstances described in this Section 6.07, none of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or their Affiliates or any of their respective current, former or future directors, officers, shareholders, partners, stockholders, managers or members shall have any liability in respect of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any of the Transactions. In no event shall the Company (and the Company shall ensure that its Affiliates do not) seek to recover any money damages or losses, or seek to pursue any other recovery, judgment, damages or remedy (including any equitable remedy) of any kind, in connection with this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any of the Transactions, except to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 6.07(d) and Section 6.07(e).

SECTION 6.08. Indemnification. (a) After the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to continue to honor all the Company’s obligations to exculpate

 

54


or indemnify the current or former directors or officers of the Company for acts or omissions by such persons occurring before the Effective Time (including acts or omissions relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreement and the Transactions) to the extent that such obligations of the Company exist on the date of this Agreement, whether pursuant to the Company Charter, individual indemnity agreements or otherwise, in each case as in effect on the date hereof (or arising after the date hereof (i) with a newly hired officer, director, employee or agent in the Ordinary Course of Business or (ii) with Parent’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and such obligations shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of the Company Charter and such individual indemnity agreements or other applicable documents from the Effective Time until the expiration the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any claims against such persons arising from, relating to, or otherwise in respect of, such acts or omissions. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent, from and after the Effective Time until seven (7) years from the Effective Time, shall cause, unless otherwise required by Law, the articles of association, certificate of incorporation and by-laws (as applicable) and comparable organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation and each of its subsidiaries to contain provisions no less favorable to any indemnified party with respect to exculpation and limitation of liabilities of directors and officers, insurance and indemnification than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the Company Charter and comparable organizational documents of the relevant Company Subsidiaries, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any indemnified parties with respect to exculpation and limitation of liabilities or insurance and indemnification.

(b) For a period of seven (7) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company (provided that Parent may substitute therefor policies with reputable and financially sound carriers of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the Persons insured thereunder) with respect to claims arising from, relating to, or otherwise in respect of, facts or events which occurred at or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that Parent shall not be obligated to make annual premium payments for such insurance to the extent such premiums exceed 250% of the annual premium paid by the Company as of the date hereof (such amount, the “Maximum Premium”). If such insurance coverage cannot be obtained at all, or can only be obtained at an annual premium in excess of the Maximum Premium, Parent shall cause to be maintained the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ insurance obtainable for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Premium. The Company may, with the prior written consent of Parent, prior to the Effective Time purchase a “tail policy” with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time that were committed by such officers and directors in their capacity as such; provided, that in no event shall the cost of such policy exceed the Maximum Premium and, if such a “tail policy” is purchased, Parent shall have no further obligations under this Section 6.08(b). The current or former directors or officers may be required to make reasonable application and provide reasonable and customary representations and warranties to applicable insurance carriers for the purpose of obtaining such insurance.

(c) From and after the Effective Time the indemnified parties to whom this Section 6.08 applies shall be intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.08. From and after the Effective Time the provisions of this Section 6.08 are intended to be for the benefit of

 

55


each such indemnified party, his or her successors, heirs or representatives. Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any such indemnified party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 6.08. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights of the indemnified parties to whom this Section 6.08 applies shall be in addition to any rights such Persons may have under the articles of association or comparable governing documents of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, or under any applicable Contracts or Laws.

(d) This Section 6.08 shall be binding upon Parent and the Surviving Corporation and their respective successors and assigns. In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.08.

SECTION 6.09. Public Announcement. Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the Merger and the other Transactions and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement before such consultation, except to the extent required by Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange. For the avoidance of any doubt, nothing in this Section 6.09 shall prevent any party from making or filing any public statement or report required to be made or filed by Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange, provided that, unless prohibited by applicable Law, such party provides the other with reasonable advanced notice, and permits such other party to comment thereon.

