If an obligation is not liquidated or is unascertained, the Lenders may set-off in an amount estimated by it in good faith to be the amount of that obligation, provided that in case the actual amount owed by the Company turns out to be lower than the amount estimated by the Lenders, the Lenders shall return the difference to the Company. If obligations are in different currencies, the Lenders may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in their usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off. The Lenders shall not be obliged to exercise any right given to them under this Section 2.8. In the event that the foregoing set-off is made by the Lenders, any amounts set-off will be deemed to be payment as described in Section 2 above.

SCHEDULE OF EXCEPTIONS

Section 4(i): Subject to laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors.

Section 4(ii): (a) In connection with the Microscope loan (the outstanding amount of which is approximately US$1,500,000), the Company has (i) created a first-degree floating charge in favor of Bank Leumi le-Israel B.M. (the “Bank”), and (ii) signed a negative pledge in favor of the Bank. The Bank also has a pledge over a deposit in an amount of US$1,000,000. Such charges are reflected in the Financial Statements. In addition, the Company’s US subsidiary has provided the Bank with a guarantee with respect to the Company’s indebtedness to the Bank and the Bank has registered a fixed charge over the Microscope.

  (b) In connection with the January Loan, the Company has created (i) a first-degree floating charge in favor of Plenus Technologies Ltd. ("Plenus") and other lenders pari passu with the floating charge in favor of the Bank, (ii) a first degree fixed charge over the Company’s intellectual property in favor of Plenus and other lenders pari passu with the fixed charge in favor of the Bank. Upon the repayment of the January Loan and simultaneously with the registration of the charges pursuant to the Transaction Documents, the foregoing charges in favor of Plenus and the other lenders shall be released. The Company granted Plenus a warrant to purchase shares of the Company.

  (c) The Company extended the January Loan by three months (until October 2005) and granted Plenus an additional warrant to purchase shares of the Company.

  (d) On July 31, 2005 the Company granted its employee, Rami Sher, a loan in the amount of NIS 20,000.

  (e) The Company incorporated subsidiaries in Germany and Japan.

  (f) On September 13, 2005 the Company closed its Series BB Preferred Share financing (the “Financing”), by which US$23 million were invested in the share capital of the Company (US$14.4 million of which by way of conversion of convertible loans previously extended to the Company by its existing shareholders and affiliates thereof). An additional amount of US$3 million was used to purchase shares from the Company’s founding shareholders, Gadi Neumann and David Alumot (the “Founders”). In the framework of the Financing, the share capital of the Company was recapitalized, whereby all classes of Preferred Shares were converted into one class: Preferred AA Shares. Amendments were signed to the Transition Agreement between the Company and the Founders and to the Shareholders Rights Agreement. In addition, the Company adopted new Articles of Association (the “New Articles”) that replaced the existing Articles (“Former Articles”). A deferred investment of up to US$7 million may be held within 90 days from the closing of the Financing.

- 3 -



Section 4 (iv): (a) Pursuant to the Company’s Former Articles, the holders of Preferred Shares of the Company (and pursuant to the New Articles only such holders of Preferred Shares holding at least 2% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, on an as converted basis) and each of the Founders are entitled to participate (subject to certain exceptions) in any issuance of securities of the Company. All holders of Preferred Shares of the Company and the Founders have waived any pre-emptive rights they may have in connection with the Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof. In addition, warrants issued to Plenus in connection with the Term Sheet signed by Plenus and the Company on September 12, 2005, were made an exception to the definition of “Additional Securities” for the purpose of pre-emptive rights and anti-dilution rights under the New Articles.

  (b) The issuance of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares, if any, are subject to the approval of the Investment Center at the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Employment. The Company received the Investment Center’s approval in principle on September 25, 2005.

Section 4 (v): (a) Please see Section 4 (ii) above.

  (b) The realization of the fixed charge as described in the Fixed Charge Agreement is subject to the terms of the Research Law.

  (c) SUBJECT TO ARRANGMENT WITH BANK LEUMI

Section 4 (vi): (a) In July, August and October 2004, the Company received letters from KLA–Tencor asserting that its 302 inspection system makes use of three KLA patents and requesting technical information regarding the 302 system. In response to these letters, the Company has identified certain limitations of the KLA patents that are absent from the 302 system. The Company also requested further clarification of KLA’s claims. The Company disputes KLA’s claims and is attempting to resolve these issues without resorting to litigation, although these assertions by KLA-Tencor could lead to patent litigation.

- 4 -



  (b) On August 27, 2004, Applied Materials, Inc. filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that the Company’s 302 inspection system infringes an Applied Materials’ patent (U.S. Patent No. 5,982,921) and seeking an injunction and unspecified damages. On October 12, 2004, the Company filed an amended answer to Applied Materials’ complaint and also filed counterclaims for declaratory judgment of non-infringement and invalidity. The Company disputes Applied Materials’ claims and further believes that some or all of the claims of the ‘921 patent are invalid.

On April 15, 2005, Applied Materials filed a motion for summary judgment that the Company is barred from challenging the validity of the ‘921 patent under the legal doctrine of assignor estoppel. On July 14, 2005, the Court granted Applied Materials’ motion. The Company, therefore, is barred from challenging the validity of the ‘921 patent in the California litigation. The Company is not barred, however, from seeking reexamination of the ‘921 patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”).

On June 3, 2005, the Company filed with the PTO a request for reexamination of the ‘921 patent seeking reexamination of certain claims of the ‘921 patent. On June 10, 2005, Applied Materials asserted against the Company additional claims of the ‘921 patent that were not specifically addressed in the Company’s request for reexamination. On August 22, 2005, the Company filed with the PTO a second request for reexamination addressing the additional asserted claims. On August 25, 2005, the PTO granted the Company’s first request for reexamination, finding a “substantial new question of patentability” regarding seven of the asserted claims in the ‘921 patent. On Sept. 2, 2005, the Court stayed the California litigation on the ‘921 patent pending the PTO’s decision on the Company’s second request for reexamination, which addresses the four asserted claims that were not specifically addressed by the Company’s first request.

  On September 1, 2005, Applied Materials indicated its intention to assert an additional patent against the Company. Applied Materials has not identified that patent. Applied Materials’ motion to amend its complaint to add another patent is scheduled to be heard by the Court on October 25, 2005.

Section 4 (vii): (a) Please see Section 4 (ii) above.

  (b) The Company has received and may in the future receive participations through the OCS. According to the provisions of the Law for the Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development, 5744-1984 and of Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Research Law”) and their applicability to the Company, the following shall apply:

  Divisionals of USSN 10/345,097.

  (d) The IP required by the Company to conduct its business includes readily and commercially available off-the-shelf software. This software is owned by third parties and would require the payment of fees or royalties.

  (e) On January 2, 2000 TICI Software Products Ltd. (“TICI”) and the Company entered into a Non-Disclosure and Non-Use Agreement (the “TICI NDA”). Under the Cooperation Agreement the Company entered into with TICI on February 15, 2000 (the “TICI Cooperation Agreement”), it was agreed that TICI would not be precluded from working for and with any other entity in the semi conductor industry, so long as the TICI NDA is not breached.

- 13 -



  the holders of the Series BB Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of all other equity securities of the Company by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per Series BB Preferred Share equal to: (i) the applicable Original Issue Price for each Series BB Preferred Share, plus (ii) an amount equal to declared but unpaid dividends on each such Series BB Preferred Share , plus (iii) an amount equal to 8% return per annum, compounded annually, on the applicable Original Issue Price, for each BB Preferred Share to be calculated from the date of payment to the Company on account of such Series BB Preferred Share until such distribution, less (iv) any amount of dividend preference paid on account of such Series BB Preferred Share until such distribution (the “BB Preference Amount”). In the event that the Distribution Assets are not sufficient for distribution to the holders of the Series BB Preferred Shares pursuant to this subarticle (b), such Distribution Assets as are available for distribution, shall be distributed among the holders of the Series BB Preferred Shares pro-rata in proportion to the preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.

  Following the payment in full of the BB Preference Amount, the holders of the Series AA Preferred Shares and the holders of Ordinary-Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of all other equity securities of the Company by reason of their ownership thereof, an aggregate amount equal to the sum of: (i) the Original Issue Price for each Series AA Preferred Share, plus (ii) an amount equal to declared but unpaid dividends on each such Series AA Preferred Share, plus (iii) an amount equal to 8% return per annum, compounded annually, on the Original Issue Price for each outstanding Series AA Preferred Share to be calculated from the later of the date of payment to the Company on account of such Series AA Preferred Share or May 23, 2002 and until such distribution, less (iv) any amount of dividend preference paid on account of such Series AA Preferred Share and each Ordinary-Preferred Share until such distribution (the “Secondary Preference Amount”), such aggregate amount to be distributed among the holders of Series AA Preferred Shares and the holders of Ordinary-Preferred Shares such that: (x) holders of Series AA Preferred Shares shall receive out of the Secondary Preference Amount an amount equal to the Secondary Preference Amount multiplied by a fraction (the “Multiplier”) the numerator of which is the total number of the then outstanding Series AA Preferred Shares (for the avoidance of doubt, not on an as converted basis) and the denominator of which is such total number of then outstanding Series AA Preferred Shares plus 1.2764 times the total number of the then outstanding Ordinary-Preferred Shares (for the avoidance of doubt, not on an as converted basis) (“AA Secondary Preference Amount”), to be allocated among the holders of Series AA Preferred Shares pro rata, such that for each Series AA Preferred Share held by a holder of Series AA Preferred Shares such holder shall be entitled to an amount  equal to the product of the Multiplier multiplied by the sum of: (i) the Original Issue Price for such Series AA Preferred Share, plus (ii) an amount equal to declared but unpaid dividends on such Series AA Preferred Share, plus (iii) an amount equal to 8% return per annum, compounded annually, on the Original Issue Price for such Series AA Preferred Share to be calculated from the later of the date of payment to the Company on account of such Series AA Preferred Share or May 23, 2002 and until such distribution, less (iv) any amount of dividend preference paid on account of such Series AA Preferred Share until such distribution, and (y) the holders of Ordinary Preferred Shares shall receive out of the Secondary Preference Amount an amount equal to the Secondary Preference Amount minus the AA Secondary Preference Amount, to be allocated among the holders of Ordinary Preferred Shares pro-rata based on the number of Ordinary-Preferred Shares held by them.

