ANNUAL MEETING OF THE STOCKHOLDERS
OF AROTECH CORPORATION
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 14, 2004

-----------------------
PROXY STATEMENT
-----------------------

The accompanying proxy is solicited by and on behalf of the Board of
Directors of Arotech Corporation, for use at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders
and any postponements and adjournments thereof. The meeting is currently planned
to be held in the Ballroom of the Shelburne Murray Hill Hotel, 303 Lexington
Avenue, New York, New York, on Monday, June 14, 2004 at 10:00 a.m. local time,
and thereafter as it may be postponed or adjourned from time to time, for the
purposes described in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Stockholders of record at the close of business on April 16, 2004 will be
entitled to vote at the annual meeting. As of April 16, 2004, there were
63,656,843 shares of our common stock outstanding held of record by 308
stockholders. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share on
each matter that comes before the annual meeting.

This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy to stockholders will
be mailed commencing on or about May 7, 2004. We are also mailing our annual
report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 to our stockholders along
with this proxy statement.

VOTING PROCEDURES AND VOTE REQUIRED

Proxies that are properly marked, dated, and signed, or submitted
electronically via the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions on
the proxy card, and not revoked will be voted at the annual meeting in
accordance with any indicated directions. If no direction is indicated, proxies
will be voted FOR the fixing of the number of Class III directors at three and
the election of the nominees for director set forth below, FOR ratification of
the appointment of Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kassierer, independent certified public
accountants in Israel and a member firm of Ernst & Young International, as our
independent accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004, FOR
amending our certificate of incorporation to increase our authorized share
capital from 100 million shares of common stock to 250 million shares of common
stock, FOR amending our 1995 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan to increase
initial grants to new directors from 25,000 options to 40,000 options, and to
increase annual grants to directors from 10,000 options to 25,000 options, FOR
approving and adopting the 2004 Employee Stock Option and Restricted Stock
Purchase Plan, and IN THE DISCRETION OF THE HOLDERS OF THE PROXIES with respect
to any other business that properly comes before the annual meeting and all
matters relating to the conduct of the annual meeting. If a broker indicates on
the enclosed proxy or its substitute that it does not have discretionary

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

authority as to certain shares to vote on a particular matter ("broker
non-votes"), those shares will not be considered as voting with respect to that
matter. We believe that the tabulation procedures to be followed by the
Inspector of Elections are consistent with the general requirements of Delaware
law concerning voting of shares and determination of a quorum.

You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by delivering to
the Secretary of our company a written revocation or a duly executed proxy
bearing a later date than the date of the proxy being revoked (including a proxy
voted over the Internet or by telephone). Any record stockholder attending the
annual meeting in person may revoke his or her proxy and vote his or her shares
at the annual meeting.

Votes cast by proxy or in person at the annual meeting will be tabulated
by the Inspector of Elections, with the assistance of our transfer agent. The
Inspector of Elections will also determine whether or not a quorum is present at
the annual meeting. The presence of a quorum is required to transact the
business proposed to be transacted at the annual meeting. The presence in person
or by proxy of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common
stock entitled to vote will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business
at the annual meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes (as defined above) will
be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum.

Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders
of our common stock voting in person or by proxy at the annual meeting.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote for election of
directors.

In order to be adopted, the proposal to amend our Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized share capital will
require the affirmative vote of a majority of ALL OUTSTANDING SHARES OF OUR
COMMON STOCK ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THIS PROPOSAL. As a result, abstentions and
broker non-votes will have the same practical effect as a negative vote on this
proposal. The adoption of all other proposals will require the affirmative vote
of a majority of the shares present, either in person or by proxy, and entitled
to vote with respect to such proposals. Abstentions and broker non-votes will
each be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum;
abstentions will have the same practical effect as a negative vote on these
proposals, and broker non-votes will not have any effect on the outcome of these
proposals.

The solicitation of proxies will be conducted by mail and we will bear all
attendant costs. These costs will include the expense of preparing and mailing
proxy solicitation materials for the annual meeting and reimbursements paid to
brokerage firms and others for their expenses incurred in forwarding
solicitation materials regarding the annual meeting to beneficial owners of our
common stock. We may conduct further solicitation personally, telephonically or
by facsimile through our officers, directors and employees, none of whom will
receive additional compensation for assisting with the solicitation.

We are not aware of any matters other than those described in this proxy
statement that will be acted upon at the annual meeting. In the event that any
other matters do come before the annual meeting for a stockholder vote, the

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

persons named as proxies in the form of proxy being delivered to you along with
this proxy statement will vote in accordance with their best judgment on those
matters.

At least ten days before the annual meeting, we will make a complete list
of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting open to the examination of
any stockholder for any purpose germane to the annual meeting. The list will be
open for inspection during ordinary business hours at our offices at 250 West
57th Street, Suite 310, New York, New York 10107, and will also be made
available to stockholders present at the annual meeting.

PROPOSAL NUMBER 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The annual meeting will consider the election of three Class III directors
for three-year terms that expire in 2007. Our four other directors have terms
that end in either 2005 or 2006, as indicated below. Unless instructions are
given to the contrary, each of the persons named as proxies will vote the shares
to which each proxy relates FOR the election of each of the nominees listed
below for a term of three years expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders
to be held in 2007, and until the nominee's successor is duly elected and
qualified or until the nominee's earlier death, removal or resignation. The
three nominees named below are presently serving as directors and all of them
are anticipated to be available for election and able to a serve. However, if
they should become unavailable, the proxy will be voted for substitute
nominee(s) designated by the Board. The three nominees who receive the greatest
number of votes properly cast for the election of directors will be elected.

Our by-laws provide for a Board of one or more directors, and the number
of directors currently is fixed at seven. Our Board is composed of three classes
of similar size. The members of each class are elected in different years, so
that only one-third of the Board is elected in any single year.

