Section 3.1 EFFECT ON SHARES. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, the Parent, Merger Sub or any holder of any securities of the Company or Merger Sub:

(a) CONVERSION OF COMPANY SHARES. Subject to Section 3.1(d), each ordinary share, 0.01 NIS nominal value each, of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (such shares collectively, “Company Shares” or “Shares” and each, a “Share”), other than Shares held directly or indirectly by the Kibbutz (the “Kibbutz Shares”) and any Shares cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(b) shall, from and after the Effective Time, thereupon be converted into a right to receive $14.50 (fourteen dollars and fifty cents) in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding Taxes (the “Merger Consideration”); and all Shares that have been thus converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 3.1 shall automatically, without any further action on the part of any party, become the wholly owned and unencumbered Shares of the Parent, and will be registered in its name in the register of shareholders of the Company, and the holders of such Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of such certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in respect thereof) or Book-Entry Shares, in each case in accordance with this Article III.

(b) PARENT AND MERGER SUB OWNED SHARES; TREASURY SHARES; DORMANT SHARES. Each Share that is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Parent or Merger Sub or any direct or indirect Subsidiary thereof immediately prior to the Effective Time (in each case, other than any such Shares held on behalf of third parties), and each Share that is considered to be a “dormant share” (menayah redumah) under Israeli law shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(c) NON-CONVERSION OF KIBBUTZ SHARES. As provided in the foregoing subsection (a) of this Section 3.1, no Company Share that is a Kibbutz Share shall, by virtue of the Merger, be converted into a right to receive Merger Consideration, and all such Shares shall remain, directly or indirectly, the property of the Kibbutz. Additional Kibbutz Shares shall be purchased by the Parent from the Kibbutz pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Purchase and Subscription Agreement.

(d) ADJUSTMENTS. If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding Company Shares shall occur as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares or any stock dividend or stock distribution with a record date during such period (it being understood that the right of the Company to effect any of the foregoing shall be subject to Section 6.1 hereof), the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

Section 3.2 EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES.

(a) PAYING AGENT. Prior to the Closing Date, the Parent shall (i) designate the Company’s stock transfer agent (or an Affiliate thereof) or a bank or trust company to act as paying agent hereunder (the “Paying Agent”), in each case reasonably acceptable to the Company, and (ii) enter into a paying agent agreement with such Paying Agent, to serve as Paying Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Shares, cash in U.S. dollars in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration in exchange for all of the Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Shares cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(b) and the Kibbutz Shares), payable upon due surrender of the certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Shares (“Certificates”) (or effective affidavits of loss accompanied by any bond required by Section 3.2(g) in lieu thereof) and non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) pursuant to the provisions of this Article III (such cash, and any proceeds thereon, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) PAYMENT PROCEDURES.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than five Business Days following the Effective Time), the Parent will cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1, (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and that risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss accompanied by any bond required by Section 3.2(g) in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as agreed between the Parent and the Company), and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss accompanied by any bond required by Section 3.2(g) in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments in accordance with this Agreement.

(ii) Upon surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, or the receipt of an “agent’ s message” by the Paying Agent (or such evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares, and such other documents as may customarily be required by the Paying Agent, including a declaration form in which the holder of record of Certificate Shares states whether the holder is a resident of Israel as defined in the Israeli Tax Code and provides such other information as is required pursuant to the Israeli Tax Code and the Israeli Withholding Tax Ruling, if obtained, the holder of such

Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount (subject to any applicable withholding Tax as specified in Section 3.2(b)(iii)) equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares represented by such holder’s properly surrendered Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration, not later than five (5) Business Day following Payment Agent’s receipt of such Certificates (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares, and such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, any amounts payable upon due surrender of the Certificate may be paid to such a transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, is properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and is accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence to the Surviving Corporation’s reasonable satisfaction that any applicable Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.2, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender and in accordance with the terms hereof the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article III.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the Paying Agent, Merger Sub, the Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Shares and Company Share Options (in the case of Company Share Options subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 hereunder), such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code, the Israeli Tax Code, or under any provision of state, local, Israeli or other applicable Law or any other applicable legal requirement; provided that (i) if the Israeli Withholding Tax Ruling is obtained, deduction and withholding of any amounts under the Israeli Tax Code or any other provision of Israeli law, if any, shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of the Israeli Withholding Tax Ruling, and (ii) if any holder of Company Shares provides the Paying Agent, the Parent or the Surviving Corporation with a valid approval or ruling issued by the applicable Governmental Authority regarding the withholding (or reduction or exemption from withholding) of Israeli Tax from the consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, which in the reasonable discretion of Israeli counsel to the Parent is sufficient to enable the Parent to conclude that no withholding or a reduced rate of withholding, as applicable, of Israeli Tax is required, then the deduction and withholding of any amounts under the Israeli Tax Code or any other provision of Israeli law, if any, from the consideration payable to such holder shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such approval or ruling. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, (i) the Paying Agent, the Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall provide the holder of Company Shares from whom an amount was deducted or withheld with a written notice, as may be required by any applicable Law, stating the amount so deducted or withheld, (ii) such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid, and (iii) the Paying Agent and/or the Parent shall cause such amounts to be paid to the proper taxing authorities in accordance with applicable Laws not earlier than three (3) Business Days prior to the last day on which such payment is required, provided, however, that any such withheld or deducted amounts (or such applicable portion thereof) shall be released to any holder of Company Shares when and to the extent that the Paying Agent or the Parent has received, at least four (4) Business Days prior to the last day on which the amounts so withheld or

deducted must be paid to the applicable authority (and before such amounts are paid), certificates or forms issued by the applicable tax authority as are sufficient, under applicable Law, to establish that withholding is not required, in whole or in part, with respect to Merger Consideration payable to such holder of Company Shares.

(c) THE COMPANY’S TRANSFER BOOKS CLOSED; NO FURTHER OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN THE COMPANY SHARES. At the close of business on the day during which the Effective Time occurs: (i) the share transfer books of the Company shall be deemed closed, and no transfer of any Company Shares or any Certificates in respect thereof shall thereafter be made or consummated, other than as contemplated in the Share Purchase and Subscription Agreement, and (ii) all holders of Company Shares (other than the Kibbutz in respect of the Kibbutz Shares) that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of the Company, except the right to receive for each of the Company Shares, upon the surrender of such Certificate or transfer of such Book-Entry Shares in accordance with Article III, the Merger Consideration, in each case as specified herein or by any applicable Law. No further transfer of any such Company Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be made on such share transfer books after the Effective Time, other than as contemplated in the Share Purchase and Subscription Agreement. If, after the Effective Time, a valid Certificate of a Company Share that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time is surrendered for transfer or a valid Book-Entry Share is transferred to the Paying Agent or to the Surviving Corporation or the Parent for transfer, such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in this Article III, subject to the terms of applicable Law. The Merger Consideration shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Shares.

(d) TERMINATION OF EXCHANGE FUND. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains undistributed to the former holders of Shares or Company Options for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Parent upon demand, and any former holders of Shares or Company Options who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to the Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon due surrender of their Shares.

(e) NO LIABILITY. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Company, the Parent, the Kibbutz, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares or Company Options for any amount properly delivered from the Exchange Fund to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall not have been surrendered immediately prior to such date on which the portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration payable to the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share pursuant to this Article III would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Parent, and any former holder of Shares who has not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to the Parent for payment of his or her claim in respect of the portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration payable with respect to such Certificate or Book-Entry Share.

(f) INVESTMENT OF EXCHANGE FUND. The Paying Agent shall invest all cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by the Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation; provided that, (i) no such investment shall relieve the Parent or the Paying Agent from making any payments required by this Article III, (ii) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) such investment shall be in short-term obligations of the United States of America (or be guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America) with maturities of no more than thirty (30) days. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to the Parent. If for any reason the cash in the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment obligations to be made by the Paying Agent hereunder, Parent shall promptly deposit cash in the Escrow Fund in an amount of cash required to fully satisfy such payment obligations.

(g) LOST CERTIFICATES. In the case of any Certificate that has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such holder of a bond in customary or reasonable amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation or the Parent with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate an amount of cash equal to the number of Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate multiplied by the Merger Consideration.

