Escrow Agent and distributed in accordance with the terms of the Tax Escrow Agreement. Among other
things, the Tax Escrow Agreement shall provide that if a Securityholder does not deliver a

withheld. Such a confirmation will be provided within fourteen (14) days from the date of
withholding. In addition, in the case that the relevant tax authority does not accept the form of
such confirmation, then, if requested, each of Buyer and the Company shall reasonably cooperate
with the Affected Securityholder with the aim of providing the Affected Securityholder with an
appropriate confirmation acceptable to the relevant tax authority If Buyer, Buyer’s agents or the

period, the Proposed Net Assets Calculation shall be deemed to be the “Final Net Assets” and shall
be binding on the parties to this Agreement.
(e) If the Representative shall object to the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet or Buyer’s
Proposed Net Assets Calculation as reflected in the Balance Sheet Dispute Notice, a representative
of Buyer, on the one hand, and the Representative, on the other, shall attempt in good faith to
resolve any such objection within 10 days of the receipt by Buyer of such notice. If Buyer and the
Representative shall be unable to resolve any such dispute within such 20 day period, Buyer and the
Representative (either together or separately) shall be entitled to submit the dispute to the
Independent Accounting Firm. Each of the parties to this Agreement shall, and shall cause their
respective officers, directors, employees, and representatives to, provide full cooperation to the
Independent Accounting Firm. The Independent Accounting Firm shall (i) consider only those matters
as to which there is a dispute between the parties, (ii) be instructed to determine which party to
the dispute shall be deemed to be the “prevailing party” and which shall be deemed to be the
“non-prevailing party”, and (iii) be instructed to reach its conclusions regarding any such dispute
within 30 days after its appointment and provide a written explanation of its decision. In the
event that Buyer and the Representative shall submit any dispute to an Independent Accounting Firm,
each such party may submit a “position paper” to the Independent Accounting Firm setting forth the
position of such party with respect to such dispute, to be considered by such Independent
Accounting Firm as it deems fit. All fees and expenses relating to the engagement of the
Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid by the party (Buyer or the Shareholders, as the case may
be) determined by the Independent Accounting Firm to be the “non-prevailing party” in connection
with the dispute; provided, however, that if the Independent Accounting Firm shall
determine in its reasonable discretion that neither party shall be the “non-prevailing party,” then
such fees and expenses shall be borne 50% by Buyer and 50% by the Shareholders. Buyer may elect to
pay to the Independent Accounting Firm the fees and expenses for which the Shareholders are
determined by the
Independent Accounting Firm to be responsible hereunder (the “Shareholder Expenses”), in which
case Buyer shall be reimbursed for such payment by deduction of the amount of the Shareholder
Expenses from the Escrow Amount as “Damages” for purposes of Article 8 without regard to the Basket
(as defined in Section 8.2).
(f) In the event that it is determined that the Net Assets used by the parties in the
calculation of the Total Consideration at the Closing shall be greater or less than the Final Net
Assets as determined in accordance with the procedures set forth above, (i) in the event that the
Net Assets shall have been overstated in the calculation of the Total Consideration at the Closing
(the “Indemnifiable Net Assets Shortfall”), Buyer shall be entitled to deduct from the Escrow
Amount the entire amount by which the Net Assets exceeds the Final Net Assets and (ii) in the event
that the Closing Net Assets shall
- 17 -
have been understated in the calculation of the Total
Consideration for purposes of the payments to be made at the Closing, Buyer shall promptly pay out
the entire amount by which the Final Net Assets exceeds the Net Assets to the Securityholders in
accordance with each Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share. Any overstated Net Assets amount shall be
treated as “Damages” for purposes of Article 8 without regard to the Basket, and shall be borne by
the Securityholders in accordance with each Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share.
2.3. Escrow Fund.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 2, at the Closing Date and
subject to and in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, Buyer shall pay to the Escrow Agent, for
deposit into an escrow fund on behalf of each Securityholder, the [**] (as increased from time to
time by the amount of any interest, dividends, earnings and other income on such amount and as
reduced from time to time by any disbursements from the escrow fund, the “Escrow Amount”).
(b) The Escrow Amount shall be held in escrow and shall be available to compensate the Buyer
Indemnitees as provided in Article 8. To the extent not used for such purposes, such funds shall
be released as provided in Article 8 hereof. Each Securityholder shall be deemed to have
contributed an amount to the Escrow Amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of [**].
2.4. Pro-forma Spreadsheet. Exhibit C contains the pro-forma Spreadsheet
setting forth the Company’s calculation (based on assumptions as to (x) the Closing Date and (y)
the Transaction Expenses to be included in calculating the Total Consideration).
2.5. The Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Closing
shall take place at the offices of Yignal Arnon & Co., 22 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, on the
Closing Date.
2.6. Surrender of Certificates Representing Company Common Stock.
(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deposit the Total Cash Consideration with
the Paying Agent and shall deposit the Total Stock Consideration to be deposited to U.S. Bank,
National Association as Escrow Agent. Each Executing Shareholder shall deliver to the Paying
Agent, all of such Shareholder’s outstanding share certificates representing Company Shares (or an
affidavit of lost certificate relating to such share certificates duly executed by such
Shareholder), which certificates (or affidavit) shall be accompanied by executed but undated share
transfer deeds transferring the Company Shares from the Executing Shareholders to the Buyer, and
Buyer shall, subject to the terms of Sections 2.1(d) and 2.3, cause the Paying Agent to deliver as
soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date that portion of the Total Consideration which
each Securityholder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1 delivered to each Shareholder
by (i) wire transfer of immediately available funds to such accounts as such Shareholder specifies
in written instructions to the
Paying Agent not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing or, (ii) if such
written instructions are not received by Buyer not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the
Closing, via check. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Company Shares or options
to purchase Company shares are held in trust pursuant to Section 102 of the Ordinance, the Paying
Agent will make payment of the consideration that such holder of Company Shares or option to
purchase Company Shares is entitled to receive directly to the “Section 102 Plan” trustee.”
(b) No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock shall be
issued upon the surrender for exchange of Shareholder certificates, and such fractional share
interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights as a stockholder of Buyer.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Securityholder who would otherwise have
- 18 -
been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Buyer Common Stock (after taking into account all
certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in
an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of Buyer Common Stock multiplied by the Buyer
Common Stock Value.
2.7. Further Assurances. If, at any time before or after the Closing, any of the
parties hereto reasonably believes or is advised by their attorneys that any further instruments,
deeds, assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary to consummate the Share Purchase or to
carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement at or after the Closing, then the Company,
Buyer, their respective officers and directors and the Shareholders and/or the Representative on
their behalf shall execute and deliver all such proper deeds, assignments, instruments and
assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary to consummate the Share Purchase and to
carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

