PROPOSAL TO AMEND COMPANY'S REGISTERED SHARE CAPITAL
 
On December 5, 2016, the Company executed a Securities Purchase Agreement with HCP-FVE, LLC (an affiliate of Hale Capital Partners, LP) ("HCP", and the " HCP Purchase Agreement ") by which HCP invested $5,000,000 in the Company in exchange for a convertible promissory note (the " Note ").  The Note bears interest at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal (New York edition) plus 2.5% (if interest is paid in cash) or 3% (if the interest is capitalized), compounded quarterly, and is convertible by HCP into Ordinary Shares at a conversion price of $1.776.  The Note will be exchanged for a number of Series A Preferred Shares determined by dividing the sum of the principal and interest due and owing under the Note by the conversion price of the Note (presently $1.776) if and when this proposal is approved. Any as-yet unconverted portion of the Note matures in December 2020. The terms of the Note, prior to conversion to Series A Preferred Shares, mimic in large measure the terms of the Series A Preferred Shares described in Proposal 6 below.

9

 
Because the HCP Purchase Agreement anticipates the issuance, in certain circumstances, of Series A Preferred Shares to HCP upon conversion, the Note requires that the Company bring the creation of the Series A Preferred Shares to the shareholders for approval. That creation requires both a change in the Company's registered share capital in accordance with this Proposal and the amendment of the Company's current Articles of Association in accordance with Proposal 6.
 
Approval of this Proposal 5 requires 75% of the total number of votes cast at the meeting, excluding abstentions.
 
RESOLVED, to amend the Company's Memorandum of Incorporation (the "Memorandum") to provide, in place of Section 4 of the Memorandum, that the Company's registered share capital will be NIS 5,000,000 (five million) divided into 115,000,000 (one hundred and fifteen million) Ordinary Shares nominal value NIS 0.04 per share  and 10,000,000 (ten million) Series A Preferred Shares nominal value NIS 0.04 per share.
 
The Board of Directors recommends that the Shareholders vote "FOR" the amendment of the Memorandum such that the registered share capital of the Company will be in accordance with the above.
 
6.
PROPOSAL TO ADOPT THE AMENDED ARTICLES
 
As discussed under Proposal 5, Creation of the Series A Preferred Shares requires both a change in the Company's registered share capital in accordance with Proposal 5 and the amendment of the Company's current Articles of Association in accordance with this Proposal 6. The rights of the Series A Preferred Shares are detailed in the Amended Articles.  Those rights can only be fully understood by a careful review of the Amended Articles. However, a summary of the main economic rights accruing to the Series A Preferred Shares follows.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined have the meanings given them in the Amended Articles:

a)
Optional Conversion from Series A Preferred Shares to Ordinary . At any time after the Original Issue Date for the Series A Preferred Shares, the holder has the option to convert any or all Series A Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares. The number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares will be equal to the Stated Value (the Conversion Price of the Note on the date of the exchange of the Note for the Initial Series A Preferred Shares), multiplied by the number of Series A Preferred Shares to be converted, divided by the Conversion Price ($1.776, as the same may be adjusted). In no conversion situation may the converting holder convert Series A Preferred Shares if, after giving effect to the proposed conversion by such converting holder, such converting holder would hold more than 9.99% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares.

b)
Mandatory Conversion from Series A Preferred Shares to Ordinary . If at any time after December 5, 2017, the Closing Price for Ordinary Shares is 250% greater than the Conversion Price for at least 45 consecutive Trading Days and certain equity conditions and other conditions relating to the liquidity of the shares to be received as a result of the conversion are met, then the Company may elect to require the holder to convert a portion or all of their outstanding Series A Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares, subject to the volume limitations set forth therein. However, the Company is required by the HCP Purchase Agreement to file a "shelf" registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the Ordinary Shares into which the Series A Preferred Shares are convertible, and, in the event that the initial "shelf" Registration Statement is not effective as of December 5, 2017, the Mandatory Conversion Commencement Date will be extended until the Registration Statement is effective.

10

c)
Dividends . The Company will be required to pay Preferred Dividends on each Dividend Payment Date (which occur at the end of each calendar quarter, in arrears) to the holders. Dividends will be payable in cash, or, in lieu of payment in cash, the Company may issue the holders additional Series A Preferred Shares. The dividend rate will be the Prime Rate plus (1) 2.5% if the dividend payment is made in cash or (2) 3% if the dividend payment is made in securities of the Company. So long as any Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company will not pay or declare any dividend or make any other distribution on the Ordinary Shares or any other securities of the Company, until all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares, and all other amounts due and owing in respect of the Series A Preferred Shares, have been paid, in full..

d)
Redemption Rights . The holders of the Series A Preferred Shares may require that 20% of the proceeds (net of fees) attributable to the incurrence of any Indebtedness or issuance of Equity Interests by the Company in excess of $5,000,000 be used to redeem all or a portion of the Series A Preferred Shares. At any time or following the earlier to occur of the occurrence of an Event of Default or December 5, 2020, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares will have the right to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares at a price per Share equal to the greater of (1) the sum of 100% of the Stated Value ($1.776, as adjusted) plus all declared but unpaid dividends, plus any amounts due and payable in respect of such Series A Preferred Share pursuant to Article 170 (see below) and (2) in the case of a Fundamental Change, the product of the number of Ordinary Shares into which the Series A Preferred Share could be converted, multiplied by the greater of (A) the per share price to be paid to the holders of Ordinary Shares in connection with certain Fundamental Changes and (B) the Closing Price on the date of delivery by the Holder of an Optional Redemption Notice (the greater of (1) and (2), the "Fundamental Change Redemption Price"). Article 170 specifies that, if any payment is not paid for any reason when due, the Company will pay interest at an annual rate 12.5%, with such interest to accrue daily in arrears and unpaid amounts to be compounded quarterly. In the event of a Fundamental Change, a Holder will have the right to require the Company to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares at a price per Preferred Share equal to the Fundamental Change Redemption Price. "Fundamental Change" is defined as (i) the Company or any subsidiary effects a sale of material assets or property of the Company or such subsidiary (for purposes of this clause (i), a sale of material assets or property shall be deemed to be a sale for consideration, whether in cash or in kind, exceeding twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate revenues of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately preceding); (ii) the Company or any subsidiary effects the sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) the Company or any subsidiary effects any sale, disposition or exclusive license that is effectively a sale or transfer, directly or indirectly, of 50% or more of the assets of the Company or any subsidiary, or (iv) there is a change of control.

11

e)
Liquidation . Upon the occurrence of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the Holders will be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or funds of the Company to the holders of Junior Securities, an amount per Series A Preferred Share in cash equal to the greater of (1) the sum of (i) 100% of the Stated Value per Series A Preferred Share, plus (ii) 100% of all declared but unpaid dividends plus any interest payable pursuant to Article 170 or (2) the amount mentioned in clause (2) under the section entitled "Redemption Rights". In the event that the Series A Preferred Share Liquidation Preference is not paid with respect to any Series A Preferred Shares as required, all such shares will remain outstanding and entitled to all their rights and preferences, and the Company will pay interest in accordance with Article 170.
 
In addition to the economic rights above, the Amended Articles also grant HCP and its affiliates, during the Rights Period as defined therein (i.e. the period during which HCP and its affiliates continue to hold at least thirty five percent (35%) of its initial Series A Preferred Shares), a right to appoint a director, require HCP or the director appointed by HCP to approve certain actions of the Company (some of the most significant of which are a Fundamental Change, the acquisition of assets or equity interests of another entity under certain conditions, the disposition of equity interests of a subsidiary, the sale of assets of the Company or a subsidiary under certain circumstances, to take or omit to be taken any action which would reasonably be expected, by the Company acting prudently, to result in a material adverse effect, to issue equity interests at a price less than the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Shares, to enter into certain kinds of transactions with affiliates, directors and other office holders, to pay dividends, to increase shares reserved for issuance in an option plan or to amend the 2016 Plan and others), certain rights upon the occurrence of Events of Default and contain a number of other provisions relating to the Series A Preferred Shares or their holders.  One of those provisions is HCP's right – following the occurrence of a Redemption Default - to require the Company to pursue a sale of the Company with the sale process managed by an investment bank approved by HCP and with the sale process to be launched within a year after receipt of notice from HCP; provided that at least one bona fide offer is received, the Company is committed to consummate the sale no more than 9 months after launch. The holders of the Series A Preferred Shares also have as-converted voting rights and vote with the Ordinary Shares on an as-converted basis. The shareholders are referred again to the Amended Articles for a more detailed explanation of those rights.
 
