    Cooperation
      Agreement

     

    This
      Cooperation Agreement is entered into this 18th 
      day of
      October, 2006 by and between More Energy Ltd., a company organized under the
      laws of Israel (“More”), and Israel Aircraft Industries Ltd., a company
      organized under the laws of Israel (“IAI”).

     

    WHEREAS,
      More is in the business of developing and commercializing fuel cell technologies
      for various applications and is the exclusive representative of Oy Hydrocell,
      a
      company organized under the laws of Finland (“OY”) which also has developed a
      unique fuel cell capability;

     

    WHEREAS,
      IAI is a leading international aerospace company with inter alia business units
      in the business of developing unmanned air vehicle systems (“UAV”);

     

    WHEREAS
      the Parties are interested in carrying out programs for the development of
      fuel
      cell system solutions for electrically powered UAV Systems, beginning with
      a
      system feasibility and test program for a fuel cell system designed to achieve
      the Specification attached hereto as Annex 1 (the “Specification”), all in
      accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein;

     

    NOW
      THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:

     

    
      	
            	1.	
              GENERAL
                PURPOSE

            

    

     

    (A)  The
      Parties are interested in developing a fuel cell system for use as an electrical
      power supply for an unmanned air vehicle system generally with the
      characteristics set froth in Annex I hereto (Specification). It is understood
      that More will be engaging OY as its major subcontractor for this project,
      though More will be the prime contractor and integrator for this project, with
      overall responsibility to IAI for this project. This agreement has two
      phases:

     

    (1)  Phase
      1
      will be the design and build by More of a breadboard level demonstration fuel
      cell unit to demonstrate the functionality of the system in power (Watts)
      operating for a minimum time (  *   ) together with an
      analysis of the feasibility and process for achieving the specified weight
      for
      the qualified system. At the end of Phase 1 the parties will determine the
      level
      of success and make a decision whether to enter into Phase 2 (with modifications
      as agreed) or to conclude the agreement at Phase 1. Phase 1 is to be completed
      within a 6 month period. If Phase 2 is to be carried out, the parties will
      mutually agree on a detailed Phase 2 document including an SOW, schedule, test
      program, price and payment terms.

     

    (2)  Phase
      2
      would be a full scale development and qualification of the system. The projected
      Phase 2 schedule would run for approximately 18 months and, depending on the
      results of Phase 1, have a ROM budget cost of US$ 1.5 million.

     

    (3)  More
      will
      use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the attached Phase 1 SOW and
      to
      do so substantially in accordance with the schedule forming part of such SOW.
      IAI will carry out its activities under the SOW in a timely manner so as to
      facilitate More’s activity.

     

    
      * Subject
        to a request for confidential treatment; Separately filed with the
        Commission.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (4)  More
      will
      carry out internal studies to improve the system specific gravimetric and
      volumetric energy density of its unique ALKALINE with liquid electrolyte fuel
      cell technology as a later generation solution for the power source and will
      provide IAI with the results of that analysis from time to time.

    (A)  It
      is
      recognized that technical information may be disclosed by one party to the
      other
      in the course of the activities contemplated by this Agreement and that the
      disclosing party may desire to protect such information against unrestricted

      or disclosure to others. To provide protection for such information, each party
      agrees to respect such proprietary information in accordance with the provisions
      of this Article 4.

     

    (B)  For
      the
      purpose of this Agreement the term “Proprietary Information” shall mean all

    (F)  Upon
      the
      written request of the disclosing party at any time and upon the termination
      of
      this agreement, the recipient party shall return all copies of the Proprietary

      Agreement if the parties proceed to Phase 2.

     

    (C)  Both
      parties are agreeing to the foregoing exclusivity provisions predicated on
      the
      advice of counsel that no approvals are required under the Restraint of Trade
      Law (5748-1988) based, among other things, on a block exemption in accordance
      with Section 15A of such law.

     

    
      	
            	6.	
              TERM
                AND TERMINATION

            

    

     

    (A)  Unless

    (B)  This
      Agreement may be terminated:

     

    (1)  By
      either
      Party, upon a material breach of any of the covenants contained herein by the
      other party if such breach continues uncured for a period of ten (10) days
      after
      written notice of such breach; or

     

    (2)  By
      mutual
      agreement.

     

    Termination
      of this Agreement, for whatever reason, shall not prejudice or affect the
      accrued rights or claims and liabilities of either party to this Agreement,
      including any accrued and outstanding payments hereunder and rights in any
      products/technologies hereunder. Notwithstanding termination of this agreement,
      the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 will continue to bind the
      parties.

     

    
      	
            	7.

    The
      rights and liabilities of the parties hereto may not be assigned to any third
      party without the prior written consent of the other party, provided that either
      party may assign this agreement to a parent company at any tier by written
      notice to the other party hereto if such parent company assumes in writing
      all
      obligations of its subsidiary hereunder.

      Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State
      of Israel. If any provision of this Agreement is found by an arbitrator or
      court
      of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed
      and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and
