ITEM 1: APPROVAL OF THE REAPPOINTMENT OF KESSELMAN & KESSELMAN PWC ISRAEL, A MEMBER OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS INTERNATIONAL LTD., AS OUR INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS, EFFECTIVE AS OF THE APPROVAL BY THE MEETING UNTIL OUR NEXT ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS, AND DELEGATION TO THE COMPANY'S AUDIT COMMITTEE AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE AUTHORITY TO DETERMINE THE ACCOUNTANTS' REMUNERATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE VOLUME AND NATURE OF THEIR SERVICES.

Under the Companies Law and the Company’s articles of association, the shareholders of the Company are authorized to appoint the Company’s independent certified public accountants. In addition, the approval by the Company’s Audit Committee of the re-appointment and remuneration of the independent certified public accountants is required under the corporate governance rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market.
 
We first appointed Kesselman & Kesselman PwC Israel, a member of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Ltd., as our independent certified public accountants in 2009. Kesselman & Kesselman PwC Israel has no relationship with us or any of our affiliates except as auditors.
 
5

 
At the Meeting, and in accordance with the recommendation of our Audit Committee and Board of Directors, the shareholders will be asked to approve the re-appointment of Kesselman & Kesselman PwC Israel as our independent registered public accountants effective as of the approval by the Meeting and until the Company's next Annual Meeting of Shareholders. As a result of Kesselman & Kesselman PwC Israel’s familiarity with our operations and its reputation in the auditing field, our Audit Committee and Board of Directors believe that Kesselman & Kesselman PwC Israel has the necessary personnel, professional qualifications and independence to act as our independent certified public accountants.
 
At the Meeting, the shareholders will also be asked to delegate to our Board of Directors and our Audit Committee the authority to determine the remuneration of our independent certified public accountants according to the volume and nature of their services. With respect to fiscal year 2017, we paid Kesselman & Kesselman PwC Israel approximately $220,500 for audit services and $62,500 for tax-related services.
 
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution:
 
RESOLVED, THAT THE RE-APPOINTMENT OF KESSELMAN & KESSELMAN PWC ISRAEL, A MEMBER OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS INTERNATIONAL LTD., AS THE INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF THE COMPANY EFFECTIVE AS OF THE APPROVAL BY THE MEETING AND UNTIL THE COMPANY'S NEXT ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS, BE AND HEREBY IS APPROVED, AND IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED, THAT THE AUDIT COMMITTEE AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS BE, AND HEREBY ARE, AUTHORIZED TO DETERMINE THE REMUNERATION OF SUCH AUDITORS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE VOLUME AND NATURE OF THEIR SERVICES.”

ITEM 2: APPROVAL OF THE RE-ELECTION OF EACH OF MR. AMOS MALKA, MR. RON BEN HAIM, MR. AMI BOEHM, AND MS. DAFNA GRUBER TO SERVE AS DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY, EACH TO HOLD OFFICE UNTIL OUR NEXT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS.
 
The Company's Articles of Association provide for a Board of Directors consisting of no less than two and no more than eleven members. Our Board of Directors is currently composed of 6 directors (prior to this Meeting), including two external director appointed in accordance with the Companies Law. Our directors, other than our external directors, are elected at each annual meeting of shareholders. All the members of our Board of Directors (except the external directors who may be re-elected pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions stipulated in the Companies Law) may be re-elected upon completion of their term of office.
 
At the Meeting, our shareholders are being asked to re-elect Mr. Amos Malka, Mr. Ron Ben Haim, Mr. Ami Boehm and Ms. Dafna Gruber to serve as directors of the Company, to hold office until our next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Under the Companies Law, the Board of Directors of a public company is required to determine the minimum number of directors with “accounting and financial expertise” who will serve on the board. Our Board of Directors determined that at least two directors must have “accounting and financial expertise” as such term is defined by regulations promulgated under the Companies Law. The Board of Directors determined that Ami Boehm. Ron Ben Haim, Avi Shani and Dafna Gruber all have “accounting and financial expertise”.  Furthermore, our audit committee determined on August 20th 2013 that Ms. Dafna Gruber qualifies as an “independent” director within the meaning of this term under the Companies Law.
 