Further still, companies like the Company which were registered prior to the adoption of the Companies Law, require higher majorities than are required in the Companies Law - in most cases, a simple majority - to amend their Memorandums of Incorporation and Articles of Association.  The Amended Articles equate the Company's requirements in that regard with the requirements for companies registered after the Companies Law. The Amended Articles also amend the quorum requirements to allow for a deferred shareholder meeting with any two shareholders as the quorum, if there is no quorum at the initial meeting.
 
Approval of this Proposal requires 75% of the total number of votes cast at the meeting, excluding abstentions.
 
12

  RESOLVED, to adopt the Amended and Restated Articles of Association of the Company in the form attached as Exhibit A (the "Amended Articles"), which will replace the Company's present articles of association in their entirety.  Article 69 of the Amended Articles will be regarded as having amended the provisions of the Memorandum and the Articles of Association with regard to the majorities required to amend them such that a simple majority of the total number of votes in the meeting, excluding abstentions, will be required henceforth to amend the Memorandum or the Amended Articles.
 
The Board of Directors recommends that the Shareholders vote "FOR" the adoption of the Amended Articles.
 
7.
PROPOSAL TO ADOPT THE AMENDED COMPENSATION POLICY
 
On August 14, 2017 the Company's Board of Directors, based on the recommendation of its Compensation Committee of the same day, resolved to approve an amendment and restatement of the Company's currently valid compensation policy in the form attached as Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement (the " Compensation Policy ") .
 
The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that an amendment of the Current Policy is necessary to accommodate an increase in the number of directors and other officers who are resident in jurisdictions other than Israel and other recent changes in the Company's structure and business and the need to provide more flexible bonus and equity compensation structures to allow achievement of long-term goals. By doing so, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors seek to ensure that the Company will maintain its ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions without any geographic restraints and that the compensation provided to key employees will remain competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of a selected group of peer companies and the broader marketplace from which the Company recruits and competes for talent. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that the suggested amendments to the Compensation Policy properly balance the requirements of the Companies Law and the objectives described above.
 
RESOLVED, to adopt the Second Amended and Restated Compensation Policy of the Company, in the form attached as Exhibit B , which will replace the Company's present compensation policy in its entirety.
 
The members of the Compensation Committee and the directors have personal interests in the approval of the amendment of the Compensation Policy because it will govern their compensation as directors. The Israel Companies Law also requires that the Compensation Policy be approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders, with a Special Majority. In the event the Shareholders do not approve the proposed Compensation Policy, the Company is entitled to adopt it anyway, provided that the Compensation Committee and afterwards the Board of Directors determine, based on detailed grounds and after further discussion of the Compensation Policy, that the approval of the Compensation Policy despite the opposition of the General Meeting, is for the benefit of the Company.
 
The Board of Directors recommends that the Shareholders vote "FOR" approving the amendments to the Company's Compensation Policy.
 
Approval of this resolution requires a Special Majority.

8.
PROPOSAL TO ADOPT THE US SUB-PLAN
 
The increasing number of officers and employees of the Company in the United States require the creation of a sub-plan to its 2016 Israeli Incentive Plan (the Company's main share option plan approved by the Company's shareholders at the annual general meeting held on November 26, 2016), the main purpose of which is to address the tax concerns of the Company and its US officers and employees in the context of the issuance of share options, restricted shares and restricted share units to the US officers and employees. On April 25, 2017 the Company's Board of Directors, based on the recommendation of its Compensation Committee of the same day, resolved to approve the adoption of the US Sub-Plan.
 
RESOLVED, to approve the adoption of the US sub-plan to the Company's 2016 Israeli Incentive Plan in the form attached as Exhibit C. (the "US Sub-Plan") The number of Ordinary Share reserved for issue under the US Sub-Plan will be identical to that of the Company's 2016 Israeli Incentive Plan.
 
Those members of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors who are US citizens have personal interests in the approval of the adoption of the US Sub-Plan because they may be issued options, restricted shares or restricted share units under it.
 
The Board of Directors recommends that the Shareholders vote "FOR" approving the amendments to the Company's Compensation Policy.
 
9.
PROPOSAL TO INCREASE SHARES RESERVED FOR ISSUE UNDER OPTION PLANS
 
The need to have adequate reserves of Ordinary Shares to incentivize directors, officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries with options, restricted shares and restricted share units, requires increasing the number of Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance under the Company's 2016 Israeli Incentive Plan and under the US Sub-Plan. On April 25, 2017 the Company's Board of Directors, based on the recommendation of its Compensation Committee of the same day, resolved to approve an increase in the amount of 1,200,000 Ordinary Shares. Options with regard to the shares previously reserved and with regard to the shares reserved in the recent resolution may be granted in the context of either the Company's 2016 Israeli Incentive Plan or the US Sub-Plan. As of August 1, 2017, options had been granted and were outstanding with regard to about 1,747,000 of the 2,700,000 total reserved shares.
 
RESOLVED, to approve the increase the number of Ordinary Shares reserved for issue under either the Company's 2016 Israeli Incentive Plan or under the US Sub-Plan by an additional 1,200,000, such that the total number of Ordinary Shares reserved for issue will be 2,700,000. Those shares may be issued in the context of either the 2016 Israeli Incentive Plan or the US Sub-Plan.
 
The members of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors have personal interests in the approval of the increase because they may be issued options, restricted shares or restricted share units that are part of the increased reserve.
 
The Board of Directors recommends that the Shareholders vote "FOR" approving the increase of the number of Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance under the Company's 2016 Israeli Incentive Plan and under the US Sub-Plan.

10.
PROPOSAL TO APPROVE SIGNATURE OF AMENDED INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS WITH DIRECTORS
 
The Company has agreed to indemnify its directors and other officers for various kinds of potential liability in accordance with an indemnification agreement that is consistent with the provisions of the Companies Law with regard to such agreements.  In the context of the HCP Purchase Agreement, HCP requested that the existing indemnification agreement be amended to clarify the relationship between indemnification under the agreement and indemnification that the director or officer may have from other sources (for example, HCP might indemnify its appointee to the Company's Board of Directors in the same case that the Company had an indemnity obligation under its indemnification agreement). Therefore, the proposed form of amended indemnification agreement clarifies that indemnity payments made by a person with a parallel indemnification obligation to the Company's will not derogate from the Company's obligation to indemnify. The amended indemnification agreement is in the form attached as Exhibit C (the " Amended Indemnification Agreement ").  If approved, the Company will sign the Amended Indemnification Agreement with all present and future directors and other officers.
 
Shareholder approval is required for the Amended Indemnification Agreement to the extent it relates to directors and the CEO, but not for other officers. Because the majority required for approval of the Amended Indemnification Agreement relative to the directors is a regular majority and with regard to the CEO is a Special Majority, the Company is presenting those approvals in two proposals, this one and Proposal 11.
 
The Compensation Committee approved the Amended Indemnification Agreement on August 14, 2017 and the Board approved it on the same day.
 
All of the directors have a personal interest in the above resolution.
 
Approval of this Proposal requires a simple majority of the total number of votes cast at the meeting, excluding abstentions.
 
RESOLVED, to approve the signature of indemnification agreements between the Company and each of its present and future directors in the form attached as Exhibit D.
 
The Board of Directors recommends that the Shareholders vote "FOR" the approval of the amendment of the indemnification agreements and their signature with present and future directors.
 
11.
PROPOSAL TO APPROVE SIGNATURE OF AMENDED INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS WITH CEOs
 
This Proposal is further to Proposal 10.
 
Approval of this Proposal requires a Special Majority.
 
RESOLVED, to approve the signature of indemnification agreements between the Company and each of its present and future CEOs in the form attached as Exhibit D.
 
