Item 4.     Description of Securities
 
Not Applicable.
 
Item 5.     Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
 
Not Applicable.
 
Item 6.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
           The Registrant’s Articles provide that, subject to the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law, the Registrant may:
 
(1)  
Obtain insurance for its office holders covering liability for any act performed in their respective capacities as an office holder with respect to:
 
·
A violation of the duty care to the Registrant or to another person;
 
·  
A breach of fiduciary duty, provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had reasonable grounds to assume that the act would not cause the Registrant harm; and
 
·
A monetary liability imposed on an officer holder for the benefit of another person.
 
(2)  
Undertake to indemnify its officer holders, or indemnify an office holder retroactively for a liability imposed or approved by a court and for reasonable legal fees incurred by the office holder in his or her capacity as an office holder, in proceedings instituted against
 
 
 

 
 
the office holder by the Registrant, on its behalf or by a third party, in connection with criminal proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted, or as a result of a conviction for a crime that does not require proof of criminal intent. An advance undertaking to indemnify an office holder must be limited to categories of events that can be reasonably foreseen, and to an amount which is reasonable under the circumstances, as determined by the board of directors.
 
The Registrant may exempt, in advance, an office holder from all or part of his or her responsibility for damages occurring as a result of a breach of his or her duty of care. The Registrant may also approve an action taken by the office holder, even if performed in breach of his or her fiduciary duty, if the office holder was acting in good faith, the action does not adversely affect the Registrant and the office holder has revealed to the Registrant’s board his or her personal interest in the action.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Registrant may not insure, indemnify or exempt an office holder for any breach of his or her fiduciary duty, or for a violation of his or her duty of care (1) if the act was committed recklessly or with intent, (2) if the act was committed with the intent to realize improper personal gain, or (3) for any fine imposed on the office holder, except as provided above.
 
As required under Israeli law, the Registrant’s Audit Committee, board of directors and shareholders have approved the indemnification and insurance of the Registrant’s office holders, as well as the resolutions necessary both to exempt its office holders in advance from any liability for damages arising from a breach of their duty of care to the Registrant, and to provide them with the indemnification undertakings and insurance coverage they have received from the Registrant in accordance with the Registrant’s Articles.

Item 9.    Undertakings
 
(a)           The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)  
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
 
 
 


 
 
(i)
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
 
(ii)
to reflect in the prospectus of any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
 
 
(iii)
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
 
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

 
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment of any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
 
(4)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchase in the initial distribution of the securities:
 
The undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
(i)  
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
 
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;
 
(iii)           The portion of any other free writing prosepectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and
 
 
 

 
 
(iv)           Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
 
 
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 
(h)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Migdal Ha’Emek, Israel on this 17th day of December, 2008.