Mr. Ehrlich, Mr. Wasserman (who was appointed to fill a vacancy in the
Board) and Mr. Borey (who was appointed to fill a vacancy in the Board) are
designated as Class III directors. Their term expires in 2004. Dr. Eastman and
Mr. Esses are designated as Class I directors. Their term expires in 2006.
Messrs. Rosenfeld and Miller are designated as Class II directors. Their term
expires in 2005.

The following table contains information concerning the nominees for Class
III directors and the other incumbent directors:

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR FIXING THE

PROPOSAL NUMBER 2

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kassierer, independent certified public accountants
in Israel and a member firm of Ernst & Young International, have served as our
independent accountants since January 2000. The Audit Committee has selected
Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kassierer as our independent accountants for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2004 and has further directed that management submit
the selection of independent accountants for ratification by the stockholders at
the Annual Meeting.

Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kassierer served as the Company's independent
accountants during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. Kost, Forer, Gabbay
& Kassierer's report on the financial statements for the years ended December
31, 2003 and 2002 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion,
and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, auditing scope or
accounting principles. We do not anticipate that a representative of Kost,
Forer, Gabbay & Kassierer will be present at the Annual Meeting.

Stockholder ratification of the selection of Kost, Forer, Gabbay &
Kassierer as our independent accountants is not required by our by-laws or
otherwise. However, we are submitting the selection of Kost, Forer, Gabbay &
Kassierer to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate
practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee
will reconsider whether or not to retain Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kassierer. Even
if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct
the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during
the year if it is determined that such a change would be in the best interests
of the Company and its stockholders.

VOTE REQUIRED

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting at
which a quorum representing a majority of all outstanding shares of our common
stock is present and voting, either in person or by proxy, is required for
approval of this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will each be counted
as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum; abstentions
will have the same practical effect as a negative vote on this proposal, and
broker non-votes will not have any effect on the outcome of this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF
KOST, FORER, GABBAY & KASSIERER AS OUR INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS.

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

PROPOSAL NUMBER 3

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE FOUR OF
OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY
FROM 100,000,000 SHARES TO 250,000,000 SHARES.

GENERAL

The Board has approved a proposed amendment to Article Four of our Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of
common stock that we are authorized to issue from 100,000,000 to 250,000,000.
The Board has directed that the proposed amendment be submitted to a vote of our
stockholders at the annual meeting.

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation currently authorizes
101,000,000 shares of capital stock consisting of 100,000,000 shares of common
stock, $0.01 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par
value. The proposed amendment would increase the authorized common stock to
250,000,000 shares. The holders of common stock are entitled to (i) one vote for
each share of common stock registered in the name of such holder, (ii) receive
dividends on their shares of stock when and as declared by the Board, and (iii)
in the event of liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of our affairs, share
pro rata in the net assets available for distribution to holders of common stock
after satisfaction of the prior claims of the holders of preferred stock of any
series or any shares of any other class of capital stock ranking senior to the
common stock as to assets, in accordance with the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation.

As of April 16, 2004, 63,656,843 shares of common stock were issued and
outstanding. In addition: 18,720,040 shares of common stock are reserved for
issuance upon the exercise of warrants, 4,898,801 shares of common stock are
reserved for issuance upon the conversion of debentures, 7,576,041 shares of
common stock are reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options that have
previously been granted under our various stock option plans and 600,000 shares
of common stock are available for grant upon the exercise of stock options to be
granted under our various stock option plans (not including up to 7,500,000
options that would become available for grant upon stockholder approval of the
adoption of our 2004 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Purchase Plan - see
"Proposal Number 5," below). The total potential common stock issuable upon the
warrants, debentures and stock options plans above is 31,794,882, totaling
95,451,725 shares including the shares issued and outstanding.

The Board believes that it is in our best interests to increase the
authorized number of shares of common stock to 250,000,000 shares, which would
make available for issuance under our stock option plans as well as for issuance
in the future for other valid corporate purposes, including without limitation

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

future acquisitions, without further authorization of the stockholders (except
as may be required by applicable law or regulation). The Board believes that the
proposed amendment to Article Four will provide several long-term advantages to
us and our stockholders. The Board has frequently utilized options as a form of
non-cash compensation to employees and consultants. In addition, increased costs
related to our sales and marketing activities and potential acquisition
opportunities may require us to seek additional financing over the next several
years. An increase in our authorized shares would enable us to raise cash assets
through sales of common stock or other debt or equity securities convertible
into common stock to public and private investors without the need to seek
stockholder authorization at that time, which could significantly delay any such
financing. Finally, the passage of this proposal would also enable management,
with the approval of the Board, to pursue acquisitions or enter into
transactions or other business combinations which management believes provide
the potential for growth and profit.

CERTAIN EFFECTS, ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT

The proposal, if approved, would strengthen the position of management and
might make the removal of management more difficult, even if such removal would
be generally beneficial to our stockholders. The authorization to issue the
additional shares of common stock would provide management with a capacity to
negate the efforts of unfriendly tender offerors through the issuance of
securities to others who are friendly or desirable to management. Moreover, we
currently have in place certain provisions which have an anti-takeover effect.
Under the terms of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
directors are elected for a term of three years, and the Board is composed of
three classes of similar size, each elected in a different year, so that only
one-third of the Board is up for election in any single year. Additionally our
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for blank check
preferred stock. Moreover, certain provisions of our Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation permit the directors, in exercising their fiduciary
duties, including without limitation, evaluating a tender offer or exchange
offer for our stock or any merger or consolidation or any sale, lease, exchange
or transfer of all or substantially all of our assets, the acquisition of
securities of a third party or any reclassification, recapitalization or
reorganization of Arotech or any of its securities, to consider various factors,
including, among others, other constituencies such as employees, creditors,
customers and the economy. As a result of these provisions, a potential
purchaser of Arotech may be discouraged from attempting to acquire us, thereby
possibly depriving our stockholders of certain opportunities to sell or
otherwise dispose of their securities at above market prices as part of those
transactions. However, we have elected not to be governed by the provisions of
Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, an
anti-takeover statute which prohibits certain business combinations between a
Delaware corporation like us and an "interested stockholder," which is defined
as a person who, together with any of its affiliates and/or associates,
beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 15% or more of the outstanding voting
shares of a Delaware corporation.

