PROPOSAL ONE
 
APPROVAL OF AN AGREEMENT WITH A. SHERATZKY AND MR. IZZY SHERATZKY

Background
 
Mr. Izzy Shertazky is a co-founder of the Company and has served as the Chairman of our Board of Directors, which in our company constitutes both an officer and director position, ever since our company was acquired from Tadiran in 1995. Until 2003, Mr. Sheratzky also served as our Chief Executive Officer.
 
In February 2003, the Company entered into a two-year services agreement with A. Sheratzky Holdings, a company controlled by Izzy Sheratzky, and Izzy Sheratzky pursuant to which Mr. Sheratzky agreed to (i) cease to act as our Chief Executive Officer and (ii) to act as an independent contractor that provides us with various services as detailed in the agreement and also continue to serve as the chairman of our Board of  Directors, under the same terms of his previous employment as Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the agreement, A. Sheratzky Holdings will receive compensation equal to NIS 63,250 (plus VAT), or approximately $18,000, per month, adjusted for inflation, and linked to the Israeli CPI published on January 30, 2003, plus reimbursement of certain business expenses. In addition, Mr. Sheratzky will be entitled to participate in our profits in an amount equal to 5% of profits before tax, on a consolidated basis, based on our audited consolidated financial statements for the relevant year. This services agreement is automatically renewable for successive two-year periods until either party notifies the other of its intention to terminate the agreement, by providing a 180-day prior written notice. The aggregate amounts paid to A. Sheratzky under the agreement in each of the years 2009 and 2010 were NIS 6,292,000 or approximately $1,800,000, and NIS 7,501,000 or approximately $2,143,000, respectively. Shareholders are referred to Exhibit 10.22 of the Company's registration statement on Form F-1 for convenience translation into English of the agreement.
 
Recent amendments to the Law, require that an extraordinary transaction between a company and a controlling shareholder or between a company and a third party that a controlling shareholder has a personal interest in such transaction as well as an engagement by a public company of the controlling shareholder or his relative, directly or indirectly, including through a company in his control, for services by the company and if he is an office holder in the company - for the terms of his employment and tenure, which is for a term exceeding three (3) years, require the approval of our audit committee, board of directors and general meeting (with a special majority vote at the general meeting), subject to certain exceptions (the "New Companies Law Requirements").

Whereas, the term of the agreement with Mr. Sheratzky exceeds three years, shareholders are being asked to approve the agreement including an addendum to the agreement that if Mr. Sheratzky shall not serve as chairman of our board, he shall continue to provide the services under the terms of the agreement during the term of the agreement. The addendum no. 1 further clarifies and expands on the services expected from Mr. Sheratzky in his role. A convenience translation into English of the addendum is attached as Exhibit A to this proxy statement.       
 
Proposal

Shareholders are being asked to approve the agreement dated February 1, 2003 between the Company, A. Sheratzky Holdings Ltd. and Mr. Izzy Sheratzky as amended by Addendum no. 1.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting and voting thereat is necessary for the approval of this matter, provided that either (a) such majority includes at least one-third of the shares of the voting shareholders who have no personal interest in the matter; or (b) the total of opposition votes among the shareholders who have no personal interest in the matter does not exceed 1% of the aggregate voting rights in the Company. Abstentions are not counted.

Board Recommendation

Following the approval of our audit committee, the Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the agreement between the Company, Izzy Sheratzky and A. Sheratzky Holding Ltd. as amended by Addendum no. 1.

The Board recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR" the proposal based on the following considerations:

Mr. Sheratzky has been granting the services to the Company for approximately 16 years and has extensive and rich experience and knowledge, reputation among the Company's major customers, including insurance companies and well established business connections that are important to the Company. Mr. Sheratzky has led the Company to impressive achievements and preserve its excellent reputation as a leading company in its field of operation.

The terms of engagement of Mr. Sheratzky are identical to the term of engagement which he received to date and the variable component of his entitlement to an annual bonus has not changed since the foundation of the Company and in fact was not paid during the first years of operations of the Company. Considering his role, responsibilities and contribution to the Company's success, the remuneration to which Mr. Sheratzky is entitled under the agreement is reasonable, customary and appropriate, especially in light of the Company's financial condition and long term goals after taking into consideration remuneration paid by other public companies in Israel to employees granting similar services to the services granted under the agreement. The Board believes that the continued engagement of Mr. Sheratzky under the agreement is in the best interests of the Company.

APPROVAL OF INDEMNITY DEEDS OF UNDERTAKINGS TO OFFICE HOLDERS

Background

 On August 24, 2005 our audit committee and board of directors approved the grant of indemnity undertakings towards our office holders in respect of acts performed by them in their capacity as our directors and officers. Our shareholders approved such indemnity deeds on September 15, 2005. Whereas, such indemnification undertakings were signed also with shareholders deemed controlling shareholders for the purposes of Section 268 of the Law and their relatives and are not limited in time, i.e. extend for a period of over three years, under the New Companies Law Requirements, such undertakings towards such persons require the approval of our audit committee, board of directors and shareholders once every three years. The form of indemnity deed was which approved by our shareholders on September 15, 2005 is attached hereto as Exhibit E.

Proposal

Shareholders are being asked to approve the indemnity deeds of undertaking signed by the Company towards directors and officers who are deemed controlling shareholders and their relatives, for the purposes of Section 268 of the Law.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting and voting thereat is necessary for the approval of this matter, provided that either (a) such majority includes at least one-third of the shares of the voting shareholders who have no personal interest in the matter; or (b) the total of opposition votes among the shareholders who have no personal interest in the matter does not exceed 1% of the aggregate voting rights in the Company. Abstentions are not counted.

Board Recommendation

Following the approval of our audit committee, the Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the indemnity undertaking deeds signed by the Company towards all directors and officers who are deemed controlling shareholders and their relatives, for the purposes of Section 268 of the Law.
 
The Board recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR" the proposal based on the following considerations:

The grant of an indemnity deed of undertaking to directors and office holders by public companies in Israel is customary; the undertaking of the Company pursuant to the deed was limited to the types of events as specified therein. In addition, the indemnity under the deed was limited to 25% of the capital of the Company which is customary maximum amount for Israeli public companies; the grant of indemnity is in the best interests of the Company as it allows directors and officers to fulfill their roles appropriately considering the liability imposed on office holders under the applicable laws and the form of indemnity deed is identical to the form approved by our shareholders on September 15, 2005.
