The balance of the Consideration shall be referred to herein as the “Withheld Amount”.
 
2.3 Subsequent Payments.
 
(a)  Interim Installment(s). Subject to Sections 2.3(b) and 2.3(c) below, promptly following each release, if any, of funds from the HP Escrow to the Company pursuant to the HP Agreement (including any amount constituting interest accrued on the escrowed funds), the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, in accordance with their respective Purchaser Proportions, shall transfer an aggregate amount equal to the product of 35.36% of the amount so released, to the respective Sellers in accordance with their respective Seller Proportions. Any amount payable to Sellers pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) or (c), except for any amount paid on account of the interest accrued on the HP Escrow, after making the applicable adjustments pursuant to Section 2.3, shall be increased by 10% of such amount.
 
(b) Price Adjustment. Any interim installment pursuant to Section 2.3(a) above shall be subject to:
 
 
(i)
reduction in the event that any potential receivable of the Company has been finally resolved for an amount (which amount shall include any direct third-party fees and expenses incurred in resolving such matters) less than the amount estimated therefor as set forth in Schedule II; and/or
 
 
(ii)
reduction in the event that any potential liability of the Company has been finally resolved for an amount (which amount shall include any direct third-party fees and expenses incurred in resolving such matters) greater than the amount estimated therefor as set forth in Schedule II; and/or
 
 
(iii)
increase in the event that any potential receivable of the Company has been finally resolved for an amount (which amount shall include any direct third-party fees and expenses incurred in resolving such matters) greater than the amount estimated therefor as set forth in Schedule II; and/or
 
 
(iv)
increase in the event that any potential liability of the Company has been finally resolved for an amount (which amount shall include any direct third-party fees and expenses incurred in resolving such matters) less than the amount estimated therefor as set forth in Schedule II; and/or
 
 
(v)
reduction in the event that the Company suffers any claim, liability, loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) relating to a matter the grounds for which arose prior to the closing under the HP Agreement and that is not contemplated in Schedule II. Any settlement or payment of any such claim, and expenses shall require the prior written approval of the Sellers, which shall not be unreasonably withheld;
 
-3-

provided, however, that in the event that any potential receivable or liability of the Company has not been finally resolved but it has become reasonably foreseeable that it likely will be finally resolved for an amount (which amount shall include any direct third-party fees and expenses incurred in resolving such matters) less than the amount estimated therefor as set forth in Schedule II (in the case of a receivable) or greater than the amount estimated therefor as set forth in Schedule II (in the case of a liability), then the amount payable to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) shall be reduced by an appropriate amount pending the final resolution of such matter and the final payment to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.3(c) below.
 
Any costs and expenses incurred by the Company with respect to its ongoing operations (including, but not limited to employee compensation and business expenses incurred by employees) and any Losses relating to matters the grounds for which arose following the closing of the HP Agreement shall not require a price adjustment.
 
The amount of any such reduction or increase pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) shall be equal to the product of 35.36% of the difference between the final resolution amount (or the reasonably foreseeable amount, as the case may be) and the estimated amount set forth in Schedule II, and the amount of any such reduction pursuant to clause (v) above shall be equal to the product of 35.36% of the applicable Losses. Two or more adjustments pursuant to the foregoing clauses shall be aggregated or offset, as the case may be. The parties shall share all information necessary to determine the adjustments contemplated hereby.
 
(c) Final Payment. Promptly following the final release, if any, of funds from the HP Escrow to the Company pursuant to the HP Agreement, if after making the adjustments contemplated by Section 2.3(b) above, there shall still remain any potential receivables or liabilities of the Company that shall not have been finally resolved, whether or not they have been identified in Schedule II, or constitute potential Losses under Section 2.3(b)(v) above or otherwise, including without limitation, unresolved tax exposures, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to estimate the amounts that the Company would ultimately receive or pay upon final resolution of such matters in order to arrive at a final payment under this Agreement. In the event that the parties are unable to reach an agreement after 30 days following the commencement of negotiations on the matter, then the conflict shall be resolved pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 9 below. In the event that (i) the final tax liabilities relating to the transaction effected pursuant to the HP Agreement exceeds $1,000,000 and (ii) the required adjustment pursuant to Section 2.3 results in an aggregate net reduction of the amount payable to the Sellers that exceeds the Withheld Amount less any amounts paid to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.3, then each Seller, pro rata based on its Seller Proportion, shall promptly pay to the Purchasers, pro rata based on their respective Purchaser Proportions, the aggregate amount of such excess, up to a maximum of $354,000 in the aggregate (which equals 35.36% of the maximum amount of $1,000,000).
 