Section 3.3 TREATMENT OF EQUITY AWARDS.

(a) VESTED COMPANY OPTIONS. Each Company Share Option (a “Vested Company Option”) that is vested and outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be exercised as of and subject to occurrence of the Closing. Such exercise shall be effected either by appropriate amendment to the Company Benefit Plan which forces the exercise of the Vested Company Options as of the Closing or by voluntary exercise on the part of the holder of Vested Company Options. Such holders of Vested Company Options shall not be required to make payment of the exercise price of such Vested Company Options at the time of exercise, and instead the following shall apply: As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to transfer to (x) the 102 Trustee (in the case of Vested Company Options held by the 102 Trustee) or (y) the Company (in the case of all other Vested Company Options) the full Merger Consideration payable with respect to the Company Shares obtained upon exercise of such Vested Company Options, and the 102 Trustee or the Company, as the case may be, shall (i) transfer to the Company the full amount of the exercise price for such Company Vested Options, (ii) pay or cause to be paid the balance of the Merger Consideration to each former holder of Vested Company Options, less applicable deductions and withholding at the time of payment, which shall be transferred to the applicable Tax authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proceeds payable with respect to Company Shares obtained upon exercise of Vested Company Options which are held by the Section 102 Trustee shall be held, paid and distributed by the 102 Trustee in accordance with applicable Law, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Code and the regulations and rules promulgated thereunder and the Israeli Options Tax Ruling, if obtained.

(b) UNVESTED COMPANY OPTIONS. Each Company Share Option that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Unvested Company

Options”) shall be cancelled effective as of the Effective Time, provided however that each Unvested Company Option that has an exercise price per share that is less than the Merger Consideration (such Unvested Company Option, a “Cashed-Out Option”) shall entitle the beneficial owner of such Cashed-Out Option to the right to receive, with respect to each Company Share underlying such Cashed Out Option, an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration less the exercise price of such Company Share Option (the “Option Payment”) as set forth in this Section 3.3.

(c) REASONABLE ACTIONS. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all action that may be reasonably necessary (under the Company Benefit Plans, option grant agreements and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.3 and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, all vested Company Options shall have been exercised effective upon the Closing and the holders of Unvested Company Options shall have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 3.3.

(d) PAYMENT TO HOLDERS OF CASHED-OUT OPTIONS. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Parent and the Kibbutz shall transfer or cause the Paying Agent to transfer (i) to the Company, or, as applicable or if required under the Israeli Option Tax Ruling, to the 102 Trustee, a cash payment in an amount equal to the Option Payment which holders of Cashed-Out Options are entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3.3, to be held and distributed in accordance with applicable Law (including, without limitation, until fulfillment of the latter of: (A) the provisions of Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Code and the regulations and rules promulgated thereunder and the Israeli Options Tax Ruling, if obtained), if applicable, and (B) the holder of such Unvested Company Option’s continued employment or service through the applicable vesting dates, according to the vesting schedule applying to the Company Share Option at the Effective Time. The payments required to be made under this Section 3.3(d) shall be shared equally by the Parent and the Kibbutz.

(e) LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLANS AFTER CLOSING. It is the parties’ intention that the Company, under approval of the Board of Directors, shall implement an initial long term incentive plan following the consummation of the transaction, and may at the Board’s discretion implement subsequent long term incentive plans thereafter. Such plans will be set for the benefit of the Chief Executive Officer and a certain number of key employees proposed by the Chief Executive Officer to the Board. The terms, conditions and execution of each long term incentive plan shall be determined by the Board pursuant to which beneficiaries of such plan shall be entitled to a special payment in the event the Company achieves certain long term targets and also depending on the level of individual execution by each beneficiary. During the term of a given long term incentive plan, the Company will put aside each year a certain percentage of its profits to fully fund the payment of such plan.

