under any relevant provision of the Articles of Association of the Company.
The
affirmative vote of a majority of the Ordinary Shares represented at the Meeting
in person or by proxy is required to elect the two nominees named below as
directors of the Company. In the event any one or more of such nominees should
be unable to serve, the proxies will be voted for the election of such other
person or persons as shall be determined by the persons named in the proxy
in
accordance with their best judgment. The Company is not aware of any reason
why
any of the nominees, if elected, should be unable to serve as a director. The
Company does not have any understanding or agreement with respect to the future
election of any nominees named herein. The following information is supplied
with respect to each person nominated
and recommended to be elected by the Board of Directors of the Company, and
is
based upon the records of the Company and information furnished to it by the

ITEM
2- AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
Section
221 of the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”), provides that
the term of office of a director as a director shall commence on the date of
his/her appointment or on a later date, if the Articles of Association of the
Company contain a provision permitting an appointment that is to commence in
the
future.
Currently,
the Articles of Association of the Company do not contain a provision that
permits an appointment of a director to commence in the future. In order to
enable the shareholders of the Company greater flexibility in
respect of
the
effective time of the appointment of directors, the Board of Directors believes
that it would be desirable to amend the provisions of the Articles of
Association by adding a provision permitting an appointment of a director that
is to commence at a date subsequent to the date of the resolution appointing
such director.
The
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented
at
the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on this matter, is required
for
the approval of this matter.
It
is
proposed that at the Meeting the following resolution be adopted:
“RESOLVED,
that
Article 39 of the Articles of Association of the Company be amended by adding
at
the end of such Article 39 a Sub-Article 39(d) as follows:
|
(d)
|
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the term of a Director may commence
at a
date later than the date of the shareholders resolution electing
such
Director, if so specified in such shareholder resolution.”
|
The
Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of the proposed
resolution.

Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to approve the reappointment of Somekh
Chaikin, Certified Public Accountants (Israel), a member firm of KPMG

asked to authorize the Audit Committee, by an authority delegated to it by
the
Board of Directors, to fix the compensation of the auditors in accordance with
the amount and nature of their services.
The
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented
at
the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on this matter, is required
for
the approval of this matter.
It
is
proposed that at the Meeting the following resolutions be adopted:

International, be, and hereby are, re-appointed as the independent auditors
of
the Company until the end of the 2007 annual general meeting of shareholders,
