warrants. The cash payment and the Warrants will be paid and granted

Two Thousand U.S. Dollars) and the balance in warrants.

Dollars) in cash per year and the balance in warrants, all
pursuant to target in accordance to Section 3.
d) All payables that will not be paid in cash as provided in
Sections 3 (a), (b), and (c), will be paid immediately in
Warrants as detailed above.
e) The Board of Directors, at any time can elect to pay Executive
his compensation (Salary and Bonus) ad in cash instead of cash
and Warrants.
f) After an IPO, or a Change in Parent's Control, as provided in
Section 15 below, all Salary and Bonus will be paid in cash.
g) In the event of termination, before IPO, by Precise or by the
Executive, with or without cause, Executive have the right to
deliver back to the company or Parent all Warrants that were
received based on Sections 3 (a), (b) and (c) in exchange for all

recognizes and acknowledges that in order to
enable Precise to perform services for its clients, those clients may
furnish to Precise confidential information concerning their business

goodwill afforded to Precise depends upon, among other things, Precise
and its Executives keeping such services and information confidential.
All of these materials and information, including that relating to
Precise's systems and Precise's or clients, will be referred to below
as "Propriety Information."
9. NON-DISCLOSURE. Executive agrees that, except as directed by Precise,
and in the ordinary course of Precise's business, Executive will not at
any time, whether during or after Executive's employment with Precise,
disclose to any person, directly or indirectly, for Executive's own
benefit or the benefit of others, any Proprietary Information, or
permit any person to examine or make copies of any documents which may
contain or is derived from Proprietary Information, whether prepared by
Executive or otherwise coming into Executive's possession or control
Executive agrees that the provisions of this paragraph shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and Executive's employment by
Precise.

