Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers. 

Section 258 of the Israeli Companies Law, 5759 – 1999 (the "Israeli Companies Law"), prohibits a company from exculpating an officer or director from liability for the breach of his duty of loyalty. The company may exculpate an officer or director from liability for the breach of his duty of care, may insure his liability for a breach of the duty of loyalty and the duty of care, or indemnify him for such breach, but only in accordance with the following sections: 

Section 259 of the Israeli Companies Law permits a company to provide in its articles of association that an officer or a director of the company may be exculpated, to the extent provided in the articles of association, from liability for the breach of his duty of care, except for a breach of the duty of care in case of a prohibited dividend distribution and other prohibited distributions. 

Section 260(a) of the Israeli Companies Law permits a company to provide in its articles of association that the company may indemnify an officer or a director in such capacity, for the following liabilities or expenses: 

 

monetary liability incurred pursuant to a judgment, including a settlement or arbitration decision approved by a court, in an action brought by a third party; 

 

reasonable legal expenses, including attorney fees, incurred pursuant to an investigation or a procedure commenced against the director or the officer by a competent authority, and that was terminated without any indictment being filed and without any monetary liability to the office holder in exchange for a criminal procedure, or that was terminated without any indictment being filed but with a monetary liability in exchange for a criminal procedure in an offence that does not require to proof criminal intent (mens rea). 

 

reasonable legal expenses, including attorney fees, incurred in an action brought against the director or officer by or on behalf of the company or others; and 

 

reasonable legal expenses, including attorney fees, incurred in defending criminal charges of which the director or officer was acquitted, or as a result of a criminal charge that does not require proving criminal intent of which the director or officer was convicted. 

Section 260(b) of the Israeli Companies Law specifies that a company may indemnify a director or officer in advance in respect of certain liabilities either in advance of an event or following an event provided that a provision authorizing such indemnification is inserted in its articles of association. Our articles of association contain such a provision. An undertaking by a company to indemnify a director or officer in  

 

II-1


 

advance for civil actions by third parties must be limited to foreseeable liabilities in light of the actual activities of the company when it provided the undertaking and reasonable amounts or criteria determined by the board of directors. 

Section 261 of the Israeli Companies Law permits a company to provide in its articles of association that the company may insure a director or an officer with regard to acts performed by him or her in their capacity as a director or an officer. This insurance may cover: 

 

liability for breach of the duty of care; 

 

liability for breach of the duty of loyalty, provided that the officer or director acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company; or 

 

monetary liabilities imposed for the benefit of a third party. 

All of these provisions are specifically limited in their scope by the Israeli Companies Law, which provides that a company may not indemnify an officer or director nor enter into an insurance contract that would provide coverage for any monetary liability incurred as a result of any of the following: 

 

a breach by the officer or director of the duty of loyalty, unless the officer or director acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company; 

 

an intentional or reckless breach by the officer or director of the duty of care, except for a breach that was made due to negligence; 

 

any act of omission done with the intent to derive an illegal personal benefit; or 

 

any fine levied against the director or officer. 

Our articles of association provide that, subject to the provisions of applicable law, we may procure insurance for or indemnify any person who is not an officer, including any of our employees, agents, consultants or contractors. In addition, we may procure insurance for or indemnify any officer to the fullest extent permitted under law for any liability resulting from a breach of a duty, provided he or she acted in good faith and within the scope of his or her duties. We may grant an undertaking in advance to indemnify an officer or director, provided that such undertaking is limited to types of events that our Board of Directors deems likely to occur and is limited to an amount determined by our Board of Directors to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

We have acquired directors' and officers' liability insurance covering our officers and directors and the officers and directors of our subsidiaries against certain claims. Immediately prior to the completion of this offering we will enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers and the directors and officers of our subsidiaries, providing them with indemnification for liabilities or expenses incurred as a result of acts done by them in their capacity as directors and officers of our company. 

Item 7.    Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. 

During the past three years, we issued securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 as follows: 

 

In 2002, we issued an aggregate of 1,702,557 of our ordinary shares upon the exercise of convertible notes held by Leonardo L.P. 

 

During 2003, we issued 457,095 ordinary shares to three of the officers of our subsidiary, Telematics Wireless, in exchange for their holdings in Telematics Wireless, pursuant to a certain agreement dated December 30, 2002. 

