Proposal No. 4

APPROVAL OF THE ACCELERATION OF VESTING OF 2,000 RESTRICTED SHARES
GRANTED TO MS. DANA TAMIR-TAVOR, A FORMER DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY

On December 20, 2007, the Company's shareholders approved the grant of 12,000 restricted shares of the Company (the "Restricted Shares") to each of the then serving directors of the Company, including Ms. Dana Tamir-Tavor (and other than Mr. Shlomo (Tom) Wyler). The Restricted Shares were granted to each director in three equal consecutive annual grants on February 1 of each of the years 2008, 2009 and 2010. Each grant consisted of 4,000 Restricted Shares that vest over a two-year period (50% each year).  For additional details on the said grant, see the Company's proxy statement dated November 7, 2007.

Ms. Tamir-Tavor who served as a director of the Company since September 2000 decided to resign from her service as a director in effect from April 18, 2011 (the "Termination Date"). At that time, the vesting of 10,000 Restricted Shares (out of 12,000 Restricted Shares granted to Ms. Tamir-Tavor) had already lapsed and Ms. Tamir-Tavor was entitled to such 10,000 Restricted Shares. The vesting of the remaining 2,000 Restricted Shares, that were granted to Ms. Tamir-Tavor on February 1, 2010, was due on January 31, 2012 only. Since Ms. Tamir-Tavor had resigned from the Board of Directors on the Termination Date, under the terms of grant of such Restricted Shares, she was not entitled to the remaining 2,000 Restricted Shares.
 
Acknowledging the great contribution of Ms. Tamir-Tavor to the Company during her service as a director, the Audit Committee and Board of Directors resolved to accelerate the vesting of the 2,000 remaining Restricted Shares granted to Ms. Tamir-Tavor as of the Termination Date, thus allowing Ms. Tamir-Tavor to receive such 2,000 Restricted Shares.

Since the proposed acceleration of vesting of such 2,000 Restricted Shares is provided to Ms. Tamir-Tavor in her capacity as a former director of the Company, the Company's shareholders are also required to approve such acceleration.

It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
 
"RESOLVED, that the acceleration of vesting of 2,000 Restricted Shares granted to Ms. Dana Tamir-Tavor as of April 18, 2011, a former director of the Company, having been approved by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors, and as presented to the shareholders, be, and same hereby is, approved."
 
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of this proposed resolution.

Board of Directors’ Discretion

Under the 1999 Plan, the Board of Directors has discretion regarding certain items under the Plan, inter alia, its administration and construction and interpretation of the terms of the 1999 Plan.

Fair Value of the Options

The Company estimates the fair value of the Options proposed to be granted to Mr. Hilman using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the expected stock price volatility and the expected term of the Options. Expected volatility is calculated based upon actual historical stock price movements. The expected term of the Options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, and is determined based on the simplified method in accordance with SAB No. 110. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company elected to use the simplified method to estimate the expected option term. The Company continues to use the simplified method as it has determined that sufficient data is not available to develop an estimate of the expected option term based upon historical participant behavior. The risk free interest rate is based on the yield from U.S. treasury bonds with an equivalent term. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to pay dividends. The fair value was estimated at the date of Board of Directors' approval using the following weighted average assumptions: Volatility: 61.9%, Risk-free interest rate: 0.96%, Dividend yield: 0% and Expected life of 4.75 years.
 
Accordingly, the fair value of the Options is estimated at approximately US $59,000.
 
It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
 
"RESOLVED, that the grant of 100,000 options exercisable into 100,000 ordinary shares NIS 0.13 nominal value each of the Company to Mr. Alex Hilman, the Company's Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, under the Company's 1999 Israeli Share Option Plan, having been approved by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors, and as presented to the shareholders, be, and same hereby is, approved."

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of this proposed resolution.

The terms of grant of such Options to Mr. Wyler are identical to the terms of grant of the options to Mr. Hilman, see Proposal No. 5 above, except that the tax track available to Mr. Wyler, as the controlling shareholder of the Company, is different from the capital gains tax track afforded to all other directors and officers of the Company.

Under the Amendments, the ISA is allowed to initiate administrative proceedings against entities and individuals with respect to such violations, and to impose various sanctions, including fines, payment of damages to the person or entities harmed as a result of such violations, limitations on the service of any individual as director or officer and suspension or cancellation of certain permits granted to the entity.
 
Under the Amendments, a company is not allowed to indemnify or insure its directors and officers in connection with administrative proceedings initiated against them by the ISA, except that a company is allowed to insure and indemnify its directors and officers for any of the following: (i) financial liability imposed on any director or officer for payment to persons or entities harmed as a result of any violation for which an administrative proceedings has been initiated; (ii) expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with administrative proceedings, including reasonable litigation fees, and including attorney fees.

Accordingly, it is proposed to approve an amendment to the Company’s articles of association to allow the Company to insure and indemnify its directors and officers in connection with administrative proceedings initiated against them by the ISA, as discussed above.

