Corporations ”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of the Agreement and in accordance with the Israeli
Companies Law 5759 - 1999 (together with the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, the “ Israeli Companies Law ”), OIS,
Merger Sub and MediVision intend to effect the merger of Merger Sub
with and into MediVision (the “ Merger ”), pursuant to which
Merger Sub will cease to exist, MediVision’s outstanding
shares will be converted into shares of OIS common stock, and
MediVision will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of OIS, all in
accordance with this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, (i) each of the audit committee and
the board of directors of MediVision (without taking into
consideration directors required to abstain from such vote pursuant
to the Israeli Companies Law) has: (A) determined that this
Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by
this Agreement are fair to, and in the best interests of,
MediVision and its shareholders; and (B) approved this
Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by
this Agreement; and (ii) the board of directors of MediVision
has determined: (A) that, considering the financial position
of the Constituent Corporations, no reasonable concern exists that

unable to fulfill the obligations of MediVision to its creditors;
and (B) to recommend to the shareholders of MediVision the
approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, MediVision currently owns approximately 56%
of the issued and outstanding OIS Common Stock; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of OIS (the
“ OIS Board ”) has established a special committee composed of
disinterested members of the OIS Board (the “
OIS Special Committee ”) to review and evaluate the terms and conditions, and
determine the advisability, of a possible business combination with
MediVision; and
WHEREAS, the OIS Special Committee has negotiated
the terms and conditions of this Agreement on behalf of OIS and has
(i) determined that the Merger is advisable for, fair to, and
in the best interests of, OIS and its stockholders (other than
MediVision and MediVision’s Affiliates) and
(ii) recommended the approval of this Agreement by the OIS
Board; and
WHEREAS, the OIS audit committee and the OIS Board
each have, based upon the recommendation of the OIS Special
Committee, (i) determined that the Merger is advisable for,
fair to, and in the best interests of, OIS and its stockholders
(other than MediVision and MediVision’s Affiliates),
(ii) approved and adopted this Agreement and declared its
advisability
and approved the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) recommended the
approval of this Agreement by the stockholders of OIS;
and
WHEREAS, the board of directors of Merger Sub (A)
approved the Agreement, the Merger, and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, (B) determined that, considering
the financial position of the Constituent Corporations, no
reasonable concern exists that the Surviving Corporation will be
unable to fulfill the obligations of Merger Sub to its creditors;
and (C) determined to recommend to OIS, as its sole shareholder,
the approval of this Agreement, the Merger, and the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, each of the parties identified in
Schedule R-1 (such parties collectively being referred to
herein as the “ Principal MV
Shareholders ”) and OIS have
entered into a Voting Agreement substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Voting Agreement ”);
and
WHEREAS, OIS intends that following consummation of
the Merger hereunder, the Surviving Corporation shall continue to
perform MediVision’s activities in Israel and other
jurisdictions, substantially in the manner performed prior to the
Merger contemplated hereunder; and
WHEREAS, prior to or concurrently with the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, OIS, MediVision, and the Principal
MV Shareholders are, as applicable, entering into: (i) a
Registration Rights Agreement substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”); (ii) a Right of First Refusal and Preemptive
Rights Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as

(the “ OIS Articles
”), substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit E, and (ii) Amended and Restated Bylaws of OIS (the
“ OIS Amended and Restated

merged with and into MediVision in accordance with the Israeli
Companies Law, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub
shall thereupon cease; (b) MediVision shall be the surviving

cause Merger Sub to deliver) to the Registrar of Companies of the
State of Israel (the “ Companies

holders of Shares may be entitled (such cash and certificates for
shares of OIS Common Stock being hereinafter referred to as the
“ Conversion Fund
”). Following the Effective Time, subject to
surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu
thereof as provided in Section 4.02(g)) or the CIK Shares, the
Conversion Agent shall deliver the Conversion Shares and cash in an