 

During the years 2003, 2004 and 2005 we issued 257,460, 53,859 and 206,853 ordinary shares, respectively, upon exercise of options by our employees. 

We believe that the securities issued in the transactions described above were exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(2) or Regulation S of the Securities Act.

Item 9.    Undertakings. 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser. 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses  

 

II-5


 

incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that: 

(1)    For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. 

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

     Subject to the provisions of the Company's Memorandum of Association, the

     business activity or occupation whatsoever; provided, however, that the
     Company may donate reasonable amounts to worthy causes, as the Board may
     determine in its discretion, even if such donations are not within the
     framework of business considerations.



4.   LIMITED LIABILITY

     The liability of each Shareholder for the company's obligations is limited
     to the unpaid sum, if any, owing to the company in consideration for the
     issuance of the shares allotted to him.

                                  SHARE CAPITAL

5.   SHARE CAPITAL

     5.1  The authorized share capital of the Company is 20 million New Israeli
          Shekels (NIS Twenty Million Shekels) divided into 60 million Ordinary
          Shares NIS 0.33 1/3 par value each.

     5.2  The ordinary shares of the Company confer on the holders thereof
          rights to receive notice of, attend, and vote in meetings of the
          shareholders, rights to receive dividends, rights to receive a
          distribution of assets upon liquidation and certain other rights all
          as specified in these Articles.

6.   INCREASE OF SHARE CAPITAL

     6.1  The Company may, from time to time, by a resolution of the General
          Meeting adopted by an Ordinary Majority, whether or not all the shares
          then authorized have been issued, and whether or not all the shares
          theretofore issued have been called up for payment, increase its share
          capital by the creation of new shares. Any such increase shall be in
          such amount and shall be divided into shares of such nominal value,
          and such shares shall confer such rights and preferences, and shall be
          subject to such restrictions, as such resolution of the General
          Meeting shall provide.

     6.2  Except to the extent otherwise provided in such resolution of the
          General Meeting, such new shares shall be subject to all the
          provisions applicable to the shares of the original capital.

7.   SPECIAL RIGHTS; MODIFICATIONS OF RIGHTS

     7.1  Without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred upon the
          holders of existing shares in the Company, the Company may, from time
          to time, by a resolution of the Board, issue shares with such
          preferred or deferred rights or rights of redemption or other special
          rights and/or restrictions, whether with respect to liquidation,
          dividends, voting, conversion, repayment of share capital or
          otherwise, as may be stipulated in such resolution.

     7.2  If at any time the issued share capital is divided into different
          classes of shares, the rights attached to any class, unless otherwise
          provided by these Articles, may be modified or abrogated by the
          Company, by a resolution of the General Meeting adopted by an Ordinary
          Majority, subject to the consent of the holders of more than fifty
          percent (50%) of the issued shares of such class or the sanction of a
          resolution of a separate General Meeting of the holders of the shares
          of such class adopted by an Ordinary Majority, except if no rights in
          the Company are attached



          to that class of shares other than the receipt of their par value on a
          winding-up of the Company ("DEFERRED SHARES") and unless the issue
          terms of those shares provide otherwise.

     7.3  Unless otherwise provided by these Articles, the increase of the
          authorized number of shares of an existing class of shares, or the
          issuance of additional shares thereof or the creation of a new class
          of shares identical to an existing class of shares in all respects,
          shall not be deemed, for purposes of this Article 7, to modify or
          abrogate the rights attached to the previously issued shares of such
          class or of any other class.

8.   CONSOLIDATION. SUBDIVISION. CANCELLATION AND REDUCTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

     8.1  The Company may, from time to time, by a resolution of the General
          Meeting adopted by an Ordinary Majority (subject, however, to the
          provisions of Articles 7.2 and 7.3 hereof and to the Companies Law):

          8.1.1 Consolidate and divide all or any of its issued or unissued
                share capital into shares of larger nominal value than its
                existing shares;

          8.1.2 Subdivide its shares, issued or unissued, or any of them, into
                shares of smaller nominal value than is fixed by these Articles,
                subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, and the
                resolution whereby any share is subdivided may determine that,
                as among the holders of the shares resulting from such
                subdivision, one or more of the shares may, as compared with the
                others, have any such preferred or deferred rights or rights of
                redemption or other special rights, or be subject to any such
                restrictions, as the Company has power to attach to unissued or
                new shares.