- 14 -



  In the event that, following the payment in full of the BB Preference Amount, the remaining Distribution Assets are not sufficient for a full payment of the Secondary Preference Amount pursuant to this subarticle (c), then such remaining Distribution Assets shall be distributed among the holders of Series AA Preferred Shares and the holders of Ordinary-Preferred Shares in proportion to the amount they would have been entitled to receive had the Secondary Preference Amount been paid in full.

  Thereafter, the holders of the Preferred Shares, the holders of the Ordinary-Preferred Shares and the holders of the Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to receive any remaining Distribution Assets available for distribution pro rata based on the number of Ordinary Shares (on an as converted basis) held by any such holder.

  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if distribution of the Distribution Assets among all shareholders of the Company, pro-rata to the number of shares they hold on an as converted basis, will result in the holders of Series BB-1 Preferred Shares receiving in respect of each Series BB-1 Preferred Share they hold an amount of at least three (3) times the Original Issue Price of the Series BB-1 Preferred Shares, then the provisions of subarticles (b)-(d) above shall not apply and the Distribution Assets shall be distributed among all shareholders of the Company, pro-rata to the number of share they hold, on an as converted basis.

  In the event of a Merger or an Acquisition in which the shareholders (and not the Company) are the intended recipients of the proceeds resulting therefrom (such as with a sale of shares transaction), no transfer of securities in accordance thereto will be considered valid, unless the provisions of the distribution preferences under this Article 8 shall apply.

  Whenever the Distribution Assets are in securities or property other than cash, the value of such assets shall be the fair market value of such securities or other property as shall be determined by the Board, or by the liquidator in case of winding up. Such proceeds shall be made payable in US dollars unless any holder of fully paid share elects to receive such distributions in NIS. The NIS equivalent of the dollar value of any distribution shall be determined in accordance with the Representative Rate last published by the Bank of Israel prior to the date of the making of the distribution.

- 15 -



(x) CONVERSION OF PREFERRED SHARES

  The holders of the Preferred Shares shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

  a. Right to Convert.

  (1) Subject to Article 9(c), each fully paid Preferred Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such Preferred Share at the Office or any transfer agent for the Preferred Shares, into one fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Share nominal value NIS 0.01 and the Company shall, at such time, issue to the holders thereof, for no additional charge (a portion of the premium paid for such Preferred Shares being attributed as payment on account of the nominal value of such additional Ordinary Shares – in the event that the then applicable law requires that shares are issued for no less than their nominal value and to the extent no other source available pursuant to the provisions of the then applicable law may be used for such purpose), such number of fully-paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares as required so that the total number of Ordinary Shares so issued (i.e. including the Ordinary Share into which the Preferred Share was converted) will be equal to the number determined by dividing the Original Issue Price applicable to such Preferred Share by the Conversion Price (as defined below) at the time in effect for such share. In the event that the then applicable law requires that shares are issued for not less than their nominal value, and the aggregate nominal value of all such Ordinary Shares shall exceed the consideration paid to the Company with respect to such Preferred Share, the holder thereof shall pay the Company such excess nominal value to the extent no other source available pursuant to the provisions of the then applicable law (such as premiums paid for other shares of the Company) may be used for such purpose. The initial Conversion Price per share for the Series BB-1 Preferred Shares and Series AA Preferred Shares shall be the Original Issue Price of the Series BB-1 Preferred Shares and the initial Conversion Price for the Series BB-2 Preferred Shares shall be the Original Issue Price of the Series BB-2 Preferred Shares, provided, however, that the Conversion Price for the Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in subarticles 9(c), 9(d) and 9(e).

  (2) Each Preferred Share shall automatically be converted into Ordinary Shares at the Conversion Price at the time in effect for such Preferred Share upon the earlier of: (A) a Qualified IPO, or (B) the written consent of the Majority Preferred Shareholders. The Series AA Preferred Shares shall also automatically be converted into Ordinary Shares as aforesaid upon the consent of the holders of at least sixty six percent (66%) of the issued and then outstanding Series AA Preferred Shares.

- 16 -



  (b) Mechanics of Conversion.

  (1) Before any holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to convert the same into Ordinary Shares such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor at the Office and shall give written notice to the Company of the election to convert the same (or any part thereof) and shall state therein the name or names of any nominee for such holder in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Ordinary Shares are to be issued. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter unless such notice states that conversion is to be effective on any later date or when any conditions specified in the notice have been fulfilled in which case conversion shall take effect on such other date or when such conditions have been fulfilled, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Shares, or subject to the transfer restrictions contained in these Articles to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Ordinary Shares to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Shares to be converted, or on any later date or when any conditions specified in the notice have been fulfilled and the person or persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Ordinary Shares as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with a QIPO, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Shares for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriter of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion of the Preferred Shares shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Shares until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities. In the event that the certificate(s) representing the Preferred Shares to be converted as aforesaid are not delivered to the Company, then the Company shall not be obligated to issue any certificate(s) representing the Ordinary Shares issued upon such conversion, unless the holder of such Preferred Shares notifies the Company in writing that such certificate(s) have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates.

  (2) A conversion of Preferred Shares pursuant to one of the events described in Article 9(a)(2) shall be deemed to have taken place automatically regardless of whether the certificates representing such shares have been tendered to the Company but from and after such conversion any such certificates not tendered to the Company shall be deemed to evidence solely the Ordinary Shares received upon such conversion and the right to receive a certificate for such Ordinary Shares.

  (c) Conversion Price Adjustments of Preferred Shares

  Until the QIPO, the applicable Conversion Price of the Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

  (1) During the period commencing on the Closing and ending on the earlier of (x) the QIPO or (y) 24 months following the Closing (the “Initial Period”), upon each issuance by the Company of any “Additional Securities” (as defined below) without consideration or for a price per share less than the applicable Conversion Price for any issued and outstanding Series BB Preferred Shares in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Securities, the applicable Conversion Price for any such issued and outstanding Series BB Preferred Share in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall be adjusted to the price per share paid at such issuance.

- 17 -



  (2) With respect to the Series BB Preferred Shares during the period after the Initial Period and until the QIPO and with respect to the Series AA Preferred Shares during the Initial Period and thereafter until the QIPO, upon each issuance by the Company of any “Additional Securities” (as defined below), without consideration or for a price per share less than the applicable Conversion Price for any issued and outstanding applicable series of Preferred Shares in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Securities, the applicable Conversion Price for any such issued and outstanding series of Preferred Shares in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall be adjusted to a price (calculated to the nearest ten thousandth of a US Dollar ($0.0001)) determined by dividing (1) the sum of (A) the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding prior to the issuance of such Additional Securities multiplied by the applicable Conversion Price of such series, as the case may be, in effect prior to the issuance of such Additional Securities, plus (B) the total amount of the consideration received by the Company for such Additional Securities by (2) the sum of the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Securities plus the number of such Additional Securities issued. For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of shares of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be calculated on an as converted and fully diluted basis, as if all outstanding warrants, options or other rights for the purchase of shares or convertible securities had been fully exercised (and the resulting securities fully converted into Ordinary Shares, if so convertible) as of such date.

  (3) In the event that the full application of the anti dilution protection in subarticles 9(c)(1) and 9(c)(2) cannot be implemented mathematically, then the Series BB Preferred Shares shall have absolute priority over the Series AA Preferred Shares in implementation of the above, such that only the Series BB Preferred Shares shall be provided with the anti-dilution protection.

  (4) (A)     No adjustments of any applicable Conversion Price shall be made in an amount less than ten thousandth of a US Dollar ($0.0001). No adjustment of any applicable Conversion Price pursuant to subarticles 9(c)(1) and (2) shall be made if it has the effect of increasing the applicable Conversion Price above the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

- 18 -



  (B)     In the case of the issuance of Additional Securities (as defined below) for cash, the consideration, for the purpose of subarticles 9(c)(1) and (2), shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received therefore before any payment of commissions, expenses and the like.

  (C)     In the case of the issuance of Additional Securities (defined below) for a consideration, in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall, for the purpose of subarticles 9(c)(1) and (2), be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined, in good faith, by the Board of Directors.

  (D)     In the case of the issuance of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Ordinary Shares, or securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the aggregate maximum number of Ordinary Shares deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercise, including without limitation, the passing of time, but without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Ordinary Shares or upon conversion or an exchange of such convertible or exchangeable security shall be deemed to have been issued at the time of the issuance of such options, rights, or securities at a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in subarticle 9(c)(4)(B) and (c)(4)(C)), if any, received by the Company upon the issuance of such options or rights or securities plus any additional consideration payable to the Company pursuant to the term of such options or rights or securities (without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for the Ordinary Shares covered thereby, and the applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted accordingly. Upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Shares to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities or options or rights related to such securities (unless such options or rights were merely to be included in the numerator and denominator for purposes of determining the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding for purposes of Article 9(c)(2)) shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number Ordinary Shares (and convertible or exchangeable securities that remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, or upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities. The number of Ordinary Shares deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in this Article 9(c)(4)(D).

- 19 -



  (E)     For purpose of subarticles 9(c)(1) and (2) hereof, the consideration for any Additional Securities shall be taken into account at the U.S. dollar equivalent thereof, on the day such Additional Securities are issued or deemed to be issued pursuant to subarticle 9(c)(4)(D).