Financial liability that you incur for payment to persons or entities harmed as a result of violations in Administrative Proceedings, as detailed in section 52(54)(A)(1)(a) of the Israeli Securities Law, 1965 (the "Securities Law").   For this purpose "Administrative Proceeding" shall mean a proceeding pursuant to Chapters H3 (Imposition of Monetary Sanction by the Israel Securities Authority), H4 (Imposition of Administrative Enforcement Means by the Administrative Enforcement Committee) or I1 (Settlement for the Avoidance of Commencing Proceedings or Cessation of Proceedings, Conditioned upon Conditions) of the Securities Law, as shall be amended from time to time.

C-2

 
 
 
1.3.
The Maximum Indemnification Amount shall not be affected in any way by the existence of, or payment under, insurance policies. Payment of the indemnification shall not affect your right to receive insurance payments, if you receive the same (either personally or through the Company or on your behalf) and the Company will not be required to indemnify you for any sums that were, in fact, already paid to you or for you in respect of insurance or any other indemnification obligations made to you by any third party.  In the event there is any payment made under this Letter and such payment is covered by an insurance policy, the Company shall be entitle to collect such amount of payment from the insurance proceeds.
 
 
1.4.
In the event the indemnification amount the Company is required to pay to its Officers, as set forth in Section 1.1 above, exceeds at a certain time the Maximum Indemnification Amount (or the balance thereof after deducting any indemnification amounts paid or payable by the Company to any of its Officers at such time) in accordance with Section 1.2 above, the Maximum Indemnification Amount or its remaining balance will be allocated between the Officers entitled to indemnification, in the manner that the amount of indemnification that each of the Officers will actually receive will be calculated in accordance with the ratio between the amount each individual Officer may be indemnified for, and the aggregate amount that all of the relevant Officers involved in the event may be indemnified for.
 
 
1.5.
Upon the occurrence of an event that by its virtue you are likely to be entitled to indemnification in accordance with Section 1.1 above, the Company shall place at your disposal, from time to time, the funds required to cover the expenditures and payments that are connected to handling the legal proceeding, in a manner that you shall not be required to pay for, or personally finance the legal expenses, subject to the conditions and instructions in this Indemnification Letter.
 
 
1.6.
In order to avoid any doubt, upon the occurrence of an event that may entitle you to indemnification, you shall be entitled to appoint an advocate of your choice, with the exception of an advocate whom the Company deems unacceptable for reasonable cause, provided that you shall immediately inform the Company of the identity of the advocate, when it becomes necessary to appoint such advocate. In the event you do not inform the Company regarding your choice of advocate in compliance with the above mentioned, the Company shall have discretion to appoint an advocate on your behalf.
 
2.
The obligation to indemnify in accordance with this Letter is subject to the statements set forth in this Section 2 and to any applicable law:
 
 
2.1.
There is nothing by law to prevent your being indemnified.
 
 
C-3

 
 
 
2.2.
You shall inform the Company of every legal proceeding that shall be brought against you in connection with any event that may entitle you to indemnification, and of every warning made to you in writing, pertaining to legal proceedings that may be commenced against you, and this shall be done in a timely manner, immediately after you shall first be aware of such, and you shall provide the Company or to whom the Company shall instruct you to, all documents in connection with such proceedings.
 
 
2.3.
Despite the provisions of Section 1.6 above, the Company is entitled to take upon itself the care of your defense in the legal proceeding and/or to give the above care to any prominent advocate that the Company shall select for this purpose (except an advocate that shall not be reasonably acceptable to you) subject to the fulfillment of all of the following conditions:  (a) The Company shall inform the holder of this Indemnification Letter, within 45 days from the time of receiving the notice as said in Section 2.2 above (or within a shorter period of time – if the matter requires filing a statement of defense or a response to a proceeding), that it shall indemnify the holder of the Indemnification Letter according to this Letter; and  (b) The legal proceeding against the holder of the Indemnification Letter shall solely entail a claim for monetary damages.  The Company and/or the aforementioned advocate shall be entitled to act with their exclusive discretion and to bring the proceeding to a close; the appointed advocate shall act and shall owe its duty of loyalty to the Company and to you.  In the event that a conflict of interest shall arise between you and the Company, you shall inform the Company of such conflict and shall be entitled to appoint an advocate on your behalf, and the provisions of this Indemnification Letter shall apply to expenses you may incur as a result of such appointment.  In the event that the Company decides to settle a monetary obligation or to decide a monetary obligation by arbitration, or by mediation or by settlement the Company shall be entitled to do so as long as the lawsuit or the threat of a lawsuit against you shall be fully withdrawn. Following the request of the Company you shall sign any document that shall empower the Company and/or an advocate as mentioned above, to act on your name with regard to your defense in the above-mentioned proceedings and to represent you in all matters pertaining to these proceedings, as set forth above.
 
 
2.4.
You shall cooperate with the Company and/or with any advocates as set forth above in every reasonable manner that shall be required from you by any of them in connection with the handling of such legal proceedings, all in accordance with Section 1.2 above. You shall not bear any additional legal expenses due to such cooperation.
 
 
2.5.
Subject to the provisions of this Indemnification Letter, whether or not the Company shall act in accordance with section 2.3 above, the Company shall cover litigation expenses in a manner that you shall not be required to pay or finance such litigation expenses yourself.
 
