its approval does not harm the company and the office holder discloses the nature of his or her
personal interest in the act and all material facts and documents a reasonable time before

liability to the company, in whole or in part, for a breach of duty of care, but only if a

13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">(h)
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
We indemnify our office holders for certain liabilities. The Israeli Companies Law, 1999, or
the Companies Law, allows us to indemnify or insure our office holders against the following
liabilities incurred for acts performed as an office holder:
•
a breach of duty of loyalty to the company, to the extent that the office holder acted in
good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company;
•
a breach of duty of care to the company or to a third party; and
•
a financial liability imposed on or incurred by the office holder in favor of a third
party.
Table of Contents
We cannot, however, indemnify or insure our office holders against any of the following:
•
a breach of duty of loyalty, except to the extent that the office holder acted in good
faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company;
•
a breach of duty of care committed intentionally or recklessly, excluding a breach arising
out of the negligent conduct of the office holder;
•
an act or omission committed with intent to derive illegal personal benefit; or
•
a fine levied against the office holder.
An Israeli company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach of the duty
of loyalty of the office holder. The company may, however, approve an office holder's act performed
in breach of the duty of loyalty, provided that the office holder acted in good faith, the act or
its approval does not harm the company and the office holder discloses the nature of his or her
personal interest in the act and all material facts and documents a reasonable time before
discussion of the approval. An Israeli company may exculpate an office holder in advance from
liability to the company, in whole or in part, for a breach of duty of care, but only if a
provision authorizing such exculpation is inserted in its articles of association. Our amended and
restated articles of association include such a provision. An Israeli company may not exculpate a
director for liability arising out of a prohibited dividend or distribution to shareholders.
Pursuant to the Companies Law, we may indemnify an office holder only for judgments,
settlements or arbitrators' awards approved by a court that were rendered in connection with events
that the board of directors deemed foreseeable based on the company's actual activities at the time
of the approval by the board of the indemnification, provided that the indemnification is limited
to an amount or criteria determined by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances
and that the indemnification undertaking states the foreseeable activities and the amount or
criteria. In addition, we may indemnify an office holder against the following liabilities incurred
for acts performed as an office holder:
•
reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by the office holder as
a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him or her by an authority
authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding, provided that (i) no indictment was
filed against such office holder as a result of such investigation or proceeding and (ii)
either (A) no financial liability was imposed upon him or her as a substitute for the criminal
proceeding as a result of such investigation or proceeding or (B) if the financial liability
was imposed, it was imposed with respect to an offense that does not require proof of criminal
intent; and
•
reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by the office holder or
imposed by a court in proceedings instituted against him or her by the company, on its behalf
or by a third party or in connection with criminal proceedings in which the office holder was
acquitted or in which the office holder was convicted of an offense that does not require
proof of criminal intent.
Under the Companies Law, exculpation, indemnification and insurance of office holders must be
approved by our audit committee and our board of directors and, in respect of our directors, by our
shareholders.
Our amended and restated articles of association allow us to indemnify and insure our office
holders to the fullest extent permitted by the Companies Law. In addition, we have entered into
agreements with each of our office holders undertaking to indemnify them to the fullest extent
permitted by law up to certain maximum amounts. This indemnification is limited to events
determined as foreseeable by our board of directors based on the company's activities, and to an
amount or criteria determined by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances, and
the insurance is subject to our discretion depending on its availability, effectiveness and cost.

Undertakings
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
the Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on
Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
Table of Contents
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(h)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
