ITEM 2 – RE-APPOINTMENT OF THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
The Company's Audit Committee and Board of Directors recommend that the Company’s shareholders re-appoint Somekh Chaikin, a member of KPMG International, as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, and authorize the Company's Board of Directors to delegate the authority to determine said independent registered public accounting firm's remuneration to the Audit Committee.

ITEM 3 – APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF DIRECTORS' AND OFFICERS'
INSURANCE POLICY
 
The Israeli Companies Law requires shareholder approval for the purchase of liability insurance for directors and the chief executive officer.
 
The purchase of such insurance is standard practice for the Company and for other public companies, and we believe that the purchase of such insurance is critical to maintaining and attracting quality directors and officers. In accordance with the Israeli Companies Law, such proposed liability insurance for directors and officers will not provide coverage for: (i) violations of a director’s or officer's fiduciary duty toward the Company if the director did not act in good faith and with a reasonable basis to assume that his or her actions would not harm the Company, (ii) breaches of the duty of care if committed intentionally or recklessly, (iii) liability for acts committed with the intent to derive an illegal personal gain, or (iv) monetary fines or penalties.
 
The Compensation Committee approved and recommended, and the Board of Directors approved and further recommends, that the shareholders approve and ratify the purchase of directors' and officers' liability insurance for directors and officers of the Company currently in office and any other directors and executive officers as may be appointed from time to time, serving from time to time at the Company, with an annual coverage of up to $10 million for all loss arising out of claims made against any and all insured under all combined insurance coverage (including defense costs except within the limitations of liability provided in the insurance policy). Said approval shall be effective until the later of either the 2016 annual meeting of shareholders or December 15, 2016, and shall ratify the purchase of such directors' and officers' liability insurance prior to the date hereof.
 
It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
 
RESOLVED, to approve and ratify the purchase of liability insurance for directors and officers of the Company, as may be appointed from time to time, based on the description above.”
 
The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voting on the matter is required to approve this resolution, provided that either (i) included in such majority is at least a majority of the shares of shareholders who are non-controlling shareholders and do not have a personal interest in said resolution (excluding for such purpose any abstentions); or (ii) the total number of shares of shareholders specified in clause (i) who voted against this resolution does not exceed two percent (2%) of the voting rights in the Company.1
 
The Company’s Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal included in this Item.
 

1 In connection with your vote, you are asked to indicate on the enclosed proxy card whether you are a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest in the said resolution (excluding a personal interest that is not related to a relationship with a controlling shareholder). Under the Israeli Companies Law, in general, a person will be deemed to be a controlling shareholder if the person has the power to direct the activities of the company, other than by reason of being a director or other office holder of the company, and you are deemed to have a personal interest if any member of your immediate family or their spouse has a personal interest in the adoption of the proposal.  In addition, you are deemed to have a personal interest if a company, other than On Track Innovations Ltd. that is affiliated with you has a personal interest in the adoption of the proposal.  Such company is a company in which you or a member of your immediate family serves as a director or chief executive officer, has the right to appoint a director or the chief executive officer, or owns 5% or more of the outstanding shares.  However, you are not deemed to have a personal interest in the adoption of the proposal if your interest in such proposal arises solely from your ownership of the Company’s shares, or to a matter that is not related to a relationship with a controlling shareholder.

ITEM 4 – APPROVAL OF EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT OF MR. OFER
TZIPERMAN, THE COMPANY'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
 
Under a recent amendment to the Israeli Companies Law, the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer (even if not a director) must be approved by the shareholders of the Company. This compensation includes cash compensation as well as compensation in the form of equity awards.
 
The Compensation Committee has recommended and approved, and the Board of Directors has further approved and recommends, that shareholders approve the following employment terms for Mr. Tziperman in connection with his office as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company:

·           Services. Mr. Tziperman shall act as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company’s subsidiaries, PARX Ltd. and EasyPark Ltd. The employment terms under the Agreement shall apply to the employment of Mr. Tziperman as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, even if his employment with any of the Company’s subsidiaries expires or is terminated.

