Companies Law also requires that indemnification of the Company&#146;s officers and
procurement of insurance coverage for the Company&#146;s officers be approved by the
Company&#146;s Audit Committee and its Board of Directors and, if the officer is a
director, by its shareholders. The Company&#146;s Audit Committee and the Board of
Directors resolved on August 14, and September 5, 2002 respectively, to undertake to
indemnify the Company&#146;s officers, including its directors, and Shareholders&#146;approval
with respect to the undertaking to indemnify the members of the Company&#146;s Board of
Directors was granted on October 31, 2002. Pursuant to these approvals, the Company has
obtained insurance for its officers and provided them with indemnification undertakings
in accordance with its Articles of Association.  </FONT></P>
