WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the "Company Board of Directors") has unanimously:  (i) determined that this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, taken together, are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders (the "Company Ordinary Shareholders") and that, considering the financial condition of the merging companies, no reasonable concern exists that, as a result of the Merger, the Surviving Company will be unable to fulfill the obligations of the Company to its creditors; (ii) approved this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby; and (iii) determined to recommend that the Company Ordinary Shareholders approve this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby;
 
WHEREAS, the boards of directors of Parent and Merger Sub have each unanimously approved this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and the board of directors of Merger Sub has:  (i) determined that this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, taken together, are fair to, and in the best interests of, Merger Sub and its sole shareholder and that, considering the financial position of the merging companies, no reasonable concern exists that the Surviving Company will be unable to fulfill the obligations of Merger Sub to its creditors; and (ii) determined to recommend that the sole shareholder of Merger Sub approve this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby;
 

WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the sole shareholder of Merger Sub has approved this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement;  and
 
WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, as a condition to Parent's entering into this Agreement and as an inducement thereto, certain Company Ordinary Shareholders have entered into voting agreements in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Voting Agreements"), dated as of the date hereof, with Parent, pursuant to which, among others, such Company Ordinary Shareholders have agreed to vote such Company Ordinary Shareholders' Company Ordinary Shares in favor of the approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement.
 
AGREEMENT
 
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, as well as other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE I

THE MERGER
 
Section 1.1           The Merger.
 
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the ICL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub (as the target company (Chevrat Ha'Ya'ad) in the Merger) shall be merged with and into the Company (as the absorbing company (HaChevra Ha'Koletet) in the Merger).  As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the Surviving Company and shall (a) become a wholly owned direct Subsidiary of Parent, (b) continue to be governed by the Laws of the State of Israel, (c) maintain a registered office in the State of Israel, and (d) succeed to and assume all of the rights, properties and obligations of Merger Sub and the Company in accordance with the ICL.
 
Section 1.2           Closing.
 
Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Article VII, the Closing will occur at the offices of Meitar Liquornik Geva Leshem Tal, 16 Abba Hillel Rd., Ramat Gan 52506, Israel, at 10:00 a.m. (local time), on the second (2nd) Business Day following the date on which each of the conditions set forth in Article VI is satisfied or, to the extent permitted by Law, waived by the party entitled to waive such condition (except for any conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied on the Closing Date, but subject to the satisfaction of such conditions or waiver by the party entitled to waive such conditions), or another time, date or place as is agreed to in writing by the parties. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the "Closing Date".
 
2

Section 1.3           Effective Time.
 
As soon as practicable after the determination of the date on which the Closing is to take place, each of the Company and Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to), in coordination with each other, deliver to the Registrar of Companies of the State of Israel (the "Companies Registrar") a notice (the "Merger Notice") of the contemplated Merger and the proposed date of the Closing on which the Companies Registrar is requested to issue a certificate evidencing the Merger in accordance with Section 323(5) of the ICL (the "Certificate of Merger") after notice that the Closing has occurred is served to the Companies Registrar, which the parties shall deliver on the Closing Date.  The Merger shall become effective upon the issuance by the Companies Registrar of the Certificate of Merger in accordance with Section 323(5) of the ICL.  For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the Merger shall be declared effective and that the issuance by the Companies Registrar of the Certificate of Merger in accordance with Section 323(5) of the ICL shall both occur on the Closing Date, as a condition to Closing. The time at which the Merger becomes effective is referred to herein as the "Effective Time".

Section 1.4           Effect of the Merger.
 
The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the ICL and this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, by virtue of, and simultaneously with, the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any shareholder of the Company, (i) Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the Surviving Company, (ii) all the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Company, (iii) all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company, and (iv) all the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company (as the Surviving Company) shall continue unaffected by the Merger in accordance with the ICL.
 
Section 1.5           Memorandum and Articles of Association.
 
(a)          At the Effective Time, the Articles of Association of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Articles of Association of the Surviving Company.
 
(b)          Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the Memorandum of Association of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Memorandum of Association of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.
 
3

Section 1.6            Directors and Officers of the Surviving Company.
 
(a)          Directors.  The parties shall take all actions necessary so that the directors of Merger Sub at the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be appointed and serve as the directors of the Surviving Company until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be, in accordance with the Surviving Company's articles of association.
 
(b)          Officers.  At the Effective Time, the officers of the Company immediately before the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Company, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be.
 
Section 1.7            Effects on Share Capital.
 