This Proposal is not the result of the Board's knowledge of any specific
effort to obtain control of Arotech by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy
solicitation in opposition to management or otherwise. We are not submitting
this proposal to enable us to frustrate any efforts by another party to acquire

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

a controlling interest in us or to seek Board representation. The submission of
this proposal is not a part of any plan by our management to adopt a series of
amendments to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws
so as to render the takeover of Arotech more difficult.

Other than with respect to the issuance of shares in connection with our
stock option plans, including if approved by the stockholders, the Amended and
Restated Non-Employee Directors Plan, we currently have no specific plans or
proposals for the use of the additional shares, the authorization of which is
sought hereby. However, we could determine to issue additional shares at any
time. We have acquired four companies since June 2002, some of which involved
issuances of stock as part of the consideration for the acquisition and others
of which were financed in part through stock issuances, and from time to time we
evaluate proposals for further acquisitions. In the event this proposal is
passed, stockholder approval of the issuance of the 150,000,000 additional
shares of common stock will not be sought prior to the issuance of additional
securities unless such issuances relate to an increase in shares under certain
stock option plans, or to mergers, consolidations, issuances of more than 20% of
our outstanding stock under certain circumstances, or other transactions that
require stockholder approval pursuant to law, the SEC's regulations or the
Nasdaq's rules.

TEXT OF THE AMENDMENT

If this Proposal is adopted, the amended portion of Article Four of the
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will read as follows:

FOUR: The total number of shares of all classes of stock which
the Corporation shall have authority to issue is two hundred
fifty-one million (251,000,000) consisting of two classes of shares
designated as follows:

A. Two hundred fifty million (250,000,000) shares of common
stock, $0.01 par value, (the "Common Stock"); and

B. One million (1,000,000) shares of preferred stock, $0.01
par value, (the "Preferred Stock").

VOTE REQUIRED

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of ALL OUTSTANDING
SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THIS PROPOSAL will be required
for approval of this proposal. As a result, abstentions and broker non-votes
will have the effect of votes against the proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THE APPROVAL OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO
ARTICLE FOUR OF THE COMPANY'S AMENDED AND RESTATED
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE
AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY
FROM 100,000,000 SHARES TO 250,000,000 SHARES.

PROPOSAL NUMBER 4

APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED
1995 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN

GENERAL

We believe that stock-based awards are a key component to our ability to
retain and attract high quality directors to manage our business and affairs.
Our Amended and Restated 1995 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "1995
Plan") advances our interests by enhancing our ability to attract and retain
directors who are in a position to make significant contributions to our success
and to reward such directors for such contributions through ownership of shares
of our common stock.

The Plan currently provides that non-employee directors receive an initial
grant of options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock upon the effective
date of the 1995 Plan or upon their election as a director. Thereafter, these
directors receive options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock per year of
service on the Board.

The Board believes that in order to retain and attract new and existing
Board members it is necessary to increase the number of shares initially granted
to new board members and to increase the annual grant.

The Board's proposal is to increase the initial grant of options to
purchase shares of common stock to 40,000. Thereafter, non-employee directors
will receive options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock per year of
service on the Board.

DESCRIPTION OF THE 1995 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR PLAN

The following description of the principal terms of the 1995 Plan is a
summary and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the plan.

Administration. The 1995 Plan is administered by the Compensation
Committee. The Committee's responsibilities in respect of this plan include
adopting, amending and rescinding rules and regulations for the administration
of the 1995 Plan, interpreting the 1995 Plan, deciding any questions and
settling all controversies and disputes that may arise in connection with the
1995 Plan. Subject to the limitations of the 1995 Plan and applicable securities
laws, the Committee may waive compliance by a non-employee director with any
obligation to be performed by him under an option and waive any condition or
provision of an option. Because the 1995 Plan is a "formula" plan under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, non-employee directors may be members of the
committee administering the 1995 Plan. Accordingly, options to non-employee
directors are granted solely under the 1995 Plan and not under our regular stock
award plans. Each director who is not an employee of Arotech or any of its
subsidiaries will be eligible to receive options under the 1995 Plan.

Term of 1995 Plan. The 1995 Plan was approved by the Board on September
28, 1995 and was later amended on March 25, 1996. No options may be awarded
under the 1995 Plan after September 28, 2005, but the 1995 Plan shall continue
thereafter while previously awarded options remain subject to the 1995 Plan.

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

Shares Subject to 1995 Plan. Subject to adjustments set forth in the 1995
Plan, the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for issuance in
connection with options granted under the 1995 Plan shall be 500,000, subject to
customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.
If any option granted under the 1995 Plan terminates without having been
exercised in full, the number of shares of common stock as to which such option
was not exercised shall be available for future grants within certain limits
under the 1995 Plan.

Terms and Conditions of Options. The 1995 Plan currently provides that
non-employee directors will receive an initial grant of options to purchase
25,000 shares of common stock upon the effective date of the 1995 Plan or upon
their election as a director. Thereafter, these directors will receive options
to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock per year of service on the Board. The
Board's proposal is to increase the initial grant of options to purchase shares
of common stock to 40,000. Thereafter, non-employee directors will receive
options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock per year of service on the
Board.

The exercise price of each option shall be 100% of the fair market value
on the date of the grant which shall equal the closing price of the common stock
as reported on The Nasdaq National Market. The latest date on which an option
may be exercised is ten years from the date of the grant. Each grant of options
shall become exercisable in three equal installments on each of the first,
second and third anniversaries of the grant. The exercise price of options
granted under the 1995 Plan must be paid in cash, or by certified check, bank
draft or money order payable to our order, through the delivery of shares of
common stock, or by a combination of the above.

