To the Company’s knowledge, there is no fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other current or former employees of the Company or its Subsidiary who have a role in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company has established and maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications of the “principal executive officer” and the “principal financial officer” of the Company required by Section 302 of the SOX with respect to such reports, and such controls are effective for this purpose. Each of the principal executive officer of the Company and the principal financial officer of the Company (or each former principal executive officer of the Company and each former principal financial officer of the Company, as applicable) has made all certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of SOX and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the Company SEC Reports and the statements contained in such certifications are true and accurate as of the date hereof. The Company has established and maintains “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act) and such internal control over financial reporting is effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

    (a)        As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement (but in no event more than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of this Agreement): (i) each of the Company and Merger Sub shall cause a merger proposal (in the Hebrew language) substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B (a “Merger Proposal”) to be executed in accordance with Section 316 of the Israeli Law; (ii) the Company shall call the Company Shareholders’ Meeting (and prepare and mail to its shareholders a Proxy Statement as set forth in Section 6.1(b) and conduct such meeting as set forth in Section 6.2(a)); and (iii) the Company and Merger Sub shall jointly deliver the Merger Proposals to the Companies Registrar within three (3) days from the calling of such shareholders’ meetings.

Parent shall provide promptly to the Company such information concerning Parent as, in the reasonable judgment of Parent or its counsel, may be required or appropriate for inclusion in the Proxy Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto. The Company will cause all documents that it is responsible for filing with Governmental Entities or other regulatory authorities in connection with the Merger (or as required or appropriate to facilitate the Merger) to comply with all applicable Legal Requirements. Prior to mailing the Proxy Statement or filing any document with the any Governmental Entity or other regulatory authorities in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement as a result of any event or occurrence required to be set forth therein), the Company shall provide Parent (which term shall in all instances in this Section 6.1 also include Parent’s outside legal counsel) with reasonable opportunity to review and comment on each such filing in advance and the Company shall in good faith consider including in such documents and filings all comments reasonably and promptly proposed by Parent.

    (c)        If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, any event or information relating to the Company, or any of its affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by Parent or the Company which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and the Company shall cause an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information to be mailed to the shareholders of the Company.

    (a)       Meeting of Company Shareholders.  The Company will take all action necessary in accordance with Israeli Law, the rules of the NASDAQ, the Company Charter Documents and its Contracts and agreements with its shareholders to duly give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders, promptly following the mailing of the Proxy Statement to such shareholders, for the purpose of considering and taking action with respect to the Company Shareholder Approval (the “Company Shareholders’ Meeting”) to be held as promptly as practicable, and in any event (to the extent permissible under applicable law) within thirty-five (35) days after the mailing of the Proxy Statement to the Company’s shareholders. Subject to Section 6.3(d), the Company will use all reasonable efforts (including by engaging a proxy solicitor, if requested in writing by Parent) to solicit from its shareholders proxies in favor of the Company Shareholder Approval and will take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of its shareholders for the Company Shareholder Approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholders’ Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any necessary supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to its shareholders in advance of a vote on the adoption of this Agreement or, if as of the time for which the Company Shareholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are insufficient Company Ordinary Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such Company Shareholders’ Meeting. The Company shall ensure that the Company Shareholders’ Meeting is called, noticed, convened, held and conducted, and that all proxies solicited by it in connection with the Company Shareholders’ Meeting are solicited in compliance with Israeli Law, the rules of the NASDAQ, the Company Charter Documents, the Company’s Contracts and agreements with its shareholders, and all other applicable Legal Requirements. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the approval and adoption of this Agreement, and the approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (including adjournment of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, if necessary, if a quorum is present, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of adoption and approval of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby), including those matters listed on Section 6.2(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, are the only matters which the Company shall propose to be acted on by the Company’s shareholders at the Company Shareholders’ Meeting.

    (b)       Board Recommendation.