We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. As such, we are exempt from the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules requirement that a majority of a company’s Board of Directors must qualify as independent directors within the meaning of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. We are also exempt from the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules requirement regarding the process for the nomination of directors; instead, we follow Israeli law and practice in accordance with which directors are proposed by the Board of Directors and elected by the shareholders, unless otherwise provided in a company’s articles of association. Our articles of association provide that the directors (except the external directors) may also be appointed by a vote of a majority of directors then in office. Our practice has been that our director nominees are presented in our proxy statement for election at our annual meetings of shareholders.

The Company's authorized share capital is currently 9,000,000 NIS, consisting of 10,000,000 Ordinary Shares, NIS 0.90 par value per share.
 
The Board of Directors recommends that at the General Meeting, the shareholders approve an amendment to the Company's Articles of Association increasing the authorized share capital of the Company by an additional 3,000,000 Ordinary Shares such that the authorized share capital shall be NIS 11,700,000,  consisting of 13,000,000 Ordinary Shares Ordinary Shares, NIS 0.90 par value per share. The Board of Directors believes that the proposed increase in the Company's share capital is necessary to ensure that the Company will have sufficient authorized share capital available to pursue opportunities in the future without undue delay and expenses. These opportunities could include, without limitation, to make future grants under the Company's Amended and Restated 2012 stock option plan, as amended.
 
We propose to amend our Articles of Association in the manner set forth on Appendix B.
 
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution:
 
RESOLVED, TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION INCREASING THE AUTHORIZED SHARE CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY FROM NIS 9,000,000, CONSISTING OF 10,000,000 ORDINARY SHARES, NIS 0.90 PER VALUE PER SHARE, TO NIS 11,700,000, CONSISTING OF 13,000,000 ORDINARY SHARES, NIS 0.90 PER VALUE PER SHARE."
 
ITEM 4: APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED COMPANY'S 2012 STOCK OPTION PLAN.
 
Our 2012 stock option plan was filed as an Exhibit to the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-189758), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2, 2013 and on Form S-8 (File No. 333-208990), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 14, 2016.
 
The Company's compensation committee, followed by the Board of Directors, approved the amended and restated company's 2012 Stock Option Plan (the "Amended and Restated Company's 2012 Stock Option Plan"). The proposed Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Option Plan, marked to show the proposed changes from the existing option plan, is attached hereto as Appendix C.
 
The main amendments in the Amended and Restated Company's 2012 Stock Option Plan are as follows: (a) Increase the maximum number of Ordinary Shares of the Company that may be issued under the Amended and Restated Company's 2012 Stock Option Plan, by an additional 300,000 Ordinary Shares such that after the increase the option pool shall be equal to an aggregate amount of 980,000 Ordinary Shares and the annual participation limits have been erased; (b) customary adjustments in case of events of dividends or distribution of other rights or recapitalization events (such as stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, combination or reclassification of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin‑off, reorganization, etc.; and (c) The New Plan also provides for an “Incentive Stock Option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code for preferential tax treatment under U.S. tax laws.

It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution:
 
"RESOLVED, TO APPROVE, THE AMENDED AND RESTATED COMPANY'S 2012 STOCK OPTION PLAN IN THE FORM ATTACHED HERETO AS APPENDIX C".

ITEM 5: APPROVAL OF GRANT OF OPTIONS TO PURCHASE SHARES OF THE COMPANY TO MR. IGAL ZAMIR, THE COMPANY’S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER.
 
The Companies Law requires that the terms of service and employment of a company’s chief executive officer be approved by the company’s compensation committee, the board of directors and the shareholders of the company, except in the limited circumstances set forth in the Companies Law.
 