the continued qualification for the incentives, subsidies or benefits or the terms or duration

currently before any court, tribunal or equivalent authority anywhere in the world relating to the
Company Intellectual Property or Company Products and, to the Knowledge of the Company, none have

Intellectual Property nor Company Product is subject to any
outstanding decree, order, judgment, Contract (including any settlement agreement), injunction,
stipulation or decree restricting in any manner the Use, transfer, or licensing thereof by Company,

(iii) all licenses, sublicenses, options, covenants not to xxx and other Contracts pursuant to
which Company is granted any options, licenses or other rights with respect to any Intellectual
Property (other than Off-the-Shelf Software licenses) (“Inbound Licenses”). The Inbound Licenses,

and the Outbound Licenses is in full force and effect and is valid and binding upon the Company,
and to the Knowledge of the Company, other parties thereto and enforceable in accordance with its
terms. There exists no event of default or condition that does or will result in the Company’s
violation or breach of any of the Inbound Licenses or the Outbound Licenses; and to the Company’s
Knowledge, there exists no event of default or condition that does or will result in a violation or
breach of any of the Inbound Licenses or the Outbound Licenses by any other party. All of
Company’s Use of Intellectual Property owned by Persons other than Company is in accordance in all
material respects with the terms of the applicable Inbound License or Outbound License. None of the
Outbound Licenses grant any Person any exclusive rights to or under any Company Intellectual
Property or any right to sublicense Company Intellectual Property. Prior to the Closing Date,
Company has provided Buyer with true and complete copies of all Outbound Licenses and Inbound
Licenses. The rights of Company in and to the Intellectual Property owned by Company and the
rights granted to Company pursuant to the Inbound Licenses constitute all of the Intellectual
Property rights used in and/or necessary for the Company Business (other than Off-the-Shelf

