Schedule 1.3(a)(i)

ACTION BY UNANIMOUS WRITTEN CONSENT
OF THE SHAREHOLDERS
OF NEGEVTECH LTD.
(IN LIEU OF A GENERAL MEETING AND ANY ADJOURNMENT
THEREOF)
DATED SEPTEMBER 17, 2006


In lieu of a General Meeting of the shareholders of Negevtech Ltd. (the “Company”), the undersigned, constituting all of the shareholders of the Company, hereby waive any requirement of prior notice and separate class meetings and adopt the following resolutions as resolutions in writing:

 

 

1.

Changes in Share Capital

          In connection with the closing of the Company’s proposed Series BB-4 Preferred Shares financing (the first of such closings, if there will be more than one, the “Closing” and the “Financing”, respectively) it is necessary to make certain changes to the Company’s registered (authorized) and unissued and registered (authorized) and issued share capital. Accordingly, the following resolutions are hereby unanimously adopted:

 

 

 

 

1.1.

Increase in Registered (Authorized) Share Capital and Creation of New Class of Shares; Amendment of Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association

 

 

 

 

 

Resolved, unanimously all subject to and effective immediately prior to the Closing, to increase the registered (authorized) share capital of the Company by NIS 94,301 divided into 2,563,700 newly created Series BB-4 Preferred Shares nominal value NIS 0.01 each (“Series BB-4 Preferred Shares”) and 6,866,400 Ordinary Shares nominal value NIS 0.01 each (“Ordinary Shares”) and to amend the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association of the Company accordingly.

 

 

 

 

 

The powers, preferences, rights and restrictions of the Series BB-4 Preferred Shares and other matters relating thereto shall be as set forth from time to time in the Articles of Association of the Company.

 

 

 

 

1. 2

Sale and Conversion of Shares Held by Founders

 

 

 

 

 

Dr. Gadi Neumann and Mr. David Alumot (jointly the “Founders”) have conveyed their interest in selling all their shares in the Company in connection with the Financing. In connection with such sale by the Founders, all 1,569,004 Ordinary-Preferred Shares nominal value NIS 0.01 each (“Ordinary-Preferred Shares”) held by the Founders will be converted into the same number (i.e, on an one for one basis) of Ordinary Shares, and upon such conversion arid pursuant to Article 10 of the Company’s current Articles of Association (the “Current Articles”), the Company shall issue to the Founders an additional 867,336 fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares (an amount from the share premium account equal to the nominal value of such additional Ordinary Shares being attributed as payment on account of the nominal value of such additional Ordinary Shares). Accordingly, the total number of Ordinary Shares resulting from the conversion of all Ordinary-Preferred Shares will be 2,436,340 Ordinary Shares. All of these Ordinary Shares will be sold by the Founders to Amadeus III and Amadeus III Affiliates Fund LP (collectively, “Amadeus”), the lead investor in the Financing. Immediately upon the consummation of the transfer of the Ordinary Shares as aforesaid, the Company has agreed to convert such Ordinary Shares into the same number of Series BB-4 Preferred Shares with equal rights to the Series BB-4 Preferred Shares being issued to the investors in the Financing, in consideration for the payment to the Company of US$0.5799 per share (the “Conversion Consideration”). As an inducement to the Company’s agreement to such conversion, the Founders agreed to extend their non competition undertakings and reaffirm their undertaking to cooperate with the Company.

The Ordinary Shares resulting from such conversion including the additional Ordinary Shares so issued shall collectively be referred to as the “‘Transfer Shares”;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

The Ordinary Shares resulting from such conversion including the additional Ordinary Shares so issued shall collectively be referred to as the “Transfer Shares”;

 

 

 

 

(ii)

To approve the transfer at the Closing of the Transfer Shares to Amadeus notwithstanding any restrictions on transferability of shares by the Founders as set forth in the Current Articles or otherwise;

 

 

 

 

(iii)

Upon the transfer of the Transfer Shares from the Founders to Amadeus as aforesaid and receipt of payment from Amadeus of the Conversion Consideration, the Transfer Shares shall be automatically converted into the same number of Series BB-4 Preferred Shares and shall be registered as such in the Company’s Shareholders* Register and such Series BB-4. Preferred Shares shall have equal rights and rank pari passu in all respects with the Series BB-4 Preferred Shares being issued to the investors in the Financing, Such Series BB-4 Preferred Shares and the Ordinary Shares into which they may be converted, when issued and paid for (or deemed paid for) in accordance with the aforesaid and the Company’s Articles of Association, as shall be in effect from time to time, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Resolved, unanimously, that general meetings of the shareholders of the Company be convened, for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the Company’s shareholders to the matters approved above and any other matters that may lawfully be brought for shareholder approval at such meeting.

Extension of Exercise Period of Options Granted to Noam Dotan

 

 

 

 

Noam Dotan (“Dotan”) was employed by the Company until August 31, 2005. In an Amendment to Dotan’s Employment Agreement, executed on March 1, 2005, the Company agreed that upon termination of Dotan’s employment, his unvested options scheduled to vest within a year of such termination shall accelerate and become immediately vested upon such termination and that any vested options (including due to acceleration) shall remain exercisable for a period of one year following termination. Since such one year period shall terminate on August 31, 2006 and due to that fact that Dotan is currently providing services to the Company, the Company wishes to extend the exercise period of Dotan’s vested options by one additional year, until August 31, 2007.

 

 

 

 

Resolved, to approve and ratify the Amendment to Dotan’s Employment Agreement as provided for above and to extend the exercise period of the vested options held by Dotan by one year, so that notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Company’s ESOP and/or in the Option Agreement between Dotan and the Company, all vested options, as described above, hold by Dotan, shall be exercisable until August 31, 2007.
