TRANSACTION AGREEMENT

THIS TRANSACTION AGREEMENT, dated as of March 21, 2006 (this “Agreement”), is by and among BMC Software Israel, Limited, an Israeli company (“Buyer”), BMC Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”) and Identify Software Ltd., an Israeli company (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Annex A hereto.

WHEREAS, Buyer desires to acquire all of the Shares (as herein defined) outstanding as of the Closing Date (herein defined), and it undertakes to make an offer to all owners of Shares of the Company to acquire all of the Shares in exchange for the Purchase Price (as defined below), all on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth; and

WHEREAS, certain shareholders having individual rights to appoint members to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committed Shareholders”) hold Shares representing approximately 45% of the outstanding Shares as of the date of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Committed Shareholders have executed and delivered to the Company and Buyer an undertaking in the form of Annex B hereto (the “Undertaking”) whereby the Committed Shareholders have irrevocably agreed to execute and deliver the Acceptance (as herein defined) to Buyer on the date of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company deems it desirable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders that the Company enter into this Agreement whereby, among other things, all of the Shares of the Company shall be purchased by Buyer in consideration for the payment of the Purchase Price, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
SALE AND PURCHASE

Section 1.01. Offer.

(a) Not later than two (2) Business Days following execution of this Agreement, Buyer will make a written offer to all holders of Shares named in the shareholder register of the Company on the date of this Agreement to sell their Shares to Buyer pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (the “Offer”). Subject to Section 1.01(c) of this Agreement, the Offer will be made in substantially the form of the Notice of Offer attached as Annex C hereto and it will be open for acceptance for a period of 60 days from the date the Notice of Offer is first mailed to the holders of Shares (the “Notice Date”); provided, however, that if Buyer has not received Acceptances (as defined below) representing at least 66²/₃% of the issued and outstanding Shares by the end of such 60-day period, then Buyer may elect to extend the Offer for an additional 30 days (as and if extended, the “Offer Period”). The Company shall inform Buyer of the issuance of any Shares of the Company pursuant to the exercise of any

Option prior to the Closing, and will assist Buyer in delivering the Offer to such former Option Holder such that the Offer will cover all issued and outstanding Shares.

(b) Any holder of Shares of the Company may accept the Offer by executing and delivering the Acceptance attached to the Notice of Offer (the “Acceptance”) to the Company, which Acceptances shall be irrevocable. The Company shall promptly provide copies of all Acceptances to Buyer. Upon acceptance of the Offer, such holder of Shares of the Company shall be deemed an “Accepting Seller” for the purpose of this Agreement.

(c) If the holders of at least 85% of the issued and outstanding Shares (but less than all holders of the Shares of the Company) accept the Offer at any time within two months of the Notice Date, not later than two (2) Business Days following receipt of Acceptances representing at least 85% of the issued and outstanding Shares, Buyer shall send a notice to each holder of Shares of the Company who has not accepted the Offer (a “Dissenting Holder”), informing such Dissenting Holder of Buyer’s intention to require such Dissenting Holder to sell its Shares of the Company to Buyer, on the same terms and conditions as set out in the Notice of Offer and this Agreement, pursuant to Section 341 of the Israeli Companies Law and Article 20(d) of the Company’s Articles of Association (the “Section 341 Notice”); provided, however, that upon receipt of Acceptances representing at least 66²/₃% but less than 85% of the issued and outstanding Shares, Buyer in its sole discretion may elect to send a Section 341 Notice to each Dissenting Holder at any time during the Offer Period. In any event, with Acceptances representing at least 66²/₃% of the issues and outstanding Shares, within two (2) Business Days following the expiration of the Offer Period, Buyer shall send a Section 341 Notice to each Dissenting Holder. The Company shall assist Buyer in the dispatch of the Section 341 Notice to each Dissenting Holder and each Option Holder.

Section 1.02. Sale and Purchase of Securities.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in this Agreement, at the Closing (as defined herein) each Accepting Seller shall sell, transfer and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and accept delivery from each Accepting Seller, all of such Accepting Sellers’ Shares, free and clear of any Liens.