  (5) “Additional Securities” shall mean any Ordinary Shares, options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Ordinary Shares, or securities which by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares, or any securities convertible into or exercisable for any securities of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Additional Securities” does not include:

  (A) Securities issued pursuant to a transaction described in subarticle 9(c)(6) hereof;

  (B) The issuance, pursuant to the approval of the Board, of Ordinary Shares or Options to purchase Ordinary Shares to employees, directors and bona-fide consultants; and

  (C) Securities issued pursuant to options, warrants or other rights outstanding on the Closing, provided that such options, warrants or other rights are reflected in the Capitalization Table attached as Schedule 2.2 to the Poalim Agreement, as well as any warrants to be granted to Plenus Technologies Ltd. in accordance with the ‘Venture Lending Term Sheet’ attached to the Poalim Agreement; and

  (D) Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of Preferred Shares or Ordinary-Preferred Shares; and

  (E) Issuance of bonus shares, providing such bonus shares are issued to all the then existing shareholders, or shares issued pursuant to a rights offering in which all such shares are offered exclusively to existing shareholders; and

  (F) Shares issued in the acquisition of another company provided that the issuance of such shares is approved by the Board of Directors; and

  (G) Shares issued in connection with equipment leases, bank loans or secured debt financings approved by the Board of Directors provided the number of such shares issued shall not exceed 1% of the then issued and outstanding share capital of the Company on a fully diluted, as converted basis; and

  (H) Securities issued or issuable following written approval of Majority Preferred Shareholders in which they agree to waive their anti-dilution or pre-emptive rights (as the case may be) with respect to such specific issuance.

- 20 -



  (I) The issuance of Series BB-1 Preferred Shares in a Deffered Investment in accordance with the terms of Section 1.5 of the Poalim Agreement.

  (6) If the Company shall subdivide or combine its Ordinary Shares, the applicable Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced, in case of subdivision of shares, as at the effective date of such subdivision, or if the Company shall fix a record date for the purpose of so subdividing, as at such record date, whichever is earlier, or shall be proportionately increased, in the case of combination of shares, as at the effective date of such combination, or, if the Company shall fix a record date for the purpose of so combining, as at such record date, whichever is earlier.

  (7) Subject to the liquidation preference of the Preferred Shares as set forth in Article 8 above, if the Company at any time shall make a distribution of its assets to the holders of its Ordinary Shares as a dividend in liquidation or partial liquidation or by way of return of capital or other than as a dividend payable out of earnings or surplus legally available for dividends, each holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive without payment of any additional consideration, a sum equal to the amount of such assets as would have been payable to such holder as owner of that number of Ordinary Shares receivable by exercise of the conversion rights had such holder been the holder of record of such Ordinary Shares on the record date for such distribution; and an appropriate provision therefor shall be made a part of any such distribution.

  (d) Other Distributions

  Subject to the liquidation preference of the Preferred Shares as set forth in Article 8 above, in the event the Company shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in subarticle 9(c)(5) or if the Company at any time shall pay a dividend payable in additional Ordinary Shares or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional Ordinary Shares then, in each such case for the purpose of this subarticle 9(d), the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive such distribution, in respect of their holdings on an as-converted basis as of the record date for such distribution.

  (e) Recapitalizations

  If at any time or from time to time there shall be a Recapitalization Event (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Article 9 or Article 8) provisions shall be made so that the holders of the Preferred Shares shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the number of Ordinary Shares or other securities or property of the Company or otherwise, to which a holder of Ordinary Shares deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled immediately prior to such Recapitalization Event. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 9 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Shares after such Recapitalization Event to the end that the provisions of this Article (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares) shall be applicable after that event in a manner as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

- 21 -



  (f) No Impairment

  The Company will not, by amendment of these Articles or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consideration, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of the Conversion Rights of the holders of Preferred Shares, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 9 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Preferred Shares against impairment.

  (g) No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments

  (1) No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, and the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of Preferred Shares held by the holder and the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

  (2) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of any applicable Conversion Price pursuant to this Article 9, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Preferred Shares a certificate setting forth each adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the applicable Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (C) the number of Ordinary Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a Preferred Share.

  (h) Notices of Record Date

  In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (including a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Company shall provide to each holder of Preferred Shares, at least 20 days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

- 22 -



  (i) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion

  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Ordinary Shares solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares such number of its Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Preferred Shares, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Preferred Shares, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

(xi) CONVERSION OF ORDINARY-PREFERRED SHARES

  (a) Immediately following the Closing, each Ordinary-Preferred Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into one fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Share nominal value NIS 0.01 (the “Converted Ordinary-Preferred Share”) and upon such conversion the Company shall issue to the holders thereof, for no additional charge (in the event that the then applicable law requires that shares are issued for not less than their nominal value, and the aggregate nominal value of all such Ordinary Shares shall exceed the consideration paid to the Company with respect to such Ordinary – Preferred Share, the holder thereof shall pay the Company such excess nominal value to the extent no other source available pursuant to the provisions of the then applicable law (such as premiums paid for other shares of the Company) may be used for such purpose) such number of additional fully-paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares as required so that the total number of Ordinary Shares so issued (i.e. including the Ordinary Share into which the Ordinary – Preferred Share was converted) will be equal to the number determined by multiplying the Converted Ordinary-Preferred Share by 1.552794 (subject, however, to Article 9 (g)(i) above). Accordingly, the total number of Ordinary Shares into which the Ordinary-Preferred Shares may be converted (immediately following the Closing and the sale of the Founders’ shares pursuant to the Share Transfer Agreement) shall be 2,436,340.

  (b) The Ordinary-Preferred Shares shall be automatically converted into Ordinary Shares as aforesaid in the event of an automatic conversion of the Series AA Preferred Shares of the Company pursuant to Article 9(a)(2) above. The conversion of the Ordinary-Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares upon the automatic conversion of the Series AA Preferred Shares shall not require the consent of the holders of Ordinary-Preferred Shares. The Ordinary-Preferred Shares shall also automatically be converted into Ordinary Shares as aforesaid upon the consent of the holders of at least sixty six percent (66%) of the issued and then outstanding Ordinary-Preferred Shares.

  (d) The applicable provisions of Article 9 (b) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to conversions pursuant to sub-paragraphs (a) – (b) of this Article 10.

  (e) The provisions of subparagraphs (c)(6) and (7), (d) to (i) of Article 9 above shall apply with respect to the Ordinary-Preferred Shares, mutatis mutandis.

The number of Offered Securities offered to each Offeree shall be the result of the multiplication of the Offered Securities by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company (on an as-converted basis) held by such Offeree as determined prior to the offer made pursuant to this Article 14, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company (on an as-converted basis), as determined prior to the offer made pursuant to this Article 14.

- 27 -



15. REGISTERED HOLDER

  b. If two or more persons are registered as joint holders of a share they shall be jointly and severally liable for any calls or any other liability with respect to such share. However, with respect to voting, power of attorney and furnishing notices, the one registered first in the register of shareholders, insofar as all the registered joint holders shall not notify the Company in writing to relate to another one of them as the sole owner of the share, as aforesaid, shall be deemed to be the sole owner of the share.

  (o) In the case that two or more persons are registered together as holders of a share, each one of them shall be permitted to give receipts binding all the joint holders for dividends or other monies in connection with the share and the Company shall be permitted to pay all the dividends or other monies due with respect to the share to one or more of the joint holders, as it shall choose.

  (p) 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, accordingly, shall not, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, or as required by statute, be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such share, on the part of any other person.

16. SHARE CERTIFICATE

  c. A shareholder shall be entitled to receive from the Company without payment, one certificate that shall contain that number of shares registered in the name of such shareholder, their class and serial numbering. However, in the event of joint holders holding a share, the Company shall not be obligated to issue more than one certificate to all of the joint holders, and the delivery of such a certificate to one of the joint holders shall be deemed to be a delivery to all of the joint holders.

  (q) Each certificate shall carry the signature or signatures of a director or such other persons appointed by the Board of Directors for this purpose and the rubber stamp or the seal of the Company.

  (r) If a share certificate is defaced, lost or destroyed, it may be replaced upon payment of such fee, if any, and on such terms, if any, as to evidence and indemnity as the Board of Directors may think fit.

- 28 -



  It is hereby clarified that any resolution required to be adopted pursuant to these Articles by the consent of a separate class of shares, whether by way of a separate general meeting of such class or by way of written consent, shall be given by the holders of shares of such class entitled to vote or give consent thereon and no holder of shares of a certain class shall be banned from voting or consenting by virtue of being a holder of more than one class of shares of the Company, irrespective of any conflicting interests that may exist between such different classes of shares. A shareholder shall not be required to refrain from participating in the discussion, voting and/or consenting on any resolution concerning an amendment to any class of shares held by such shareholder, due to the fact that such shareholder may benefit in one way or another from the outcome of such resolution.

  Without derogating from the need to receive any consents or approvals required pursuant to Article 12, it is hereby clarified and agreed that the enlargement of an existing class of shares, or the issuance or allotment of additional shares thereof, or the creation of additional shares of that class as a result of conversion of shares from another class or unification with another class, shall not be deemed, for purposes of these Articles, to amend, change, vary, modify or abrogate the rights attached to the previously issued shares of such class or of any other class.

PLEDGE

18. The Company shall have a lien and first pledge on all the shares, not fully paid, registered in the name of any shareholder (whether registered in his name only or together with another or others) and on the proceeds from the sale thereof, for any amount still outstanding with respect to that share, whether presently payable or not. Such a pledge shall exist whether the dates of payment or fulfillment or execution of the obligations, debts or commitments have become due or not, and shall apply to all dividends that shall be decided upon from time to time in connection with these shares. No benefit shall be created with respect to this share based upon the rules of equity which shall frustrate this pledge, however the Board may declare at any time with respect to any share, that it is released, wholly or in part, temporarily or permanently, from the provisions of this article.

