2.19 Except for Appendix 2.19, there are no liens and/or attachments on the
assets of the Company and/or of any of the Subsidiaries.
2.20 Except for the actions and proceedings described in Appendix 2.20,
there are no claims or legal proceedings pending against the Company
and/or any of the Subsidiaries, in a court, in arbitration proceedings
or any other proceeding, and there are no judicial decisions binding
the Company and/or any of the Subsidiaries which have not yet been

Except for that described in Appendix 2.20(A), the legal counsel of the
Company has not received, whether directly from any third party or
indirectly through the management level of the Company, any threat,
written or oral, of filing a claim against the Company and/or any of

2.22 The Company and the Subsidiaries have made the provisions in the
financial statements (attached as Appendices 2.13(A) and 2.13(B)) in
respect of their employees in accordance with any agreement to which
they are signatories. The provisions which the Subsidiaries make in the
above financial statements are based on 80% of the total wages, a
percentage that constitutes, in the opinion of the Company's
management, about 100% of the determining wages with regard to
severance pay as laid down in law, in accordance with the collective
labour agreements that bind the Company and/or the Subsidiaries,
insofar as they exist, or a higher percentage of the wages pursuant to
personal employment agreements. If the Company and/or any of the
Subsidiaries implement an efficiency plan that includes downsizing,
they are obligated to pay associated workers the benefits described in
the downsizing agreement to which they are signatories, if such an
agreement exists. The business condition of the Company or the
Subsidiaries and the forecast of the management of the Company and/or
of the Subsidiaries for the coming years, does not necessitate
downsizing, and therefore there is no provision in the financial
statements for implementation of any downsizing plan, including with
regard to employees included in named lists for downsizing, insofar as
such lists were prepared.
2.23 In connection with a fire which occurred at the plant of Tadiran
Systems and Tadiran Spectralink in March 2001, those companies
expended, up to 31 December 2001, a total of US $29,630,000
(twenty-nine million, six hundred and thirty thousand US dollars) for
the restoration and repair of the fire damages, and have received from
The Israeli Phoenix Insurance Association Ltd. (in this paragraph -
"the Insurance Company"), on account of those rights, the sum of US
$9,950,0-00 (nine million, nine hundred and fifty thousand US dollars).
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of the Company as at
31 December 2001 include, under the Company's assets, US $19,680,000
(nineteen million, six hundred and eighty thousand US dollars) as an
"asset payable" from the Insurance Company. The Company's management
expects that during 20902 and 2003, not more than US $10,000,000 (ten
million US dollars) will be expended in connection with the fire
damages. The total amount of the above companies' claim from the
Insurance Company exceeds US $60,000,000 (sixty million US dollars),
where that sum is updated by those companies from time to time so as to
include all the damages they sustained in connection with the fire.
Tadiran Systems and Tadiran Spectralink have acted, to the extent
required at their best discretion, in accordance with the insurance
policy for receipt of the monies due to them from the Insurance
Company. It is hereby clarified that the aforesaid does not constitute
a representation and/or declaration of Koor and/or of the Company with
regard to the total amount that will be paid to the above companies by
the Insurance Company. The aforesaid notwithstanding, if the assets
recorded in the consolidated financial statements of the Company on the
date of signing this Agreement or which are or will be recorded at a
later date - are depreciated in respect of the fire damages by a
cumulative amount of more than US $10,000,000 (ten million US dollars)
(hereinafter in this paragraph - "the Threshold Amount"), any such sum
in excess of the Threshold Amount shall be seen as infringement of the
representation made in this Clause 2.23 above.
2.24 Except in connection with the holdings of the Company in BVR as
described in Appendix 2.6 and with the representations and declarations
made in Clause 2.8 above, none of the representations and declarations
set out in this Clause 2 applies in relation to BVR, and in everything
relating to BVR, Koor and the Company declare and affirm that the
immediate and periodic reports of BVR, including the financial
statements as published, do not include, as at the date of their
publication, any Misleading Detail as that term is defined in the
Securities Law, 5728-1968.
2.25 The Company, the Subsidiaries and Zehava have rights of ownership
and/or lease and/or rental of the land described in the list attached
to this Agreement as Appendix 2.25.
2.26 The Company and the Subsidiaries associated in Israel submitted to the
tax authorities in Israel, and Elisra Inc. submitted to the tax
authorities in the U.S.A., all the reports they are required by law to
submit, promptly, and they have made all the payments arising out of
those reports. In the opinion of the management of the Company, those
payments and the provisions made in the consolidated and audited
financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 2001, meet all
the tax obligations of the Company and the Subsidiaries in respect of
the period up to 31 f December, 2001. The aforesaid notwithstanding, if
the Company and/or the Subsidiaries pay and/or a final obligation
arises (after objections, petitions or appeals) of the Company to make
tax payments in respect of the period up to 31 December, 2001, in
respect of which no provision was made in the consolidated and audited
financial statements of the Company as at 31 December, 2001, in a
cumulative amount exceeding US $4,000,000 (four million US dollars)
(hereinafter in this paragraph - "the Threshold Amount"), any such sum
in excess of the Threshold Amount shall be seen as infringement of the
representation made in this Clause 2.26 above.
2.27 Any disclosure appearing in any of the Appendices to Clause 2 shall be
seen as appearing also in the other Appendices to Clause 2, if it is
ostensibly apparent that such a disclosure is relevant also to the
contents of any of the other Appendices.