    (a)       No Solicitation. The Company agrees that until the earlier of (i) the termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, and (ii) the Effective Time, except to the extent specifically permitted pursuant to Section 6.3(c) or Section 6.3(d), it shall not, and will cause its Subsidiary not to, permit or authorize any of its or its Subsidiary’s officers, directors (or affiliates of any such officers or directors), employees, affiliates, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, or other agents, advisers or representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly: (A) solicit, initiate, seek, knowingly encourage or facilitate, support or induce any inquiry with respect to, or the making, submission or announcement of, any Alternative Transaction Proposal; (B) participate or otherwise engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any non-public information or grant access to the Company’s books, records or personnel with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Alternative Transaction Proposal; (C) grant any person a waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity security of the Company or its Subsidiary (which provisions the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiary to, use all reasonable efforts to enforce); provided, that immediately upon any violation of this clause (C), Parent shall automatically be released from its standstill obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement without any further action by any party hereto; (D) approve, endorse or recommend any Alternative Transaction Proposal; or (E) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any contract, agreement or commitment (whether binding or not) contemplating or otherwise relating to any Alternative Transaction Proposal or transaction contemplated thereby. The Company will, and will cause its Subsidiary and its and their Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any third parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Alternative Transaction Proposal, and, upon Parent’s request, shall request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to any Person with which the Company, its Subsidiary or its or their Representatives have engaged in any such activities within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date hereof. Any breach of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3(a) by its Subsidiary or its or their Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach by the Company.

    (b)       Notification of Unsolicited Alternative Transaction Proposals.

    (i)        As promptly as practicable (but in no event more than twenty-four (24) hours) after receipt by the Company, its Subsidiary or its or their Representatives of any Alternative Transaction Proposal or any request for non-public information or any expression of interest or inquiry that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Transaction Proposal, the Company shall provide Parent with written notice of (A) the material terms and conditions of such Alternative Transaction Proposal, request, expression of interest or inquiry, (B) the identity of the Person or group making any such Alternative Transaction Proposal, request, expression of interest or inquiry, and (C) a copy of all written materials provided by or on behalf of such Person or group in connection with such Alternative Transaction Proposal, request, expression of interest or inquiry. In addition, the Company shall provide Parent as promptly as practicable with written notice setting forth all such information as is reasonably necessary to keep Parent currently informed in all material respects of the status and details (including substantive modifications or proposed substantive modifications) of any such Alternative Transaction Proposal, request, expression of interest or inquiry (including any negotiations contemplated by Section 6.3(c)(ii)) and shall promptly provide Parent a copy of all written materials (including by e-mail or otherwise in electronic format) subsequently provided by or to it in connection with such Alternative Transaction Proposal, request, expression of interest or inquiry.

    (ii)        The Company shall provide Parent with two (2) Business Days prior notice (or such lesser prior notice as is provided to the members of its Board of Directors) of any meeting of its Board of Directors at which its Board of Directors could reasonably be expected to consider any Alternative Transaction Proposal or any component thereof, including to consider whether such Alternative Transaction Proposal is a Superior Proposal.

    (c)       Superior Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.3(a), in the event that, prior to the time that Company Shareholder Approval has been obtained, the Company receives an unsolicited, bona fide written Alternative Transaction Proposal from a third party which is determined to be, or which the Company’s Board of Directors has in good faith concluded (following the receipt of advice from and consultation with its outside legal counsel and TWP or another financial adviser of national standing in the United States of America) is reasonably likely to become, a Superior Proposal, the Company may then take the following actions, but only if: (i)(A) the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after receiving advice from and consultation with its outside legal counsel, that it is required to do so to comply with its fiduciary obligations to its shareholders under applicable law of the State of Israel, and (B) the Company has given Parent at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice of its intention to take any of the following actions and disclosed to Parent the identity of the Person making such Alternative Transaction Proposal and the material terms and conditions of such Alternative Transaction Proposal; and (ii) the Company shall have previously complied with the provisions of this Section 6.3:

    (ii)        engage in discussions or negotiations with the third party with respect to the Alternative Transaction Proposal.

    (d)       Change of Recommendation. Solely in response to the receipt of a Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors of the Company may make a Change of Recommendation, if all of the following conditions in clauses (i) through (vi) are met:

    (a)       By the Company. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent and Merger Sub in writing of (i) any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate, or any failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) would not be satisfied; (ii) the occurrence of any Material Adverse Effect or any event or occurrence that would reasonably be expected to cause the conditions set forth in Article VII not to be satisfied; and (iii) any claim, action, suit, arbitration, mediation, proceeding or investigation by or before any court, arbitrator or arbitration panel, board or Governmental Entity, initiated by or against it, or known by the Company or its Subsidiary to be threatened against the Company or its Subsidiary, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or shareholders in their capacity as such.

    (b)       Termination of Company Employee Stock Purchase Plans. Prior to the Effective Time, each of the Company Purchase Plans, if any, shall be terminated.
