4.3 Therefore, Mr. Shani and Mrs. Shani did not participate in the discussions and votes at the remuneration committee and Board of Directors meetings regarding the Board of Directors' recommendation to the General Meeting to re-approve the Employment Agreements, to approve the amendment to the Employment Agreements, and to re-approve their letters of exemption and indemnification in accordance with the standard form of the letter of indemnification issued to all officers of the Company.
Mr. Shani and Mrs. Shani have a personal interest in the re-approval of their Employment Agreements, in the approval of the amendment of the Employment Agreements as aforesaid, in the re-approval of their letters of exemption and indemnification, due to the fact that these relate to their terms of employment with the Company and since they are a married couple.
6.1 Re-approval and amendment of employment agreements as stated in items 2.5 and 2.6 on the agenda: the remuneration paid to each of them in respect of their services is commensurate with the Company's compensation policy as well as the contribution of Mr. Shani and Mrs. Shani to the Company, as determined by the remuneration committee and Board of Directors of the Company upon the approval of employment agreements and given the importance and dependence attached by the remuneration committee and Board of Directors to their continued employment with the Company. In accordance with the compensation policy, the Company studied the wages paid to officers in similar positions, in companies with a similar scope of business, and have found that their terms of employment (specified in paragraph 3.1 above) of Mr. and Mrs. Shani are commensurate with their positions and qualifications.
6.2 Re-approval of letters of exemption and indemnification as stated in item 2.7 on the agenda: the terms of the letters of exemption and indemnification are designed to afford the maximum protection permitted by the law, applied identically to all the directors and officers of the Company.
7.1 Pursuant to Section 275 of the Companies Law, transactions with controlling shareholders or their relatives, which concern their terms of office and employment require the approve of the remuneration committee and Board of Directors. The transactions were approved by the Remuneration committee and Board of Directors of the Company on May 27 and June 30, 2014, respectively.
7.2 The transactions also require the approval of the general meeting of Company shareholders, which was convened as set forth below, with the majority required by law, as described therein.
8.1 Re-approval of the employment agreements of the controlling shareholders and the amendment thereof (items 2.5 and 2.6 on the meeting's agenda)
On July 12, 2011, the Audit Committee and Board of Directors of the Company, and subsequently, on September 22, 2011 the general meeting of Company shareholders decided to re-approve the employment agreements of the controlling shareholders of the Company and his wife, in accordance with Section 275(A1) of the Companies Law, and to amend each of the employment agreements of the controlling shareholder of the Company and his wife, since the provisions in their employment agreements relating to their automatic extension by 5-year periods have become superfluous.
8.2 Issuance of letters of exemption and indemnification to the controlling shareholder and his wife (item 2.7 on the meeting's agenda):
8.2.1 On March 18, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company decided to undertake to officers of the Company that the Company would indemnify them in advance, in the cases enumerated in the Company's articles (as specified in section 4.16 of the Periodic Report) in an amount that will not exceed 25% of the Company's shareholders' equity, as recorded in its financial statements, as of the date of indemnity, in relation to all the officers. This amount will be added to the total amount of insurance benefits in respect of various determining events, which the Company will receive from time to time as part of any officers liability insurance. This resolution was approved by the general meeting of Company shareholders dated April 13, 2004.
8.2.2 On May 9, 2006, the general meeting of Company shareholders approved the granting of exemption and indemnification to Mr. Haim Shani and Mrs. Bareket Shani, in accordance with the provisions of the indemnification letter and the issuance of a letter of indemnification to Mr. Haim Shani and Mrs. Bareket Shani.
8.2.3 On May 18, 2006, the Company issued letters of exemption and indemnification as aforesaid to officers of the Company, including to Mr. Haim Shani and Mrs. Bareket Shani (as specified in the transaction report published on March 27, 2006, Reference No: 2006-01- 027750, which is hereby included by way of reference).
8.2.4 On September 22, 2011, the general meeting of Company shareholders approved amendments to the letters of exemption and indemnification to officers of the Company, including to officers who are controlling shareholders of the Company or their relatives (for details see Immediate Report on the Results of a General Meeting dated September 22, 2011, Reference No: 2011-01-282429).
