    Therefore,
      it
      is
      hereby stipulated and agreed between the parties as follows:

     

    
      	1.  	
              The
                preface to this Addendum constitutes an indivisible and integral
                part
                thereof.

            

    

     

    
      	2.  	
              Unless
                otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms appearing herein
                shall
                have the meanings attributed to them in the Employment Agreement
                or, where
                expressly so indicated, in the Agreement and Plan of Merger entered
                into
                as of February 28, 2006 (the “Merger

      	4.  	
              As
                of the Addendum Effective Date, the terms of Employee’s engagement shall
                be modified as follows:

            

    

     

    
      	4.1.  	
              Annual
                Bonus

            

    

     

    
      	4.1.1.  	
              In
                addition to the Salary and all other rights and benefits provided
                for
                under Exhibit A of the Employment Agreement, and commencing with
                the 2006
                calendar year, the Employee shall be entitled to an annual bonus
                for each
                calendar year in which he was employed in a gross amount calculated
                as
                follows(the “Annual
                Bonus”):

            

    

     

    A
      gross
      amount equal to 2% (two percent) of that portion of the Group’s net income (as
      such term is defined in Section 2.15 of the Merger Agreement) which exceeds
      the
      amount of the net incomeof the Group in the immediately preceding calendar
      year
      (the “Profit
      Increase”).
      

     

    For
      the
      removal of doubt, it is hereby clarified that the baseline for the calculation
      of the Profit Increase for the 2006 calendar year shall be the net income of
      the

      Corporation for 2005 show no net income then the baseline amount shall be
      zero.

     

    
      	4.1.2.  	
              The
                Annual Bonus shall be paid within five (5) Business Days following
                the
                filing of the Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10K with the Securities and
                Exchange Commission for the relevant year. Subject to the provisions
                of
                Section 4.3 of this Addendum, in the event of a termination of the
                Employment Agreement prior to completion of any calendar year and/or
                prior
                to the publication of the financial statements for a given calendar
                year,
                Employee shall be entitled to the proportionate share of the Annual
                Bonus
                and the Target Bonuses (based upon a calculation of the applicable
                bonus
                for the entire calendar year in which the Employment Agreement has
                been

    In
      the
      event that (i) the Company terminates this Agreement for any reason, other
      than
      a Termination for Cause (defined below); or (ii) the Employee terminates this
      Agreement for Justifiable Reason (defined below), Employee shall be entitled
      to
      the following:

     

    (a)
      Salary and benefits set forth in Sections 3, 4, and 5 of the Employment
      Agreement which would have been due to him in a twelve-month period following
      the furnishing of the Termination Notice (the “Severance
      Period”);
      and

     

    (b)
      un-expired Additional Options not yet vested as of the effective date of
      termination shall not expire and shall vest upon the triggering events, if
      applicable, set forth in Section 4.2.1 even if those occur after termination;
      and

     

    (c)
      immediate vesting upon the effective date of termination of all unvested
      Corporation Options (defined below);

     

    (d)
      extension of the exercise period of all Corporation Options and all vested
      Additional Options to the full term of said options pursuant to the relevant
      share option plan in place with regard to said options, and in the absence
      of a
      provision in the share option plan in this regard, the full term of said options
      shall be 10 years or earlier upon so called "Change of Control" events as set
      forth in the Company's Israeli Share Option Plan ("Plan");
      upon a
      so called "Change of Control" event such Corporation Options and Additional
      Options shall be subject to adjustment/swap/early exercise in the same manner
      as
      other Options subject to the Plan.

     

    (e)
      Target Bonuses and Annual Bonuses which would have been due to him during the
      Severance Period; In the event that such Severance Period ends prior to
      completion of any calendar year and/or prior to the publication of the financial
      statements for a given calendar year, Employee shall be entitled to the
      proportionate share of the Annual Bonus and the Target Bonuses (based upon
      a
      calculation of the applicable bonus for the entire calendar year in which the
      Severance Period ends), as the case may be, which shall be paid within the
      timeframe provided for herein. 

