Under the Israeli Companies Law, 1999 (the “Companies Law”) and the Israeli Securities Law, 1968 (the “Securities Law”), and in accordance with its Articles of Association, the Company may:

3

(i) indemnify an office holder in respect of the following liabilities, payments and expenses incurred for acts performed by him or her as an office holder, following an event, provided that such liabilities, payments and expenses were incurred by such office holder in such office holder’s capacity as an office holder of the Registrant:

(A) a financial obligation imposed on an office holder in favor of another person by a court judgment, including a compromise judgment or an arbitrator’s award approved by a court of law;

(B) reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees, incurred by an office holder as a result of criminal inquiry or an investigation or proceeding instituted against such office holder by a competent authority, which inquiry or investigation or proceeding has ended without the filing of an indictment and without an imposition of financial liability in lieu of a criminal proceeding, or has ended in the imposition of a financial obligation in lieu of a criminal proceeding without the filing of an indictment for an offense that does not require proof of mens rea (criminal intent) or in connection with financial sanction (the phrases “proceeding that has ended without the filing of an indictment” and “financial obligation in lieu of a criminal proceeding” shall have the meanings ascribed to such phrases in Section 260(a)(1a) of the Companies Law);

(C) expenses, including reasonable litigation expenses and legal fees, incurred by an office holder as a result of a proceeding instituted against such office holder in relation to (a) infringements that may impose financial sanction pursuant to the provisions of Chapter H’3 under the Securities Law, (b) administrative infringements pursuant to the provisions of Chapter H’4 under the Securities Law, or (c) infringements pursuant to the provisions of Chapter I’1 under the Securities Law;

(D) reasonable legal expenses, including attorney’s fees, which the office holder incurred or with which the office holder was charged by a court of law, in a proceeding brought against the office holder, by the Registrant or on its behalf or by another person, or in a criminal prosecution in which the office holder was acquitted, or in a criminal prosecution in which the office holder was convicted of an offense that does not require proof of mens rea;

(E) payments to an injured party of infringement under Section 52ND(a)(1)(a) of the Securities Law;

(ii) undertake to indemnify an office holder in advance with respect to: (a) financial obligations as specified in Article 68(b)(i)(A) of the Registrant’s Articles of Association, provided, that the undertaking is limited to categories of events which, in the opinion of the Registrant’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) can be foreseen, based on the Registrant’s actual activities at the time the undertaking to indemnify is given, and in amounts set by the Board as reasonable, and (b) expenses, fees and payments as specified in Sub-Articles 68(b)(i)(B), (C), (D) and (E) of the Registrant’s Articles of Association. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and the Securities Law, the Registrant may also undertake to indemnify an office holder retroactively for expenses, fees and payments as specified in Articles 68(b) of the Registrant’s Articles of Association.

4

Under the Companies Law, exculpation, indemnification and insurance of office holders must be approved by the compensation committee (and in some cases by the audit committee) and the board of directors and, with respect to directors or controlling shareholders, their relatives and third parties in which such controlling shareholders have a personal interest, also by the shareholders.

Under the Companies Law, the term “office holder” may include a director, managing director, general manager, chief business manager, deputy general manager, vice general manager, other managers directly subordinate to the managing director and any other person fulfilling or assuming any such position or responsibility without regard to such person’s title or a manager directly subordinate to the general manager.

Our Articles of Association allow for indemnification of, and procurement of insurance coverage for our office holders to the maximum extent provided for by the Companies Law and the Securities Law. We have entered into an insurance contract for directors and officers in the total amount of $15 million and have procured indemnification insurance for our office holders to the extent permitted by our Articles of Association.

Our Articles of Association also provide that any amendment to the Companies Law or to the Securities Law adversely affecting the Registrant’s office holders’ rights to be indemnified or insured according to Section 68 therein shall be prospective in effect, and shall not affect the Registrant’s obligations or ability to insure or indemnify its office holders for any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, unless otherwise provided by the Companies Law or the Securities Law.

We have entered into an insurance contract for office holders and we have never had the occasion to indemnify any of our office holders and are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation or proceeding involving any our office holders in which indemnification is sought. We also maintain a directors and officers insurance policy.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8

Dear Sirs:

We have acted as Israeli counsel for Pointer Telocation Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) being filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 for the purposes of registering 300,000 of its Ordinary Shares, par value New Israeli Shekel 3.00 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), that may be issued pursuant to options and Restricted Stock United that have been, or may hereafter be, granted pursuant to the Global Share Incentive Plan (2013) (the “Options” and the “Plan”, respectively).

On the basis of such investigation as we have deemed necessary, we are of the opinion that the Ordinary Shares have been duly and validly authorized for issuance (subject to individual grants being properly approved under applicable Israeli law) and, when upon due exercise of Options granted or hereafter granted under the Plan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the related award agreements (including payment of the Option exercise price or purchase price provided for therein), will be fully paid and non-assessable.

We are members of the Israel Bar, and the opinions expressed herein are limited to questions arising under the laws of the State of Israel, and we disclaim any opinion whatsoever with respect to matters governed by the laws of any other jurisdiction.

The opinions set forth herein are made as of the date hereof and are subject to, and may be limited by, future changes in the factual matters set forth herein, and we undertake no duty to advise you of any such changes. The opinions expressed herein are based upon the law in effect (and published or otherwise generally available) on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement these opinions should such law be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,