It is proposed to grant options to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company to Mr. Igal Zamir, the Company's Chief Executive Officer.
 
Mr. Igal Zamir has served as the Company's Chief Executive Officer since April 30, 2016. In light of Mr. Igal Zamir's contribution to the Company, and in accordance with the Company's compensation policy, the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee have determined that the proposed grant of options described below is appropriate, reasonable and reflect the significant contribution of Mr. Igal Zamir to the Company.
 
When discussing the proposed grant of options to Mr. Igal Zamir, the compensation committee and the Board of Directors took into consideration, inter alia: (a) Mr. Igal Zamir has been leading the Company from April 2016 until today; (b) the Company's strategic milestones achieved during the last year thanks to Mr. Igal Zamir's leadership and contribution; (c) the options' exercise price is congruent with the Company's benefit and the Company's overall strategy over time; and (d) the grant of options complies with the Company's compensation policy.
 
The proposal to grant Mr. Igal Zamir 100,000 options to purchase 100,000 of our Ordinary Shares (the “Options”).  The Options are exercisable at a price per share, which is 16 US$ which is higher by 115% above the average closing price of the Company's shares in the 30 trading days preceding the date of the Board of Directors' approval of the equity grant (which is 7.43 US$). The options will vest during a term of four years as follows: 25% of the Options shall vest after 12 months of the date of grant and 6.25% of the Options shall vest at the end of each 3 months after the first anniversary of the date of grant, as long as Mr. Zamir's employment with the Company continues and will remain exercisable for 90 days following cessation or termination of his employment with the Company (other than for cause). The options will expire on the five anniversary of the date of the grant.
 
10

 
In the event of a “change in control” during his term of service as Chief Executive Officer, any options unvested at such time, will vest immediately. A “change in control” means: (1) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets; or (2) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's Ordinary Shares; or (3) any merger or transaction in which a third party becomes the holder of the largest percentage of Ordinary Shares of the Company instead of the controlling shareholder (as defined in the Israeli Securities Law, 5728-1968) prior to the merger or transaction.
 
The grant of options complies with the Company's compensation policy for executive officers and directors.
 
It should be noted that this Item was approved by our Board of Directors pursuant to the recommendation of our Compensation Committee and it is subject to approval by our shareholders. Our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR" this resolution.
 
It is proposed that at the General Meeting, the following resolution be adopted:
 
“RESOLVED, TO APPROVE THE GRANT OF 100,000 OPTIONS TO MR. IGAL ZAMIR, THE COMPANY’S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, EXERCISABLE INTO ORDINARY SHARES OF THE COMPANY AS DESCRIBED IN THE PROXY STATEMENT.”
 
ITEM 6: APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT OF MR. IGAL ZAMIR, THE COMPANY’S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER.
 
The Companies Law requires that the terms of service and employment of a company’s chief executive officer be approved by the company’s compensation committee, the board of directors and the shareholders of the company, except in the limited circumstances set forth in the Companies Law.
 
It is proposed to amend the employment agreement of Mr. Igal Zamir, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, in such a manner that the Company shall pay Mr. Zamir a certain cash amount, pursuant to a mechanism set forth below in the proposed amendment, upon the exercise (if any) of options granted to Mr. Zamir by the Company to purchase its Ordinary Shares. 
 
Since Mr. Zamir is a U.S. resident for U.S. tax purposes and therefore is not able to enjoy, like other office holders of the Company who are Israeli residents for tax purposes, the adjustments to the exercise price of Company options for cash dividends as provided in the Company's Option Plan, the purpose of the proposed amendment is to compensate Mr. Igal Zamir for his inability to enjoy the benefit of such adjustments to the exercise price of the options granted to him by the Company. 
 
