RECITALS
A. The Company, Merger Sub (as defined below) and Parent intend to enter into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization of even date herewith (the “Merger Agreement"),
which provides for the merger (the “Merger") of Finland Holdings (2011) Ltd., a company organized
under the laws of Israel and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub"), with and into the
Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, pursuant to which each
issued and outstanding ordinary share, NIS 0.01 par value, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares")
shall automatically be converted into and represent the right to receive the merger consideration
as set forth in the Merger Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein;
B. Shareholder is the beneficial owner (for this and other terms of correlative
meaning used throughout this Agreement, as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act")) of such number of Shares (as defined below) as is
indicated on the signature page of this Agreement;
C. Shareholder believes that it is in his, her or its best interest, as a
shareholder in the Company, that the Merger be consummated;
D. As a condition to its willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent has
required that Shareholder undertake in advance to vote its shares in favor of the Merger; and
E. For these reasons, and in consideration of the execution of the Merger Agreement
by Parent, Shareholder, solely in his, her or its capacity as a shareholder of the Company, agrees
and undertakes to vote the Shares (as defined below) in favor of the Merger and the approval of the
Merger Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Certain Definitions. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement:
(a) “Expiration Date” shall mean the first to occur of (i) the termination of the Merger
Agreement pursuant to Article VIII thereof, (ii) the occurrence of a Company Change of
Recommendation pursuant to Section 6.6(e) of the Merger Agreement, or (iii) such date and time as
the Merger shall become effective in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Merger
Agreement.
(b) “Person” shall mean any (i) individual, (ii) corporation, limited liability company,
partnership or other entity, or (iii) governmental authority.
(c) “Shares” shall mean: (i) all equity securities of the Company (including Ordinary Shares
and all options, warrants, restricted stock and other rights to acquire Ordinary Shares) owned by
Shareholder as of the date of this Agreement; and (ii) all additional equity securities of the
Company
(including all additional Ordinary Shares and all additional options, warrants, restricted
stock and other rights to acquire Ordinary Shares) of which Shareholder acquires ownership during
the period from the date of this Agreement through the Expiration Date; provided,
however, that, when used with respect to the voting, consenting or taking action by or in
the name of Shareholder or any other Person hereunder with respect to Shares, the term “Shares”
shall only include the securities covered by clause (i) or (ii) that are entitled to be voted, or
for which Shareholder or such other Person is entitled to consent or act, with respect thereto
(which shall not include Shares that are subject to issuance upon the exercise of options, warrants
and such other rights to acquire Ordinary Shares), and nothing herein shall require (and
Shareholder undertakes no obligation and makes no representation or warranty related to) the
conversion, exercise or exchange of any security for which Shareholder has beneficial ownership
into securities entitled to be voted, or for which Shareholder or such other Person is entitled to
consent or act, with respect thereto.
(d) “Transfer". A Person shall be deemed to have effected a “Transfer” of a security if such
Person directly or indirectly: (i) sells, pledges, encumbers, grants an option with respect to,
transfers or disposes of such security or any interest in such security; or (ii) enters into an
agreement or commitment providing for the sale of, pledge of, encumbrance of, grant of an option
with respect to, transfer of or disposition of such security or any interest in such security, in
each case, other than a pledge, encumbrance or option that will not affect the obligations of
Shareholder under this Agreement.
2. Restrictions on Shares.
(a) Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, during the period from the date of this
Agreement through the Expiration Date, cause or permit any Transfer of any of the Shares to be
effected, except for any Transfer (i) to any other Person if (A) such Person, prior to or
concurrently with such Transfer, shall have executed a voting undertaking on the same terms and
conditions of this Agreement to which Parent is a beneficiary with respect to such Shares, and (B)
Shareholder shall continue to be jointly and severally liable to any breach of such voting
undertaking by such other Person; or (ii) to an Affiliate of the Shareholder, if (A) upon such
Transfer the Shareholder shall continue to be a beneficial owner of such Shares; and (B)
Shareholder shall continue to have the right to control the vote of the Shares in accordance with
this Agreement.
(b) Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, during the period from the date of this
Agreement through the Expiration Date, deposit (or permit the deposit of) any Shares in a voting
trust or grant any proxy or enter into any voting agreement or similar agreement in contravention
of the obligations of Shareholder under this Agreement with respect to any of the Shares.
2
(c) Shareholder shall not take any action that would (i) make any representation or
warranty contained in this Agreement to be untrue or incorrect; or (ii) have the effect of
impairing the ability of Shareholder to perform its obligations under this Agreement or preventing
or delaying the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
3. Agreement to Vote Shares. At every meeting of the shareholders of the Company
called, and at every postponement or adjournment thereof, and on every action or approval by
written resolution or consent of the shareholders of the Company, or in any other circumstance in
which the vote, consent or other approval of the shareholders of the Company is sought, until the
Expiration Date Shareholder (solely in its, his or her capacity as such) shall vote, or cause the
Shares to be voted: (i) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger and all the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and (ii) against any Company Acquisition
Proposal (other than the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, including the
Merger). Except as contemplated by this Agreement, Shareholder has not (a) entered into, and shall
not enter into at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, any voting agreement or voting
trust with respect to the Shares that would prohibit, undermine, limit or otherwise
adversely affect its compliance with its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, or (b)
granted, and shall not grant at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, a proxy or power
of attorney with respect to the Shares, in either case, which is inconsistent with its obligations
pursuant to this Agreement.