SECTION 6.10. Israeli Tax Rulings. (a) As soon as practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants to prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling including an interim ruling (which shall be confirmed by Parent prior to its submission) confirming that the conversion of Company Stock Options subject to Section 102 of the Ordinance in accordance with Section 6.04 (Company Stock Options) and Company Ordinary Shares subject to Section 102 of the Ordinance in accordance with Section 2.01(c) (Conversion of Company Ordinary Shares) shall not be regarded as a violation of the “requisite holding period” (as such term is defined in Section 102 of the Ordinance) so long as the respective Option Consideration and the Merger Consideration are deposited with the 102 Trustee until the end of the respective holding period (which ruling may be subject to customary conditions regularly associated with such a ruling) (the “Options Tax Ruling”). The Company shall include a request to exempt Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent from any withholding obligation, in the request for the Options Tax Ruling. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.03(c) and Section 6.03(d), each of the Company and Parent shall cause their respective Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants to coordinate all activities, and to cooperate with each other, with respect to the preparation and filing of such application and in the preparation of any written or oral

 

56


submissions that may be necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Options Tax Ruling. The final text of the Option Tax Ruling shall in all circumstances be subject to the prior written confirmation of Parent or its counsel, which shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to obtain the Options Tax Ruling, as promptly as practicable, however, if a final or interim ruling is not obtained for any reason whatsoever by the Closing Date, the Closing shall not be delayed or postponed merely for that reason.

(b) As soon as practicable following the date hereof and no later than five (5) Business Days after the date hereof, the Company shall prepare and file, and shall instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants to prepare and file, with the ITA an application for a ruling (which shall be confirmed by Parent prior to its submission) that (i) with respect to holders of Company Ordinary Shares that are non-Israeli residents (as defined in the Ordinance or as will be determined by the ITA), (A) exempting Parent, the Paying Agent and Surviving Corporation from any obligation to withhold Israeli Tax at the source from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, including the Merger Consideration, or clarifying that no such obligation exists, or (B) clearly instructing Parent, the Paying Agent or the Surviving Corporation how such withholding at the source is to be executed, and in particular, with respect to the classes or categories of holders of the Company Ordinary Shares from which Tax is to be withheld (if any), the rate or rates of withholding to be applied and how to identify any such non-Israeli residents; and (ii) with respect to holders of Company Ordinary Shares that are Israeli residents (as defined in the Ordinance or as will be determined by the ITA) (x) exempting Parent, the Paying Agent and Surviving Corporation from any obligation to withhold Israeli Tax at the source from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, including the Merger Consideration, or clarifying that no such obligation exists, or (y) clearly instructing Parent, the Paying Agent or Surviving Corporation how such withholding at the source is to be executed, and in particular, with respect to the classes or categories of holders of the Company Ordinary Shares from which Tax is to be withheld (if any), the rate or rates of withholding to be applied (the “Withholding Tax Ruling”), such ruling to be in form and substance to Parent’s reasonable satisfaction. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.03(c) and Section 6.03(d), each of the Company and Parent shall cause their respective Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants to coordinate all activities, and to cooperate with each other, with respect to the preparation and filing of such application and in the preparation of any written or oral submissions that may be necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Withholding Tax Ruling. The final text of the Withholding Tax Ruling shall in all circumstances be subject to the prior written confirmation of Parent or its counsel, which shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to obtain the Withholding Tax Ruling as promptly as practicable, however, if a final or interim ruling is not obtained for any reason whatsoever by the Closing Date, the Closing shall not be delayed or postponed merely for that reason.

(c) If any of the Withholding Tax Ruling or the Options Tax Ruling is not obtained prior to the Closing Date, the Closing shall not be delayed or postponed merely for that

 

57


reason and the Company shall instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants to apply to the ITA prior to the Closing Date for an extension of time with respect to the obligation to deduct or withhold Israeli Tax from the Merger Consideration and/or Option Consideration, as applicable, payable pursuant to this Agreement and if such extension is not granted prior to the date such payments become due and payable, Parent, Paying Agent, the 102 Trustee or the Surviving Corporation may make such payments and withhold any applicable Israeli Taxes in accordance with applicable Law.