·           Consideration. Mr. Tziperman shall be entitled to a monthly gross salary of NIS 90,000 in addition to an executives' insurance fund, loss of working capacity insurance, a vocational study fund, and a car to be placed at his exclusive disposal (and grossing up the value of the benefit resulting from such car, which is customary in Israel). The current approximate monthly cost of Mr. Tziperman's compensation specified in this subsection is NIS 120,000. By no later than December 31st of each year, the Company's Board of Directors shall determine Mr. Tziperman's salary for the following year.

·           Agreement Term. The Agreement is for an initial three-year term commencing on March 7, 2013 and ending on March 6, 2016. This initial term shall be automatically extended for two successive periods of three years each. Nevertheless, other than in the case of termination of the agreement for cause, the term of the agreement may be terminated by either party upon at least six months' prior written notice and Mr. Tziperman shall be entitled to receive his monthly salary and the pro rata amount of the bonus as specified below (if owing) for the duration of the notice period.

·           Bonus. Mr. Tziperman shall be entitled to an annual bonus of no greater than 100% his annual base salary during the year in which the bonus is paid (i.e., up to NIS 1,080,000 for 2013). The parameters by which the annual bonus amount shall be calculated will be determined annually by the Board and will include, among others, financial targets, strategic goals, and other objectives that are aligned with shareholder value. The annual bonus for each year shall be paid to Mr. Tziperman within 30 days from the publication of the audited annual financial statements of the Company for such year. The annual bonus for 2013 shall be paid in cash up to 80% of the max bonus. Max bonus is significantly tied to specific financial targets and operational objectives of one year or less. Furthermore, the CEO may be awarded stock options annually to promote retention and to incentivize the CEO to positively impact shareholder value over a time horizon greater than one year. The total number of options that may be issued to the CEO in any year may not exceed the lesser of 400,000 options or 0.75% of the Company’s Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding at the end of the year as set out in the Company’s Form 20-F or 10-K.  The issuance of stock option awards will be subject to the discretion and approval of both the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors. All options granted to the CEO shall be subject to vesting periods of three years, vesting in portions of 1/3 of the total number of options each year. The first 1/3 will vest one year after the date of grant, and thereafter on the next two anniversaries of the date of grant. The exercise price of the stock options shall be calculated according to the average closing price of the Company's Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq during the 30 days prior to the date of grant, subject to the terms of the Company's option plan, which includes full acceleration upon a change of control event.
 
 
- 7 -

 

·           Stock Option Package. Without derogating from the aforementioned annual bonus, Mr. Tziperman shall be entitled to be granted 166,666 options to purchase the same number of Ordinary Shares with an exercise price of $0.90 per option (reflecting $150,000, divided by $0.90, which is the average closing price of the Company’s stock over the last 30 calendar days immediately prior to the date of the approval of Mr. Tziperman’s terms of employment as CEO by the Board of Directors, on April 30, 2013). The options will vest over 3 years, with one-third of the options vesting on March 7, 2014, one-third on March 7, 2015, and one-third on March 7, 2016, subject to the terms of the Company's option plan, which includes full acceleration upon a change of control event.

·           Confidentiality and Non-Competition. In consideration for Mr. Tziperman's commitment to confidentiality and non-competition, Mr. Tziperman shall be entitled to a one-time payment equal to twelve months of the then applicable salary, where 50% of this amount shall be paid upon the termination of his employment and the remaining 50% shall be held in escrow and released 12 months after the termination of his employment, provided Mr. Tziperman has complied with his confidentiality and non-competition commitments.

·           Vacation Days. Mr. Tziperman is entitled to 24 annual leave days in respect of each year of employment, most of which are accruable and redeemable upon termination.

·           Other Terms. Mr. Tziperman shall be entitled to other rights such as reimbursement of expenses, meals at the Company's facilities (the value of which shall be grossed up), and other rights granted to employees under applicable Israeli labor laws, such as convalescence pay (“Dmei-Havraa”) and sick leave.
 