(a)          Share Capital.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, or the holders of any of the following securities, the following shall occur:
 
(i)          Conversion of Company Ordinary Shares.  Each Company Ordinary Share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Company Ordinary Shares canceled pursuant to Section 1.7(a)(ii), shall automatically be converted into and represent the right to receive $0.86 (0 U.S. Dollars and 86 cents) in cash (the "Merger Consideration"), without interest and less applicable Taxes required to be withheld, payable upon the surrender of the certificate representing such Company Ordinary Share (or receipt of an "agent's message" or other acceptable evidence of transfer if such Company Ordinary Share is uncertificated) in the manner provided in Article II (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit in the manner provided in Article II).  The amount of cash each Effective Time Holder is entitled to receive shall be rounded to the nearest cent, and computed after aggregating all cash amounts for all Company Ordinary Shares held by such Effective Time Holder.
 
(ii)          Parent-Owned Shares and Shares Held in Treasury.  Each Company Ordinary Share held in the treasury of the Company or owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company or of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time, if any, shall be canceled and retired without any conversion or consideration paid in respect thereof and shall cease to exist.
 
(iii)          Share Capital of Merger Sub.  Each Ordinary Share, with no par value, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically and without further action converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Ordinary Share, par value four Israeli Agorot (NIS 0.04) per share, of the Surviving Company and such Ordinary Shares shall constitute the only outstanding share capital of the Surviving Company.  Each certificate evidencing ownership of such shares of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, evidence ownership of such shares of the Surviving Company.
 
4

(b)          Adjustment to the Merger Consideration.  The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any share split, reverse share split, share dividend (including any dividend or any non-cash distribution of securities convertible into Company Ordinary Shares), reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Ordinary Shares occurring, or with a record date, on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, and such adjustment to the Merger Consideration shall provide to the holders of Company Ordinary Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action.
 
(c)           Company Options.
 
(i)          Subject to clause (ii) below, at the Effective Time, each Company Option whether vested or unvested, shall be canceled in exchange for the right to receive a lump sum cash payment (without interest) equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration over (B) the exercise price per Company Ordinary Share for such Company Option and (ii) the total number of shares underlying such Company Option (the "Option Consideration"), less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment pursuant to Section 2.6.  From and after the Effective Date, all Company Options shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist, and each holder of Company Options shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto or arising therefrom, except the right to receive the Option Consideration payable hereunder.  If the exercise price per Company Ordinary Share for any Company Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration (an "Underwater Option"), such Underwater Option shall be canceled without payment of consideration.
 
(ii)          Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all action that may be reasonably necessary (under the Company Equity Incentive Plans and otherwise, including providing Company Optionholders with notice of their rights with respect to any such Company Options as provided herein and/or obtaining such Company Optionholders' consents, to the extent required, and including providing the holders of Underwater Options notice of their right to exercise their Underwater Options in accordance with the Company Equity Incentive Plans) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.7(c) and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, Company Optionholders have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 1.7(c).
 
(iii)          The amount of cash each Company Optionholder is entitled to receive for the Company Options held by such holder shall be rounded to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating cash amounts for all Company Options held by such holder.
 
5

(iv)          As of the Effective Time, the Company Equity Incentive Plans shall terminate and all rights under any provision of any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the share capital of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be cancelled.
 
(d)           Company RSUs.
 
(i)          At the Effective Time, each Company RSU whether vested or unvested, shall be canceled in exchange for the right to receive a lump sum cash payment (without interest) (to the extent such payment does not trigger Taxes under Code Section 409A) equal to the product of (i) the Merger Consideration and (ii) the number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to such Company RSUs (the "RSUs Consideration"), less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment, and paid in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of such Company RSU and Code Section 409A.    From and after the Effective Date all Company RSUs shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist, and each holder of a Company RSU shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto or arising therefrom, except the right to receive the RSUs Consideration payable hereunder.
 
(ii)          Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all action that may be reasonably necessary (under the Company Equity Incentive Plans and otherwise, including providing Company RSUs Holders with notice of their rights with respect to any such Company RSUs as provided herein and/or obtaining such Company RSUs Holders' consents, to the extent required) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.7(d) and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, Company RSUs have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 1.7(d).
 
(iii)         The amount of cash each Company RSUs Holder is entitled to receive for the Company RSUs held by such holder shall be rounded to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating cash amounts for all Company RSUs held by such holder.
 
ARTICLE II

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES
 
Section 2.1            Paying Agent.
 
Prior to the Effective Time (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date), Parent (i) shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the paying agent for the Merger (the "Paying Agent") and, in connection therewith, shall enter into an agreement with the Paying Agent in form satisfactory to Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company; and (ii)  may select an information agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the "Information Agent") to assist in obtaining any requisite residency certificate and/or other declaration for Israeli Tax withholding purposes and, in connection therewith, shall enter into an agreement with the Information Agent in a form satisfactory to Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company.
 
6

Section 2.2            Exchange Fund.
 