          8.1.3 Cancel any shares which, at the date of the adoption of such
                resolution of the General Meeting, have not been allotted, so
                long as the Company is not under an obligation to allot these
                shares, and diminish the amount of its share capital by the
                amount of the shares so cancelled; or

          8.1.4 Reduce its share capital in any manner, subject to any
                authorization or consent required by Law.

     8.2  With respect to any consolidation of issued shares into shares of
          larger nominal value, and with respect to any other action which may
          result in fractional shares, the Board may settle any difficulty which
          may arise with regard thereto, as it deems appropriate, including,
          inter alia, resort to one or more of the following actions:

          8.2.1 Determine, as to the holder of shares so consolidated, which
                 issued shares shall be consolidated into each share of larger
                nominal value;

          8.2.2 Allot, in contemplation of or subsequent to such consolidation
                or other action, such shares or fractional shares sufficient to
                preclude or remove fractional share holdings;



          8.2.3 Redeem, in the case of redeemable shares, and subject to
                applicable Law, such shares or fractional shares sufficient to
                preclude or remove fractional share holdings;

          8.2.4 Cause the transfer of fractional shares by certain Shareholders
                to other Shareholders so as to most expediently preclude or
                remove any fractional shareholdings, and cause the transferees
                to pay the transferors the fair value of the fractional shares
                so transferred, and the Board is hereby authorized to act as
                agent for the transferors and transferees with power of
                substitution for purposes of implementing the provisions of this
                Article 8.2.4.

                                     SHARES

9.   ISSUANCE OF SHARE CERTIFICATES: REPLACEMENT OF LOST CERTIFICATES

     9.1  Share certificates shall be issued under the seal or stamp of the

          person or persons so authorized by the Board.

     9.2  Each Shareholder shall be entitled to one numbered certificate for all
          the shares of any class registered in his name, and if the Board so
          approves, to several certificates, each for one or more of such
          shares. Each certificate may specify the serial numbers of the shares
          represented thereby and may also specify the amount paid up thereon.

     9.3  A share certificate registered in the names of two or more persons
          shall be delivered to the person first named in the Shareholder
          Register in respect of such co-ownership ("THE FIRST CO-OWNER").

     9.4  If a share certificate is defaced, lost or destroyed, it may be
          replaced, upon payment of such fee, and upon the furnishing of such
          evidence of ownership and such indemnity, as the Board may deem
          appropriate.

10.  REGISTERED HOLDER

     Except as otherwise provided in these Articles, the Company shall be
     entitled to treat the registered holder of any share as the absolute owner
     thereof, and, shall be entitled to treat the holder of any share in trust
     as a Shareholder and to issue to him a share certificate, in condition that
     the trustee notifies the Company of the identity of the beneficiary, and,
     accordingly, shall not, except as ordered by a court of competent
     jurisdiction, or as required by Law, be bound to recognize any equitable or
     other claim to, or interest in, such share on the part of any other person.

11.  ISSUANCE OF SHARES AND OTHER SECURITIES

     11.1 The unissued shares from time to time shall be under the control of
          the Board, which shall have the power to allot shares or otherwise
          dispose of them to such persons, on such terms and conditions
          (including inter alia terms relating to calls as set forth in Article
          13 ("Calls on Shares") hereof), and either at par or at a



          premium, or, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, at a
          discount, and at such times, as the Board may deem appropriate, and
          the power to give to any person the option to acquire from the Company
          any shares, either at par or at a premium, or, subject as aforesaid,
          at a discount, during such time and for such consideration as the
          Board may deem appropriate.

     11.2 The Board may determine to issue a series of bonds or other debt
          securities, as part of its authority or to take a loan on behalf of
          the Company, and within the limits of such authority.

     11.3 The Shareholders of the Company at any given time shall not have any
          preemptive right or priority or any other right whatsoever with
          respect to the acquisition of securities of the Company. The Board, in
          its sole discretion, may decide to offer securities of the Company
          first to existing Shareholders or to anyone or more of them.

     11.4 The Company is entitled to pay a commission (including underwriting
          fees) to any person, in consideration for underwriting services, or
          the marketing or distribution of securities of the Company, whether
          reserved or unreserved, as determined by the Board. Payments, as
          stated in this Article 11.4, may be paid in cash or in Securities of
          the Company, or in a combination thereof or in any other manner.

