and subject to the contingencies specified herein and therein.

event, then the Exchange Ratio shall be correspondingly adjusted to reflect such stock dividend,

Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole share) that the holder of such Company Share Option would

exercised such Company Share Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, at an exercise price

Company Share Options notices setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to the relevant Company

Section 2.10 after giving effect to the Merger). Parent shall assume and comply with the
terms of the Company Plans and the conversion of each Company Share Option into an option to
purchase Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall comply with the
requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D), provided that the
conversion of each Company Share Option that is intended to be an incentive stock option under
Section 422 of the Code into an option to purchase Parent Common Stock shall comply with the

issuable upon exercise of the Company Share Options under this Section 2.10, file a
registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) with respect to the shares of Parent
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Company Share Options to the extent registrable on Form
S-8 (or any successor form) and shall maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for
so long as such Company Share Options remain outstanding.
(d) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, to the extent necessary, cause to be
effected, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Parent, amendments to the Company Plans and any
other documents governing the Company Share Options to give effect to the foregoing provisions of

trust company, or a Subsidiary thereof, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to act as exchange
agent hereunder for the purpose of exchanging Certificates for the Merger Consideration (the
“Exchange Agent”). At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the
Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of holders of Company Shares, the shares of Parent Common
Stock representing the Closing Date Merger Consideration. Any Parent Common Stock deposited with
the Exchange Agent is referred to herein as the “Exchange Fund.”
Section 2.12 Exchange of Shares.
(a) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent will mail to each
holder of record of one or more certificates representing Company Shares immediately prior to the
Effective Time (each, a “Certificate”) a letter of transmittal in customary form
satisfactory to Parent (which will specify, among other things, that delivery will be effected, and
risk of loss and title to the Certificates will pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the
Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates. Upon
proper surrender of a Certificate for exchange and cancellation or an affidavit of the fact that
such Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed pursuant to Section 2.12(g), to the
Exchange Agent, together with such properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the
holder of such Certificate will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, (i) promptly
thereafter a stock certificate representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (a
“Parent Certificate”) equal to the product of (A) the number of Company Shares represented
by the surrendered Certificate and (B) the Closing Date Per Share Merger Consideration (rounded
down to the nearest whole share), (ii) a check representing the amount of any dividends or
distributions then payable pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(i), and (iii) at the time set forth
in the Escrow Agreement, a Parent Certificate equal to the product of (A) the number of Company
Shares represented by the surrendered Certificate and (B) the Indemnity Escrow Fund Per Share
Merger Consideration, if any (rounded down to the nearest whole share), and upon such
16
surrender the
Certificates so surrendered will forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on
any unpaid dividends and distributions payable to holders of Certificates.
(b) No dividends or other distributions declared with respect to Parent Common Stock will be
paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until the holder thereof surrenders such
Certificate in accordance with this Article II. After the surrender of a Certificate in
accordance with this Article II, the record holder thereof will be entitled to receive (i)
within 10 Business Days thereafter the amount of any dividends or other distributions with a record
date after the Effective Time theretofore paid, without any interest thereon, with respect to the
whole shares of Parent Common Stock represented by such Certificate, and (ii) at the appropriate
payment date, the amount of any dividends or other distributions with a record date after the
Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender, with respect to
whole shares of Parent Common Stock represented by such Certificate.
(c) If any Parent Certificate is to be issued in a name other than that in which the
Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition to the issuance
thereof that the Certificate so surrendered is properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate
instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the Person requesting
such exchange pays to the Exchange Agent, in advance, any transfer or other Taxes required by
reason of the issuance of a Parent Certificate in any name other than that of the registered holder
of the Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason, or establishes to the
satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.
(d) After the Effective Time, there will be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the
Company or the Surviving Company of Company Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates representing such Company
Shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they will be cancelled and exchanged for
Parent Certificates as provided in this Article II, promptly after receipt of a properly
completed letter of transmittal.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no certificates or
scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock will be issued upon the surrender of
Certificates for exchange. Each Shareholder shall only be entitled to such number of shares of
Parent Common Stock rounded down to the nearest whole number as set forth herein, and no
Shareholder shall be entitled to any fractional shares, or any consideration in lieu thereof, and
no dividend or distribution with respect to Parent Common Stock will be payable on or with respect
to any fractional share.
(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the former Shareholders as of
the six month anniversary of the Effective Time will be paid by the Exchange Agent to Parent. Any
former Shareholders who have not theretofore complied with this Article II will thereafter
look only to Parent for payment of the shares of Parent Common Stock and any unpaid dividends and
distributions on Parent Common Stock deliverable in respect of each Company Share that such
Shareholder holds immediately prior to the Effective Time, in each case, as determined pursuant to
this Agreement, and without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent,
the Company, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent or any other Person will be
liable to any former holder of
17
Company Shares for any amount delivered in good faith to a public
official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.
(g) In the event any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an
affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and
delivery of a properly completed letter of transmittal and, if reasonably required by Parent or the
Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent
may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it
with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen
or destroyed Certificate the shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to the terms hereof.
(h) The Exchange Agent will invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by
Parent. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments will be for the benefit of
and paid to Parent.
Section 2.13 Escrow Deposits. At the Closing, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with
the Escrow Agent for deposit into the Indemnity Escrow Fund, the Indemnity Escrow Shares. The
Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be held and distributed as provided in the Escrow Agreement and this
Agreement.
Section 2.14 Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent and the
Escrow Agent shall be entitled, with respect to payments made by each such entity, to deduct and
withhold from the Merger Consideration and any other amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this
Agreement such amounts as it reasonably determines it is required to deduct and withhold with
respect to the making of such payment under the Israeli Withholding Tax Ruling, if obtained, the
Code, the Israeli Tax Ordinance or under any other applicable Law, provided that no withholding or
a reduced rate of withholding, as applicable, under Israeli Tax Law will be made from any
consideration payable hereunder to a holder of Company Shares to the extent that such Shareholder
has provided Parent, the Exchange Agent or the Escrow Agent with an appropriate unequivocal
exemption by the Israeli Tax Authority confirming that no withholding of Israeli Tax is required
with respect to the particular Shareholder in question, prior to the time such payment is made. To
the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent or the
Escrow Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this
Agreement as having been paid to the Shareholders, in respect to which such deduction and
withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent or the Escrow Agent, as
the case may be. Any amounts deducted and withheld pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be
remitted to the appropriate Tax authority in accordance with applicable Law.
Section 2.15 Shareholder Representative.
(a) The Shareholders shall at all times maintain a representative (the “Shareholder
Representative”) for purposes of taking certain actions and giving certain consents on behalf
of the Shareholders, as specified herein. Pursuant to the Company Shareholder Agreement, the Major
Shareholders appointed Xxxxxx, XxXxxxxx Representative, LLC, as the initial Shareholder
Representative, and immediately upon the approval of this Agreement by the
18
requisite vote or
written consent of the Shareholders, each other Shareholder shall be deemed to have consented to
such appointment (or any applicable successor) and the terms hereof. Another person shall be
appointed as the Shareholder Representative if the person so designated (or any
successor thereof) is unwilling or unable to so act. Actions taken, consents given and
representations made by the Shareholder Representative pursuant hereto shall be final, binding and
conclusive upon the Shareholders, including all actions under Article VII and under the
Escrow Agreement and the Company Shareholder Agreement. This appointment and grant of power and
authority by each Shareholder is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and shall not be
terminated by any act of any Shareholder or by operation of Law, whether by the death or incapacity
of any individual Shareholder, or by the occurrence of any other event. The Shareholder
Representative is entitled to authorize delivery to the Parent Indemnified Parties of the funds or
other property from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims by the Parent Indemnified
Parties, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders
of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, and to take all actions on behalf
of all of the Shareholders deemed necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholder
Representative to accomplish the foregoing or to facilitate or administer the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Company Shareholder Agreement,
including, without limitation, executing such other documents or instruments as the Shareholder
Representative deems necessary or appropriate, provided however, that no such action may incur
additional liabilities on the Shareholders, other than as set forth in this Agreement. The Escrow
Agent and Parent may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder
Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every Shareholder.
The Shareholder Representative may resign at any time, and may be removed for any reason or no
reason by the vote or written consent of Shareholders holding a majority of the aggregate Company
Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No
bond shall be required of the Shareholder Representative.
(b) The Shareholder Representative shall not be liable to the Shareholders for actions taken
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company Shareholder Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, except to
the extent such actions shall have been determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a
court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted willful misconduct or Fraud. Except in cases
where a court of competent jurisdiction has made such a finding in a final and non-appealable
judgment, the Shareholders shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless, first from the
Indemnity Escrow Fund (if any, after payment of all claims to which the Parent Indemnified Parties
are entitled to payment pursuant to Article VII) and thereafter directly, the Shareholder
Representative from and against any and all Damages (including reasonable legal and expert fees and
expenses incurred by the Shareholder Representative in investigating or defending (including any
appeal) any claim for indemnification made against the Shareholders or Major Shareholders), arising
out of and in connection with his or her activities as Shareholder Representative under this
Agreement, the Company Shareholder Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or otherwise.
(c) The approval of this Agreement by the requisite vote or written consent of the
Shareholders shall also be deemed to constitute approval of all arrangements relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby and to the provisions hereof binding upon the Shareholders,
including, without limitation, those set forth in Article VII. All actions taken, consents
given and
19
representations made by the Shareholder Representative pursuant hereto shall be binding
upon the Shareholders after the Closing, including all actions under Article VII and under
the Escrow Agreement.

