                                       4


         (c) Effect of Board's Decision. All decisions, determinations and
interpretations of the Board shall be final and binding on all Optionees.


         (d) No Liability of Board. No member of the Board of Directors shall be
liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the
Plan or any Options granted there under. Subject to the provisions of Applicable
Law, each member of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) reasonably incurred
by him, or any liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with
the approval of the Company) arising out of any act or omission to act in
connection with the Plan unless arising out of such member's own fraud or bad
faith, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Such indemnification shall be
in addition to any rights of indemnification the member may have as a director
or otherwise under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, any agreement,
any vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, insurance policy or
otherwise.

     5. Eligibility.

         (a) With respect to Options which are granted subject to the Ordinance,
102 Capital Gains Track Options may be granted only to Employees, Officers and
Directors; Options granted to other Service Providers shall be 3(I) Options.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, 102 Capital Gains Track Options may not be
granted to Employees, Officers or Directors who are "controlling shareholders",
as defined in the Ordinance. With respect to Options which are granted subject
to the Code, Non statutory Stock Options may be granted to Service Providers,
and Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.

         (b) The type of Option granted shall be identified and designated in
the Option Agreement.

         (c) Notwithstanding the designation of an Option as an Incentive Stock
Option, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by
the Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any
Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non
statutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 5(c)(i), Incentive Stock
Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The
Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option
with respect to such Shares is granted.

         (d) Neither the Plan nor any Option shall confer upon any Optionee any
right to continue the Optionee's relationship as a Service Provider with the
Company, nor shall it be construed to impose any obligation on the Company to
continue the Optionee's relationship with the Company as a Service Provider, nor
shall it interfere in any way with the Company's right to terminate such
relationship at any time, with or without Cause (as hereinafter defined). The
vesting of the Option pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in the Option
Agreement is earned only by continuing as a Service Provider at the will of the
Company, not through the act of being hired, being granted an Option or
acquiring Shares. In the event that an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider
with the Company, the unvested portion of his or her Options shall not vest and
shall not become exercisable.


                                       5


     6. Terms and Conditions of Options

         (a) Terms and Conditions of 102 Capital Gains Track Options.

               (i) Effectiveness of 102 Capital Gains Track Options. In no event
shall a 102 Capital Gains Track Option be granted prior to the expiration of a
period of thirty (30) days following submission to the Israeli Tax Commissioner
of the Company's (i) election to use the Capital Gains Track pursuant to Amended
Section 102, (ii) request for approval of the Plan, and (iii) request for
approval of the Trustee.

               (ii) Delivery to Trustee; Release by Trustee. Each 102 Capital
Gains Track Option granted to an Optionee and each certificate for Shares
acquired pursuant to the exercise thereof shall be issued to and registered in
the name of a Trustee and shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Optionee
(the "Trust") for the Required Holding Period. After termination of the Required
Holding Period, the Trustee may release such 102 Capital Gains Track Option and
any such Shares, provided that (A) the Trustee has received an acknowledgment
from the Israeli Income Tax Authority that the Optionee has paid any applicable
tax due pursuant to the Ordinance; (B) the Trustee withholds any applicable tax
due pursuant to the Ordinance; or (C) the Company undertakes to the Trustee that
it will deduct any applicable tax from the salary of those Optionees who are
employees of the Company, in accordance with an approval received from the
Income Tax Authority. The Trustee shall not release any 102 Capital Gains Track
Option or Shares issued upon exercise of such Option prior to the full payment
of the Optionee's tax liabilities.

               (iii) Compliance with 102 Capital Gains Track. Each 102 Capital
Gains Track Option shall be subject to the terms of the 102 Capital Gains Track
of Amended Section 102, which shall be deemed an integral part of the 102
Capital Gains Track Option and which shall prevail over any term contained in
the Plan or Option Agreement which is not consistent therewith. Any provision of
the 102 Capital Gains Track and any approvals by the Income Tax Commissioner not
expressly specified in the Plan or Option Agreement which are necessary to
receive or maintain any tax benefit pursuant to the 102 Capital Gains Track
shall be binding on the Optionee. In addition, 102 Capital Gains Track Options
shall be subject to the following:

                    (A) The Trustee and the Optionee granted a 102 Capital Gains
Track Option shall comply with the Ordinance, and the terms and conditions of
the Trust Agreement entered into between the Company and the Trustee. For
avoidance of doubt, it is reiterated that compliance with the Ordinance
specifically includes compliance with the Rules. Further, the Optionee agrees to
execute any and all documents which the Company or the Trustee may reasonably
determine to be necessary in order to comply with the Ordinance and,
particularly, the Rules.