     

    In
      addition to the foregoing, in the event that the First Share Price Trigger
      during
      any twenty (20) Trading Days during any thirty (30) consecutive Trading Day
      period is
      achieved following the effective date of termination, but before the lapse
      of
      the fourth anniversary from Closing, the Company's obligation to pay Employee
      the Share Price Bonus and the Second Bonus shall survive said termination and
      be
      payable upon the meeting of any of the conditions in accordance with Section
      4.2.4.1 and 4.2.4.2 as applicable.

     

    For
      the
      avoidance of doubt, the 90-day notice period set forth in the first paragraph
      of
      Section 2.2 above shall overlap with the Severance Period. 

     

    “Termination
      for Cause”
shall
      mean a termination by the Company as a result of (i) a material breach by the
      Employee of the Employment Agreement which is not cured by the Employee within
      thirty (30) days after his receipt of notice thereof from the Company; and/or
      (ii) any action by the Employee to intentionally harm the Company which is
      not
      rectified by the Employee within thirty (30) days after his receipt of notice
      thereof from the Company (iii) any act of moral turpitude by Employee or action
      by the employee to intentionally harm the Corporation.

     

    “Justifiable
      Reason”
shall
      mean (i) an action by the Company to substantially change the functions, rights
      or duties of the Employee; and/or (ii) a material breach by the Company of
      any
      of the provisions of this Agreement, as amended by the Addendum, which is not
      cured within thirty (30) days of the date the Company was notified, in writing,
      of such breach; and/or (iii) a requirement by Company that the Employee relocate
      to a business location outside of Israel; and/or (iv) any action by the Company
      to intentionally harm the Employee which is not rectified by the Company within
      thirty (30) days after its receipt of notice thereof from the Employee.

                Employee of the Employment Agreement other than for Justifiable Reason
                ,
                then Employee shall only be entitled to (a) Salary and benefits set

                Addendum ), which would have been due to him in a three-month period
                following the furnishing of the Termination Notice. Any Additional
                Options
                and Corporation Options vested prior to expiry of the three months
                period
                shall be exercisable no later than 6 months following such date or
                earlier
                upon so called "Change of Control" events as set forth in the Company's
                Plan; upon a so called "Change of Control" event such Corporation
                Options

                by the

                the Employee that number of shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock,
                pursuant to the Corporation’s share option plan established under Section
                102 of the Israel Tax Ordinance (the “Shares”),
                which upon conversion to shares of Common Stock of the Parent shall
                equal

                to any
                securities held by him which may be triggered by the merger transaction
                among the Group.

                in

                devote the same portion of his business time to the fulfillment of
                his

                and
                the provisions of this Addendum, the provisions of this Addendum
                shall

              For

      	8.  	
              Employee
                confirms that for purposes of severance pay under Israeli law and/or
                his
                Employment Agreement, his employment period commences on January
                1, 2006
                and any service provided by Employee to the Company prior to such
                date in
                any capacity shall not be deemed a period of employment for severance
                pay
                purposes. Employee hereby fully and forever waives any claims and/or
                demands for severance pay for the period preceding January 1, 2006.
                Employee further confirms that other than an outstanding debt which,
                as of
                the date of signing this Addendum amounts to US$261,000 (two hundred
                sixty
                one thousand US dollars) and reimbursement of expenses in the ordinary
                course of business, the Company or any of its affiliated entities,
                including the Corporation, has no outstanding debts and liabilities
                to the
                Employee arising under any relationship with the Company preceding
                the
                signing date of this Addendum and that he has no claims, demands
                and
                requests from the Company for any such debts and liabilities. For
                the
                removal of doubt, it is hereby clarified that the foregoing confirmation
                does not apply to any debt or liability that may arise following
                the date
                of signing of this Addendum.

              If
                Employee converts his Employment Agreement into a Service Management
                Agreement under Section 7 of his Employment Agreement, then this
                Addendum
                shall be adjusted accordingly so as to apply to such alternative
                legal
