Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Assignment Agreement

                  York Capital Management, for and on behalf of accounts managed
by it, and Bank Hapoalim B.M. (the "Bank") entered into a Loan Assignment
Agreement dated June 23, 2005 (as amended on July 18, 2005, the "Assignment
Agreement"), and on July 18, 2005, the Reporting Person consummated the
transactions contemplated by the Assignment Agreement by paying an aggregate
purchase price of $57,972,652 to the Bank to acquire all of the Bank's rights
and obligations under the Facility Agreement, as amended, between the Bank and
the Company (the "Facility Agreement"). The outstanding principal balance on the
assigned Facility Agreement (the "Loan") due by the Company to the Bank was
$70,400,000 as of July 18, 2005, and such outstanding principal balance of the
Loan was allocated by the Reporting Person among its advisory clients as
follows: (i) $10,399,283 of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan was
allocated to York Capital; (ii) $43,600,672 of the outstanding principal balance
of the Loan was allocated to York Investment; and (iii) $16,400,045 of the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan was allocated to York Credit
Opportunities.

                  Pursuant to an Amendment dated April 1, 2004 to the Facility
Agreement between the Company and the Bank, as amended by the Amendment to
Facility Agreement and Warrant dated December 27, 2005 (the "December 2005
Amendment") between the Company and York Capital Management (as so amended, the
"Loan Amendment"), which Loan Amendment was assigned to the Reporting Person
pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, York Capital Management has the right to
instruct the Company to issue to it or to a third party a warrant or warrants
for the purchase of Shares (each, a "Warrant"), and the maximum exercise amount
that may be paid under all such Warrants shall equal the then outstanding
principal balance of the Loan, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

                  The exercise price per Share for a Warrant shall equal (i)
until September 30, 2006, $6.75 per Share and (ii) from and after October 1,
2006, the average closing sale price of a Share, as published by NASDAQ over the
thirty consecutive trading days immediately preceding the day of the notice of
exercise by the holder of such Warrant, plus 1%; provided, however, in no event
shall the exercise price per Share from and after October 1, 2006 be less than
$7.50 or more than (i) if exercised between July 1, 2005 and June 30, 2006,
$30.00; and (ii) if exercised between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007, $40.00.
Moreover, in the event that the Company completes a private placement investment
by a third party for an amount that exceeds $20 million, at the option of the
Reporting Person, the exercise price of a Warrant shall be based on the same
price offered in the private placement.

                               Page 6 of 21 Pages


                  The right to the Warrants can be exercised until June 30,
2007. Once issued, a Warrant will be exercisable for a thirty-day period. The
proceeds paid to the Company from the exercise of the Warrants shall be applied
to reduce all future installments of the principal due pursuant to the Facility
Agreement on a pro rata basis.

                  The Reporting Person shall be entitled to require the Company
to prepare a Registration Statement on Form F-3 covering a resale offering of
all of the Shares held by the holder(s) of the Warrants, including the Shares
underlying the Warrants. The Company shall be required to keep such Registration
Statement effective for 36 months from the date that such Registration Statement
is declared effective, other than between March 15 and June 30 of each year. In
addition, until June 30, 2007, the Reporting Person will be entitled to require
the Company to grant one "demand registration" with respect to the Shares
underlying one Warrant.

                  In addition, pursuant to the December 2005 Amendment, York
Capital Management granted to the Company the right to require the conversion of
the outstanding balance of the Loan at the conversion price of $6.75 per Share
at any time during the period until September 30, 2006 in the event that the
closing sale price of a Share, as published by NASDAQ, exceeds $9.00 per Share
for a period of twenty consecutive trading days, provided that the aggregate
trading volume during such twenty-day period is a minimum of 1,700,000 Shares.

                  Concurrently and in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Assignment Agreement, the Bank and York Capital
Management, for and on behalf of accounts managed by it, entered into the Share
Option Agreement dated July 18, 2005 (the "Option Agreement") pursuant to which
the Bank granted to York Capital Management (i) the option (the "Option") to
purchase up to 1,000,809 Shares (the "Option Shares") at any time until July 18,
2007 at an exercise price per Share equal to $6.30 plus 35% of the difference
between $6.30 and the Fair Market Price (as hereinafter defined) of a Share as
of the exercise date, provided that if the Fair Market Price of a Share is less
than $6.30, then the exercise price per Share shall be $6.30; (ii) after the
expiration of the Option and with respect to any Option Shares that have not
been purchased by exercise of the Option, the right of first offer to purchase
from the Bank any such remaining Option Shares on the terms and conditions
offered by the Bank by written notice before the Bank may sell such Shares to
another person; and (iii) the right of first offer to purchase from the Bank
1,051,619 Shares (the "Remaining Shares") on the terms and conditions offered by
the Bank by written notice before the Bank may sell such Shares to another
person. The "Fair Market Price" of a Share means the average of the closing
prices of a Share at the close of trading on each of the 30 consecutive trading
days on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange and NASDAQ immediately preceding the
exercise date of the Option; provided, however, that if the Fair Market Price of
a Share on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange is different than the Fair Market Price
of a Share on NASDAQ, then the Fair Market Price of a Share shall be the average
of the Fair Market Price of a Share on each of the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange and
NASDAQ.



                               Page 7 of 21 Pages


                  In addition, concurrently and in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Assignment Agreement, the
Bank granted to York Capital Management a two-year, irrevocable proxy dated July
18, 2005 (the "Bank Proxy") to exercise all the Bank's voting rights with
respect to the Option Shares and the Remaining Shares (which together total
2,052,428 Shares), provided that the Bank Proxy shall cover only such portion of
the Option Shares and Remaining Shares that are not sold by the Bank and,
provided, further, that the Bank Proxy shall only cover such portion of the
Option Shares and the Remaining Shares so that the Bank is not deemed to be, by
virtue of the Shares held by York Capital Management, a joint holder or
beneficial owner of 20% or more of the outstanding Shares.

                  Concurrently with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Assignment Agreement, the Bank sold 1,250,000 Shares (the
"Third Party Shares") to Mivtach Shamir Holdings Ltd. ("Shamir"), and pursuant
to the terms of such sale, Shamir granted to York Capital Management a two-year
irrevocable proxy dated July 23, 2005 (the "Shamir Proxy") to exercise all
Shamir's voting rights with respect to the Third Party Shares, provided that the
Shamir Proxy shall cover only such portion of the Third Party Shares that are
not sold by Shamir.

                  The preceding description of the Assignment Agreement, the
Loan Amendment, the December 2005 Amendment, the Warrant, the Option Agreement,

13D filed with the SEC on May 10, 2004.

and collectively, the "Issued Warrants"). The aggregate exercise amount of all
the Issued Warrants was $71,404,714, which was the then outstanding principal
balance of the Loan, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and the exercise
price of the Issued Warrants was $6.75 per Share.
