NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

The Merger

SECTION 1.1. The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement, and the applicable provisions of the Israeli Companies Law, at the Effective Time Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with Section 323 of the Israeli Companies Law, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease, and the Company shall be the company surviving the Merger and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Corporation”).

SECTION 1.2. Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place as promptly as reasonably practicable (but no later than the fifth business day) after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at

such time), at the offices of Gross, Kleinhendler, Hodak, Halevy, Greenberg & Co., One Azrieli Center, Tel Aviv, Israel, unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. The date of the Closing is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

SECTION 1.3. Effective Time. Immediately following the Closing, Merger Sub and the Company shall deliver to the Registrar of Companies of the State of Israel (the “Companies Registrar”) a notice informing the Companies Registrar of the Merger and requesting the Companies Registrar to issue a certificate evidencing the completion of the Merger in accordance with Section 323(5) of the Israeli Companies Law (the “Certificate of Merger”). The parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Certificate of Merger on, or as soon as possible after, the Closing Date. The Merger shall become effective upon the issuance and delivery by the Companies Registrar of the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law. The time at which the Merger becomes effective is referred to in this Agreement as the “Effective Time.”

SECTION 1.4. Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the Israeli Companies Law and this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, (a) all properties, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, (b) all debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Surviving Corporation and (c) all properties, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Surviving Corporation shall continue unaffected by the Merger in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law.

SECTION 1.5. Articles of Association of the Surviving Corporation. The articles of association of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the articles of association of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

SECTION 1.6. Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation.

(a) Effective as of the Effective Time, each member of the respective Boards of Directors (or equivalent governing bodies) of the Company and (to the extent entitled to be appointed or removed by the Company) its Subsidiaries shall resign or be removed and replaced with successors selected by Parent. Each of the parties hereto shall take all reasonable action necessary to cause the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time to be the directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the articles of association of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) The parties hereto shall take all reasonable actions necessary so that from and after the Effective Time, the individuals designated by Parent not later than five days prior to the Closing Date shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, until their respective successors are duly appointed or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the articles of association of the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 1.7. Approval Procedures. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Merger and the other Transactions will be consummated in accordance with Section 314 through Section 327 of the Israeli Companies Law.

ARTICLE II

Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock of Constituent Corporations; Exchange of

Certificates; Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Company Warrants

SECTION 2.1. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of ordinary shares, par value NIS 1 per share, of the Company (“Company Ordinary Shares”) or any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable ordinary share of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing the shares of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of ordinary shares of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) Company Ordinary Shares. Each issued and outstanding Company Ordinary Share shall be converted into the right to receive from Parent $8.43 in cash per Company Ordinary Share without interest (the amount payable to a holder of Company Ordinary Shares as a result of the Merger, the “Merger Consideration,” which shall be subject to withholding for Taxes as provided in Section 2.2(g)). As of the Effective Time, each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Ordinary Shares (each, a “Certificate”), and each beneficial owner of any Book-Entry Company Shares, shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Certificate or the Company Ordinary Shares formerly represented thereby or to such Book-Entry Company Shares, as applicable, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2(b). Subject to the penultimate sentence of Section 2.2(e), if, at any time after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

SECTION 2.2. Surrender and Payment Procedures.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an Israeli based bank or trust company to act as paying agent for the holders of Company Ordinary Shares in connection with the Merger (the “Paying Agent”). The Paying Agent shall receive, and hold in trust for the benefit of holders of Company Ordinary Shares, the aggregate Merger Consideration to which holders of Company Ordinary Shares are entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(b). Parent shall deposit such aggregate Merger Consideration with the Paying Agent not later than one business day following the Effective Time. Pending its disbursement to such holders, the Paying Agent shall invest the Merger Consideration deposited with it as directed by Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation; provided, that, (i) no such

investment shall relieve Parent or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by this Article II, (ii) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made to the former Company shareholders pursuant to this Article II, and (iii) such investments shall be in (A) short-term obligations of the United States of America with maturities of no more than 30 days or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America or (B) a AAA-rated money-market fund. Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, the Merger Consideration deposited with the Paying Agent shall be payable to Parent or as Parent otherwise directs.

(b) Paying Agent Payment Procedures. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall instruct the Paying Agent to, as promptly as reasonably practicable (but not later than the second business day) after the Effective Time:

(i) release to the Company’s registration company (the “Registration Company”), for the benefit of the beneficial owners of Company Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are registered in the name of the Registration Company for the benefit of TASE members (“Book Entry Company Shares”), cash in an amount equal to the product of (A) the Merger Consideration payable per Company Ordinary Share, multiplied by (B) the number of Book Entry Company Shares (the product of (A) and (B), the “Book-Entry Fund”). The Registration Company shall promptly deliver the Book-Entry Fund to the TASE clearinghouse, which shall deliver the respective and appropriate portion of the Book-Entry Fund to each of the beneficial owners of Book Entry Company Shares in accordance with applicable customary stock surrender and payment procedures and regulations of TASE; and

(ii) mail to each holder of record of a Certificate, excluding any Certificate representing Company Ordinary Shares held of record by the Registration Company, (i) a letter which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery to the Paying Agent of the Certificates and any properly completed and validly executed documents reasonably required by the Paying Agent, and which shall be in such form and shall have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration for the Company Ordinary Shares formerly represented thereby. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such properly completed and validly executed documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the surrendered Certificate shall forthwith be cancelled in the Company’s books and the surrendering holder shall be promptly paid the Merger Consideration for the Company Ordinary Shares formerly represented by such Certificate. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered or whose name appears on the records of a nominee company (Chevra Le’Rishumim) in accordance with such properly completed and validly executed documents, such payment shall be conditioned upon (A) the Certificate surrendered being properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Parent and (B) the Person requesting such payment (x) having paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the surrendered Certificate or (y) having established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Notwithstanding the

surrender and payment procedure described in this Section 2.2, each Certificate shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration for the Company Ordinary Shares formerly represented thereby as contemplated by this Article II, and any other rights in connection with each such Certificate shall be null and void.

(c) Transfer Books. The Merger Consideration paid in respect of Company Ordinary Shares (whether in the form of Book Entry Company Shares or represented by a Certificate) pursuant to this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Ordinary Shares, and at the Effective Time, the stock transfer books and shareholder register of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books or shareholder register of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. The Paying Agent shall pay the applicable Merger Consideration in exchange for any Company Ordinary Shares formerly represented by a purportedly lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, subject to the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed delivering an affidavit of loss, which affidavit may include at the Surviving Corporation’s discretion, an indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate. Any reference made in this Agreement to a “Certificate” shall include an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof that complies with the foregoing requirements.

