14.7. | The Board may at any time, before any share so forfeited or surrendered shall have been sold, re-issued or otherwise disposed of, nullify the forfeiture or surrender on such conditions as it deems fit, but no such nullification shall stop the Board from re-exercising its powers of forfeiture pursuant to this Article 14.

15.2. | The Board may cause the Company to sell a share subject to such a lien when the debt, liability or engagement giving rise to such lien has matured, in such manner as the Board deems fit, but no such sale shall be made unless such debt, liability or engagement has not been satisfied within fourteen (14) days after written notice of the intention to sell shall have been served on such Shareholder, his or her executors or administrators.

The Board may execute any power of the Company that is not specifically allocated by the Statutes or by these Articles to another organ of the Company.

| (b) | Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board may, from time to time, set aside any amount(s) out of the profits of the Company as a reserve or reserves for any purpose(s) which the Board, in its absolute discretion, shall deem fit, including without limitation, capitalization and distribution of bonus shares, and may invest any sum so set aside in any manner and from time to time deal with and vary such investments and dispose of all or any part thereof, and employ any such reserve or any part thereof in the business of the Company without being bound to keep the same separate from other assets of the Company, and may subdivide or re-designate any reserve or cancel the same or apply the funds therein for another purpose, all as the Board may from time to time think fit.

Page 13

| (c) | The number of directors on the Board shall be no less than three (3) but no more than nine (9), including any External Directors required to be appointed by the Companies Law (if required). A reduction of the maximum number of directors on the Board under this Article 22.1(c), shall not affect the term in office of serving directors determined prior to such reduction.

| (d) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Article 22.1 may only be amended or replaced by a resolution adopted by the Special Majority.

| (e) | The directors, excluding the External Directors, shall be classified, with respect to the term for which they each severally hold office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number as practicable, hereby designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. The Board may assign members of the Board already in office to such classes at the time such classification becomes effective.

| (1) | The term of office of the initial Class I directors shall expire at the first Annual Meeting to be held in 2022 and when their successors are elected and qualified;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each director shall serve until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until such earlier time as such director’s office is vacated.

| (g) | The Board may at any time and from time to time appoint any person as a director to fill a vacancy (whether such vacancy is due to a director no longer serving or due to the number of directors serving being less than the maximum number stated in Article 22.1(c) above). In the event of one or more such vacancies in the Board, the continuing directors may continue to act in every matter; provided, however, that if their number is less than the minimum number provided for pursuant to Article 22.1(c) above, they may only act in an urgent matter or to fill the office of a director which has become vacant up to a number equal to the minimum number provided for pursuant to Article 22.1(c) above. The office of a director that was appointed by the Board to fill any vacancy shall only be for the remaining period of time during which the director whose service has ended was filled would have held office, or in case of a vacancy due to the number of directors serving being less than the maximum number stated in Article 22.1(c) above, the Board shall determine at the time of appointment the class pursuant to Article 22.1(e) above, to which the additional director shall be assigned. Other than as provided in this Article 22.1(g) directors may be elected only at Annual Meetings.

| (i) | Any Proposing Shareholder requesting to include on the agenda of a General Meeting a nomination of a Person to be proposed to the Shareholders for election as director (such person, an “Alternate Nominee”), may so request provided that it complies with this Article and Article 19.4 and applicable law. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a Proposal Request relating to an Alternate Nominee is deemed to be a matter that is appropriate to be considered only at an Annual Meeting. In addition to any information required to be included in accordance with applicable law, such a Proposal Request shall include information required pursuant to Article 19.4, and shall also set forth: (i) the name, address, telephone number and email address of the Alternate Nominee and all citizenships and residencies of the Alternate Nominee; (ii) a description of all arrangements, relations or understandings during the past three (3) years, and any other material relationships, between the Proposing Shareholder(s) or any of its affiliates and each Alternate Nominee; (iii) a declaration signed by the Alternate Nominee that he consents to be named in the Company’s notices and proxy materials relating to the General Meeting, if provided or published, and, if elected, to serve on the Board and to be named in the Company’s disclosures and filings, (iv) a declaration signed by each Alternate Nominee as required under the Companies Law and any other applicable law and stock exchange rules and regulations for the appointment of such an Alternate Nominee and an undertaking that all of the information that is required under law and stock exchange rules and regulations to be provided to the Company in connection with such an appointment has been provided (including, information in respect of the Alternate Nominee as would be provided in response to the applicable disclosure requirements under the applicable form prescribed by the SEC; (v) a declaration made by the Alternate Nominee of whether he meets the criteria for an independent director and, if applicable, External Director of the Company under the Companies Law and/or under any applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rules, and if not, then an explanation of why not; and (vi) any other information required at the time of submission of the Proposal Request by applicable law, regulations or stock exchange rules.

