The remaining US$3,000,000, which may be invested by third parties selected by the Lead Investor, shall be referred to herein as the “Remaining Investment Amount” and any third party investing all or portion of the Remaining Investment Amount shall be referred to as a “Third Party Investor”.

2.2  The parties agree that each party’s respective Investment in the Company shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the SPA and the other Transaction Documents. The Transaction Documents are attached hereto as Exhibit A.

2.3  Kanir agrees that its investment obligations, as to timing and amounts, shall be pro-rata to the obligations of the Lead Investor according to the SPA.

2.4  If the Lead Investor is given the opportunity by the Company to increase the Investment Amount, the Lead Investor shall promptly notify Kanir, in writing, on such opportunity, and shall give Kanir the option to invest a pro-rata portion of such increase, on the same terms as the Lead Investor, thereby increasing the Kanir Investment Amount.

2.5  In the event that the Lead Investor decides to Dispose to a Third Party Investor any portion of its investment rights with respect to the Remaining Investment Amount (relating to the 2nd and/or 3rd Installment), the Lead Investor shall promptly notify Kanir, in writing, on such decision, and Kanir shall be entitled to participate with the Lead Investor in any such transaction on a pro-rata basis. For example only, if the Lead Investor decides to assign 50% of its rights to invest its respective portion out of the 2nd Installment to a Third Party Investor, Kanir shall have the right to assign 50% of its obligation to invest its respective portion out of the 2nd Installment to such Third Party Investor on the same terms. The procedure of Section 7.2 below shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to this Section 2.5, with the exception that the 21-day period referred to in Section 7.2 below shall be replaced with a 14-day period.

2.6  If the Lead Investor decides not to proceed with the Investment in the Company it shall, subject to the Company’s approval, give Kanir the right to make such Investment.

3.   Board Of Directors
 
3.1  The parties acknowledge that the Proxy Statement includes a resolution increasing the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) to seven (7) members and calls for the approval of a slate of directors that includes four (4) directors proposed by the Lead Investor (such directors, as removed and replaced from time to time, the “Lead Investor Directors”), resulting in the Lead Investor Directors constituting a majority of the Board.

3.2  Kanir acknowledges that, at the date hereof, the fifth seat on the Board (the “Fifth Seat”) is held by a non-independent director appointed by and representing Bank Mizrachi (the “Fifth Director”). The Lead Investor undertakes to use its best efforts to have a representative of Kanir replace the Fifth Director and hold the Fifth Seat.

3.3  If the Lead Investor succeeds in causing the Fifth Director to be replaced by a representative of Kanir (the “Kanir Director”), it is hereby agreed that the Lead Investor shall not be entitled to remove or replace the Kanir Director without Kanir’s prior written approval.

3.4  If the Lead Investor is unsuccessful in replacing the Fifth Director with the Kanir Director within thirty (30) days following the Closing of the SPA, then one of the Lead Investor Directors appointed as stipulated in the Proxy Statement shall resign and the Lead Investor shall appoint in his place the Kanir Director, provided that the identity of the Kanir Director be approved by the Lead Investor (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In this case, except if following the appointment of a Kanir Director the Lead Investor's representative is elected to occupy the Fifth Seat, the Lead Investor shall be entitled to replace and/or remove the Kanir Director appointed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.4 at any time and for any reason.

3.5  If the Kanir Director is removed by the Lead Investor pursuant to Section 3.4 above, the Lead Investor shall use its best efforts and its voting power to have a new Kanir Director elected to occupy the Fifth Seat at the next general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, to be held no later than one (1) year following the Closing of the SPA. If the Lead Investor removes the Kanir Director and the Company’s general meeting appoints a new Kanir Director to occupy the Fifth Seat as stipulated in this Section 3.5, then the Lead Investor shall not be entitled to remove or replace such Kanir Director without the prior written approval of Kanir.

3.6  At such time as there is no Kanir Director appointed to the Board, the Lead Investor shall use its best efforts to cause the Company to appoint a representative of Kanir as an observer to the Board (the “Kanir Observer”) and the Lead Investor Directors shall vote in favor of appointing the Kanir Observer.