letter of transmittal, in a form to be agreed upon by the parties
hereto, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting surrender
by such holder of its Certificates to the Conversion Agent in
consideration for the Conversion Shares (collectively, the
“ Letters of Transmittal
”).
(B) The holder of
each Certificate, upon the surrender of such Certificate by such
holder to the Conversion Agent (or the delivery of the affidavit
and bond, if any, specified in Section 4.02(g)), together with a
Letter of Transmittal duly completed and validly executed by such
holder in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other
documents as may reasonably be required by the Conversion Agent,
shall, subject to Section 4.02(e) be entitled to receive in
exchange for such Certificate a certificate representing the number
of shares of OIS Common Stock for which the Shares theretofore
represented by such Certificate may be converted pursuant to
Section 4.01, and such surrendered Certificate shall forthwith
thereafter be cancelled and retired.
(C) Each
Certificate shall be deemed at all times from and after the
Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon
conversion as contemplated in this Section 4.02, the Conversion
Shares to which the holder of the Shares formerly represented by
such Certificate is entitled to receive in the Merger.
(c)
Distributions with Respect to Unconverted
Shares . All shares of OIS Common Stock
to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed issued and
outstanding as of the Effective Time and, whenever a dividend or
other distribution is declared by OIS in respect of the OIS Common
Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time,
that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in
respect of all shares of OIS Common Stock issuable pursuant to this
Agreement. No dividends or other distributions in respect of the
OIS Common Stock shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered
Certificate or CIK Share until such Certificate (or affidavits of
loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.02(g)) or CIK Share
is surrendered for conversion in accordance with this
Article IV. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws,
following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavits of loss
in lieu thereof
6
as provided in Section 4.02(g)) or CIK Share, there
shall be issued to the holder of the certificates representing
whole shares of OIS Common Stock issued in conversion thereof,
without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the
dividends or other distributions with a record date and payment
date after the Effective Time and on or prior to such surrender
date, that were received by the Conversion Agent with respect to
such whole shares of OIS Common Stock held by it and (ii) at
the appropriate payment date as determined by the Conversion Agent,
the dividends or other distributions paid and received by the
Conversion Agent with respect to such whole shares of OIS Common
Stock with a record date after the Effective Time but with a
payment date subsequent to surrender.
(d)
Transfers . From and
after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the share
transfer books of MediVision of the Shares that were outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(e)
Fractional Shares . No
certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of OIS Common
Stock shall be issued upon the surrender of certificates formerly
representing Shares or otherwise in the Merger, and in lieu
thereof, any fractional share of OIS Common Stock shall be rounded
up to the nearest whole Share of OIS Common Stock; provided that,
prior to applying such rounding mechanism with respect to any
holder of Shares, all Shares held by such holder shall be
aggregated, taking into account all certificates formerly
representing Shares delivered by such holder and the aggregate
number of Shares represented thereby, and after giving effect to
the exercise of any MediVision Options or MediVision Rights to be
exercised by such holder in connection with the Closing.
(f)
Termination of Conversion Fund
. Any portion of the Conversion Fund that remains
unclaimed by MediVision shareholders for 180 days after the
Effective Time shall be delivered to OIS. Any holder of Shares who
has not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall
thereafter look only to OIS for delivery of the Conversion Shares,
without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none
of OIS, the Surviving Corporation, the Conversion Agent or any
other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any
amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to
applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. For the
purposes of this Agreement, the term “ Person ” shall mean any
individual, corporation (including not-for-profit), general or
limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture,
estate, trust, association, organization, Governmental Entity (as
defined in Section 5.01(d)(i)) or other entity of any kind or
nature.

have been lost, stolen, destroyed or never issued, upon the making
of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such
Certificate to be lost, stolen, destroyed or never issued and, if
required by OIS, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary
amount and upon such terms as may be required by OIS as indemnity
against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such
Certificate, the Surviving Corporation or the Conversion Agent will
issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen, destroyed or never issued
Certificate, the shares of OIS Common Stock and any cash, unpaid
dividends or other distributions that would have been payable or
deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement had such
lost, stolen, destroyed, or never issued Certificate been
surrendered.