Patents and registered Copyrights, including any pending applications to register any of the

3.11 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule lists the record owner of each such item of Intellectual
Property, and the jurisdiction in which each such item of Intellectual Property has been issued or
registered or in which each such application for the issuance or registration of such item of
Intellectual Property has been filed. The Parent Intellectual Property includes all Intellectual
Property necessary and sufficient to enable Parent to conduct its business as it is currently and
proposed to be conducted. To the Knowledge of Parent, the Parent Intellectual Property Rights are
valid and enforceable.

Parent, no such proceeding is or has been threatened with respect to any of such Patents.
(c) Parent is the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to, free
and clear of any and all liens, licenses (royalty bearing or royalty-free), obligations or other
Encumbrances to others requiring payment to any Person or any obligation to grant any right to any
Person, of all Intellectual Property identified on Schedule 3.11 of the Parent Disclosure
Schedule and all other Intellectual Property used in Parent’s business, other than Intellectual
Property that is licensed to Parent by a third party licensor pursuant to a written license
agreement that remains in effect. Parent has valid licenses to all material software and
technology and other material Intellectual Property that is licensed to Parent by a third party
licensor and used by Parent in the ordinary course of business, free and clear of all Encumbrances,
except to the extent such a failure is the result of a defect in the license of the third party
owner. Parent has not received any notice or claim challenging Parent’s ownership of any of the
Intellectual Property owned (in whole or in part) by Parent, nor to the Knowledge of Parent is
there a reasonable basis for any claim that Parent does not so own any of such Intellectual
Property.
(d) Parent has taken all reasonable steps in accordance with standard industry practices to
protect its rights in its Intellectual Property and at all times has taken adequate security
measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all information that constitutes or
constituted a Trade Secret of Parent and any other confidential information. To the Knowledge of
Parent, during the most recent two years, there have been no material unauthorized disclosures of
Parent’s trade secrets and non-public proprietary information to a third party. All current and
former employees and consultants of Parent have executed and delivered proprietary information,
trade secret and confidentiality and assignment agreements substantially in Parent’s standard
forms. In addition, all current and former employees and consultants involved in research or
development for Parent or who otherwise develop or conceive of any Intellectual Property for or on
behalf of Parent have executed and delivered enforceable Contracts that assign to Parent all such
employee’s or consultant’s rights, title and interests in any Intellectual Property conceived,
developed, authorized or reduced to practice by such employee or consultant relating to the
business of Parent. To the Knowledge of Parent, no current employee or consultant of Parent is in
default or breach of any material term of any such Contract with Parent.