event upon termination of Executive's employment, Executive shall turn
over to Precise all documents, papers or other material in Executive's
possession or under Executive's control which may contain or be derived
from Proprietary Information, together with all documents, notes or
Executive's work products which are connected with or derived from
Executive's services to Precise and all copies of software obtained
from Precise shall be either returned to Precise or, as appropriate,
permanently deleted.
11. OWNERSHIP. Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to Precise or
its, subsidiaries or affiliates, as appropriate, its successors,
assigns or nominees, Executive's entire right, title and interest in
any developments, designs, patents, inventions and improvements, trade
secrets, trademarks, copyrightable subject matter or proprietary
information which Executive has made or conceived or may make or
conceive, either solely or jointly with others, while providing
services to Precise, or with the use of the time, material or
facilities of Precise or relating to any actual or anticipated
business, research, development, product, service or activity of
Precise known to Executive while employed at Precise, or suggested by
or resulting from any task assigned to Executive or work performed by
Executive for or on behalf of Precise, whether or not such work was
Performed prior to the date of this Agreement.
It is further agreed, that without charge to Precise, but at its
expense, Executive will execute and deliver all such further documents
as may be necessary, including original applications and applications
for renewal extension or reissue of such patents, trademark
registrations or copyright registrations, in any and all countries, to
vest title thereto in Precise, its successors, assigns or nominees.
12. NON-COMPETITION. Executive agrees that because of the confidential and
sensitive nature of the Proprietary Information and because the use of
the Proprietary Information in certain circumstances may cause
irreparable damage to Precise and their reputation, or to clients of
Precise, Executive shall not, until the expiration of one (1) year
after the date on
which Executive's employment with Precise terminates as a result of the
Executive providing written notice of termination as set forth in
Section I hereof, engage, directly or through any corporation or
associates in any business, enterprise or employment which directly
solicits business, performs any services or delivers goods that are
competitive to those of Precise to any customer of Precise. Precise and
Executive agree that this covenant is fair and reasonable; however, in
the event that a court should decline to enforce these provisions,
Executive and Precise agree that the provisions should be modified to
restrict Executive's competition with Precise to the maximum extent
enforceable, but in no event will the covenants be interpreted as more
restrictive to Executive.
13. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. Executive acknowledges that disclosure of any
Proprietary information by Executive or breach by Executive of any of
the covenants not to compete will give rise to irreparable injury to
Precise, or clients of Precise. Executive also agrees that this injury
to Precise, or clients of Precise, would be inadequately compensated in
money damages alone. Accordingly, Precise or, where appropriate the
client of Precise, may seek and obtain injunctive relief against the
breach, or threatened breach of the disclosure of any Proprietary
Information by Executive, or breach by Executive of any of the
covenants not to compete, in addition to any other legal remedies which
may be available. Executive further acknowledges that the enforcement
of a remedy hereunder by way of injunction would not prevent Executive
from earning a reasonable livelihood since Executive's experience and
capabilities would be such that in the event that Executive's
employment with Precise terminates for any reason, Executive will be
able to obtain employment in business activities which are not
restricted by this Agreement.
14. STOCK OPTIONS. After this Agreement is executed, the Board of Directors
of the Parent will grant Executive an option to purchase 1,380,000
shares of Parent (the "Option Shares") of its Series A Ordinary Shares
$.02 NIS par value per share ("Ordinary Shares"), on the following
terms and conditions The exercise price for 50 percent of the Option
Shares (690,000) will be $0.25 per share, and the exercise price for
the remaining 50 percent of the Option Shares (690,000) will be at
$0.69 per share. The Option Shares will be issued under a written
option agreement and will be subject to qualifications and conditions
under all applicable regulations, as well as, for such terms and
conditions not covered herein, under the terms and conditions of
Parent's 1998 Share Option and Incentive Plan. As long as Executive
remains continuously employed by Precise, he will be eligible to
purchase one forth of the Option Shares per year on each anniversary
date, beginning one year after the Effective Date, subject to the terms
and conditions of the written option agreement. Eligibility to purchase
all Option Shares will be accelerated just prior to the consummation of
an Initial Public Offering of any equity securities of Common Stock of
Parent, subject to the underwriters conditions and Executive agrees to
accept such underwriters conditions, or in the event of a Change in
Control as defined below, in the ownership of Parent, with proceeds to
shareholders of not less than $30 million (Twenty Five million U.S.
Dollars), if total proceeds to such shareholders are less than $30
million, only 50 percent of the non-vested Option Shares will be
accelerated and eligible for exercise, all subject to the terms and
conditions of the written option agreement. In case of termination of
the employment of Executive, a pro rata (for the year that the
termination takes place) portion of Option Shares will be eligible to
be exercised.
15. CHANGE IN CONTROL. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Incentive Stock Option Agreement following a Change in
Control of the Parent, as defined in the Parent's 1998 Share Option and
Incentive Plan, the Company will require any successor to assume
expressly and perform this Agreement, failure of the Parent to obtain
such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such
succession shall be a breach of this Agreement. Furthermore, breach of
this Agreement or termination of the employment of Executive by the
successor company within the first 12 months following a Change in
Control shall entitle Executive to a lump sum payment equal to the sum
of (i) the Salary equivalent for (12) months and (ii) the Benefits the
Executive would have received for such (12) months and (iii), the
vesting schedule of the Option Share shall be accelerated so that all

On the last day of the Warrant Period (defined below)
This is to certify that the holder specified below ("Holder") is entitled to

conditions set forth below.
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT
(a) Exercise for Cash. Subject to the provisions hereof, this
Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any one or
more times during the Warrant Period. This Warrant shall be

of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section l(a), the Company
shall issue promptly to the Holder the Ordinary shares to
which the Holder is entitled thereto. Upon receipt by the
Company of the notice of exercise and the Exercise price, the

certificates representing such shares shall not then be
actually delivered to the Holder. The Company shall pay any
and all expenses and documentary stamp taxes that may be
payable in
connection with the issuance of the shares and the preparation
and delivery of share certificates pursuant to this Section I
in the name of the Holder, but shall not pay any taxes payable