(e) Termination of Payment Funds. At any time following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation may require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including the proceeds of any investments with respect thereto) deposited with the Paying Agent which have not been disbursed to the former holders of Company Ordinary Shares, and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Registration Company to return any portion of the Book-Entry Fund not distributed to the beneficial owners of the Book Entry Company Shares, and thereafter such former holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the payment of any Merger Consideration that may be payable with respect to Company Ordinary Shares. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such former shareholders at the time such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing (or the Merger does not become effective) for any reason and any cash has been transmitted to the Paying Agent or the Registration Company prior to termination, such cash together with any interest or other earnings thereon shall promptly be returned to Parent.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of the parties hereto, nor the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly delivered to a Governmental Authority pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Registration Company, the TASE members, the Paying Agent and the Option Trustees shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any former holder of Company Ordinary Shares, Company Warrants, Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights (as the case may be) pursuant to this Agreement, any amounts required to be deducted and withheld from such payments under the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Ordinance”), or under any other applicable state, local, domestic or foreign Law, including, without limitation, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”); provided, however, that the withholding Taxes deduction in Israel shall be at the highest applicable tax rate, unless otherwise indicated to the TASE member, the Surviving Corporation, the Registration Company, the Paying Agent or the Option Trustees, as applicable, in a certificate or other written approval from the ITA which provides a withholding exemption or a reduced Tax rate, in which case the deduction and withholding of any amounts under the Ordinance or any other provision of Israeli law or requirement, if any, from the aggregate Merger Consideration payable to such holder of record of Company Ordinary Shares shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such approval. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority by or on behalf of Parent or the Surviving Corporation (such as, by a TASE member, the Registration Company, the Paying Agent or the Option Trustees), Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall be treated as though it withheld an appropriate amount of consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any former holder of Company Ordinary Shares, Company Warrants, Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights (as the case may be) and paid an appropriate amount to such Governmental Authority. Any amounts so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid directly to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Parent may apply in its sole discretion to the ITA to seek a pre-ruling for the method of deduction and applicable Tax rules. In no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to pay interest on any amounts payable to holders of Company Ordinary Shares, Company Warrants, Options or Stock Appreciation Rights so long as Parent timely complies with its obligations under Sections 2.2(a) and 2.3(d).

SECTION 2.3. Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Company Warrants.

(a) Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that each option to acquire Company Ordinary Shares (each, an “Option”) and each Stock Appreciation Right issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (i) with an exercise price or base value, as applicable, less than the Merger Consideration payable per Company Ordinary Share (such Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, “In the Money Options”) and that are vested and exercisable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled, terminated and converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive only the Option Consideration for each Company Ordinary Share then subject to such In the Money Options, as the case may be, and (ii) with an exercise price or base value, as applicable, equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration payable per Company Ordinary Share (whether or not vested and exercisable as of the Effective Time) automatically shall be cancelled and terminated at the Effective Time without any

payment or further rights or claims of the holder thereof. All Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that are not exercised prior to the Effective Time or cancelled as provided for in clause (i) or (ii) above (each, a “Continuing Option”) shall be deemed assumed as of the Effective Time by the Surviving Corporation, shall have, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.3(a), the same exercise price or base value, as applicable, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall continue to vest in accordance with the existing vesting schedule of such Continuing Options, but upon exercise, the holders of such Continuing Options will be entitled only to receive the same aggregate Merger Consideration they would have received pursuant to the Merger had such Continuing Options been exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time. In each case, the Option Consideration each holder of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights is entitled to receive for such Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be rounded to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating the cash amounts payable for all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights held by such holder. Upon the Effective Time, all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (other than Continuing Options) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically cease to exist, and each holder of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right (other than Continuing Options) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights to receive any cash payments, as expressly set forth herein. For purposes of the foregoing, the applicable exercise price of each Option and the base value of each Stock Appreciation Right (including in both cases, any Continuing Options deemed assumed by the Surviving Corporation) shall be calculated in U.S. Dollars in accordance with the representative rate of the U.S. Dollar in NIS, as published by the Bank of Israel on the third business day prior to the Closing Date and the linkage to the consumer price index shall cease as of such date.

(b) Company Warrants. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the holders of Company Warrants, each unexpired and unexercised Company Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled, terminated and converted into the right to receive (upon surrender of such Company Warrants for cancellation) only an amount of cash (the “Warrant Consideration”) equal to (i) the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Company Warrant, less (ii) the aggregate exercise price of such Company Warrant. The Warrant Consideration each holder of Company Warrants is entitled to receive for such holder’s Company Warrants shall be rounded to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating the cash amounts payable in the Merger for all Company Warrants held by such holder. Upon the Effective Time, all Company Warrants shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically cease to exist, and each holder of a Company Warrant shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Warrant Consideration upon the surrender thereof as set forth herein.

(c) Payment Timing. Subject to the first sentence of Section 2.3(e), Parent shall pay or cause the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or the Option Trustees, as applicable, to pay the Option Consideration and the Warrant Consideration at or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but, subject in the case of Company Warrants to the surrender thereof prior to payment).

(d) Option Consideration. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, and in any event not later than the second business day thereafter, Parent shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, to the account designated by the applicable Option

Trustee, in cooperation with any plan administrator under the applicable stock option or stock appreciation rights plan of the Company, the aggregate Option Consideration that holders of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (including vested and unvested In the Money Options that are Company 102 Securities) are entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.3(a); provided, that in lieu of making such deposit, Parent may elect to pay such Option Consideration directly to such holders through the Surviving Corporation’s or its applicable Subsidiaries’ ordinary payroll mechanisms or through some other payment procedure, unless such payment mechanism will result in the loss of a Tax benefit otherwise available to the applicable Option or Stock Appreciation Right holder or is prohibited by the terms of the applicable Company Stock Plan or applicable Law. As soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (and except to the extent Parent elects to make such payments directly as contemplated by the preceding provision), the Option Trustee, in coordination with the applicable plan administrator, shall pay to each holder of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (other than holders of Company 102 Securities) the amounts contemplated by Section 2.3(a), without interest and less applicable deductions and withholding for Tax. All payments with respect to Company 102 Securities, as set forth on Section 3.2(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Option Schedule”), shall be delivered, or caused to be delivered, by Parent to the 102 Trustee, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but not later than the second business day thereafter), to be held and distributed pursuant to the agreement with the 102 Trustee, the terms of the respective Company Stock Plan governing the applicable Option or Stock Appreciation Right and applicable Laws (including the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder). The 102 Trustee shall comply with any applicable Israeli Tax withholding requirements with respect to payments in respect of Company 102 Securities and with any procedures required by the Options Tax Ruling, if obtained. Any amounts deposited with the 102 Trustee that are not needed for payment to holders of Options or Stock Appreciation Right or for Taxes shall be returned to Parent or the Surviving Corporation.

(e) Company Stock Plans and Company Warrants. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions and make any amendments to the terms of the Company Stock Plans, Company Warrants and related award agreements, to the extent the Company determines it is required to effect the treatment provided in this Section 2.3, and obtain any consents from holders of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Company Warrants that are necessary to give effect to this Section 2.3 without any liability of Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation (other than the obligations to pay the Option Consideration and Warrant Consideration when required pursuant to this Section 2.3). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary thereof will at the Effective Time (nor will the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries from and after the Effective Time) be bound by any options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, phantom equity awards, warrants or other rights or agreements which would entitle any Person, other than Parent and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, to own or acquire any share capital of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries (other than share capital of Optical Metrology Ltd., Ophir Optronics GmbH and Ophir Japan Ltd. held by other shareholders thereof as of the date hereof as reflected on Section 3.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule) or (except with respect to the payments upon exercise of Continuing Options as described above) to receive any payment in respect thereof. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to terminate all Company Warrants and all Company Stock Plans, other than those under which Continuing Options were granted (and only to the limited extent necessary for the

treatment of Continuing Options provided in Section 2.3(a)), such termination to be effective at or before the Effective Time.

