Right of First Refusal.

Said sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Shares shall be done only in accordance with any agreement governing the subject matter as in effect at such time and from time to time, including, without limitation that certain Stockholder Agreement, dated March 21, 2001, and no such sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Shares shall have any force and effect if done in contravention of said agreements.

Appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Shares subject to this Section 7, provided that any adjustment so made shall maintain the proportionate number of Shares without changing the aggregate Exercise Price.

Waiver. As a condition to the receipt of the Option and its exercise into Shares, Grantee hereby irrevocably waives any right of first refusal with respect to any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition to a third party of any shares in the Company by other stockholders, if such right was so provided in any agreement governing the subject matter as in effect from time to time, including, without limitation that certain Stockholder Agreement, dated March 21, 2001. The stockholders of the Company are entitled to rely on this irrevocable waiver.

8.	BRING ALONG RIGHTS.

The Grantee hereby undertakes to be subject to Bring Along Rights with respect to any and all Shares as to which this Option has been exercised into (including any stock dividend, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares) in accordance with Section 6 of that certain Stockholder Agreement, dated March 21, 2001, and any agreement governing the subject matter as shall be in effect at

- 4 -

such time and from time to time, notwithstanding any other rights of first refusal or other rights contained herein or therein which shall not apply.

9.	LEGALITY OF INITIAL ISSUANCE.

It and the Grantee have taken any actions required to register the Shares under the Securities Act or to perfect an exemption from the registration requirements thereof;

Any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Shares are listed has been satisfied; and

Any other applicable provision of state or federal law has been satisfied.

10.

NO REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, register or qualify the sale of Shares under the Securities Act or any other applicable law. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the sale of Shares under this Agreement to comply with any law.

11.

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.

Securities Law Restrictions. Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Shares under the Plan have been registered under the Securities Act or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, the Company at its discretion may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on the certificates evidencing the Shares or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of the Company, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state or any other law.

Market Stand-Off. In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act or equivalent law in another jurisdiction, including the Company’s Initial Public Offering, the Grantee shall not directly or indirectly sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any Option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any Option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Shares acquired under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters. Such restriction (the “Market Stand-Off”) shall be in effect for such period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters. In no event, however, shall such period exceed 180 days. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such Shares thereby become convertible, shall immediately be subject to the Market Stand-Off. In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares acquired under this Agreement until the end of the applicable stand-off period. The Company’s underwriters shall be beneficiaries of the agreement set forth in this Subsection (b). This Subsection (b) shall not apply to Shares registered in the public offering under the Securities Act or equivalent law in another jurisdiction, and the Grantee shall be subject

- 5 -

to this Subsection (b) only if the directors and officers of the Company are subject to similar arrangements.

Investment Intent at Grant. The Grantee represents and agrees that the Shares to be acquired upon exercising this Option will be acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof.

Investment Intent at Exercise. In the event that the sale of Shares under the Plan is not registered under the Securities Act but an exemption is available which requires an investment representation or other representation, the Grantee shall represent and agree at the time of exercise that the Shares being acquired upon exercising this Option are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.

Legends. All certificates evidencing Shares purchased under this Agreement shall bear the following legend, in accordance with any agreement governing the subject matter as in effect from time to time, including, without limitation that certain Stockholder Agreement, dated March 21, 2001 (and such other restrictive legends as are required or deemed advisable under the provisions of any applicable law):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE ISRAELI SECURITIES LAW-1968, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR WITHOUT AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

THE RETENTION, SALE OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT DATED JANUARY 31, AS AMENDED APRIL 20, 2002 BY AND AMONG THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE COMPANY.”

Removal of Legends. If, in the opinion of the Company and its counsel, any legend placed on a stock certificate representing Shares sold under this Agreement is no longer required, the holder of such certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate for a certificate representing the same number of Shares but without such legend.

Administration. Any determination by the Company and its counsel in connection with any of the matters set forth in this Section 11 shall be conclusive and binding on the Grantee and all other persons.

12.

ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.

In the event of any transaction described in Section 13.1 of the Plan, the terms of this Option (including, without limitation, the number and kind of Shares subject to this Option and the Exercise Price) shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 13.1 of the Plan. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, asset sale or such like transaction as specified in the Section 13.2 of the Plan, this Option shall be subject to the provisions thereof.

13.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

Rights as a Stockholder. Neither the Grantee nor the Grantee’s representative shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares subject to this Option until the Grantee or the Grantee’s representative becomes entitled to receive such Shares by

- 6 -

filing a notice of exercise and paying the Exercise Price pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 hereof.

Voting Proxy. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Plan to the contrary including the provisions of Subsection (a) above and Section 6.9 of the Plan, and as a material precondition to the Company’s issuance of Options and Shares under the Plan, the Grantee shall execute an irrevocable proxy in the form attached hereto as Schedule A, appointing as the Grantee’s proxy, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, as appointed from time to time, or in his absence any other person designated by the Board with power of delegation (the “Proxy”). Unless the Proxy shall be directed otherwise by the Board, such Shares shall be voted by the Proxy in the same proportion as the result of the stockholders’ vote in respect of which the votes controlled by the Trustee are being cast. The Proxy, if so required by the Board, shall execute an irrevocable proxy appointing any person designated by the Board as its proxy with power of delegation. Any transfer of Shares from the Trustee to the Grantee shall be conditioned upon the execution by the Grantee of an irrevocable proxy, in the form attached hereto as Schedule A authorizing the Proxy to vote his Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any irrevocable proxy granted pursuant hereto shall be of no force or effect upon the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company’s Initial Public Offering or (ii) the consummation of a Merger/Sale, as such terms are defined in the Plan. Notwithstanding the above, California based Grantees shall be excluded from the provision of this Section 13(b) and shall not be obligated to execute such an irrevocable proxy.

No Retention Rights. Nothing in this Option or in the Plan shall confer upon the Grantee any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining the Grantee) or of the Grantee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause.

No Personal Tax Consultation. The Grantee acknowledges that the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Plan are not intended, and the Company hereby disclaim the responsibility, to advise or recommend to the Grantee of any tax benefits whatsoever, for which the Grantee shall seek personal tax consultation at the Grantee’s own expense and sole discretion. No representations have been made to the Grantee that any such benefits will be available as a result of the Grantee’s grant, acquisition, ownership, disposition or any other action whatsoever with respect to the Awards, as defined under the Plan. All tax consequences under any applicable law which may arise from the grant of any Options, restricted stock or shares, or in the case of an Option, from its exercise, from the sale or disposition of the shares or restricted stock or from any other act of the Grantee in connection with the foregoing shall be borne solely by the Grantee, and the Grantee shall indemnify the Company, and the Trustee, if applicable, and shall hold them harmless against and from any liability for any such tax or penalty, interest or indexation thereon or thereupon.

Notice. Any notice required by the terms of this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit with the domestic postal service, by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid. Notice shall be addressed to the Company at its principal executive office and to the Grantee at the address that he or she most recently provided to the Company.

Entire Agreement. The Notice of Stock Option Grant, this Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire contract between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. They supersede any other agreements, representations or understandings