4. Non-Solicitation; No Effect on Fiduciary Relationship; No Other Relationship.
(a) Between the date of this Agreement and the Expiration Date, Shareholder shall not take any
action that would constitute a violation of the provisions of Sections 6.6(a) and (c) of the Merger
Agreement if taken by the Company, in each case with the limitations and exceptions of such
provisions contemplated by Section 6.6 of the Merger Agreement that are applicable to the Company
or its board of directors (including the right to participate in discussions or negotiations on
the circumstances set forth therein) being similarly applicable to Shareholder. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, neither Shareholder nor any of its representatives shall
have any liability pursuant to this Section 4(a) from and after the first to occur of (x) the
Effective Time and (y) the date on which the Company has paid the Company Termination Fee;
provided, however, that this sentence shall not limit the liability of Shareholder
for any willful breach of this Section 4(a) by Shareholder. For purposes of this Section 4(a),
“willful breach” shall mean an act or failure to act of such person with the actual knowledge that
the taking of such act or the failure to take such act would constitute a material breach of this
Section 4(a).
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or limit the ability of any Person who is an
officeholder or director of the Company (including, as applicable, any officeholder or director of
the Company who is an Affiliate of Shareholder) to take any action solely in his or her capacity as
an officeholder or director of the Company to the extent expressly permitted by the Merger
Agreement and none of such actions in such capacity shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this
Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Parent or any other
Person any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Shares.
All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Shares shall remain vested in
and belong to Shareholder, and neither Parent nor any other Person shall have any authority to
exercise any power or authority to direct Shareholder in the voting of any of the Shares, except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, or in the performance of Shareholder’s duties or
responsibilities as a shareholder of the Company.
3
5. Representations and Warranties of Shareholder. Shareholder hereby
represents, warrants and covenants to Parent as follows: (i) Shareholder is the beneficial owner
of the Shares indicated on the signature page of this Agreement, which are free and clear of any
liens, adverse claims, charges or other encumbrances (except as such encumbrances arising under
securities laws or for such liens, adverse claims, charges or other encumbrances as would not
prohibit Shareholder’s compliance with its obligations pursuant to this Agreement). To
Shareholder’s knowledge, Shareholder does not beneficially own any securities of the Company other
than the Shares indicated on the signature page of this Agreement. Shareholder has full power and
authority to make, enter into and carry out the terms and conditions under this Agreement. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder do not, and Shareholder’s performance of
its obligations under this Agreement will not: (a) conflict with or violate any order, decree or
judgment applicable to Shareholder or to the Shares; or (b) result in any breach of or constitute a
default (with notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any encumbrance on, any of
the Shares pursuant to any agreement to which Shareholder is a party or by which Shareholder is
bound or affected, except in each case as would not prohibit Shareholder’s compliance with its
obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
6. Additional Documents. Shareholder (in his, her or its capacity as such) and
Parent hereby covenant and agree to execute and deliver any additional documents reasonably
necessary to carry out the purpose and the intent of this Agreement. Without limiting the
generality or effect of the foregoing or any other obligation of Shareholder hereunder, Shareholder
hereby authorizes Parent to deliver a copy of this Agreement to the Company and hereby agrees that
the Company may rely upon such delivery as conclusively evidencing the agreements and
understandings set forth herein.
7. Legending of Shares. If so requested by Parent, Shareholder agrees that the
Shares shall bear a legend stating that they are subject to this Agreement. Upon request of the
Shareholder at any time following the termination of this Agreement, Parent shall take all actions
required to promptly cause any such legend to be removed from any certificate for the Shares.
8. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and shall have no further force or
effect as of the Expiration Date; provided, however, that the last sentence of
Section 7 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
9. Miscellaneous.
(a) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto
under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (i) such provision will
be fully severable, (ii) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such provision had
never comprised a part hereof, (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full
force and effect and will not be affected by such provision or its severance therefrom and (iv) in
lieu of such provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal,
valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such provision as may be possible.
4
(b) Binding Effect and Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns, but neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of
the parties hereto may be assigned by either of the parties without prior written consent of the
other.
(c) Amendments and Modification. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or
supplemented except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by the parties
hereto.
(d) Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto agree that irreparable
damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in
accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the
parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this
Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court having
jurisdiction relating to this Agreement as provided in clause (g) hereof without the necessity of
demonstrating damages or posting a bond, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they
are entitled at law or in equity.
(e) Notices. Any notice required to be given hereunder shall be sufficient if in writing,
and sent by facsimile transmission, by reliable overnight delivery service (with proof of service)
or hand delivery (provided that any notice received on any non-Business Day or any Business
Day after 5:00 p.m. (addressee’s local time) shall be deemed to have been received at 9:00 a.m.