3.7  If the Lead Investor is unable to get the Kanir Observer appointed within fourteen (14) days following the Closing of the SPA or within fourteen (14) days from the date that Kanir no longer maintains a seat on the Board, then the Lead Investor shall provide Kanir with all the materials distributed to members of the Board and will invite Kanir to participate in all meetings of the Board, unless the Lead Investor receives an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Kanir to the effect that providing Kanir with the aforementioned materials and/or inviting Kanir to participate in Board meetings of the Company are legally prohibited. The Kanir Observer will not be entitled to vote but will be entitled to review all information, get notifications on and participate in all Board meetings, as if a member of the Board.

6

Shareholders Agreement - Execution Copy
 
3.8  It is agreed that Mr. Menahem Raphael shall serve as the initial Kanir Director.

3.9  Kanir and the Kanir Director or the Kanir Observer, as the case may be, shall execute a standard confidentiality agreement prior to participating in any Board meetings and prior to receiving any confidential information from the Lead Investor.

3.10 Kanir’s entitlement to have a Kanir Director appointed to the Board shall expire in the event that Kanir holds, at any point after the payment of the 3rd Installment, less than five percent (5%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital. Kanir’s entitlement to have a Kanir Observer appointed shall expire in the event that Kanir holds, at any point after the payment of the 3rd Installment, less than three percent (3%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital. In addition to the foregoing, Kanir undertakes to cause the Kanir Director to automatically resign from the Board if Kanir fails to timely make any of the payments due from it to the Company under the SPA.

3.11 Kanir and the Lead Investor undertake to use their voting power in the Company to give effect to the foregoing provisions.

4.   Voting

4.1  Kanir expressly undertakes that, as a shareholder in the Company, it will vote on any and all matters together with the Lead Investor, except for related-party transactions and matters that adversely and disproportionately affect Kanir’s rights and entitlements, as compared to those of the Lead Investor.

4.2  Kanir and the Lead Investor undertake to use their voting power in the Company to cause the Company to enter, as promptly as possible following the Closing of the SPA, into an indemnification agreement with each of the Lead Investor Directors and the Kanir Director and to provide customary Directors and Officers insurance coverage for all of the members of the Board.

5.   Right of First Refusal from the Company

The Lead Investor shall grant Kanir a right to invest in the Company that is pro-rata to the amount the Lead Investor may be entitled to invest in the Company pursuant to Section 4.3 of the SPA.

6.   Lock Up; Restrictions on Transfer and Right of First Offer

6.1   For the purposes of this Agreement, the “50.1% Restriction” means, that the Syndicate (including any Permitted Transferee and any Kanir Transferee) holds Company securities amounting to no less than fifty and one tenth percent (50.1%) of the Company’s outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis, i.e., including the shares underlying the Company’s share option plans and any and all outstanding warrants.

7

Shareholders Agreement - Execution Copy
 
6.2   Lock-Up

6.2.1   Subject to Kanir’s co-sale right set forth in Section 7 below, starting from the Closing of the SPA and ending twenty-four (24) months thereafter (the “Lock-Up Period”), Kanir undertakes to refrain from effecting a Disposition of any of its Kanir Securities then held by it without the prior written consent of the Lead Investor.

6.2.2   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Kanir shall be permitted, without the prior written consent of the Lead Investor, to effect a Disposition of its Kanir Securities to a Permitted Transferee.

6.3     Restrictions on Transfer

   Following the Lock-Up Period, if Kanir desires to effect a Disposition of any Kanir Securities, then subject to the 50.1% Restriction, Kanir shall act according to the following provisions:

6.3.1   If such a Disposition of Kanir Securities is by way of sale to the public on the market (a “Market Sale”), then Kanir shall be obligated to co-ordinate such Market Sale with the Lead Investor (the “Coordinated Market Sale”). In the event of a Coordinated Market Sale, unless, within 10 days from Kanir's notification on its proposed Disposition, the Lead Investor (i) informs Kanir in writing that it wishes to purchase the Kanir Securities at a price per security that is not less than the then market value of the securities, or (ii) agrees otherwise, then the Coordinated Market Sale shall include the Lead Investor Securities together with the Kanir Securities, pro-rated between Kanir and the Lead Investor and on the same terms;

6.3.2   If such a Disposition of Kanir Securities is by way of a sale in a private transaction (a “Private Sale”), then such Disposition shall (i) be subject to the Lead Investor’s right of first offer and co-sale as set forth below; and (ii) not be made to a competitor of the Company; and

6.3.3   Except as stated below, absent the prior written approval of the Lead Investor, Kanir shall not effect a Disposition of an amount of Kanir Securities which exceeds Kanir’s pro-rata portion of the Company securities then available for Disposition by the Syndicate without contravention of the 50.1% Restriction.

