Proposal No. 3

RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY'S INSURANCE POLICIES
CONCERNING INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS’ AND OFFICERS' LIABILITY, INCLUDING
 AS DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY'S SUBSIDIARIES

In October 2009, our shareholders approved the future purchase by the Company of an insurance policy for directors' and officers' liability, including as directors or officers of the Company's subsidiaries, in substantially the same terms and conditions as the existing policy, for the period commencing on April 1, 2010 and ending on March 31, 2011. The maximum coverage amount under such policy and the maximum premium to be paid by the Company for such policy shall not exceed US $10,000,000 and US $80,000, respectively.

Due to the negotiations held at that time by the Company and S.A. Vitec for the sale of the Company's video business to subsidiaries of S.A. Vitec, our insurers did not agree to sell a new insurance policy and the existing policy at that time was prolonged, under the same terms, until July 31, 2010. Following the closing on July 1, 2010 of the transaction for the sale of the video business of the Company, a new insurance policy was purchased by the Company. Such  policy covers a total liability of US $10,000,000 and the premium paid by the Company with respect to such insurance policy is approximately US $53,000. The policy is for a one-year period and is due to expire on July 31, 2011.

Following the approval by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors, it is proposed to ratify and approve the purchase by the Company of the following insurance policies: (i) an insurance policy for directors' and officers' liability, including as directors or officers of the Company's subsidiaries for the period commencing on April 1, 2010 and ending on July 31, 2010; (ii) an insurance policy for directors' and officers' liability, including as directors or officers of the Company's subsidiaries for the period  commencing on August 1, 2010 and ending on July 31, 2011; and (iii)  a future purchase by the Company of an insurance policy for directors' and officers' liability, including as directors or officers of the Company's subsidiaries, in substantially the same terms and conditions as the existing policy, for the period commencing on August 1, 2011 and ending on July 31, 2012. The maximum coverage amount under such policy and the maximum yearly premium to be paid by the Company for such policy shall not exceed US $10,000,000 and US $80,000, respectively.

It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
 
“RESOLVED, that the Company's purchase  of insurance policies with respect to directors' and officers' liability, including as directors of officers of the Company's subsidiary for, which terms have been approved by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors, and as presented to the shareholders, be, and the same hereby is, ratified and approved. ”

Notwithstanding the above, the Company may terminate the Employment Agreement and Mr. Wyler's employment immediately for Cause, as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement.

Effectiveness of Existing Agreements: The Employment Agreement does not derogate from any other rights granted to Mr. Wyler, including inter alia, Mr. Wyler's options to purchase Shares as approved by the Company's shareholders on December 16, 2004, Mr. Wyler's restricted shares as approved by the Company's shareholders on December 20, 2007 and Mr. Wyler's right for reimbursement of expenses in an aggregate annual amount that shall not exceed $50,000 as approved by the Company's shareholders on November 8, 2006.

The Reasoning for the Compensation Committee, Audit Committee and Board of Directors for the Approval of This Proposal

The Compensation Committee, Audit Committee and Board of directors stated in their approval of the Employment Agreement that the proposed Employment Agreement is intended to compensate Mr. Wyler for his service as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and his continued contribution to the Company's development. The Compensation Committee, Audit Committee and Board of Directors further noted that the terms of the proposed Employment Agreement are reasonable, taking into consideration, among other things, the services performed by Mr. Wyler in the Company, the overall compensation received by Mr. Wyler from the Company (including the proposed compensation detailed under Proposals 5 and 7 below) and comparable compensation paid to senior officers in companies of the size of the Company. In light of all of the above, the Compensation Committee, Audit Committee and Board of Directors concluded that the proposed Employment Agreement is to the benefit of the Company.

Fair Value of the Options

The Company estimates the fair value of the Options proposed to be granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the expected stock price volatility and the expected term of the Options. Expected volatility is calculated based upon actual historical stock price movements. The expected term of the Options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, and is determined based on the simplified method in accordance with SAB No. 110. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company elected to use the simplified method to estimate the expected option term. The Company continues to use the simplified method as it has determined that sufficient data is not available to develop an estimate of the expected option term based upon historical participant behavior. The risk free interest rate is based on the yield from U.S. treasury bonds with an equivalent term. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to pay dividends. The fair value was estimated at the date of Board of Directors' approval using the following weighted average assumptions: Volatility 61%, Risk-free interest rate 1.51%, Dividend yield 0% and Expected life of 4.75 years.
 
Accordingly, the fair value of the Options is estimated at approximately $128,000.
 
The Reasoning for  the Compensation Committee, Audit Committee and Board of Directors for the Approval of This Proposal
 
The Compensation Committee, Audit Committee and Board of Directors stated in their approval of the proposed grant of Options to Mr. Wyler and that the proposed grant is intended to compensate Mr. Wyler for his service as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, and in particular, for the successful signing of the asset purchase agreement for the sale of the Company's video technologies business to Optibase Technologies Ltd. and the entering into the real estate transactions by the Company. The Options proposed to be granted to Mr. Wyler are intended to encourage him to continue his contribution for the development of the Company. The Compensation Committee, Audit Committee and Board of Directors further stated that the terms of grant are reasonable under the circumstances taking into consideration, among other things, the overall compensation paid to Mr. Wyler for his services. In light of all of the above, the Compensation Committee, Audit Committee and Board of Directors concluded that the proposed grant is to the Company's benefit.
 
It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
 
“RESOLVED, that the grant of 200,000 options to Mr. Shlomo (Tom) Wyler, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, who is also considered the controlling shareholder of the Company under the Company's 1999 Israeli Share Option Plan, having been approved by the Compensation Committee, Audit Committee and Board of Directors, and as presented to the shareholders, be, and same hereby is, approved.”
 
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of this proposed resolution.
