PROPOSAL THREE
To amend the Company's Articles of Association

Background

The Articles of Association of the Company, requires several amendments due to changes in the Israeli Company law legislation, and due to technical errors in the current articles.
 
 
1.
Section 32.4 permits the Board of Directors to determine matters, which can be voted by proxy card. Section 32.4 does not comply with the Israeli Companies Law due to the amendment in the Section 87 of the Israeli Companies Law, which set an electronic voting system in which any matter can be voted by proxy card, without the limitation to specific issues set in Section 87(a). The proposed change removes the conflict with the amended Section 87.
 
 
2.
A Shareholder is required according to Israeli Companies Law in certain votes on transactions to disclose his/her personal interest. Failure to disclose such interest will invalidate the casted vote of such shareholder and the Company shall not count it. The proposed amendment inserts the requirement to disclose such interest (including in case of voting by proxy) in the Company's Articles of Association as a new Section 32.6.
 
 
3.
Section 40.2 determines the maximum number of directors in each Class. The current number– 3 directors- is not adjusted to the maximum number of directors in the Company – 12 (including 2 external directors). In order to be able to nominate the maximum number of non-external directors (10) there is a need to increase the number in each group to up to 4 directors. Therefore, the shareholders are required to amend section 40.2, by increasing the maximum cap from 3 to 4 directors per class.
 
 
4.
Correction of minor type errors in section 40.4.6.
 
 
5.
The section 44.2 is amended to reflect the requirements of the Israeli Companies Law regarding the composition of the Audit and Remuneration committees due to changes in the legislation.
 
 
6.
Israeli Companies Law permits in Section 271 to provide in the Articles of Association a method of approval of transactions with an Office Holder or a transaction in which an Office Holder has a personal interest (as specified in Section 270(1)), which are in the Company's ordinary course of business, are on market terms and are not likely to substantially influence the profitability of the Company, its assets or its liabilities. It is proposed to permit the audit committee, to approve such transactions without the need for Board of Director's approval, subject to any applicable Law and any relevant stock exchange rule applicable to the Company.

Proposal

Shareholders are being asked to approve the following amendments to the Articles of Association of the Company:
 
1.
Section 32.4 is amended by modifying the number "87(a)" to "87".
 
2.
A new Section 32.6 shall be added as follows:
 
"32.6   Personal Interest in Resolutions
