11. Manager's Insurance
11.1.The Company shall contribute at the end of each month during the

the Salary for the preceding month to a Managers Insurance (Bituach

pension plan ("PENSION PLAN"), as shall be decided by the Employee, through
an agency to be selected by the Company, to be divided as follows: (i)
8.33% towards severance pay (the "COMPANY'S SEVERANCE CONTRIBUTION"); and
(ii) either (a) in the case of a Policy, 5% toward provident (compensation)
payments, subject to deduction of 5% from the Employee's Salary as detailed
below; or (b) in the case of a Pension Plan, 6% toward provident
(compensation) payments, subject to deduction of 5.5% from the Employee's
Salary, as detailed below. In case the employee chooses a Policy, the
Company shall pay a percentage of the Salary required in order to insure
75% of the Salary (and in any event no more than 2.5% of the Salary)
towards loss of working capacity disability insurance pursuant to the
Company's disability insurance. The Employee agrees that the Company shall
deduct from the Salary an amount equal to 5% or 5.5% of the Salary, as
applicable, for the preceding month, and shall pay such amount as premium
payable in respect of the provident compensation component of Policy or the
Pension Plan, as the case may be. In the event the Employee elects to be
insured under a combination of the Policy and Pension Plan, the Employee
may determine the allocation between the two, provided that, in any event
the Company's contributions will not exceed the maximum amounts set forth
above.
11.2.The Company undertakes to transfer the Policy or the Pension Plan, as
applicable, to the Employee within a reasonable time after termination of
the Employee's employment with the Company, whether terminated by the
Company or the Employee.

that the Employee will be entitled to in the event of his termination, all
in accordance with the provisions of Section 14 of the Severance Pay Law,
5723-1963. The Employee's signature on this Agreement represents the
Employee's agreement to the content of this section. The Company waives in
advance any right it may have in the future for the return of the Company's
Severance Contributions, or any of them, unless:
11.3.1. The Employee's entitlement for severance pay has been deprived by a
judgment, under the provisions of sections 16 or 17 of the Severance
Pay Law, 5723-1963, and as long as it was so deprived; or
11.3.2. The employee has withdrawn monies from the Policy or the Pension
Plan, as applicable, not in circumstances of death, disability or
retirement at the age of 60 or more.
A copy of the Order and Confirmation Regarding Payments of Employers to the
Policy and Pension Plan instead of Severance Pay is attached as SCHEDULE C
to this Agreement.
11.4.The Company's contribution to the Policy or the Pension Plan, as
applicable, shall be calculated solely based on the Salary, and the
Employee's entitlement to severance pay, if any, shall be calculated solely
based on the Salary and no other payment, right or benefit to which the
Employee is entitled under this Agreement or by law shall be taken into
account in such calculations.
12. Further Education Fund. The Company together with the Employee will maintain
a Further Education Fund ("KEREN Hishtalmut"). Each month, the Company shall
contribute to such fund an amount equal to 7.5% of the Salary and the Employee
shall contribute to such fund an amount equal to 2.5% of the Salary. All of the
Employee's aforementioned contributions shall be transferred to the fund by the
Company by deducting such amounts from each monthly Salary payment.
Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the Employee may instruct the Company in writing
to contribute to such fund only the amount that is tax exempted and to increase
the Salary (and all related payments) proportionately such that the aggregate
cost to the Company for payments made by it to the Employee shall remain the
same as if the Company was contributing the full amount to such fund.

performance criteria as shall be determined by the Board from time to time. In

REASONABLENESS OF PROTECTIVE COVENANTS
14. Insofar as the protective covenants set forth in this Schedule are
concerned, Employee specifically acknowledges, stipulates and agrees as follows:
(i) the protective covenants are reasonable and necessary to protect the
goodwill, property and Proprietary Information of the Company, and the
operations and business of the Company; and (ii) the time duration of the
protective covenants is reasonable and necessary to protect the goodwill and the
operations and business of Company, and does not impose a greater restrain than
is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of the Company.
Nevertheless, if any of the restrictions set forth in this Schedule is found by
a court having jurisdiction to be unreasonable or overly-broad as to geographic
area, scope or time or to be otherwise unenforceable, the parties hereto intend
for the restrictions set forth in this Schedule to be reformed, modified and
redefined by such court so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so
modified by such court, to be fully enforced.
REMEDIES FOR BREACH
15. Employee acknowledges that the legal remedies for breach of the provisions
of this Schedule may be found inadequate and therefore agrees that, in addition
to all of the remedies available to Company in the event of a breach or a
threatened breach of any of such provisions, the Company may also, in addition
to any other remedies which may be available under applicable law, obtain
temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctions against any and all such
actions.
INTENT OF PARTIES

essential to protect the business of Company and to realize and derive all the
benefits, rights and expectations of conducting Company's business; (ii) that
the area and duration of the protective covenants contained herein are in all
things reasonable; and (iii) that good and valuable consideration exists under
the Agreement, for Employee's agreement to be bound by the provisions of this
Schedule.
17. Employee's undertakings set forth in this Schedule B shall remain in full
force and effect after termination of the Agreement or any renewal thereof, for
any reason whatsoever, provided, however, that the provisions of Sections 12 and