SECTION 2.4. Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article II to the contrary (but without in any way limiting the covenants in Section 5.2 hereof and subject to the exception permitting the issuance of additional Options or Stock Appreciation Rights set forth in the proviso to Section 5.2(a)(i), which shall have no effect on the Merger Consideration), if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the number of outstanding Company Ordinary Shares or securities or other rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Company Ordinary Shares shall increase or be changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of the issuance or grant of additional Company Ordinary Shares, Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Company Warrants or other securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Company Ordinary Shares or the occurrence or record date of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split (including a reverse stock split), combination, exchange of shares or other transaction (but excluding any issuance of Company Ordinary Shares upon exercise of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights or Company Warrants outstanding and disclosed to Parent as of the date of this Agreement), the Merger Consideration payable per Company Ordinary Share and any other dependent items shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such issuance, grant, stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split (including a reverse stock split), combination, exchange of shares or other transaction.

SECTION 2.5. Payment Currency. All payments of Merger Consideration, Option Consideration and Warrant Consideration shall be made in United States Dollars, and any right to receive Merger Consideration shall only entitle the holder of such right to receive the applicable consideration in United States Dollars. Each recipient of Merger Consideration, Option Consideration and Warrant Consideration shall be responsible for making appropriate arrangements to receive such payments in the form of United States Dollars, and, to the extent applicable, any expense incurred as a result of receiving, converting or exchanging such United States Dollar denominated payments into New Israeli Shekels or any other currency, shall be borne solely by the Person entitled to such payment.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties of the Company

The Company represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that, except as expressly set forth in the disclosure schedules delivered by the Company to Parent simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”) (it being understood that any information disclosed in a specific section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated into any other section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule where the relevance of such disclosed information is self-explanatory and it is readily apparent that such disclosure applies to the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement):

SECTION 3.1. Organization, Standing and Corporate Power.

(a) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is a corporation or other organization duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent such status is recognized in such jurisdictions) under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, as the case may be, and has all requisite power and authority necessary to own, lease and operate all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as conducted.

(c) Correct and complete copies of the following documents with respect to each of the Company Plans have been delivered to Parent by the Company to the extent applicable: (i) the plan document (or if such Company Plan is not written, an accurate description of the material terms thereof) and related trust documents, custodial, or insurance contracts or other funding arrangements, and all amendments thereto; (ii) the three most recent Forms 5500, annual information returns and all schedules thereto with respect to Company Plans in which employees of the Company’s United States Subsidiaries are participants; (iii) any annual report, actuarial report, or disclosure materials submitted to any Governmental Authority or distributed to participants or beneficiaries in the current or any of the three preceding calendar years with respect to Company Plans in which employees of the Company’s United States Subsidiaries are participants; (iv) the most recent IRS determination letter and any advisory opinions or rulings by any Governmental Authority, compliance statements, closing agreements, or similar materials specific to such Company Plan, and pending requests relating to any of the foregoing with respect to Company Plans in which employees of the Company’s United States Subsidiaries are participants; (v) the most recent summary plan descriptions, summary of material modifications, and other material communications to current or former employees, consultants, sales agents, independent contractors, or directors regarding any Company Plan; (vi) employee manuals and handbooks; (vii) any written policies or procedures used in Company Plan administration; (viii) any service agreements; (ix) a summary of any dues it pays to the Histadrut Labor Organization and whether the Company or any Subsidiary participates in the expenses of any workers committee (Va’ad Ovdim) and (x) a summary of any dues the Company or its Subsidiaries pays to any employer organization including, without limitation, the Manufacturers Association of Israel.

(d) Except as set forth on Section 3.11(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company Plans have been established and maintained in compliance in all material respects with their terms and with the requirements prescribed (whether as a matter of substantive law or as necessary to secure favorable tax treatment) by all applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code, any and all governmental or court Orders, the Ordinance and other Laws. The Company Plans intended to qualify under Section 401 or other tax-favored treatment under Subchapter B of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code or other applicable Laws are so qualified, and any trusts intended to be exempt from United States federal income taxation or other Tax under the Code or other applicable Laws are so exempt. No event has occurred with respect to the operation of the Company Plans and, to the Knowledge of the Company, no circumstance

exists that could cause the loss of such qualification or exemption, or the imposition of any liability, penalty, Lien or Tax under ERISA, the Code, the Ordinance or any other applicable Laws. To the Knowledge of the Company, no event has occurred and no condition exists that could subject the Company or its Subsidiaries, by reason of their affiliation with any ERISA Affiliate, to any Tax, fine, Lien, penalty or other liability under by ERISA, the Code, the Ordinance or other applicable Laws.

(e) The Company has not employed or retained any employees whose employment would require special licenses, approvals or permits (such as foreign employees). Except as set forth on Section 3.11(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, there are no unwritten Company policies or customs which, by extension, could entitle employees to benefits in addition to what they are entitled by Law or Contract. Except as set forth on Section 3.11(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, there are no compensation increments or components that are wrongly classified (or not accounted for) as such with respect to applicable Tax Laws and are required to be reclassified as salary components. The Company has properly implemented and has applied, as of the commencement date of employment, all terms relating to the terms of its employees’ employment in all material respects.

(f) With respect to each Company Plan for which a separate fund of assets is required to be maintained, full and timely payment has been made or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, reserved in the Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS of all amounts required of the Company, under the terms of each such Company Plan or applicable Law (determined without regard to any waiver of legally applicable funding requirements). The fair market value of the assets of each Company Plan applicable to the Company’s United States Subsidiaries and for which a separate fund of assets is required to be maintained under applicable United States Law, as of the end of the most recently ended plan year of each such Company Plan, equaled or exceeded the then present value of all benefits liabilities under each such Company Plan. Except as set forth on Section 3.11(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, none of the assets of any Company Plan include any capital stock or other securities issued by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate. To the extent any contribution or payment by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate is not required under applicable Laws to be made with respect to any Company Plan on or prior to March 31, 2011, such contribution or payment has been reflected on the Latest Balance Sheet. All amounts due or accrued for all salary, wages, bonuses, commissions, vacation and sick days have been remitted and paid in a timely fashion (or timely reserved for) in accordance with all applicable Laws and the terms of any applicable Company Plan, and no taxes, penalties or fees are owing under or in respect of any Company Plan other than in the ordinary course. The Company and its Subsidiaries have timely paid all outstanding material liabilities, fees, expenses and obligations due and payable with respect to any Company Plan to its employees, consultants, independent contractors, agents, directors, officers and any other Person who provides or has provided services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any Company Plan.

Plan, other than routine claims for benefits in the ordinary course. To the Knowledge of the Company, there are no facts that could form a reasonable basis for any material Action with respect to any Company Plan and fiduciary or service provider thereof.

All of the Company Properties and any buildings, fixtures and improvements thereon (i) are in good operating condition (subject to normal wear and tear) and (ii) are suitable, sufficient and appropriate in all material respects for their current and proposed uses. None of the improvements located on the Company Properties constitute a non-conforming use or otherwise require any special dispensation, variance or special permit under any Laws.

Except as set forth on Section 3.14(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and except for Other Approvals, no Real Property Lease has any change of control, anti-assignment or similar provision that would require notice to or the consent of any Person as a result of the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of any of the Transactions.