The Board of Directors recommends that the Shareholders vote "FOR" the approval of the amendment of the indemnification agreements and their signature with present and future directors.

12.
PROPOSAL TO APPROVE AWARD OF OPTIONS TO OSNAT SEGEV-HAREL AS DIRECTOR.
 
At the annual General Meeting held on December 23, 2016, the shareholders approved the Company's Repricing Plan (as described in the Proxy Statement for that Plan) with regard to options held by some of its directors. At the point the Repricing Plan was adopted, Osnat Segev-Harel was an external director (as defined in the Companies Law) and the regulations governing compensation for external directors precluded application of the Repricing Plan to her.  Afterwards, the Company decided to avail itself of an exemption from the laws of the State of Israel requiring the nomination of external directors and Osnat Segev-Harel continued as an independent director as required under US law.
 
On April 25, 2017 the Company's Board of Directors, based on the recommendation of its Compensation Committee of the same day, resolved to award additional options to Osnat Segev-Harel according to the provisions of the following resolution, in order to compensate her for not being included in the Repricing Plan.
 
Osnat-Segev Harel has a personal interest in the above resolution. Both the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors determined that the award of options in accordance with this proposal   are consistent both with the Compensation Policy as it will be if the shareholders adopt the resolution above and as it is today and was as of August 14, 2017.
 
Approval of this Proposal requires a simple majority of the total number of votes cast at the meeting, excluding abstentions.
 
RESOLVED: to approve the award to Osnat Segev-Harel, a director of the Company, under the Company's share option plan and in accordance with its terms, of options to purchase 25,000 ordinary shares of the Company. The options will vest in 3 equal parts such that 33% of the options will vest on April 25, 2018, 33% of the options will vest on April 25, 2019, and the remainder will vest on April 25, 2020. The grant date of the options is April 25, 2017, and the exercise price per share of the options will be equal to the closing price of the Company's shares as of the grant date.
 
The Board of Directors recommends that the Shareholders vote "FOR" the approval of the options to Osnat Segev-Harel.
 
13.
PROPOSAL TO APPROVE AWARD OF OPTIONS TO DONALD R. DIXON, MARTIN HALE, JR., IZHAK NAKAR, OSNAT SEGEV-HAREL AND IDO SCHECHTER AS DIRECTORS.
 
On August 14, 2017 the Company's Board of Directors, based on the recommendation of its Compensation Committee of the same day, resolved to award  options to Donald R. Dixon, Martin Hale, Jr., Izhak Nakar, Osnat Segev-Harel and Ido Schechter Osnat Segev-Harel according to the provisions of the following resolution. The options to Osnat Segev-Harel are in addition to the options in accordance with the preceding resolution.
 
16

All of the directors have a personal interest in the above resolution. Both the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors determined that the award of options in accordance with this proposal   are consistent both with the Compensation Policy as it will be if the shareholders adopt the resolution above and as it is today and was as of August 14, 2017.
 
Approval of this Proposal requires a simple majority of the total number of votes cast at the meeting, excluding abstentions.
 
RESOLVED, to approve the award to each of   Donald R. Dixon, Martin Hale, Jr., Izhak Nakar, Osnat Segev-Harel and Ido Schechter, directors of the Company, under the Company's share option plan (and in the cases of Donald R. Dixon and Martin Hale, Jr., under the US Sub-Plan) and in accordance with its terms, of options to purchase 25,000 ordinary shares each of the Company (a total of 125,000 options). The options will vest in 2 equal parts such that 50% of the options will vest on August 14, 2018 and 50% will vest on August 14, 2019. The grant date of the options is August 14, 2017, and the exercise price per share of the options will be equal to the closing price of the Company's shares as of the grant date. All unvested options will vest immediately in the event of a Liquidation Event as defined in the Amended Compensation Policy.
 
The Board of Directors recommends that the Shareholders vote "FOR" the approval of the options to Donald R. Dixon, Martin Hale, Jr., Izhak Nakar, Osnat Segev-Harel and Ido Schechter.
 
14.
PROPOSAL TO EXTEND THE APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF THE COMPANY.

A - 46

164.2
Mandatory Conversion. If (i) at any time commencing after the Mandatory Conversion Commencement Date, the Closing Price is 250% greater than the Conversion Price (solely in respect of the Initial Series A Preferred Shares) or the applicable Elected Bonus Share Conversion Price (solely in respect of the applicable Elected Bonus Shares)(in each case, subject to appropriate adjustments for any bonus shares, share split, share combination, reclassification or similar transaction in respect of the Ordinary Shares) then in effect for at least forty-five (45) consecutive Trading Days (including, without limitation, during the entire thirty-five (35) Trading Day period covered by the Mandatory Conversion Notice (as defined below) and continuing for each day thereafter through and until the Conversion Date applicable to such Mandatory Conversion) (the "Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period") and (ii) the Equity Conditions are satisfied for each day of such Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period and continue to be satisfied for each day through and including the Conversion Date, then the Company may elect, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to require the Holders to convert (a "Mandatory Conversion") a portion of their outstanding Series A Preferred Shares (solely in respect of the applicable Series A Preferred Shares for which the per Trading Day Closing Price condition set forth in clause (i) of the first sentence of this Article 164.2 has been satisfied), up to their entirety, into Ordinary Shares by delivering an irrevocable written notice of such election to the Holder (the "Mandatory Conversion Notice").  For purposes of example only, if the Conversion Price in respect of the Initial Series A Preferred Shares is $1.00, then the Closing Price would need to be greater than $2.50 for each Trading Day in the relevant period for the condition set forth in clause (i) of the first sentence of this Article 164.2 to be satisfied with respect to the Initial Series A Preferred Shares.  The Company shall deliver the Mandatory Conversion Notice to the Holder on the thirty-fifth (35th) consecutive Trading Day that the Closing Price is 250% greater than the Conversion Price (solely in respect of the Initial Series A Preferred Shares) or the applicable Elected Bonus Share Conversion Price (solely in respect of the applicable Elected Bonus Shares); provided that the Equity Conditions have been satisfied during each day of such thirty-five (35) consecutive Trading Day period (and, if such Equity Conditions were not satisfied during each day of such thirty-five consecutive Trading Day period, the Company may not deliver the Mandatory Conversion Notice).  The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall state: (i) the Conversion Date applicable to such Mandatory Conversion, which shall be no earlier than the tenth (10th) Trading Day after the delivery of such Mandatory Conversion Notice; (ii) the aggregate number of Series A Preferred Shares to be converted pursuant to the Mandatory Conversion (taking into account the limitations set forth in Article 164.4 hereof and the Volume Limit) if the Conversion Date were the date of the Mandatory Conversion Notice (including the calculation detailing how the Company arrived at such calculation); (iii) the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to the holder upon such Mandatory Conversion (taking into account the limitations set forth in Article 164.4 hereof and the Volume Limit) if the Conversion Date were the date of the Mandatory Conversion Notice (including the calculation detailing how the Company arrived at such calculation); and (iv) that the Mandatory Conversion Conditions (including the Equity Conditions and the per Trading Day Closing Price condition set forth in clause (i) of the first sentence of this Article 164.2) have been satisfied at all times during each day of the Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period through and including the delivery of the Mandatory Conversion Notice.  The aggregate number of Series A Preferred Shares convertible as provided in this Article 164.2 shall be limited (y) to a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Volume Limit as of the Conversion Date applicable to such Mandatory Conversion and (z) by Article 164.4.  The tenth (10th) Trading Day after the delivery of such Mandatory Conversion Notice (or such later date specified in the Mandatory Conversion Notice) will be the "Conversion Date" for such Mandatory Conversion.  On the Conversion Date, and as a condition to the Company's right to effect the Mandatory Conversion, the Company shall deliver to the holder a certificate (the "Certificate") signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company certifying (1) that, on each day during the Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period through and including the Conversion Date, the per Trading Day Closing Price condition set forth in clause (i) of the first sentence of this Article 164.2and the Equity Conditions have been satisfied (collectively, the "Mandatory Conversion Conditions"), (2) the aggregate number of Series A Preferred Shares to be converted pursuant to the Mandatory Conversion (taking into account the limitations set forth in Article 164.4 hereof and the Volume Limit); and (3) the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Holders (taking into account the limitations set forth in Article 164.4 hereof and the Volume Limit) upon such Mandatory Conversion on the Conversion Date (and which Certificate shall include the calculation detailing how the Company arrived at its determination in clauses (ii) and (iii)); provided, that, if the Company is unable to deliver the Certificate (a "Mandatory Conversion Conditions Failure") on the Conversion Date, the Certificate shall instead state, unless a Holder waives any such Mandatory Conversion Conditions, that the Mandatory Conversion Conditions have not been met, that the Mandatory Conversion Notice is revoked and null and void and that the Mandatory Conversion shall not occur; provided, further, that a failure by the Company to deliver the Certificate shall be deemed to be a Mandatory Conversion Conditions Failure.  If a Mandatory Conversion Conditions Failure occurs after the delivery by the Company of the Mandatory Conversion Notice and prior to the Conversion Date, the Company shall, no later than one NY Business Day thereafter, deliver to the Holder a notice of such failure and provide that the Mandatory Conversion shall not occur, unless the Holder, in its sole discretion, elects to waive such failure in writing, in which case the Company shall complete the Mandatory Conversion in accordance with this Article 164.2.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company may effect only one (1) Mandatory Conversion during any ninety (90) consecutive Trading Days.  If a Holder delivers any Conversion Notice following its receipt of the Mandatory Conversion Notice and prior to the Conversion Date applicable to such Mandatory Conversion, the number of Series A Preferred Shares converted by the Holder as part of such Conversion Notice shall reduce the number of Series A Preferred Shares to be converted on the Conversion Date applicable to such Mandatory Conversion, unless the Holder elects otherwise in its Conversion Notice.
 