sale of this Warrant of the shares by the Holder.
No fractions of shares shall be issued in connection with the exercise
of this Warrant, and the number of shares issued shall be rounded down
to the nearest whole number.
2. RESERVATION OF SHARES: PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS OF HOLDER
The Company hereby agrees that at all times it will maintain and
reserve, free from pre-emptive rights, such number of authorized but
unissued shares so that this Warrant may be exercised without
additional authorization of shares after giving effect to all other
warrants, warrants, convertible securities and other rights to acquire
shares of the Company. The Company Brother agrees that it will not, by
charter amendment or through reorganization, consolidation, merger,
dissolution or sale of assets, or by any other voluntary act avoid or

stipulations or conditions to be observed or performed hereunder by the
Company.
3. EXCHANGE OR LOSS OF WARRANT
This Warrant is exchangeable, upon presentation and surrender hereof at
the principal office of the Company, only in connection with a partial
exercise hereof. The Company shall be under no obligation to issue
replacement warrants for the aggregate number of shares covered hereby
except as described herein. The term "Warrant" as used herein includes
any Warrant or Warrants for which this Warrant may be exchanged. Upon
receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the
case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory
indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant,
if mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of
like tenor and date.
4. ADJUSTMENT
The number of Ordinary Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time or upon exercise as provided in this paragraph 4.
(a) Rights Offer. If the Company's shareholders are offered any
securities whatsoever by a rights issue, neither the Exercise
Price nor the quantity of Warrant Shares will be adjusted,
provided that the Company shall offer identical rights on the
same terms and conditions to the Holder, as if the Holder had
exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the date
of conferring the right to participate in the rights issue.
(b) Consolidation and Division. If the Company consolidates its
Ordinary Shares into shares of greater nominal value, or
subdivides them into shares of lesser nominal value, the
number of Warrant Shares to be allotted on exercise of this
Warrant after such consolidation or subdivision will be
reduced or increased, as the case may be.
(c) Bonus Shares. In the event of a distribution of bonus shares
prior to the end of the Warrant Period, this Warrant shall
represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of
Warrant Shares indicated in the caption of this Warrant, and
without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the
amount of such bonus shares to which the Holder hereof would
have been entitled had this Warrant been exercised prior to
the distribution of the bonus shares.
(d) Share Swap. Insofar as the Company is party to a share swap
agreement or arrangement (such as a merger or
reorganization)(the "share swap"), in which an offer is made
to the Company's shareholders to swap their shares for
securities of some other corporation, the Company shall
require the other corporation to undertake to allot to the
Holder, upon the exercise of this Warrant, such securities as
were swapped for the shares of the Company, as though the
Holder had held the Warrant Shares on the record date of the
share swap.
5. NOTICE
Whenever the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable is adjusted as provided in paragraph 4 hereof, the Company
shall promptly compute such adjustment and mail to the Holder at the
last address provided to the Company in writing a certificate, signed
by a principal financial officer of the Company, setting forth the
number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable and the
Exercise Price as a result of such adjustment, a brief statement of the
facts requiring such adjustment and the computation thereof and when
such adjustment has or will become effective.

the Holder, the Holder will be entitled to specific
performance of the obligations hereunder, and injunctive
relief against actual or threatened violations of the
obligations of any person subject to, this Warrant.
(b) The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any
rights of a shareholder in the Company.
7. TERMINATION
This Warrant and the rights conferred hereby shall terminate on the
earliest of the expiration of the Warrant Period, the date of exercise
of this Warrant, or on the tenth anniversary hereof.
8. LIMITATION ON TRANSFER
The transfer of this Warrant may be restricted by the provisions of the
Articles of Association of the Company.
9. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
This Warrant shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with,
the laws of the State of Israel, without giving effect to the rules
respecting conflict of law, and the parties hereto irrevocably submit
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Israel in respect of any
dispute or matter arising out of or connected with this Warrant.