The Company has not received any written notice of any such threatened claim nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, are there any facts or circumstances that reasonably could form the basis for any claim against the Company (including the Surviving Corporation after the Merger) or any of its Subsidiaries of infringement, unauthorized use, or violation of any Intellectual Property or Technology of any Person, or challenging the ownership, use, validity or enforceability of any Company Intellectual Property or Company Technology in any material respect. The Company Intellectual Property and Company Technology owned or exclusively licensed by the Company or its Subsidiaries are (i) valid, subsisting and enforceable, (ii) currently in compliance with any and all formal legal requirements necessary to maintain the validity and enforceability thereof, and (iii) not subject to any outstanding judgment, injunction, order, decree, ruling or agreement impairing, restricting or otherwise adversely affecting the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ use or licensing thereof or rights thereto, or that would impair the validity or enforceability thereof.

(e) No Trade Secret or any other non-public, proprietary information material to the businesses of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as conducted has been authorized to be disclosed or has been actually disclosed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any employee or any third Person, other than pursuant to a written confidentiality or non-disclosure

agreement prohibiting the unauthorized disclosure and use of the Company Intellectual Property or Company Technology. To the Company’s Knowledge, no employee, contractor or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person is in default or breach of any term of any employment agreement, non-disclosure agreement, assignment of invention agreement or similar agreement relating to the protection, ownership, development, use or transfer of Company Intellectual Property or Company Technology or any other Intellectual Property or Technology.

The Computer Systems have not failed in any material manner or been compromised to any material extent and, to the Company’s Knowledge, the data which they process has not been corrupted or accessed by any unauthorized Person. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken all reasonable steps in accordance with prudent industry standards to preserve the availability, security and integrity of the Computer Systems and the data and information stored on the Computer Systems.

With respect to each of the Company IP Contracts set forth on Section 3.15(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in any material respect thereof, nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, has any event occurred which, with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would give rise to such a default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable. Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of any of the Transactions shall, by itself, constitute a default under, give rise to cancellation rights under, or otherwise materially adversely affect any of the rights of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any Company IP Contract. There are no Contracts or arrangements to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party under which any Governmental Authority acquires rights with respect to any owned or exclusively licensed Company Software or owned or exclusively licensed Company Intellectual Property greater than “limited rights” with respect to “technical data” as defined by the provisions of DFAR ###-###-#### (Nov. 1995) or “restricted rights” with respect to Software as defined by the provisions of DFAR ###-###-#### (June 1995), nor has any Governmental Authority acquired any rights outside of any such Contracts, arrangements or subcontract as the result of providing any funding relating to the development of any Company Intellectual Property, including any government rights and prerogatives as defined under the Israeli Patents Law, 1967 including rights under Section 55, Chapter 6 and Chapter 8 thereof.

(k) Consummation of the Transactions will not trigger (i) the creation of any Lien on any Company Intellectual Property or Company Technology, (ii) Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company or its Affiliates) being bound by or subject to any non-compete or licensing obligation, covenant not to sue, or other restriction on the operation or scope of its business, to which the Company or its Subsidiaries is bound or subject on the date hereof, or (iii) Parent or any of its Affiliates, or the Company (including the Surviving Corporation) or any of its Subsidiaries, being obligated to pay any royalties, honoraria, fees or other payments to any Person with respect to any Company Intellectual Property or Company Technology in excess of those payable by the Company and/or its applicable Subsidiaries on the date hereof.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has participated in any standards-setting activities or joined any standards setting or similar organization that would affect the proprietary nature of any Company Intellectual Property or Company Technology or restrict the ability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enforce, license or exclude others from using any Company Intellectual Property or Company Technology. No Person (including any current and

former employee, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) who is or was involved in, or who has or will have contributed to, the creation or development of any of the owned Company Intellectual Property or owned Company Technology has performed services for, was an employee of, or was otherwise engaged (including to the Knowledge of the Company as a graduate student) by any R&D Sponsor, during the time period in which such Person was engaged by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or during the period such Person would be deemed under applicable Law to have contributed to the creation or development of Company Intellectual Property or Company Technology.

The consummation of the Transactions shall not, in and of itself, cause the revocation, cancellation or termination of any Policy.

The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, cause, facilitate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing information) any inquiries or proposals that constitute, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal, (ii) solicit, encourage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any third party regarding any Takeover Proposal or (iii) enter into any agreement or understanding that reasonably could result in any Takeover Proposal; provided, that if prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval the Board of Directors of the Company receives an unsolicited, bona fide written Takeover Proposal made after the date hereof in circumstances not involving a breach of this Agreement and the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably determines in good faith that (i) such Takeover Proposal is a Superior Proposal and (ii) based upon the advice of its outside legal counsel, the failure to take such action would violate the Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders under the Israeli Companies Law, then the Company may, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval (but in no event after obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval) and after providing Parent not less than 24 hours written notice of its intention to take such actions, furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Takeover Proposal; provided, that prior to providing any such information, the Person making the Takeover Proposal and its applicable Representatives must enter into or be bound by a customary confidentiality agreement with the Company (which confidentiality agreement must be no less favorable to the Company (i.e., no less protective of the Company’s information) and no more favorable to such Person (i.e., no less restrictive with respect to the conduct of such Person) than the Confidentiality Agreement); provided, further, (i) such confidentiality agreement may not include any exclusive right to negotiate with the Company and may not restrict the Company from complying with its obligations under this Agreement and (ii) the Company must deliver to Parent all information delivered to such other Person or its Representatives as promptly as practicable after such information is delivered to such other Person (to the extent such information was not previously provided to Parent). Subject to Section 5.3(b) below, the Company shall provide Parent with a correct and complete copy of any confidentiality agreement entered into pursuant to this paragraph or that otherwise is binding upon any Person making such Takeover Proposal or its Representatives as soon as reasonably practical following the execution thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the foregoing restrictions by or on behalf of the Company’s Subsidiaries or its or their Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.3 by the Company.

(b) In addition to the other obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 5.3, the Company shall promptly (and in no event later than two business days) after receipt of any proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact regarding any Takeover Proposal, provide Parent a certificate from an appropriate officer of the Company setting forth the price (including the form of consideration and any holdback or earnout components), structure and conditions of any such proposal, offer or inquiry (whether conveyed orally or in writing) and indicating whether the offeror or inquiring party (or its ultimate beneficial owner) is a strategic or financial buyer (provided, however, that no information need be provided regarding the identity of the offeror), and thereafter shall reasonably and diligently keep Parent informed of all material developments as they occur affecting the status and terms of any such proposals, offers, inquiries or requests.