6.4  In no event shall Kanir be permitted to effect a Disposition, if such Disposition would result in the Syndicate (including any Permitted Transferee and any Kanir Transferee) contravening the 50.1% Restriction. Kanir shall be released from this limitation after the lapse of four and a half (4.5) years following the Closing of the SPA, provided that, at such time (a) the Company is traded on Nasdaq or on any other stock exchange; and (b) following Kanir’s Disposition, the Syndicate (including any Permitted Transferee and any Kanir Transferee), shall hold at least thirty-eight percent (38%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital, so as to comply with the transfer restrictions placed on the Lead Investor by the Banks (as defined in the SPA) in the framework of the Transaction Documents (the “38% Condition”).

8

Shareholders Agreement - Execution Copy
 
6.5   In the event that (a) Kanir had effected a Disposition of its pro-rata portion of the Company securities available for Disposition by the Syndicate without contravention of the 50.1% Restriction, and (b) after four and a half (4.5) years from the Closing of the SPA the Banks agree to waive the 38% Condition with respect to Dispositions by Kanir of additional Kanir Securities, then Kanir shall be released from the above 38% Condition to the extent agreed to by the Banks. If such Bank’s waiver is conditioned upon the Lead Investor refraining from exercising its co-sale right with respect to such Disposition by Kanir of additional Kanir Securities, the Lead Investor agrees to comply with this condition and refrain from exercising its respective right of co-sale.

6.6   The parties undertake to co-operate in trying to release the Company from the restrictions on Disposition of Company securities placed by the Banks in the framework of the Transaction Documents, including through the refinancing of the Company’s long term debt with the Banks to debt with the same or better terms, provided that any such refinancing is in the Company’s best interests.

6.7  Right of First Offer. Except for (i) Disposition of Kanir Securities and Lead Investor Securities to their respective Permitted Transferees; (ii) Disposition of Kanir Securities and, if applicable, Lead Investor Securities in a Coordinated Market Sale; and (iii) with respect to the Lead Investor, in the event that the Lead Investor decides to Dispose to a Third Party Investor any portion of its investment rights with respect to the Remaining Investment Amount (relating to the 2nd and/or 3rd Installment) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5 above; and subject to the other provisions of this Section 6, if either Kanir or the Lead Investor desire to effect a Disposition of the Kanir Securities or Lead Investor Securities, respectively, then they shall first be obligated to offer such securities to the other. In these circumstances, the party desiring to effect a Disposition (the “Selling Shareholder”) shall give written notice to the other party (the “Offeree”) of its intention to effect a Disposition with respect to such number of its Company securities as permitted according to this Agreement (the “Offered Securities”) and shall include in its notice a minimum price and, if it so desires, other terms it requires be met in order to effect the Disposition of the Offered Securities (the “Sale Notice”). The Offeree shall then have ten (10) days (the “Offeree Response Period”) in which to respond to the Sale Notice by way of indicating the terms, including price, on which the Offeree is willing to acquire the Offered Securities. The Offeree’s response may only be such that meets or exceeds such minimum price, and, if applicable, other terms and conditions (the “Offeree Response”). The Selling Shareholder shall be entitled to effect a Disposition of the Offered Securities to any third party in a transaction which price and terms are better than those designated in the Offeree Response, provided however, that if such Disposition is not consummated within sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of the Offeree Response, then the Selling Shareholder shall be required to sell the Offered Securities to the Offeree according to the terms of the Offeree Response. In the event that the Offeree does not issue an Offeree Response by the end of the Offeree Response Period, then the Selling Shareholder shall be free to effect a Disposition of the Offered Securities for a period of sixty (60) days following the lapse of the Offeree Response Period without having to follow this procedure again. After such 60-day period, any future Disposition shall be subject to this right of first offer procedure. For purposes of all of the above 60-day period, a sale agreement with respect to the Offered Securities, executed by the Selling Shareholder and a third party buyer, together with share transfer deeds executed by the Selling Shareholder and held by a trustee or a third party buyer, shall be considered as a consummated Disposition of such Offered Securities.

7.   Co-Sale

7.1  For so long as the Company is a public company, the securities of which are publicly traded, and except with respect to Dispositions to Permitted Transferees, each party grants the other a co-sale right such that in the event that Kanir or the Lead Investor desire to effect a Disposition of the Kanir Securities or Lead Investor Securities, respectively, to a third party purchaser in a Private Sale (the “Selling Party”), it must give the other party an opportunity to participate in such sale on a pro-rata basis (such pro-rata basis not to exceed a 1:3 ratio) and on identical terms.