2.4 Put Option and Call Option.
 
Commencing on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (i) the Sellers, severally, shall have the option to sell their respective Put/Call Warrants to the Purchasers, pro rata based on their respective Purchaser Proportions, at a price of $0.50 per warrant, as set forth on Schedule I hereto (the "Put Option"), and (ii) the Purchasers, severally, pro rata based on their respective Purchaser Proportions, shall have the option to purchase the Put/Call Warrants from the respective Sellers, at a price of $0.80 per warrant, as set forth on Schedule I hereto (the "Call Option"). The Put Option or the Call Option shall be exercisable by written notice to both Purchasers or to all the Sellers, as the case may be, which notice shall be irrevocable. Once such notice has been delivered with respect to any Put/Call Warrants, the corresponding option relating to such Put/Call Warrants shall terminate. For the avoidance of doubt, any exercise by any Seller of the Put Option must give equal treatment to both Purchasers, pro rata based on their respective Purchaser Proportions, and any exercise by any Purchaser of the Call Option must give equal treatment to all Sellers, pro rata based on their respective Seller Proportions. Closing of the Put Option or the Call Option transaction shall be ten Business Days from the date of exercise thereof and shall be conditioned upon the receipt of representations and warranties similar to those set forth in Sections 3 and 4 hereof mutatis mutandis, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects as of the closing date designated for the Put Option or the Call Option transaction. The exercise price per warrant of the Put Option and the Call Option shall be subject to equitable adjustment for stock splits, recombinations and similar events occurring between the date hereof and the exercise date, as well as for any dividends paid by the Company during such period. The Put Option and the Call Option, if either is not exercised prior, shall terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the date on which the Put/Call Warrants have been listed for trade on a stock market. Neither the Put Option nor the Call Option shall be assignable. Nothing herein shall restrict the ability of any Seller to exercise all or a portion of its Put/Call Warrants pursuant to their terms.

The Sellers hereby waive their rights to receive notice of, or participate in, any purchases of shares of the Company under Section 8.1 of the Shareholders’ Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2005, among the Sellers and Kanir Joint Investments (2005) Limited Partnership (the “Shareholders Agreement”).

5.8 Ongoing Cooperation; Confidentiality. Subject to applicable law, the Sellers and the Purchasers shall meet with each other every one or two months to discuss the status of the open matters set forth in Schedule II hereto and shall cooperate with each other in assisting the Company to wind down its affairs that arose prior closing of the transaction contemplated under, or otherwise relating to, the HP Agreement, including without limitation, ongoing relations with HP, paying banks and other creditors, winding up subsidiaries, resolving litigation and finalizing tax matters.

5.9 Severability Among the Purchasers. This Agreement is drafted as one agreement with the Purchasers for the sake of convenience only. However, it is confirmed and agreed that there shall be no joint liability among the Purchasers, and a failure to perform by one Purchaser shall not be attached to the other Purchaser, and that, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Sellers shall not be entitled to rescind or terminate this Agreement as to those Purchasers who have performed their obligations hereunder.

8.3 Third Party Claims. Promptly after the receipt by any of the Sellers or the Purchasers of notice of any claim, action, suit or proceeding by any person or entity who is not a party to this Agreement (collectively, an “Action”) which is subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2 above, as applicable, such party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice of such Action to the party from whom indemnification is claimed (the “Indemnifying Party”). The Indemnified Party’s failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party of any such matter shall not release the Indemnifying Party, in whole or in part, from its obligations to indemnify under this Section 8, except to the extent the Indemnified Party’s failure to so notify actually and materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against such Action. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the sole expense and liability of the Indemnifying Party, to exercise full control of the defense, compromise or settlement of any such Action unless the Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after the giving of such notice by the Indemnified Party, shall: (i) admit in writing to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party’s liability to the Indemnified Party for such Action under the terms of this Section 8; (ii) notify the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s intention to assume the defense thereof; and (iii) retain legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such Action. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the party assuming the defense, compromise or settlement of any such Action in accordance herewith in any manner that such party reasonably may request. If the Indemnifying Party so assumes the defense of any such Action, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (A) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (B) any relief other than the payment of money damages is sought against the Indemnified Party or (C) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, and in any such case the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Action for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Action in which any relief is sought against any Indemnified Party unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant, petitioner or plaintiff, as applicable, to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such Action. It is hereby clarified and agreed that the Indemnifying Party’s admission referred to in clause (i) above of its liability to the Indemnified Party for an Action filed on the grounds set forth in this Section 8.3 shall not be deemed as an admission that any liability exists by the Indemnifying Party toward any party other than toward the Indemnified Party.
 
8.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Sellers and the Purchasers contained in Sections 3 and 4, respectively, shall survive the Closing.
 
SECTION 9.DISPUTE RESOLUTION
 
9.1 General. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures specified in this Section 9, which shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of any such disputes; provided, however, that a party may commence legal proceedings and/or seek interlocutory or other conservatory relief whether for the purpose of protecting that party’s rights under applicable limitation or prescription rules or otherwise. For such purposes, each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tel-Aviv courts, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper.

9.2 Direct Negotiation.
 
(a)  The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this agreement promptly by negotiation between executives.
 
(b)  All negotiations pursuant to this clause are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of confidentiality, evidence and professional secrecy.
 
9.3 Binding Arbitration.
 
(a)  Any controversy or claim not so resolved within 21 days of the commencement of direct negotiations shall be finally settled by arbitration in Israel in accordance with the Israel Arbitration Law, 1968, before a single arbitrator experienced in the disputed matter. The language of the arbitration shall be Hebrew. The arbitrator shall give his reasoned decision in writing, and his decision shall be binding and conclusive on the parties.

If they do not agree on the identity of the arbitrator within an additional seven Business Days, the arbitrator shall be selected by the chairman of the Israeli Society of Certified Public Accountants.

The arbitrator shall apportion the costs of the arbitration as he sees fit, taking into consideration the intent of the parties as set forth herein.