(b) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 6.4(a), if, prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company receives an unsolicited written Company Alternative Proposal (other than as a result of its material breach of Section 6.4(a)) that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors, constitutes or is reasonably likely to result, after the taking of any of the actions referred to below, in a Company Superior Proposal, the Company may, or the Company may direct its representatives to, (i) contact the third party making such Company Alternative Proposal or its Representatives to clarify the terms and conditions of such proposal, (ii) furnish nonpublic information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the third party (and its representatives) making such Company Alternative Proposal, if, and only if, (A) all such information provided to such third party has previously been made available to Parent or is made available to Parent concurrently with such information being provided to such third party, and (B) prior to so furnishing such information, the Company receives from the third party an executed confidentiality agreement on terms substantially similar to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, and (iii) participate in discussions or negotiations with the third party (and its Representatives) with respect to the Company Alternative Proposal.

(c) From and after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall promptly, and in any event within 48 hours following receipt thereof, advise the Parent orally and in writing of the receipt, directly or indirectly, of any Company Alternative Proposal (including any material modification to such proposal) and any determination by the Board of Directors of the Company under Section 6.4(b), which notification shall identify the offeror and include a copy of any such proposal, if it is in writing, or a written summary of the material terms and conditions of the Company Alternative Proposal. In addition, the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis, and in any event within 48 hours following receipt thereof, with respect to any material development related to such Company Alternative Proposal, including the entering into discussions or negotiations and the results of such discussions or negotiations and any changes in material terms or conditions based thereon. In the event of any Company Change in Recommendation, the Company shall provide Parent with the Company’s shareholder lists and, following a Company Change in Recommendation, Parent may contact the Company’s shareholders and prospective investors without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 6.8 subject to Parent’s compliance with applicable Law.

(d) Prior to receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Board of Directors of the Company may (A) change, withhold, withdraw (or modify or amend in a manner adverse to Parent) the Company Recommendation, or publicly propose to change, withhold or withdraw (or modify or amend in a manner adverse to Parent) the Company Recommendation, or (B) recommend or approve, or propose publicly to recommend or approve, any Company Alternative Proposal that constitutes a Company Superior Proposal (any such action, a “Company Change in Recommendation”) if:

(i) the Board of Directors of the Company has concluded in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors, that the failure of the Board of Directors of the Company to effect a Company Change in Recommendation is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary obligations of caution and loyalty and good faith to the Company’s shareholders under applicable Israeli Law;

(ii) the Company has provided Parent seven (7) Business Days’ written notice advising Parent of the material terms and conditions of such Company Superior Proposal and its intention to make a Company Change in Recommendation (a “Recommendation Change Notice”); and

(iii) the Board of Directors of the Company has taken into account any revised proposal made by Parent to the Company within five Business Days of providing Parent with a Recommendation Change Notice (the “Recommendation Change Notice Period”) and again has determined in good faith, after consultation with its legal and financial advisors, that the proposal from the third party that was described in the Recommendation Change Notice remains a Company Superior Proposal; provided that, if the third party whose proposal was described in the Recommendation Change Notice modifies or amends such proposal to increase the consideration to be paid or amends other material terms during or after the Recommendation Change Notice Period, a new seven (7) Business Day period shall begin for purposes of this Section 6.4(d)(iii) prior to the Board of Directors of the Company making a Company Change in Recommendation pursuant to this Section 6.4(d).

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 6.4 of this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or its Board of Directors from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company’s shareholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, it being understood that a “stop, look and listen” communication to the shareholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the shareholders of the Company) shall not be deemed to be or constitute a Company Change in Recommendation; (ii) complying with Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act; (iii) making any disclosure to its shareholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company (after consultation with outside legal counsel), failure to so disclose is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with applicable Law; or (iv) informing any Person of the existence of the provisions contained in this Section 6.4. In addition, it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Agreement, a factually accurate public statement by the Company that describes the Company’s receipt of a Company Alternative Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto shall not be deemed a withdrawal or modification, or proposal by the Board of Directors of the Company to withdraw or modify, the Company Recommendation, an adoption or recommendation with respect to such Company Alternative Proposal or a Company Change in Recommendation.