12.  PAYMENT IN INSTALLMENTS

     If by the terms of issuance of any share, the whole or any part of the
     price thereof shall be payable in installments, every such installment
     shall, when due, be paid to the Company by the then registered holder(s) of
     the share or the person(s) entitled thereto.

13.  CALLS ON SHARES

     13.1 The Board may, from time to time, make such calls as it may deem
          appropriate upon Shareholders in respect of any sum unpaid in respect
          of shares held by such Shareholders which is not, by the terms of
          issuance thereof or otherwise, payable at a fixed time, and each
          Shareholder shall pay the amount of every call so made upon him (and
          of each installment thereof if the same is payable in installments),
          to the person(s) and at the time(s) and place(s) designated by the
          Board, as any such time(s) may be thereafter extended and/or such
          person(s) or place(s) changed. Unless otherwise stipulated in the
          resolution of the Board (and in the notice referred to in
          Article13.2), each payment in response to a call shall be deemed to
          constitute a pro rata payment on account of all shares in respect of
          which such call was made.

     13.2 Notice of any call shall be given in writing to the applicable
          Shareholder(s) not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the time of
          payment, specifying the time and place of payment, and designating the
          person to whom such payment shall be made; provided, however, that
          before the time for any such payment, the Board may, by notice in
          writing to such Shareholder(s), revoke such call in whole or in part,
          extend such time, or alter such designated person and/or place. In the
          event of a call payable in installments, only one notice thereof need
          be given.



     13.3 If, by the terms of allotment of any share or otherwise, any amount is
          made payable at any fixed time, every such amount shall be payable at
          such time as if it were a call duly made by the Board and of which due
          notice had been given, and all the provisions herein contained with
          respect to calls shall apply to each such amount.

     13.4 Any amount unpaid in respect of a call shall bear interest from the
          date on which it is payable until actual payment thereof, at such rate
          (not exceeding the then prevailing debitory rate charged by leading
          commercial banks in Israel), and at such time(s) as the Board may
          prescribe.

     13.5 Upon the allotment of shares, the Board may provide for differences
          among the allottees of such shares as to the amount of calls and/or
          the times of payment thereof

     13.6 The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to
          pay all calls in respect thereof and all interest payable thereon.

14.  PREPAYMENT

     With the approval of the Board, any Shareholder may pay to the Company any
     amount not yet payable in respect of his shares, and the Board may approve
     the payment of interest on any such amount until the same would be payable
     if it had not been paid in advance, at such rate and time(s) as may be
     approved by the Board. The Board may, at any time cause the Company to
     repay all or any part of the money so advanced, without premium or penalty.
     Nothing in this Article 14 shall derogate from the right of the Board to
     make any call before or after receipt by the Company of any such advance.

15.  FORFEITURE AND SURRENDER

     15.1 If any Shareholder fails to pay any amount payable in respect of a
          call, or interest thereon as provided herein, on or before the day
          fixed for payment of the same, the Company, by resolution of the
          Board, may at any time thereafter, so long as such amount or interest
          remains unpaid, forfeit all or any of the shares in respect of which
          such call had been made. Any expense incurred by the Company in
          attempting to collect any such amount or interest, including, inter
          alia, attorneys' fees and costs of suit, shall be added to, and shall,
          for all purposes (including the accrual of interest thereon),
          constitute a part of the amount payable to the Company in respect of
          such call.

     15.2 Upon the adoption of a resolution of forfeiture, the Board shall cause
          notice thereof to be given to the Shareholder whose shares are the
          subject of such forfeiture, which notice shall state that, in the
          event of the failure to pay the entire amount so payable within a
          period stipulated in the notice (which period shall not be less than
          fourteen (14) days and which may be extended by the Board), such
          shares shall be ipso facto forfeited, provided, however, that, prior
          to the expiration of such period, the Board may nullify such
          resolution of forfeiture, but no such nullification shall estop the
          Board from adopting a further resolution of forfeiture in respect of
          the non-payment of such amount.



     15.3 Whenever shares are forfeited as herein provided, all distributions
          theretofore declared in respect thereof and not actually paid or
          distributed shall be deemed to have been forfeited at the same time.

     15.4 The Company, by resolution of the Board, may accept the voluntary
          surrender of any share.

     15.5 Any share forfeited or surrendered as provided herein shall become the
          property of the Company, and the same, subject to the provisions of
          these Articles, may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of as
          the Board deems appropriate.

