The Board of Directors' guiding principles for implementing the Compensation Policy are intended to ensure a proper balance between the wish to incentivize and retain officers in the Company and the requirement that the Compensation Policy benefit the Company and its shareholders and accord with the Company's work plans and its organization-wide strategy.
In accordance with the Board of Directors' resolution, the Compensation Policy will not be implemented in a manner liable to create incentives for taking risks that deviate from the Company's risk policy, as determined from time to time by the competent organs.
Therefore, whenever the Company's management and the Approving Entities engage in implementing the Compensation Policy, their decisions will be guided, inter alia, by the following principles:
7.1 Conformance between the Compensation Policy and the Company's financial position and long-term goals – The Compensation Policy includes budget limitations as well as personal caps for officers, to which the Approving Entities must strictly adhere when considering and approving an officer's terms of service and employment. Any deviation from any or all of the provisions of the Compensation Policy is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.7 below.
1 Special cases can include exceptional qualifications of the officer, retention of an especially highquality officer by the Company, exceptional achievements of an officer, and any other special circumstances determined by the Approving Entities to constitute a special case in this regard, based on reasons that will be set out in every such decision.
Entities will nevertheless examine all the considerations and criteria set out in this document and those obligated by the Companies Law.
In formulating the Compensation Policy, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors considered, among other things, the effect of the Company's size as well as the areas in which it operates and the scope of its operations on the Compensation Policy, relative to the Zviran Survey – a salary survey in Israel's technology sector in which the Company also participates. A comparison between the compensation components at the Company and the compensation components, according to the Zviran Survey, at companies which are similar to the Company in terms of size (150-500 employees), ownership (public) and status (Israeli company) (the comparison is based on the Zviran Survey, as discussed in Section 11.6 below), the compensation components detailed in this Compensation Policy Document for officers of the Company are appropriate, fair and reasonable. A similar ad-hoc examination will be performed for the terms of service and employment actually granted to each Company officer, prior to signing an agreement with him and from time to time at intervals to be determined.
In addition, if and to the extent that the scope of operations of the Company and/or its areas of operation change significantly, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors will examine the effect of such change on the terms, criteria and benchmarks set in this Compensation Policy Document, and, if necessary, will act to have it updated in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law.
The Company sees great importance in maintaining reasonable and fair differences between the compensation paid to Company officers and the compensation paid to nonofficer employees.
The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors examined the ratio between the existing terms of service and employment of officers and the existing average and median salary of the Company's other employees, as well as the ratio between the existing terms of service and employment of officers and the average and median current cost of employment of the Company's other employees. Based on this examination and considering the Company's nature, size and areas of operation, they found that this ratio is fair and reasonable and has no significantly adverse effect on labor relations at the Company. A similar ad-hoc examination will be performed for the terms of service and employment actually granted to each Company officer, prior to signing an agreement with him and from time to time at intervals to be determined.
In addition, for the purpose of maintaining such a fair and reasonable ratio, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors will examine from time to time, and at least once a year, the changes in this ratio. If it is found that the ratio is not fair and reasonable, inter alia considering the existing ratio at other public companies traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange which are similar to the Company in terms of size, scope of operations and areas of operation, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors will consider how and by what means this ratio can again be made fair and reasonable, all in accordance with the provisions of any law.
This ratio will be calculated in relation to the terms of service and employment (annual cost2 ) of each of the senior officers employed in that period by the Company, and the cost of the annual average and median salary of the Company's other employees (apart from officers) employed by the Company in the same period. 3 The following table presents the ratio in 2012:

The considerations for paying an officer (excluding s controlling- shareholder) a special bonus will include special effort, compliance with quality targets, retention of human capital and maintaining high motivation. The cap on the calendar annual special bonus for an officer (excluding s controlling- shareholder) shall be the higher between (a) 20% of the officer's total annual variable compensation or (b) 3 times the officer's monthly salary . The payment of a special bonus to an officer (excluding s controllingshareholder) will be submitted to the approval of the Approving Entity, which, if necessary, will also consider the circumstances of the grant.
The mechanism for calculation of the target-compliance bonus will be determined according to the following breakdown:
17.4.1.2 Maximum performance threshold within which the officer will earn a proportionate bonus and above which the officer's performance will be deemed exceptional and will earn him an addition bonus for a predetermined amount.
17.4.2 Up to 20% for qualitative targets based on the CEO's evaluation, as discussed above.
In addition to all the foregoing, the Approving Entities will consider whether, and under what conditions, also to pay the Company CEO a special bonus, based on targets or other conditions as detailed above and below, according to a fixed mechanism or on an ad hoc basis.
In addition to any examination that must be carried out by the Approving Entity prior to approving a bonus for a Company officer, including the Company CEO, based on quantitative and/or qualitative components as detailed above and below, and in addition to any consideration that should be taken into account by that entity, as detailed in this Compensation Policy Document and/or in the Companies Law, the amount of the variable compensation shall be limited as follows:

If employer-employee relations between an officer and the Company terminate in the course of a calendar year, the annual bonus mechanism according to this Compensation Policy will be adjusted to the partial employment period, such that the bonus amount paid to the officer will be adjusted to the period for which the officer is entitled to a bonus, including balances that would have been spread out over following years, and the bonus calculation will reflect the partial employment period only.
It the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for any year are corrected, in such manner that ad the amount of the grant and/or bonus for measurable components that was due to an officer for that year been calculated based on the corrected data, the officer would have received a bonus in different amount (higher or lower, as the case may be), the Company will pay the officer or the officer will return to the Company, as the case may be, the difference between the amount that was actually paid and the amount which should have been paid in light of such correction, on the date of payment of the officer's next salary after the publication of the corrected statements, and in accordance with the provisions of the Wage Protection Law, 5718-1958 ("Wage Protection Law") with respect to the amount of the allowed deduction. This difference will be considered an agreed and liquidated amount for purposes of Sections 25(a)(6) and 25(b) of the Wage Protection Law.
The Company is permitted not to return such difference to the officer, whenever it becomes apparent that it was created due to that officer's negligent or willful act or omission.
For the purpose of implementing the foregoing, the officer will sign, on the date of payment of any bonus and/or grant, or earlier, an undertaking to return the relevant payments, in wording as determined by the Company.
The Company may grant equity-based compensation, including options and shares, subject to the approval of the Approving Entity, as part of the officer's compensation mechanism, at terms to be determined by the Company.
The terms of an option plan and the exercise price will serve as an appropriate incentive for maximizing the Company's value in the long term and for encouraging the achievement of the Company's long-term objectives. In addition, criteria will be set based on which options will not be granted (such as in circumstances that justify dismissal without severance pay, noncompliance with the vesting conditions that were set, deterioration in the Company's situation due to the officer's actions, officer's breach of trust, and any other criteria determined by the Board of Director or the Board committee in charge of managing the Company's option plan).
(entitlement to receive shares of the Company which will be issued to the offerees after a certain restriction period), , they too will be considered equity-based compensation. To remove any doubt, the exercise price of phantom options shall not include an immediate bonus (In-the-Money Options). In the event of a plan to grant restricted shares, a goal-driven mechanism will be established, as specified in section 17.1 (a) in accordance with which the shares will be granted at the end of the restriction period.
The value of equity-based compensation that is not settled in cash shall not exceed 6 times the monthly wages of an officer on the grant date, and in any case shall be limited in relation to the total compensation as specified in the table in section 10.4.

25.1 Insurance – Directors and officers of the Company will be insured under a directors and officers liability insurance policy for a sum up to \$10,000,000 (ten million US dollars) for any one event and in the aggregate for all damages arising during the insurance period (plus another \$5,000,000 in respect of legal defense costs) (the "policy"). The policy will be renewed every year, subject to approval by the Approving Entity to renew it from time to time at similar terms and for additional periods of up to 18 months each time.
The purpose of the policy is to confer on the Company's Directors and officers protection against claims. The terms of the policy are determined in negotiations between the Company and the insurance company, taking into consideration the areas of operation and the scope of operation of the Company and the Group, the geographical distribution of the Company's operations, the risk management policy applied by the Company, the number of insured covered by the policy and the standard terms in the market in this area.
Run-off cover – The insurance cover purchased by the Company for its Directors and officers may also include runoff arrangements for a period of up to seven years from the date of termination of their service as Directors and officers of the Company.
25.2 Indemnification and exemption – The Company may grant indemnification (prospectively and/or retrospectively) and an exemption to all or any of its Directors and officers, according to its discretion, to the maximum extent conforming to the Companies Law and the Increased Efficiency of Enforcement Proceedings at the Israel Securities Authority Law (Legislative Amendment), 5771- 2011, in wording as approved by the General Meeting of the Company's shareholders on September 22, 2011.