All outstanding options shall become exercisable prior to the consummation
of a merger or consolidation involving Arotech, any liquidation or dissolution
of Arotech, any sale of substantially all of our assets or any other transaction
or series of related transactions as a result of which a single person or
several persons acting in concert own a majority of our then outstanding common
stock. The Committee shall determine the exercise period for these outstanding
options, which shall not be less than 20 days prior to the consummation of the
merger, consolidation or other event. The Committee may also accelerate the
exercisability of such options in accordance with applicable securities law, in
which case, all then outstanding options not so exercised shall terminate and
cease to be exercisable. These options shall not become exercisable in the event
that (a) the holders of common stock prior to the consummation retain or acquire
securities constituting a majority of the outstanding voting common stock of the
acquiring or surviving corporation or other entity and (b) no single person owns
more than half of the voting common stock of the acquiring or surviving
corporation or other entity.

Miscellaneous. Neither adoption of the 1995 Plan nor the grant of options
to an eligible director shall confer upon any person any right to continued
status as a director with us or any subsidiary of ours or affect in any way our
right to terminate a director relationship at any time or shall affect our right

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

to grant to such director options that are not subject to the 1995 Plan, to
issue to such directors common stock as a bonus or otherwise, or to adopt other
plans or arrangements under which common stock may be issued to directors.

FEDERAL INCOME CONSEQUENCES

Please refer to the description of the federal income tax consequences
associated with the grant and exercise of nonstatutory stock options under
"Proposal Number 5," below.

VOTE REQUIRED

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR AMENDMENT OF
THE AMENDED AND RESTATED 1995 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN.

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

PROPOSAL NUMBER 5

APPROVAL OF THE 2004 STOCK OPTION
AND RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

GENERAL

On February 9, 2004, the Board of Directors adopted the 2004 Stock Option
and Restricted Stock Purchase Plan (the "2004 Plan"), subject to the approval of
the stockholders of Arotech.

The general purpose of the 2004 Plan is to provide an incentive to our
employees and consultants, including our executive officers and employees and
consultants of our subsidiaries, by enabling them to share in the future growth
of our business. The Board of Directors believes that the granting of stock
options promotes continuity of management and increases incentive and personal
interest in the welfare of Arotech by those who are primarily responsible for
shaping and carrying out our long range plans and securing our growth and
financial success.

The Board believes that the 2004 Stock Option and Restricted Stock
Purchase Plan will advance our interests by enhancing our ability to (a) attract
and retain employees and consultants who are in a position to make significant
contributions to our success; (b) reward employees and consultants for these
contributions; and (c) encourage employees and consultants to take into account
our long-term interests through ownership of our shares.

DESCRIPTION OF THE 2004 STOCK OPTION AND RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The following description of the principal terms of the 2004 Plan is a
summary and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2004 Plan,
which is attached as Appendix A hereto.

Administration. The 2004 Plan will be administered by the Compensation
Committee. The Committee may grant options and make purchase grants for shares
of common stock to eligible employees and consultants, determine the terms and
conditions of each option or purchase grant and adopt, amend and rescind rules
and regulations for the administration of the 2004 Plan. The 2004 Plan grants
the Committee the authority to grant options (both incentive stock options and
nonstatutory options) and make purchase grants to eligible employees and
consultants. Subject to the limitations of the 2004 Plan and applicable
securities laws, the Committee may waive compliance by any recipient with
respect to any obligation to be performed by such recipient. The Committee may
also exercise any right of repurchase with respect to common stock issued under
the 2004 Plan pursuant to a purchase grant. The 2004 Plan was adopted by the
Board, subject to stockholder approval, on February 9, 2004. No awards may be
made under this Plan after February 9, 2014, but the 2004 Plan shall continue
thereafter while previously granted awards remain subject to the 2004 Plan.

Employees and Consultants Eligible to Receive Options or Purchase Grants
Under the 2004 Plan. Persons eligible to receive options or purchase grants
under the 2004 Plan are those employees and consultants of Arotech and its
subsidiaries who, in the opinion of the Committee, are in a position to make a
significant contribution to our success. Directors who are not employees are not
eligible to receive awards under the 2004 Plan.

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

Shares Subject to the 2004 Plan. Subject to adjustments set forth in the
2004 Plan, the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for issuance
in connection with options granted under the 2004 Plan will be 7,500,000,
subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or similar
transactions. If any option granted under the 2004 Plan terminates without
having been exercised in full, the number of shares of common stock as to which
such option was not exercised shall be available for future grants within
certain limits under the 2004 Plan. Except as may be otherwise determined by the
Board, no employee or consultant may receive awards of or relating to more than
1,000,000 shares of Arotech's common stock in the aggregate in any year.

Terms and Conditions of Options. The Committee determines the exercise
price of options granted under the 2004 Plan. The Committee may determine the
exercise price of nonstatutory options at the time of grant. The exercise price
of incentive stock options, however, must be at least equal to the fair market
value per share of common stock (or 110% of fair market value in the case of
incentive options granted to a ten-percent stockholder) issuable upon exercise
of the option at the time the incentive option was granted. No option may be
exercisable for more than ten years (five years in the case of an incentive
option granted to a ten-percent stockholder) from the date of grant. Options
issued under the 2004 Plan will be exercisable at such time or times as the
Committee prescribes at the time of grant.

In the event of a consolidation or merger in which Arotech is not the
surviving corporation or which results in the acquisition of substantially all
Arotech's outstanding stock by a single person or entity or by a group of
persons and/or entities acting in concert, or in the event of the sale or
transfer of substantially all Arotech's assets, the 2004 Plan provides all
outstanding options will become exercisable unless the successor entity assumes
such options.

Generally, the option price may be paid (a) in cash or by certified check,
bank draft or money order, (b) through delivery of shares of common stock having
a fair market value equal to the purchase price, (c) through delivery of a
promissory note acceptable to the Committee or (d) a combination of these
methods. The Committee is also authorized to establish a cashless exercise
program.