     15.6 Any Shareholder whose shares have been forfeited or surrendered shall
          cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited or surrendered
          shares, but shall, notwithstanding, be liable to pay, and shall
          forthwith pay, to the Company, all calls, interest and expenses owing
          upon or in respect of such shares at the time of forfeiture or
          surrender, together with interest thereon from the time of forfeiture
          or surrender until actual payment, at the rate prescribed in Article
          13.4 above, and the Board, in its discretion, may enforce the payment
          of such moneys, or any part thereof, but shall not be under any
          obligation to do so. In the event of such forfeiture or surrender, the
          Company, by resolution of the Board, may accelerate the date(s) of
          payment of any or all amounts then owing by the Shareholder in
          question (but not yet due) in respect of all shares owned by such
          Shareholder, solely or jointly with another, and in respect of any
          other matter or transaction whatsoever.

     15.7 The Board may at any time, before any share so forfeited or
          surrendered shall have been sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed
          of, nullify the forfeiture or surrender on such conditions as it deems
          appropriate, but no such nullification shall estop the Board from
          re-exercising its powers of forfeiture pursuant to this Article15.

16.  LIEN

     16.1 Except to the extent the same may be waived or subordinated in
          writing, the Company shall have a first and paramount lien upon all
          the shares registered in the name of each Shareholder which are not
          fully paid up (without regard to any equitable or other claim or
          interest in such shares on the part of any other person), and upon the
          proceeds of the sale thereof, for the amount payable to the Company in
          respect of such unpaid shares, solely or jointly with another, to or
          with the Company, whether the period for the payment, fulfillment or
          discharge thereof shall have actually arrived or not. Such lien shall
          extend to all distributions from time to time declared in respect of
          such shares. Unless otherwise provided, the registration by the
          company of a transfer of shares shall be deemed to be a waiver on the
          part of the company of the lien (if any) existing on such shares
          immediately prior to such transfer.

     16.2 The Board may cause the Company to sell any shares subject to such
          lien when any such debt, liability or engagement has matured, in such
          manner as the Board may deem appropriate, but no such sale shall be
          made unless such debt, liability or engagement has not been satisfied
          within fourteen (14) days after written notice of



          the Company's intention to sell shall have been served on such
          Shareholder, his executors, administrators or assignees.

     16.3 The net proceeds of any such sale, after payment of the costs thereof,
          shall be applied in or toward satisfaction of the debts, liabilities
          or engagements of such Shareholder in connection with such unpaid
          shares (whether or not the same have matured), or any specific part of
          the same (as the Board may determine), and the balance, if any, shall
          be paid to the Shareholder, his executors, administrators or assigns.

17.  SALE AFTER FORFEITURE OR SURRENDER OR IN ENFORCEMENT OF LIEN

     Upon any sale of shares after forfeiture or surrender or for enforcing a
     lien, the Board may appoint a person to execute a proper instrument of
     transfer of the shares so sold and cause the purchaser's name to be entered
     in the Shareholders Register in respect of such shares, and the purchaser
     shall not be bound to see to the regularity of the proceedings, or to the
     application of the purchase money, and after his name has been entered in
     the Shareholder Register in respect of such shares, the validity of the
     sale shall not be impeached by any person, and the remedy of any person
     aggrieved by the sale shall be in damages only and against the Company
     exclusively.

18.  REDEEMABLE SHARES

     The Company may, by resolution of the Board, issue redeemable securities
     and the provisions of section 312 of the Companies Law will apply to the
     issue of such securities. The Board shall determine which securities of the
     redeemable securities shall be redeemed, from time to time, and it shall
     furnish written notice thereof of at least 14 days to the holders of the
     above-mentioned securities, regarding the place, the date and the
     conditions of the redemption.

19.  TRANSFER OF SHARES

     19.1 No transfer of shares shall be registered unless the Company receives
          a deed of transfer or other proper instrument of transfer (in form and
          substance satisfactory to the Board), together with any share
          certificate(s). Until the transferee has been registered in the
          Shareholders Register in respect of the shares so transferred, the
          Company may continue to regard the transferor as the owner thereof.
          The Board may, from time to time, prescribe a reasonable fee for
          registration of a transfer. A Deed of Transfer shall be in the
          following form or in any substantially similar form, including any
          such form as is acceptable to the transfer agent for the Company's
          shares, or in any form otherwise approved by the board.