A - 47

164.3
Pro Rata Mandatory Conversion Requirement.  If the Company elects to cause a conversion of any Series A Preferred Shares pursuant to Article 164.2, then it must simultaneously take the same action in the same proportion with respect to all Holders of Series A Preferred Shares, subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Article 164.4.  If the Company elects a Mandatory Conversion pursuant to Article 164.2 with respect to less than all of the Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding, then, subject to the limitations in respect of any Holder pursuant to Article 164.4, the Company shall require conversion of Series A Preferred Shares from each of the Holders equal to the product of (i) the aggregate Series A Preferred Shares which the Company has elected to cause to be converted pursuant to Article 164.2, multiplied by (ii) such Holder's Pro Rata Portion (such fraction with respect to each such Holder is referred to as its "Mandatory Conversion Allocation Percentage", and such amount with respect to each Holder is referred to as its "Pro Rata Mandatory Conversion Amount").  In the event that the initial holder of any Series A Preferred Shares shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder's Series A Preferred Shares, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder's Mandatory Conversion Allocation Percentage and the Pro Rata Mandatory Conversion Amount.
 
164.4
Certain Conversion Restrictions.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall a Holder be entitled (or obligated) to convert any portion of the Series A Preferred Shares so held by such Holder in excess of that portion upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates (other than Ordinary Shares which may be deemed beneficially owned through ownership of the unconverted Series A Preferred Shares or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Holder subject to a limitation on conversion analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion of that portion of the Series A Preferred Shares with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by such Holder and its Affiliates of more than 9.99% of the then outstanding Ordinary Shares.  For purposes of this Article 164.4, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
164.5
Selection of Conversion Shares.  In connection with any conversion of Series A Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares in accordance with Article 164.1, the Holder shall be entitled to select the specific Series A Preferred Shares (whether Initial Series A Preferred Shares or Elected Bonus Shares) to be converted  into Ordinary Shares.

165.3
Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange, Substitution, Reorganization, Merger or Consolidation.  If at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares are changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for in Article 165.2 or a Fundamental Change), in any such event each Holder shall then have the right to convert Series A Preferred Shares into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or other change by holders of the maximum number of Ordinary Shares into which such Series A Preferred Shares could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.  In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 165 with respect to the rights of the Holders of Series A Preferred Shares after the capital reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Article 165 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price or applicable Elected Bonus Share Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable.

165.5
Mechanics of Conversion.
 
165.5.1
The number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon any conversion of Series A Preferred Shares hereunder shall equal the quotient of (x) the product of (A) the Stated Value multiplied by, (B) the number of Series A Preferred Shares to be converted, divided by, (y) the Conversion Price in respect of any conversion of the Initial Series A Preferred Shares or the applicable Elected Bonus Share Conversion Price in respect of any conversion of the Elected Bonus Shares, on the applicable Conversion Date.  The Company shall pay each Holder of Series A Preferred Shares being converted the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends on such Series A Preferred Shares held by such Holder and being converted through the Conversion Date in cash in United States Dollars.
 
165.5.2
Upon conversion of any Series A Preferred Shares, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after the Optional Conversion Date or Conversion Date applicable to such Mandatory Conversion, as applicable) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate a certificate for the Underlying Shares issuable upon such conversion (or cause to be credited such Underlying Shares to the Holder or its designee's balance account with The Depository Trust Corporation ("DTC")  through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System).  The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Underlying Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Underlying Shares as of the Conversion Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver the Underlying Shares electronically through the DTC.
 
165.5.3
The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original certificate(s) evidencing the Series A Preferred Shares being converted in order to effect a conversion of such Series A Preferred Shares hereunder.  Execution and delivery of the Conversion Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original certificate(s) and issuance of a new certificate evidencing the remaining Series A Preferred Shares; provided that the cancellation of the original certificate(s) shall not be deemed effective until a certificate for such Underlying Shares is delivered to the Holder, or the Holder or its designee receives a credit for such Underlying Shares to its balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System.  Upon surrender of a certificate following one or more partial conversions, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a new certificate representing the remaining Series A Preferred Shares.
 
A - 50

165.5.4
The Holder shall surrender to the Company or its transfer agent the original certificate(s) (if any) held by such Holder evidencing the Series A Preferred Shares being converted within thirty (30) days after the conversion, provided, that the Holder's failure to so deliver the original certificate(s) shall not affect the validity of such conversion or any of the Company's obligations under these Articles.
 
165.6
The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Underlying Shares upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by the Holder with respect to any provision of these Articles (other than a written waiver or written consent with respect to the Company's obligation to issue and deliver the particular Underlying Shares at issue), the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Underlying Shares (other than such limitations contemplated by these Articles).
 
165.7
If by the fifth (5th) Trading Day after a Conversion Date, the Company fails to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder such Underlying Shares in such amounts and in the manner required pursuant to this Article, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such conversion.
 
165.8
If by the third (3rd) Trading Day after a Conversion Date the Company fails to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder such Underlying Shares in such amounts and in the manner required pursuant to Article 165.5 and if after such third (3rd) Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Underlying Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall, at the option of the Holder (in its sole discretion), either (i) pay cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Ordinary Shares) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Ordinary Shares and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Ordinary Shares, times (B) the Closing Price on the date of the event giving rise to the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate.

165.9
Certificate of Adjustment.  In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or any applicable Elected Bonus Share Conversion Price for the number of Ordinary Shares or other securities issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares, if the Series A Preferred Shares are then convertible pursuant to this Article 165, the Company, at its expense, shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and shall, upon request, prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder so requesting at such Holder's address as shown in the Company's books.  Failure to request or provide such notice shall have no effect on any such adjustment.
 
165.10
Notices of Record Date.  Upon any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to (i) receive any dividend, distribution or other right, or (ii) vote upon any Liquidation Event or Fundamental Change, the Company shall mail to each Holder at least ten (10) days prior to (x) the record date, if any, specified therein; or (y) if no record date is specified, the date upon which such action is to take effect (provided that such information shall be provided as soon as reasonably practicable in the event that such information is not required to be delivered by the Company to the public prior to or as of such 10-day period) a notice specifying (A) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such notice of meeting and a description of the matters to be acted on at such meeting, (B) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such notice or dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (C) the date on which any such Liquidation Event is expected to become effective, and (D) in the case of a Fundamental Change, a notice signed by an officer of the Company setting forth the consideration to be received by the Holders from the purchaser or to be distributed to the Holders by the Company, as applicable, on a per share basis (i) without conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares and (ii) assuming conversion of all Series A Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares.
 