(f) The Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing negotiations or discussions with any third party conducted heretofore with respect to any Company Alternative Proposal. The Company shall, if it has not already done so, promptly request, to the extent it has a contractual right to do so, that each Person, if any, that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement within the 12 months immediately prior to the date of this Agreement in connection with such Person’s consideration of a Company Alternative Proposal return or destroy all confidential information or data heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(g) As used in this Agreement, “Company Alternative Proposal” shall mean any unsolicited bona fide proposal or offer made, or any indication of interest in making a

proposal or offer, by any Person (other than the Parent) or group prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval (other than a proposal or offer by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) for (i) a merger or business combination or similar transaction, including any single or multi-step transaction or series of related transactions, with the Company, (ii) the direct or indirect acquisition (by purchase, tender offer, exchange offer or otherwise) by any Person of 20% or more of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (iii) the acquisition by any Person or group of 20% or more of the issued and outstanding Company Shares or any other class of share capital of the Company (or any securities convertible into any of the foregoing), (iv) the exclusive, long term license of Intellectual Property of the Company and its Subsidiaries to any third party if such license would be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (v) any recapitalization transaction in which the shareholders of the Company receive a payment or distribution in the form of cash, debt securities or securities with a limited life, or (vi) any combination of the foregoing items (i) through (v).

(h) As used in this Agreement, “Company Superior Proposal” shall mean a written Company Alternative Proposal for or in respect of the acquisition of 50% or more of the outstanding Company Shares or 50% or more of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets, taken as a whole, that, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Company after consultation with the Company’s financial and legal advisors, and considering such factors as the Board of Directors of the Company considers to be appropriate (including the conditionality and the timing and likelihood of consummation of such proposal and any fees to be paid to Parent pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof): (i) is on terms that are more favorable, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders (other than the Kibbutz) of the Company than the Transactions and (ii) the completion of which is not conditioned on the receipt of financing.

(i) The Company furthermore acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, the provisions regarding exclusivity set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement shall be replaced and superseded by the provisions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 6.5 FILINGS, OTHER ACTIONS.

(a) COURT APPROVAL AND SHAREHOLDERS MEETING. As promptly as practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and in accordance with Sections 350 and 351 of the Israeli Companies Law, the Company shall submit to the district court of Tel Aviv-Jaffa (the “Applicable Court”) a first motion to convene, in the manner set forth in the Israeli Companies Law and the regulations promulgated pursuant to Sections 350 and 351 of the Israeli Companies Law and as shall otherwise be ordered by the Applicable Court, a shareholders meeting (the “Shareholders Meeting”) and, if required by the Applicable Court, a creditors meeting (collectively, the “Company Meetings”) for the approval of the terms and conditions of an arrangement between the Company and its shareholders (the “Company Shareholder Approval”) and/or creditors, including this Agreement, the Merger, and the other Transactions, (the “Merger Proposal”) by a majority in number representing at least 75% of the votes cast in the Company Meetings, provided, that (i) such majority shall include, for the purpose of approving any issues which may be considered to be an interested party transaction in accordance with Section 270(4) of the Israeli Companies Law, the affirmative votes of at least one third of the shares represented at the Company Meetings held by Persons who do not have a personal interest in the Transactions (the “Disinterested Shares”), without taking into account any abstaining participants, or (ii) the total number of Disinterested Shares voted against the Merger Proposal shall not exceed 1% of the aggregate voting rights in the Company (the “Section 350 Vote”).