     19.2 The transfer of shares which were not fully paid for, or shares on
          which the Company has a lien, shall have no validity unless approved
          by the Board, which may, in its absolute discretion and without giving
          any reason thereto, decline the registration of such transferor impose
          conditions on the transfer.

     19.3 The board may suspend the registration of transfers for such periods
          as it deems appropriate, and no such transfers shall be registered
          during any period in which the shareholders is so closed, provided
          such periods shall not exceed 30 days each year and provided that no
          such suspension shall take place in any 14 days precluding the recode
          date for any general meeting or to any distribution.

          19.4.1 In case of a share registered in the names of two or more
               holders, the Company may recognize the survivor(s) as the sole
               owner(s) thereof.

          19.4.2 Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the
               death of any person, upon producing evidence of the grand of
               probate or letters of administration or deceleration of
               succession (or such other evidence as the Board of Directors may
               reasonably deem sufficient that he sustains the character in
               respect of which he proposes to act under this Article or of his
               title), shall be registered as a shareholder in respect of such
               shares, or may, subject to the regulations as to transfer herein
               contained, transfer such share.

     19.5 The Company may recognize the receiver or liquidator of any corporate
          Shareholder in liquidation or dissolution, or the receiver or trustee
          in bankruptcy of any Shareholder, as being entitled to the shares
          registered in the name of such Shareholder, after receipt of evidence
          to the entitlement thereto, as determined by the Board.

     19.6 A person acquiring a right in shares as a result of being a custodian,
          administrator of the estate, executor of a will or the heir of a
          Shareholder, or a receiver, liquidator or a trustee in a liquidation,
          dissolution or bankruptcy of a Shareholder or according to another
          provision of Law, is entitled, after producing evidence of



          his right to the satisfaction of the Board, to be registered as the
          Shareholder or to transfer such shares to another person, subject to
          the provisions of this Article 19.

     25.4 Any Shareholder entitled to be present and vote in a General Meeting
          may bring any proposal with respect to any of the matters on the

          the General Meeting at the Company's Registered office, within three
          (3) days of the announcement of the convening of the General Meeting.

26.  QUORUM

     26.1 No business shall be transacted at a General Meeting, or at any
          adjournment thereof, unless a lawful quorum is present when the
          meeting proceeds to business.

     26.2 Subject to the requirements of the Companies Law, the rules of Nasdaq
          National Market and any other exchange on which the Company's
          securities are or may become quoted or listed, and the provisions of
          these Articles, any two or more Shareholders (not in default in
          payment of any sum referred to in Article 13 hereof), present in
          person or by proxy, or who have delivered to the Company proxy card
          indicating their manner of voting, and who hold or represent shares
          conferring in the aggregate at least thirty-three and one-third
          percent (33 1/3%) of the voting power of the Company, shall constitute
          a lawful quorum at General Meetings. A Shareholder or his proxy, who
          also serves as a proxy for other



          Shareholder(s), shall be regarded as two or more Shareholders, in
          accordance with the number of Shareholders he is representing.

     26.3 If within an hour from the time appointed for the General Meeting a
          quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened by the Board upon
          demand under Article 22.2 or, if not convened by the Board, if
          convened by the persons making or court demanding in accordance with
          the provisions of the Companies Law, shall be dissolved, but in any
          other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week,
          at the same time and place, or to such day and at such time and place
          as the Chairman may determine with the consent of the holders of a
          majority of the voting power represented at the meeting in person or
          by proxy and voting on the question of adjournment. No business shall
          be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might
          lawfully have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. At
          such adjourned meeting, any number of Shareholders present in person
          or by proxy or by proxy card, shall constitute a lawful quorum.

27.  CHAIRMAN

     The Chairman of the Board shall preside as Chairman at every General
     Meeting. If there is no such Chairman, or if the Chairman is not present
     within fifteen (15) minutes after the time fixed for holding such meeting
     or is unwilling to act as Chairman, the Shareholders present shall choose
     someone of their number or any other person to be Chairman. The position of
     Chairman shall not, by itself, entitle the holder thereof to vote at any
     General Meeting nor shall it entitle such holder to a second or casting
     vote (without derogating, however, from the rights of such Chairman to vote
     as a Shareholder or proxy of a Shareholder if, in fact, he is also a
     Shareholder or proxy, respectively).