(b) Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in this Agreement, at the Closing Buyer shall acquire good and valid title free and clear of any Liens to all Shares of the Company held by the Dissenting Holders in accordance with Section 341 of the Israeli Companies Law and Article 20(d) of the Company’s Articles of Association (the “Compulsory Acquisition”).

Section 1.03. Purchase Price for Shares of the Company.

(a) The aggregate purchase price for all outstanding Shares shall be One Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($150,000,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”), of which One Hundred Thirty One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($131,250,000.00) shall be paid at the Closing, less Expenses (as defined in 8.05(b)) incurred by the Company after December 31, 2005 and any additional Expenses payable by Sellers pursuant to Section 5.01(b) (the “Closing Payment”). Eighteen Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($18,750,000.00) shall be

placed in escrow pursuant to Section 1.05(d) (the “Escrow Amount”). All references in this Agreement to Dollars or to $ or US$ are to United States Dollars.

(b) The purchase price for each outstanding Share owned by a Seller and acquired by Buyer pursuant to Sections 1.02(a) and (b) of this Agreement shall be derived pursuant to the following formula (rounded to four decimal places) and shall be paid to each Seller as provided in this Agreement:


		Purchase Price per Share = ($150,000,000 + B - E)
		(X+Y)

Where: B equals the aggregate exercise price for all Options outstanding on the date hereof and listed in Schedule 2.04(c) of the Company’s Disclosure Schedule; E equals the Expenses incurred by the Company after December 31, 2005 and any additional Expenses payable by Sellers pursuant to Section 5.01(b); X equals the total number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Closing (without giving effect to any Shares to be issued pursuant to Cashless Exercises of Options at the Closing); and Y equals the aggregate number of Shares issuable pursuant to the Options outstanding immediately prior to the Closing.

(c) At Closing, 87.5% of the Purchase Price per Share shall be paid in cash at Closing (the “Per Share Closing Payment”). The remaining 12.5% of the Purchase Price per Share shall be placed in escrow on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.05(d) (the “Per Share Escrow Payment”) and, subject to the escrow and indemnity provisions hereof, shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement (as defined herein). For the avoidance of doubt: (i) each shareholder shall receive for each Share held the Purchase Price per Share, and (ii) each Optionholder (as hereinafter defined) shall receive for each Share issuable upon exercise of exercisable Options at the Closing the Purchase Price per Share net of the exercise price of such Option.

(d) In no event will the aggregate Per Share Closing Payment and Per Share Escrow Payment payable under this Agreement with respect to all outstanding Shares (including in connection with the Compulsory Acquisition) exceed the Purchase Price. The Company shall deliver to Buyer not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing a list of outstanding Shares of the Company and the record holders thereof as well as a detailed description of the Expenses incurred by the Company since December 31, 2005, and Buyer shall calculate the Per Share Closing Payments and Per Share Escrow Payments and inform the Company and the Sellers’ Representative (or a paying agent designated by the Sellers’ Representative) in writing of the results of such calculation. Buyer and the Company shall agree on such calculation prior to Closing.

Section 1.04. Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx L.L.P., 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days, following the date on which all of the conditions specified in Article VI (other than the conditions which by their terms are only capable of being satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived, unless another time, date and place are agreed to in writing by Buyer and the Company and on such other date the conditions specified in Article VI (other than the conditions

which by their terms are only capable of being satisfied at the Closing) shall have been satisfied or waived. The date of Closing is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

Section 1.05. Closing Transactions. At the Closing, the following events shall occur, each event being (i) conditioned on the occurrence or waiver of each other event and (ii) being deemed to have occurred simultaneously with the other events:

(a) Each Accepting Seller shall tender to Buyer share certificate(s) representing all the issued and outstanding Shares owned by such Accepting Seller together with a share transfer deed representing all such Shares duly executed in favor of Buyer. If any share certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Buyer may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of the Purchase Price to the Accepting Seller selling the Shares represented by such share certificate, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed share certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver an indemnity against any claim that may be made against Buyer or the Company with respect to such share certificate.