The Board may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with the foregoing. The Company shall be entitled to publish any information provided by a Proposing Shareholder pursuant to this Article and Article 19, and the Proposing Shareholder shall be responsible for the accuracy and completeness thereof.

Page 15

The Nominees or Alternate Nominees shall be elected by a resolution adopted at the General Meeting at which they are subject for election. Notwithstanding Article ‎19.4(e), in the event of a Contested Election (as defined below), the method of calculation of the votes and the manner in which the resolutions will be presented to the General Meeting shall be determined by the Board in its discretion. In the event that the Board does not or is unable to make a determination on such matter, then the method described in clause (ii) below shall apply. The Board may consider, among other things, the following methods: (i) election of competing slates of director nominees (determined in a manner approved by the Board) by a majority of the voting power represented at the General Meeting in person or by proxy and voting on such competing slates, (ii) election of individual directors by a plurality of the voting power represented at the General Meeting in person or by proxy and voting on the election of directors (which shall mean that the nominees receiving the largest number of “for” votes will be elected in such Contested Election), (iii) election of each nominee by a majority of the voting power represented at the General Meeting in person or by proxy and voting on the election of directors, provided that if the number of such nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, then as among such nominees the election shall be by plurality of the voting power as described above, and (iv) such other method of voting as the Board deems appropriate, including use of a “universal proxy card” listing all Nominees and Alternate Nominees by the Company. For the purposes of these Articles, election of directors at a General Meeting shall be considered a “Contested Election” if the aggregate number of Nominees and Alternate Nominees at such meeting exceeds the total number of Directors to be elected at such meeting, with the determination thereof being made by the Secretary (or, in the absence thereof, by the CEO of the Company) as of the close of the applicable notice of nomination period under Article ‎19.4 or under applicable law, based on whether one or more notice(s) of nomination were timely filed in accordance with Article ‎22.1(j), this Article and applicable law; provided, however, that the determination that an election is a Contested Election shall not be determinative as to the validity of any such notice of nomination; and provided further, that, if, prior to the time of such meeting, one or more notices of nomination of an Alternate Nominee are withdrawn such that the number of candidates for election as director no longer exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the election shall not be considered a Contested Election. At any General Meeting at which Directors are to be elected, each shareholder shall be entitled to cast a number of votes with respect to nominees for election to the Board up to the total number of Directors to be elected at such meeting. Shareholders shall not be entitled to cumulative voting in the election of Directors, except to the extent specifically set forth in this Article.

| (j) | The term of office of a director shall commence on the date of such director’s election by the Annual Meeting or by the Board or on a later date, should such date be determined in the resolution of appointment of the Annual Meeting or of the Board.

31.1. | The Board may from time declare, and cause the Company to pay, such dividend as may appear to the Board to be justified by the profits of the Company and as permitted by the Companies Law. The Board shall determine the time for payment of such dividends and the record date for determining the shareholders entitled thereto.

31.2. | Subject to the provisions of these Articles and subject to the rights or 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, any dividend paid by the Company shall be allocated among the shareholders entitled thereto in proportion to their respective holdings of the shares in respect of which such dividends are being paid.

31.3. | No dividend of the Company shall accrue interest.

31.4. | The Board may determine that the Company (i) may cause any moneys, investments, or other assets forming part of the undivided profits of the Company, standing to the credit of a reserve fund, or to the credit of a reserve fund for the redemption of capital, or in the hands of the Company and available for dividends, or representing premiums received on the issuance of shares and standing to the credit of the share premium account, to be capitalized and distributed among such of the Shareholders as would be entitled to receive the same if distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportion, on the footing that they become entitled thereto as capital; and (ii) may cause such distribution or payment to be accepted by such Shareholders in full satisfaction of their interest in the said capitalized sum.

31.5. | All unclaimed dividends or other moneys payable in respect of a share may be invested or otherwise made use of by the Board for the benefit of the Company until claimed. The payment by the Directors of any unclaimed dividend or such other moneys into a separate account shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof, and any dividend unclaimed after a period of seven (7) years from the date of declaration of such dividend, and any such other moneys unclaimed after a like period from the date the same were payable, shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company, provided, however, that the Board may, at its discretion, cause the Company to pay any such dividend or such other moneys, or any part thereof, to a person who would have been entitled thereto had the same not reverted to the Company. The principal (and only the principal) of any unclaimed dividend of such other moneys shall be, if claimed, paid to a person entitled thereto.