No option may be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution, and during a recipient's lifetime an option may be exercised
only by the recipient. Options that are exercisable at the time of a recipient's
termination of service with Arotech will continue to be exercisable for three
months, unless, in the opinion of the Committee, the reasons for the termination
of employment justify terminating the recipient's exercisable options.

Terms and Conditions of Purchase Grants. The purchase price of common
stock purchased pursuant to a restricted stock purchase grant made under the
2004 Plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of the common stock at
the time the purchase grant was made (or 110% of the fair market value in the

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

case of purchase grants made to ten-percent stockholders). Recipients receiving
purchase grants under the 2004 Plan may purchase the common stock subject to the
purchase grant at any time within 60 days after the purchase grant is made.

In the event of a consolidation or merger in which Arotech is not the
surviving corporation or which results in the acquisition of substantially all
Arotech's outstanding stock by a single person or entity or by a group of
persons and/or entities acting in concert, or in the event of the sale or
transfer of substantially all Arotech's assets, the 2004 Plan provides all
outstanding purchase grants will become exercisable unless the successor entity
assumes such grants.

Common stock purchased pursuant to a purchase grant may be paid for (a) in
cash, (b) by certified check, (c) by bank draft or money order, or (d) by a
promissory note. If the recipient pays for the common stock with a promissory
note, the note must meet the conditions specified in the 2004 Plan, in addition
to any other conditions which the Board may establish.

No purchase grant may be transferred other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution, and during a recipient's lifetime a purchase grant may
be exercised only by the recipient. Unexercised purchased grants held by a
recipient terminate upon the death of the recipient. If a recipient's employment
or consulting relationship terminates for any reason other than death, all
purchase grants held by the recipient will automatically terminate.

The Board may at any time amend the 2004 Plan for the purpose of
satisfying the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or
other applicable law or regulation or for any other legal purpose, provided
that, without the consent of our stockholders, the Board may not (a) increase
the number of shares available under the 2004 Plan, (b) change the group of
individuals eligible to receive options and/or purchase grants, (c) reduce the
price at which incentive options may be granted, (d) extend the time within
which options may be granted or purchase grants made, (e) alter the 2004 Plan
such that "incentive" options and purchase grants would not qualify under the
applicable provisions of the Code, or (f) adversely affect the rights of a
recipient under any option or purchase grant previously granted or made.

Special Provisions for Plan Participants Who Are Israeli Residents.
Pursuant to current Israeli tax law, each option and purchase grant, and shares
issued pursuant to each option and purchase grant made under the 2004 Plan, are
issued to, and held in trust for the benefit of the grantee by, a trustee
designated by the Board, who holds these shares in trust for a minimum of two
years. Prior to releasing any securities from the trust, the trustee must ensure
that the recipient remits an amount of money that is sufficient and necessary
for the discharge of the recipient's tax obligations with respect to such
securities, if any. Upon the sale of any securities held by the trust for the
benefit of a recipient, we must withhold from the proceeds of such sale all
applicable taxes and remit the amount withheld to the appropriate Israeli tax
authority. Each recipient who has shares held by the trust is entitled to
receive dividends with respect thereto and to vote those shares of common stock.

FEDERAL INCOME CONSEQUENCES

Following is a summary of the federal income tax consequences of option
grants under the 2004 Plan. Optionees and recipients of other awards granted
under the 2004 Plan are advised to consult their personal tax advisors before
exercising an option or award or disposing of any stock received pursuant to the
exercise of an option or award. In addition, the following summary is based upon
an analysis of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") as
currently in effect, existing laws, judicial decisions, administrative rulings,
regulations and proposed regulations, all of which are subject to change and
does not address state, local or other tax laws.

TREATMENT OF OPTIONS

The Code treats incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options
differently. However, as to both types of options, no income will be recognized
to the optionee at the time of the grant of the options under the 2004 Plan, nor
will Arotech be entitled to a tax deduction at that time.

Generally, upon exercise of a nonstatutory stock option, an optionee will
recognize ordinary income tax on the excess of the fair market value of the
stock on the exercise date over the option price. Arotech will be entitled to a
tax deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the
optionee in the fiscal year which includes the end of the optionee's taxable
year. Arotech will be required to satisfy applicable withholding requirements in
order to be entitled to a tax deduction. In general, if an optionee, in
exercising a nonstatutory stock option, tenders shares of common stock of
Arotech in partial or full payment of the option price, no gain or loss will be
recognized on the tender. However, if the tendered shares were previously
acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option and the tender is within
two years from the date of grant or one year after the date of exercise of the
incentive stock option, the tender will be a disqualifying disposition of the
shares acquired upon exercise of the incentive stock option.

For incentive stock options, there is no taxable income to an optionee at
the time of exercise. However, the excess of the fair market value of the stock
on the date of exercise over the exercise price will be taken into account in
determining whether the "alternative minimum tax" will apply for the year of
exercise. If the shares acquired upon exercise are held until at least two years
form the date of grant and more than one year from the date of exercise, any
gain or loss upon the sale of such shares, if held as capital assets, will be
long-term capital gain or loss (measured by the difference between the sales
price of the stock and the exercise price). Under current federal income tax
law, a long-term capital gain will be taxed at a rate which is less than the
maximum rate of tax on ordinary income. If the two-year and one year holding
period requirements are not met (a "disqualifying disposition"), an optionee
will recognize ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount equal to
the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise
minus the exercise price or (ii) the amount realized on disposition minus the
exercise price. The remainder of the gain will be treated as long-term capital
gain, depending upon whether the stock has been held for more than a year. If an
optionee makes a disqualifying disposition, Arotech will be entitled to a tax
deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee.

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

In general, if an optionee, in exercising an incentive stock option,
tenders shares of common stock in partial or full payment of the option price,
no gain or loss will be recognized on the tender. However, if the tendered
shares were previously acquired upon the exercise of another incentive stock
option and the tender is within two years from the date of grant or one year
after the date of exercise of the other option, the tender will be a
disqualifying disposition of the shares acquired upon exercise of the other
option.