In making its recommendation, the Compensation Committee considered various factors, including (a) Mr. Tziperman's education, skills, expertise, professional experience, and achievements; (b) Mr. Tziperman's position, responsibilities, and previous compensation arrangements; (c) the ratio between Mr. Tziperman's office and employment terms and the salary of other Company employees and contractors, particularly the ratio between the average salary and the median salary of such employees and the effect of such differences on work relations in the Company; and (d) with respect to variable components, the ability to reduce such variable components at the discretion of the Board of Directors and the ability to set limits on the realizable values of variable components of equity which are non-cash disposed.
 
 
- 8 -

 
 
The Compensation Committee further reviewed comparable industry data, data of peer companies in the industry, the responsibilities and duties performed by Mr. Tziperman, the equity and compensation for comparably situated chief executive officers, and the estimation of Mr. Tziperman's expected contribution to the future growth and profitability of the Company.
 
Our Board of Directors has approved the terms of employment of Mr. Tziperman based upon the terms recommended by the Compensation Committee and further recommends that the shareholders approve such terms of employment.
 
It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
 
RESOLVED, to approve the terms of employment of Mr. Tziperman, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, based on the description above.”
 
The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voting on the matter is required to approve this resolution, provided that either (i) included in such majority is at least a majority of the shares of shareholders who are non-controlling shareholders and do not have a personal interest in said resolution (excluding for such purpose any abstentions); or (ii) the total number of shares of shareholders specified in clause (i) who voted against this resolution does not exceed two percent (2%) of the voting rights in the Company.2
 
The Company’s Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal included in this Item.
 
ITEM 5 – APPROVAL OF AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF
ASSOCIATION OF THE COMPANY
 
The Company's current Articles of Association were drafted under the Companies Ordinance (New Version) 5743-1983. Since their drafting, the Israeli Companies Law has been adopted and several amendments have also been made to it, and despite amendments of the Company’s current Articles of Association from time to time to reflect certain changes, the Articles have not been amended in a comprehensive manner to fully reflect the current provisions of the Israeli Companies Law. In addition, the Company's current Articles of Association contain provisions that may adversely affect the voting rights of certain shareholders (Articles 34, 35) and that provide special directorship rights to certain founders of the Company who are no longer members of the Board of Directors and are now irrelevant (Articles 72, 74). The Board of Directors believes that in order to meet the standards of good corporate governance and to comply with current legislation, the Company should avoid provisions having any adverse effect on the voting rights of certain shareholders.  Therefore, the Board of Directors recommends that the Company adopt the amended and restated Articles of Association, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
 

2 See footnote 1 above.

It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
 
RESOLVED, to approve the Amended and Restated Articles of Association of the Company, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A."
 
The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voting on the matter is required to approve this resolution.
 
The Company’s Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal included in this Item.
 
ITEM 6 – APPROVAL OF AMENDED AND RESTATED INDEMNIFICATION
AGREEMENTS FOR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
The Israeli Companies Law provides that the indemnification and release of a director or a chief executive officer requires the approval of shareholders.
 
The Israeli Companies Law provides that directors and officers may not be indemnified or released with respect to (i) a breach of a director’s or an officer's fiduciary duty, unless such breach is committed in good faith and with reasonable grounds to believe that such act would not prejudice the interests of the Company; (ii) a breach of a director’s or an officer's duty of care to the Company committed intentionally or recklessly; (iii) an act or omission by a director or an officer with the intent of unlawfully realizing personal gain; and (iv) fines, monetary sanctions, forfeiture, and/or penalties imposed upon a director or an officer.
 
In addition, current Israeli law provides that directors and officers can only be released with respect to liability for damages caused as a result of a breach of their duty of care to the Company (but not for such breaches committed intentionally or recklessly, as noted above, or in connection with a distribution).
 