11

 
It is proposed that the following provision be added to Mr. Zamir's employment agreement:
 
""Within 30 days following the date that the Employee duly exercises options to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares" and "Option Exercise", respectively), the Company shall pay such employee a cash amount equal to the product of (A) the number of Ordinary Shares into which the Employee exercises his or her option in such Option Exercise, multiplied by (B) the aggregate amount of dividend per Ordinary Share actually distributed to the Company's shareholders from the date of grant of the options exercised by Employee in such Option Exercise until the date of the Option Exercise. 
 
For removal of any doubt, the mechanism in this Section shall also apply with respect to options outstanding on the date this Section is added to the Employment Agreement and shall be properly adjusted for any stock splits, stock combination or the distribution of bonus shares in the Company. The mechanism in this Section shall not apply to Employee to the extent Employee will benefit from the adjustment of the exercise price to cash dividends as set forth in Section 4.2(d) of the Company's Stock Option Plan."
 
It should be noted that this Item was approved by our Board of Directors pursuant to the recommendation of our Compensation Committee and it is subject to approval by our shareholders. Our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR" this resolution.
 
It is proposed that at the General Meeting, the following resolution be adopted:
 
“RESOLVED, TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO THE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT OF MR. IGAL ZAMIR, THE COMPANY’S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, AS DESCRIBED IN THE PROXY STATEMENT.”
 
OTHER BUSINESS
 
In addition to voting on Items 1 through 6 as described above, the shareholders will be invited to discuss at the Meeting the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.
 
Management knows of no other business to be acted upon at the Meeting. However, if any other business properly comes before the Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote upon such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
 
Should changes be made to any Item on the agenda for the Meeting after the publication of this Proxy Statement, we will communicate the changes to our shareholders through the publication of a press release, a copy of which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 6-K and with the Israeli Securities Authority.
 
By the Order of the Board of Directors,

Any Ordinary Shares acquired upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option by a permissible transferee of a Non-Qualified Stock Option or a permissible transferee pursuant to a Transfer after the exercise of the Non-Qualified Stock Option shall be subject to the terms of this Plan and the applicable Award agreement.

        (g)  (h)       Termination by Death, Disability or Retirement. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant and specifically stated in the Option Agreement, or if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter, if Participant’s Termination is by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, all Stock Options that are held by such Participant (or, if relevant, by a Trustee under Section 102 of the Ordinance) that are vested and exercisable at the time of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised by the Participant (or, in the case of death, by the legal representative of the Participant’s estate) at any time within a period of one year from the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the Exercise Period of such Stock Options; provided, however, that in the case of Retirement, if the Participant dies within such Exercise Period, all unexercised Stock Options held by such Participant shall thereafter be exercisable, to the extent to which they were exercisable at the time of death, for a period of one year from the date of such death, but in no event beyond the expiration of the Exercise Period of such Stock Options.
 
        (h)  (i)   Involuntary Termination Without Cause.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant and specifically stated in the Option Agreement, or if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter, if a Participant’s Termination is by involuntary termination without Cause or Participant’s Termination is voluntary (other than a voluntary termination described in subsection (k)(y) below), all Stock Options that are held by such Participant (or, if relevant, by a Trustee under Section 102 of the Ordinance) that are vested and exercisable at the time of the Participant’s Termination may be exercised by the Participant at any time within a period of 90 days from the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the Exercise Period of such Stock Options.

        (k)  (l)       Unvested  Stock  Options.  Unless  otherwise  determined  by  the Committee at grant and specifically stated in the  OptionAward Agreement, or if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter, Stock Options that are not vested as of the date of a Participant’s Termination for any reason shall terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination.

To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Ordinary Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an Eligible Employee during any calendar year under this Plan and/or any other stock option plan of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.  If the Code is amended to provide for a different limitation from that set forth in this Section, such different limitation shall be deemed incorporated herein effective as of the date and with respect to such Options as required or permitted by such amendment to the Code. If an Option is treated as an ISO in part and as a NQSO in part by reason of the limitation set forth in this Section, the Participant may designate which portion of such Option the Participant is exercising. In the absence of such designation, the Participant shall be deemed to have exercised the ISO portion of the Option first.  Separate certificates representing each such portion may be issued upon the exercise of the Option. Should any provision of this Plan not be necessary in order for the Stock Options to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, or should any additional provisions be required, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend this Plan accordingly, without the necessity of obtaining the approval of the stockholders of the Company.