(c) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.3(c), neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof (nor any Representative of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof) shall (i)(A) withdraw or modify, or propose to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Board Recommendation or the approval or declaration of advisability by such Board of Directors of this Agreement and the Transactions (including the Merger) or (B) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any Takeover Proposal (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, or cause or authorize the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives to enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, memorandum of understanding, merger, acquisition, purchase or joint venture agreement or other agreement related to any Takeover Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement in accordance with Section 5.3(a)). Further, unless the Board of Directors has made or is then considering a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in compliance with this Agreement, the Board of Directors shall, if requested by Parent, promptly publicly reiterate the Company Board Recommendation (in a press release, public filing, or other broadly disseminated communication) after any Takeover Proposal becomes publicly disclosed, regardless of the circumstances of disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Company may withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation in response to a Superior Proposal that has not been withdrawn, if such Board determines in good faith, after reviewing applicable provisions of the Israeli Companies Laws and after consulting with and receiving advice from its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such withdrawal or modification would constitute a breach by the Board of Directors of the Company of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders under the Israeli Companies Law; provided, however, that no Company Adverse Recommendation Change may be made in response to a purportedly Superior Proposal until five business days following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company (a “Company Adverse Recommendation Notice”) advising Parent that the Board of Directors of the Company intends to make such Company Adverse Recommendation Change and specifying all material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any subsequent amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Company Adverse Recommendation Notice and a new three business day post-notice period). Prior to effecting such a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a purportedly Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors of the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments and amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such third party Takeover Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal.

SECTION 5.4. Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 5.4(d)), each of the parties hereto shall cooperate with the other parties and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and Representatives to use) their respective commercially reasonable efforts to promptly (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things, necessary, proper or advisable to cause the conditions to Closing to be satisfied as promptly as reasonably practicable and to consummate and make effective, the Transactions, including preparing and filing promptly and fully all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and

other documents (including any required or recommended filings under applicable Antitrust Laws) and (ii) obtain all approvals, consents, registrations, Permits, rulings, authorizations and other confirmations from any Governmental Authority or other Person necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions, including the Company Shareholder Approval, the Required Regulatory Consents and the Other Approvals. Without limiting the foregoing, (A) Parent agrees to refrain (and to cause Merger Sub to refrain) from taking any action that reasonably would be expected to result in a Parent Material Adverse Effect, and (B) the Company agrees to refrain (and to cause its Subsidiaries to refrain) from taking any action that reasonably would be expected to prevent or materially delay or materially impair the ability of the Company to consummate the Transactions. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall provide a copy of Section 5.2 and 5.3 of this Agreement (including any relevant exceptions in the Company Disclosure Schedule) to management of each of its Subsidiaries and shall take commercially reasonable efforts to (x) educate such management of the actions or omissions which would require Parent approval hereunder and (y) implement commercially reasonable controls and procedures to minimize the likelihood of unintentional breaches of the Company’s covenants hereunder.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, to the extent required under applicable Law, (i) each party hereto agrees to make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the RTPA, the HSR Act or any other applicable antitrust Law, with respect to the Merger as promptly as reasonably practicable, to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to any applicable Law, and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all other actions consistent with this Section 5.4 necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the RTPA, the HSR Act or any other applicable antitrust Law, as soon as reasonably practicable; and (ii) the Company shall (x) take all action necessary to ensure that no takeover statute or similar Law is or becomes applicable to any of the Transactions and (y) if any takeover statute or similar Law becomes applicable to any of the Transactions, take all reasonable action necessary to ensure that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise minimize the effect of such Law on the Transactions.

(c) Each of the parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing with or submission to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and in connection with any Action by or before a Governmental Authority relating to the Transactions, including any Action initiated by a private party, and (ii) keep the other party informed in all material respects and on a reasonably timely basis of any material communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the Israeli antitrust authority, the Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice or any other applicable Governmental Authority and of any material communication received or given in connection with any Action by or involving any third party, in each case regarding any of the Transactions. Subject to applicable Laws, the Company and its Subsidiaries agree to consult with Parent in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Authority, give Parent or its Representatives the opportunity to attend and participate in any scheduled meeting or substantive discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions.

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in this Section 5.4, each of the parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by a Governmental Authority or other Person with respect to the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without Parent’s prior written consent, commit to any divestiture transaction or agree to any restriction on its or any of its Subsidiaries’ businesses, and nothing in this Section 5.4 shall (i) limit any applicable rights a party may have to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, (ii) require Parent or Merger Sub to offer, accept or agree to (A) dispose of, license or hold separate (in trust or otherwise) any part of its or the Company’s (or the Surviving Corporation’s, after the Merger) or any of their respective Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ businesses, operations, assets or product lines (or any combination of Parent’s and the Company’s (or the Surviving Corporation’s, after the Merger) or any of their respective Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ businesses, operations, assets or product lines), (B) not compete in any geographic area or line of business, (C) restrict or impose burdensome terms or conditions on the manner in which, or whether, Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates may carry on business in any part of the world (including, but not limited to, any such party’s freedom of action with respect to future acquisitions of assets or businesses or its full rights of ownership with respect to any of its assets or businesses) and/or (D) accept any undertaking or condition, enter into any consent decree, accept any operational restriction, or take any other action that could be expected to limit the right of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to own or operate all or any portion of their respective businesses or assets or (iii) require Parent to contest or otherwise resist any Action by, before or involving any Governmental Authority or any private party, challenging any of the Transactions as violative of any Antitrust Law.

SECTION 5.5. Merger Proposal.

(a) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement (but subject to Section 5.1(b)): (i) each of the Company and Merger Sub shall cause a merger proposal substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Merger Proposal”) to be executed in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law; (ii) the Company shall call the Company Shareholder Meeting (it being understood that the sole shareholder of Merger Sub has approved the Merger and the Transaction prior to the execution of this Agreement), and (iii) the Company and Merger Sub shall jointly deliver the Merger Proposal to the Companies Registrar within three calendar days after the calling of the Company Shareholder Meeting. Each of the Company and Merger Sub shall cause a copy of its Merger Proposal to be delivered to its secured creditors, if any, no later than three days after the date on which the Merger Proposal is delivered to the Companies Registrar, and each shall promptly inform its respective non-secured creditors, if any, of its Merger Proposal and its contents in accordance with Section 318 of the Israeli Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

(b) Promptly after the Company and Merger Sub comply with the preceding paragraph and with subsections (i) and (ii) below, but in any event no more than three business days following the date on which such notice was sent to the creditors, the Company and Merger Sub shall inform the Companies Registrar, in accordance with Section 317(b) of the Israeli Companies Law, that notice was given to their respective creditors under Section 318 of the

Israeli Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition to the foregoing, each of the Company and, if applicable, Merger Sub, shall:

(i) Publish a notice to their respective creditors, stating that a Merger Proposal was submitted to the Companies Registrar and that the creditors may review the Merger Proposal at the office of the Companies Registrar, the Company’s registered offices or Merger Sub’s registered offices, as applicable, and at such other locations as the Company or Merger Sub, as applicable, may determine, in (A) two daily Hebrew newspapers circulated in Israel, on the day that the Merger Proposal is submitted to the Companies Registrar, and (B) if required, at such other time and in such other manner as may be required by applicable Laws and regulations; and

(ii) Within four business days from the date of submitting the Merger Proposal to the Companies Registrar, send a notice by registered mail to all of the “Substantial Creditors” (as such term is defined in the regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law) that the Company or Merger Sub, as applicable, are respectively aware of, stating that a Merger Proposal was submitted to the Companies Registrar and that the creditors may review the Merger Proposal at any additional locations determined as referred to in the notice referenced in subsection (i) above.