Schedule 3.11 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule (“Parent Registered IP”) are valid
and subsisting and, to the Knowledge of Parent, enforceable, and Parent has not received any notice
or claim or cease-and-desist letters or invitations to license patent letters or written threats
from any third party challenging the validity or enforceability of any Parent Registered IP or
alleging any misuse of such Parent Registered IP. Parent has not taken any action or failed to
take any action that could reasonably be expected to result in the abandonment, cancellation,
forfeiture, relinquishment, invalidation or unenforceability of any Parent Registered IP (including
the failure to pay any filing, examination, issuance, post registration and maintenance fees,
annuities and the like and the failure to disclose any known material prior art in connection with
the prosecution of patent applications). All necessary registration, maintenance, renewal and
other relevant filing fees in connection with Parent Registered IP have been paid and all necessary
27
documents, certificates and other relevant filings in connection with Parent Registered IP
have been timely filed with the relevant patent, trademark, copyright or other relevant authorities
in the United States or other jurisdictions, for the purpose of maintaining Parent Registered IP
in the relevant jurisdiction.
(f) To Parent’s Knowledge, the development, manufacture, sale, distribution or other
commercial exploitation of products, and the provision of any services, by or on behalf of Parent
or either of the Parent Subs, and all of the other activities or operations of Parent or either of
the Parent Subs, have not interfered with, infringed upon, misappropriated, violated, diluted or
constituted the unauthorized use of, any Intellectual Property of any third party. Except as set
forth on Schedule 3.11(f) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, neither Parent nor either of
the Parent Subs has received any notice or claim or cease-and-desist letters or invitations to
license patent letters or written threats from any third party asserting or suggesting that any
such infringement, misappropriation, violation, dilution or unauthorized use is or may be occurring
or has or may have occurred, nor to the Knowledge of Parent, is there a reasonable basis therefor.
No Intellectual Property owned by or licensed to Parent or either of the Parent Subs is subject to
any outstanding Order or Contract restricting the use or licensing thereof by Parent or either of
the Parent Subs. To the Knowledge of Parent, no third party is misappropriating, infringing,
diluting or violating any Intellectual Property owned by or exclusively licensed to Parent in a
material manner.
(g) Neither Parent nor either of the Parent Subs has transferred ownership of, or granted any
exclusive license with respect to, any material Intellectual Property. No loss or expiration of
any of the material Intellectual Property used by Parent in the conduct of its business is
threatened, pending or reasonably foreseeable.
(h) To the Knowledge of Parent, Parent’s business does not constitute unfair competition or
trade practices and Parent has not engaged and does not engage in any false or misleading
advertising or practices under the Laws of any jurisdiction in which Parent operates or markets
any of its products or services.
(i) Parent and each of the Parent Subs maintains policies and procedures regarding data
security and privacy that are in compliance with all applicable Laws. To the Knowledge of Parent,
there have been no security breaches relating to violations or any security policy or any
unauthorized access of any data or information of Parent’s software or technology systems in the
last two years. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent, the use and
dissemination by Parent of any and all data or information concerning individuals is in compliance
with all such privacy policies and applicable Laws, including HIPAA, and with respect to Parent and
Merger Sub, the transactions contemplated to be consummated hereunder as of the Closing will not

Statements”), are attached hereto as Schedule 4.6(a) of the Company Disclosure
Schedule, or with respect to any financial statements to be delivered pursuant to
Section 5.20, will be delivered to Parent pursuant thereto. Each of the Company Financial

and for liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice after
such date, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any liability (including,
without limitation, any liability derived or assumed from any predecessor to the Company’s business
or assets), whether or not required by GAAP to be reflected in a consolidated balance sheet of the
Company and its Subsidiaries or disclosed in the notes thereto, except those liabilities and
obligations that are not, individually or in the aggregate, material to the Company or any of its

management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements that are in conformity with GAAP and to maintain
accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s
general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to the
differences. The Company has not been advised by any independent certified public accountant of
the Company that there is a significant
43
deficiency or material weakness in the design or operation of the internal controls of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent acknowledges that the
Company’s independent certified public accountants are not required to review the design or
operation of the internal controls of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

individually or in the aggregate, has had or would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Change on the Company; (c) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has suffered any
material loss, damage, destruction or other casualty affecting any of its material properties or

(a) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is and has been in compliance in all material
respects with all Laws applicable to it. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has

other communication from any Governmental Authority or any other Person that the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is not and has not been in compliance in any material respect with any Law
applicable to it.
(b) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is in possession of all licenses, franchises,
permits, certificates, approvals, variances, registrations, accreditations, permissions and billing

(the “Company Permits”). Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is and has been in
compliance in all respects with all such Company Permits, except where the failure to so comply has
not and would not reasonably be expected to have a material detriment on the Company and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in excess of $250,000. No suspension, cancellation, modification,
revocation or nonrenewal of any Company Permit is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company,
threatened. The Company and its Subsidiaries will continue to have the use and benefit of all

of any employee, officer, director, shareholder, agent or otherwise on behalf of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries.

Company Disclosure Schedule, there is no material Action pending or, to the Knowledge of the
Company, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any material property or
asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor to its Knowledge is there any event,
circumstance or fact existing or that has occurred that would reasonably be expected to result in
any such material Action. There is no Action pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company,

Governmental Authority relating to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any of their
respective properties or assets or the Transactions. There is no Action by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries pending, or which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has commenced
preparations to initiate, against any other Person.
Section 4.10 Benefit Plans.
(a) Schedule 4.10(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and complete

the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which their assets are bound, with respect
to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has or would reasonably be expected to have any
liability or obligation or which are provided, maintained, contributed to or sponsored by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is
contractually required to provide) for the benefit of any current or former employee, consultant,
officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in Israel, the United States or
elsewhere; and
(ii) any Contracts between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any current or
prospective employee, consultant, officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in
Israel, the United States or elsewhere, including any Contracts relating in any way to a sale of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(b) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.10(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, each
Company Plan is in writing. The Company has made available to Parent a true and complete copy of
each material Company Plan, including all amendments thereto; provided, however, that in the case
of Company Plans that are Contracts between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any current
or prospective employee, consultant, officer or director of the Company, the Company has made
available to Parent the standard form contract, and has made available to Parent a true and
complete copy of each material document, if any, prepared in connection with each material Company
Plan, including, if applicable, (i) a copy of each trust or other funding arrangement, (ii) the two
most recently filed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form 5500, (iii) the most recently
received IRS determination letter (or opinion letter) for each such Company Plan, (iv) the most
recently prepared actuarial report and financial statement in connection with each such Company
Plan, (v) the form of each representative share option agreement evidencing any outstanding Company
Share Options, (vi) all correspondence since January 1, 2005 to or from any Governmental Authority
relating to any Company Plan that alleges a violation of any Laws in any material respect or