At the Closing, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Paying Agent, for payment to the holders of Company Ordinary Shares (including Company Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of Company 102 Options and Company 102 RSUs that are held by the 102 Trustee ("Company 102 Shares")) pursuant to the provisions of Article I, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate consideration to which such holders of Company Ordinary Shares become entitled under Article I (such cash amount being referred to herein as the "Exchange Fund").  The Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Company; provided that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or of any agency thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Corporation, respectively, or in deposit accounts, certificates of deposit or banker's acceptances of, repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements with, or Eurodollar time deposits purchased from, commercial banks with capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating in excess of $500 million (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank which are then publicly available at the SEC or otherwise). Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.  To the extent that there are any losses with respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Paying Agent to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by Section 1.7(a)(i), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Paying Agent to make such payments contemplated by Section 1.7(a)(i).  The receipt of the Exchange Fund by the Paying Agent shall be sufficient to discharge the Parent's obligation to pay the amount of cash in question, and the Parent shall have no responsibility or liability, under any circumstances, for the allocation thereof among the Company Ordinary Shareholders.  The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.
 
7

Section 2.3            Payment Procedures with respect to Company Ordinary Shares.
 
Promptly following the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Company shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of (i) a certificate or certificates (the "Certificates") which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Ordinary Shares and (ii) uncertificated Company Ordinary Shares (the "Uncertificated Shares"), in each case, whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.7(a)(i) (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent) (the "Letter of Transmittal"), (B) a declaration and/or a valid withholding certificate in which the beneficial owner of Company Ordinary Shares (other than Company 102 Shares) provides certain information necessary for Parent to determine whether any amounts need to be withheld from the Merger Consideration payable to such beneficial owner pursuant to the terms of the Ordinance (in each case, subject to the terms of the Withholding Tax Ruling, if obtained), the Code, or any provision of state, local, Israeli or other non-U.S. Law, and/or (C) instructions (including instructions from the Paying Agent) for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.  Upon surrender of Certificates (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with the Letter of Transmittal and the declaration for Tax withholding purposes and/or a valid withholding certificate (and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent), duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Section 1.7(a)(i) (less any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.  Upon receipt of an "agent's message" by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, together with the Letter of Transmittal and the declaration for Tax withholding purposes and/or a valid withholding certificate, as applicable (and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent or Parent), duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Uncertificated Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Section 1.7(a)(i) (less any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof), and the transferred Uncertificated Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.  The Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates and transferred Uncertificated Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices.  No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of such Certificates and Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Article II.  Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.  No Effective Time Holder shall be entitled to receive any amount held by the Paying Agent, unless such holder surrenders its Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Uncertificated Share and an executed Letter of Transmittal for payment in accordance with this Section 2.3.  Payments and deliveries to be made under this Agreement shall be made in US dollars by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to such address or bank accounts as shall be set forth in the Letter of Transmittal.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3, any Merger Consideration payable in respect of Company 102 Shares shall be transferred by the Paying Agent, in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.3 (including the requirement to surrender the Certificates and Letter of Transmittal by the 102 Trustee with respect to such Company 102 Shares), to the 102 Trustee, for the benefit of the beneficial owners thereof, and be released by the 102 Trustee to the beneficial holders of such Company 102 Shares, in accordance with the requirements of Section 102 of the Ordinance and the Option Tax Ruling, if obtained.

Section 2.4            Payment Procedures With Respect to Company Options and Company RSUs.
 
(i)          At or as soon as practicable following the Effective Time on the Closing Date, Parent shall transfer (i) the aggregate Option Consideration with respect to Company Options subject to Section 102 of the Ordinance (the "Company 102 Options"), and (ii) the aggregate RSUs Consideration with respect to RSUs granted under Section 102 of the Ordinance (the "Company 102 RSUs" and, together with the Company 102 Options, the "Company 102 Securities"), to the 102 Trustee, on behalf of holders of Company 102 Options and Company 102 RSUs, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 102 of the Ordinance and the Options Tax Ruling, if obtained (the "102 Amounts").  The 102 Amounts shall be held in trust by the 102 Trustee pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance and the Options Tax Ruling, if obtained, and shall be released by the 102 Trustee, together with any interest earned thereon by virtue of the investment of such amounts by the 102 Trustee, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 102 of the Ordinance and the Options Tax Ruling, if obtained.

(d)          If any Antitakeover Laws are or may become applicable to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and the Company Board of Directors shall promptly grant such approvals and use commercially reasonable efforts to take such other lawful actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger, as the case may be, and otherwise take such other commercially reasonable and lawful actions to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute, and any regulations promulgated thereunder, on such transactions.
 
Section 5.4           Shareholders Meeting; Proxy.
 
(a)          As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date hereof, the Company shall (i) establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, and, following the applicable notice period, convene and hold a special meeting of its shareholders (the "Company Shareholders Meeting") for the purpose of obtaining the Company Required Vote, (ii) publish the notice of the Company Shareholders Meeting and (iii) otherwise comply with the notice requirements applicable to the Company pursuant to the ICL and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the Company Articles of Association and Company Memorandum or any other applicable Law. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than the fifteenth (15th) Business Day after the date hereof, the Company shall prepare and furnish to the SEC under cover of Form 6-K a proxy statement for the Company Shareholders Meeting (the "Proxy Statement").  Unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1 or as Parent and the Company may otherwise agree, the Company Shareholders Meeting shall be held no later than 45 days after publication of the notice of the Company Shareholders Meeting.  Subject to Section 5.6, the Company shall include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement.
 