(b) In furtherance of its obligations under Section 6.5(a), the Company shall take all action necessary to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Shareholders Meeting, which it is intended shall be held as promptly as reasonably practicable under the circumstances. The Company shall furthermore, through its Board of Directors, recommend without reservation to its shareholders the approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions (the “Company Recommendation”), and will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to solicit from its shareholders proxies to be exercised in favor of the approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions. As part of the notice of the Company Meetings, the Company will deliver to each of its shareholders and, if required by the Applicable Court, to each of its creditors, a notice of the meetings, the order of the court to convene the meetings, the application for the approval of the proposed Merger Proposal submitted to the court and a proxy card for the vote (collectively, the “Information Statement”). The Information Statement will include a description of the rights of a shareholder or a creditor, as applicable, to object to the Merger Proposal, information on the hearing scheduled before the Applicable Court and the Company Recommendation. Following the approval of the Merger Proposal by the shareholders and, if applicable, the creditors as set forth above, the Company will submit to the Applicable Court a second motion for the approval of the arrangement and the Merger Proposal and the order of all actions to be taken in accordance with the Merger Proposal (these approvals when obtained shall be collectively referred to as the “Court Approval”). Each of the Company and the Parent shall cause their respective Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants to coordinate all activities, and to cooperate with each other, with respect to the preparation and filing of the Information Statement and all documents required to be prepared, filed and published with respect to the Court Approval. The Company shall afford the Parent the opportunity to review and comment on the Information Statement before it is submitted to the Applicable Court or to the SEC, and before any amendments or changes to it are made or announced or otherwise communicated publicly. In addition, each of the Company and the Parent shall at all times comply with all the procedures detailed in the Israeli Companies Law and any other applicable Law and shall make all necessary actions in order to minimize the length of time of such procedures. The Company may adjourn or postpone the Shareholders Meeting (i) if and to the extent necessary to provide any necessary supplement or amendment of the notice to the Company’s shareholders in advance of a vote on this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions, or (ii) if, as of the time for which the Shareholders Meeting is scheduled (as set forth in the notice for the Shareholders Meeting), the number of Company Shares present at the Shareholders Meeting either in person or by proxy, is insufficient to constitute the required quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Shareholders Meeting. In the event that the Parent or any of its Affiliates casts any votes in respect of the Merger, the Parent shall disclose to the Company in writing the number of shares and how they were voted.

(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company, the Parent, Merger Sub and the Kibbutz shall prepare and file collectively with the SEC a Schedule 13E-3 (the “Schedule 13E-3”) and shall each use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to respond to any comments by the SEC staff in respect of the Schedule 13E-3. The Company shall afford the Parent the opportunity to review and

comment on the Schedule 13E-3 prior to filing it with the SEC, as well as any amendments or supplements thereto. Subject to applicable Law, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the SEC or its staff advises that it has no further comments on the Schedule 13E-3, or that the Company may distribute the Schedule 13E-3, the Company shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause the Schedule 13E-3 to be distributed to the shareholders of the Company. The Schedule 13E-3 will comply as to form in all material respects with the provisions of the Exchange Act.

(ii) The Company agrees that none of the information with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries to be included or incorporated by reference in the Schedule 13E-3 will, at the time of the filing and mailing of the Schedule 13E-3 or any amendments or supplements thereto, and at the time of the Company Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no covenant is made by the Company with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein with respect to the Parent or Merger Sub to the extent reviewed by, or based on information supplied by, the Parent or Merger Sub or any Representative or Affiliate of the Parent or Merger Sub in connection with the preparation of the Schedule 13E-3 for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein. If at any time prior to the Company Meeting any event or circumstance relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or their respective officers or directors, should be discovered by the Company that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Schedule 13E-3 so that such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the Company shall promptly inform the Parent and following of which an amendment or supplement shall be filed with the SEC and, if required by applicable Law, such amendment or supplement shall be mailed to the Company’s shareholders. Any expenses incurred in connection with the printing, filing and mailing of the Schedule 13E-3 (including applicable SEC filing fees) shall be paid by the Company.

(iii) The Parent agrees that none of the information with respect to the Parent or its Subsidiaries provided by or on behalf of the Parent to be included in the Schedule 13E-3 will, at the time of the filing and mailing of the Schedule 13E-3 or any amendments or supplements thereto, and at the time of the Company Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no covenant is made by either the Parent or Merger Sub with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein to the extent based on information supplied by the Company or any Representative or Affiliate of the Company in connection with the preparation of the Schedule 13E-3 for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein. If at any time prior to the Company Meeting any event or circumstance relating to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or their respective officers or directors, should be discovered by the Parent that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Schedule 13E-3 so that such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the Parent shall promptly inform the Company following of which an amendment or supplement shall be filed with the SEC, and, if required by applicable Law, shall be mailed to the Company’s shareholders.

(d) ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION. The Company shall take all necessary action to cause the Articles of Association of the Company to be amended, at the Effective Time, to be the Amended Articles of Association.