(b) All outstanding Options shall be subjected to the Cashless Exercise.

(c) The Company shall deliver to Buyer the shareholders’ register of the Company evidencing the transfer of the Shares (including the shares acquired through the Compulsory Acquisition and the Cashless Exercise) to Buyer or its designee.

(d) Buyer shall pay to the Sellers’ Representative, or a paying agent designated by the Sellers’ Representative and reasonably acceptable to Buyer, the Closing Payment for the benefit of, and distribution to, the Accepting Sellers, Dissenting Holders and Exercising Option Holders (or the trustee of such Exercising Option Holders) and in accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company. Such amount shall be paid in cash in U.S. dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions delivered by the Sellers’ Representative or paying agent to Buyer not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing. The Sellers shall pay any and all charges and Expenses of any paying agent designated by the Sellers’ Representative to act on its behalf in connection with the disbursement of the Closing Payment and such changes and Expenses shall reduce the Closing Payment as provided in Section 1.03(b) of this Agreement.

(e) Buyer shall transfer the Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to XX Xxxxxx Chase Bank (the “Escrow Agent”) to such account or accounts as designated in writing by the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Amount together with all subsequent earnings on investments thereof while deposited with the Escrow Agent shall be referred to as the “Escrow Fund.” The Escrow Fund shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Escrow Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”) between the Escrow Agent, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative.

(f) Buyer shall deliver to the Company, and the Company shall deliver to Buyer, such documents and instruments as shall evidence fulfillment or waiver of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VI of this Agreement.

Section 1.06. Withholding for Payment of Taxes. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Seller,

unless Buyer has received from Seller an exemption from such withholding tax in respect of each such payment to its satisfaction at least five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, such amounts as Buyer in its sole discretion determines that it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of any such payment under any applicable U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax law at the maximum rate for such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Buyer and paid pursuant to any applicable U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax law, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Seller in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Buyer.

Section 1.07. Sellers’ Representative. The Company will provide Buyer with the name of the Person appointed by the Company to serve as the sellers’ representative (the “Sellers’ Representative”), which Sellers’ Representative shall be one of the individuals named in Annex D to this Agreement. From and after the Closing, the Sellers’ Representative (or a paying agent designated by the Sellers’ Representative) shall have full power and authority to receive and disburse the Closing Payment, to the extent distributed by the Escrow Agent to the Sellers’ Representative, the Escrow Amount, among the Sellers in accordance with the schedule of shareholders provided to Buyer pursuant to Section 1.03(d), and the Articles of Association of the Company, to negotiate and sign all amendments to this Agreement and all other documents in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including without limitation the Escrow Agreement and all other instruments called for by this Agreement) and to grant, provide, negotiate and sign all waivers, consents, instructions and authorizations and to take all other actions called for under or contemplated by or that may otherwise be necessary or appropriate in connection with this Agreement or any of the foregoing agreements or instruments and to prosecute, defend and settle in the Sellers’ Representative’s discretion all indemnification disputes (including hiring counsel and other litigation assistance) and to receive all notices, requests and demands that may be made under and pursuant to this Agreement. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Sellers’ Representative in respect of any matter arising under this Agreement. Should the Sellers’ Representative be unable or unwilling to serve or to appoint his successor to serve in his stead, and unless the Sellers’ Representative appoints a successor to serve in his stead, then the Sellers’ Representative shall be designated as provided in Article XV of the Escrow Agreement. All of the costs and expenses incurred by the Sellers’ Representative in connection with this Agreement and the exercise of the authority granted hereunder shall be payable out of the Escrow Fund.