(b)          If the Company determines that it is required to file any document other than the Proxy Statement with the SEC in connection with the Merger pursuant to applicable Law (such document, as amended or supplemented, an "Other Required Company Filing"), then the Company shall promptly prepare and file such Other Required Company Filing with the SEC.  The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement and any Other Required Company Filing to comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules of the SEC and FINRA.  The Company may not file the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing with the SEC without providing Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, which comments shall be considered by the Company in good faith.  On the date of filing, the date of mailing to the shareholders of the Company (if applicable) and at the time of the Company Shareholders Meeting, neither the Proxy Statement nor any Other Required Company Filing will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not false or misleading.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no covenant is made by the Company with respect to any information supplied by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing.  The information supplied by the Company or its Affiliates for inclusion or incorporation by reference in any Other Required Parent Filings will not, at the time that such Other Required Parent Filing is filed with the SEC, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.
 
51

(c)          If Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates is required to file any document with the SEC in connection with the Merger or the Company Shareholders Meeting pursuant to applicable Law (an "Other Required Parent Filing"), then Parent and Merger Sub shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, promptly prepare and file such Other Required Parent Filing with the SEC.  Parent and Merger Sub shall cause, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to cause, any Other Required Parent Filing to comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules of the SEC and FINRA.  Neither Parent or Merger Sub nor any of their respective Affiliates may file any Other Required Parent Filing (or any amendment thereto) with the SEC without providing the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, which comments shall be considered by Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates in good faith.  On the date of filing, the date of mailing to the Company Ordinary Shareholders (if applicable) and at the time of the Company Shareholders Meeting, no Other Required Parent Filing will knowingly contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not false or misleading.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no covenant is made by Parent or Merger Sub with respect to any information supplied by the Company or its Affiliates for inclusion or incorporation by reference in any Other Required Parent Filing.  The information supplied by Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing will not, at the time that the Proxy Statement or such Other Required Company Filing is filed with the SEC, knowingly contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.
 
(d)          Each of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall furnish all information concerning it and its Affiliates, if applicable, as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the preparation and filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement and any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Parent Filing.  If at any time prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting any information relating to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates should be discovered by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Parent Filing, as the case may be, so that such filing would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the party that discovers such information will promptly notify the other, and an appropriate amendment or supplement to such filing describing such information will be promptly prepared and filed with the SEC by the appropriate party and, to the extent required by applicable Law or the SEC or its staff, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company.
 
(e)          The Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, may not communicate in writing with the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement, any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Parent Filing, as the case may be, without providing the other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such written communication, which comments shall be considered by the filing party in good faith.
 
52

(f)          The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, will advise the other, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for (A) any amendment or revisions to the Proxy Statement, any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Parent Filing, as the case may be, (B) any receipt of comments from the SEC or its staff on the Proxy Statement, any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Parent Filing, as the case may be, or (C) any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for additional information in connection therewith.
 
(g)          In the event that Parent or any Person listed in Section 320(c) of the ICL casts any votes in respect of the Merger, Parent shall disclose to the Company its interest in the Company Ordinary Shares so voted.  At the Company Shareholders Meeting, Parent and Merger Sub shall cause any Company Ordinary Shares owned by them and their Affiliates (if any) to be voted in favor of the approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
(h)          Once the Company has established a record date, the Company shall not change such record date or establish a different record date for the Company Shareholders Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent.  In the event that the date of the Company Shareholders Meeting as originally called is for any reason adjourned or postponed or otherwise delayed, the Company agrees that unless Parent shall have otherwise approved in writing, it shall implement such adjournment or postponement or other delay in such a way that the Company does not establish a new record date for the Shareholders Meeting, as so adjourned, postponed or delayed.
 
(i)           The Company may not adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholders Meeting; provided, however, nothing herein shall prevent the Company from postponing or adjourning the Company Shareholders Meeting if (x) there are holders of an insufficient number of Company Ordinary Shares present or represented by a proxy at the Company Shareholders Meeting to constitute a quorum at the Company Shareholders Meeting or (y) the Company is required to postpone or adjourn the Company Shareholders Meeting by court order or a request from the SEC or its staff.
 