19. The Company may sell, in such manner and at such time as the Board thinks fit, any of the pledged shares, but no sale shall be made unless the date of payment of the monies or a part thereof has arrived, or the date of fulfillment and performance of the obligations and commitments in consideration of which the pledge exists has arrived, and after a written request has been furnished to the shareholder or person who has acquired a right in the shares, which sets out the amount or obligation or commitment due from him and which demands their payment, fulfillment or execution, and which informs the person of the Board’s desire to sell the shares in the event of non-fulfillment of the notice, and the person has not fulfilled his obligation pursuant to the notice within seven days after the notice has been sent to him.

- 29 -



20. The net proceeds of such sale after payment of the costs thereof, shall be applied in payment of such sum due to the Company or to the fulfillment of the obligation or commitment (including debts, liabilities and engagements which have not yet fallen due for payment or satisfaction), and the remainder (if there shall be any) shall be paid to the shareholder or to the person who has acquired a right in the share sold pursuant to the above.

21. After execution of a sale as aforesaid, the Board shall be permitted to sign or to appoint someone to sign a deed of transfer of the sold shares and to register the buyer’s name in the register of shareholders as the owner of the sold shares and it shall not be the obligation of the buyer to supervise the application of monies nor will his right in the shares be affected by a defect or illegality in the sale proceedings after his name has been registered in the register of shareholders with respect to those shares. The sole remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale shall be in damages only and against the Company exclusively.

TRANSFER OF SHARES AND THE MANAGEMENT THEREOF

22. Each transfer of shares shall be made in writing in the form appearing herein below, or in a similar form, or in any form as to be determined upon by the Board from time to time, such form shall be delivered to the Office together with the transferred share certificates and any other proof the Board shall require, if it shall so require, in order to prove the title of the transferor. The instruments and documents notifying the Company with respect to the transfer are a prerequisite to the effectuation of such transfer. Notwithstanding the above, any transfer of shares to any person or entity that is not at the time of transfer a shareholder of the Company and that competes with the Company, directly or indirectly, in the field of optical inspection or metrology for semiconductors or the transfer of shares which have not been fully paid up will require the consent and approval of the Board of Directors, except if such transfer is to a Permitted Transferee.

Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation of a shareholder shall, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Board, have the right, either to be registered as a shareholder in respect of the share upon the consent of the Board or, instead of being registered himself, to transfer such share to another person, subject to the provisions contained in these Articles with respect to transfers.

28.

  (x) If by the end of the time referred to in Articles 29(e) and 29(f) above no Purchase Notices have been received by the Transferor or the Transferor has received Purchase Notices with respect to a total number of shares that is less than the number of Offered Shares, the Transferor may, within 30 days from the expiration of the time for submission of the Purchase Notices or, in the event that Article 29(f) applies, the Excess Reply Notice, sell all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares to the Transferee and/or to any Buyer that submitted a Purchase Notice and, if applicable, an Excess Notice, up to the number of shares requested to be purchased by such Buyer (though he shall be under no obligation to do so) at a price not less than the price mentioned in the Sale Notice (as linked to the representative rate of the U.S. dollar from the day of the furnishing of the notice to the date of sale in fact) and upon all other conditions not less favorable to the Transferor than those provided for in the Sales Notice.

29A CO SALE

  Should any holder of Preferred Shares (other than Intel) or holder of Ordinary-Preferred Shares (“Selling Shareholder”) wish to make a Transfer, other than to a Permitted Transferee, then each of the holders of Preferred Shares and Ordinary-Preferred Shares other than Intel (the “Entitled Shareholders”) shall have the right to participate in the Selling Shareholder’s Transfer of such Offered Shares, in accordance with this Article 29A, pursuant to the specified terms and conditions stated in the Sales Notice, provided that an Entitled Shareholder who is also an Offeree for purposes of Article 29 above shall be entitled to elect whether to exercise its rights under either Article 29 or Article 29A and shall not be entitled to contingently exercise its rights under both such articles. Each of the Entitled Shareholders shall be entitled, upon written notice to the Selling Shareholder within twenty-one (21) Business Days after receipt of the Sales Notice (“Participating Preferred Shareholders”), to sell to the Transferee up to that number of the Shares in the Company owned by such Participating Preferred Shareholder (the “Equity Shares”) determined by multiplying the total number of Offered Shares times a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares owned by such Participating Preferred Shareholders (on an as-converted basis) and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares owned by all Participating Preferred Shareholders (on an as-converted basis) and the Selling Shareholder. Such written notice shall indicate, subject to the terms of this Article 29A, the number of Shares that the Participating Preferred Shareholder intends to transfer to the Transferee. At the closing of the sale of the Offered Shares to the Transferee, the Selling Shareholder shall transfer his shares to the Transferee only if the Transferee concurrently therewith purchases, on the same terms and conditions specified in the Article 29A Notice, all of the Shares as to which participation notices have been delivered.

29B BRING ALONG

  (a) At any time prior to the Company’s QIPO, in the event that:

  Shareholders holding 60% (sixty percent) or more (the “Threshold Percent”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares, on an as converted basis (the “Proposing Shareholders”) accept an offer to affect a Merger or Acquisition (the “Offer”); and

  Such Merger or Acquisition is conditioned upon the consent and/or sale of all of the remaining issued shares of the Company; then all remaining shareholders (the “Non Proposing Shareholders”) will be required, if so demanded by the Proposing Shareholders, to vote in favor of, execute the relevant documents, and otherwise take all necessary and reasonable actions relating to such Offer, including to sell their shares upon the same terms and conditions as in the Offer made to the Proposing Shareholders and the proceeds shall be allocated in accordance with the provisions of Article 8, provided however, that absent the written consent of the holders of the majority of the outstanding Series BB Preferred Shares (which must include also the Special BB Consent), the holders of the Preferred Shares shall not be forced to take any actions or sell their shares as aforesaid, if the Merger or the Acquisition does not reflect a Company price per share of more than two times the Original Issue Price of the Series BB-1 Preferred Shares. In the event that the Threshold Percent is met, any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, mortgage, disposal or encumbrance of the Shares by the Non Proposing Shareholders other than in connection with the Offer, shall be absolutely prohibited.

- 34 -



  (b) Any sale, transfer or exchange of the shares or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company pursuant to Article 29B(a) above which gives rise to a tax liability of either of the Founders (any such transaction, a “Taxable Transaction”) will be dealt with in one (1) of the following two (2) ways:

  (1) if the Taxable Transaction is a bona fide transaction with a third party unrelated to the Company or any of its directors or shareholders, the Taxable Transaction shall be contingent, unless otherwise agreed by the Founders, upon the Taxable Transaction’s including the receipt by each of the Founders of (A) cash or liquid assets reasonably acceptable to the Founders, in either case not subject to transfer prohibition and in an amount sufficient to pay each Founder’s tax liability, if any, in connection with the Taxable Transaction or (B) a loan as described in Article 29B(b)(2) below; or

  (2) in any other event, such transaction shall be contingent, unless otherwise agreed by the Founders, upon the Taxable Transaction’s providing for a loan to each of the Founders in an amount sufficient to pay his tax liability, if any, in connection with the Taxable Transaction, such loan to be linked to the U.S. Dollar but without interest and repayable upon the sale of each Founder of the shares or other non-cash consideration received by him in the Taxable Transaction, and to be non-recourse other than in respect of such shares or other non-cash consideration received by the Founders in the Taxable Transaction.

  (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of Intel to sell its shares (the “Transaction”) pursuant to this Article 29B shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

  (i) Form of Consideration. Intel shall not be required to accept any consideration for its shares other than cash or freely tradeable equity securities (subject to a lock-up period of no more than 90 days following the issuance of such securities to Intel) which have been admitted to or listed upon (i) the Official List of the UK Listing Authority or (ii) the New York or American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market in the United States of America or (iii) the Neuer Markt or (iv) Euronext Paris S.A. or (v) such other stock exchange as Intel may agree.

  (ii) Equal Consideration. Subject to section (iii) below, upon the consummation of the Transaction, all of the holders of Preferred Shares will receive the same form and amount of consideration per Preferred Share, respectively, taking into account any liquidation preference to which the holders of Preferred Shares are entitled, and if any holders of Preferred Shares are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, all holders will be given the same option.

- 35 -



  (iii) Costs/Expenses. Intel shall not be required to incur any costs or expenses (without limitation whether by way of out of pocket expenses or by way of set off) in connection with the Transaction except its pro rata share of any costs incurred for the benefit of all of the Company’s shareholders and for which Intel has agreed in writing to be responsible in advance of such costs being incurred. For the avoidance of doubt Intel shall be solely responsible for any costs that it decides to incur including the costs of its own counsel.

  (iv) Representations, Warranties and Indemnities. The only representations, warranties or indemnities that Intel shall be required to make in connection with the Transaction are representations, warranties and indemnities concerning (i) legal ownership of the Company’s securities to be sold by Intel (the “Intel Securities”), and (ii) the corporate authority of Intel to convey title to the Intel Securities, and the ability to do so free and clear of liens, encumbrances or adverse claims (the “Intel Required Obligations”). The Intel Required Obligations shall be in the same form as those to be given by each of the other shareholders of the Company and shall be given by Intel on a several (but not joint) basis only.

  (v) Liability. Intel shall not accept, assume or be deemed to have assumed any joint, or joint and several, liability with any other shareholder(s), the Company or any other party, with respect to any representation, warranty, indemnity, covenant or combination thereof made by such other shareholder(s), the Company or other party in connection with the Transaction. Intel’s liability shall in any event be limited to the amount of consideration actually received by Intel in cleared funds.