SECTION 6.11. Merger Sub Obligation. Parent shall cause Merger Sub to comply with all of its obligations under this Agreement. During the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Merger Sub shall not, and Parent shall not permit Merger Sub to, conduct any business or undertake any activities except as required to perform its express obligations hereunder or otherwise in connection with the Transactions.

ARTICLE VIII

Termination, Amendment and Waiver

SECTION 8.01. Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions contemplated hereby abandoned at any time before the Effective Time, whether before or after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval:

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company;

(b) by either Parent or the Company:

(i) if the Merger is not consummated on or before August 14, 2012 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that Parent or the Company shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(b)(i) if the failure to consummate the Merger by such date results from material breach by Parent or Merger Sub (in the case of termination by Parent) or the Company (in the case of termination by the Company) of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or in any Ancillary Agreement;

(ii) if any Governmental Entity issues an order, decree or ruling or takes any other action permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that if the issuance of such final, non-appealable order, decree, ruling or other action was primarily due to the failure of a party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Ancillary Agreement then any termination of the Agreement by such party pursuant to this Section 8.01(b)(ii) shall be deemed to be a termination by the other party pursuant to Section 8.01(c) or 8.01(e), as applicable;

(iii) if any condition to the obligation of such party to consummate the Merger set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 (in the case of Parent) or Section 7.01 or Section 7.03 (in the case of the Company) becomes incapable of being satisfied on or before the Outside Date; provided, however, that Parent or the Company shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(b)(iii) if the failure of such condition results from material breach by Parent or Merger Sub (in the case of termination by Parent) or the Company (in the case of termination by the Company) of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or in any Ancillary Agreement;

(iv) if, upon a vote at a duly held meeting to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Shareholder Approval is not obtained;

(c) by Parent, if the Company breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.02 (Conditions to Obligations of Parent and Merger Sub) and (ii) cannot be cured or has not been cured within 45 days after the giving of written notice to the Company of such breach;

 

61


(d) by Parent:

(i) if the Company Board fails to reaffirm publicly and unconditionally its recommendation to the Company’s shareholders that they give the Company Shareholder Approval within four (4) days of Parent’s written request to do so (which request may be made at any time following public disclosure of a Company Takeover Proposal), which public reaffirmation must also include the unconditional rejection of such Company Takeover Proposal; provided that Parent shall no longer be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause (i) if the Company Shareholder Approval is obtained; or

(ii) if (A) the Company or any of its Representatives takes any of the actions prohibited by Section 5.02 (No Solicitation by the Company) or (B) a Company Recommendation Change shall have occurred; or

(iii) if any temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other order issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition prevents the enforcement of Section 6.07(b) or Section 6.07(c) (Fees and Expenses); or

(e) by the Company:

(i) if Parent breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.03 (Conditions to Obligation of the Company) and (B) cannot be or has not been cured within 45 days after the giving of written notice to Parent of such breach; or

(ii) if, (A) all of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 have been and continue to be satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at the Closing), (B) the Company has notified Parent in writing that it is ready, willing and able to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (C) Parent and Merger Sub fail to complete the Closing when required pursuant to Section 1.02, and (D) Parent and Merger Sub fail to complete the Closing within three (3) Business Days after the date of receipt of the notice contemplated by clause (B) and the Company stood ready, willing and able to consummate the Merger through the end of such three (3) Business Day period.

For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 6.07(g) and Section 9.10, the existence of the right of a party to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 8.01 shall not, prior to such termination, derogate from or affect any other right or remedy such party may have prior to such termination.