purchase of capital stock, purchase of assets or otherwise); (ii) an investment in (including by

upon any material asset, right or property of Company (including, without limitation, any of

under this Agreement or that could reasonably be expected to diminish the likelihood of or render
impracticable the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (each, a
“Prohibited Transaction”); or (b) authorize or consummate a Prohibited Transaction. Upon execution
and delivery of this Agreement, each Shareholder and Company shall: (x) terminate any and all
discussions, if any, they may be having regarding a Prohibited Transaction; and (y) immediately
notify Buyer in writing if they thereafter receive any inquiries or offers from any Person
regarding a Prohibited Transaction, which notice shall be sufficiently detailed as to identify the
nature and structure of the Prohibited Transaction as proposed, and any Shareholder and Company
shall refuse to discuss and immediately reject such inquiry or offer. Neither any Shareholder nor
Company or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives or agents,
including any investment banker, attorney or accountant engaged by any of them, shall amend,
modify, waive or terminate, or otherwise release any Person from, any standstill, confidentiality
or similar agreement or arrangement currently in effect in relation to a Prohibited Transaction.
Each Shareholder and Company shall cause their respective officers, directors, agents, advisors and
representatives to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.8.
6.9. Tax Matters.
(a) Filing of Tax Returns and Payment of Taxes. The Company shall file, in a timely
and proper manner, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company on or before the Closing
Date, and pay timely any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. The Buyer shall cause the
Company to file, in a timely and proper manner, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company
after the Closing Date, and pay timely any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns; provided that
the Representative shall be entitled to review and approve the relevant portions of any Tax Returns
for periods for which the Shareholders may have an obligation to indemnify for Taxes hereunder,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(b) Allocation of Liability for Taxes. The Shareholders shall be responsible for all
Taxes of the Company relating to (i) any taxable period that ends on or before the Closing Date and
(ii) the portion of any Straddle Period ending at the end of the Closing Date as determined in
accordance with Section 6.9(c) below, other than any Taxes for which adequate reserves have been
provided in the Company Balance Sheet. The Buyer shall be responsible for all Taxes of the Company
relating to (i) any taxable period that begins after the Closing Date, (ii) the portion of any
Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date as determined in accordance with Section 6.9(c)
below, and (iii) Taxes for which adequate reserves have been provided in the Company Balance Sheet.
(c) Allocation of Taxes for Straddle Periods. For purposes of this Section 6.9,
whenever it is necessary to allocate the liability for Taxes for a Straddle Period, the
determination of the Taxes of the Company for the portion of the Straddle Period ending at the end
of the Closing Date (borne by the Shareholders) and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning
after the Closing Date (borne by the Buyer) will be determined by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two taxable
years or periods, one of which ended at the close of business on the Closing Date and the other of
which began at the beginning of the day after the Closing Date, and items of income, gain,
deduction, loss or credit of the Company for the Straddle Period will be allocated between such two
(2) taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of the
Company were closed at the close of
- 48 -
business on the Closing Date; provided,
however, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis,
such as the deduction for depreciation, will be apportioned between such two Taxable years or
periods on a daily basis.
(d) Israeli Tax Rulings. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Agreement Date,
Company shall instruct its advisors to prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling:
(i) that either: (i) exempts Buyer and the Company and their agents from any obligation
to withhold Israeli Tax at source from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant
to this Agreement to Shareholders, or clarifies that no such obligation exists; or (ii) instructs
Buyer and the Company and their agents how such withholding at source is to be performed, and the
rate or rates of withholding to be applied (the “Israeli Withholding Tax Ruling”);
(ii) provides that all payments out of the Escrow Amount shall not be subject to Israeli
Tax or withholding requirements until actually received by the persons entitled to such payments
(the “Escrow Tax Ruling”); and
(iii) a ruling that confirms that: (A) the purchase of Company Shares issued under
Company Options which at the Closing are held in trust by the trustee appointed by the Company for
the purpose of the Company’s “Section 102 Plan” and the payment of consideration in respect of such
Company Options directly to such trustee will not result in a requirement for an immediate Israeli
Tax payment; (B) that the Israeli taxation will be deferred until the end of the “lock up period”