(h)
Withholding Rights .
Each of OIS, the Surviving Corporation, and the Conversion Agent
shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration
otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of
Shares, MediVision Options or MediVision Rights (collectively, the
“ Holders ”), such amounts as OIS, the Surviving Corporation or the
Conversion Agent reasonably determines it may be required to deduct
and withhold with respect to the making of any payment pursuant to
this Agreement under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and by rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the
“ Code ”), the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961,
as amended and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the
“ Ordinance ”), or any other applicable United States, state, local,
Israeli or foreign Tax (as defined in Section 5.01(l)) Law,
provided, however, that (i) if the Israeli Withholding Tax
Ruling (as defined in Section 6.12(c)(ii)) is obtained, deduction
and withholding of any amounts under the Ordinance or any other
provision of Israeli Law or requirement, if any, shall be made only
in accordance with the provisions of the Israeli Withholding Tax
Ruling; (ii) if a Withholding Tax Extension (as defined in
Section 6.12(c)(ii)) is obtained, the parties shall fully comply
with the provisions of any such Withholding Tax Extension with
respect to Taxes covered thereby; and (iii) if any holder of
record of Shares provides the Conversion Agent or OIS with a valid
approval or ruling issued by the applicable Governmental Entity
regarding the withholding (or exemption from withholding) of
Israeli Tax from the Conversion Shares in a form reasonably
satisfactory to OIS, then the deduction and withholding of any such
Taxes under the Ordinance or any other provision of Israeli Law or
requirement, if any, from the Conversion Shares payable to such
holder of record of Shares shall be made only in accordance with
the provisions of such approval; provided, further, that OIS shall
be entitled but not obligated to deduct and withhold from any
shares of OIS Common Stock payable or otherwise deliverable by
withholding a portion or all of such shares otherwise deliverable
and selling such shares to cover its withholding obligations.
MediVision shall provide, as requested by OIS or the Conversion
Agent, copies (or originals) of all withholding documentation and
related information that may be necessary to determine whether any
payment is subject to withholding and to calculate the proper
amount (if any) required to be withheld with respect to any payment
to any Holder contemplated under this Agreement. To the extent that
amounts are so withheld by OIS or any party on OIS’s behalf,
such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by the party who
withheld such amounts to the applicable Governmental Entity when
and as lawfully required and (ii) shall be treated for all
purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of
Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made
by OIS.
(i)
Uncertificated MediVision Shares
. OIS shall cause the Conversion Agent to (i) issue
in registered form, as of the Effective Time, to each holder of CIK
Shares, that number of whole shares of OIS Common Stock that such
holder is entitled to receive in respect of each such CIK Share
pursuant to this Article IV and (ii) mail to each such holder
the Letter of Transmittal and such other materials to be reasonably
agreed by OIS and MediVision prior to the Effective Time advising
such holder of the effectiveness of the Merger and the conversion
of such holder’s Shares into the Conversion Shares pursuant
to the Merger and a check (after giving effect to any required Tax
withholdings) for any cash in payment of any dividend or other
distribution in respect of such CIK Shares, in each case without
any action by such holders.
Section 4.03
Adjustments .
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if,
between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the
issued and outstanding Shares
8
or the issued and outstanding shares of OIS Common
Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or
a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split
(including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution,
recapitalization, redenomination, merger, or other similar
transaction, then the Conversion Shares shall be equitably adjusted
and, as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event,
be the Conversion Shares or other dependent item.
|
|
Section 4.04
|
Treatment of Stock Options and
Warrants .
|
(a)
Stock Options . At the
Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Shares (a
“ MediVision Option
”) under the Option Plans (as defined in
Section 5.01(b)(i)(A)), whether or not exercisable and whether or
not vested, shall be assumed by OIS such that it is converted into
an option (a “ Replacement
Option ”) to purchase a number of
shares of OIS Common Stock equal to the number of Shares underlying
such MediVision Option multiplied by the Conversion Ratio, at an
exercise price per share of Common Stock equal to the exercise
price per Share of such MediVision Option as in effect immediately
prior to the Closing divided by the Conversion Ratio and with such
other terms and conditions as were applicable to such MediVision
Option (including any repurchase rights or vesting provisions);
provided, that OIS shall use its reasonable efforts to effect the
conversion in such a manner that the Replacement Options shall have
the same tax attributes as the MediVision Options; provided,
however, that (i) the exercise price and the number of shares of
OIS Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Replacement Options
shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of
Sections 409A, 422 and 424(a) of the Code, as applicable; (ii)
for the purposes of converting option exercise prices, euros will
be converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at
the close of business on the trading date prior to the date of this
Agreement; and (iii) the Replacement Options will be issued
pursuant to the terms of the OIS Option Plans. For purposes of this
Section 4.04(a), OIS shall be considered to have used its
"reasonable efforts" to effect the conversion of the MediVision
Options so that the Replacement Options have the same tax
attributes as the MediVision Options in the following
circumstances: (i) if the Options Tax Ruling is not issued prior to
the Effective Date, OIS issues “ Nonqualified Stock Options ,”
meaning options which do not qualify as incentive stock options
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code (“
ISOs ”), for all
of the Replacement Options; and (ii) if the Options Tax Ruling is
issued prior to the Effective Date, (A) for the MediVision Options
with favorable tax treatment under Israeli tax law as described in
Section 6.12(c)(i) (“ Favorable MV
Options ”), OIS coordinates the
issuance of such Replacement Options with the Options Tax Ruling so
that ISOs may be issued to the extent such conversion is permitted
and consistent with Sections 422 and 424(a) of the Code, and (B)
for the non-Favorable MV Options, OIS issues Nonqualified Stock
Options for such Replacement Options.
(b)
Warrants . At the
Effective Time, each outstanding warrant or other right (other than
the MediVision Options) to purchase Shares (a “
MediVision Right ”) shall be assumed by OIS such that it is converted into
a warrant or other right of corresponding nature (a “
Replacement Right ”) to purchase a number of shares of OIS Common Stock
equal to the number of Shares underlying such MediVision Right
multiplied by the Conversion Ratio, at an exercise price per share
of common stock equal to the exercise price per Share of such
MediVision Right as in effect immediately prior to the Closing
divided by the Conversion Ratio and with such other terms and
conditions as were applicable to such MediVision Right
9
(including any repurchase rights or vesting
provisions); provided, however, that (i) the exercise price and the
number of shares of OIS Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the
Replacement Rights shall be determined in a manner consistent with
the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, as applicable;
(ii) in the case of any MediVision Rightto which Section 422
of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of
OIS Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Replacement Rights
shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing, subject to
such adjustments as are necessary to satisfy the requirements of
Section 424(a) of the Code; (iii) for the purposes of
converting warrant exercise prices, euros will be converted into
U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the close of
business on the trading date prior to the date of this Agreement;
and (iv) to the extent the provisions of any MediVision Right are
inconsistent with this Section 4.04(b), the provisions of such
MediVision Right shall be controlling; and (v) the Replacement
Rights will be issued pursuant to the terms of the existing
warrant.