Section 6.6 EMPLOYEE MATTERS. The Parent and the Company hereby agree that, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 16 of the Confidentiality Agreement, until June 30, 2011, neither of such party nor its Representatives (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) will offer to hire or hire any person currently employed by the other party; provided that this provision shall not prohibit either party or its Representatives from employing and person who contacts such party or its Representatives on his or her own initiative or as the result of a general solicitation or broad-based executive search.

(c) The Parent and the Company will cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the making of all registrations, filings, and notifications, both formal and informal, and any other material actions pursuant to this Section 6.7, including, subject to applicable legal limitations and the instructions of any Governmental Authority, by permitting counsel for the other party to review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any proposed written communication to any Governmental Authority and by providing counsel for the other party with copies of all filings and submissions made by such party and reasonably requested by such counsel and all correspondence between such party (and its advisors) and any Governmental Authority and any other information supplied by such party and such party’s Subsidiaries to a Governmental Authority or received from a Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and that is reasonably requested by such counsel; provided that to the extent permitted by applicable Law, materials may be redacted (x) to remove references concerning the valuation of the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (y) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (z) as necessary to address privilege or confidentiality concerns.

(ii) that either: (A) exempts Parent, the Company, the Paying Agent and their respective agents from any obligation to withhold Israeli Tax at source from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, or clarifying that no such obligation exists; or (B) clearly instructs Parent, the Company, the Paying Agent and their respective agents how such withholding at source is to be performed, and in particular, with respect to the classes or categories of holders or former holders of Company Shares from which Tax is to be withheld (if any), and the rate or rates of withholding to be applied (the “Israeli Withholding Tax Ruling” and together with the Israeli Options Ruling, the “Israeli Tax Rulings”).

The Company shall, and shall instruct its representatives and advisors to, cooperate with Parent and its Israeli counsel, representatives and 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 parties shall use 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.

advisors to participate in all discussions and meetings relating thereto. To the extent that the Parent’s representative and advisors elect not to participate in any meeting or discussion, the Company’s representatives and advisors shall provide a prompt and full report of the discussions held. In any event, the final text of the Israeli Tax Rulings shall in all circumstances be subject to the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 6.13 DIRECTORS’ AND OFFICERS’ INSURANCE; INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS.

Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time until seven years from the Effective Time, unless otherwise required by Law, the articles of association, certificate of incorporation and by-laws (as applicable) and comparable organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries shall contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnitees with respect to exculpation and limitation of liabilities of directors and officers, insurance and indemnification than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the Company’s Articles of Association and comparable organizational documents of the relevant Subsidiaries, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees with respect to exculpation and limitation of liabilities or insurance and indemnification.

(b) The Company shall, after reasonable consultation with the Parent in good faith, purchase at the Effective Time, a “tail” policy (the “Tail Policy”), which policy shall be exclusively “A side”, “B side” and “C side” coverage, from an insurer with a Standard & Poor’s rating of at least A or from a licensed insurance company registered in Israel, which (i) has an effective term of seven years from the Effective Time, (ii) covers each Indemnitee, (iii) contains terms that are no less favorable than those of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in effect on the date of this Agreement and on terms comparable to companies similarly situated in the industries in which the Company operates and (iv) is at a cost not in excess of 220% of the current annual premium.

(c) The Indemnitees to whom this Section 6.13 applies shall be intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.13. The provisions of this Section 6.13 are intended to be for the benefit of each Indemnitee, his or her successors, heirs or representatives. All reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and all other obligations provided in this Section 6.13 that may be incurred by (i) any Indemnitee in enforcing the indemnity, and (ii) the Surviving Corporation or their respective successors and assigns, as the case may be, in defending the indemnity shall be the responsibility of the party who does not prevail in such enforcement action.

(d) This Section 6.13 shall be binding upon the Surviving Corporation and its successors and assigns. In the event that the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns consolidates with, or merges into, any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.13.

A terminating party shall provide written notice of termination to the other parties specifying with reasonable particularity the basis for such termination. If more than one provision in Section 8.1 is available to a terminating party in connection with a termination, a terminating party may rely on any or all available provisions in Section 8.1 for any termination.