                    (B) Upon receipt of a 102 Capital Gains Track Option, the
Optionee shall sign an undertaking to release the Trustee from any liability in
respect of any action or decision duly taken and bona fide executed in relation
to this Plan, such Option or any shares acquired upon the exercise thereof.


                                       6


               (iv) Method of Exercise of 102 Capital Gains Track Options.
Exercise of a 102 Capital Gains Track Option shall be by written notice to the
Company, which must state the election to exercise the Option, the number of
whole Shares for which the Option is being exercised and such other
representations and agreements as to the Optionee's investment intent with
respect to such Shares as may be required pursuant to the provisions of the
Option Agreement. The written notice must be signed by the Optionee, and must be
delivered in person, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested,
by confirmed facsimile transmission, or by such other means as the Company may
permit, to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, the Controller of the
Company or the legal counsel of the Company, or other authorized representative
of the Company, prior to the termination of the Option. The exercise of a 102
Capital Gains Track Option must be accompanied by full payment of the aggregate
exercise price in a form authorized by the Plan for the number of Shares being
purchased. The Company shall provide notice to the Trustee of the exercise of a
102 Capital Gains Track Option in accordance with the requirements of Amended
Section 102.

               (v) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Shares resulting from the
exercise of 102 Capital Gains Track Options shall not be released from the Trust
before the completion of the Required Holding Period. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Trustee may, pursuant to a written request, release and transfer
such Shares to a designated third party, provided that both of the following
conditions have been fulfilled prior to such transfer: (A) payment has been
rendered to the tax authorities of all taxes required to be paid upon the
release and transfer of the shares, and confirmation of such payment has been
received by the Trustee and (B) the Trustee has received written confirmation
from the Company that all requirements for such release and transfer have been
fulfilled according to the terms of the Company's corporate documents, the Plan,
the Option Agreement and any applicable law.

               (vi) Meeting of Shareholders. Following the exercise of any 102
Capital Gains Track Option, the Optionee shall have all of the rights of a
shareholder at any meeting of the share holders of the Company or in connection
with any action to be taken without a meeting by written consent of the
shareholders of the Company, notwithstanding that the Shares acquired upon
exercise of such Option are held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Optionee.

         (b) Grants Made Under Section 3(i). The Board may choose to deposit the
Options granted pursuant to Section 3(i) with a trustee. In such event, the
trustee shall hold such Options in trust for the benefit of the Optionees, until
exercised by the Optionee, pursuant to the Company's instructions from time to
time. If determined by the Board, the trustee shall be responsible for
withholding any taxes for which an Optionee may become liable upon the exercise
of Options.


                                       7


     7. Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the
Board. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner
terminated under Section 14 hereunder.

     8. Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option
Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten (10) years
from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted
to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing
more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or of any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be five (5)
years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the
Option Agreement.

     9. Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

         Unless otherwise provided by the Board, the per share exercise price
for each Share to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of
payment, shall be its Fair Market Value, as determined by the Board, but shall
be subject to the following:

               (i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option:

                    (A) granted to an Employee who at the time of such grant
owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or of any Parent or Subsidiary, the exercise
price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date
of grant.

                    (B) Granted to an Employee other than an Employee described
in immediately preceding subsection (A), the per Share exercise price shall be
no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

               (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a
per Share exercise price other than as required above pursuant to a merger or
other corporate transaction, as permitted by the relevant provisions of the Code
or of the Treasury Regulations.

         (b) The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by
the Board (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at
the time of grant). Such consideration may consist of (1) cash, (2) check, or
(3) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making its
determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Board shall
consider whether acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to
benefit the Company.

     10. Exercise of Option.

         (a) Procedure for Exercise. Any Option granted hereunder shall be
exercisable according to the terms hereof at such times and under such
conditions as determined by the Board and set forth in the Option Agreement.
Options granted to Employees, Officers, Directors and Consultants shall become
exercisable at a rate determined by the Board at the date of grant.

                                       8


Unless the Board provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall
be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence. An Option may not be exercised for
a fraction of a Share.

               (i) Exercise and Payment for Shares. An Option shall be deemed
exercised when the Company receives: (A) written or electronic notice of
exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to
exercise the Option, and (B) full payment for the Shares with respect to which
the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration and
method of payment authorized by the Board and permitted by the Option Agreement
and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the
name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the
Optionee and his or her spouse.