Section 1.08. Certain Transaction Taxes. Sellers shall be responsible for the payment of all transfer, sales, use, registration or other similar Taxes resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

In this regard, at the appropriate time(s) prior to the Closing, in accordance with the terms of the Option Plans (as may be modified to provide for the Cashless Exercise set forth below) and applicable Law, the Company shall take the following steps: (1) provide all notice and exercise rights required to be provided prior to the Closing to the holders of rights to acquire the Company’s Shares under the Option Plans (the “Option Holders”) pursuant to the respective terms of such Option Plans and applicable Laws, (2) obtain the Option Holders’ consent to the termination of all Options and Option Plans to the extent required under the terms of the respective Option Plans and/or applicable Laws or otherwise if deemed appropriate by the Company, and (3) take any and all such other steps as may be required under the terms of the Option Plans and applicable Laws or as the Company shall deem advisable to effect such exercise, cancellation or termination. Any Options that have not been exercised prior to the Closing and where the Purchase Price Per Share (as such amount is calculated pursuant to Section 1.03(b) of this Agreement) exceeds the per Share exercise price shall be subjected to cashless exercise in connection with the Closing (such cashless exercise, the “Cashless Exercise” and all Option Holders who shall have exercised their Options pursuant thereto, the “Exercising Option Holders”). Upon such Cashless Exercise each Option shall be deemed to have been exercised for the number of Shares of the Company covered by such Option with the exercise price under the Option reduced from the Purchase Price Per Share as set forth in Section1.03. Any notices and exercise rights may be made contingent on the occurrence of the Closing and shall apply to the Options to the extent vested under the terms of the Option Plans and any applicable agreements thereunder taking into account the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company further covenants and agrees that it will cause the appropriate Taxes to be withheld and paid (unless appropriate exemptions shall have been obtained by the Option Holder, as established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company and Buyer), and it will comply with all reporting requirements to Governmental Authorities and Option Holders, with regard to any income that may be realized upon the exercise of any and all of the Options. The Company shall cause each Option Plan to be terminated effective as of the Closing Date and immediately following the exercise, termination and/or cancellation of the Options contemplated by the preceding provisions of this paragraph. The Company shall take any such other steps as may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that immediately prior to the Closing the holders of all then outstanding Options shall have exercised their Options on a cashless basis and the only rights of the Option Holders in respect of their Options outstanding immediately prior to the Closing shall be entitled to receive, pursuant to Section 1.03 of this Agreement, the Purchase Price per Share, net of the exercise price, for each Share of the Company isuable pursuant to their Cashless Exercise.

Section 7.02. Defense of Third Party Claims. In addition to the provisions of Section 7.03, the obligations and liabilities of the Company to indemnify any other party under this Article VII with respect to Claims or Damages relating to or arising from third party claims or actions (a “Third Party Claim”), shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Sellers’ Representative or its representatives all records and other materials required by them and in the possession or under the control of the Indemnified Party, for the use of the Sellers’ Representative and its representatives in defending any such Third Party Claim, and shall in other respects give reasonable cooperation in such defense. After the Closing, in any circumstance in which the Company would be the indemnifying party, Sellers’ Representative shall have full authority to act as attorney-in-fact for each of the Sellers’ for whose account Escrow Funds have been deposited pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, all in accordance with Section 7.04 hereof.

(b) If the Sellers’ Representative, within 20 days after notice of any such Third Party Claim (or sooner if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires), fails to agree to defend such Third Party Claim or thereafter fails or ceases to defend such Third Party Claim, actively and in good faith, then the Indemnified Party will (upon further notice) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim, or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect thereto, and the Sellers and the Sellers’ Representative shall thereafter have no right to challenge the Indemnified Party’s defense, compromise or settlement thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Article VII to the contrary (i) if a Third Party Claim could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Indemnified Party other than as a result of money damages or other money payments, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, and (ii) the Sellers’ Representative shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim.

(d) The party controlling the defense of any Third Party Claim shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the other parties copies of all correspondence, pleadings, motions, briefs,

appeals or other written statements relating to or submitted in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim, and timely notices of, and the right to participate in (as an observer) any hearing or other court proceeding relating to the Third Party Claim.

