agree as follows:

"Option") to purchase up to 7,364 (seven thousand three hundred and
sixty-four) Ordinary Shares par value NIS 1 each of the Company,
representing up to 45% (forty five percent) of the Company's issued and

Price") totaling an aggregate purchase price of up to $270,075 (the
"Purchase Price").
1.2. The Option may be exercisable by the Option Holder during the period
commencing on the Effective Date and ending on June 30th, 2007 (or
earlier pursuant to Section 3.5 below) (the "Option Term") and if not
exercised within the Option Term shall thereafter expire and become null
and void.
1.3. In the event that during the Option Term and as long as the Option, or
part thereof, remains outstanding and unexercised the Company shall issue
Offered Securities (as defined in Section 3.2 below) at a price per share

Term to such adjustment after all or part of the Option has already been
exercised, additional Ordinary Shares shall be issued to the Option
Holder to reflect such adjusted Per Share Price, pro rata in accordance
with the number of Option Shares actually exercised by the Option Holder.
2. Exercise of the Option
2.1. The Option may be exercised by the Option Holder by giving written notice
to the Company at any time prior to the end of the Option Term ("Exercise

available funds for the pro rata portion of the Purchase Price,
calculated according to the number of Option Shares being purchased upon
such exercise multiplied by the Per Share Price. Payment of the Purchase
Price shall be made in US Dollars.
2.2. As promptly as practicable on or after the date of receipt of an Exercise
Notice and payment of the respective portion of the Purchase Price, and
in any event within ten (10) business days thereafter (subject however to
receipt of OCS approval to the extent required pursuant to Section 7
below), at the Option Holder's request, the Company, at its expense,
shall issue and deliver to the Option Holder a certificate or
certificates for the number of Option Shares issuable upon such exercise
and notify the Registrar of Companies of such issuance.
2.3. It is hereby agreed that the Option may be exercised in whole or in part
at any time during the Option Term, provided, however, that the number of
Option Shares exercised under any Exercise Notice shall be not less than