9.1 Re-approval of the employment agreements and the amendment thereto as stated in items 2.5 and 2.6 on the agenda:
The remuneration committee and Board of Directors of the Company re-approved the employment agreements and approved the proposed amendment thereto for the reasons set forth below:
9.1.1 After their amendment, the employment agreements are in conformity with the Company's compensation policy.
9.1.2 The remuneration committee and Board of Directors recognize the significant and continued contribution of Mr. and Mrs. Shani and see a direct link between each of them, their terms of remuneration and the success of the Company. Therefore, the remuneration committee and Board of Directors view the re-approval and amendment of the employment agreements as commensurate with the services and qualifications of Mr. and Mrs. Shani, given the importance and dependence attached by the Board to their continued employment with the Company, and which will facilitate the continued receipt of these services. They believe that this is the standard remuneration for similar position holders in companies with a similar scope of business.
9.1.3 The Company's Board of Directors has determined that the Company is materially dependent on the continued services of Mr. Haim Shani and Mrs. Bareket Shani which is due, inter alia, to the following reasons:
A. As Company founders, Mr. Shani and Mrs. Shani have long-standing, close and direct knowledge of all technologies and products being developed, manufactured and distributed by the Company, from its inception to date, as well as with markets, customers and service providers of the Company.
B. Mr. Shani and Mrs. Shani have a well-known reputation in the Company's industry, and the Company's favorable reputation is tightly linked to the fact that Mr. Shani and Mrs. Shani are controlling shareholders and officers of the Company.
C. Consequently, Mr. Shani and Mrs. Shani are actively involved in all the daily operations of the Company, and replacing them would require a very long training process, as well as replacements with similar knowledge and experience to those of Mr. Shani and Mrs. Shani, which would require significant resources.
D. Furthermore, replacing Mr. Shani and Mrs. Shani may involve significant costs, in view of the low wages they have been receiving from the Company over the years, compared to similar officers in companies of a similar size.
9.1.4 Those transactions are in favour of the Company.
9.2 Re-approval of the letters of exemption and indemnification as stated in item 2.7 on the agenda:
The remuneration committee and Board of Directors of the Company re-approved the letters of exemption and indemnification to Mr. Shani and Mrs. Shani for the reasons set forth below:
9.2.1 The letters of exemption and indemnification are in conformity with the Company's compensation policy.
9.2.2 The Company wishes to grant all its officers the maximum protection permitted by law.
9.2.3 In the opinion of the Company's Remuneration committee and Board of Directors, the re-approval of the letters of exemption and indemnification to Mr. and Mrs. Shani is reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances, given Mr. and Mrs. Shani's considerable contribution to the Company, their involvement in the day-to-day activities and taking into account their exposure as senior officers of the Company.
9.2.4 The re-approval of the letters of exemption and indemnification to Mr. and Mrs. Shani, with the same wording as the letters issued to other officers of the Company, is consistent with the Company's policy which does not discriminate between officers with regard to protecting them against exposures that can be insured and indemnified, in matters relating to their position as officers of the Company.
9.2.5 The transaction is in favour of the company.

My activities within the scope of my office as an office holder of the Company, as long as they are carried out in good faith, as long as they are not connected to me or my relatives or the Corporations personally, are not considered to be acts amounting to a conflict of interest or competition with the business of the Company or usurpation of a business opportunity of the Company with the object of obtaining a benefit for myself or any other person (hereinafter, "Breach of Trust") and do not harm the best interest of the Company, just because me or my relatives are stakeholders in the Corporations.

I possess all the skills required and the capacity to devote the appropriate time to perform my position as director of the Company, with attention inter alia to the special needs and size of the Company.
Likewise, I undertake that if any of the conditions required under the Law for my office as director of the Company cease to exist in my case, or if a ground for the expiration of my office as director of the Company exists in my case, I shall notify the Company thereof immediately and my office shall expire from the date of notification as stated in Section 227A of the Law (as set forth in Appendix A). I know that pursuant to Section 234 of the Law, a breach of such duty of notification shall be deemed a Breach of Trust on my part to the Company.
After having closely read and understood all that stated above, I declare that all that stated above is the truth and that I am fully aware of all my obligations and rights under the Law and Regulations.