165.11
Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Ordinary Shares on conversion of Series A Preferred Shares.  If any fraction of a Ordinary Shares would, except for the provisions of this Article, be issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares, the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued will be rounded down to the nearest whole share, and the Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay an amount of cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price (in the case of the conversion of the Initial Series A Preferred Shares) or the applicable Elected Bonus Share Conversion Price (in the case of the conversion of Elected Bonus Shares) on the date of conversion (each such payment in cash, the "Fractional Cash Payment").
 
A - 52

165.12
Restrictions.  Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Article 165 to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to pay any Fractional Cash Payments pursuant to Article 165.11 to any Holder if the payment of such Fractional Cash Payments would cause the Company to violate any applicable law or regulation or order. The Company shall pay any Fractional Cash Payments owed by it but that it did not pay pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence on the date that is on or before the day that is five (5) days after the Company is first able to pay such Fractional Cash Payments without violating any applicable law or regulation or order.

166.4
If the funds of the Company legally available to redeem Series A Preferred Shares in accordance with this Article 166 are insufficient to redeem the total number of such Series A Preferred Shares required to be redeemed on such redemption date or the Company is otherwise prohibited from redeeming the total number of such Series A Preferred Shares, the Company shall (i) take any action necessary or appropriate, to the extent permissible under applicable law and reasonably within its control (excluding actions to procure or require agreement of third party creditors (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include the Holders) to reduction, rescheduling or other arrangements with regard to amounts owing them), to remove promptly any impediments to its ability to redeem the total number of Series A Preferred Shares required to be so redeemed, including to the extent permissible under applicable law, reducing the stated capital of the Company or causing a revaluation of the assets of the Company to create sufficient surplus to make such redemption, (ii) in any event, use any funds legally available to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares from the Holders of such shares to be redeemed in proportion to the respective number of such shares that otherwise would have been redeemed if all such shares had been redeemed in full and (iii) to the extent required by Article 166.6 below, pursue a sale of the Company.

From and after the occurrence of a Redemption Default, the Company shall, upon the written request of Hale (a "Sale Notice"), pursue a sale of the Company.  The Company shall have a period of twelve (12) months from receipt of the Sale Notice to prepare the Company for sale, including interviewing investment banks and engaging an investment bank (which investment bank shall be appointed by the Company and shall be an investment bank of national standing with substantial experience in the Company's line of business and which investment bank shall be subject to Hale's reasonable approval (the investment bank so engaged is referred to herein as, the "Investment Bank")),  ensuring the Company's books and records are in an orderly fashion, setting up a data room of all requisite diligence materials and preparing a confidential information memorandum (together with the Investment Bank).  The Investment Bank shall assist and advise the Company in initiating, conducting and directing the sale process for the sale of the Company.  The Company shall, no later than the one (1) year anniversary of the Sale Notice, launch the sale process of the Company and shall seek, in good faith, to consummate a sale of the Company pursuant to such sale process as promptly as possible thereafter (but in no event later than nine (9) months following the launch of the sale process, subject to the Company receiving at least one (1) bona fide third party offer).  The Investment Bank shall report to management of the Company and shall keep Hale advised on a current basis of all material developments and shall, at all times, be available to Hale and answer any of Hale's questions regarding the sale process and its status.  The Investment Bank shall be retained until such time as a sale of the Company has been consummated, unless Hale agrees, in writing, to the termination of the Investment Bank.  The fees and expenses of the Investment Bank shall be paid by the Company and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Hale and the other Holders from all fees and expenses of the Investment Bank.  For the avoidance of doubt, the consent rights of Hale and/or the Series A Designee set forth in Article 167 and in the Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding Hale's delivery of the Sale Notice and the engagement of the Investment Bank. The Company shall have the right to cure a Redemption Default at any time prior to the Company's execution of a binding agreement for a sale of the Company upon thirty (30) days' advance written notice to the Holders requesting redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares (the "Redemption Cure Notice").  Each Holder that has requested redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares shall have the right, in such Holder's sole discretion, to rescind such Holder's redemption notice by notifying the Company, in writing, of such rescission (a "Rescission Notice") at any time prior to the end of the thirtieth (30 th ) day following such Holder's receipt of the Redemption Cure Notice (the end of such thirtieth (30 th ) day, the "Expiration Date") and, in such case, (i) such Holder's Series A Preferred Shares shall not be redeemed pursuant to the Redemption Cure Notice, (ii) such Holder shall continue to have the right, in the future, to request the redemption of its Series A Preferred Shares in accordance with this Article 166 and (iii) the Company may discontinue the sale process, subject to payment, in full, of the redemption price, on the Expiration Date, in respect of those Holders that have requested redemption of their Series A Preferred Shares and did not deliver a Rescission Notice.  The Company shall promptly furnish to the Holders all information in the Company's or any of its representative's possession (including oral information that has been furnished to the Company or its representatives, including the Investment Bank) that is material to a Holder's decision as to whether to rescind such Holder's redemption notice, including all information relating to the source and material terms of any proposed financing to cure the Redemption Default and the status of any proposed sale of the Company (including any indications of interest and third party proposals, whether oral or in writing).  If a Holder that has requested redemption of its Series A Preferred Shares does not deliver a Rescission Notice to the Company prior to the Expiration Date, the Company shall be obligated to pay the full redemption price to such Holder on the Expiration Date and, if the Company defaults on such obligation, the Company shall continue the sale process and thereafter forfeit its right to discontinue the sale process.

The Company shall provide written notice of any Liquidation Event or Fundamental Change specified in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the defined term Fundamental Change to each record Holder, if practicable, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the payment date or effective date thereof, or, if not practicable to provide prior notice, no less than five (5) NY Business Days prior to the occurrence thereof (the "Fundamental Change Notice").  Unless Hale elects not to treat any Fundamental Change specified in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the defined term Fundamental Change as a Liquidation Event and thereafter notifies the Company in writing of such election, which written notice must be delivered prior to the effective date of a Fundamental Change (or, if later, within five (5) Trading Days after Hale receive notice of such Fundamental Change from the Company), such Fundamental Change will be treated as a Liquidation Event with respect to all Holders for purposes of this Article 168.  If a Fundamental Change specified in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the defined term Fundamental Change is treated as a Liquidation Event and, in connection with such Fundamental Change, the Company pays to the Holders the Series A Liquidation Preference, in full, in respect of all of the Series A Preferred Shares, then, following such payment, the Series A Preferred Shares shall cease to be outstanding.
 
168.5
In the event that, immediately prior to the closing of a Fundamental Change specified in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv)  of the defined term Fundamental Change that is treated as a Liquidation Event, the cash distributions required by Article 168.1 have not been made, the Company shall forthwith either: (i) make payment of such distributions upon or immediately following the closing of such Liquidation Event; (ii) cause such closing to be postponed until such time as such cash distributions have been made; or (iii) cancel such transaction, in which event the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders shall revert to and be the same as such rights, preferences and privileges existing immediately prior to the date of the first notice by the Company required under Article 168.4.   The foregoing shall also apply to any Liquidation Event that is not tied to a Fundamental Change to the extent not in contravention of Israeli law.

169.2.1
shall be solely responsible for and shall pay to the relevant authorities the full amount of the Required Tax, Deduction or Withholding, in cash, promptly upon the earlier of determining that the Required Tax, Deduction or Withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against such Holder; and

shall promptly forward to the Holder an official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to such Holder evidencing such payment to such authorities.
 
169.3
If any Required Tax, Deduction or Withholding is required in connection with any conversion (whether voluntary or upon a Mandatory Conversion) of the Series A Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares in accordance with these Articles, then the Company shall be solely responsible for and shall pay to the relevant authorities the full amount of the Required Tax, Deduction or Withholding and shall pay to the Holder such additional amount (the "Gross Up Amount") as is necessary to ensure that the Holder receives the full benefits of such conversion as if no such Required Tax, Deduction or Withholding had been required.
 
169.4
The Company shall cooperate with the Holder to minimize or eliminate any Required Tax, Deduction or Withholding on any dividend payments payable to the Holder under these Articles or in respect of any Elected Bonus Shares issued under these Articles. If any Required Tax, Deduction or Withholding may be avoided by the Holder providing information or documentation to the Company, the Company shall request such information from the Holder and use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid such Required Tax, Deduction or Withholding, including by the filing of any forms or applications required of it – and assisting the Holder with filing of any forms or applications required of the Holder -- with the Israeli Tax Authority.