As noted above, the exercise of an incentive stock option could subject an
optionee to the alternative minimum tax. The application of the alternative
minimum tax to any particular optionee depends upon the particular facts and
circumstances which exist with respect to the optionee in the year of exercise.
However, as a general rule, the amount by which the fair market value of the
common stock on the date of exercise of an option exceeds the exercise price of
the option will constitute an item of "adjustment" for purposes of determining
the alternative minimum taxable income on which the alternative tax may be
imposed. As such, this item will enter into the tax base on which the
alternative minimum tax is computed, and may therefore cause the alternative
minimum tax to become applicable in any given year.

POTENTIAL LIMITATION ON COMPANY DEDUCTIONS

Code Section 162(m) denies a deduction to any publicly held corporation
for compensation paid to certain "covered employees" in a taxable year to the
extent that compensation exceeds $1 million for a covered employee. It is
possible that compensation attributable to stock options granted in the future
under the 2004 Plan, when combined with all other types of compensation received
by a covered employee from Arotech, may cause this limitation to be exceeded in
any particular year. Certain kinds of compensation, including qualified
"performance-based compensation," are disregarded for purposes of the deduction
limitation. In accordance with Treasury regulations issued under Code Section
162(m), compensation attributable to stock options will qualify as
performance-based compensation, provided that: (i) the stock award plan contains
a per-employee limitation on the number of shares for which stock options may be
granted during a specified period; (ii) the per-employee limitation is approved
by the stockholders; (iii) the award is granted by a compensation committee
comprised solely of "outside directors"; and (iv) the exercise price of the
award is no less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.

TAX WITHHOLDING

Arotech, as and when appropriate, shall have the right to require each
optionee purchasing shares of common stock to pay any federal, state or local
taxes required by law to be withheld.

POLICIES REGARDING DIRECTOR QUALIFICATIONS

The Board has adopted policies regarding director qualifications. To be
considered for nomination as a director, any candidate must meet the following
minimum criteria:

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

a. Ability and willingness to undertake a strategic governance role,
clear and distinct from the operating role of management.

b. High-level leadership experience in business, government, or
other major complex professional or non-profit organizations that would
have exposed the individual to the challenges of leadership and governance
in a dynamic and highly competitive marketplace.

c. Highly accomplished in their respective field, with superior
credentials and recognition.

d. Demonstrated understanding of the elements and issues relevant to
the success of a large publicly-traded company in the current volatile
business, legal and governance environment.

e. Demonstrated business acumen and creative/strategic thinking
ability.

f. Personal Characteristics:

o Ability and willingness to contribute special competencies to
the Board in a collaborative manner. The areas of expertise
required at any point in time may vary, based on the existing
composition of the Board. They may include, but would not be
limited to, capabilities honed as a CEO or a senior
functional leader in operations, finance, information
technology, marketing, organizational development, and
experience making step change to transform a business.

o Personal integrity and highest ethical character. Absence of
any conflicts of interest, either real or perceived.

o Willingness to apply sound and independent business judgment,
enriching management and Board proposals or challenging them
constructively as appropriate.

o Willing to exert influence through strong influence skills
and constructive teamwork. This is essential to effective
collaboration with other directors as well as providing
constructive counsel to the CEO.

o Understanding of and full commitment to our governance
principles and the obligation of each director to contribute
to good governance, corporate citizenship, and corporate
image for Arotech.

o Willingness to devote the time necessary to assume broad
fiduciary responsibility and to participate fully in Arotech
governance requirements with appropriate due diligence and
attention.

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

In this regard, each nominee will be asked to disclose the boards of
directors on which he or she currently sits, and each current director will be
asked to inform the Nominating Committee of additional corporate board
nominations (both for-profit and non-profit). This notification is to ensure
appropriate dialogue about the impact of the added responsibilities on the
individual's availability to perform thoroughly his or her duties as an Arotech
director.

The Board of Directors will consist of a majority of people who are
active, primarily in business roles, and selected retired individuals. Those
active in the business community will bring the most current business thinking,
and retirees will bring their long experience and seasoned business judgment.
Every effort will be made to achieve diversity in the Board's membership.

From time to time, the particular capabilities needed to round out the
total Board's portfolio of competencies may vary. The Nominating Committee is
empowered to consider the demographics of the total Board as it considers the
requirements for each Board vacancy and to identify particular unique
capabilities needed at that point in time.

POLICIES REGARDING DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS

The Board's Nominating Committee is responsible for the Board of
Director's nomination process. New candidates for the Board of Directors may be
sourced by existing directors, a third party search firm (paid for its
professional services) or may be recommended by stockholders. In considering new
candidates submitted by stockholders, the Nominating Committee will take into
consideration the needs of the Board of Directors and the qualifications of the
candidate. However, all director nominees will be evaluated against the same
standards and in the same objective manner, based on competencies and personal
characteristics listed above, regardless of how they were sourced. To have a
candidate considered by the Nominating Committee, a stockholder must submit the
recommendation in writing and must include the following information:

o The name of the stockholder and evidence of the person's
ownership of our stock, including the number of shares owned
and the length of time of ownership; and

o The name of the candidate, the candidate's resume or a
listing of his or her qualifications to be a director of
Arotech and the person's consent to be named as a director if
selected by the Nominating Committee and nominated by the
Board of Directors.

The stockholder recommendation and information described above must be
sent to Arotech's Secretary at 250 West 57th Street, Suite 310, New York, New
York 10107, and must be received by Arotech's Secretary not less than 120 days
prior to the anniversary date of our most recent annual meeting of stockholders.

Once a person has been identified by the Nominating Committee as a
potential candidate, the Committee may collect and review publicly available
information regarding the person to assess whether the person should be

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

considered further. If the Nominating Committee determines that the candidate
warrants further consideration, the Chairman or another member of the Committee
will contact the person. Generally, if the person expresses a willingness to be
considered and to serve on the Board of Directors, the Nominating Committee will
request information from the candidate, review the person's accomplishments and
qualifications, including in light of any other candidates that the Committee
might be considering, and conduct one or more interviews with the candidate. In
certain instances, Committee members may contact one or more references provided
by the candidate or may contact other members of the business community or other
persons that may have greater first-hand knowledge of the candidate's
accomplishments. The Committee's evaluation process does not vary based on
whether or not a candidate is recommended by a stockholder, although, the Board
of Directors may take into consideration the number of shares held by the
recommending stockholder and the length of time that such shares have been held.