First Option Period"):
(a) 31 December, 2003;
(b) 14 days prior to the date expected to be the Closing Date of
a Public Offering as per the underwriters' notice.

5.3 Elta may exercise the Option at any time during the First Option Period
or the Second Option Period, as the case may be, by giving written and
signed notice to Koor in the wording attached to this Agreement as
Appendix 5.3 ("the Notice of Exercise"), to which will be attached a
deed of share transfer signed by Elta in the working attached to this
Agreement as Appendix 5.3(A), with a copy to the Trustee. Upon receipt
of the copy of the Notice of Exercise, the Trustee shall open a special
Trust Account, the details of which will be conveyed to Elta in writing
within two Business Days from the date of receipt of the copy of the
Notice of Exercise by the Trustee ("the Trust Account"). Not later than
10:00 on the fourteenth Business Day after giving the Notice of
Exercise, Elta shall transfer to the Trust Account, by bank transfer,
the Exercise Price. Upon receipt of the Exercise Price in the Trust
Account, the Trustee shall transfer to Elta the First Option Shares
and/or the Second Option Shares, as the case may be, and for that
purpose shall sign the deed of share transfer which was attached to the
Notice of Exercise. Immediately thereafter - the Trustee shall transfer
the Exercise Price to Koor by bank transfer, to the bank account of
Koor, the details of which will be conveyed to the Trustee by Koor,
subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement Appendix A to this
Agreement. The Company undertakes to record in its books of account the
transfer of the First Option Shares and/or the Second Option Shares in
the name of Elta upon transfer of the First Option Shares or the Second
Option Shares from the Trustee to Elta, to report the matter to the
registrar of Companies and to take any further action required in order
to fully validate the transfer of the Option Shares to the name of
Elta.
Koor hereby undertakes that from the date of transfer of the Option
Shares to the name of the Trustee and until their transfer to Elta's
name or until expiry of the Option, in whole or in part in accordance
with the aforesaid, the shares will remain free of any pledge, lien or
third party right and/or claim.
5.4 "The Exercise Price" means -
(a) If the Notice of Exercise is given by Elta during the First
Option period for the First Option Shares only - the sum of US
$9,900,000 (nine million, nine hundred thousand US dollars);
(b) If the Notice of Exercise is given by Elta during the Second
Option period for the Second Option Shares only - the sum of US
$16,500,000 (sixteen million, five hundred thousand US dollars);
(c) If the Notice of Exercise is given by Elta during the First
Option period for the First Option Shares and the Second Option
Shares - the sum of US $26,400,000 (twenty-six million, four
hundred thousand US dollars).
5.5 If during the period between the date of signing this Agreement and the
date of transfer of all the Option Shares from the Trustee to Elta, the
Company distributes bonus shares and/or splits or consolidates its
issued share capital (except for an allotment of new shares not by way
of bonus shares), the number of the Option Shares shall be adjusted
accordingly. For the removal of doubt, it is clarified that adjustment
of the number of the Option Shares shall apply only in accordance with
the provisions of this Clause 5.5.
5.6 In addition to the provisions of this Clause 5 above, if all the shares
of the Company are sold to any third party (hereinafter in this Clause
5.6 - "Third Party") during the First Option Period and/or the Second
Option Period, as the case may be, Koor undertakes to ensure that Elta
will be able to purchase all the Option Shares it has not yet exercised
(all the Option Shares or the First Option Shares or the Second Option
Shares, as the case may be) (hereinafter in this sub-clause - "the
Remaining Shares"), in consideration of the Exercise Price, and to sell
them to Third Party at the same price per share and on the same other
terms as those at which the Remaining Shares in the Company will be
sold, and all on the occasion of closing the transaction for sale of
the shares to Third Party.
It is hereby agreed that as long as Elta does not give written notice
to Koor with a copy to the Trustee, whereby it waives its right to
exercise the option in respect of the Remaining Shares by the date of
closing the sale transaction with Third Party, Elta shall be seen as
having automatically exercised the option in respect of all the
Remaining Shares, without need to give notice of exercise on the date
of closing the sale transaction with Third Party.
On the date of closing the sale transaction with Third Party, Third
Party shall transfer to the Trustee the consideration for the Remaining
Shares, and on the same date the Trustee shall transfer the exercise
price in respect of the Remaining Shares to Koor, the balance of the
consideration over and above the Exercise Price, if any, to Elta, and
the Remaining Shares to Third Party.
The parties undertake to ensure the inclusion of the above provisions
in the sale agreement with Third Party.