(e) Within two (2) Business Days following final, nonappealable resolution of an Assumed Claim (as defined herein) with the applicable third party to such Assumed Claim (whether through compromise, settlement, the entry of a judgment with respect thereto or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.02, the Sellers’ Representative shall pay (solely by directing delivery of amounts from the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 7.04) the Indemnified Party an amount in cash equal to the amount of Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Assumed Claim, together with interest from the date such Damages were incurred by the Indemnified Party until the date of actual payment, at an annual rate equal to the prime interest rate then generally in effect on the date of payment as set forth in The Wall Street Journal. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Assumed Claim” is (i) a Third Party Claim the defense of which is undertaken by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.02 or (ii) a Third Party Claim the defense of which is undertaken by the Indemnified Party and the resolution of which (whether through compromise, settlement, the entry of a judgment with respect thereto or otherwise) has been consented to in writing by the Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 7.03. Other Claims, Payment. Upon the occurrence of a Claim or Damages (other than an Assumed Claim) for which indemnification is believed by Buyer to be due under this Article VII, the Indemnified Party shall provide notice of such Claim or Damages to the Sellers’ Representative, stating the circumstances giving rise to the Claim or Damages, specifying the amount or the estimated amount of the Claim or Damages and making a request for any payment then believed due. Any such claim for indemnification shall be conclusive against the Sellers in all respects 20 Business Days after receipt by the Sellers’ Representative of such notice, unless within such period the Sellers’ Representative sends the Indemnified Party a notice disputing the propriety of such claim. Such notice of dispute shall describe the basis for such objection and the amount of the claim as to which the Sellers’ Representative does not believe should be subject to indemnification. Upon receipt of any such notice of objection, both the Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution of such dispute within the next 30 days. If a mutually acceptable resolution cannot be reached between the Indemnified Party and the Sellers’ Representative within such 30-day period, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to submit such claim to binding arbitration pursuant to Section 9.10. If it is finally determined that all or a portion of such claim amount is owed to the Indemnified Party, the Sellers’ Representative shall, within two (2) Business Days of such determination, pay (solely by directing delivery of amounts from the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 7.04) the Indemnified Party such amount owed in cash, together with interest from the date that the Indemnified Party initially requested such payment until the date of actual payment, at an annual rate equal to the prime interest rate then generally in effect on the date of payment as set forth in The Wall Street Journal.

Section 7.04. Satisfaction of Claims from the Escrow Fund. After the Closing, any obligations and liabilities of the Company or the Sellers’ Representative to Buyer or any Buyer Affiliate pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement shall be satisfied solely from payments of

amounts from the Escrow Fund to Buyer or such Buyer Affiliate. Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, if the Company or the Sellers’ Representative is determined to owe an amount pursuant to the procedures set forth in Sections 7.02 or 7.03, then the amount due the Indemnified Party hereunder shall be satisfied by the delivery to the Indemnified Party pursuant to the Escrow Agreement of an amount from the Escrow Fund equal to the lesser of: (i) the amount of the claim to be satisfied and (ii) the remaining amount of the Escrow Fund. The Sellers’ Representative shall have the power and authority to make all decisions with regard to the settlement of claims brought pursuant to this Agreement from the Escrow Funds. If the Sellers Representative is unable to carry out his duties as Sellers’ Representative, then unless the Sellers’ Representative shall have named his successor, the Sellers who held the highest number of Shares immediately prior to the Closing shall be designated and appointed as the Sellers’ Representative, as shall assume all of the powers and duties of the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. If any successor Sellers’ Representative becomes unable to carry out his duties as Sellers’ Representative, unless the Sellers’ Representative shall have named his successor, his replacement shall be the Seller who held the next highest number of Shares of the Company immediately prior to the Closing.

Section 7.05. Liability Limitations; Survival of Representations and Warranties.

(a) All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company and Buyer in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing and any investigation thereof; provided, however, that in no event shall any Indemnified Party be permitted to make any claim under Article VII unless such claim is first asserted on or before eighteen (18) months from the Closing. After the Closing, indemnification pursuant to this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties for any breach of this Agreement, except with respect to actual fraud committed by a party hereto. Buyer and Buyer Affiliates shall not be entitled to indemnification for claims under Article VII (other than a claim under Article VII with respect to the representation and warranty contained in Section 2.04 of this Agreement) unless the aggregate amount of all claims under Article VII is in excess of $1,000,000 (and, in such event, Buyer or Buyer Affiliates shall only be entitled indemnification for the amount of such claims which in the aggregate exceed $1,000,000). Buyer and Buyer’s Affiliates shall not be entitled to indemnification for any single claim under Article VII not exceeding $10,000.00, and claims not exceeding $10,000.00 shall not be considered for purposes of determining whether the amount of claims exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate.