Company or its Subsidiaries that enable
45
them to employ foreign employees or employees from “territories” currently administered by
Israel. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any express or implied commitment
(A) to create, incur liability with respect to or cause to exist any other employee benefit plan,
program or arrangement, (B) to enter into any Contract to provide compensation or benefits to any
individual, or (C) to modify, change or terminate any Company Plan, other than with respect to a
modification, change or termination required by the Israeli Tax Ordinance, ERISA, the Code, or
other applicable law to the extent applicable in each such case. Except for Contracts set forth on
Schedule 4.18(a)(viii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, there are no Company Plans that
are Contracts between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any current or prospective
employee, consultant, officer or director of the Company that differ in any material respect from
the standard form contract made available to Parent.
(c) Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has sponsored, maintained, contributed to,
been required to contribute to or incurred any liability (contingent or otherwise) with respect to:
(i) a multiemployer plan within the meaning of Section 3(37) or 4001(a)(3) of ERISA (a
“Multiemployer Plan”), or (ii) a single employer pension plan within the meaning of
Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA for which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries could incur liability
under Section 4063 or 4064 of ERISA (a “Multiple Employer Plan”). No liability under Title
IV of ERISA has been incurred by the Company, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate that has not
been satisfied in full, and no condition exists that presents a material risk to the Company, any
Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring a liability under Title IV of ERISA. No Company
Plan is a pension plan (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) that is subject to Title IV of
ERISA. None of the Company Plans provides for or promises on behalf of the Company retiree
medical, disability or life insurance benefits to any current or former employee, officer or
director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except for (i) coverage mandated by applicable
Law or (ii) death benefits or retirement benefits under any “employee pension benefit plan” (within
the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA).
(d) Each Company Plan is now and always has been operated in all material respects in
accordance with its terms and the requirements of all applicable Laws, including the Israeli Tax
Ordinance, ERISA and the Code. No Action is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company,
threatened with respect to any Company Plan, other than claims for benefits in the ordinary course,
that would reasonably be expected to result in any material liability to the Company.
(e) Each Company Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has
received a favorable determination letter (or opinion letter) from the IRS covering all of the
provisions applicable to the Company Plan for which determination letters are currently available
that the Company Plan is so qualified. No fact or event has occurred since the date of such
determination letter or letters from the IRS that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect
the qualified status of any such Company Plan.
(f) There has not been any prohibited transaction, within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code (for which an exemption is not available), with respect to any Company
Plan.
46
(g) All material contributions, premiums or payments required to be made with respect to any
Company Plan have been timely made.
(h) With respect to Company Plans that are subject to or governed by the Laws of any
jurisdiction other than the United States (the “Non-US Plans”), except as have not and
would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in any materially
liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (i) all amounts required to be reserved under
each book reserved Non-US Plan have been so reserved in accordance with GAAP and (ii) each Non-US
Plan required to be registered with a Governmental Authority as set forth on Schedule
4.10(h) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, has been so registered, has been maintained in good
standing with the appropriate Governmental Authorities, has been maintained and operated in all
respects in accordance with its terms and is in compliance with all applicable Law.
(i) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.10(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, no
Company Plan exists that, as a result of the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether alone or in connection with any concurrent or
subsequent event(s)), would reasonably be expected to (i) entitle any current or former employee,
officer or director or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to severance pay or any
increase in severance pay upon any termination of employment or engagement after the execution of
this Agreement or otherwise alter the termination provisions of any employment contract, (ii)
accelerate or alter the time of payment, vesting or exercise or result in any grant, payment or
funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits or awards under,
increase the amount payable or result in any other material obligation pursuant to, any of the
Company Plans, (iii) limit or restrict the right of Parent or the Surviving Company to merge, amend
or terminate any of the Company Plans or (iv) result in payments or benefits under any of the
Company Plans or otherwise that would not be deductible under Section 280G of the Code.
(j) To the Knowledge of the Company, each Company Plan that is a nonqualified deferred
compensation plan (as defined under Section 409A of the Code) has, since January 1, 2005, been
operated in good faith compliance with Sections 409A(a)(2), (3), and (4) of the Code.
(k) The Company and its ERISA Affiliates do not maintain any Company Plan which is a “group
health plan,” as such term is defined in Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code, that has not been
administered and operated in all material respects in compliance with the applicable requirements
of Section 601 of ERISA, Section 4980B(b) of the Code and the applicable provisions of the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1986.
Section 4.11 U.S. and European Labor and Employment Matters.
(a) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or otherwise bound by any
labor or collective bargaining Contract that pertains to employees of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries. To the Knowledge of the Company, there are no organizing activities or collective
bargaining arrangements that could materially affect the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pending
or under discussion with any labor organization or group of employees of
47
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. There is, and during the past three (3) years there
has been, no labor dispute, strike, controversy, slowdown, work stoppage or lockout pending or, to
the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries. There are no pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened union
grievances or union representation questions involving employees of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.
(b) To the Knowledge of the Company, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
engaged or is engaging in any unfair labor practice that has not had or would reasonably be
expected to result in any material liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Except as
set forth on Schedule 4.11(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, no unfair labor practice
or labor charge or complaint, health and safety claim, or wage and hour claim is pending or, to the
Knowledge of the Company, threatened with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries before
the National Labor Relations Board, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration, the U.S. Department of Labor or any other Governmental Authority.
(c) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to, or otherwise bound by, any
consent decree with, or citation by, any Governmental Authority relating to employees or employment
practices. To the Knowledge of the Company, no current officer of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries intends, or is expected, to terminate his employment relationship with such entity
following the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(d) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.11(d)(1) of the Company Disclosure Schedule,
each non-Israeli employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is hired “at will,” meaning
that the Company or its Subsidiary or such employee can terminate such employment, with or without
cause, at any time, without liability, except for any statutory severance obligations under
applicable Law. Schedule 4.11(d)(1) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth the
notice period (if any) applicable to any such person. All Persons who have performed services for
the Company or its Subsidiaries in the United States or Europe have been classified as independent
contractors, and all Persons who have performed services for the Company or its Subsidiaries in the
United States and have been classified as exempt employees not entitled to overtime pay, have been
at all times properly classified as such in accordance with all applicable Laws, except as has not
and would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material
detriment on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in excess of $250,000. Except as
set forth on Schedule 4.11(d)(2) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, there is no pending
or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened claim by a current or former non-Israeli employee
or non-Israeli independent contractor for compensation or any other entitlement in connection with
his/her employment or engagement and/or the termination of such employment or engagement.
(e) The pension plan operated by a third party pension provider in respect of employees based
in the United Kingdom (the “UK Pension Plan”) is a personal pension arrangement
administered by a third party provider which provides only money purchase benefits whereby the
Company’s only liability is to administer employee’s contributions and pay employer contributions
at an agreed level which has been disclosed to Parent. No assurance,
48
promise or guarantee has been made or given to any person of a particular level or amount of
benefit to be provided for or in respect of him or her under the UK Pension Plan on death,
retirement or leaving service.
(f) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.11(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, none
of the Company’s or of its Subsidiaries’ employees who are based in European Member States have
become an employee by virtue of the operation of the Acquired Rights Directive (or any similar or
implementing legislation in any European Member State).