SECTION 5.6. Public Announcements. Without limiting Parent’s review and consultation rights in Section 5.1(c), the initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by Parent and the Company and issued at a mutually agreed upon time promptly following the date hereof, which time shall comply with the requirements of applicable Law. Thereafter, prior to the Closing Date neither the Company nor Parent shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement (to the extent not previously issued or made in compliance with this Agreement) with respect to the Merger, this Agreement or the other Transactions without the prior written consent of the other party (in which case the party preparing any such public announcement shall provide the other party with a draft of such public announcement at least two days prior to the date for the proposed release of such public announcement), except as may be required by Law (including any Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations) or by any applicable listing rules or agreement with TASE or NASDAQ as determined in the good faith judgment of the party proposing to make such release (in which case such party shall not issue or cause the publication of such press release or other public announcement without prior consultation with the other party, to the extent such prior consultation is reasonably practicable and legally permissible). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company may make public statements in response to specific questions regarding this Agreement or the Transactions presented by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst conference calls, so long as such statements are substantially similar to previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by Parent or the Company in accordance with this Section 5.6.

SECTION 5.7. Access to Information; Confidentiality. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to Parent and Parent’s Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to all of the Company’s and its

Subsidiaries’ properties (including real properties), books, Contracts, commitments, records and correspondence (in each case, whether in physical or electronic form), officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other Representatives and the Company shall promptly furnish to Parent (i) a copy of each report, schedule and other document filed or submitted by it following the date hereof pursuant to the requirements of applicable securities Laws or TASE requirements (and the Company shall deliver to Parent a copy of each report, schedule and other document proposed to be filed or submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of applicable securities Laws or TASE requirements, to the extent reasonably practicable and legally permissible, not less than two business days prior to such filing) and a copy of any communication (including “comment letters”) received by the Company from the ISA or TASE, or proposed to be sent by or on behalf of the Company to ISA or TASE, concerning compliance with securities Laws or TASE listing requirements, (ii) copies of all audited or unaudited financial statements prepared after the date hereof through the Closing Date and (iii) all other information concerning the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ business, properties and personnel as Parent or its Representatives may reasonably request. Except for disclosures permitted by the terms of the Confidential Disclosure Agreement, dated as of August 3, 2010, between Parent and the Company (as amended from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), Parent shall hold all information received from the Company pursuant to this Section 5.7 in confidence in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

SECTION 5.8. Notice of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (a) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions, (b) any Actions commenced or, to such party’s knowledge, threatened against, involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Subsidiaries which relate to the Transactions, (c) the discovery of any fact or circumstance that, or the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which, would cause any representation or warranty made by such party contained in this Agreement to be untrue in any material respect, and (d) any material failure of such party to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.8 shall not (i) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or (ii) limit the rights or remedies otherwise available to the party receiving such notice.

SECTION 5.9. WARN Notification. The Company shall be solely responsible for any notification obligations and satisfying any liability under WARN occurring prior to and through the Effective Time whether or not in connection with the Transactions.

SECTION 5.11. Merger Sub Obligations. Parent shall cause Merger Sub to comply with all of its obligations under this Agreement. During the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Merger Sub shall not, and Parent shall not permit Merger Sub to, conduct any business or undertake any activities that reasonably would result in a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.12. Employee Matters.

(a) During the one-year period commencing on the Closing Date, Parent shall provide or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to continuing employees of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries (“Company Employees”) compensation and benefits that are, in the aggregate, to any such employee, no less favorable than the compensation and benefits being provided to such Company Employee as of the date hereof under the Company Plans and his/her employment agreement; provided, that such commitment shall not include or require any replacement or new or additional benefits or grants under any Company Stock Plans or other incentive compensation plans, agreements or arrangements; provided, further, that, the foregoing shall not (i) create any obligations to pay such employees any severance or other payments or benefits not otherwise required under applicable Law or written employment agreements existing as of the date hereof or (ii) act as a waiver of or impair any rights to terminate the employment of any individual employee.

(b) Without limiting Section 5.12(a), Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to honor, fulfill and discharge, the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ obligations under any Company Plans and employment agreements in effect as of the date hereof and true and correct copies (or a written summary of the material terms) of which have been provided to Parent prior to the date hereof; provided, that such commitment shall not include or require any replacement or new or additional benefits or grants under any Company Stock Plans or other incentive compensation plans, agreements or arrangements.

(c) For purposes of eligibility under the employee benefit plans of Parent that will provide benefits to any Company Employee after the Closing (the “New Plans”), and for purposes of accrual of vacation and other paid time off and any severance benefits under the New Plans, each Company Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company or its applicable Subsidiaries to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled before the Closing, to credit for such service under any similar Company Plan. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing (but subject to any limitations under applicable Laws or the terms of the applicable Company Plan: (i) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable Company Plan in which such Company Employee was eligible to and did participate immediately before the replacement; and (ii) for purposes of each such New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents under a Company Plan during the portion of the plan year of the New Plan ending on the date such employee’s participation in the

corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

SECTION 5.13. Israeli Approvals.

(a) Government Filings. Without limiting Sections 5.4 and 6.2(d), each party to this Agreement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare, deliver and file, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, each notice, report or other document required to be delivered by such party to, or filed by such party with, any Israeli Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger. Without derogating from Section 6.2(d), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, make or give (in the case of filing or notice only Other Approvals), as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, all of the Required Regulatory Consents and Other Approvals and any other consents and approvals that may be required in connection with the Merger. Parent shall provide to the Investment Center, the Office of Chief Scientist and all other applicable authorities any information, and shall execute any undertakings, reasonably requested by such authorities as a condition to obtaining the Required Regulatory Consents.

(b) Legal Proceedings. The Company and Parent each shall: (i) give the other party prompt notice of the commencement of any Action by or before any Israeli Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement or the Merger; (ii) keep the other party informed as to the status of any such Action; and (iii) promptly inform the other party of any communication to or from the Commissioner of Israeli Restrictive Trade Practices, the Investment Center, the ISA, the ITA, the Israel Land Authority, the Israeli Ministry of Defense, the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade & Labor, the Companies Registrar or any other Israeli Governmental Entity regarding this Agreement or the Merger. The Company and Parent will consult and cooperate with one another, and will consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted in connection with any Israeli legal proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Merger, pursuant to a joint defense agreement to the extent necessary or advisable to preserve legal privilege. In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Israeli Governmental Entity or by any Israeli Law, in connection with any such Action under or relating to the RTPA, the Company and Parent will each permit authorized Representatives of the other party to be present at each meeting or conference relating to any such legal proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Israeli Governmental Entity in connection with any such legal proceeding.