170.
Interest.  If any payment required to be paid pursuant to the terms of these Articles or any of the other Transaction Documents is not paid for any reason when and as due, the Company shall pay interest with respect to such unpaid amounts, at an aggregate rate per annum equal to twelve and one half percent (12.5%), with such interest to accrue daily in arrears and unpaid amounts to be compounded quarterly;  provided that (i) in no event shall such interest exceed the maximum permitted rate of interest under applicable law; (ii) the Company shall make all filings necessary to raise such interest rate to the maximum permitted rate of interest under applicable law and (iii) in the event that fulfillment of any provision hereof results in such rate of interest being in excess of the maximum permitted rate of interest under applicable law, the amount of interest required to be paid hereunder shall automatically be reduced to eliminate such excess; provided that any subsequent increase in the maximum permitted rate of interest under applicable law shall be retroactively effective to such applicable redemption date or payment date to the extent permitted by law.
 
171.
Reservation of Ordinary Shares.  The Company shall, at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Underlying Shares as required hereunder, the number of Ordinary Shares which are then issuable and deliverable pursuant to these Articles, in each case free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders.  All Ordinary Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.  If at any time the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to issue Underlying Shares as required hereunder, the Company will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
 
172.
Actions Prohibited by Law.  To the extent the Company is prohibited by law from taking any action specified in these Articles, the Company shall, upon the request of Hale, in addition to any other requirements of these Articles, take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Hale to implement a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute for the prohibited provision in order to give the maximum effect to the intent of the Company and the Holders (the "Amended Provision").  The Company shall take any action necessary or appropriate, to the extent reasonably within its control, to cause these Articles to be amended to include the Amended Provision.
 
173.
Amendment, Waivers.  Any of the rights of the Holders set forth herein may be amended or waived only by the written consent of Hale, except that each Holder may waive its own rights as provided in these Articles. Where Hale includes more than one entity, the exercise of Hale's rights under these Articles will be by the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Shares held by Hale.  No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of these Articles shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

Co mpensation Objectives  
 
Strong and effective leadership is fundamental to TIS's continued growth and success in the future. This requires the ability to attract, retain, reward and motivate highly-skilled Officers in competitive, global labor markets.
 
The Compensation Policy is intended to align between the need to incentivize Officers to succeed in achieving their goals and the need to assure that the compensation structure meets TIS's interests and its overall financial and strategic objectives.
 
In support of this goal, the Compensation Policy is designed to meet the following objectives:
 
·
Improve business results (Gross Profit / Operating Profit / EBITDA) and strategy implementation, encourage revenue growth and support work-plan's goals, through a long term perspective.
 
·
Create an appropriate incentive taking into account, inter alia , Company's size, financial conditions, geographical region and the risk management policy of the Company.
 
·
Balance rewards for both short-term and long-term results to ensure sustained business performance over time.
 
·
Create a clear line-of-sight between Officers' compensation and both Company and Officers' individual performance.
 
·
Align Officers' interests with those of the Company and its shareholders and incentivize achievement of long term goals.
 
·
Create fair and reasonable incentives, considering the Company's size, characteristics and type of activity.
 
·
Create the right balance between fixed and variable pay components.

4.2.
Base Salary
 
Base salary is a fixed compensation element which provides compensation to an Officer for performance of his or her duties and responsibilities and reflects the Officer's role, skills, qualifications, experience and market value (the " Base Salary ").
 
The Base Salary for newly hired Officers will be set based on the following considerations:
 
·
Role and business responsibilities.
 
·
Professional experience, education, expertise and qualifications.
 
·
 Previous compensation paid to the Officer.
 
·
 The Company's financial situation.
 
·
Internal equity: (a) Base salary and the total compensation package of comparable TIS' Officers; (b) The relationship between the Officer's compensation package and the salaries of the Company's other employees and specifically the median and average salaries and the effect of such relationship on work relations in the Company.
 
·
External equity - Market value based on a comparative salary survey, taking into account relevant market practice as a benchmark for the specific role using a peer-group of companies. The peer-group companies will be carefully selected to provide an appropriate comparative model and will be selected based on appropriate similarities taking into account factors such as geographical region, market capitalization, type of industry, location of listing, level of revenues, number of employees, location of operations, relevance of such factors to the particular executive role being compared and other factors. The Company will use at least 3 peer-group companies when conducting the survey and will conduct such a survey upon hiring a new officer for a new position that did not exist in the company before.

When deciding on increasing an Officer's Base Salary, the following considerations, in addition to the abovementioned, shall be applied: (i) changes to the Officer's scope of responsibilities and business challenges; (ii) the need to retain the officer; (iii) inflation since the last Base Salary update; and (iv) updated market rate (based on a comparative salary survey).
 
Adjustments to Base Salary may be periodically reviewed, considered and approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board.
 
4.3.
Benefits and perquisites
 
The following benefits and perquisites may be granted to the Officers in order, among other things, to comply with legal requirements:
 
·
Pension and savings – subject to applicable law, Officers can choose between any combinations of executive insurance and a pension fund.
 
·
Disability insurance – the Company may purchase disability insurance for Officers; premium will not exceed 2.5% of the monthly salary.

4.4.
Annual Cash Bonus

B - 7

Before the beginning of each calendar year, following recommendation of the CEO (and with respect to the CEO, following recommendation of the chairman of the Compensation Committee), the Compensation Committee and the Board will determine the following for each officer as well as the formula for calculating the bonus payment at the end of the year: In no event will an annual cash bonus be payable if the non-GAAP EBIDTA for that year is negative.
 
Maximum Bonus (cap) :  The maximum bonus is the maximum amount an Officer will be entitled to receive upon full achievement of his objectives. The maximum bonus for each Officer will be according to the table in Section 4.1. The maximum bonus will not include the special bonus as defined in Section 4.5 or the Long Term Bonus as defined in Section 4.6.
 
The total maximum annual cash bonus amounts to which all TIS Officers may be entitled shall not exceed 15% of TIS's non-GAAP EBITDA for that year (the " Ceiling "). Should the Ceiling require a reduction of cash bonuses, the reduction will be proportionate to the maximum cash bonus to which each Officer would have been entitled relative to the total of the maximum cash bonuses of all of the Officers. If, as a result of the Ceiling, an Officer's cash bonus is reduced, that Officer will be entitled to receive restricted share units the value of which will be equal to the amount reduced. The number of restricted share units will be determined by dividing the amount reduced by the closing price of the Company's shares on the last trading day of the year to which the bonus relates, with no reduction for exercise price (which will be par value).  Half of such restricted share units will vest at the end of the first year after the year to which the bonus relates and half at the end of the next year.
 
Objectives The bonus parameters will be determined based on pre-defined measurable and quantified considerations.   Measurable criteria for the Bonus may include (but are not limited to) one or more of the following criteria:
 
Financial indices  of the Bonus mainly include (but are not limited to) any one or more of the following criteria:
 
-
Net Profit
 
-
Operating Profit
 
-
Gross Profit
 
-
EBITDA
 
-
Revenue
 
-
Meeting the Company's budget
 
-
Growth relative to a previous year or years
 
All financial indices mentioned above may use either GAAP or NON-GAAP measurements.

B - 8

The weight which shall be assigned to the component of financial indices, out of the target Bonus, shall be at least 75%.
 
Other indices  of the Bonus may include (but is not limited to) any one or more of the following criteria:
 
-
Define and initiate new products and new markets
 
-
Customer satisfaction
 
-
Compliance with individual milestones (as relevant for each officer)
 
-
Promoting strategic targets
 
In addition, up to 20% of an officer's annual cash bonus may be discretionary, based on the evaluation of his or her supervisors.
 
Thresholds :  The Compensation Committee and the Board may, with respect to any period or Officer, determine one or more thresholds for the payment of the annual cash bonus or any components thereof, in such manner that if the threshold is not achieved, the annual cash bonus or the particular component thereof, with respect to which the threshold was not achieved, will not be paid.
 