(b) Except to the extent that a particular representation, warranty or covenant is qualified in accordance with this Section 7.05(b) by a disclosure contained in the Company Disclosure Schedule, none of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company shall, and Buyer’s ability to claim a breach thereof pursuant to this Article VII shall not, be treated as waived, qualified or otherwise affected by Buyer’s knowledge of any such breach. In order for a disclosure contained in the Company Disclosure Schedule to be deemed to qualify a particular representation, warranty or covenant contained herein, such disclosure must identify by Section number the particular representation, warranty or covenant it is intended to qualify and shall not be deemed to qualify any other representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement.

(c) In no event shall the Company have any liability to Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliates hereunder for punitive, indirect or consequential damages, or damages measured based on loss profits or diminution of value of Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliates.

(d) The obligation of the Company to indemnify an Indemnified Party against any Damages under Article VII shall be (i) reduced to take into account any Tax benefits to be received by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Damages or the underlying reasons therefore, and (ii) reduced by the amount of any recoveries obtained by the Indemnified Party from any Third Party, including any insurance company, in respect of such Damages.

Section 7.06. By Buyer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII, Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and each Seller and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners and controlled and controlling Persons, from and against all Claims and Damages asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by such Person, directly or indirectly, by reason of, arising out of, or resulting from (a) the inaccuracy or breach as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement or (b) the breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) by either Buyer or the Company, if there shall be any Law, order, injunction or decree which is final and nonappealable preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.01(e) shall not be available to any party whose failure or whose Affiliate’s failure to perform any material covenant, agreement or obligation hereunder has been the cause of, or resulted in, such action or event; or

(f) by either Buyer or the Company, if the Closing shall not have occurred within 130 days of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.01(f) shall not be available to any party whose failure or whose Affiliates’ failure to perform any material covenant, agreement or obligation hereunder has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date.

The right of any party hereto to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any party hereto, any Person controlling any such party or any of their respective officers, directors, representatives or agents, whether prior to or after the execution of this Agreement.

Section 8.02. Effect of Termination. Except as provided in Section 8.05 and Section 8.06 of this Agreement, in the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void, there shall be no liability on the part of Buyer or the Company or their respective officers, directors, stockholders, managers or partners and all rights and obligations of any party hereto shall cease, except that nothing herein shall relieve any party of any liability for any and all of the damages suffered by the other party as a result of such breach of such party’s representations, warranties covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 8.05 and 8.06 and Article IX shall survive any termination of this Agreement. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties under the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 8.03. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by Buyer and the Company.

Section 8.04. Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, any party hereto entitled to the benefits thereof may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein.

Section 8.06. Payment Upon Termination.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.01(d) and all of the conditions contained in Sections 6.01 and 6.02 have been satisfied or waived (other than the conditions which by their terms are only capable of being satisfied on the Closing Date), then Buyer agrees to pay the Company, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date on which Buyer has received notice of the Company’s termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(d), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the sum of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) as liquidated damages and with no further liability or obligation to the Company or any Seller. If Buyer fails to pay the Company such amount within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date on which Buyer has received such notice, then the Company shall be entitled to pursue its claim for breach of this Section 8.06(a) in a Court of competent jurisdiction, and if the Company receives a final, nonappealable judgment that Buyer has breached this Section 8.06(a), then Buyer agrees to pay the Company, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date on which the judgment became final and nonappealable, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the sum of Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000.00) as liquidated damages and with no further liability or obligation to the Company or any Seller.

