Subscription Procedure -













	
  

	
(a) Upon your receipt prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date (by mail or delivery), as Subscription Agent, of (ii) any Subscription Certificate completed and endorsed for exercise, as provided on the reverse side of the Subscription Certificate (except as provided in paragraph 8 hereof), and (ii) payment in full of the Subscription Price in U.S. funds by wire, bank check or money order payable at par (without deduction for bank service charges or otherwise) to the order of American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you shall as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date, but after performing the procedures described in subparagraphs (b) and (c) below, mail to the subscriber’s registered address on the books of the Company certificates representing the Ordinary Shares duly subscribed for (pursuant to the Basic Subscription Right and the Additional Subscription Privilege) and furnish a list of all such information to the Company.













	
  

	
(b) As soon as practicable after the Expiration Date you shall calculate the number of Ordinary Shares to which each subscriber is entitled pursuant to the Additional Subscription Privilege. The Additional Subscription Privilege may only be exercised by holders who subscribe to all the Ordinary Shares that can be subscribed for under the Basic Subscription Right.  The Ordinary Shares available for additional subscriptions will be those that have not been subscribed and paid for pursuant to the Basic Subscription Right (the”Remaining Rights”).  Where there are sufficient Remaining Rights to satisfy all additional subscriptions by holders exercising their rights under the Additional Subscription Privilege, each holder shall be allotted the number of additional Ordinary Shares subscribed for. If the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares subscribed for under the Additional Subscription Privilege exceeds the number of Remaining Rights, the number of Remaining Rights allotted to each participant in the Additional Subscription Privilege shall be the product (disregarding fractions) obtained by multiplying the number of Remaining Rights by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of Rights subscribed for by that participant under the Additional Subscription Privilege and the denominator is the aggregate number of Remaining Units subscribed for by all participants under the Additional Subscription Privilege. Any fractional Right to which persons exercising their Additional Subscription Privilege would otherwise be entitled pursuant to such allocation shall be rounded to the next whole Right.

If a lesser number of Ordinary Shares is allotted to a subscriber under the Additional Subscription Privilege than the subscriber has tendered payment for, you shall remit the difference to the subscriber without interest or deduction at the same time as certificates representing the Ordinary Shares allotted pursuant to the Additional Subscription Privilege are mailed.













	
  

	
(e) Funds received by you pursuant to the Basic Subscription Right and the Additional Subscription Privilege shall be held by you in a segregated account. Upon mailing certificates representing the Ordinary Shares and refunding subscribers for additional Ordinary Shares subscribed for but not allocated, if any, you shall promptly remit to the Company all funds received in payment of the Subscription Price for Ordinary Shares sold in the Rights Offering.








	
  

	
 








	
  

	
(f) Record Holders that reside in Israel (“Israeli Record Holders”) may elect to exercise their Rights by paying the subscription payment in U.S. dollars or in New Israeli Shekels as set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “The Rights Offering–Method of Exercise of Rights for Record Holders.” The Israeli Rights Holders may exercise their Rights by delivery directly to the Company on or prior to midnight Israel time on the Expiration Date of payment in full of the Subscription Price for each Right being exercised in U.S. dollars or in New Israeli Shekels by bank check or wire transfer payable to the Company, all in accordance with the procedures described in the Prospectus.