  (vi) Escrow and Liability upon Escrow. In the event that consideration for any of the shares in the Company is to be placed in escrow (the “Escrow Amount”), such Escrow Amount will not exceed 15% of the total consideration payable to all shareholders of the Company and that the Escrow Amount, to the extent that no claim has been made against it and for such amount as might remain following such claim, will be released to the shareholders at the latest three (3) months following the end of the acquiring company’s first accounting period after the consummation of the transfer of Intel’s shares or eighteen (18) months after the consummation of such transfer (the later of the two). Intel’s liability shall be limited to its pro rata share of the Escrow Amount (Intel’s pro rata share to be calculated on the basis of the consideration due to Intel as a proportion of the aggregate consideration due to all shareholders in the Company). For the avoidance of doubt, the Escrow Amount may be used to satisfy claims arising out of breaches by the Company of representations and warranties given by the Company in connection with a Transaction, all subject to the foregoing terms and conditions.

- 36 -



  (vii) US Securities. If the consideration proposed for Intel’s shares is in the form of securities of an issuer incorporated in the United States, Intel shall not be obligated to participate in the Transaction unless it is provided an opinion of counsel to the effect that the sale in connection with such Transaction is not in violation of the registration or qualification requirements of federal or applicable state securities laws in the United States, or, if Intel is not provided with such an opinion, the Company shall indemnify Intel for any violation. (vii) Other Agreements. Intel shall not be required to amend, extend or terminate any contractual or other relationship with the Company, the acquirer or their respective affiliates.

Any of the transactions set forth in the forgoing sentence not so approved shall be null and void and shall not be registered in the Company’s Shareholders Register. For purpose hereof a “Strategic Investor” shall mean a corporation or other business entity whose business is related to the Company’s business and who is likely to have a business or technologic interest in the Company’s business, as distinguished from an interest for the sole purpose of a financial investment.

CALLS

30. A shareholder shall not be entitled to receive dividends nor to use any right a shareholder has, or receive any benefit or entitlement stated in these Articles (including without limitation, the rights set forth in Articles 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 29, 29A, 65 and 86 hereof), unless he has paid all the calls that shall be made from time to time prior to or on the date appointed for payment thereof, with respect of money unpaid on all of his shares, whether he is the sole holder or holds the shares together with another person, in addition to interest and expenses if there shall be any.

31. The Board may, subject to the provisions of these Articles, make calls upon the shareholders from time to time in respect of any moneys unpaid on their shares, as they shall determine proper, upon the condition that there shall be given prior notice of fourteen (14) days on every call and each shareholder shall be obligated to pay the total amount requested from him, or the installment on account of the call (if there shall so be) at the times and places to be determined by the Board.

32. The calls for payment shall be deemed to have been requested from the date the Board shall have decided upon the calls for payment.

- 38 -



33. The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay the calls for payment in full and the installment on account, in connection with such calls.

34. If a sum called in respect of a share is not paid the holders of the share or the person to whom it has been issued shall be liable to pay interest and linkage differentials upon the amount of the call or the payments on account, as determined by the Board of Directors commencing from the day appointed for the payment thereof to the time of actual payment, but the Board shall be at liberty to waiver payment of that interest, wholly or in part.

35. Any amount that according to the condition of issuance of a share must be paid at the time of issuance or at a fixed date, whether on account of the sum of the share or premium, shall be deemed for the purposes of these Articles to be a call of payment that was made duly and the date of payment shall be the date appointed for payment. In the event of non-payment of this amount all of the Articles herein dealing with payment of interest, expenses, forfeiture, pledge and the like and all the other Articles connected therewith, shall apply, as if this sum had been duly requested and notice had been given, as aforesaid.

36. The Board may make arrangements at the time of issue of shares for a difference between the holders with respect to the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment, and the rate of interest.

37. The Board may, if it thinks fit, receive from any shareholder willing to pay in advance all of the monies or a part thereof that shall be due on account of his shares, in addition to any amounts or a part thereof that shall be due on account of his shares, in addition to any amounts that the payment in fact has been requested and they shall be permitted to pay him interest at the rate the Board and shareholders shall agree upon, for the amounts paid in advance as aforesaid, or upon the part thereof which is in excess of the amounts whose payment was at the time requested on account of his shares in connection with which the payments have been made in advance, in addition to paying dividends that will be paid for that part of the share which has been paid in advance. The Board of Directors may at any time repay any amount so advanced without premium or penalty by giving such shareholder seven days’ prior notice in writing. Nothing in this Article 37 shall derogate from the right of the Board of Directors to make any call before or after receipt by the Company of any such advance.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

38. If a shareholder fails to pay any call or installment of a call on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Board may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or installment remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or installment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses that were incurred as a result of such non-payment.

39. The notice shall name a further day, not earlier than the expiration of seven days from the date of the notice, on or before which the amount of the call or installment or a part thereof is to be made together with interest and any expenses incurred as a result of such non-payment. The notice shall also state the place the payment is to be made and that in the event of non-payment, at or before the time appointed, the shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

- 39 -



40. If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect. In such event, the provisions of Section 181 of the Companies Law shall apply, and the shares so forfeited shall be “dormant shares” as provided for therein. The forfeiture shall include those dividends that were declared but not yet distributed, with respect to the forfeited shares.

41. A share so forfeited shall be deemed to be the property of the Company and can be sold or otherwise disposed of, on such terms and in such manner as the Board thinks fit, subject to applicable law. Such shares shall not be deemed, for the purposes of these Articles, to comprise part of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, and shall be disregarded for the purposes of calculations based thereon. At any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be canceled on such terms as the Board thinks fit.

42. A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a shareholder in respect of the forfeited shares, but shall notwithstanding remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which, at the date of forfeiture, were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company receives payment in full of all moneys that, at the date of forfeiture, were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares (including interest and expenses).

43. Without derogating from Article 30 above, the forfeiture of a share shall cause, at the time of forfeiture, the cancellation of all rights in the Company or any claim or demand against it with respect to that share and the other rights and obligations between the share owner and the Company accompanying the share, except for those rights and obligations not included in such a cancellation according to these Articles or that the Companies Law imposes upon former shareholders.

44. The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the nominal value amount of the share, or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

MODIFICATION OF CAPITAL

45. Subject to the provisions of Article 12 above and to any applicable law, the Company may, from time to time, by resolution duly adopted according to these Articles:

  (a) consolidate and divide all or any of its issued or unissued share capital into shares of larger nominal value than its existing shares;

  (b) cancel any shares which have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person;

  (c) by subdivision of its existing shares, or any of them, divide the whole, or any part, of its share capital into shares of smaller amounts than is fixed by the Memorandum of Association in a manner that with respect to the shares created as a result of the division it will be possible within the resolution of division to grant to one or more shares a preferable right or advantage with respect to dividend, capital, voting or otherwise over the remaining share or other similar shares;

- 40 -



  (d) reduce its share capital and any fund reserved for capital redemption in the manner that it shall deem to be correct.

INCREASE OF SHARE CAPITAL

46. Subject to the provisions of Article 12 above and to any applicable law, the Company shall be permitted from time to time, by resolution duly adopted according to these Articles, to increase its share capital – whether or not all its shares have been issued, or whether the shares issued have been paid in full – by creation of new shares. This new capital shall be in such an amount, divided into shares in such amounts and have such preferable or deferred or other special rights (subject always to the special rights conferred upon an existing class of share), subject to any condition and restrictions with respect to dividends, return of capital, voting or otherwise, all as shall be directed by the general meeting in its resolution sanctioning the increase of the share capital.

47. Subject to any decision to the contrary in the resolution sanctioning the increase in share capital, pursuant to these Articles, the new share capital shall be deemed to be part of the original share capital of the Company and shall be subject to the same provisions with reference to payment of calls, liens, title, forfeiture, transfer and otherwise as apply to the original share capital.

GENERAL MEETINGS

48. A general meeting shall be held once in every calendar year at such time, being not more than fifteen months after the holding of the last preceding general meeting, and place as may be prescribed by the Board.

If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting shall stand adjourned to the second business day following the day originally scheduled, and at such adjourned meeting 4 directors shall constitute a quorum notwithstanding that a director appointed by any specific shareholder or class of shareholders is not present.

75. CHAIRMAN

  The Board may from time to time elect, by a simple majority, a Chairman, and decide the period of time he shall hold such an office, and he shall preside at the meetings of the Board of Directors. However, if such a Chairman is not elected or if he is not present at any meeting, the Board may, by a simple majority, choose one of its members to serve as Chairman of that meeting.

- 49 -



  (b) Unless otherwise provided by these Articles, all acts and determinations of the Board of Directors shall be determined by a simple majority of those attending and voting.

  (c) Members of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute attendance in person at the meeting.

78. DELEGATION OF POWER

  (a) Subject to applicable law, the Board of Directors may delegate any of their powers to committees consisting of such member or members of their body as they deem fit and may, from time to time, revoke such delegation.

  (b) In the exercise of any power delegated to it by the Board of Directors all committees shall conform to any regulations that may be imposed upon them by the Board of Directors, if there shall be any such regulation. If no such regulations are adopted by the Board of Directors or if there are no complete and encompassing regulations, the committees shall act pursuant to these Articles dealing with organization of meetings, meetings and functions of the Board of Directors, mutatis mutandis, and insofar as no provision of the Board of Directors shall replace it pursuant to this article.

  (c) All actions performed in a bona fide fashion by the Board of Directors or by a committee of the Board of Directors, or by any person acting as a director or as a substitute shall be as valid, even if at a later date a flaw shall be discovered in the appointment of such a director or such a person acting as aforesaid, or that all or some of them were unfit as if each and every one of those persons shall have been duly appointed and fit to serve as a director or substitute as the case may be.