(j)           Subject to Section 5.6, at the Shareholders Meeting, the Company shall, through the Company Board of Directors, make the Company Recommendation and, unless there has been a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall (x) take all reasonable lawful action to solicit the Company Required Vote, and (y) publicly reaffirm the Company Recommendation within two (2) Business Days after any request by Parent. Notwithstanding any Company Adverse Recommendation Change, unless this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to, and in accordance with Article VII, this Agreement shall be submitted to the Company Ordinary Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining the Company Required Vote. The Company shall, upon the reasonable request of Parent, advise Parent at least on a daily basis on each of the last ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the Shareholders Meeting, as to the aggregate tally of the proxies received by the Company with respect to the Company Required Vote. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) shall be the only matter (other than procedural matters) which the Company shall propose to be acted on by the Company Ordinary Shareholders at the Shareholders Meeting.

54

(b)           The sole shareholder of Merger Sub has approved the Merger subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted hereunder) of all the conditions to Closing (other than those that by their nature may only be satisfied or waived at Closing).  No later than three days after the date of such approval, Merger Sub shall (in accordance with Section 317(b) of the ICL and the regulations thereunder) inform the Companies Registrar of such approval.
 
Section 5.6             No Solicitation of Transactions.

From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, the Company will not and will not authorize or permit any Subsidiary, or Representative to, directly or indirectly:

(iii)          grant any waiver, amendment or release under any standstill or confidentiality agreement or any rights agreement or Takeover Statutes (provided that the Company shall not be required to enforce, and shall be permitted to waive, any provision that prohibits or purports to prohibit a confidential proposal being made to the Company Board of Directors (directly or indirectly through the Company's Representatives) or would restrict the Company's rights under this Agreement); or
 
(iv)          approve, endorse, recommend or execute or enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) relating to an Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or that contradicts this Agreement or requires the Company to abandon this Agreement.
 
55

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.6(a), at any time prior to, but not after, obtaining the Company Required Vote, the Company may:
 
(i)             provide information in response to a request therefor to a Third Party who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement if and only if, prior to providing such information, the Company has received from such Third Party so requesting such information an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided that the Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) make available to Parent any material information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries that is provided to such Third Party making such Acquisition Proposal that is given such access and that was not previously made available to Parent or the Parent Representatives; or
 
(ii)            engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with a Third Party who has made such an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal;
 
provided that, prior to taking any action described in Section 5.6(b)(i) or Section 5.6(b)(ii), (A) the Company Board of Directors shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (B) the Company Board of Directors shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal; provided, further, that the Company and its Representatives may contact such Third Party to clarify the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal prior to making any such determinations. The Company shall require any Third Party submitting an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal to provide a definitive agreement that marks any proposed changes to the terms of this Agreement.
 
(c)           Except as expressly provided by Section 5.6(d) or Section 5.6(e), at any time after the date hereof, neither the Company Board of Directors nor any committee thereof nor any of the directors, whether acting in their individual capacity or as a director, shall:

56

(ii)          cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal.
 
(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Required Vote, if the Company has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from any Person that is not withdrawn and that the Company Board of Directors concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal, then (x) the Company Board of Directors may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Superior Proposal, or (y) the Company Board of Directors may authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if and only if:
 
(i)          the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law;
 
(ii)          the Company shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 5.6 with respect to such Acquisition Proposal;
 
(iii)          the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent at least two (2) Business Days in advance (the "Notice Period"), to the effect that the Company Board of Directors has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that is not withdrawn and that the Company Board of Directors concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal and, absent any revision to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company Board of Directors has resolved to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and/or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d), which notice shall specify the basis for such Company Adverse Recommendation Change and/or termination, including the identity of the party making the Superior Proposal and the material terms thereof; and
 
(A)          prior to effecting such Company Adverse Recommendation Change or termination, the Company shall, and shall cause their financial and legal advisors to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent and the Parent Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided that in the event of any material revisions to the Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board of Directors has determined to be a Superior Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.6 (including this Section 5.6(d)) with respect to such new written notice; and
 
(B)          any such termination shall be in accordance with Section 7.1(e), including the payment of the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.2(b).
 
57

(e)          Nothing contained in this Section 5.6 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company or the Company Board of Directors from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under U.S. federal or state Law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal or this Agreement, including taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to Company Ordinary Shareholders) or (ii) making any "stop-look-and-listen" communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act and any such disclosures or communications shall not be considered a Company Adverse Recommendation Change unless explicitly provided to the contrary.
 
(f)          The Company agrees that it will promptly (and, in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Parent if any proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by, or any non-public information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company or any of its Representatives from or by, respectively, any Third Party indicating, in connection with such notice, the identity of the Person or group of Persons making such offer or proposal, and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements) and thereafter shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis, of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and any material change in the status of any such discussions or negotiations.
 
(g)          The Company agrees that in the event any of its Representatives takes any action that, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 5.6, then the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 5.6.
 