Subsidiaries has received any notice or claim challenging the ownership by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries of any of the Intellectual Property owned (in whole or in part) by the Company or

that could reasonably be expected to result in the abandonment, cancellation, forfeiture,
relinquishment, invalidation or unenforceability of any of the Company Registered IP (including
53

reasonable basis therefor. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.15(f)(2) of the Company

Section 5.4 Company Shareholders Approval. The Company will take, in
accordance with applicable Law and the Company Charter Documents, all action necessary to convene a
general meeting of the Shareholders and separate meetings of the holders of each class or series of
Company Shares (each, a “Company Shareholders’ Meeting”) as promptly as practicable, but in
no event later than 40 days after the date the Form S-4 is declared effective by the SEC, to
consider and vote for the approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions.
73
The Board of Directors of the Company shall recommend such approval (the
“Recommendation”) subject to the notice requirements of the Companies Law and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder and the Company Charter Documents. The Company shall call,
notice, convene, hold and conduct the Company Shareholders’ Meetings in compliance with applicable
Laws including the Companies Law and the Company Charter Documents. Subject to the provisions of
Section 320(c) of the Companies Law, the approval of the Merger requires the Company Shareholder
Approval. The quorum required for the general meeting of the Shareholders is (i) one Shareholder,
and (ii) one or more Shareholders holding together at least 50% of the then issued and outstanding
share capital of the Company (determined on as converted basis), and (ii) shareholder(s) holding at

(either in person or by proxy) is insufficient to constitute the required quorum necessary to
conduct the business of such Company Shareholders’ Meeting, the Company may adjourn or postpone
such Company Shareholders’ Meeting; provided, that in each case, the adjourned or postponed meeting
is held no more than seven days after the originally scheduled meeting. The Company shall include
the Recommendation in any materials sent to the Shareholders in connection with the Company
Shareholders’ Meetings. Not later than three days after the date of such approval, the Company, in
coordination with Parent, shall (in accordance with Section 317(b) of the Companies Law and the

reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval from, or to avoid an Action by, any
Governmental Authority or other Persons necessary in connection with the consummation of the Merger
and the other Transactions (including notifying the OCS and the MAGNET of the Merger and the other
Transactions), (ii) defending any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or
administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger and the other
Transactions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including seeking to have any stay or
temporary restraining order entered by any Governmental Authority vacated or reversed, (iii) the
execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Merger and the
other Transactions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and to fully carry out the

party or to which it is subject and the Company shall obtain consents for all Contracts to which it
or any Subsidiary of the Company is a party or to which the Company or any such Subsidiary is

Company and Parent shall keep the other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to

respect to the Merger or the other Transactions. Neither the Company nor Parent shall permit any
of its officers or any other representatives to participate in any meeting with any Governmental
Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry relating to the Merger or the
other Transactions unless it consults with the other party in advance and shall, to the extent
permitted by such Governmental Authority, give the other party the opportunity to attend and
participate thereat.
(d) Without limiting the foregoing, Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause their
respective Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, employees and independent auditors

of the Financing Agreement to bring any Action against any purchaser listed on Schedule I to such
agreement, the Company may, notwithstanding anything contained in Section 5.6(a) give or
withhold such consent, in its sole discretion.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, in no event shall Parent or the Company be
required to take or agree to undertake any action, including entering into any consent decree, hold
separate order or other arrangement, that would require the divestiture, license or other transfer
of any assets of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Company or any of their respective
Affiliates. In addition, in no event shall Parent be required to take or agree to undertake any
action, including entering into any consent decree, hold separate order or other arrangement, that
would limit Parent’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to consolidate and control,
the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries or any of their assets or businesses or any of Parent’s
or its Affiliates’ other assets or businesses.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall
cause its Israeli counsel or Israeli consultants to prepare and file with the Israeli Tax Authority

Tax Authority of one or more rulings that:
(i) (A) Provides for a full exemption to Parent, the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Company and
its or their agents from withholding requirements as a result of a deferral of Israeli income tax

not fully exempt from withholding as a result of (A) above, that either: (x) exempts Parent, the
Exchange Agent, the Surviving Company and its or their agents from any obligation to withhold
Israeli Tax at source from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this
Agreement, or clarifies that no such obligation exists; or (y) clearly instructs Parent, the
Exchange Agent, the Surviving Company and their agents how and when such withholding at source is
to be performed, and in particular, with respect to the classes or categories of former holders of
Company Shares from which Tax is to be withheld (if any), and the rate or rates of withholding to
be applied (collectively, the “Israeli Withholding Tax Ruling”), provided that no
withholding or a reduced rate of withholding, as applicable, under Israeli Tax Law will be made
from any consideration payable hereunder to a Shareholder to the extent that such Shareholder has

of Israeli Tax is required with respect to the particular Shareholder in question.
(ii) Are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Company, confirming

Section 2.10 will not result in a requirement for an immediate Israeli tax payment and that

Options that are assumed by Parent will continue uninterrupted from the original date of grant of