80. GENERAL MANAGER

  (a) The Board may from time to time appoint one or more persons, whether or not he is a member of the Board of Directors, as the CEO of the Company, either for a fixed period of time or without limiting the time that he or they will stay in office, and the Board may from time to time (subject to any provision in any contract between him or them and the Company) release him or them from their office and appoint another or others in his or their place.

  (b) The Board of Directors may from time to time grant and bestow upon the general manager, at that time, those powers and authorities that it exercises pursuant to these Articles, as it shall deem fit, and may grant those powers and authorities for such period, and to be exercised for such objectives and purposes and in such time and conditions, and on such restrictions, as it shall decide; and it may grant such authorities whether concurrently with the Board of Directors’ authorities in that area, or in excess of them, or in place thereof or any one of them, and it can from time to time revoke, repeal, or change any one or all of those authorities.

- 50 -



  (c) Notwithstanding the aforesaid in Article 69 the wages of the general manager shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors (subject to any provision in any contract between him and the Company) and it may be paid by way of a fixed salary or commission or dividends, or a percentage of profits or the Company profit turnover or of any other Company that the Company has an interest in, or by participation in such profits, or in one or more of the aforementioned methods.

81. MINUTES

  (a) The Board shall cause minutes to be taken of all general meetings of the Company, of the appointments of officials of the Company, of Board of Directors’ meetings and of committee meetings that shall include the following items, if applicable:

  (4) resolutions adopted at the meeting;

  (5) directives given by the meeting to the committees;

  (6) if requested, any reservation of a shareholder or director with regard to a matter discussed or resolution passed.

  (b) The minutes of any meeting shall serve as prima facie proof as to the facts in the minutes if the minutes are reviewed and approved at the next succeeding meeting and are signed by the Chairman of that next succeeding meeting.

82. RESOLUTION IN WRITING

  A resolution in writing signed by all shareholders of the Company or by all the members of the Board of Directors, or of a committee, or such a resolution that all the shareholders of the Company then entitled to vote at General Meetings, the members of the Board of Directors or a committee have agreed to in writing or by fax shall be valid for every purpose as a resolution adopted at a General Meeting, Board of Directors’ or committee meeting, as the case may be, that was duly convened and held. In place of a shareholder or director, as the case may be, any such aforesaid resolution may be signed and delivered by his substitute.

83. SEAL, STAMP AND SIGNATURES

  (a) The Board shall cause the seal (if the Company shall have a seal) to be kept in safekeeping and it shall be forbidden to use the seal unless prior permission of the Board of Directors is given. If such permission was given, the seal shall be affixed in the presence of whoever has been so appointed by the Board of Directors, and he shall sign any document upon which the seal has been affixed.

  (b) The Company shall have at least one rubber stamp. The Board shall ensure that such a stamp is kept in a safe place.

  (c) The Board of Directors may designate and authorize any person or persons (even if they are not members of the Board of Directors) to act and to sign in the name of the Company, and the acts and signatures of such a person or persons shall bind the Company, insofar as such persons have acted and signed within the limits of their aforesaid authority.

- 51 -



  (d) The printing of the name of the Company by a typewriter or by hand next to the signatures of the authorized signatories of the Company, pursuant to sub-article (c) above, shall be valid as if the rubber stamp of the Company was affixed.

84. BRANCH REGISTERS

  The Company may, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law or any other applicable law that may substitute such provisions, keep in every other country where those provisions shall apply, a register or registers of shareholders living in that other country as aforesaid, and to exercise any other powers referred to in the laws with respect to such branch registers.

85. THE SECRETARY, OFFICERS AND ATTORNEYS

  (a) The Board of Directors may appoint a secretary of the Company upon the conditions that it deems fit. The Board may as well, from time to time, appoint an associate secretary who shall be deemed to be the secretary for the period of his appointment.

  (b) The Board of Directors may, from time to time appoint to the Company, officers, workers, agents and functionaries to permanent, temporary or special positions, as it shall, from time to time, see fit and set compensation for them.

  (c) The Board may, at any time and from time to time, authorize any Company, firm, person or group of people, whether this authorization is done by the Board directly or indirectly, to be the attorneys in fact of the Company for those purposes and with those powers and discretion which shall not exceed those conferred upon the Board of Directors or that the Board of Directors can exercise pursuant to these Articles – and for such a period of time and upon such conditions as the Board deems proper, and every such authorization may contain such directives as the Board of Directors deems proper for the protection and benefit of the persons dealing with such attorneys.

86. DIVIDEND

  Subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and these Articles, including without limitation the provisions of Articles 7, 8 and 12 and subject to any rights or conditions of Preferred Shares and Ordinary-Preferred Shares and other rights and conditions attached at that time to any share in the capital of the Company granting preferential, special or deferred rights or not granting any rights with respect to dividends, the profits of the Company shall be distributable to the shareholders of the Company according to the proportion of the nominal value paid up or credited as paid up on account of the shares held by them at the date so appointed by the Company, without regard to the premium paid in excess of the nominal value. A distribution, setting aside or declaration of dividend requires a decision of the Board of Directors.

  The Board of Directors may issue any share upon the condition that a dividend shall be paid at a certain date or that a portion of the declared dividend for a certain period shall be paid, or that the period for which a dividend shall be paid shall commence at a certain date, or a similar condition, all as decided by the Board of Directors. In every such case – subject to the provision mentioned in the beginning of this article – the dividend shall be paid in respect of such a share in accordance with such a condition.

- 52 -



87. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, at the time of declaration of a dividend the Board of Directors may decide that such a dividend shall be paid in part or in whole, by way of distribution of certain properties, especially by way of distribution of fully paid up shares or debentures or debenture stock of the Company, or by way of distribution of fully paid up shares or debentures or debenture stock of any other Company or in one or more of the aforesaid ways. For purposes of any such distribution, the outstanding Preferred Shares and Ordinary-Preferred Shares shall be deemed to have been converted into Ordinary Shares as of the time appointed by the Board of Directors for the purpose of determining entitlement to participate in such distribution.

88. Any dividends payable on shares which are not fully paid up, will be first applied to any unpaid amount on such shares even if such payments are not yet due, pursuant to the terms of issuance or as provided in these Articles, and any excess will be distributed to the holder of such shares as set forth herein.

89. The Board of Directors may put a lien on any dividend on which the Company has a charge, and it may use it to pay any debts, obligations or commitments with respect to which the charge exists.

90. A transfer of shares shall not transfer the right to a dividend which has been declared after the transfer but before the registration of the transfer. The person registered in the register as a shareholder on the date appointed by the company for that purpose shall be the one entitled to receive a dividend.

91. Reserved.

92. A notice of the declaration of a dividend, whether an interim dividend or otherwise, shall be given to the shareholders registered in the register, in the manner provided for in these Articles.

93. If no other provision is given, the dividend may be paid by check or payment order to be mailed to the registered address of a shareholder or person entitled thereto in the register or, in the case of registered joint owners, to the addresses of one of the joint owners as registered in the register. Every such check shall be made out to the person it is sent to. The receipt of the person who, on the date of declaration of dividend, is registered as the holder of any share or, in the case of joint holders, of one of the joint holders, shall serve as a release with respect to payments made in connection with that share.

94. (a) Subject to Article 12 above, if at any time the share capital shall be divided into different classes of shares, the distribution of fully paid up shares, from funds pursuant to Article 95 below, shall be made in one of the two following manners as to be decided upon by the Board:

  (i) In such a manner so that all the holders of a share entitled to fully paid up shares shall receive one uniform class of shares; or

  (ii) In such manner so that each holder of shares entitled to fully paid up shares as aforesaid shall receive shares of the class of shares held by him and entitling him to fully paid up shares, as aforesaid.

  (b) In order to give effect to any resolution in connection with the distribution of dividends, or distribution of property, fully paid-up shares or debentures, the Board of Directors may resolve any difficulty that shall arise with distribution as it shall deem necessary, especially to issue certificates for fractional shares and to determine the value of certain property for purposes of distribution, and to decide that payment in cash shall be made to the shareholder on the basis of the value decided for that purpose, or that fractions the value of which is less than one New Israeli Shekel shall not be taken into account for the purpose of coordinating the rights of all the parties. The Board of Directors shall be permitted, in this regard, to grant cash or property to trustees in escrow for the benefit of persons entitled thereto, as the Board shall see beneficial. Wherever required, an agreement shall be submitted to the registrar of companies and the Board may appoint a person to execute such an agreement in the name of the persons entitled to a dividend, property, fully paid up shares or debentures as shares or debentures as aforesaid, and such an appointment shall be valid.

- 53 -



  (c) The Company shall not be obligated to pay interest on a dividend.

  (d) The Board of Directors may, with respect to all dividends not collected within one year after their declaration, invest or use them in another way for the benefit of the Company, until they shall be demanded. The Company shall not pay interest for dividends or interest not collected.

95. FUNDS

  The Board may set aside from the profits of the Company the sums it deems proper, as a reserve fund or reserve funds for extraordinary uses, or for preferred dividends or equalization of dividends or other funds or for the purpose of correcting, bettering or retaining any property of the Company and for those other purposes which shall, in the absolute discretion of the Board of Directors, be beneficial to the Company and it may invest the various sums so invested in such investments as it finds proper, and from time to time deal with such investments, change or transfer them, in part or in whole, for the benefit of the Company. The Board of Directors may, as well, divide any reserve liability fund to preferred funds as it shall deem proper, transfer moneys from fund to fund and use every fund or any part thereof in the business of the Company, without being required to keep such sums separate from the rest of the Company’s property. The Board of Directors may, from time to time, also transfer, to the next year, profits out of such sums which are, in its absolute discretion, beneficial to the Company. Generally the Board of Directors may create funds as it deems necessary, either those resulting from profits of the Company or from re-evaluation of property, or from premiums paid for shares or from any other source, and to use them in its discretion as it deems fit insofar as that in the creation of such funds, the changes or uses do not exceed the provisions of the Companies Law or accepted accounting principles.