CODES OF ETHICS

We have adopted a Code of Ethics, as required by Nasdaq listing standards
and the rules of the SEC, that applies to our principal executive officer, our
principal financial officer, and our principal accounting officer, as well as a
more general code of conduct that applies to our other directors, officers and
employees. The Code of Ethics is publicly available through a hyperlink located
on the investor relations page of our website, at
http://www.arotech.com/compro/investor.html. If we make substantive amendments
to the Code of Ethics or grant any waiver, including any implicit waiver, that
applies to anyone subject to the Code of Ethics, we will disclose the nature of
such amendment or waiver on the website or in a report on Form 8-K in accordance
with applicable Nasdaq and SEC rules.

COMPENSATION AND OTHER MATTERS

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Non-employee members of our Board of Directors are paid $2,500 (plus
expenses) for each Board of Directors meeting attended, $2,000 (plus expenses)
for each meeting of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors attended, and
$1,000 (plus expenses) for each meeting of all other committees of the Board of
Directors attended. In addition, we have adopted a Non-Employee Director Stock
Option Plan pursuant to which non-employee directors receive an initial grant of
options to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock upon the effective date of
such plan or upon the date of his or her election as a director. Thereafter,
non-employee directors will receive options to purchase 10,000 shares of our
common stock for each year of service on the Board. All such options are granted
at fair market value and vest ratably over three years from the date of the
grant. We are submitting for the approval of our stockholders an amendment to
our 1995 Plan to increase the initial grant to new non-employee directors to
40,000 options and to increase annual grants to non-employee directors to 25,000
options. See "Proposal Number 4," above.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

GENERAL

Our Chief Executive Officer and the other highest paid executive officers
(of which there were two) who were compensated at a rate of more than $100,000
in salary and bonuses during the year ended December 31, 2003 (collectively, the
"Named Executive Officers") are Israeli residents, and thus certain elements of
the compensation that we pay them is structured as is customary in Israel.

During 2003, 2002 and 2001, compensation to our Named Executive Officers
took several forms:

o cash salary;

o bonus, some of which was paid in cash in the year in which it was
earned and some of which was accrued in the year in which it was
earned but paid in cash in a subsequent year;

o cash reimbursement for taxes paid by the Named Executive Officer and
reimbursed by us in accordance with Israeli tax regulations;

o accruals (but not cash payments) in respect of contractual
termination compensation in excess of the Israeli statutory minimum;

o accruals (but not cash payments) in respect of pension plans, which
consist of a savings plan, life insurance and statutory severance
pay benefits, and a continuing education fund (as is customary in
Israel);

o stock options, including options issued in exchange for a waiver of
salary under the "options-for-salary" program discussed in more
detail below; and

o other benefits, primarily consisting of annual statutory holiday
pay.

The specific amounts of each form of compensation paid to each Named
Executive Officer appear in the summary compensation table and the notes thereto
appearing under "Summary Compensation Table," below.

SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE

The following table, which should be read in conjunction with the
explanations provided above, shows the compensation that we paid (or accrued),
in connection with services rendered for 2003, 2002 and 2001, to our Named
Executive Officers.

Officers. These loans are summarized in the following table, and are further
described under "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions - Officer
Loans," below.

ORIGINAL AMOUNT

OPTIONS-FOR-SALARY PROGRAM

Between May 2001 and December 2002, we conducted an options-for-salary
program designed to conserve our cash and to offer incentives to employees to
remain with us despite lower cash compensation. Under this program, most of our
salaried employees permanently waived a portion of their salaries in exchange
for options to purchase shares of our common stock, at a ratio of options to
purchase 2.5 shares of our stock for each dollar in salary waived. Social
benefits (such as pension) and contractual bonuses for such employees continued
to be calculated based on their salaries prior to reduction. The
options-for-salary program was ended on December 31, 2002.

During 2001, options were accrued quarterly in advance, but since no
employees requested the grant of their options during the third quarter, all
grants were deferred to the beginning of the fourth quarter, during the month of
October. During 2002, options were accrued quarterly in advance for the Named
Executive Officers, and annually in advance for other employees.

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

During 2001, in exchange for waiver of $265,597 in salary, our employees
other than the Named Executive Officers received a total of 663,992 options,
which options were granted based on the lowest closing price of our common stock
during the month of October 2001 ($1.30). Named Executive Officers, in exchange
for waiver of $40,699 in salary, received a total of 101,747 options during
2001, which options were granted based on the lowest closing prices of our
common stock during the month of October 2001 ($1.30), as set forth in the table
below.

During 2002, in exchange for waiver of $364,209 in salary, our employees
other than the Named Executive Officers received a total of 910,522 options,
which options were granted based on the lowest closing price of our common stock
during the month of December 2002 ($0.61). Named Executive Officers, in exchange
for waiver of $119,774 in salary, received a total of 299,435 options during
2002, which options were granted based on the lowest closing prices of our
common stock during each quarter of 2002, as set forth in the table below.

Following is a table setting forth the number of options that we issued to
each of our Named Executive Officers under the options-for-salary program during
each fiscal quarter in which the program was in effect, and the range of trading

(1) The potential realizable value illustrates value that might be realized
upon exercise of the options immediately prior to the expiration of their
terms, assuming the specified compounded rates of appreciation of the
market price per share from the date of grant to the end of the option
term. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercise are dependent upon a
number of factors, including the future performance of the common stock
and the timing of option exercises, as well as the executive officer's
continued employment through the vesting period. The gains shown are net
of the option exercise price, but do not include deductions for taxes and
other expenses payable upon the exercise of the option or for sale of
underlying shares of common stock. The 5% and 10% rates of appreciation
are mandated by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do
not represent our estimate or projection of future increases in the price
of our stock. There can be no assurance that the amounts reflected in this
table will be achieved, and unless the market price of our common stock
appreciates over the option term, no value will be realized from the
option grants made to the executive officers.