31.6. | Any dividend or other moneys payable in cash in respect of a share may be paid by check or payment order sent through the post to, or left at, the registered address of the person entitled thereto or by transfer to a bank account specified by such person (or, if two or more persons are registered as joint holders of such share or are entitled jointly thereto in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder or otherwise, to the joint holder whose name is registered first in the Register or his bank account or the person who the Company may then recognize as the owner thereof or entitled thereto under these Articles, as applicable, or such person’s bank account), or to such person and at such other address as the person entitled thereto may by writing direct, or in any other manner the Board deems appropriate. Every such check or warrant or other method of payment shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent, or to such person as the person entitled thereto as aforesaid may direct, and payment of the check or warrant by the banker upon whom it is drawn shall be a good discharge to the Company.

31.7. | The Board may settle, as it deems fit, any difficulty arising with regard to the distribution of dividends, bonus shares or otherwise, and in particular, to issue certificates for fractions of shares and sell such fractions of shares in order to pay their consideration to those entitled thereto, or to set the value for the distribution of certain assets and to determine that cash payments shall be paid to the Shareholders on the basis of such value, or that fractions whose value is less than NIS 0.01 shall not be taken into account. The Board may instruct to pay cash or convey these certain assets to a trustee in favor of those people who are entitled to a dividend, as the Board shall deem appropriate.

31.8. | The Board may deduct from any dividend or other moneys payable to any Shareholder in respect of a share any and all sums of money then payable by him or her to the Company on account of calls or otherwise in respect of shares of the Company and/or on account of any other matter of transaction whatsoever.

| (a) | The Board may retain any dividend or other moneys payable or property distributable in respect of a share on which the Company has a lien, and may apply the same in or toward satisfaction of the debts, liabilities, or engagements in respect of which the lien exists.

| (b) | The Board may retain any dividend or other moneys payable or property distributable in respect of a share in respect of which any person is, under Article 11, entitled to become a Shareholder, or which any person is, under said Article, entitled to transfer, until such person shall become a Shareholder in respect of such share or shall transfer the same.

Page 23

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

32. | REDEEMABLE SECURITIES

The Company may, subject to applicable law, issue redeemable securities and redeem the same upon terms and conditions to be set forth in a written agreement between the Company and the holder of such securities or in their terms of issuance.

33. | ACCOUNTS

The Company’s books of account shall be kept at the office of the Company, or at such other place or places as the Board may think fit, and they shall always be open to inspection by all directors. No shareholder, not being a director, shall have any right to inspect any account or book or other similar document of the Company, except as conferred by law or authorized by the Board. The Company shall make copies of its annual financial statements available for inspection by the shareholders at the Office of the Company. The Company shall not be required to send copies of its annual financial statements to its shareholders.

34. | DONATIONS

The Company may make donations of reasonable amounts, as the Board may determine in its discretion, to worthy causes, even if such donations are not within the framework of business considerations for maximizing the Company’s profits.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, subject to the provisions of the Statutes, a notice to a shareholder (including a notice by the Company of a General Meeting) may be served, as a general notice to all shareholders, published by the Company on the website of (i) the SEC and/or (ii) the Company, in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of any stock market upon which the Company’s shares are listed and, if so published, shall be deemed to have been duly given on the date of such publication to any shareholder.

In cases where it is necessary to give advance notice of a particular number of days or notice which shall remain in effect for a particular period, the day the notice was sent shall be excluded and the scheduled day of the meeting or the last date of the period shall be included in the count.

The Company shall not be required to give notice to its registered shareholders pursuant to the Companies Law, unless otherwise required by the Statutes. Subject to the Statutes, the Company shall not be required to send notices to any shareholder who is not registered in the Register or has not provided the Company with accurate and sufficient mailing details.

35.3. | Any notice or other document served upon or sent to any shareholder in accordance with these Articles shall, notwithstanding that he be then deceased or bankrupt, and whether the Company received notice of his death or bankruptcy or not, be deemed to be duly served or sent in respect of any shares held by him (either alone or jointly with others) until some other person is registered in his stead as the holder or joint holder of such shares, and such service or sending shall be a sufficient service or sending on or to his heirs, executors, administrators or assigns and all other persons (if any) interested in such share.

35.4. | The accidental omission to give notice to any shareholder or the non-receipt of any such notice shall not cancel or annul any action made in reliance on the notice.

36. | WINDING-UP

If the Company is wound up, then, subject to applicable law and to the rights of the holders of shares with special rights upon winding up, the assets of the Company available for distribution among the shareholders shall be distributed to them in proportion to the nominal value of their respective holdings of the shares in respect of which such distribution is being made.