               (ii) Rights as a Stockholder. Until the Shares are issued (as
evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company) no right to vote or right to receive
dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to such
Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or
cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No
adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right the record date for which
is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 12 of
the Plan.

               (iii) Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a
decrease in the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the
Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the
Option is exercised.

               (iv) Shares issued upon exercise of a 102 Capital Gains Track
Option during the required Holding Period shall be issued in the name of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Optionee. The Trustee shall have no rights to
equity participation as to the Shares held in escrow.

         (b) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an Optionee
ceases to be a Service Provider, unless due to such Optionee's death or
Disability, or unless the Optionee is terminated for "Cause", as defined below,
such Optionee may exercise his Option within such period of time as is specified
in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of
termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option
as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the
Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for one (1) year,
following the Optionee's termination; provided, however, that notwithstanding
the above, Incentive Stock Options shall remain exercisable for three (3) months
following the Optionee's termination and not one year. If, on the date of
termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his entire Option, the Shares
covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If,
after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his Option within the time
specified by the Board, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by
such Option shall revert to the Plan.

               (i) Cause. If an Optionee is terminated for Cause, then Options
which were previously granted shall not vest, and Options which had vested shall
no longer be exercisable and shall no longer be of any force or effect,
immediately upon termination of the Optionee for Cause. Unless otherwise
determined by the Board, Cause shall mean any of the

                                       9


following: (A) an act of dishonesty towards the Company; (B) Optionee's
conviction of a felony, unless the Board of Directors of the Company (without
the attendance or voting of the Optionee, (if applicable) reasonably determines
that such conviction will not adversely affect the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or its reputation or the ability of the Optionee to effectively
serve the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (C) Optionee's serious misconduct
related to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (D) Optionee's continued
violations of his employment or service duties for a period of at least 30 days
after he has received a written demand for performance from the Company which
specifically sets forth the factual basis for the Company's belief that Optionee
has not substantially performed his duties.

               (ii) For purposes of this Plan, "termination" (whether or not for
Cause) shall be deemed to occur on the earlier of the date on which the Company
or the Optionee, as the case may be, gives notice of the Optionee's cessation to
be a Service Provider, and the date on which Optionee actually effectively
ceases to be a Service Provider.

         (c) Disability of Optionee. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service
Provider as a result of the Optionee's Disability, the Optionee may exercise his
Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the
extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later
than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the
Option shall remain exercisable for one (1) year following the Optionee's
termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to
his entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option
shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise
his Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the
Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

         (d) Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider,
the Optionee's Option may be exercised within such period of time as is
specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the
date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Option Agreement) by the Optionee's estate or by a
person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance.
In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall
remain exercisable for one (1) year following the Optionee's termination If, at
the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to the entire Option, the
Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to
the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein,
the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert
to the Plan.

         (e) Buyout Provisions. The Board may at any time and from time to time
offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted,
based on such terms and conditions as the Board shall establish and communicate
to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made. No such offer shall
obligate such Optionee to relinquish his Option.

     11. Non-Transferability of Options. Options may not be sold, pledged,
assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner whatsoever
other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be
exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by

                                       10


the Optionee. The restrictions set forth in this Section 11 shall not apply in
the case of the buy out of an Option pursuant to Section 10(e) above.

     12. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Asset Sale.

         (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the
stockholders of the Company, the number of Ordinary Shares covered by each
outstanding Option, and the number of Ordinary Shares which have been authorized
for issuance under the Plan or through Incentive Stock Options but as to which
no Options have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon
cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well as the price per share of
Ordinary Shares covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued
Ordinary Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock
dividend, combination or reclassification of the Ordinary Shares, or any other
increase or decrease in the number of issued Ordinary Shares effected without
receipt of consideration by the Company. The conversion of any convertible
securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without
receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose
determination in all respects shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as
expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any
class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall
affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the
number or price of Ordinary Shares subject to an Option.

         (b) Merger, Acquisition, or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger of the
Company with or into another corporation or an acquisition of all or
substantially all of the shares of the Company, such that more than 50% of the
outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting company are owned in
the aggregate by persons or entities other than the shareholders of the Company,
or in the event of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company (each such event, a "Transaction"), each outstanding Option shall be
assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor
corporation or by a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the
event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the
Option, then the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine to accelerate, in
full or in part, all or a portion of the Options then outstanding. In the event
that the Board determines to fully or partly accelerate the Options of any
Optionee, then the Board shall notify the Optionee, in writing or
electronically, that such Options are exercisable to the extent accelerated for
a period of ten (10) days from the date of such notice, and that any unexercised
Options shall terminate upon the expiration of such period.