In order to help ensure the Company’s continued ability to attract and retain highly qualified board members and officers and to allow the Company to indemnify directors and officers in connection with payments and expenses incurred in connection with certain administrative proceedings that may be brought under the Israeli Securities Laws, 5278-1968, as amended, the Compensation Committee has recommended, and the and Board of Directors has approved and further recommends that shareholders approve, with respect to all directors and the chief executive officer of the Company currently in office and any other directors and executive officers as may be appointed from time to time to (a) indemnify and release such directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by law pursuant to the terms and provisions set forth substantially in the form of the Indemnification Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B ("Indemnification Agreement"), including and with respect to any acts or omissions made in their capacity as directors and executive officers of the Company prior to the date of approval by shareholders; and (b) enter into such Indemnification Agreements.
 
 
- 10 -

 
 
Under the proposed Indemnification Agreement, the Company’s undertaking to indemnify each director and the executive officer for monetary liabilities (i) shall be limited to matters that are connected or otherwise related to those events or circumstances set forth in Section 4 of the Indemnification Agreement and (ii) shall not exceed US$10 million in the aggregate per director or officer. The Board  of Directors has determined, in accordance with Israeli law, that such maximum amount is reasonable under the circumstances and that the events and circumstances specified in Section 4 of the Indemnification Agreement are foreseeable in light of the Company’s activities as of the date hereof.

THE DESCRIPTION OF THE GENERAL TERMS OF THE INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT SET FORTH ABOVE DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE COMPLETE AND IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE FULL TEXT OF THE GENERAL TERMS OF THE INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT, THE FORM OF WHICH IS ATTACHED HERETO AS EXHIBIT B AND IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.
 
It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
 
RESOLVED, to approve the issuance of Indemnification Agreements to the directors and officers of the Company, as may be appointed from time to time, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.”
 
The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voting on the matter is required to approve this resolution, provided that either (i) included in such majority is at least a majority of the shares of shareholders who are non-controlling shareholders and do not have a personal interest in said resolution (excluding for such purpose any abstentions); or (ii) the total number of shares of shareholders specified in clause (i) who voted against this resolution does not exceed two percent (2%) of the voting rights in the Company.3
 
The Company’s Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal included in this Item.

ITEM 7 –APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
COMPENSATION POLICY

Pursuant to a recent amendment to the Israeli Companies Law, all public Israeli companies, including companies whose shares are only publicly-traded outside of Israel, such as OTI, are required to adopt a written compensation policy for their executives, which addresses certain items prescribed by the Israeli Companies Law.
 
Pursuant to the recent amendment, the adoption, amendment, and restatement of the policy is to be recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors and shareholders, except that the approval of the shareholders may be waived in certain circumstances prescribed by the Israeli Companies Law.

In accordance with the new Israeli law requirements, our Compensation Committee reviewed and adopted a written compensation policy for our executives, which addresses the items prescribed by the Israeli Companies Law. A copy of the Company’s proposed Executive Officers’ Compensation Policy is attached as Exhibit C to the proxy statement.

Following Mr. Angelis' election as chairman, the Board of Directors determined that the Company and its shareholders can further benefit from Mr. Angelis' capabilities and expertise as a full-time officer of the Company and offered him the position of the Chief Executive Officer of OTI America, Inc., the Company's US subsidiary ("OTI US").

As the chairman of the Board of Directors, under the Israeli Companies Law, each of Mr. Angelis’ appointment and his compensation must be approved by the shareholders of the Company.
 
The Compensation Committee has recommended and approved, and the Board of Directors has further approved and recommends, that shareholders approve the appointment of Mr. Angelis as the CEO of OTI US and the following employment terms in connection with his office as the Chief Executive Officer of OTI US:

·             Services. Mr. Angelis shall act as the Chief Executive Officer of OTI US.