(c) Israeli Tax Rulings. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants to prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling (which shall be provided to Parent for review and approval prior to its submission, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) (i) confirming that the treatment of any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights subject to Section 102 of the Ordinance in accordance with Section 2.3 shall not be regarded as a violation of the requisite holding period, if the applicable Option Consideration is deposited with the Option Trustee of such Options and Stock Appreciation Rights until the end of the respective

holding period (which ruling may be subject to customary conditions regularly associated with such a ruling), and (ii) requesting to exempt the non-Israeli Personnel and consultants of the Company and its Affiliates from Israeli Tax, and to exempt the Company (and the Surviving Corporation after the Merger), its applicable Affiliates, Parent, Merger Sub, the Option Trustees and the Paying Agent from any withholding obligation with respect to payments made pursuant to the Merger with respect to Options and Stock Appreciation rights (the “Options Tax Ruling”). Parent will apply to the ITA to seek a pre-ruling exempting Parent and the Surviving Corporation from any obligation to withhold Israeli Tax from any consideration deposited with or payable by the Paying Agent, the Option Trustees, the Surviving Corporation or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement or clarifying that no such obligation exists (the “Withholding Tax Ruling”). In the alternative, the Company shall, if requested by Parent, submit or include in the request for the Options Tax Ruling a request for the Withholding Tax Ruling. Each of the Company and Parent shall cause their respective Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants to coordinate all activities, and to cooperate with each other, with respect to the preparation and filing of such application and in the preparation of any written or oral submissions that may be necessary, proper or advisable in support of the request for the Options Tax Ruling and the Withholding Tax Ruling. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to cause or facilitate obtaining the Options Tax Ruling and the Withholding Tax Ruling, as promptly as practicable; provided, that obtaining the Options Tax Ruling or Withholding Tax Ruling shall not be a condition to the Company’s obligations to complete the Merger or any other Transactions; provided, further, that if the Withholding Tax Ruling is not obtained prior to the Closing Date, the Company may instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants to apply to the ITA prior to the Closing Date for an extension of time with respect to the obligation to deduct or withhold Israeli Tax from the Merger Consideration, Option Consideration or Warrant Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement and if such extension is not granted prior to the date such payments become due and payable, Parent or the Surviving Corporation may make such payments and withhold any applicable Israeli Taxes in accordance with applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt (and unless Parent is entitled to and does elect to directly pay the Option Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.3(d)), the Option Trustee shall wire the funds to each such Option or Stock Appreciation Right holder after deducting all applicable withholding Taxes (subject to the requirements of the Option Tax Ruling).

SECTION 5.14. Cooperation with Financing.

(a) The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and each of its Subsidiaries’ representatives to, at Parent’s sole expense, reasonably cooperate to assist Parent in connection with arranging Parent’s debt financing to finance the Merger Consideration (the “Debt Financing”), and in causing any of the conditions to the Debt Financing to be satisfied, as may be reasonably requested by Parent (provided that such requested cooperation does not interfere to any significant degree with the ongoing operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and that any third party potential lenders execute a confidentiality agreement in a form customary for information memoranda used in financing transactions); provided, that the Company’s cooperation obligations with respect to providing information shall be limited to providing information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries without giving effect to the Merger and

(vi) granting the providers of the Debt Financing, on reasonable terms and upon reasonable request, at reasonable times and on reasonable notice, access to the Company and its Subsidiaries’ respective key personnel, properties, assets and cash management and accounting systems;

In this regard, the Company acknowledges that its cooperation obligations in this Section 5.14 include the obligation to cooperate with any such pre-Marketing Period effort.

(d) The Company hereby consents to the use of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Transactions and the Merger hereunder are not in any way contingent upon Parent obtaining the Debt Financing.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.14 to the contrary, in no event shall the Company, in connection with the Debt Financing, be required to (i) make any payments or incur any liabilities or obligations either (x) for which it is not reimbursed or indemnified by Parent or (y) which become effective prior to the Closing, or (ii) grant any Liens on any asset of the Company or its Subsidiaries that will be binding on the Company prior to the Closing.

SECTION 5.15. Transaction Expenses. At least five business days prior to the Closing, Company shall submit documentation reasonably satisfactory to Parent (the “Payoff Instructions”) setting forth the amount of all Transaction Expenses of the Company, including the identity of each recipient, the amounts previously paid and any additional amounts payable through or as a result of the Closing. Together with the delivery of the Payoff Instructions, the Company shall deliver to Parent receipts and releases evidencing payment (or the final amount, if to be paid at Closing) of the Transaction Expenses, all of which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent. At or prior to the Closing, the Company shall pay to the designated recipients in accordance with the Payoff Instructions any unpaid Transaction Expenses which are required to be paid by Company at or as a result of Closing. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide Parent reasonable access to all relevant invoices, records and work papers reasonably necessary to allow Parent a reasonable opportunity to review the calculations and amounts of Transaction Expenses.

SECTION 5.16. Non-Solicitation of Employees, Consultants and Advisors. Until the earlier of the Effective Time and April 11, 2013, each of the Company and Parent agrees that it will not either, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, solicit any person engaged as an employee, consultant or advisor of the other party or its Subsidiaries to alter its relationship with such other party or its applicable Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to general solicitations of employment by or on behalf of the Company or Parent (or their respective Subsidiaries) that are not specifically directed at the employees, consultants or advisors of the other party or such other party’s Subsidiaries.

(e) Key Employees. The requisite number of key employees listed on Section 6.2(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (i) shall be employees of the Company or its applicable Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (provided, however, that the death or incapacity of one or more of the specific individual employees named on such Section 6.2(e) shall not be deemed a failure of this condition), (ii) shall not have notified Parent or the Company of their intent to leave the employ of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or their applicable Subsidiaries and (iii) shall be bound by written employment agreements.

The representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub contained in this Agreement that are qualified as to materiality or Parent Material Adverse Effect shall be true and correct in accordance with their terms, and the representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub contained in this Agreement that are not so qualified shall be true and correct in all material respects, in each case, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as though made on the Closing Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date); provided, that for purposes of this condition, all representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub shall be deemed to be true and correct in all material respects unless the failure of such representations and warranties (without giving effect to any limitation as to materiality or Parent Material Adverse Effect), results, or would reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Parent Material Adverse Effect. The Company shall have received a certificate signed on behalf of Parent by an executive officer of Parent to such effect.

(b) Performance of Obligations of Parent and Merger Sub. Parent and Merger Sub shall have performed in all material respects all obligations required to be performed by them under this Agreement at or prior to the Closing Date, provided, however, that unintentional breaches based on acts or omissions of which Parent’s management did not (and would not reasonably be expected to) have knowledge prior to such act of omission shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.3(b) unless such breaches result, or would reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Parent Material Adverse Effect. The Company shall

have received a certificate signed on behalf of Parent by an executive officer of Parent to such effect.

SECTION 6.4. Frustration of Closing Conditions. None of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in Section 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3 to be satisfied, as the case may be, if such failure was caused by the failure of the party seeking to invoke such condition to comply with its obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

Termination

SECTION 7.1. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time:

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Company and Parent duly authorized by each of their respective Boards of Directors; or

(b) by either of the Company or Parent:

(i) if the Merger is not consummated on or before the Termination Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b)(i) shall not be available to a party if the failure of the Merger to have been consummated on or before the Termination Date was primarily due to the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement; or

(ii) if any Restraint having the effects set forth in Section 6.1(b) shall be in effect and shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to a party if such Restraint was primarily due to the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement; or

(iii) if the Company Shareholder Approval is not obtained at the Company Shareholder Meeting; or

(i) if the Company shall have breached or failed to perform any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement (or if any of the representations or warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall fail to be true), which breach, failure or inaccuracy (A) would (if it occurred or was continuing as of the Closing Date) give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) or (b) and (B) is incapable of being cured, or, if susceptible to cure, is not cured by the Company within 30 calendar days following receipt of written notice from Parent of such breach or failure; or

(ii) if any Restraint having the effects described in Section 6.2(c) shall be in effect and shall have become final and nonappealable; or