Rulings”).
(b) Parent shall, and shall instruct its representatives and advisors to, reasonably cooperate
with the Company and its Israeli counsel, consultants, representatives and other advisors with
respect to the preparation and filing of such applications and in the preparation of any written or
oral submissions that may be necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Israeli Tax Rulings.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all
things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to obtain the Israeli Tax Rulings, as
promptly as practicable; provided that the Company shall not be required to make any material
payment (excluding to the ITA) or to post any material security or bond in connection with
obtaining such rulings. The Company, its representatives and advisors shall not make any
application to, or conduct any negotiation with, the Israeli Tax Authorities with respect to any
matter relating to the subject matter of the Israeli Tax Rulings without prior consultation with
Parent, and will enable Parent’s representatives and advisors to participate in all discussions and
meetings relating thereto. Parent shall reasonably cooperate with the Company and its Israeli
counsel, consultants, representatives and other advisors in the course of such participation and to
the extent reasonably necessary to enable the Company to obtain the Israeli Tax Rulings. To the

relating to the subject matter of the Israeli Securities Exemption without prior consultation with
the Company, and to the extent possible will enable Company’s
77

To the extent that the Company’s representatives and advisors elect not to participate in any
meeting or discussion, Parent’s representatives and advisors shall provide to the Company a prompt

circumstances be reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Parent.

appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the
SEC and disseminated to the Parent Stockholders and to the Shareholders.
(b) Parent shall duly take all lawful action to call, give notice of, convene and hold the
Parent Stockholders’ Meeting as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 40 days after

Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective officers or directors, is
discovered by Parent or the Company, as applicable, and such information should be set forth in an
amendment or supplement to the Financing Disclosure Package so that the Financing Disclosure
Package would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,

to the extent reasonably deemed necessary or advisable by the Company or Parent, an appropriate
amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly disseminated to the

of them authorize or permit any of their Subsidiaries or any of their or their Subsidiaries’

Representatives pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement not less restrictive of the other
party than the Confidentiality Agreement, and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with

circumstances referred to in Section 5.11(a)); or
(iii) adopt, approve or recommend, or propose to adopt, approve or recommend, any Acquisition
Proposal.

good faith after consultation with outside counsel that its fiduciary obligations require it to do
so, but only at a time that is prior to the Parent Stockholder Approval and after two Business Days
following receipt by the Company of written notice advising it that the Board of Directors of
Parent desires to withdraw or modify the recommendation and, if such withdrawal is due to the
existence of an Acquisition Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such
Acquisition Proposal and identifying the Person making such Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.11 shall be deemed to (A) permit Parent to take
any action described in clauses (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence of this Section
5.11(b), (B) affect any obligation of Parent under this Agreement, other than as set forth in

prevent Parent or its Board of Directors from taking or disclosing to the Parent Stockholders a
position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act (or any similar
communication to stockholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender officer or
exchange offer) or from making any other disclosure to stockholders required by Law with regard to
an Acquisition Proposal, including by virtue of the Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 5.11(a), each party shall immediately advise the other
party orally, with written confirmation to follow promptly (and in any event within 24 hours), of

lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition
Proposal or inquiry and the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry.
Parent shall not provide any information to or participate in discussions or negotiations with the
Person making any Superior Proposal until after it has first notified the Company of such
Acquisition Proposal as required by the preceding sentence. The Company shall not provide any
information to or participate in discussions or negotiations with any such Person under any
circumstances. Each party shall (i) keep the other party fully informed, on a current basis, of
the status and details (including any change to the terms) of any such Acquisition Proposal or
inquiry, (ii) provide to the other party as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof
copies of all correspondence and other written material sent or provided to such party from any
third party in connection with any Acquisition Proposal or sent or provided by Parent to any third
party in connection with any Superior Proposal, and (iii) if the Company shall make a
counterproposal to amend the terms of this Agreement, which the Board of Directors of Parent, or
any committee thereof, in good faith determines would cause the Superior Proposal to cease to be
such, Parent shall consider and cause its financial and legal advisors to negotiate on its behalf
in good faith with respect to the terms of such counterproposal. Contemporaneously with providing
any information to a third party in connection with any such Superior Proposal or inquiry, Parent
shall furnish a copy of such information to the Company.
(d) Each of Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their
Representatives and Affiliates to, cease immediately all discussions and negotiations regarding any
proposal that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal.

acquisition or purchase of (A) 5% or more of the Company’s Capital Stock or the Capital Stock of
any of its Subsidiaries or (B) 15% or more of Parent’s Capital Stock, (ii) any acquisition, license
or purchase of assets (other than inventory to be sold in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practice) of Parent, or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
81
(iii) any merger, consolidation or other business combination relating to Parent, or the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (iv) any other transaction that would inhibit, or materially
interfere with or delay the consummation of the Transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements.
(ii) “Superior Proposal” means, with respect to Parent, any unsolicited, bona fide
written Acquisition Proposal on terms that the Board of Directors of Parent determines in its good
faith judgment to be (A) materially more favorable to the Parent Stockholders than the Merger and
the other Transactions, taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal
(including any written counterproposal by the Company to amend the terms of this Agreement in
response to such Acquisition Proposal or otherwise) and after consultation with outside legal
counsel and a nationally recognized financial advisor, and (B) reasonably capable of being
completed on the terms proposed, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other
aspects of such proposal; provided, however, that no Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a
Superior Proposal if any financing required to consummate the Acquisition Proposal is not fully and
irrevocably committed.

Schedule.
(a) Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, shall give prompt
written notice to the other party of (i) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any change, condition
or event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would render any representation or warranty of
Parent or Merger Sub or the Company, as applicable, contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary
Agreement, if made on or immediately following the date of such change, condition or event,
materially untrue or inaccurate, (ii) the occurrence of any change, condition or event that has had

82
correct any information in the Parent Disclosure Schedule or the Company Disclosure Schedule,
as applicable, or in any representation or warranty of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company that has
been rendered inaccurate thereby, promptly following discovery thereof. No such supplement shall
be deemed to cure any breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement or have any effect for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Sections 6.2 and 6.3, the compliance by Parent or the
Company with any covenant set forth herein or the indemnification provided for in Article
VII, except to the extent that such supplement discloses an event, circumstance or fact
existing or that has occurred that, individually or together with any other supplemental
disclosures added to the Parent Disclosure Schedule or Company Disclosure Schedule, as applicable,
after the delivery thereof concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, has not and would not
reasonably be expected to result in, Parent or the Company, as applicable, incurring any Liability
(including any loss or other economic detriment) in excess of $250,000, or any other material
obligation (a “Permitted Supplement”).
Section 5.13 Takeover Statutes. If any state takeover statute or similar Law