     13. Time of Granting Options. The date of grant of an Option shall, for all
purposes, be the date on which the Board makes the determination granting such
Option, or such other date as is determined by the Board, as set forth in the
Option Agreement.

     14. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

         (a) The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the
Plan.


                                       11


         (b) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration,
suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee,
unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Board, which
agreement must be in writing and executed by the Optionee and the Company.
Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Board's ability to exercise the
powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options granted under the Plan
prior to the date of such termination.

     15. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares - Legal Compliance

Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the
exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall
comply with Applicable Laws and shall be approved to counsel for the Company
with respect to such compliance.

     16. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain
authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is
deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale
of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect
of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority
shall not have been obtained.

     17. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, shall
at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

     18. Stockholder Approval. The Plan shall be subject to approval by the
stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is
adopted by the Board. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the degree
and manner required under Applicable Laws.

     19. Information to Optionees. The Company shall not be required to provide
to each Optionee copies of annual financial statements or any other document
unless, in the opinion of legal counsel, Applicable Law requires such
disclosure.

     20. Tax Consequences. Any tax consequences arising from the grant or
exercise of any Options from the payment for Shares covered thereby or from any
other event or act (whether of the Optionee or of the Company or its
Subsidiaries) hereunder, shall be borne solely by the Optionee. Furthermore,
such Optionee shall agree to indemnify the Company or Subsidiary that employs
the Optionee, and the Trustee, if applicable, and hold them harmless against and
from any and all liability for any such tax or interest or penalty thereon,
including without limitation, liabilities relating to the necessity to withhold,
or to have withheld, any such tax from any payment made to the Optionee. Except
as otherwise required by law, the Company and the Trustee, if applicable, shall
not be obligated to exercise any Options on behalf of an Optionee until all tax
consequences arising from the exercise of such options are resolved in a manner
reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Trustee.

     21. Miscellaneous.

         (a) Rights Deriving from Employee-Employer Relationship. Any gain or
income credited or attributable to an Optionee (or deemed as such) as a result
of the grant or exercise of an

                                       12


Option will not be taken into account when calculating the basis for entitlement
of the Optionee to any social rights or benefits, or any other benefits deriving
from an employee-employer relationship between the Optionee and the Company or a
Subsidiary of the Company.

     (b) Multiple Agreements. The terms of each Option may differ from other
Options granted under the Plan at the same time, or at any other time. The Board
may also grant more than one Option to a given Optionee during the term of the
Plan, either in addition to, or in substitution for, one or more Options
previously granted to that Optionee. The grant of multiple Options may be
evidenced by a single grant or multiple grants, as determined by the Board.

     (c) Non-Exclusivity of the Plan. The adoption of the Plan by the Board
shall not be construed as amending, modifying or rescinding any previously
approved incentive arrangement or as creating any limitations on the power of
the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable,
including, without limitation, the granting of stock options otherwise than
under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only
in specific cases.

     (d) Construction. Whenever applicable in this Plan, the singular and the
plural, and the masculine, feminine and neuter shall be freely interchangeable,
as the context requires. The Section headings or titles shall not in any way
control the construction of the language herein, such headings or titles having
been inserted solely for the purpose of simplified reference. Words such as
"herein", "hereof", "hereto", "hereinafter", "hereby", and "hereinabove" when
used in this Plan refer to this Plan as a whole, unless otherwise required by
context.

     (e) Brokerage Activity; Commissions and other Expenses. The Company, at its
sole discretion, may determine that brokerage-related activity of the Plan
("BROKERAGE ACTIVITY") be handled by a third party. In such a case, each
Optionee may be required to, and if requested will, enter into an agreement with
such third party regarding the Brokerage Activity in his or her Optioned Stocks.
Any reasonable commissions and/or expenses arising from the exercise of any
Options and/or any disposition of the Optioned Stocks shall be borne solely by
the Optionee.

     (f) Governing Law and Jurisdiction. The Plan shall be governed, construed
and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel, without
giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof, but shall be
interpreted, to the extent possible, in order to maintain and preserve the tax
treatment and tax qualifications pursuant to the Ordinance, the Code and other
applicable foreign tax laws. It is the intention of the Company that Incentive
Stock Options granted under the Plan qualify as such under Section 422 of the
Code. The applicable courts of Tel Aviv, Israel shall have sole jurisdiction
over all matters arising in connection with any dispute or matter arising out of
or connected with this Plan and the Options granted hereunder.