C - 16

The Committee, at the written request of any Participant, may in its discretion after verifying the implications of applicable tax law including the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder as now in effect or as hereafter amended, take such actions as may be necessary to convert such Participant’s ISOs (or any portions thereof) that have not been exercised on the date of conversion into NQSOs at any time prior to the expiration of such ISOs, regardless of whether the Participant is an Employee of the Company or a Parent or a Subsidiary at the time of such conversion. Such actions may include, but not be limited to, extending the exercise period. At the time of such conversion, the Committee (with the consent of the Participant)  may impose such conditions on the exercise of the resulting NQSOs as the Committee in its discretion may determine, provided that such conditions shall not be inconsistent with the Plan. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant the right to have such Participant’s ISOs converted into NQSOs, and no such conversion shall occur unless and until the Committee takes appropriate action. The Committee, with the consent of the Participant, may also terminate any portion of any ISO that has not been exercised at the time of such conversion.

Each Employee who receives an Incentive Stock Option must agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after the Employee makes a Disqualifying  Disposition of any Shares acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. A “Disqualifying Disposition” is any disposition (including any sale) of such Shares before the later of (a) two (2) years after the date the Employee was granted the Incentive Stock Option, and (b) one (1) year after the date the Employee acquired Shares by exercising the Incentive Stock Option. If the Employee has died before such Share is sold, these holding period requirements do not apply and no Disqualifying Disposition can occur thereafter.
 
         (m)  (n)     Form, Modification, Extension and Renewal of Stock Options. Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of this Plan, Stock Options shall be evidenced by such an  OptionAward Agreement, and the Committee may, in its sole discretion (i) subject to Section 8.1(d) and the applicable law, modify, extend or renew outstanding Stock Options  granted  under  this  Plan  (provided   that  the  rights  of  a  Participant   are  not reducedmaterially and adversely affected without his or her consent  and provided that such action does not extend the Stock Option beyond its stated term), and (ii) accept the surrender of outstanding Stock Options (up to the extent not theretofore exercised) and authorize the granting of new Stock Options in substitution therefor (to the extent not theretofore exercised). Notwithstanding); provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent required by applicable law or stock exchange regulation, an outstanding Option may not be modified to reduce the exercise price thereof  or to extend the Stock Option beyond its stated term nor may a new Option at a lower price be substituted for a surrendered Option (other than adjustments or substitutions in accordance with Section 4.2), unless such action is approved by the stockholders of the Company.

         (n)  (o)      Other Terms and Conditions.  Stock Options may contain such other provisions, which shall not be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate.

C - 17

         (b)       The Company may grant only one type of 102 Trustee Option at any given time to all Participants who are to be granted 102 Trustee Options pursuant to this Plan, and shall file an election with the ITA regarding the type of 102 Trustee Option it elects to grant before the date of grant of any 102 Trustee Options (the “Election”). Such Election shall also apply to any bonus shares received by any Participant as a result of holding the 102 Trustee Options. The Company may change the type of 102 Trustee Option that it elects to grant only after the passage of at least
12 months from the end of the year in which the first grant was made in accordance with the previous Election, or as otherwise provided by applicable law. Any Election shall not prevent the Company from granting Options, pursuant to Section 102(c) of the Ordinance without a Trustee (“102 Non-Trustee Options”).

         (c)       Each 102 Trustee Option will be deemed granted on the date stated in a written notice to be provided by the Company, provided that on or before such date (i) the Company has provided such notice to the Trustee and (ii) the Participant has signed all documents required pursuant to applicable law and under the Plan.
 