(h)          Solely for purposes of this Section 5.6, it is understood and agreed that, in the absence of compelling legal authority to the contrary, the Company, the Company Board of Directors and the Company's outside legal counsel shall be entitled to rely on and deem applicable to the Company and the Company Board of Directors the Law applicable to corporations incorporated in Delaware for purposes of making the conclusions contemplated by this Section 5.6 (and providing advice with respect thereto) relating to the fiduciary obligations of such Person for purposes of this Agreement, and that references to the "fiduciary duties" of the Company Board of Directors and other terms of similar import shall, for purposes of this Agreement, include reference to such Delaware law, and shall assume that Israeli law follows Delaware law with respect thereto.  The immediately preceding sentence is intended only to govern the contractual rights of the parties to this Agreement; it being understood and agreed that nothing in this Agreement is intended to modify any fiduciary duties of the Company Board of Directors under applicable Law or give rise to any breach or violation of this Agreement on the part of the Company by reason of the fact that the Company Board of Directors has complied with the Law of the State of Israel, rather than the Delaware Law, governing the duties owed by a director of a company formed under the Laws of the State of Israel to such company, its shareholders or any other Person.
 
58

Section 5.7           Public Announcements.
 
Except as permitted under Section 5.4, Section 5.5 and Section 5.6, the Company and Parent shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other parties hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that a party hereto may, without the prior consent of the other parties hereto, issue such press release or make such public statement as may be required by Law or Order or the applicable rules of Nasdaq if it has used its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other parties hereto and to obtain such party's consent but has been unable to do so prior to the time such press release or public statement is so required to be issued or made.
 
Section 5.8           Litigation.
 
Without limiting the obligations of the parties hereto in Section 5.3, prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall promptly notify Parent of all lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging, or seeking damages or other relief as a result of, the Merger, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents ("Merger Litigation") including by providing copies of all pleadings with respect thereto) and thereafter keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof.  The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to review and comment on all material filings or responses to be made by the Company in the defense, settlement or prosecution of any Merger Litigation; and consult on the settlement with respect to such Merger Litigation, and the Company will in good faith take such comments into account, and, no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent's prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

59

(b)          From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Company shall maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons with respect to their acts and omissions as directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company occurring prior to the Effective Time, the existing policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by the Company as of the date of this Agreement in the form delivered by the Company to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement (the "Existing D&O Policy"), to the extent that directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage is commercially available; provided, however, that:  (i) Parent and the Surviving Company may substitute for the Existing D&O Policy a policy or policies of comparable coverage, including a "tail" insurance policy; and (ii) the Surviving Company shall not be required to pay annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy (or for any substitute or "tail" policies) in excess of $375,250 (the "Maximum Premium") which amount, the Company hereby represents to be equal to two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the amount paid by the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year.  In the event any future annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute policies) exceed the Maximum Premium, the Surviving Company shall be entitled to reduce the amount of coverage of the Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute or "tail" policies) to the amount of coverage that can be obtained for a premium equal to the Maximum Premium so as to provide for a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Premium.
 
(c)          The rights set forth in this Section 5.9 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, and Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, enforce and honor, to the fullest extent permitted by Law for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, the rights otherwise available to the current officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries by Law, charter, bylaw or Contract, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Persons and their Representatives and nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors' and officers' insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.9 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

60

(e)          The obligations set forth in this Section 5.9 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person (or any other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the "tail" policy referred to in Section 5.9(b) (and their heirs and representatives)) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Person or other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the "tail" policy referred to in Section 5.9(b) (and their heirs and representatives).  Each of the Indemnified Persons or other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the "tail" policy referred to in Section 5.9(b) (and their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.9, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto.  The rights of the Indemnified Persons (and other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the "tail" policy referred to in Section 5.9(b) (and their heirs and representatives)) under this Section 5.9 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the Company Memorandum, the Company Articles of Association the equivalent organizational documents of any Subsidiaries, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or applicable Law (whether at law or in equity).

(a)          Following the date of this Agreement, and no later than fifteen (15) days after the date hereof (unless the Company and Parent mutually agree otherwise), the Company shall instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors and/or accountants to prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling (which shall be confirmed by Parent prior to its submission) confirming that (i) the conversion of the Company 102 Options in accordance with Section 1.7(c) and the Company 102 RSUs in accordance with Section 1.7(d) shall not be regarded as a violation of the "requisite holding period" (as such term is defined in Section 102 of the Ordinance) so long as the respective Option Consideration, RSUs Consideration and the Merger Consideration are deposited with the 102 Trustee until the end of the respective holding period and (ii) the deposit of the respective Option Consideration, RSUs Consideration and Merger Consideration with the Paying Agent and the 102 Trustee shall not be subject to any withholding obligation (which ruling may be subject to customary conditions regularly associated with such a ruling) (the "Options Tax Ruling").  The Company shall include in the request for the Options Tax Ruling a request to exempt Parent, the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent and their respective agents from any withholding obligation with respect to the transfer of the 102 Amounts and the Merger Consideration payable in respect of Company 102 Securities to the 102 Trustee.  If the Options Tax Ruling is not granted prior to the Closing or in accordance with the instructions of the ITA, the Company shall seek to obtain prior to the Closing an interim Tax ruling confirming, among other things, that Parent and any Person acting on its behalf (including the Paying Agent) shall be exempt from Israeli withholding Tax in relation to any payments made with respect to any Company Options or Company Ordinary Shares (whether or not subject to Section 102 of the Ordinance) to the, Paying Agent, the 102 Trustee or the Company in connection with the Merger (the "Interim Options Tax Ruling").  To the extent that prior to the Closing an Interim Options Tax Ruling shall have been obtained, then all references herein to the Options Tax Ruling shall be deemed to refer to such Interim Options Tax Ruling, until such time that a final definitive Options Tax Ruling is obtained.