(b) The Company agrees that Section 8.06(a) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and its Affiliates for termination of the Agreement by the Company (or for which the Company could have terminated this Agreement) as a result of any breach of any agreement, representation, warranty or covenant or any other failure by Buyer or its Affiliates to perform or observe any terms, provisions, covenants, arrangements or agreement on their part under this Agreement. The Company shall have no other remedy for any such termination of this Agreement and shall not assert or pursue in any manner, directly or indirectly, any claim or cause of action against the Buyer or Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors based on any such termination other than for breach of this Section 8.06.

(c) If this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.01(c), then the Company will pay Buyer, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date on which the Company has received notice of Buyer’s termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(c), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, a sum of not in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) representing Buyer’s documented Expenses.

Section 9.02. Headings. 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. Section references herein are, unless the context otherwise requires, references to sections of this Agreement.

Section 9.03. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 9.04. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Annexes, the Exhibits and the Company Disclosure Schedule) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties, and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties or between any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 9.05. Assignment. This Agreement shall not be transferred or assigned by Buyer without the consent of the Company or by the Company without the consent of Buyer, except that Buyer may transfer or assign in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of its Affiliates its rights or obligations under this Agreement, but no such transfer or assignment will relieve Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 9.06. Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.07. Specific Performance. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the failure of any party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder, including its failure to take all actions as are necessary on its part to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will cause irreparable injury to the other parties for which damages, even if available, will not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each party hereby consents to the issuance of injunctive relief by any court of competent jurisdiction to compel performance of such party’s obligations and to the granting by any court of the remedy of specific performance of its obligations hereunder.

Section 9.08. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

Section 9.09. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with Israeli Law.

Section 9.10. Dispute Resolution. Except as provided in Section 8.06 of this Agreement, any disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the alleged breach hereof, or in any way relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the relationship between the parties created by this Agreement (hereafter a “Dispute”) shall be finally resolved by three arbitrators in a binding arbitration administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its International Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) then in force. The parties shall each appoint one arbitrator within 20 days of receipt of a notice to arbitrate a Dispute, and within 20 days of the nomination of the second arbitrator the two arbitrators appointed by the parties shall together appoint by mutual agreement the third arbitrator, who shall be the presiding arbitrator. If any appointment is not made within the time allotted by the Rules, then the ICDR shall appoint the arbitrator according to the Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be New York, New York. The arbitration shall be conducted solely in the English language and the award rendered solely in U.S. dollars. If a party refuses to honor its obligations to arbitrate under this Section 9.10, the other party may obtain appropriate relief compelling arbitration in any court having jurisdiction over the refusing party; the order compelling arbitration shall require that the arbitration proceedings take place in New York, New York and in the manner specified herein. For purposes of the preceding sentence, each party hereby expressly submits, and the Sellers’ Representative shall submit (solely in his capacity as the Sellers’ Representative for purposes of claims under this Agreement), to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts residing in the Southern District of New York, and expressly waives any claim of improper venue and any claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum. Each party hereby irrevocably consents, and the Sellers’ Representative shall consent (solely in his capacity as the Sellers’ Representative for purposes of claims under this Agreement), to the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any such suit, action or proceeding by the providing of notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01. Any award of the arbitrators pursuant to the foregoing may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party irrevocably stipulates, and the

Sellers’ Representative shall irrevocably stipulate (solely in his capacity as the Sellers’ Representative for purposes of claims under this Agreement), that this Section 9.10 shall satisfy the requirements for an agreement in writing pursuant to Article II of the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, done at New York on June 10, 1958. Nothing contained in this Section 9.10 shall prevent any party hereto from seeking injunctive relief for any breach of this Agreement in any court that has jurisdiction over the matter that is reasonably necessary to obtain such relief.

Section 9.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The Agreement shall become effective (i) as to Buyer, Guarantor and the Company when all such parties have executed this Agreement, and (ii) as to Accepting Sellers, when any such Accepting Seller has executed and delivered the Acceptance to Buyer.

Section 9.12. Guaranty. Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, as if it were the primary obligor: (1) the payment by Buyer of the Purchase Price; and (2) the performance of the obligations of Buyer (including any of their permitted assignees) set forth herein.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized.