96. All premiums received from the issue of shares shall be capital funds and they shall be treated for every purpose as capital and not as profits distributable as dividends. The Board of Directors may organize a reserve capital liability account and transfer, from time to time, all such premiums to the reserve capital liability account or use such premiums and monies to cover depreciation or doubtful loss. All losses from sale of investments or other property of the Company shall be debited from other funds of the Company. The Board of Directors may use any monies credited to the capital reserve liability account in any manner that these Articles or the Companies Law permits.

97. Any amounts transferred and credited to the account of income and expense fund or general reserve liability account or capital liability reserve account, may, until otherwise used in accordance with these Articles, be invested together with such other monies of the Company in the day to day business of the Company, without having to differentiate between these investments and the investment of the monies of the Company.

- 54 -



98. ACCOUNTS AND AUDIT

  The Board shall cause correct accounts to be kept:

  (a) of the assets and liabilities;

  (b) of any amount of money received or expended by the Company and the mattes for which such sum of money is expended or received; and

  (c) of all purchases and sales made by the Company.

99. The account books shall be kept in the Office or at such other place as the Board deems fit and they shall also be open for inspection by the directors.

100. The Board of Directors shall determine from time to time, in any specific case or type of case, or generally, whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company, or any of them, shall be open for inspection by the shareholders, and no shareholder, not being a director, shall have any right of inspecting any account book or document of the Company except as conferred by law or authorized by the Board of Directors or by the Company in a general meeting.

101. Not less than once a year, the Board shall submit before the Company at the Annual General Meeting a profit and loss account for the period after the previous account, and if it is the first account for the period after registration of the Company, it shall be prepared as of a date not more than nine months before the date of the meeting and in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Companies Law, and the Board shall submit a balance sheet that is correct as of the date of the profit and loss account. To the balance sheet shall be attached a report of the auditor and it shall be accompanied by a report from the Board with respect to the situation of the Company business and the amount they propose as a dividend and the amount (if any) that they propose be set aside for the fund accounts.

102. Auditors shall be appointed and their function shall be set out in accordance with the Companies Law.

NOTICES

102. A notice or any other document may be served by the Company upon any shareholder either personally or by sending it by prepaid letter, fax or e-mail addressed to such shareholder at his address, wherever situated, as appearing in the register of shareholders, provided, however that a shareholder may notify the Company in writing of its objection to the use of e-mail as the sole means of notice in which event the Company shall provide notice to such shareholder by e-mail and one of the other means permitted by this Article 102.

103. All notices directed to be given to the shareholders shall, with respect to any shares to which persons are jointly entitled, be given to one of the joint holders, and any notice so given shall be sufficient notice to the holders of such share.

104. Prior and timely notice of the convening of a shareholders meeting shall be given to each shareholder, wherever situated, at the last address provided by the shareholder. Any shareholder registered in the register who shall, from time to time, furnish the Company with an address at which notices may be served, shall be entitled to receive all notices he is entitled to receive according to these Articles at that address.

105. A notice may be given by the Company to the persons entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a shareholder by sending it through the post in a prepaid letter or fax or e-mail addressed to them by name, at the address furnished for the purpose by the persons claiming to be so entitled or, until such an address has been so furnished, by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred.

- 55 -



106. Any notice or other document, (i) if delivered personally, shall be deemed to have been served upon delivery, (ii) if sent by post, shall be deemed to have been served five (5) days after the time when the letter was delivered to the post, if sent by airmail, and two (2) days after the letter was delivered to the post, if sent by domestic post, and (iii) if sent by facsimile or electronic mail, shall be confirmed by appropriate answer back and shall be effective upon actual receipt if received during the recipient’s normal business hours, or beginning the recipient’s next business day after receipt if not received during recipient’s normal business hours. In proving such service it shall be sufficient to prove that the letter, facsimile, or electronic mail containing the notice was properly addressed and delivered at the post office or sent by facsimile or electronic mail, as the case may be. Any list kept in the ordinary manner in any mail list of the company or any copy of any fax in the Company’s possession shall be prima facie proof of the delivery.

107. (a)     In any case where it is necessary to give prior notice of a certain number of days or a notice valid for a certain period, the date of delivery shall be taken into account in the number of days or period.

  (b)     In addition to the furnishing of a notice pursuant to the above article, the Company may furnish a notice to the shareholders entitled to receive notice, or to part of them, by publication of a notice in a newspaper distributed in the area wherein the Office is located, or any other place, in Israel or abroad, as the Board shall determine from time to time.

108. RESERVED

109. INDEMNITY

  (a) The Company shall, subject and pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Law, indemnify an “Office Holder” of the Company (as such term is defined in the Companies Law) for all liabilities and expenses incurred by him arising from or as a result of any act (or omission) carried out by him as an Office Holder of the Company and which is indemnifiable pursuant to the Companies Law, to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Company may indemnify an Office Holder post-factum and may also undertake to indemnify an Office Holder in advance, provided that, to the extent required under applicable law, such undertaking is limited to types of occurrences which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors are, at the time of the undertaking, foreseeable and to an amount of the Board of Directors has determined is reasonable in the circumstances.

WARRANT

        THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Plenus Technologies Ltd. (“Plenus”), or any other Holder (as defined in Section 1 hereof) is entitled to purchase from the Corporation, during the period from the date hereof until the Termination Date (as defined below) up to 1,207,209 fully paid shares of the Corporation’s BB-1 Preferred Shares, having all rights, privileges and preferences, contractual, economic or otherwise, attached to such class of shares or otherwise granted to any holder of such class of shares (the “Warrant Shares”), at an exercise price of $2.3194 per Warrant Share as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 below (the “Exercise Price”), subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Warrant.

    1.        Definitions.

        As used herein the following defined terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them in this Section as follows:

        “Convertible Securities” shall mean options or warrants to purchase, or rights to subscribe for, shares of the Corporation, or securities that by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities of the Corporation, or options or warrants to purchase, or rights to subscribe for, such convertible or exchangeable securities.

- 67 -



        “Holder” shall mean Plenus and/or any other third party to whom this Warrant is assigned or transferred in accordance with the terms hereof.

        “IPO” shall mean the consummation of an initial public offering of the Corporation’s securities.

        “Issuance of Additional Shares” shall mean the issuance of ‘Additional Securities’ as such term is defined in the Corporation’s Articles of Association as may be in effect from time to time.

        “M&A Transaction” shall mean the consummation of (a) a transaction or a series of transactions for the sale or other disposition of all, or substantially all, of the assets or business of the Corporation, or (b) a transaction or a series of transactions, including, without limitation, a merger or consolidation, whereby, or as a result thereof, the Corporation’s shareholders immediately prior thereto hold 50% or less of the voting power of the Corporation, the surviving entity or the new entity (as the case may be) or no longer have the power or the right to appoint more than fifty (50%) percent of the members of the board of directors of such entity.

        “Realization Event” shall mean an IPO or M&A Transaction.

        “Termination Date” shall mean the earlier to occur of: (i) October 11, 2014; (ii) the consummation of an IPO; or (iii) the consummation of an M&A Transaction in which the consideration for the assets or shares disposed of is paid in cash, publicly traded securities or a combination thereof.

        Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement, dated as of October 11, 2005, between the Corporation, Plenus II, L.P. and Plenus II (D.C.M.). Limited Partnership.

    2.        Method of Exercise; Payment.

    (a)        Cash Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the Notice of Exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed) at the principal office of the Corporation, and by the payment to the Corporation, by cash, cashier’s check, certified check, or other check or method acceptable to the Corporation, of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of the Warrant Shares being purchased.


    (b)        Net Exercise. In lieu of the payment method set forth in Section 3(a) above, the Holder may elect to exchange the Warrant for a number of the applicable class of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula by surrendering this Warrant to the Corporation at the principal offices of the Corporation accompanied with the Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A:


          X = Y(A-B)
                      A

          Where X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

                       Y= the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrant (adjusted to the date of such calculation, but excluding Warrant Shares already issued under this Warrant).

                       A= the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one Warrant Share.

                       B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

- 68 -



          Upon completion of the calculation, if X is a negative number, then X shall be deemed to be 0 (zero).

          “Fair Market Value” of a Warrant Share shall mean:

    (i)        In the event of an M&A Transaction – the price per Warrant Share (assuming conversion of the Warrant Shares, adjusted to the date of such calculation, but excluding those shares already issued under this Warrant) as determined in such transaction.


    (ii)        In the event of an IPO – the public offering price (before deduction of discounts, commissions or expenses) in such offering.


    (iii)        If the Fair Market Value for a Warrant Share cannot be determined in the manner set forth above in items (i)-(ii), then the Fair Market Value of a Warrant Share shall be as determined in good faith by the Corporation and the Holder or, if they fail to so determine, by the Corporation’s auditor.


    (c)        Conditional Exercise. In the event that the Holder intends to exercise this Warrant upon a Realization Event, the Holder shall be entitled to condition such exercise on the consummation of a Realization Event and shall indicate same on the Notice of Exercise and, having done so, the Holder will only be required to pay the applicable aggregate Exercise Price if, and at such time as, the Realization Event is consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, an exercise conditioned on the consummation of a Realization Event in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2(c) shall be considered as an exercise prior to the Termination Date provided that the Notice of Exercise is received by the Company prior to the Realization Event.


    (d)        Share Certificates; Partial Exercise. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the applicable class and amount of Warrant Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder promptly and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised in accordance with Sections 2(a) or 2(b) hereof, a new Warrant representing the balance of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder within such time.


    3.        Share Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All of the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance and receipt of the Exercise Price therefor, be fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges. At all times when this Warrant may be exercised, the Corporation shall have authorized and reserved for issuance sufficient shares, free from pre-emptive rights, of its Warrant Shares to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, so that this Warrant may be exercised without additional authorization of share capital, after giving effect to all other Convertible Securities.