28.  ADJOURNED MEETING

     A General Meeting at which a lawful quorum is present (hereinafter: "The
     Original General Meeting"), may resolve by an Ordinary Majority to adjourn
     the General Meeting, from time to time, to another time and/or place
     (hereinafter: an "Adjourned Meeting"). In the event that a General Meeting
     is adjourned for twenty one (21) days or more, a notice of the Adjourned
     Meeting shall be given in the same manner as the notice of the Original
     General Meeting. With the exception of the aforesaid, a Shareholder shall
     not be entitled to receive a notice of an Adjourned Meeting or of the
     issues which are to be discussed in the Adjourned Meeting. The Adjourned
     Meeting shall only discuss issues that could have been discussed at the
     Original General Meeting, and with respect to which no resolution was
     adopted.

29.  ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

     29.1 Except with respect to matters which require the approval of a special
          majority under the Companies Law or these Articles, all resolutions of
          the General Meeting, shall be deemed adopted if approved by an
          Ordinary Majority. A resolution of the General Meeting approving an
          amendment to the "Appointment of Directors" (Article 40 of these
          Articles) shall be deemed adopted only if approved by Special
          Majority.

     29.2 Every matter submitted to a General Meeting shall be decided by a show
          of hands, but if a written ballot is demanded by any Shareholder
          present in person, by proxy



          or by proxy card and entitled to vote at the meeting, the same shall
          be decided by such ballot. A written ballot may be demanded before the
          proposed resolution is voted upon or immediately after the declaration
          by the Chairman of the results of the vote by a show of hands. If a
          vote by written ballot is taken after such declaration, the results of
          the vote by a show of hands shall be of no effect, and the proposed
          resolution shall be decided by such written ballot. The demand for a
          written ballot may be withdrawn at any time before the same is
          conducted, in which event another Shareholder may then demand such
          written ballot. The demand for a written ballot shall not prevent the
          continuance of the meeting for the transaction of business other than
          the question on which the written ballot has been demanded.

     29.3 A declaration by the Chairman of the meeting that a resolution has
          been adopted unanimously, or adopted by a particular majority, or
          rejected, and an entry to that effect in the minute book of the
          Company, shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the
          number or proportion of the votes recorded in favor of or against such
          resolution.

30.  POWER TO ADJOURN

     (a) The Chairman of a General Meeting at which a quorum is present may,
     with the consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power
     represented in person or by proxy and voting on the question of adjournment
     (and shall if so directed by the meeting), adjourn the meeting from time to
     time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any
     adjournment meeting except business which might lawfully have been
     transacted at the meeting as originally called. (b) It shall not be
     necessary to announce an adjournment, unless the meeting is adjourned for
     thirty (30) days or more in which event announcement thereof shall be given
     in the manner required for the meeting as originally called.

31.  VOTING POWER

     Subject to the provisions of Article 32.1 and subject to any provision
     hereof conferring special rights as to voting, or restricting the right to
     vote, every Shareholder shall have one vote for each share held by him of
     record, on every resolution, without regard to whether the vote thereon is
     conducted in person, by proxy or by proxy card, by a show of hands, by
     written ballot or by any other means.

32.  VOTING RIGHTS

     32.1 No Shareholder shall be entitled to vote at any General Meeting (or be
          counted as a part of the lawful quorum thereat), unless all calls and
          other sums then payable by him in respect of his shares in the Company
          have been paid.

                 pursuant to this Article shall be in writing, delivered to the
                 Company and signed by the appointing or dismissing body, and

                 treated as the number of persons for purposes of establishing a
                 quorum) equal to the number of Directors for whom he acts as a
                 Director's Representative. If a Director's Representative is
                 also a Director in his own right, his rights as a Director's
                 Representative shall be in addition to his rights as a
                 Director.

          53.5.1 The Board may retain any dividend, bonus shares or other moneys
                 payable or property distributable in respect of a share on

                 toward satisfaction

          bank account specified by such person (or, if two or more persons are
          registered as joint holders of such share or are entitled jointly
          thereto as a result of the death or bankruptcy of the holder or
          otherwise, to anyone of such persons or to his bank account), or to
          such person and at such address as the person entitled thereto may
          direct in writing. Every such check shall be made payable to the order
          of the person to whom it is sent, or to such person as the person
          entitled thereto as aforesaid may direct, and payment of the check by
          the banker upon whom it is drawn shall be a good discharge to the

          of the Company until claimed. The payment by the Board of any
          unclaimed dividend or such other moneys into a separate account shall
          not constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof, and any
          dividend unclaimed after a period of seven (7) years from the date of
          declaration of such dividend, and any such other moneys unclaimed
          after a like period from the date the same were payable, shall be
          forfeited and shall revert to the Company; provided, however, that the
          Board may, at its discretion, cause the Company to pay any such
          dividend or such other moneys, or any part thereof, to a person who
          would have been entitled thereto had the same not reverted to the
          Company.

