For the purpose of approving the terms of employment, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have examined and taken into consideration, inter alia, the following parameters and data:

4.1

The principles of the engagement with the Company’s previous CEO, Mr. Avi Brener, and data regarding the overall volume of compensation of Mr. Brener in his position as CEO of the Company, that were presented to the members of the Audit Committee and the Board.

4.2

Comparison figures with the compensation of CEOs at other publicly traded companies were collected according to freely available information that was published by these same companies and presented to the Audit Committee and the Board.

4.3

The professional experience, skills and compatibility of Mr. Ofer Bloch to serve as CEO of the Company.

The Company’s desire to compensate the CEO and provide incentive for him to work toward the development and leadership of the Company, so as to maximize its earnings and attain its objectives.

5.2

The overall compensation that is being offered to Mr. Ofer Bloch according to the terms of the employment agreement, is reasonable under the circumstances, taking into account the size of the Company, the volume of operations and Mr. Ofer Bloch’s skills and professional experience.

5.3

The terms of employment of Mr. Ofer Bloch are not superior to those of the Company’s previous CEO.

5.4

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have examined the possibility of equalizing the accepted compensation in line with the compensation of CEOs at other publicly traded companies.

The Audit Committee and the Board have determined that the total compensation granted on account of the employment contract is reasonable under the circumstances and does not deviate from generally accepted levels of compensation among CEOs at similar publicly traded companies, yet they stated that the comparison figures served as only a partial indication thereof, also on account of the existence of variance between the publicly traded companies whose numbers have been reviewed, inter alia on account of their size, volume and complexity of their operations, their shareholder’s equity and areas of operation, as well as the various compensation components.