 

62


SECTION 8.02. Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination. In order to terminate this Agreement under Section 8.01, the terminating party shall give written notice of such termination to the other parties specifying the provision or provisions of this Agreement on which such termination is based. Upon such termination in accordance with Section 8.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, other than the penultimate sentence of Section 6.02 (Access to Information; Confidentiality), Section 6.07 (Fees and Expenses), this Section 8.02 and Article IX (General Provisions), which provisions shall survive such termination; provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.07(g), the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party from any liability for any intentional or willful inaccuracy in or intentional or willful breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or other provision hereof. In addition, in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(b) or Section 8.01(e), Parent agrees that for a period of eighteen (18) months commencing from the date on which this Agreement is terminated, Parent will not directly or indirectly solicit to employ any of the officers or employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, provided that the following shall be deemed not to be a violation of the foregoing: (a) any general solicitations not specifically targeting officers or employees of the Company or a Company Subsidiary and any hiring resulting therefrom; or (b) soliciting or hiring officers or employees whose employment has been terminated by the Company or any Company Subsidiary at least six (6) months prior to their solicitation by Parent.

SECTION 8.03. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties at any time before or after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval; provided, however, that (i) after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, there shall be made no amendment that by Law requires further approval by the shareholders of the Company without the further approval of such shareholders and (ii) no amendment shall be made to this Agreement after the Effective Time. Except as required by Law, no amendment of this Agreement by the Company shall require the approval of the shareholders of the Company. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties.

SECTION 8.04. Extension; Waiver. At any time before the Effective Time, the parties may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, there shall be made no waiver that by Law requires further approval by the shareholders of the Company without the further approval of such shareholders and (ii) no waiver shall be made under this Agreement after the Effective Time. Except as required by Law, no extension or waiver by the Company shall require the approval of the shareholders of the Company. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights. For any matter under this Agreement requiring the consent or approval of any party, such consent or approval shall be valid and binding on a party hereto only if such consent or approval is delivered in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

 

63


SECTION 8.05. Procedure for Termination, Amendment, Extension or Waiver. A termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, an amendment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.03 or an extension or waiver pursuant to Section 8.04 shall, in order to be effective, require in the case of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, action by its Board of Directors or the duly authorized designee of its Board of Directors. Termination of this Agreement before the Effective Time shall not require the approval of the shareholders of the Company.

Other than (i) the Voting Agreement entered into with Significant Shareholder and (ii) the Merger Agreement, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto.

(b) Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

(c) Amendments; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or waived, except by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any party hereof in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

(d) Acknowledgements. The parties hereto agree and expressly acknowledge that (i) each of the covenants contained in Section 1 is integral to the Merger and the other Transactions, (ii) without the protection of such covenants, Parent and Merger Sub would not have entered into the Merger Agreement, (iii) the consideration paid by Parent and Merger Sub in the Merger bears no relationship to the damages Parent and Merger Sub may suffer in the event of any breach of any of the covenants contained herein, and (iv) such covenants contain limitations as to time, geographical area and/or scope of activity to be restrained, which are reasonable and necessary to protect Parent’s legitimate business interests. If any of the provisions of Section 1 shall nevertheless for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be enforceable to the fullest extent compatible with applicable Law. Significant Shareholder hereby expressly waives any right to assert inadequacy of consideration as a defense to enforcement of the covenants contained herein should enforcement ever become necessary.


(e) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the restrictions herein specified are adjudged unreasonable in a court proceeding, the parties hereby agree to the reformation of such restriction by the court to limits which the court finds to be reasonable, and neither party shall assert that such restrictions should be eliminated in their entirety by such court. Each party agrees that the restrictions shall not be challenged by such party in any court proceeding. Upon any determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

(f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties.

(g) Descriptive Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(h) Drafting; Interpretation. The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limiting the generality of the foregoing”.

(i) Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Israel applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state, without regard to any conflicts of law principles of such state that would cause the laws of another jurisdiction to be applicable.

(j) Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court in the State of Israel, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In addition, each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any competent court in Tel-Aviv-Jaffa, Israel in the event any dispute arises out of this


Agreement or any Transaction, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any Transaction in any court other than in the State of Israel.