Compensation Recovery :  A claw back provision, allowing the recovery of money paid based on incorrect financial statements, which was later corrected in the Company's financial reports (restatement). Claw back limit will be applied only in respect of restatements, up to three years from the applicable Bonus payment, and will not exceed the net amount received by the Officer. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the compensation recovery will not be triggered in the event of a financial restatement required due to changes in the applicable financial reporting standards. The Officer shall repay to the Company the balance between the original Bonus and the Bonus due to the restated financial statements, pursuant to terms that shall be determined by the Board of Directors.
 
Reduction of Bonus : The Board of Directors according to its professional experience and the circumstances may reduce the Bonus, at its sole discretion.
 
4.5.
Special bonus for outstanding achievement
 
In addition to the bonus detailed in Section 4.4 above, Officers may receive a special bonus based on outstanding personal achievement following recommendation and approval of the Compensation Committee   and the Board.
 
Such special bonus shall not exceed the amount of 3 months Base Salary, beyond the Bonus described above, and, except as otherwise permitted by applicable law, it shall be approved by the shareholders in accordance with the Companies Law.
 
4.6.
Long Term Bonuses
 
In addition to the bonuses detailed in Section 4.4 above and in Section 4.5 above, a CEO, CFO, VP, CTO, CMO or Regional Manager or other Officer (provided that the other Officer is not a Director) may be granted a bonus conditional on achievement of Long Term Targets, as may be defined by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors to achieve specific goals of the Company. Long Term Targets will not include Liquidation Events. For example, without limiting the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, the increase of average annual sales over a 3 year period within a given geographic region by 100% relative to the baseline during the 3 year period prior to the target period might be a Long Term Target.

B - 9

The bonuses payable to the Senior Officers in any of the abovementioned events shall be in accordance with the limitations specified in the table on Section 4.1.
 
In the past, the Company has granted long term bonuses to a number of its officers conditionally on the occurrence of a Liquidation Event (as defined below).  Should the entitlement to such a bonus lapse or otherwise become invalid, the Company will not act to extend the validity.
 
4.7.
Equity based compensation
 
TIS' long term incentive is variable equity based compensation, designed to retain Officers, align Officers and shareholders' interests and incentivize achievement of long term goals.
 
The Company shall be entitled to grant to Officers options to purchase shares, restricted shares, restricted share units or any other equity based compensation (" Options ").
 
The grant of equity based compensation shall be in accordance with the Company's equity compensation policies and applicable programs in place from time to time.
 
General guidelines for the grant of Options:
 
·
The Options shall be granted from time to time and be individually determined and awarded according to the performance, skills, qualifications, experience, role and the personal responsibilities of the Officer.
 
·
Vesting schedule  - the Options will vest and become exercisable annually over a period of between 2 to 4 years, in equal parts, or  in other scheduled increments as determined by the Compensation Committee. Provision may be made for accelerated vesting upon closing of a Liquidation Event. A "Liquidation Event" shall mean (i) any consolidation, merger or reorganization of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, own less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity (or in the event shares or ownership interests of an affiliated entity are issued in such transaction, less than 50% of the voting power of such affiliated entity) immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization; (ii) any transaction or series of related transactions to which the shareholders of the Company are parties in which no less than 50% of the Company's outstanding voting power is transferred (e.g. by way of the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's share capital) or (iii)  the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Company of all or substantially all the assets of the Company.

·
Exercise price -  the exercise price for options to purchase shares shall not be less than the closing price of the Company's shares on the day before the grant date or grant date itself. The exercise or acquisition price for restricted shares or restricted share units shall not be less than the par value of the shares. In all cases, even when approval of the Company's shareholders is required for a grant of Options, the grant date will be regarded as the date the Board of Directors approves the grant of the Options.
 
·
Expiry date  - this period shall not be more than 10 years from the date of the issuance.
 
We believe a grant date cap is more appropriate than an exercise date cap as it better aligns long term value creation objectives.
 
Any others terms of the equity based compensation will be determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, in accordance with the Company's equity compensation policies and programs in place from time to time, subject to any applicable law.
 
4.8.
Retirement and termination of service arrangements
 
Advance notice
 
Pursuant to an Officer's employment agreement, he or she shall be entitled to an advance notice prior to termination for a period of up to six (6) months (the " Notice Period ").
 
During the Notice Period, the officer is required to keep performing his duties pursuant to his agreement with the Company, unless the Board of Directors has released the officer from such obligation.
 
During the notice period, officers will be entitled to full payment of compensation.
 
Adjustment period
 
Officers may receive an additional transition period during which the Officer will be entitled to up to an additional 6 months of continued base salary, benefits and perquisites beyond the Advance Notice period described above.
 
When determining such payments, the Compensation Committee and the Board will generally consider, inter alia , the term of service or employment, Company performance during such term, the contribution of the officer to the achievement of the Company's goals and maximization of its profits, the circumstances of termination and the officer's compensation during the term of service or employment.
 
Officers may receive an adjustment period only if they work in the Company for at least three years or in the event of a Liquidation Event in the Company.

4.9.
Inter-Company Compensation Ratio
 
The Company has decided that the ratio between the compensation of each Officer, who is employed in Israel, to the median salary of other employees in Israel, will not be higher than 10:1.
 
The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors consider the above maximal differentials, taking into account the senior position of the Officers and their scope of responsibilities, to be reasonable, fair and appropriate and not likely to have a negative impact on work relations in the Company.
 
4.10.
Directors' Compensation  
 
The directors of the Company shall be entitled to an annual fee, which may be paid quarterly or less frequently, (the " Annual Fee ") in an amount that does not exceed a limit that, initially, will be $20,000 and to a per meeting fee for meetings of the Board and of its committees that they attend in an amount that does not exceed a limit that, initially, will be $700. The Compensation Committee and the Board may increase the initial limits if, based on a survey of other Israeli companies whose shares are traded on stock exchanges outside of Israel (even if also traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange), the market caps of which are less than $100M, the annual fee and the per meeting fees of directors of such companies are generally higher.
 
In addition, the directors may be granted Options, to the grant of which the general guidelines above shall apply.
 
4.11.
Insurance, Indemnification and Release
 
The Company will release all current and future Officers from liability and provide them with indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and its Articles of Association.
 
In addition, until otherwise determined, the Company will purchase and periodically renew, at the Company's expense, insurance coverage in respect of the liability of its current and future directors and executive officers to the maximum extent permitted by law at a maximum annual insurance premium of US$ 125,000, with retention of up to US$ 300,000  and providing for the coverage of up to US$25 million or any other greater amount reasonably determined as appropriate by the Company, and will include coverage with respect to any public offering of shares or other securities of the Company.
 
In addition, such insurance coverage may include "run-off" provisions covering the directors and executive officers liability following termination of service or employment.
 
5.
Management and Control
 
The responsibility for determining the rules of the Compensation Policy, the control thereof and the updating thereof shall rest with the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, based on the Compensation Committee's recommendations.
 
The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors will take into account, while examining the policy, inter alia , the company profits and revenue, market conditions, business plan and the effect of the Policy on the performance of the Company and work-relations in the company.
 
The Compensation Policy shall be reapproved as required by the Companies Law, every three years.

The Company has reserved 1,500,000 authorized but unissued Shares, for the purpose of issuing Awards either under the Plan or under this Appendix all of which may be issued as Incentive Stock Options.   The number of Shares stated in this Section 3 shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9 of the Plan; provided, such reserve of Shares for grants of Incentive Stock Options shall not be increased without the approval of the shareholders of the Company as required pursuant to Section 421 et seq. of the Code.  Shares subject to Awards that are cancelled, forfeited, settled for cash or that expire by their terms will again be available for grant and issuance in connection with the Awards.  To the extent permitted by applicable law or any exchange rule, Shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding grants of any entity acquired in any form of combination by the Company or any affiliate shall not be counted against Shares available for grant as Incentive Stock Options pursuant to the Plan and this Appendix.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all adjustments shall only be made in a manner that does not result in taxation under Code Section 409A and subject to the provisions of Section 9 of the Plan (as modified by this Section 3), in no event shall the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to Incentive Stock Options exceed the number set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3 plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated there under, any Shares that again become available for issuance pursuant to this Section 3.
 