83
pursuant to all rights to any indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or
omissions contained in the Company Charter Documents (as in effect on the date of this Agreement)

directors from the Board of Directors of the Company who so qualify until four of them are so

and the Company (as amended from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which
shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
Section 5.19 Exemption from Liability Under Section 16(b). Provided that each

Company Insiders of Parent Common Stock in exchange for Company Shares pursuant to the Merger
contemplated by this Agreement, to the extent such securities are listed in the Section 16
Information, is intended to be exempt from short-swing profit liability pursuant to Section 16(b)
84
under the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) “Section 16 Information” will
mean for each Company Insider, the number of Company Shares (including Company Shares subject to
vesting restrictions) held by such Company Insider and expected to be exchanged for Parent Common
Stock in the Merger, and the number and description of Company Share Options held by such Company
Insider and expected to be converted into Parent Stock Options in connection with the Merger and
(b) “Company Insiders” will mean those officers and directors of the Company, who after the

execution by the parties of this Agreement shall be in the form approved by Parent and the Company.
Thereafter until the Closing Date, no party shall make any public announcement with respect to
this Agreement or the Transactions except as permitted by this Section 5.21. Parent and
the Company may make further public announcements, provided that it shall, to the extent
practicable, first consult with the other party prior to issuing any press release, public
statement or any other public announcement by such party regarding this Agreement, the Merger, the
Ancillary Agreements or the other Transactions, and shall provide one another with the opportunity
to review and comment upon such press release, public statement or other public announcement, and

such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law.

and any other similar Taxes and administrative fees (including, without limitation, notary fees)
arising in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
whether levied on Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates (“Transfer
Taxes”). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.24 only applies to Transfer Taxes

receipts, gross profits or other similar Taxes that are not Transfer Taxes. The Merger
Consideration will be exclusive of any Transfer Taxes.

Damages); provided that if such insurance proceeds are recovered after the Parent Indemnified
Parties have been indemnified, such recovered amount shall be promptly refunded by the Parent
Indemnified Parties to the Indemnity Escrow Fund (not to exceed the amount paid out of the Escrow
Fund with respect to the applicable claim for Damages), and provided further that the Parent
Indemnified Parties shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to recover any third-party
insurance proceeds prior to pressing any claim for indemnification under this Article VII.
Section 7.3 Time Limitations. Any liability for indemnification with respect
to any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement, and any other
liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, shall terminate at 5:00 p.m.
California time on the last day of the Escrow Period unless on or before such time, Parent provides
notice in writing pursuant to Section 7.6 or Section 7.7 of a claim for Damages
against the Indemnity Escrow Fund specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail
to the extent then known by Parent. In the event Parent provides such notice, Parent shall
continue to have the right to recover from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, and to all other rights and
remedies under this Agreement, with respect to the matter or matters to which such claim relates
until such claim has been finally resolved and payment made, if any.
Section 7.4 Other Limitations.
(a) The Parent Indemnified Parties may not recover any Damages pursuant to Section 7.2
unless and until collectively they have incurred, accrued or suffered Damages in excess of $250,000
in the aggregate (the “Basket Amount”), after which, such Parent Indemnified Parties shall
be entitled to recover all such Damages, including Damages in the Basket Amount. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for, and the Basket
Amount shall not apply as a threshold to, any and all claims or payments made with respect to
(i) any Damages incurred pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iii) hereof, or (ii) any Damages
incurred as a result of Shareholder Fraud.
91
(b) For the purpose of quantifying the Damages recoverable by any Parent Indemnified Party
under this Article VII only (but not for determining whether any representation or warranty
has been breached or is inaccurate), any representation or warranty given or made by the Company
that is qualified in scope as to materiality (including a Material Adverse Effect on the Company)
shall be deemed to be made or given without such qualifications.
(c) Nothing herein shall limit, or be deemed to limit, the rights of Parent against (i) any
Major Shareholder under the Company Shareholder Agreements, or (ii) any Shareholder arising under
the letter of transmittal delivered by such Shareholder as described in Section 2.12(a).
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or applicable Law, no party shall be
liable to any other for any punitive damages.
Section 7.5 Value Used for Indemnity. For purposes of determining the number
of shares of Parent Common Stock payable to Parent for any Damages pursuant to this Article
VII, the per share value of Parent Common Stock held in the Indemnity Escrow Fund shall be
deemed to be the arithmetic average closing sale price of the Parent Common Stock on the Nasdaq (
as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the ten full Nasdaq trading days ending one trading day
immediately preceding the date that the shares are delivered by the Escrow Agent pursuant to a
claim, notwithstanding any subsequent increase or decrease in the trading price of shares of Parent
Common Stock on the Nasdaq (or the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other securities market or
exchange on which the Parent Common Stock is then quoted); provided, however, that, if, at any time
during such ten day period, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock have been changed into a
different number of shares or a different class by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision,
reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares, or similar event, then
the per share value of the Indemnity Escrow Shares during such ten day period shall be
correspondingly adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification,
recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares or similar event.
Section 7.6 Procedures Relating to Indemnification Involving Third Party
Claims.
(a) Any Parent Indemnified Party shall notify the Escrow Agent and the Shareholders
Representative prior to the termination of the Escrow Period in writing, and in reasonable detail,
of any claim or demand made against such Parent Indemnified Party by any Person not a party to this
Agreement, including any third party asserting a Tax claim, which claim or demand arises under this
Agreement, and in respect of which such Parent Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under
Section 7.2 (a “Third Party Claim”). Thereafter, until such Damages have been
determined, such Parent Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Escrow Agent and the
Shareholders Representative (i) after such Parent Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of
all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Parent Indemnified Party
relating to the Third Party Claim, and (ii) after such Parent Indemnified Party’s delivery or
filing thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) delivered to such
third party or filed with any court or arbitrator by the Parent Indemnified Party, in each case
relating to the Third Party Claim.
92
(b) In addition to any other Damages, the Parent Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed for the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Parent Indemnified Party in connection with
a Third Party Claim.
(c) The Parent Indemnified Party may not settle, compromise or discharge any Third Party Claim
as to which a claim may be made against the Shareholders or the Escrow Fund without the prior
written consent of the Shareholders Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed, if either (i) Parent reasonably determines that the shares of
Parent Common Stock remaining in the Escrow Indemnity Fund (after deducting the shares reasonably
anticipated to be payable upon resolution of all then unresolved or unpaid pending claims) are not
or would not reasonably be expected to be adequate to compensate the Parent Indemnified Party in
the event that the settlement, compromise or discharge were not approved, or (ii) Parent reasonably
concludes that such Third Party Claim will result or would reasonably be expected to result in
shared liability).
Section 7.7 Other Claims. A claim by any Parent Indemnified Party for
indemnification under Section 7.2 not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by
written notice prior to the termination of the Escrow Period to the Escrow Agent and the
Shareholders’ Representative that states with reasonable specificity the description of such claim
and the amounts in dispute to the extent then known (each such written notice, a
“Dispute”). Thereafter, the Shareholders’ Representative and the Parent Indemnified Party
shall work in good faith to resolve such Dispute for a period not to exceed 20 days from the date
notice was received setting forth the amount claimed. If the parties are unable to resolve such
Dispute within 20 days after notice is received, then either party may submit such Dispute to
arbitration pursuant to Section 9.3 of this Agreement.
Section 7.8 Recovery in the Case of Strict Liability or Negligence. NO CLAIM
FOR DAMAGES BY A PARENT INDEMNIFIED PARTY UNDER SECTION 7.2 SHALL BE UNENFORCEABLE SOLELY
BECAUSE SUCH DAMAGES ARE BASED ON PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE ACTS, CLAIMS OR LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
(INCLUDING ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW OR PRODUCTS LIABILITY LAW), AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY PERSON
(INCLUDING THE PERSON FROM WHOM INDEMNIFICATION OR OTHER RECOVERY IS SOUGHT) ALLEGES OR PROVES THE
CONCURRENT, CONTRIBUTORY OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE PERSON SEEKING SUCH INDEMNIFICATION OR
OTHER RECOVERY, OR THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED ON THE PERSON SEEKING SUCH
INDEMNIFICATION OR OTHER RECOVERY.
Section 7.9 Sole and Exclusive Remedy if the Closing Occurs.
(a) Should the Closing occur, (i) the sole and exclusive remedies of Parent and Merger Sub
with respect to claims under or otherwise relating to this Agreement, whether such claims be in
contract, tort or otherwise, shall be the remedies provided in this Article VII, and (ii)
the sole and exclusive remedies of the Shareholders with respect to claims under or otherwise
relating to this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreements shall be the remedies afforded to such
Shareholders by the securities Laws applicable to each such Shareholder by virtue of their receipt
of Parent Common Stock in connection with the Merger, and no
93
Shareholder will be entitled to any remedies under any other theory, including breach of
contract or tort. Except as set forth herein, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby waive,
from and after the Closing, any and all other remedies which may be available at law or equity for
any breach or inaccuracy or alleged breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of
the Company and of Parent and Merger Sub hereunder, whether such claims be in contract, tort or
otherwise. If the Closing does not occur, the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties shall be as
set forth in Section 8.5, and the provisions of this Article VII shall be
inapplicable.
(b) Nothing in this Article VII will limit the rights of the Shareholders to seek any
remedies with respect to Fraud by Parent or Merger Sub, or Parent or Merger Sub to seek any
remedies with respect to any Shareholder Fraud in connection herewith or the transactions
contemplated hereby (including limiting the time such claims can be made, or making such claims
subject to any deductibles set forth herein).
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the concept of “indemnity” as used in this Article VII
is intended to include claims between or among the parties to this Agreement and not involving any
third party, as well as Third Party Claims.