·             Agreement term and termination.

 
o
The Agreement is for an initial three-year term commencing on the date of approval by the shareholders and may be terminated at any time and without notice. This initial term shall be automatically extended for successive periods of one year each, unless either party submits a 180-day notice prior to the expiration of the initial period.

 
o
If Company terminates Mr. Angelis' employment for cause (as defined in the agreement) or if Mr. Angelis terminates his employment without good reason (as defined in the agreement), Mr. Angelis shall be paid for unpaid wages and unused accrued vacation earned through the termination date.

 
o
If the Company terminates Mr. Angelis' employment other than for cause or total disability (as defined in the agreement) or if Mr. Angelis terminates his employment for good reason, the Company shall pay Mr. Angelis his unpaid salary earned through the termination date and a separation payment in an amount equal to twelve (12) months’ annual base salary in effect at the time of termination.

 
o
If the Company or Mr. Angelis terminates Mr. Angelis' employment due to his total disability or death, the Company shall pay to Mr. Angelis unpaid wages earned through the termination date, and, if termination is due to disability, the benefits of disability insurance shall continue as provided in the Company’s disability policy.

·             Compensation. Mr. Angelis shall be entitled to the following compensation:

 
o
An annual gross salary of $300,000 with actual amounts paid to be prorated for the actual period of employment, payable in equal installments in accordance with the Company's normal payroll practice. The Board of Directors of the Company shall review the annual base salary at least annually based on Mr. Angelis performance and other relevant factors and may determine to increase the annual base salary up to 15% per annum.
 
 
- 13 -

 
 
 
o
The Company will adopt a bonus plan for Mr. Angelis based on the criteria established in the Company’s Compensation Policy under which Mr. Angelis shall be entitled to receive a bonus in the amount of up to his then applicable gross annual salary. In addition, the Company will pay Mr. Angelis a cash bonus upon commencement of employment of $50,000.

 
o
The Company will grant to Mr. Angelis an option to purchase 150,000 Ordinary Shares of the Company, the exercise price of which shall be the closing price of the Ordinary Shares of the Company on NASDAQ on the date of the Meeting.  The Option shall vest as follows:  1/3 after twelve (12) months of full time employment, additional 1/3 after twenty four (24) months of full time employment and the last 1/3 after thirty six (36) months of full time employment.

·             Other Benefits. Mr. Angelis shall participate in employee benefit programs, shall be entitled to full medical coverage (e.g. health and dental), as provided to employees from time to time by the Company, shall be entitled to reimbursement in accordance with the Company’s policies and procedures for reasonable expenses, and the Company will defend, indemnify and hold Mr. Angelis harmless to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.

·             Change of Control. In the event there is a change in control of the Company where Mr. Angelis is no longer employed by the Company, then (i) all aforementioned options shall immediately vest, (ii) he shall receive one year’s then annual base salary; and (iii) Mr. Angelis' aforementioned options shall be treated as ordinary shares under the "Poison Pill" plan of the Company (as long as such plan is in effect).
 
In making its recommendation, the Compensation Committee considered various factors, including (a) Mr. Angelis' education, skills, expertise, professional experience, and achievements; (b) Mr. Angelis' position, responsibilities, and previous compensation arrangements; (c) the ratio between Mr. Angelis' office and employment terms and the salary of other Company employees and contractors, particularly the ratio between the average salary and the median salary of such employees and the effect of such differences on work relations in the Company; and (d) with respect to variable components, the ability to reduce such variable components at the discretion of the Board of Directors and the ability to set limits on the realizable values of variable components of equity which are non-cash disposed.
 
The Compensation Committee further reviewed comparable industry data, data of peer companies in the industry, the responsibilities and duties performed by Mr. Angelis, the equity and compensation for comparably situated chief executive officers, and the estimation of Mr. Angelis' expected contribution to the future growth and profitability of the Company.
 
Our Board of Directors has approved the appointment of Mr. Dimitrios Angelis, the chairman of our Board of Directors, as the Chief Executive Officer of OTI US, in accordance with section 121(c) of the Israeli Companies Law for a three year period.

Our Board of Directors has further approved the terms of employment of Mr. Angelis based upon the terms recommended by the Compensation Committee and further recommends that the shareholders approve such terms of employment.
 