If the Company becomes obligated to pay the Company Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 7.2(b), Parent and Merger Sub agree that Parent's right to receive the Company Termination Fee from the Company shall be Parent's and Merger Sub's sole and exclusive remedy against the Company and the Company Group and, upon payment of the Company Termination Fee, neither the Company nor any member of the Company Group shall have any liability or obligation to Parent or Merger Sub relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
70

(c)          Expense Reimbursement.

(d)          Acknowledgment.  The parties acknowledge that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 7.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, (ii) the damages resulting from termination of this Agreement under circumstances where a Company Termination Fee is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and therefore, the amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.2(b) are not a penalty but rather constitute liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) without the agreements contained in this Section 7.2, Parent would not have entered into this Agreement.
 
Section 7.3           Effect of Termination.
 
In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent as provided in Section 7.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Parent Group or the Company Group, except that (a) the provisions of Section 5.2(c), Section 7.1, Section 7.2, this Section 7.3 and Article VIII (and the defined terms referenced therein) shall survive such termination; and (b)  nothing herein shall relieve any party or parties hereto, as applicable, from Liability for any fraud committed in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.  In addition to the foregoing, no termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties hereto set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement which shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their respective terms and remain fully enforceable in accordance with its respective terms.
 
71

Section 7.4           Amendment.
 
This Agreement may be amended by the parties in writing by action of their respective boards of directors at any time before or after the Company Required Vote has been obtained and prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Merger by the Companies Registrar; provided, however, that, after the Company Required Vote shall have been obtained, no such amendment, modification or supplement shall be made which by Law requires the further approval of the Company Ordinary Shareholders without such further approval.  This Agreement may not be amended, changed or supplemented or otherwise modified except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of all of the parties.
 
Section 7.5           Extension; Waiver.
 
At any time prior to the Effective Time, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or (c) subject to the provisions of Section 7.4, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of the other parties contained in this Agreement.  Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party hereto against whom the waiver is to be effective.  The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.
 
ARTICLE VIII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 8.8            Remedies .
 
(a)           Remedies of Parent and Merger Sub.
 
(i)          Specific Performance.  Prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to seek and obtain an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the Company in the courts described in Section 8.11 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, including the Company's obligation to consummate the Merger.

(iii)         Expense Reimbursement. Parent shall be entitled to reimbursement of Parent Expenses if and when payable pursuant to Section 7.2(c).

(iv)         Termination.  Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1.
 
(v)          Monetary Damages.  Upon termination of the Agreement and solely to the extent this Agreement is terminated, the Parent Group shall have the right to seek or obtain money damages from the Company under this Agreement for breach by the Company of any representations, warranties and covenants contained herein; provided, however, that, other than in the case of fraud, if the Company Termination Fee payable under Section 7.2(b) is paid, such payment shall be considered liquidated damages and no further monetary damages shall be payable to Parent Group under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.
 
(b)          Remedies of the Company.
 
(i)            Specific Performance.  Prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, the Company shall be entitled to seek and obtain an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub in the courts described in Section 8.11 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, including the Parent's and Merger Sub's obligation to consummate the Merger. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be entitled to a remedy of specific performance or other equitable remedies against any Lender Party, except to the extent that such Lender Party is an Affiliate of Parent.
 
(ii)           Termination.  The Company shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1.
 
(iii)          Monetary Damages. Upon termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h) or Section 7.1(i), in each case in connection with an intentional and willful material breach by Parent or Merger Sub of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement (but subject to the proviso below), the Company Group shall have the right to seek money damages from Parent or Merger Sub under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to seek both specific performance and monetary damages simultaneously, so long as it may only obtain either specific performance or monetary damages and if monetary damages are so awarded, then the Agreement shall be deemed to have been validly terminated, pursuant to Section 7.1(h) or Section 7.1(i), as applicable. Under no circumstances will the collective monetary damages payable by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates for such breaches exceed an amount equal to $2,404,228 in the aggregate for all such breaches (the "Parent Damages Cap"). In no event shall any member of the Company Group have the right to seek or obtain money damages or expense reimbursement (whether at law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) from Parent, Merger Sub or any other member of the Parent Group in an amount, in the aggregate, in excess of the Parent Damages Cap. Other than the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, in no event will any member of the Parent Group or any other Person other than Parent and Merger Sub have any liability for monetary damages or expense reimbursement (whether at law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) to the Company or any other Person relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company, each of its Subsidiaries and each other member of the Company Group hereby waives any claims against the Lender Parties (other than any Lender Party which is part of Parent Group) and hereby agrees that in no event shall the Lender Parties have any liability or obligation to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other member of the Company Group relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Debt Financing; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.8(b)(iii) shall in any way limit or modify the rights and obligations of Parent, Merger Sub or the Lender Parties under any Contracts entered into in connection with the Debt Financing. In addition to the rights of Parent and Merger Sub hereunder, Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled, at Parent and Merger Sub's sole election, to settle any claims arising from or relating to this Agreement by agreeing to consummate the Merger in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
76