 
2.6.
Your indemnification in connection to the legal proceeding of any actions against you, as set forth in this Letter, will not be enforceable in connection with amounts that you shall be required to pay as a result of a settlement or arbitration, unless the Company agrees, in advance and in writing, to the settlement, or to the arbitration award.
 
 
C-4

 
 
 
2.7.
The Company shall not be required to pay, pursuant to this Letter, monies that were actually paid, to you, or on your behalf or in your stead, through an insurance policy that the Company procured or through an obligation to any indemnification that was made by any other person other than the Company.  In addition, in the event of the indemnification hereunder is being paid in respect of your serving as an Officer in any Subsidiary, such indemnification will only be paid after all your rights to insurance and indemnification from such Subsidiary will have been exhausted, if and to the extent they exist.
 
In order to avoid any doubt, it shall be clarified that the indemnification amount pursuant to this Letter shall be independent of, (and in addition) to the amount that shall be paid (if paid) pursuant to an insurance policy and/or any other indemnification.
 
 
2.8.
Upon your request to an execution of a payment in connection with any event pursuant to this Letter, the Company shall take all necessary steps according to any applicable law to pay such payment and will do all that is required to obtain any approval that is required. If any approval is required for the above payment and that payment shall not be approved for any reason, such payment, or any part of it, that will not be approved, as said above, shall be subject to the approval of a court and the Company shall take all necessary steps to obtain the court’s approval.
 
3.
The obligations of the Company according to this Letter shall remain valid even if you have ceased to be an Officer of the Company, provided that acts for which you are given a commitment of indemnification were performed or shall be performed during your service as an Officer of the Company.
 
4.
In the event the Company pays to you, or in your place, any amount pertaining to this Letter in connection with a legal proceeding as stated above, and afterwards it shall be determined that you are not entitled to any indemnification from the Company for any reason whatsoever, the sums paid by the Company shall be considered a loan that was granted to you by the Company, and shall be linked to the Consumer Price Index and accrue interest in accordance with the Income Tax Regulations (Determination of the interest rate), 1985, as amended from time to time. You will be required to repay these sums to the Company when requested to do so in writing by the Company and in accordance with a payment schedule that the Company shall determine.
 
5.
The terms contained in this Letter will be construed in accordance with the Companies Law, and in the absence of any definition in the Companies Law, pursuant to the Securities Law, 5728-1968.
 
6.
The obligations of the Company according to this Indemnification Letter shall be interpreted broadly and in a manner that shall facilitate its execution, to the extent permitted by law, and for the purposes for which it was intended.  In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Letter and any provision of the law, said provision of the law shall supersede the specific provision in this Letter, but shall not limit or diminish the validity of the remaining provisions of this Letter.
 
 
C-5

 
 
7.
The indemnification under this Letter will enter into effect upon your signing a copy of the same in the appropriate place, and the delivery of such signed copy to the Company. It is hereby expressly agreed and understood that this Indemnification Letter does not derogate in any way from any indemnification undertaking the Company has made to you; provided however, that the aggregate indemnification amount pursuant to all the Indemnification Letters issued or that shall be issued by the Company will not exceed the Maximum Indemnification Amount.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Indemnification Letter shall be declared or found void for any reason whatsoever, then any previous undertaking by the Company for indemnification towards you, to the extent granted, shall remain in full force and effect, subject to any applicable law.
 
8.
The Company may, at its sole discretion and at any time, may revoke its undertaking to indemnify you hereunder, or reduce the Maximum Indemnification Amount, or limit the events to which it applies, either in regard to all the Officers or to some of them, to the extent it relates only, to events that will apply after the date of such change, provided that prior notice has been given to the Officer of the Company’s intention to do so, in writing at least 60 days before the date on which such decision will enter into effect. For the avoidance of any doubt, it is hereby clarified that any such decision will not have retroactive effect of any kind whatsoever and the Indemnification Letter, prior to such change or revocation, as the case may be, will continue to apply and be in full force and effect for all purposes in relation to any event that has preceded such change or revocation, even if the proceeding in respect thereof has been filed against the Officer after the change or revocation of the Indemnification Letter. In all other cases, this Indemnification Letter may not be changed, unless the Company and yourself have signed it.
 
9.
This Letter does not constitute a contract for the benefit of any third party and is not assignable. For the avoidance of any doubt, in the event of death (God forbids), this Letter will apply to you and your estate.
 
10.
No waiver, delay, forbearance to act or extension granted by the Company or by you will be construed in any circumstances as a waiver of the rights hereunder or by law, and will not prevent any such party from taking all legal and other steps as will be required in order to enforce such rights.
 
11.
The foregoing does not derogate from the Company’s right to indemnify you retroactively in accordance with the articles of association of the Company and subject to any applicable law.
 
 
C-6

 
 
12.
The law of the State of Israel shall govern this Letter and all issues related thereto, without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles.  The courts in Tel Aviv, Israel shall have the exclusive local and international jurisdiction, in connection with this Indemnification Letter, except if an indemnification claim is related to legal proceeding, already filed by a third party in a different court.