It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
 
RESOLVED, to authorize Mr. Dimitrios Angelis to serve both as the chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of OTI US for a three-year period, in accordance with the provisions of Section 121(c) of the Israeli Companies Law and to approve the terms of employment of Mr. Angelis, in connection with his employment as the Chief Executive Officer of OTI US.”

ITEM 10 - ELECTION OF MR. JERRY L. IVY, JR. TO SERVE AS A DIRECTOR
 
Our current Articles of Association provide for the election of 11 directors including external directors (where our Amended and Restated Articles of Association provide for the election of only 10). Currently our Board of Directors is comprised of 8 directors. In order to assist the Company with continuing to meet its long term objectives and overcome its long term challenges, the Company’s Board of Directors recommends electing Mr. Jerry L. Ivy, Jr. as an additional board member.
 
The Company has received a statement from Mr. Ivy, in which he declared of his compliance with all of the requirements applicable to directors in publicly traded companies, as set forth in the Companies Law.
 
The Board of Directors believes it is in the best interest of the Company to elect Mr. Ivy as a director. The Board of Directors is not aware of any reason why Mr. Ivy, if elected as a director, should be unable to serve. The Board of Directors is not aware of any understanding or agreement with respect to the future election of Mr. Ivy.
 
The following biographical information is provided with respect to Mr. Ivy and is based upon his declaration which was submitted to the Company.

Mr. Ivy, age 50, is a business owner, private investor and entrepreneur.  Mr. Ivy has been active in diverse industries ranging from the manufacture and nationwide distribution of such personal items as cosmetics and beauty products to such commercial items as restaurant equipment and chemicals. Mr. Ivy has also actively traded commercial, agricultural, and residential real estate throughout the western United States over the past three decades.
 
Mr. Ivy has made significant investments in the software and technology industry, and is currently the single largest individual shareholder of Company stock.  Mr. Ivy has taken similarly large stakes in other small cap companies.
 
Therefore, it is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
 
RESOLVED, to elect Mr. Jerry L. Ivy, Jr. to serve as a Director on the Board of Directors of the Company until the first general meeting of the shareholders of the Company to be held following termination of 36-month period commencing as of the date of the Meeting."

Advances given to cover legal expenses in criminal proceedings will be repaid by Indemnitee to the Company, if such proceedings are concluded in such manner that would not have entitled the Indemnitee to indemnification under Section 1 above. Additionally, the Company shall make available to Indemnitee any securities and/or guarantees which Indemnitee will be required to provide in the framework of any action or proceeding and/or according to any interim decision, including arbitration proceedings, and including with respect to the exchange of any attachments imposed on Indemnitee's assets.

6.
Notification and Defense of Claim. If any Claim is brought against Indemnitee in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement:

 
6.1.
The Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Company of any legal proceedings initiated and of all possible or threatened legal proceedings without delay following first becoming aware thereof, and the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Company, or to such person as it shall advise, without delay all documents received in connection with these proceedings. Similarly, the Indemnitee must advise the Company on an ongoing and current basis concerning all events which the Indemnitee suspects may give rise to the initiation of legal proceedings against the Indemnitee. Notice to the Company shall be directed to the Chief Executive Officer with a copy to the General Counsel and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company as per Section 19 hereof, or if the Indemnitee is then the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, such notice shall be directed to the Chairman of the Board and the other addressees.

 
6.2.
The Company will be entitled to parti­cipate therein at its own expense or to assume the defense thereof and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in connection with any such Claim and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless: (i) the Company shall not have assumed the defense of the Claim, or (ii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both Indemnitee and the Company, and Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that joint representation is inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct due to a conflict of interest between Indemnitee and the Company, in either of which events reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel to Indemnitee shall be borne by the Company. However, in no event will the Company be obligated to pay the fees or expenses of more than one firm of attorneys representing Indemnitee in connection with any one Claim or separate but substan­tially similar or related Claims in the same jurisdic­tion arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of criminal proceedings the Company and/or the attorneys as aforesaid will not have the right to plead guilty in Indemnitee’s name or to agree to a plea-bargain in his name without his prior written consent. Furthermore, in a civil proceeding (whether before a court or as a part of a compromise arrangement), the Company and/or its attorneys will not have the right to admit to any occurrences that are not indemnifiable pursuant to this Agreement and/or pursuant to law, without Indemnitee’s prior written consent. However, the aforesaid will not prevent the Company and/or its attorneys as aforesaid, with the approval of the Company, to come to a financial arrangement with a plaintiff in a civil proceeding without Indemnitee’s consent so long as such arrangement will not be an admittance of an occurrence not fully indemnifiable pursuant to this Agreement and/or pursuant to law and further provided that any such settlement or arrangement does not impose on Indemnitee any liability or limitation.
 