(iii) if (A) a Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred or (B) the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof (x) shall not have publicly rejected any Takeover Proposal that is not (or after the process described in Section 5.3(c), is no longer) a Superior Proposal within three business days of the making thereof (including, for these purposes, by taking no position in response to a tender offer or exchange offer, which shall be deemed a failure to reject such Takeover Proposal) or (y) shall have failed to publicly reconfirm the Company Board Recommendation within ten business days after receipt of a written request from Parent that it do so if such request is made following the making by any Person of a Takeover Proposal that is not (or after the process described in Section 5.3(c), is no longer) a Superior Proposal; or

(iv) if after the date of this Agreement there shall have occurred any events or changes that, individually or in the aggregate, have had or would reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect; or

(d) by the Company:

(i) if Parent shall have breached or failed to perform any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement (or if any of the representations or warranties of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement shall fail to be true), which breach, failure or inaccuracy (A) would (if it occurred or was continuing as of the Closing Date) give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) or (b) and (B) is incapable of being cured, or, if susceptible to cure, is not cured by Parent within 30 calendar days following receipt of written notice from the Company of such breach or failure; or

(ii) at any time prior to the date the Company Shareholder Approval is obtained, if (A) the Company’s Board of Directors is entitled to and does make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 5.3(c) and (B) the Company immediately enters into a definitive agreement for the Superior Proposal in response to which the Company validly made the Company Adverse Recommendation Change and (C) prior thereto or concurrently therewith the Company pays Parent the Expenses and the Termination Fee pursuant to Sections 7.3(c) and (d).

SECTION 7.2. Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other party or parties, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (other than the provisions of the first sentence of Section 3.17, the last sentence of Section 5.7, Sections 5.10, 5.16, 7.2 and 7.3, and Article VIII, all of which shall survive termination of this Agreement), and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or their respective directors, officers and Affiliates, except (a) any payment obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 7.3, and (b) nothing shall relieve any party from liability for fraud or for any intentional breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

SECTION 7.3. Expense Reimbursement and Termination Fee.

(a) If (i) this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(iii) or by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(i) or Section 7.1(c)(iii) and (ii) at such time, any Required Regulatory Consent has not been denied (or, if denied, any applicable appeal or request to reconsider has been denied), then the Company shall reimburse Parent for all of the Expenses of Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with Section 7.3(d).

(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(iii) or by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(i) or Section 7.1(c)(iii), and (ii) at such time, Parent is entitled to reimbursement for Expenses pursuant to Section 7.3(a), and (iii) within nine months of the date of termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or there is consummated, a sale or transfer of at least 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company or 50% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (in each case, whether in one transaction or a series of transactions and whether through a stock or asset sale, tender or exchange offer, merger, arrangement under the Israeli Companies Law, or other form of transaction having the same effect), then the Company shall pay to Parent a termination fee equal to $9,200,000 (the “Termination Fee”) in accordance with Section 7.3(d).

(c) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii), then the Company shall as a condition to such termination pay Parent the Expenses and the Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.3(d).

(d) Any Expense reimbursement payment required to be made pursuant to Section 7.3(a) shall be made to Parent promptly following termination of this Agreement by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(iii) or by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(i) or Section 7.1(c)(iii) (and in any event not later than two business days after delivery to the Company of notice of demand for payment accompanied by a reasonable description of the nature and amount of Expenses incurred). Any Termination Fee payment required to be made pursuant to Section 7.3(b) shall be made to Parent promptly following the earlier of (i) the execution of a definitive agreement with respect to, and (ii) the date of the consummation of, any transaction (or series of transactions, if applicable) described in Section 7.3(b)(iii) (and in any event not later than two business days after delivery to the Company of notice of demand for payment). Any Expenses and Termination Fee payments required to be made pursuant to Section 7.3(c) shall be made prior to (or concurrently with), and shall be an express condition to, any termination pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) (provided that the payment of Expenses in such circumstance may be deferred until no later than two business days following the Company’s receipt of a reasonable description of the nature and amount of Expenses incurred). All such Expense or Termination Fee payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent in advance. In no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(e) If the Company fails to pay the Expenses and/or Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 7.3 when due, the unpaid amounts shall accrue interest from the date such payments were due until paid in full (including any interest accrued thereon), at a per annum rate equal to the rate of interest publicly announced by Citibank, in the City of New York from time

to time during such period, as such bank’s Prime Lending Rate, plus 2% (or if less, the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law). In addition, the Company also shall pay to Parent all of Parent’s costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with efforts to collect any Termination Fee and/or Expenses (and any interest accrued thereon), as the case may be. The Company acknowledges that the Expense reimbursement and Termination Fee rights and the other provisions of this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the Transactions and that, without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement.

(f) Except as provided in Section 7.2(b), once paid, the Termination Fee and/or the Expenses, as applicable, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Parent and Merger Sub following termination of this Agreement. Upon payment of the Termination Fee and/or Expenses, as applicable, the Company, its officers, shareholders, Affiliates or Representatives shall have no further liability with respect to this Agreement or its termination; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to limit any right or remedy with respect to the matters described in Section 7.2(b).

Any agreement on the part of any party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

SECTION 8.4. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Merger Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve Merger Sub or Parent of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 8.4 shall be null and void.

SECTION 8.5. Counterparts.

SECTION 8.7. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Specific Enforcement.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Israel without regard to its conflict or choice of law principles.

(b) In the event of any controversy, claim or dispute between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any alleged breach thereof, either party may demand that the dispute be exclusively resolved through binding arbitration by so notifying the other party in writing (the “Arbitration”). The Arbitration shall be conducted in the English language in London, England, before a single neutral arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be appointed, and the Arbitration shall be conducted under the Rules for International Commercial Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. The Arbitrator shall apply the laws of the State of Israel to the matters in dispute in the Arbitration, without regard to its choice or conflicts of law principles. Each party shall participate in good faith in the Arbitration, shall bear its own costs incurred in connection with the Arbitration and shall share the cost of the arbitrator equally. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the Arbitration, and if either party requests the Arbitration shall be the exclusive forum and dispute resolution procedure for any claims arising out of this Agreement or the subject matter hereof; provided, that any party may seek and obtain injunctive relief as contemplated by subparagraph (c) below pending the Arbitration. The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such arbitration proceeding in London conducted under such arbitration rules and further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to claim in any court or other proceeding that any such action, suit or proceeding has been brought in an inappropriate or inconvenient forum.

(c) Each party recognizes and acknowledges that a breach of its covenants and obligations in this Agreement would cause irreparable loss and damage to the other party as to which that party would not have an adequate remedy at law and for which monetary damages alone would not suffice. Accordingly, each party agrees that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms of this Agreement, and to seek and obtain an injunction or other equitable remedy as a remedy for (or to prevent) any breach of this Agreement. Each party further agrees that the parties shall be entitled to the entry of an order by an appropriate court in Tel Aviv, Israel to enforce any specific performance, injunctive or other equitable remedy granted, in addition to any other remedy to which that party may be entitled, at law or in equity. No party shall be required to post any bond or prove damages as a condition to seeking or obtaining specific performance, an injunction or other equitable relief or to obtain the entry of any such order in a court located in Tel Aviv, Israel.

SECTION 8.8. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder (and any responses or consents to any request) shall be in writing and shall be deemed validly given if delivered personally (including via e-mail), by telecopier (which is electronically confirmed) or sent by overnight courier (providing proof of delivery) to the parties at the following addresses:
