2.7 Company Options.

(a) Company Options.

(i) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of Company Options, the portion of each outstanding Company Option that is unvested and unexercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time (an “Unvested Company Option”) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive an amount of cash by the holder of such Unvested Company Option determined by multiplying (1) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Amount over the applicable per share exercise price of such Unvested Company Option, by (2) the number of Company Shares subject to such Unvested Company Option (the “Unvested Option Consideration”). The Unvested Option Consideration will be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including vesting restrictions and continued service requirements (collectively, the “Continuing Obligations”), except for administrative changes that are not adverse to the holder of the Unvested Company Option or to which the holder consents. Payment of the Unvested Option Consideration in respect of an Unvested Company Option shall be made, subject to such terms and conditions, on the vesting dates applicable to the Unvested Company Option as described in this clause (i) and in accordance with, and subject to the provisions of, clause (iii), and shall be further subject to all applicable deductions and withholdings required by Law to be withheld in respect of such payment.

(ii) At the Effective Time, the portion of each outstanding Company Option that is vested and exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Vested Company Option”) shall in each case be canceled at the Effective Time and shall be converted automatically into the right to receive, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest thereon, determined by multiplying (1) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Amount over the applicable exercise price of such Vested Company Option, by (2) the number of Company Shares subject to such Vested Company Option (after giving effect to any acceleration provided under the applicable stock option agreement) (the “Vested Option Consideration”). Payment of such Vested Option Consideration shall be subject to all applicable deductions and withholdings required by Law to be withheld in respect of such payment.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Parent shall, within three (3) days following the Effective Time, deliver: (A) the consideration payable in respect of any Company Option granted under the capital gains route of Section 102 and held by the 102 Trustee, including any Unvested Option Consideration in respect of Company Options so granted (the “Section 102 Option Consideration”), to the 102 Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 102 and the Israeli Option Tax Ruling, if obtained, to be held and released in accordance with the agreement with the 102 Trustee, applicable Law (including the provisions of Section 102, including the lapse of the minimum trust period required by Section 102 (the “102 Trust Period”)) and the Israeli Option Tax Ruling, if obtained (or any other approval from the Israeli Tax Authority received either by the Company or Parent), and (B) any consideration payable in respect of any Company Option that is not Section 102 Company Option Consideration (the “Non-Section 102 Option Consideration”), directly to the applicable Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The 102 Trustee and the applicable Company’s foreign subsidiaries shall be entitled to withhold any amounts required in accordance with applicable Law and the Israeli Option Tax Ruling, if obtained (or any other approval from the Israeli Tax Authority received either by the Company or Parent). Subject to the following restrictions, Parent shall procure that the 102 Trustee and the applicable Company’s foreign subsidiaries shall pay the Section 102 Option Consideration and the Non-Section 102 Option Consideration to the relevant holder of the Company Options as soon as practicable, unless the relevant holder of Company Options instructs or agrees otherwise. With regard to Unvested Option Consideration, the net amount, without interest and after deduction and withholding of all applicable deductions and withholdings, which is payable to a particular holder of Unvested Company Options, shall only be paid by the 102 Trustee or the applicable Company’s foreign subsidiaries (on behalf of the Surviving Corporation) to such holder if such holder continues to meet the Continuing Obligations through the applicable vesting date, and such net amount shall not be paid by the 102 Trustee or the applicable Company’s foreign subsidiaries (on behalf of the Surviving Corporation) to such holder prior to the later of: (i) the applicable vesting date, and (ii) in the case of any amount of Section 102 Option Consideration only, the lapse of the applicable 102 Trust Period. In the event that such a holder does not continue to meet the Continuing Obligations through the applicable vesting date, the Surviving Company may demand that the net amount be refunded to it by the 102 Trustee (with respect to any amount of Section 102 Option Consideration) or by the relevant Company's foreign subsidiaries (with respect to any amount of Non-Section 102 Option Consideration), as applicable, and the Surviving Company may request, from the relevant tax authority, a refund of any taxes which were then-previously deducted or withheld with respect to such holder's entitlement to receive such holder’s portion of the Unvested Option Consideration. Following the Effective Time, Parent may designate and change the 102 Trustee, in its sole discretion, in accordance with applicable Law (including the provisions of Section 102) and the Israeli Tax Authority’s consent.

(iv) The Company Board and any applicable committee thereof shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary to provide for the treatment described in clauses (i) and (ii), including a resolution to the effect that the Company Option Plans permit the treatment described in clause (i) without automatic vesting (other than vesting provided pursuant to an optionee’s option agreement) and, accordingly, that Unvested Company Options will not automatically vest and will instead be subject to the treatment described in clause (i).

(v) As soon as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants, in coordination with Parent, to prepare and file with the Israeli Tax Authority an application for a ruling in relation to the payment to be made in connection with the conversion of Company Options into the right to receive cash as described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, which will provide, among other things that (1) the payments made in respect of Company Options granted under the capital gains route of Section 102 and held by the 102 Trustee and Company Shares issued upon exercise of such Company Options, shall not constitute a violation of Section 102 if deposited with the 102 Trustee and released only after the lapse of the 102 Trust Period, and (2) payments made to the 102 Trustee under this Agreement shall not be subject to withholding of Israeli Tax (which ruling may be subject to customary conditions regularly associated with such a ruling) (the “Israeli Option Tax Ruling”). Each of the Company and Parent shall cause their respective Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants to coordinate all activities, and to cooperate with each other, with respect to the preparation and filing of such application and in the preparation of any written or oral submissions that may be necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Israeli Option Tax Ruling. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to obtain the Israeli Option Tax Ruling, as promptly as practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the final text of the Israeli Option Tax Ruling or the Interim Option Ruling shall in all circumstances be subject to the prior written confirmation of Parent or its counsel, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed.

If the Israeli Option Tax Ruling is not granted by the tenth (10th) Business Day prior to the Closing, and Parent determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it is unlikely that the Israeli Option Tax Ruling will be granted prior to the Closing, the Company shall seek to receive prior to the Closing an interim Tax ruling confirming that payments made to the 102 Trustee under this Agreement shall not be subject to withholding of Israeli Tax (the “Interim Option Ruling”). In the event that neither the Israeli Option Tax Ruling nor the Interim Option Ruling has been received by the fifteenth (15th) calendar day of the month following the month during which the payments become due and payable, Parent, Paying Agent, the Trustee or the Surviving Company may make such payments and withhold any applicable Israeli Taxes in accordance with applicable Law. To the extent that prior to the Closing the Interim Option Ruling shall have been obtained, then all references herein to the Israeli Option Tax Ruling shall be deemed to refer to such interim ruling, until such time that a final definitive Israeli Option Tax Ruling is obtained.

(b) Company Warrants. The Company Board shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required (subject at all times to the terms of the applicable warrant instrument(s)) to provide that, at the Effective Time, unless the holder of such Company Warrant otherwise directs, each outstanding Company Warrant shall be canceled and be converted automatically into the right to receive, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time and in any event within five (5) Business Days of the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest thereon, determined by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Amount over the applicable exercise price of such Company Warrants, by (ii) the number of Company Shares subject to such Company Warrants (the “Warrant Consideration”). Payment of the Warrant Consideration shall be subject to all applicable deductions and withholdings required by Law to be withheld in respect of such payment. No Company Warrants shall be assumed by Parent.

2.8 Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (a) all holders of certificates representing Company Shares and all holders of Book Entry Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of the Company, and (b) the share transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such Company Shares shall be made on such share transfer books after the Effective Time other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any Company Shares (a “Company Share Certificate”) is presented to the Paying Agent or to the Surviving Company or Parent, such Company Share Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 2.6.

2.9 Payment Procedures.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall select a reputable bank or trust company, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to act as paying agent in the Merger (the “Paying Agent”). At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Paying Agent cash in an amount (the “Pre-closing Amount”) sufficient, together with the amount in cash to be deposited with the Paying Agent following the Effective Time pursuant to the immediately succeeding sentence, to pay the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the holders of Company Shares and the aggregate amount of the Warrant Consideration payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the holders of Company Warrants. Within two (2) days after the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause the Surviving Company to deposit, with the Paying Agent cash in an amount not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the sum of the Merger Consideration and the Warrant Consideration. The cash amount so deposited with the Paying Agent is referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” In the event that the Exchange Fund is insufficient to make the payments contemplated by this Agreement, Parent shall promptly deposit additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to such deficiency. The Exchange Fund will not be used for any purpose other than as expressly set out in this Agreement.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event no later than the third (3rd) Business Day thereafter, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to the record holders of Company Shares as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, including any record holder of Company Warrants outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether such Company Shares are represented by Company Share Certificates, Book-Entry Shares or Company Warrants Certificates) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Parent may reasonably specify (which shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company (prior to the Closing) and shall be submitted to the Company for review at least five (5) Business Days before Parent’s bona fide estimation of the date of the Closing Date and shall include a provision confirming that delivery of Company Share Certificates, Book-Entry Shares or Company Warrants shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Company Share Certificates, Book-Entry Shares or Company Warrants shall pass, only upon delivery of such Company Share Certificates, Book-Entry Shares or Company Warrants to the Paying Agent), (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Company Share Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.6 for the number of Company Shares previously represented by such Company Share Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, or the surrender of the Company Warrants in exchange for the Warrant Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.7(b) for the number of Company Shares issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrants, in each case together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Paying Agent or Parent, and (iii) a form of declaration in which the beneficial owner of Company Shares underlying a Company Share Certificate, Book-Entry Shares or Company Warrants provides certain information necessary for Parent to determine whether any amounts need to be withheld from the consideration payable to such beneficial owner pursuant to the terms of the Israeli Tax Ordinance (in each case, subject to the terms of the Withholding Tax Ruling, if obtained) (the “Withholding Tax Declaration”). Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.9, all Company Share Certificates, Book-Entry Shares or Company Warrants shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.6 or Section 2.7(b) (subject to any applicable withholding Tax) as contemplated by Section 2.6 or Section 2.7(b). If any Company Share Certificate or Company Warrants Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition to the payment of the consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.6 or Section 2.7(b), require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Share Certificate or Company Warrants Certificates to provide an appropriate affidavit of loss (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent) and to deliver a bond (in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Company with respect to such Company Share Certificate or Company Warrants Certificates.

(c) Upon surrender of a Company Share Certificate or Company Warrants (or affidavit of loss and bond as indemnity, in lieu thereof, or, in the case of a Book-Entry Share, receipt of an ‘agents message’ by the Paying Agent, it being understood that any references herein to Company Share Certificates shall be deemed to include references to book-entry account statements relating to the ownership of Book-Entry Shares, provided that the holders of any Book-Entry Shares shall not be required to surrender any Certificates in connection with the procedures set forth in this Section 2) for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with a letter of transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions, and the Withholding Tax Declaration, the holder of such Company Share Certificate, Book-Entry Share or Company Warrants shall be entitled to receive the consideration, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding Tax (calculated and withheld in accordance with Section 2.10), in exchange therefor pursuant to Section 2.6 or Section 2.7(b), to be mailed (or made available for collection by hand if so elected by the surrendering holder) promptly and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the later to occur of (i) the Paying Agent’s receipt of the Exchange Fund, and (ii) the Paying Agent’s receipt of such Company Share Certificate (or affidavit of loss and bond as indemnity in lieu thereof), Book-Entry Share or Company Warrants (or affidavit of loss and bond as indemnity in lieu thereof), and the Company Share Certificate, Book-Entry Share or Company Warrants so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled within five (5) Business Days.

(d) If payment of any consideration is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name the surrendered Company Share Certificate, Book-Entry Share or Company Warrants is registered or whose name appears on the records of a nominee company (Chevra Le’Rishumim) in accordance with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal, it shall be a condition of payment that (i) the Company Share Certificate, Book-Entry Share or Company Warrants so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and reasonably satisfactory to Parent, and (ii) the person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of any consideration to a person other than the registered holder of such Company Share Certificate (or affidavit of loss and bond as required pursuant to Section 2.9(b) above), Book-Entry Share or Company Warrants (or affidavit of loss and bond as required pursuant to Section 2.9(b) above) surrendered or shall have established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation, that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable.

(e) No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of the holders of the Company Share Certificates, Book-Entry Shares or Company Warrants on the consideration payable to such holders pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Company Share Certificates, Book-Entry Shares or Company Warrants as of the first anniversary of the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Company Share Certificates, Book-Entry Shares or Company Warrants who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Share Certificates, Book-Entry Shares or Company Warrants in accordance with this Section 2.9 shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of any consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.6 or Section 2.7(b). Subject to Section 2.9(g), if, at any time after any portion of the Exchange Fund has been delivered to Parent, Company Share Certificates, Book-Entry Shares or Company Warrants are presented to Parent or the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2 and Parent and the Surviving Corporation, to the extent required by this Section 2, shall make the payments to the holder of such Company Shares or Company Warrants as set out in this Section 2.9. Parent shall be the owner of any interest or other amounts earned on the Exchange Fund.

(g) Neither Parent nor the Surviving Company shall be liable to any holder or former holder of Company Shares or to any other person with respect to any Per Share Amount or Warrant Consideration delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property Law, escheat Law or similar Law. In the event that this Agreement is terminated prior to the Effective Time for any reason and any cash has been transmitted to the Paying Agent, such cash transmitted by Parent shall promptly be returned to Parent and such cash shall promptly be returned to Parent. If any Company Share Certificate, Book-Entry Share or Company Warrants has not been surrendered before five (5) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date on which any consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority), any Per Share Amount, any Warrant Consideration, dividends or distributions in respect of such Company Share Certificate, Book-Entry Share or Company Warrants shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(h) Parent may cause the Paying Agent to invest the Exchange Fund deposited with the Paying Agent as directed by Parent; provided, however, that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect any right of any holder of Company Shares or Company Warrants to receive the consideration payable hereunder or any payment therefrom and that the terms and conditions of the investments shall be such as to permit the Paying Agent to make prompt payments as necessary. Parent may cause the Paying Agent to pay over to the Surviving Company, Parent or one of its non-U.S. affiliates of Parent any net earnings with respect to the investments, and Parent through one of its non-U.S. affiliates shall replace promptly any portion of the cash that the Paying Agent loses through investments so that the Exchange Fund is at all times sufficient to make all payments that may be required hereunder.

2.10 Withholding Rights.

(a) Each of Merger Sub, Parent, the Surviving Company or the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to Article 2 to any holder of Company Shares or Company Warrants such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, Israeli Tax Ordinance or any other applicable state, Israeli, or foreign Tax Law; provided, however, that in the event any holder of record of Company Shares or Company Warrants provides Parent or the Surviving Company with a valid approval or ruling issued by the applicable Governmental Authority regarding the withholding (or exemption from withholding) of Israeli Tax from the aggregate consideration payable to such holder in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent (“Valid Certificate”), then the deduction and withholding of any amounts under the Israeli Tax Ordinance or any other provision of Israeli Law, if any, from the aggregate consideration payable to such holder shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such approval or ruling. For such purpose, the Withholding Tax Ruling and the Israeli Option Tax Ruling will be considered a Valid Certificate. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Company Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants, in coordination with Parent, to prepare and file with the Israeli Tax Authority an application for a ruling with respect to holders of Company Shares (other than Company Shares subject to Section 102) (i) exempting Merger Sub, Parent, the Surviving Company and the Paying Agent from any obligation to withhold Israeli Tax at source from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, or clarifying that no such obligation exists, or (ii) clearly instructing Merger Sub, Parent, the Surviving Company and the Paying Agent how such withholding at source is to be executed, and in particular, with respect to the classes or categories of holders or former holders of the Company Shares from which Tax is to be withheld (if any), the rate or rates of withholding to be applied and how to identify each holder (the “Withholding Tax Ruling”). To the extent that prior to the Closing an interim Withholding Tax Ruling shall have been obtained, then all references herein to the Withholding Tax Ruling shall be deemed to refer to such interim ruling, until such time that a final definitive Withholding Tax Ruling is obtained. In the event that neither the Withholding Tax Ruling nor the interim Withholding Tax Ruling has been obtained by the fifteenth (15th) calendar day of the month following the month during which the Effective Time occurs and the time the relevant payment is made, Merger Sub, Parent, the Surviving Company and the Paying Agent may make such payments and withhold any applicable Israeli Taxes in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 2.10(a) above, with respect to non-Israeli resident holders of Company Options or of shares deriving from the exercise of Company Options, which were granted such awards in consideration for work or services performed outside of Israel (and will provide Parent prior to any payment to them with an appropriate executed declaration regarding their non-Israeli residence and confirmation that they were granted such awards in consideration for work or services preformed outside of Israel), such payments shall not be subject to any withholding or deduction of Israeli Tax.

2.11 Further Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall consider or be advised that any further deeds, assignments or assurances in Law or any other acts are necessary or desirable to (a) vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Company its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company, or (b) otherwise carry out the provisions of this Agreement, the Company and its officers and directors shall be deemed to have granted to the Surviving Company an irrevocable power of attorney to execute and deliver all such deeds, assignments or assurances in Law and to take all acts necessary, proper or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm title to and possession of such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Company and otherwise to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, and the officers and directors of the Surviving Company are authorized in the name of the Company or otherwise to take any and all such action.

(i) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that failing to take such Specified Action would result in a breach by the Company Board of its fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders under applicable Law;

(ii) the Company Board shall have determined that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal (a “Designated Superior Proposal”);

(iii) the Company Board shall have provided written notice to Parent that it intends to take a Specified Action in response to such Designated Superior Proposal (a “Notice of Designated Superior Proposal”), which notice shall attach the most current form or draft of any written agreement providing for the transaction contemplated by such Designated Superior Proposal; and

(iv) Parent shall not have made, during the period commencing upon its receipt of such Notice of Designated Superior Proposal and ending five (5) Business Days thereafter (the “Matching Period”), an offer or proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, is at least as favorable, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of the Company as such Designated Superior Proposal.

During the Matching Period, the Company and its Representatives shall meet with Parent and negotiate in good faith with respect to any revisions to this Agreement Parent may propose.

(d) The Company immediately shall on the date hereof, and shall cause its Representatives immediately to, cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any Third Parties (other than Parent and its Representatives) that may be ongoing with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and shall immediately request the return of all confidential information regarding the Company provided to any such party prior to the date of this Agreement.

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing to its shareholder a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided that neither the Company nor the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall, except as permitted by Sections 6.2(b) and 6.2(c), withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify, its position with respect to this Agreement, the Transactions or approve or recommend or enter into, or propose publicly to approve or recommend or enter into, any Acquisition Proposal, including a Superior Proposal.

(f) Unless such actions are taken in connection with a termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(g) or 8.1(i), the Company shall not release any Third Party in connection with an Acquisition Proposal from, or waive any provision of, and shall take such steps to enforce as are requested by Parent, any confidentiality or standstill agreement entered into by the Company and such Third Party.

Subject to Section 6.11 below, Parent and the Company shall each use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any objections that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions. Parent and the Company, with respect to any threatened or pending preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or ruling or statute, rule, regulation, or executive order that would adversely affect the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the entry, enactment, or promulgation thereof, as the case may be.

(b) Parent and the Company shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Authority whose consent or approval is required for consummation of any of the Transactions which causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any such consent or approval will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval will be materially delayed.

6.11 HSR Act Filing and Other Antitrust Notifications.

(a) As promptly as possible after the date of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall file with the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the “Antitrust Division”) a pre-merger notification in accordance with the HSR Act with respect to the Merger pursuant to this Agreement, and shall file an antitrust notification in Israel. Each of Parent and the Company shall furnish promptly to the FTC, the Antitrust Division, and the Israel Antitrust Authority any additional information requested by either of them pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Israeli antitrust notification statutes or regulations; provided, however, that in the event that the FTC or the Antitrust Division or the Israel Antitrust Authority requests additional information prior to the issuance of a request for additional information or documentary material (i.e., a second request), such party will endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. Parent and the Company shall cooperate fully with each other in connection with the making of all such filings or responses. Each of Parent and the Company shall promptly inform the other party of any communication from the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice, or the Israel Antitrust Authority regarding any of the Transactions. To the extent permitted by Law, each of Parent and the Company shall permit the other party to review in advance any proposed material communication to any Governmental Authority. If Parent or the Company (or an affiliate thereof) receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any such Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions, then such party will endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance, with such request. None of the parties to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation (including any settlement of the investigation), litigation or other inquiry relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting. Parent shall not, without the written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), enter into any voluntary agreement between Parent and the FTC or the Antitrust Division pursuant to which Parent will agree not to consummate the Merger for a period of time that will or may potentially end after the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Outside Date (as such may be extended in accordance with Section 8.1(b)).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall require Parent or any of its subsidiaries to, and except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not take any action to and shall not allow any of the Company Subsidiaries to, consent or proffer to divest, hold separate, or enter into any license or similar agreement with respect to, or agree to restrict the ownership or operation of, any business or assets of Parent, the Company, or any of their respective subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the Company or Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries be obligated to litigate or participate in the litigation of any Action, whether judicial or administrative, brought by any Governmental Authority or appeal any order (i) challenging or seeking to make illegal, delaying materially or otherwise directly or indirectly restraining or prohibiting the consummation of the Merger or other Transactions or seeking to obtain from the Company or Parent or any of its subsidiaries any damages in connection therewith, (ii) seeking to prohibit or limit in any respect, or place any conditions on, the ownership or operation by the Company, Parent, or any of their respective affiliates of all or any portion of the business or assets of Parent or the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries or to require any such person to dispose of, license (whether pursuant to an exclusive or nonexclusive license), or hold separate all or any portion of the business or assets of Parent, the Company, or any of their respective subsidiaries, in each case as a result of or in connection with the Merger or any of the other Transactions, (iii) seeking, directly or indirectly, to impose or confirm limitations on the ability of Parent or any of its affiliates to acquire or hold, or exercise full rights of ownership of, any Company Shares or any shares of capital stock of the Surviving Company on all matters properly presented to the shareholders of the Company or the Surviving Company, respectively, (iv) seeking to require divestiture by Parent, the Company, or any of their respective subsidiaries of any Company Shares or any business or assets of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or Parent or its subsidiaries, or (v) which would reasonably be expected to impede or prevent the Merger or that would reasonably be expected to dilute materially the benefits to Parent of the Transactions.

6.12 Delisting. Each of the parties agrees to cooperate with the other party in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions necessary to (a) delist the Company Shares from the NASDAQ and the TASE and (b) terminate the registration of the Company Shares under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that such delisting or termination shall not be effective until after the Effective Time.

6.13 Further Assurances. Each of the parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the Transactions. Each party, at the reasonable request of another party, shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable for effecting the consummation of this Agreement and the Transactions.

6.14 Public Announcements. Parent and the Company agree that no press release or public announcement, statement, or disclosure concerning the Merger or any other Transaction shall be issued by either party without the prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except as such release or announcement may be required by Law, including the rules or regulations of any United States or Israeli securities exchange, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.

6.15 Conveyance Taxes. The Company and Parent shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all applications, filings, and other documents regarding any Taxes, including any stamp, transfer, recording, registration, and other Taxes and fees, that become payable in connection with the Transactions and that are required or permitted to be filed or paid on or before the Effective Time. The Conveyance Taxes shall be borne equally by Parent and the Company. None of the parties shall be responsible for any Taxes, including capital gains Tax, payable by the holder of the Company Shares or Company Options in connection with the Transactions.

6.16 No Control of the Company’s or Parent’s Operations.

All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined in any New York state or federal court sitting in New York City, New York. The parties hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the County of New York for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party, and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the Transactions may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.

(b) Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein to Sections, Articles, Annexes, Exhibits, or Schedules shall be deemed to refer to Sections, Articles, Annexes, Exhibits, or Schedules of or to this Agreement, as applicable.

(c) Unless otherwise indicated, the words “include,” “includes,” and “including,” when used herein, shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

(d) The parties agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding, or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

(e) Except as otherwise indicated, (i) all references in this Agreement to dollar amounts and to “$” are intended to refer to U.S. dollars, and (ii) all references in this Agreement to “NIS” are intended to refer to New Israeli Shekels.

(f) The English language version of this Agreement shall be controlling (and any translation of this Agreement into the Hebrew language shall be for the convenience of the parties only and shall not be taken into account in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement).

(g) Any reference herein to any Law or legal requirement (including to any statute, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, or any provision thereof) shall be deemed to include reference to such Law or to such legal requirement, as amended, and any legal requirements promulgated thereunder or successor thereto. It is understood and agreed that, in the absence of compelling legal authority in Israel to the contrary, the Company, the Company Board and the Company’s outside legal counsel shall be entitled to rely on and deem applicable to the Company and the Company Board the Law applicable to corporations incorporated in Delaware for purposes of making the conclusions contemplated by Section 6.2 (and providing advice with respect thereto) relating to the fiduciary duties of such person for purposes of this Agreement, and that references to the “fiduciary duties” of the Company Board and other terms of similar import shall, for purposes of this Agreement, include reference to such Delaware Law. The immediately preceding sentence is intended only to govern the contractual rights of the parties to this Agreement; it being understood and agreed that nothing in this Agreement is intended to modify any fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law or give rise to any breach or violation of this Agreement on the part of the Company by reason of the fact that the Company Board has complied with the Law of the State of Israel, rather than the Delaware Law, governing the duties owed by a director of a company formed under the Laws of the State of Israel to such company, its shareholders, or any other person.

(h) Where a document is described as having been, or is required to be, provided or made available by the Company to another party, such document shall be deemed to have been so provided where it has been delivered in any manner by or on behalf of the Company to Parent, its counsel, or any of its other Representatives, including where it is delivered in electronic form by email or through the Project Moon Virtual Data Room operated by Intralinks, or where it is otherwise available publicly including through ▇▇▇▇▇ or the Companies Registrar.

9.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other form of electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized.