(c)          Acknowledgement Regarding Available Remedies.  Solely to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of this Section 8.8, the parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions.  Solely to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of this Section 8.8, the parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 8.11 without proof of damages or otherwise, and that such explicit rights of specific enforcement are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without such rights, none of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub would have entered into this Agreement.  Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties hereto have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of this Section 8.8.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of this Section 8.8) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.
 
(d)          Sole Remedy.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the remedies provided for in this Section 8.8 shall be the parties' sole and exclusive remedies for any breaches of this Agreement or any claims relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that such party may have against the other party, the Parent Group or the Company Group, as the case may be, arising under or based upon any Law (including any securities Law, common law or otherwise) for any breach of the representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 8.8 shall relieve any party from any liability for fraud.
 
77

Section 8.9            Payment Guarantee by and Representations of Ultimate Parent.
 
(a)          Ultimate Parent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the due and punctual payment of all amounts due and payable by Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to Sections 1.7, 5.9 and 8.8(b) as and when due and payable.  The foregoing notwithstanding, Ultimate Parent may assert as a defense to such payment any defense to any such payment that Parent could assert pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, other than any such defense arising out of, due to or as a result of the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception with respect to Parent or an Affiliate of Parent. Ultimate Parent acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the guarantees and waivers of Ultimate Parent set forth herein are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.  The guaranty of Ultimate Parent herein is one of payment, not collection, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Ultimate Parent to enforce such guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against Parent or Merger Sub.  Ultimate Parent expressly and irrevocably waives all suretyship defenses, all defenses on the basis of promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance hereof, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor, protest and all other notices of any kind, and all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, and any right to require the marshaling of assets; provided, however, Ultimate Parent expressly reserves any rights of set-off or counterclaims and any other defenses that Parent or Merger Sub may have under the terms of this Agreement. Ultimate Parent's obligations under this Section 8.9 shall terminate 12 months after the Effective Time.
 
(b)          Ultimate Parent is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the Laws of the State of Delaware.  Ultimate Parent has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of Ultimate Parent’s obligations under this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Ultimate Parent and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Ultimate Parent are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Ultimate Parent and, assuming due execution and delivery by the Company, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Ultimate Parent, enforceable against Ultimate Parent in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception.  As of the date of this Agreement, Ultimate Parent is an Affiliate of Parent.  No expirations of waiting periods are required and no filings, notices, reports, consents, registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations are required to be made or obtained by Ultimate Parent with, nor are any required to be obtained by Ultimate Parent from, any Governmental Entity, in connection with Ultimate Parent’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance by Ultimate Parent of its obligations under this Agreement, or in connection with the continuing operation of the business of Ultimate Parent and its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time, except as would not prevent, materially delay or materially impair Ultimate Parent’s ability to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Ultimate Parent do not, and the consummation by Ultimate Parent of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will not, constitute or result in (i) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the organizational documents of Ultimate Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) conflict with or result in a violation of any Law or Order of any Governmental Entity, or by which any property or asset of Ultimate Parent is bound or affected, except in the case of clause (ii) as would not prevent, materially delay or materially impair Ultimate Parent’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
 
78

(c)          Except for the express written representations and warranties made by Ultimate Parent in this Agreement, Ultimate Parent does not make any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to itself, any of its Affiliates (other than Parent and Merger Sub) or any of their respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities, conditions (financial or otherwise) or prospects in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Ultimate Parent expressly disclaims any such other representations or warranties, and the Company acknowledges and agrees that none of the Company or its Affiliates or Representatives has relied on or are relying on any representations or warranties regarding Ultimate Parent, other than the express written representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Section 8.9.
 
Section 8.10          Severability.
 
Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provision hereof.  If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid, legal and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.  In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision with a valid, legal and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term.
 
Section 8.11          Consent to Jurisdiction; Venue.
 
Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of competent jurisdiction located in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel for the purpose of any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect to such action may be heard and determined exclusively in such courts.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.  Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the service of any summons and complaint and any other process in any other action relating to the Merger, on behalf of itself or its property, by the personal delivery of copies of such process to such party.