under any “Section 102 Plan” and release of the consideration to the Shareholder holding the
Company Option; (the “Israeli Option Tax Pre-Ruling” and together with the Israeli Withholding Tax
Ruling and the Escrow Tax Ruling, the “Israeli Tax Rulings”).
The Company shall, and shall instruct its representatives and advisors to, cooperate with
Buyer 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. To avoid
doubt, 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 the consent of the Buyer. Notwithstanding, the
final text of the Israeli Tax Rulings shall in all circumstances be subject to the prior written
confirmation of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
6.10. Employee Matters.
(a) Offer Letters. Without derogating from the generality of Section 6.3, the Company
shall provide Buyer with reasonable access to the Company employees during normal working hours and
upon reasonable notice to the Company following the Agreement Date to, among other things, discuss
and deliver offer letters containing revised terms of employment (if Buyer so elects) and to
provide information to such employees about Buyer. All communications by Buyer with the Company
employees shall be coordinated with the Company and shall be conducted in a manner that does
not unreasonably disrupt or interfere with the Company’s efficient and orderly operation of its
business and subject to reasonable consideration of the Company’s reasonable requests with respect
to timing and content thereof.
- 49 -
(b) Employee Benefit Plans. Buyer agrees that, subject to any necessary transition
period and subject to any applicable plan provisions, contractual requirements or Applicable Law:
(i) all employees of the Company who continue employment with Buyer or any affiliate of Buyer after
the Closing (“Continuing Employees”) shall be eligible to receive employee benefits that
are substantially similar in the aggregate to those employee benefits provided to similarly
situated employees of Buyer and its subsidiaries; and (ii) for the sole purpose of determining a
Continuing Employee’s eligibility to receive such employee benefits (but not for purposes of
benefit accrual), such Continuing Employee shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law,
receive credit under such benefit plans (other than under any sabbatical program) for his or her
years of continuous service with the Company prior to the Closing to the same extent as such
Continuing Employee was entitled, prior to the Closing, to credit for such service under any
similar benefit plan in which such Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate
immediately prior to the Closing; provided that, that such credit shall not result in duplication
of benefits and such credit shall not apply with respect to any “years of service” or similar
calculations for benefits to be paid under defined benefit pension plans. Nothing in this Section
6.10 will be or be deemed to be an amendment of any benefit plan or benefit agreement of the
Company or will require Buyer to continue the service relationship (whether as an employee,
director, consultant, or otherwise) of any individual.
(c) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Section 6.10 or elsewhere in this
Agreement shall be construed to create a right in any Company employee to employment with Buyer or
any affiliate of Buyer. No Company employee, and no Continuing Employee, shall be deemed to be a
third party beneficiary of this Agreement.
6.11. Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.
(a) From and after the Closing, Buyer will cause the Company to fulfill and honor, subject to
any limitations under applicable Law, the obligations of the Company pursuant to the
indemnification agreements set forth in Section 6.11 of the Company Disclosure Schedule as
in effect on the date hereof between the Company and its current and former directors and officers
(the “Indemnified Parties”) with respect to acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the
Closing Date and solely to the extent that indemnification is provided under the indemnification
agreements with such individuals.
(b) Buyer shall cause the Company to and the Company shall maintain a policy or policies of
officers’ and directors’ liability insurance for acts and omissions occurring prior to the Closing
(“D&O Insurance”) with coverage in an amount of at least $3,000,000 for a period of seven
years after the Closing).
(c) Following the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Company to keep in effect for seven years
after the Closing all provisions in the Company’s articles of association that provide for
exculpation of director and officer liability and indemnification (and advancement of expenses
related thereto) of the past and present officers and directors of the Company with respect to acts
or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date and to the extent that are presently
indemnified by the Company and any such provisions shall not be amended except as either required
by applicable Law or to make changes permitted by Law that would not adversely effect the rights of
past or present officers and directors to indemnification and advancement of expenses.
(d) The provisions of this Section 6.11 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be
enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives,
notwithstanding any release executed by any Indemnified Party in connection with the transactions
contemplated herein or his or her departure from the Company unless a release of the provisions of