         (d)          Each 102 Trustee Option, each Share issued pursuant to the exercise of any 102 Trustee Option, and any rights granted thereunder, including, without limitation, bonus shares, shall be allotted and issued to and registered in the name of the Trustee and shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Participant for a period of not less than the requisite period prescribed by the Ordinance and the Rules or such longer period as set by the Committee (the “Required Holding Period”). In the event that the requirements under Section 102 to qualify an Stock Option as a 102 Trustee Option are not met, then the Stock Option may be treated as a 102 Non-Trustee Option, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 and the Rules. After termination of the Required Holding Period, the Trustee may release such 102 Trustee Option and any such Shares, provided that (i) the Trustee has received an acknowledgment from the ITA that the Grantee has paid any applicable taxes due pursuant to the Ordinance or (ii) the Trustee and/or the Company and/or its Affiliate withholds any applicable taxes due pursuant to the Ordinance arising from the 102 Trustee Options and/or any Shares allotted or issued upon exercise of such 102 Trustee Options. The Trustee shall not release any 102 Trustee Options or Shares issued upon exercise thereof prior to the payment in full of the Participant’s tax liabilities arising from such 102 Trustee Options and/or Shares or the withholding referred to in (ii) above.
 
        (e)       Each 102 Trustee Option shall be subject to the relevant terms of the Ordinance and the Rules, which shall be deemed an integral part of the 102 Trustee Option and shall prevail over any term contained in the Plan or Option Agreement which is not consistent therewith. Any provision of the Ordinance, the Rules and any approvals by the Income Tax Commissioner not expressly specified in this Plan or Option Agreement which, as determined by the Committee, are necessary to receive or maintain any tax benefit pursuant to Section 102 shall be binding on the Participant. The Participant granted a 102 Trustee Option shall comply with the Ordinance and the terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement entered into between the Company and the Trustee. The Participant agrees to execute any and all documents, which the Company and/or its Affiliates and/or the Trustee may reasonably determine to be necessary in order to comply with the Ordinance and the Rules.
 
        (f)        During the Required Holding Period, the Participants shall not release from trust or sell, assign, transfer or give as collateral, the Shares issuable upon the exercise of a 102 Trustee Option and/or any securities issued or distributed with respect thereto, until the expiration of the Required Holding Period. Notwithstanding the above, if any such sale or release occurs during the Required Holding Period it will result in adverse tax consequences to the Participant under Section 102 of the Ordinance and the Rules, which shall apply to and shall be borne solely by such Participant. Subject to the foregoing, the Trustee may, pursuant to a written request from the Participant, release and transfer such Shares to a designated third party, provided that both of the following conditions have been fulfilled prior to such release or transfer: (i) payment has been made to the ITA of all taxes required to be paid upon the release and transfer of the Shares, and confirmation of such payment has been received by the Trustee and (ii) the Trustee has received written confirmation from the Company that all requirements for such release and transfer have been fulfilled according to the terms of the Company’s corporate documents, the Plan, the Option Agreement and any applicable law.
 
C - 18

(g)       If a 102 Trustee Option is exercised during the Required Holding Period, the Shares issued upon such exercise shall be issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Participant. If such 102 Trustee Option is exercised after the expiration of the Required Holding Period, the Shares issued upon such exercise shall, at the election of the Participant, either (i) be issued in the name of the Trustee, or (ii) be issued to the Participant, provided that the Participant first complies with all applicable provisions of the Plan and all taxes with respect thereto shall have been fully paid to the ITA.

(h)       The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4 relating to 102 Trustee Options shall not apply with respect to 102 Non-Trustee Options, which shall, however, be subject to the relevant provisions of Section 102 and the Rules.
 
(i)        Upon receipt of a 102 Trustee Option, the Participant will sign an undertaking to release the Trustee from any liability with respect to any action or decision duly taken and executed in good faith by the Trustee in relation to the Plan, or any 102 Trustee Option or Share granted to such Participant thereunder.
