Options granted under our Second 1998 Plan are not generally transferable by the optionee, and each option is exercisable during the lifetime of the<br />

optionee only by such optionee. Options granted under the Second 1998 Plan must generally be exercised within three months of the end of the optionee’s<br />

status as our employee or consultant or within twelve months after such optionee’s termination by death or disability, but in no event later than the<br />

expiration of the option’s term. The exercise price of all incentive and nonstatutory share options granted under the Second 1998 Plan must be at least<br />

equal to the fair market value of our ordinary shares on the date of grant, except in the event of options granted in connection with certain merger and<br />

acquisition transactions. With respect to any participant who owns shares possessing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding<br />

share capital, the exercise price of any incentive share option granted must equal at least 110% of the fair market value on the grant date and the term of<br />

such incentive share option must not exceed five years. The term of all other options granted under the Second 1998 Plan may not exceed ten years. Some<br />

holders of share options granted under the Second 1998 Plan are entitled to participate in rights offerings that may be made by us to our shareholders.<br />

Our Second 1998 Plan provides that in the event we merge with or into another corporation or sale of substantially all of our assets, each outstanding<br />

option will be assumed or an equivalent option will be substituted by the successor corporation. If the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute<br />

for our options as described in the preceding sentence, the options will terminate as of the closing.<br />

2004 Israeli Share Option Plan<br />

Our 2004 Israeli Share Option Plan provides for the granting of options to employees, directors and consultants under either Section 102 or Section 3<br />

(9) of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance. As of June 30, 2006, options to purchase 764,000 ordinary shares were granted under the 2004 Israeli Share<br />

Option Plan. 600,000 options were granted at an exercise price of $18.56, of which one-third vested on December 31, 2004, two-ninths vested on<br />

December 31, 2005 and the remaining four-ninths will vest in two equal portions on December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007. These options will expire<br />

on June 30, 2008. In addition, options to purchase 164,000 shares were granted at an exercise price of $23.02, of which one-third vested on December 31,<br />

2005 and the remaining two-thirds will vest in three equal portions on December 31, 2006, December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008. These options will<br />

expire on June 30, 2009. The options granted under our 2004 Israeli Share Option Plan are all subject to the “capital gains taxation route” under Section<br />

102 of the Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961, which generally provides for a reduced tax rate of 25% on gains realized upon the exercise of<br />

options and sale of underlying shares, subject to the fulfillment of certain procedures and conditions including the deposit of such options (or shares issued<br />

upon their exercise) for a requisite period of time with a trustee approved by the Israeli tax authorities. For as long as the shares issued upon exercise of<br />

such options are registered in the name of the trustee, the voting rights with respect to such shares shall remain with the trustee. Under the “capital gains<br />

taxation route,” we are not entitled to recognize a deduction for tax purposes on the gain recognized by the employee upon sale of the shares underlying the<br />

options. As of June 30, 2006, 25,289 options granted under our 2004 Israeli Share Option Plan have been exercised, 30,747 options were forfeited and<br />

707,964 options remained outstanding..<br />

The 2004 Israeli Share Option Plan is administered by our board of directors or by a share incentive committee or other committee of the board,<br />

subject to applicable law. The plan administrator has the power to determine the terms of the options granted, including the exercise price, the number of<br />

shares subject to each option, the exercisability of the option and the form of consideration payable upon such exercise. In the event of a merger or sale of<br />

substantially all of our assets or stock, our board or a committee administrating the plan has discretion as to whether to cause outstanding options to be<br />

assumed by the successor company, substituted for successor company options or automatically vested in full. Subject to applicable law and regulations,<br />

our board of directors has the authority to amend, suspend or terminate the 2004 Israeli Share Option Plan, provided that no such action may affect any<br />

ordinary share previously issued and sold or any option previously granted under the plan.<br />

Options granted under our 2004 Israeli Share Option Plan are not generally transferable by the optionee, and each option is exercisable during the<br />

lifetime of the optionee only by such optionee. Options granted under the 2004 Israeli Share Option Plan may generally be exercised in circumstances of<br />

termination by the grantee until the termination date and in certain circumstances in which the termination was initiated by the employer, within a period of<br />

fifteen days following termination, or within six months after such optionee’s termination by death or disability, but in no event later than the expiration of<br />

the option’s term and all to the extent that such options are vested at such dates. The term of other options granted under the 2004 Israeli Share Option Plan<br />

may not exceed ten years.<br />
