c. Benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments:

Tax benefits under the Israel Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the "Investment Law"):

Under the Investment Law, the Company has been granted "Beneficiary Enterprise" status which provides certain benefits, including tax exemptions and reduced tax rates. Income not eligible for Beneficiary Enterprise benefits is taxed at a regular rate.

During the benefit period, the Company will be tax exempt in the first two years of the benefit period and subject to tax at the reduced rate of 10%- 25% for an additional period of five to eight years (depending on the percentage of foreign investments in the Company) of the benefit period. The benefit entitlement period starts from the first year that the Beneficiary Enterprise first earned taxable income, and is limited to 12 years from the year in which the Company requested to have tax benefits apply. In the event of distribution of dividends from the said tax exempt income, the amount distributed will be subject to corporate tax at the reduced rate ordinarily applicable to the Beneficiary Enterprise's income.

Tax exempt income generated under the Company's "Beneficiary Enterprise" program will be subject to taxes upon dividend distribution or complete liquidation. The entitlement to the above benefits is conditional upon the Company's fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the Investment Law and regulations published thereunder. Should the Company fail to meet such requirements in the future, income attributable to its Beneficiary Enterprise programs could be subject to the statutory Israeli corporate tax rate and the Company could be required to refund a portion of the tax benefits already received, with respect to such programs.
