Following the lapse of 36 months, all the Options may be exercised (the "Vesting Period"), subject to continued engagement of Mr. Jonathan Schapiro during the Vesting Period.

| 5.4.2 | Pursuant to the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange directives, owing to the transition to clearing on day T+1 of unlisted shares and convertible securities, there will be no conversion of options on the determining day for a distribution of bonus shares, offering by way of rights, dividend distribution, capital consolidation, capital split or capital reduction (each of the above will hereinafter be referred to as "Company Event").

|  | It should be noted that, in each case, the exercise price shall be adjusted so as not to be below the share par value.

| c. | In the event of the Company's dissolution, the Board of Directors or the Committee appointed by it shall notify the option holders to that effect, by giving 15 days prior notice at least, during which period the option holders may exercise the entire options in their possession whose Vesting Period has not yet lapsed. In the event of failure to exercise their right during the said period, the options will expire.

| d. | Where the Company receives an offer to effect a transaction, whether by way of acquiring the shares of the Company or otherwise, the outcome of which will be a change in control, the option holders may exercise the entire options in their possession within a period of 6 months commencing on the date of effecting the transaction and/or the date of fulfillment of the conditions precedent.

Assuming that the full amount of Options is exercised, the shares deriving from the said exercise will constitute 0.12% of the issued and paid up capital, and 0.12% on a fully diluted basis.

Additionally the Company may purchase D&O Insurance Policy liability limit higher than US$10 million in the United States, provided that the annual premium paid by the Company shall not exceed the amount of the premium as stated above.

As long as the Company has D&O Insurance Policy in effect, each of the directors and/or officers who have left the Company will be included in the said policy until lapse of 7 years from the date of their departure, provided the terms of the D&O Insurance Policy will not diminish significantly the D&O Insurance Policy conditions which were existed in the eve of their departure from the Company (more than 10% change). In the event that the Company will cease in the future from entering into a D&O Insurance Policy to cover the liability of directors and officers or the terms of the D&O Insurance Policy will be significantly lower (more than 10% change) than the D&O Insurance Policy existed before their departure, the Company commits to purchase for such directors and officers run-off insurance for the remaining period of up to 7 years from the date of departure of the director and/or officer and in the conditions of the D&O Insurance Policy that existed in the eve of their departure, and at a total cost which will not exceed twice the annual D&O Insurance Policy premium cost.