    4.        Adjustments. The number and class of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price therefor shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:

- 69 -



    (a)        Reclassification. In case of any reclassification or change of the applicable class of Warrant Shares issuable at such time (other than a change in par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), the Corporation shall execute and issue a new Warrant, providing that the Holder shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant, and procure upon such exercise and payment of the same aggregate Exercise Price, in lieu of such applicable class of Warrant Shares theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the class and amount of shares, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification or change, by a holder of an equivalent number of such applicable class of Warrant Shares. Such new warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4 or as shall be necessary in order to ensure the integrity of the Holder’s economic rights. The provisions of this subsection (a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications or changes.


    (b)        Share Splits, Dividends, Combinations and Reorganizations. In the event that the Corporation shall at any time subdivide the outstanding applicable class of Warrant Shares or shall issue a share dividend on its outstanding applicable class of Warrant Shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision or to the issuance of such share dividend shall be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased. In the event that the Corporation shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of the applicable class of Warrant Shares, the number of shares of the applicable class of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased. Similar equitable adjustments will be made in the event any spin-off, split-off or other capital change transaction by the Corporation.


    (c)        General Protection. The Corporation will not by amendment of its Memorandum of Association or Articles or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance or sale of its securities or any other voluntary action, avoid, or seek to avoid, the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all provisions hereof and in taking of all such actions and making all such adjustments as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against any impairment.


    5.        Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of shares of the applicable class of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder or the Exercise Price thereof shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the Corporation shall provide written notice to the Holder setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the number and class of shares of the applicable class of Warrant Shares which may be purchased and the Exercise Price therefor after giving effect to such adjustment.

    6.        Fractional Shares. This Warrant may not be exercised for fractional shares. In the event of fractional shares, the Corporation shall round the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise down to the nearest whole share and shall pay an amount in cash to the Holder equal to any such fractional share.

- 70 -



    7.        Representations and Covenants of the Corporation. The Corporation represents and covenants to the Holder as follows:

    (a)        All corporate actions on the part of the Corporation, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the sale and issuance of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares and the performance of the Corporation’s obligations hereunder have been taken and are effective as of the Effective Date. The Corporation undertakes that all additional corporate actions on the part of the Corporation, its officers, directors and shareholders as may be required in connection with an adjustment pursuant hereto and/or the creation, sale and issuance of the New Shares, will be taken as promptly as practicable.


    (b)        As of the date of exercise of this Warrant, the Corporation shall record the Holder in the Corporation’s internal share register in accordance with the applicable law and practice, as the owners, direct or beneficial, of the Warrant Shares pursuant to the names provided by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise (Exhibit A) to this Warrant.


    8.        Restrictions Upon Transfer.

    (a)        All transfers of this Warrant shall be accompanied by an executed warrant transfer deed, under which the transferee undertakes to be bound by all obligations of the Holder under this Warrant. The form of the deed of transfer is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Corporation need not register a transfer of this Warrant unless the proposed transferee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Warrant.

11.     The Pledgor shall promptly notify Plenus in writing of any material adverse change in the business or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Pledgor or the Collateral and of any other event which may materially adversely affect the business or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Pledgor or the Collateral, including, but not limited to, any claim or right in or to the Collateral and/or any execution or realization proceedings thereof.

12.     The Pledgor will immediately notify Plenus of any change in its name or identity or corporate structure, including, but not limited to, any change of control of the Pledgor, or in the location of its chief offices or where its books and records are kept, as well as any change to its incorporation documents which may adversely affect the Lender’s and the Co-lenders’ rights hereunder.

13.     None of the rights, privileges, or obligations set forth in, arising under, or created by, this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Pledgor or a Lender or a Co-lender without the prior consent in writing of the Pledgor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights, privileges and obligations under this Agreement to any of the following (each a “Permitted Transferee”): (i) any other entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Lender, (ii) if the Lender is a trustee or is appointed to act on behalf of others, – then to its beneficiaries, (iii) to the Co-lenders and Participants (as defined in the Loan Agreement), or (iv) if the Lender is a general or limited partnership – to its partners and to affiliated partnerships managed by the same management company or managing general partner or to an entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such management company or managing general partner. The foregoing in clauses (i)-(iv) above is subject to the assignee or transferee assuming in writing the obligations of the assignor or transferor under this Agreement (including any schedules attached hereto). The limited right of a Lender to assign and transfer pursuant to this Section 13 shall also apply, mutatis mutandis, to each of the other Permitted Transferees.

14.     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary the Lender hereby represents that: (i) the Co-lenders have agreed that Plenus at its sole discretion shall determine whether to realize any charges and/or pledges over the assets of the Pledgor created for the benefit of the Lender and the Co-lenders, and make any other decisions that need to be made with respect to any other issue relating to this Agreement, (ii) the Co-lenders have agreed that Plenus at its sole discretion shall determine whether an Event of Acceleration has occurred, and (iii) the Co-lenders have agreed not to take any action to the contrary.

17.     Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either prospectively or retroactively and either generally or in a particular instance) only with the written consent of the Pledgor and Plenus. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any party upon any breach or default under this Agreement, shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any of the parties, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

18.     This Agreement and the other Transaction documents constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with regard to the subject matters hereof and thereof. The preamble, exhibits and schedules hereto constitute an integral part hereof.

No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any party upon any breach or default under this Agreement, shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any of the parties, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

18.     This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with regard to the subject matters hereof and thereof. The preamble, exhibits and schedules hereto constitute an integral part hereof.

Exhibit D – Opinion of the Company’s Counsel
Date: November 6, 2005

To:
Plenus II, L.P. and Plenus II (D.C.M.), Limited Partnership

Re: Negevtech Ltd.

We have acted as counsel to Negevtech Ltd, a company incorporated under the laws of Israel (the “Company”), in connection with a loan transaction by and between the Company and Plenus II, L.P. and Plenus II (D.C.M.), Limited Partnership, including a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), Floating Charge Agreement (the “Floating Charge Agreement”), Fixed Charge Agreement (the “Fixed Charge Agreement”), and a Warrant (the “Warrant”) (the Loan Agreement, the Floating Charge Agreement, the Fixed Charge Agreement and the Warrant, including all exhibits and schedules to such documents, shall be referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents”). All capitalized terms as used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Transaction Documents, unless otherwise specifically stated in this Opinion Letter. This opinion is being rendered to you pursuant to Section 1.3(vi) of the Loan Agreement.

In furnishing this opinion we have reviewed originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Transaction Documents, the Memorandum of Association and the Articles of Association of the Company and all amendments thereto, such corporate records and other documents of the Company which we deemed necessary or appropriate (collectively, the “Corporate Documents”) and such other documents, certificates and other instruments which we deemed necessary or appropriate.

In all such reviews, we have assumed the due execution and delivery of documents by the parties thereto (pursuant to due authorization), the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and the legal capacity of all signatories to such documents.

As to factual matters which are pertinent to our legal opinion but are not within our knowledge, we have relied upon the written representations by the Company and others. Although we have made no independent checks or verification of such factual matters, nothing has come to our attention which questioned the accuracy of such facts.

This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Israel as such laws presently exist and we express no opinion with respect to the effect or the applicability of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

For purposes of our opinion in paragraphs 1 and 2 below, we have relied solely upon the Certificate of Incorporation and Registration as a Private Company issued by the Registrar of Companies dated 22.12.91 and upon documents filed and held on record with the Registrar of Companies.

- 96 -



Our opinions below are further subject to the following qualifications and exceptions:

    (i)        the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally;

    (ii)        the effect of statutory or decisional law concerning recourse by creditors to security in the absence of notice and hearing, or by general equitable principles, or by the discretionary powers of any court or administrative body. We do not express any opinion herein as to the availability of any equitable or other specific remedy, including specific performance, upon breach of any of the agreements, documents or obligations referred to herein; and

    (iii)        the effect of foreign laws, judicial determinations or governmental actions affecting creditors’ rights or the Company’s performance of its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, subject to the limitations set forth below and subject to any factual matters, documents or events not disclosed to us in the abovementioned review, we are of the opinion that, other than as set forth in the Transaction Documents and subject to receipt of the approval of the Investment Center at the Israeli Minister of Industry, Trade and Employment, as of the date hereof:

1.     The Company is a company duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the State of Israel for an unlimited duration.

2.     The Company has the corporate power under the Corporate Documents to enter into each of the Transaction Documents and to carry out and perform its obligations thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

3.     Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Company and has been duly executed and delivered by duly authorized signatories of the Company.

4.     Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms.

5.     The Warrant has been duly authorized, validly issued and is nonassessable and to our knowledge, the Warrant Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Warrant, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

6.     The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the performance of its obligations thereunder, do not violate (i) the Corporate Documents, or (ii) to the best of our knowledge, applicable provisions of statutory law or regulation, rule, order or decree of any competent authority in the State of Israel applicable to the Company. We are also not aware of any Material Agreement, which conflicts with or will be breached by the execution, delivery or performance of, the Transaction Documents in a manner which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

7.     To the best of our knowledge, no authorizations, consents or approvals are required from any governmental authorities or agencies or other official bodies in the State of Israel in connection with the execution or delivery of the Transaction Documents or the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder which have not been obtained.

- 97 -



This opinion is based on the law (and the interpretations thereof) and facts existing on the date hereof.

This opinion is rendered only to you and is solely for your benefit in connection with the Transaction Documents. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose; nor may this opinion be provided or quoted to, or relied upon by, any other person or entity for any purpose without our prior written consent. We disclaim any obligations to advise you of any changes therein that may be brought to our attention after the date hereof. Please note that we are opining only as to the matters specifically and expressly set forth herein and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matters.