Representations and Warranties of
MediVision . Except as set forth in the
corresponding sections or subsections of the disclosure letter

corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or
operation of its assets or properties or the conduct of its
business requires such qualification, except where the failure to

reasonably be expected to have a MediVision Material Adverse Effect
(as defined below). MediVision has made available to OIS complete
and correct copies of MediVision’s and its
Subsidiaries’ Charter or comparable governing documents, each
as amended to the date hereof, and each as so delivered is in full

contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the term
“ MediVision Material Adverse
Effect ” shall exclude events,
changes, circumstances and states of facts (I) that result or
arise from events, changes, circumstances or states of facts
generally affecting any industry in which MediVision or any of its
Subsidiaries operates or the economy in any of the countries in
which MediVision or any of its Subsidiaries operates,
(II) that result or arise from events, changes, circumstances

MediVision Disclosure Letter, there are no preemptive or other
outstanding rights, options, warrants, conversion rights, stock
appreciation rights, redemption rights, repurchase rights,
agreements, arrangements, calls, commitments or rights of any kind
that obligate MediVision or any of its Subsidiaries to issue or
sell any shares of share capital or other securities of MediVision
or any of its Subsidiaries or any securities or obligations
convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for, or giving any
Person a right to subscribe for or acquire, any securities of
MediVision or any of its Subsidiaries, and no securities or
obligations evidencing any such rights are authorized, issued or
outstanding. Upon any issuance of any Shares in accordance with the
terms of the Option Plans or warrants or convertible loan set forth
in Section 5.01(b)(i) of the MediVision Disclosure Letter
(including payment therefor), such Shares will be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. MediVision does not
have outstanding any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations
the holders of which have the right to vote (or convertible into or
exercisable for securities having the right to vote) with the
shareholders of MediVision on any matter.
(ii) The
Shares are listed for trading on the Euronext Stock Exchange in
Brussels, Belgium. Such listing is in complete force and effect as

CCS is bound by any Contract relating to CCS or its ownership or
governance that would be violated or breached by the consummation
of the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby,
and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated hereby will not have a MediVision Material Adverse

result or arise from events, changes, circumstances or states of
facts affecting general worldwide economic or capital market
conditions, which in the case of each of the immediately preceding