(i) Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in
this Section 8.5 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
and that, without these agreements, Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the
other, would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Parent or the Company (the
“Defaulting Party”) fails promptly to pay the Company Termination Fee, Parent Transaction
Expenses, Parent Termination Fee or Company Transaction Expenses, as applicable, and, in order to
obtain such payment, the other party commences a suit that results in a judgment against the
Defaulting Party for such termination fee, the Defaulting Party shall pay to the other party
interest on such termination fee or expense payment from and including the date payment that the
termination fee or expense payment was originally due to but excluding the date of actual payment
at an interest rate of 10% per annum.
(j) None of Parent or any of its Affiliates or the Company, the Shareholders or any of their
respective Affiliates shall be entitled to seek, under any circumstances in connection with any
termination of this Agreement, any (i) equitable relief or equitable remedies of any kind
whatsoever, including, without limitation, specific performance, or (ii) money damages or any other
recovery, judgment or damages or any kind, including consequential, indirect or punitive damages,
other than as expressly set forth in this Section 8.5.

that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were
not performed by the other parties in accordance with their respective terms or were otherwise
breached. Accordingly, each party shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof or
other equitable relief, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened
breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement
in any court of the United States, any state therein having jurisdiction or in the State of Israel,
this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity;
provided, that after termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article VIII, the
parties shall only be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief with respect to those
provisions that expressly survive such termination as set forth in Section 8.7; and,
provided further, that in no event shall this Section 8.6 entitle Parent or Merger Sub to
require the Company, or entitle the Company to require Parent or Merger Sub, to bring any Action
against any Purchaser to the Financing Agreement, in such capacity as a Purchaser thereunder. In
connection with any such Action for specific performance or other equitable relief, each party
hereby further waives (i) any defense in any Action for specific performance that a remedy at law
would be adequate and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post security as a prerequisite to
obtaining equitable relief.
100

obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, without any Liability on the part
of any party hereto to any Person in respect hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, and no
party shall have any claim against another (and no Person shall have any rights against such
party), whether under contract, tort or otherwise, except that Section 5.19, this
Article VIII and Article IX hereof, the Confidentiality Agreement and any Ancillary
Agreement entered into prior to termination of this Agreement with respect to any breaches
occurring prior to any termination of this Agreement, will survive. The remedies set forth in this
Article VIII are the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties if this Agreement is

as contemplated by this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or
waiver will be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party. No
failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and
remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and, except as expressly set forth herein, are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder or under applicable
Law.