 
- 40 -

 
 
 
6.3.
The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee for any amounts paid in settlement of any Claim effected without the Company's written consent. Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as may be required.

 
6.4.
The Indemnitee will fully cooperate with the Company and/or any attorney as aforesaid in every reasonable way as may be required within the context of their conduct of such legal proceedings, including but not limited to the execution of power(s) of attorney and other documents, provided that the Company shall cover all costs incidental thereto such that the Indemnitee will not be required to pay the same or to finance the same himself.

7.
Subrogation.  In the event of payment under this Agreement from Company to Indemnitee, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents reasonably required and shall do everything that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

8.
Primacy of Indemnification. The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee has or may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by the Indemnitee or by the party or parties who appointed the Indemnitee and certain of such party's affiliates (collectively, the “Appointing Party”).  The Company hereby agrees, with respect to Indemnitee's right to indemnification pursuant hereto: (i) that the Company is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Appointing Party or its (or the Indemnitee's) insurer to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that, subject to the provisions hereof, the Company shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Indemnitee and indemnifiable hereunder and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the Company’s Articles Association (or any agreement between the Company and Indemnitee) all subject to the provisions hereof, without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Appointing Party or its (or the Indemnitee's) insurer, and, (iii) that the Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Appointing Party or its (or the Indemnitee's) insurer from any and all claims against the Appointing Party or its (or the Indemnitee's) insurer for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.  The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Appointing Party or its (or the Indemnitee's) insurer on behalf of an Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Appointing Party or its (or the Indemnitee's) insurer shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company.  The Company and the Indemnitee agree that the Appointing Party or its (or the Indemnitee's) insurer are express third party beneficiaries of the terms hereof.

In determining the said annual performance targets for Executives and the cash bonus and long-term equity-based incentives payable to each Executive as aforementioned, consideration should be given to promote the Company's long-term goals and to ensure that a material portion of the variable components be determined based on measureable criteria. Additional portion of the variable components may be based on non-measureable criteria taking into account the Executives' contribution to the Company.
 
While determining the Executives performance targets, the Company may take into consideration diverse parameters such as, without limitation, financial results, sales results, efficiency metrics, internal and external customer satisfaction, shareholders value, execution of projects, attainment of milestones, etc.
 
 
6.2.
ANNUAL PERFORMANCE BONUS
 
6.2.1.
Payment of the annual performance bonus (the “Bonus”) to Executives, other than Non-Employee Directors, shall be tied to long-term corporate performance, rather than short-term stock market performance, with the goal of eliminating abuses resulting from a short-term focus.
 
6.2.2.
Such Bonus shall be made in accordance with each Executive's performance targets and based, among others, upon the following factors:
 
 
a)
The Company’s achievement of certain financial performance metrics, consisting of annual revenue targets, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization  target and free cash flow target, each based on the Company’s annual budget (to be approved by the Board);
 
 
b)
Achievement of the Executive defined Management by Objectives (“MBOs”) which will be determined by the CEO; and
 
 
c)
Discretionary and based upon achievement of the Executive performance goals, which shall be determined by the CEO, taking into account tangible and intangible performance factors as it deems appropriate, including the Executive’s relative contribution to the Company.
 
6.2.3.
In defining the Bonus the Company shall consider the weigh and percentage of each of the factors for the calculation of the Bonus as prescribed in the following table.
 