     53.8 Receipt from a Joint Holder

          If two or more persons are registered as joint holders of any share,
          or are entitled jointly thereto as a result of the death or bankruptcy
          of the holder or otherwise, anyone of them may give effectual receipts
          for any dividend, bonus shares or other moneys payable or property
          distributable in respect of such share.

     53.9 Manner of Capitalization of Profits and the Distribution of Bonus
          Shares

          Upon the resolution of the Board the Company may cause any moneys,
          investments, or other assets forming part of the undivided profits of
          the Company, standing to the credit of a reserve fund, or to the
          credit of a reserve fund for the



           redemption of capital, or in the hands of the Company and available
           for distribution, or representing premiums received on the issuance
           of shares and standing to the credit of the share premium account, to
           be capitalized and distributed as capital among such of the
           Shareholders as would be entitled to receive the same if distributed
           by way of dividend and in the same proportion, or may cause any part
           of such capitalized fund to be applied on behalf of such Shareholders
           in paying up in full, either at par or at such premium as the
           resolution may provide, any un issued shares or debentures or other
           securities of the Company which shall be distributed accordingly, in
           payment, in full or in part, of the uncalled liability on any issued
           shares or debentures or other securities, and may cause such
           distribution or payment to be accepted by such Shareholders in full
           satisfaction of their interest in such capitalized sum.

     53.10 The Board may settle, as it deems fit, any difficulty arising with
           regard to the distribution of bonus shares, distributions referred to
           in Articles 53.2 and 53.9 hereof or otherwise, and in particular, to
           issue certificates for fractions of shares and sell such fractions of
           shares in order to pay their consideration to those entitled thereto,
           to set the value for the distribution of certain assets and to
           determine that cash payments shall be paid to the Shareholders on the
           basis of such value, or that fractions whose value is less than NIS
           1.00 shall not be taken into account. The Board may pay cash or
           convey these certain assets to a trustee in favor of those people who
           are entitled to a dividend or to a capitalized fund, as the Board
           shall deem appropriate.

     53.11 The provisions of this chapter shall also apply to the distribution
           of Securities.

54.  ACQUISITION OF SHARES

     54.1 The Company is entitled to acquire or to finance an acquisition,
          directly or indirectly, of shares of the Company or securities
          convertible or exercisable into shares of the Company, including
          incurring an obligation to take any of these actions, subject to the
          fulfillment of the conditions of a permitted distribution under the
          Companies Law. In the event that the Company so acquired any of its
          shares, any such share shall become a dormant share, and shall not
          confer any rights, so long as it held by the Company.

     54.2 A subsidiary or another company controlled by the Company is entitled
          to acquire or finance an acquisition, directly or indirectly, of
          shares of the Company or securities convertible or exercisable into
          shares of the Company, or incur an obligation with respect thereto, to
          the same extent that the Company may make a distribution, subject to
          the terms of, and in accordance with the Companies Law. In the event a
          subsidiary or such controlled company so acquired any of the Company's
          shares, any such share shall not confer any voting rights, so long as
          it is held by such subsidiary or controlled company.

                procedure, and it later became clear that you are not entitled
                to compensation, for any reason, and a disagreement rises
                regarding your obligation to return the trial expenses or the
                amount to be returned, the disagreement will be transferred to
                an arbitrator to be agreed upon according to section 6.14. The
                company will bear the expense of the arbitrary, including lawyer

                not agree to compromise unless the compromise does not expose
                the company to other suits on part of the plaintiff and that the
                agreement will not be considered admission and/or recognizing of
                liability regarding the causes of the procedure. The company
                will bring to the knowledge of the employees the details of the
                agreement. In case there is disagreement between the company and
                employees, regarding if the agreement answers to the

                to compromise if the sum is more than the compensation you will
                be entitled to, unless you agree in advance in writing and if
                there is need for the agreement of the insurer- with the
                advanced agreement of the insurer.