7.2  The Selling Party shall give written notice to the other party of the proposed sale and its terms (the “Co-Sale Notice”), which other party shall have twenty-one (21) days following receipt of the Co-Sale Notice (the “Co-Sale Response Period”) to provide the Selling Party with a written notice of exercise or waiver of its co-sale right (the “Exercise Notice” or “Waiver Notice”, as applicable). If the Selling Party receives no Exercise Notice or Waiver Notice by the end of the Co-Sale Response Period, then the other party shall be deemed to have waived its co-sale rights under this Section 7.

7.3  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7, the Lead Investor shall not be entitled to a co-sale right under this Section 7 if Kanir effects a Disposition of its Kanir Securities to a Kanir Transferee.

7.4  If the Company ceases to be a public company and becomes a private company, as such term is defined under the Companies Law, 5759-1999 (hereafter referred to as the Company “Goes Private”), the Lead Investor shall grant Kanir a co-sale right with similar terms to the terms provided in the above sub-sections of this Section 7 and shall not be entitled to any co-sale right from Kanir.

8.   Purchases in Private Transactions

8.1   If any of the parties hereto proposes to enter into a private transaction, for the purchase of additional Company securities, from an unrelated and non-Affiliated shareholder of the Company, the said party shall co-ordinate the said purchase with the other party, such that if requested by the other party, in writing, within 10 days from the proposing party's written notification on its proposed purchase, the coordinated purchase shall be done by the parties pro-rata.

8.2   Nothing herein shall be deemed to commit either party to participate in a private transaction entered into by the other party.

9.   Adverse Event Termination by Kanir

In the event that Kanir decides not to proceed with its investment under similar conditions to the ones provided for the Lead Investor in Section 10.6 of the SPA (‘Adverse Event’), and the Lead Investor nevertheless decides to proceed with its investment, the Lead Investor shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, pay Kanir any amount paid by Kanir as part of the Escrow Amount (as defined in the SPA).

Shareholders Agreement - Execution Copy
 
10.    Management Agreement

The Lead Investor shall pay Kanir its pro-rata share of the excess of any annual amount received by the Lead Investor over US$250,000 pursuant to the Management Agreement and any other fee agreement (the “Additional Management Fees”). Payments to Kanir hereunder, if any, shall be made within twenty-one (21) days following the date on which the Lead Investor received the Additional Management Fees from the Company, or the Lead Investor is deemed to have received same by way of an offset by the Lead Investor vis-à-vis the Company. It is hereby clarified that the Lead Investor’s obligations pursuant to this Section 10 shall not apply to any distributions of dividends or loan repayments to the Lead Investor.

11.   Related Party Transactions

In the event that the Company Goes Private, then for as long as Kanir holds no less than five percent (5%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital, the Lead Investor will not enter into related-party transactions with the Company, without the prior written approval of Kanir, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

12.   Schedule A of the SPA

12A.   Registration Rights

12A.1        The Lead Investor shall include in any registration by the Company of Lead Investor Securities, Kanir Securities, pro-rata. In the event the Lead Investor elects not to exercise its right to participate in a registration pursuant to Section 2 of the Registration Rights Agreement (Incidental Registration) or pursuant to Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement (Demand Registration) (i.e. registration following a demand by a Holder other than the Lead Investor), it shall afford Kanir the opportunity to include all of the Kanir Securities in such registration, subject to, when applicable, the limitations of Section 2.2 of the Registration Rights Agreement.

12A.2        Unless the Kanir Securities have been previously registered, the Lead Investor undertakes to exercise its right to demand registration pursuant to Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement, so that the Company shall file a registration statement with respect to (among others) all of the unregistered Kanir Securities, no later than 365 days following the date of the payment to the Company of the 3rd Installment.

12A.3        In connection with its rights hereunder, Kanir shall comply with all the requirements and undertakings of a Holder under the Registration Rights Agreement, as if a party thereto, including, without limitation, the provisions of Sections 6 (Expenses), 7 (Indemnities), 8 (Cooperation of the Holders), 9.4 and 10 (Furnish Information).

12A.4        The Lead Investor shall promptly provide Kanir with a copy of any written notice or document received from the Company under the Registration Rights Agreement.