 Position
Financial Factors
Defined MBOs
Discretionary
CEO, CFO
50- 90%
0 to 20%

VP of Sales
50-75%
up to 50%
up to 10%
Other Executives
40-70%
up to 40%
up to 25%
 
 
- 50 -

 
 
6.2.4.
Payment of the annual Bonus (if any) will be made within 30 days after the publication of the financial statements for the year for which the Bonus is paid, unless the Executive's employment is terminated prior to such date, in which case the Compensation Committee and the Board of Director shall make appropriate adjustments. Any such bonus may be paid in cash in a single lump sum or by equity compensation, or a combination of both.
 
6.2.5.
The Executives annual Bonus shall not exceed the following amounts:
 
 
a)
CEO - the aggregate amount equivalent to 12 gross base salaries of the CEO.
 
 
b)
Other Executives - the aggregate amount equivalent to 9 gross base salaries of the Executive.
 
 
6.3.
EQUITY BASED INCENTIVES
 
Equity-based compensation may be granted to Executives, subject to the Company Stock Option Plan, in accordance with an annual equity incentive plan, as may be in effect from time to time (collectively, the "Equity Incentive Plans"), in any form permitted under such plans, including stock options. Such Equity Incentive Plans will be designed to allow non-required shareholders dilution on the one hand, yet to provide a long-term retention tool and spreading the risk for gain, on the other hand. 
 
All equity-based incentives granted to Executives shall be subject to vesting over a vesting period of between three to four (3-4) years in order to promote long-term retention of the awarded Executives, with full acceleration upon a change of control event. Unless otherwise determined in a specific stock options award agreement and unless accelerated upon a change of control event, options grants to Executives shall vest gradually over a period of three (3) years, vesting in portions of 1/3 of the total number of options each year, quarter or any other period as shall be determined by the Board. Unless otherwise determined in a specific stock options award agreement, the exercise price of the equity-based compensation, in case of stock options, shall be calculated according to the average closing price of the Company's Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq during the last 30 days prior to the date of grant.
 
The Equity-based compensation granted to an Executive in a given 12 month period shall not exceed at the date of the grant, the aggregate amount of sixty seven percent (67%)(two-thirds) of the cost of the Executive’s annual salary, including benefits, calculated by the Black & Scholes model as the 0.33 (third) (on a vesting period of 3 years) or 0.25 (forth) (on a vesting period of 4 years) of the grant, as the case may be, that is vested during the given year.
 
7.
RATIO BETWEEN FIXED COMPENSTION AND VARIABLE COMPENSATION
 
Unless otherwise determined in a specific Executive employment agreement (to be approved by the Board), the maximum value of the variable compensation components shall be up to 100% of each Executive's total compensation package on an annual basis.
 
8.
RECOUPMENT POLICY
 
The Company may seek reimbursement of all or a portion of any compensation paid to an Executive on the basis of financial data included in Company's financial statements in any fiscal year that are found to be inaccurate and are subsequently restated.
 
In any such event, Company will seek reimbursement from the Executives to the extent such Executives would not have been entitled to all or a portion of such compensation, based on the financial data included in the restated financial statements.
 
 
- 51 -

 
 
The Compensation Committee will be responsible for approving the amounts to be recouped and for setting terms for such recoupment from time to time.
 
9.
EXCHANGE RATES
 
Monetary amounts in this Policy are quoted in NIS, yet subject to the applicable currency exchange rates.
 
 
10.
REVIEW, RECOMMENDATION AND APPROVAL OF THE POLICY
 
This Policy was formulated by the Compensation Committee that approved it on October 21, 2013 and recommended the Board to approve it. On October 22, 2013 the Board approved this Policy and recommended the General Meeting to approve it. This Policy is submitted for approval by the General Meeting of the Company in the Annual Meeting that will be held on December 6, 2013.
 
The Compensation Committee shall review and evaluate this Policy from time to time, monitor its implementation, and recommend to the Board and the General Meeting to make any amendment or restatement to the Policy as it deems necessary from time to time.