this Section is specifically provided for in such release.
- 50 -
6.12. Certain Operational Covenants.
(a) The Company shall ensure that a true and complete copy of all source code and object code
versions of the Company Software (excluding the source code for Licensed Intellectual Property with
respect to which no rights to source code are granted to Company) and all user and technical
documentation related thereto in the Company’s possession shall be made available to Buyer promptly
after the Closing.
(b) The Company shall take all reasonable actions requested by Buyer to allow Buyer to remove,
effective immediately following the Effective Time, as signatories from each of the current
authorized signatories on all of the bank and deposit accounts of the Company and to designate the
representatives of Buyer as the sole authorized signatories on such accounts.
6.13. Reports Under Exchange Act; Registration Statement.
(a) With a view to making available to the Securityholders the benefits of Rule 144 and any
other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Securityholder to sell Buyer
Common Stock received pursuant to this Agreement to the public without, Buyer shall:
(b) make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood
and defined in Rule 144;
(c) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports
and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any
time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements); and
(d) furnish to any Securityholder, so long as the Securityholder owns any Buyer Common Stock,
forthwith upon request (1) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has
complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act; (2)
a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and
documents so filed by the Company; and (3) such other information as may be reasonably requested in
availing any Securityholder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any
such securities without registration.
(e) If requested by the Representative, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 (or such successor or other
appropriate form) under the Securities Act with respect to the Buyer Common Stock requested to be
registered no earlier than the date that is six months after the Closing Date (the “Registration
Statement”), and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to
be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable thereafter; provided,
however, that Buyer shall not be obligated to file more than one (1) Registration Statement
pursuant to this Section 6.13 and provided, further, however, that Buyer
shall not be required to file a Registration Statement if all shares of Buyer Common Stock held by
any former Securityholder requesting registration can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the
Securities Act after the date that is six months after the Closing Date without filing of
a Registration Statement and an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Representative
(which may be counsel to the Buyer) shall be sufficient to confirm that such shares can be sold in
compliance with Rule 144. The Company’s obligation to file a Registration Statement shall be
subject to the Buyer and the Securityholder whose shares are being registered entering into an
agreement with the Buyer which would include provisions related to provision of information to the
Buyer as required under the Securities Act, the Buyer’s right to suspend sales under such
Registration Statement in the event of material undisclosed
- 51 -
information or events with respect to
Buyer, indemnification obligations of the Securityholder and the Buyer, and other customary
provisions.

following information:
(i) that Buyer or another Buyer Indemnitee has directly or indirectly incurred, paid or
properly accrued or, in good faith, reasonably believes it shall have to directly or indirectly
incur, pay or accrue, Damages in an aggregate stated amount arising from such Claim (which amount

facts, circumstances or events giving rise to the alleged Damages based on Buyer’s good faith

agreement and shall distribute from the Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of the
memorandum or agreement.
(c) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, any of Buyer or the
Representative may, by written notice to the other, demand arbitration of the matter unless the

selected shall select a third arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrators as to the validity and
amount of any claim in any disputed Notice of Claim shall be binding
and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to
act in accordance with such decision and make or withhold payments out of the Escrow Amount in

Agreement to Exhibits, Sections or Articles, such reference shall be to an Exhibit to, Section of
or Article of this Agreement, respectively, unless otherwise indicated. The words “include”,

words “without limitation”. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes
only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The parties

construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed
against the party drafting such agreement or document.

disclosing party shall be returned by the receiving party to the disclosing party or be destroyed,
as provided in the NDA.
10.13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the exhibits and schedules hereto, the
related agreements to which any Shareholder is a party constitute the entire understanding and
agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and

of the terms hereof.
