This proxy, when properly executed, will be voted in the manner directed on the reverse side by the undersigned shareholder.
 
If no direction is made, the proxy will be voted "FOR" Proposal Nos. 1 and 7. If you do not state whether or not you are a controlling shareholder or do not confirm whether or not you have personal interest, your shares will not be voted for Proposal Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5 (with respect to directors affiliated with Kibbutz Sdot-Yam or Tene Investment Fund) and 6.