4.             Terms and Conditions of Awards or Sales.
 
4.1     Award Agreement (a) . Each award or sale of Shares under the Plan and this Appendix (other than upon exercise of an Option) shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement between the Participant and the Company.  Such award or sale shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and this Appendix and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and this Appendix and which the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in an Award Agreement.  The provisions of the various Award Agreements entered into under the Appendix need not be identical.
 
C - 3

4.3      Restrictions on Transfer of Shares.   Any Shares awarded or sold under the Plan and this Appendix may be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Committee may determine.  Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement and shall apply in addition to any restrictions that may apply to holders of Shares generally, and subject to the requirements of applicable law.
 
5.             Grants of Options .
 
5.1      Generally .  The Committee shall have full authority to grant Options to Participants pursuant to the terms of this Appendix, the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.  All Options shall be granted by, confirmed by, and subject to the terms of, an Award Agreement to be executed by the Company and the Participant.  In particular, the Committee shall have the authority to determine whether an Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option or is a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
 
5.2      Eligibility . All Participants are eligible to be granted Non-Qualified Stock Options under this Appendix, and only employees of the Company, a Subsidiary or a Parent are eligible to be granted Incentive Stock Options under the Plan and this Appendix, if so employed on the grant date of such Incentive Stock Option,  although it is anticipated that grants hereunder will be granted solely or primarily to U.S. Taxpayers.  Eligibility for the grant of an Option and actual participation in this Appendix and the Plan shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.2 to the contrary, consultants who are not natural persons that provide bona fide services to the Company, a Subsidiary or a Parent, and consultants who provide services in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital raising transaction or directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company's securities shall not be eligible to be granted Options under this Appendix.
 
5.3      Exercise Price . Each Award Agreement for an Option shall state the exercise price per share of the Shares covered by such Option, which option price shall be determined by the Committee and shall be at least equal to the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant of the Option; provided that if the exercise price of an Option is less than Fair Market Value, the terms of such Option shall be structured in a manner that is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. In addition, the terms of Section 6 shall apply to the grant of Incentive Stock Options.
 
C - 4

6.             Special Terms for Incentive Stock Options .
 
6.1      Disqualification .  To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option (whether because of its provisions or the time or manner of its exercise or otherwise), such Option or the portion thereof that does not qualify shall constitute a separate Non-Qualified Stock Option.
 
6.2      Exercise Price .  The exercise price per Share subject to an Incentive Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant of such Incentive Stock Option; provided that the per share exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Share at the time of grant of such Incentive Stock Option; and provided, further, that if an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder, the exercise price per Share shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Share at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option.
 
6.3      Option Term .  The term of each Incentive Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee; provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted; and further provided that the term of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder shall not exceed five years. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any extension of the term of an Option shall comply with Code Section 409A.
 
6.4       Incentive Stock Option Limitations .  To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an employee during any calendar year under this Plan and/or any other stock option plan of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent exceeds $100,000, such Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.  For purposes of this Section 6.4 Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, the Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted, and calculation will be performed in accordance with Code Section 422 and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, if an employee does not remain employed by the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent at all times from the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted until three months prior to the date of exercise thereof (or such other period as required by Section 422 of the Code), such Incentive Stock Option shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.  Should any provision of this Appendix not be necessary in order for the Options to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, or should any additional provisions be required, the Committee may amend this Appendix accordingly, without the necessity of obtaining the approval of the shareholders of the Company, unless required by applicable law.
 
C - 5

6.5       Effect of Termination .   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Appendix, and in the absence of a provision specifying otherwise in the relevant Award Agreement, then with respect to Incentive Stock Options, the following provisions must be met in order for the Award to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code:
 
(a)      in the event that the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent for any reason other than the Participant's death or Disability, the vested Options must be exercised within three (3) months from the effective date of  termination of the Participant's employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent;
 
(b)      in the event that the Participant's employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or Parent terminates as a result of the Participant's death or Disability, the Option must be exercised within twelve (12) months following the Participant's Date of Termination for Disability.
 
To avoid doubt, the provisions of Section 10 of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect and apply to Options granted as Incentive Stock Options.  The restrictions set forth above represent special additional limitations that apply to qualify as Incentive Stock Options under the provisions of the Code.  To avoid doubt, to the extent the provisions of Section 10 of the Plan would result in a longer exercise period or greater leniency than the terms under this section 6.5, a Participant may choose to exercise Options in accordance with the terms of Section 10 of the Plan and the relevant Award Agreement, and not in compliance with the provisions of the Code relating to "incentive stock options".  In that case such Option will not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
 
6.6       Notice of Disposition .  The Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of Shares acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within (i) two years from the date of grant of such Incentive Stock Option or (ii) one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant.
 
6.7       Right to Exercise .  During a Participant's lifetime, an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant.
 
7.              Restricted Shares; Restricted Share Units and Other Share-Based Awards .
 
7.1       Restricted Shares. A grant of Shares of Restricted Stock as provided for in the Plan may, but is not required to, have a purchase price which may be set at the discretion of the Committee.  In the case of a grant of Shares of Restricted Stock for which a purchase price is required, such grant shall not be made until arrangements for payment of the purchase price have been established that are satisfactory to the Committee. In accordance with the terms of the Code, a Participant shall be responsible for payment of all taxes incurred in connection with the grant of Restricted Stock.  Accordingly, upon the vesting of Restricted Stock, or upon making a Section 83(b) Election, a Participant shall make provision for the payment of all required withholding to the Company in accordance with Section 4.2 of this Appendix and Section 20.2 of the Plan.
 
C - 6

7.2       Restricted Share Units and Other Share-Based Awards. The conditions and dates upon which restricted stock units and other equity-based and Share-based awards become vested and nonforfeitable and upon which the Shares underlying the restricted stock units and other equity-based and Share-based awards may be issued, in all cases, will be either exempt from, or subject to compliance with, Code Section 409A.
 
8.             Amendment of Appendix and Individual Grants .
 
8.1      This Appendix may be amended or terminated in accordance with the terms governing the amendment or termination of the Plan; provided, however, that without the approval of the shareholders of the Company entitled to vote in accordance with applicable law, no amendment may be made that would: (i) increase the aggregate number of Shares  that may be issued under this Appendix; (ii) change the classification of individuals eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under this Appendix; (iii) extend the term of the Plan under Section 15 of the Plan; or (iv) require shareholder approval in order to continue to comply with Section 422 of the Code to the extent applicable to Incentive Stock Options or require shareholder approval to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with applicable law, regulations or under the rules of any exchange or system on which the Company's securities are listed or traded at the request of the Company.
 
8.2      The Committee may, to the extent permitted by the Plan and this Appendix, amend the terms of any grant theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to the Plan or as otherwise specifically provided herein, no such amendment or other action by the Committee shall materially impair the previously accrued rights of any holder of such grant without the holder's consent.
 
8.3      Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan or this Appendix to the contrary, the Board may amend the Plan, this Appendix or any grant without the consent of the holder thereof if the Board determines that such amendment is required or advisable for the Company, the Plan, this Appendix or any grant to satisfy, comply with or meet the requirements of any law, regulation, rule or accounting standard, provided, however, that the Board may not materially amend the Plan and/or this Appendix with respect to Participants without obtaining shareholder approval.  For this purpose, the following shall be considered material amendments requiring shareholder approval: (i) increasing the number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan and this Appendix (other than in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan), and (ii) as otherwise may be required by applicable laws (including, without limitation, to obtain ISO status).
 
9.              Compliance With Code Section 409A.
 
Although the Company does not guarantee to a Participant any particular tax treatment of Awards, Awards will be designed and operated in such a manner that is intended to be exempt from the application, or in compliance with the requirements, of Code Section 409A.  Each Award granted pursuant to the Plan, this Appendix and the applicable Award Agreement is intended to comply with (or be exempt from) the requirements of Code Section 409A and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent.  In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on the Participant by Section 409A of the Code or for any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
 
10.          Limits on Transfer .
 
No Award shall be assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Options shall be exercisable, during the Participant's lifetime, only by the Participant.