The table below sets forth information for the Named Executive Officers
with respect to aggregated option exercises during fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2003
year-end option values.

(1) In October 1998, the Board of Directors adopted the 1998 Non-Executive
Stock Option and Restricted Stock Purchase Plan, which under Delaware law
did not require stockholder approval since directors and executive
officers were ineligible to participate in it. Participation in the 1998
Plan is limited to those of our employees and consultants who are neither
executive officers nor otherwise subject to Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The 1998 Plan is administered by the
Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, which determined the
conditions of grant. Options issued under the 1998 Plan generally expire
no more than ten years from the date of grant, and incentive options
issued under the 1998 Plan may be granted only at exercise prices equal to
the fair market value of our common stock on the date the option is
granted. A total of 4,750,000 shares of our common stock were originally
subject to the 1998 Plan, of which 3,181,862 options are outstanding
and 1,568,138 options have been exercised.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS

Mr. Ehrlich is party to an employment agreement with us effective as of
January 1, 2000. The term of this employment agreement, as extended, expires on
December 31, 2005, and is extended automatically for additional terms of two
years each unless either Mr. Ehrlich or we terminate the agreement sooner.

The employment agreement provides for a base salary of $20,000 per month,
as adjusted annually for Israeli inflation and devaluation of the Israeli shekel
against the U.S. dollar, if any. Additionally, the Board may at its discretion
raise Mr. Ehrlich's base salary. In January 2002, the Board raised Mr. Ehrlich's
base salary to $23,750 per month effective January 1, 2002; Mr. Ehrlich has
elected to waive this increase in his salary and to receive options instead,
under our salary for options program.

The employment agreement provides that if the results we actually attain
in a given year are at least 80% of the amount we budgeted at the beginning of
the year, we will pay a bonus, on a sliding scale, in an amount equal to a
minimum of 35% of Mr. Ehrlich's annual base salary then in effect, up to a
maximum of 90% of his annual base salary then in effect if the results we
actually attain for the year in question are 120% or more of the amount we
budgeted at the beginning of the year.

The employment agreement also contains various benefits customary in
Israel for senior executives, tax and financial planning expenses and an
automobile, and contain confidentiality and non-competition covenants. Pursuant
to the employment agreements, we granted Mr. Ehrlich demand and "piggyback"
registration rights covering shares of our common stock held by him.

We can terminate Mr. Ehrlich's employment agreement in the event of death
or disability or for "Cause" (defined as conviction of certain crimes, willful
failure to carry out directives of our Board of Directors or gross negligence or
willful misconduct). Mr. Ehrlich has the right to terminate his employment upon
a change in our control or for "Good Reason," which is defined to include
adverse changes in employment status or compensation, our insolvency, material
breaches and certain other events. Additionally, Mr. Ehrlich may retire (after
age 68) or terminate his agreement for any reason upon 150 days' notice. Upon
termination of employment, the employment agreement provides for payment of all
accrued and unpaid compensation, and (unless we have terminated the agreement

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

for Cause or Mr. Ehrlich has terminated the agreement without Good Reason and
without giving us 150 days' notice of termination) bonuses due for the year in
which employment is terminated and severance pay in the amount of three years'
base salary (or, in the case of termination by Mr. Ehrlich on 150 days' notice,
a lump sum payment of $520,000). Furthermore, certain benefits will continue and
all outstanding options will be fully vested.

Mr. Esses is not a party to an employment agreement with us. Mr. Shen has
signed our standard employee employment agreement, described below.

Other employees (including Mr. Shen) have entered into individual
employment agreements with us. These agreements govern the basic terms of the
individual's employment, such as salary, vacation, overtime pay, severance
arrangements and pension plans. Subject to Israeli law, which restricts a
company's right to relocate an employee to a work site farther than sixty
kilometers from his or her regular work site, we have retained the right to
transfer certain employees to other locations and/or positions provided that
such transfers do not result in a decrease in salary or benefits. All of these
agreements also contain provisions governing the confidentiality of information
and ownership of intellectual property learned or created during the course of
the employee's tenure with us. Under the terms of these provisions, employees
must keep confidential all information regarding our operations (other than
information that is already publicly available) received or learned by the
employee during the course of employment. This provision remains in force for
five years after the employee has left our service. Further, intellectual
property created during the course of the employment relationship belongs to us.

A number of the individual employment agreements, but not all, contain
non-competition provisions that restrict the employee's rights to compete
against us or work for an enterprise that competes against us. Such provisions
remain in force for a period of two years after the employee has left our
service.

Under the laws of Israel, an employee of ours who has been dismissed from
service, died in service, retired from service upon attaining retirement age, or
left due to poor health, maternity or certain other reasons, is entitled to
severance pay at the rate of one month's salary for each year of service. We

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The Compensation Committee of our board of directors for the 2003 fiscal
year consisted until May 8, 2003 of Dr. Jay M. Eastman, Jack E. Rosenfeld and
Lawrence M. Miller; thereafter, the Compensation Committee consisted of Dr. Jay
M. Eastman, Jack E. Rosenfeld and Bert W. Wasserman. None of the members has
served as our officers or employees.

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of our previous
filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or
the Exchange Act which might incorporate future filings, including this Proxy
Statement, in whole or in part, the following report and the Performance Graph
on page 34 shall not be incorporated by reference into any such filings.

OBJECTIVES AND PHILOSOPHY

We maintain compensation and incentive programs designed to motivate,
retain and attract management and utilize various combinations of base salary,
bonuses payable upon the achievement of specified goals, discretionary bonuses
and stock options. Our Chief Executive Officer, Robert S. Ehrlich, is party to
an employment agreement with us. Our Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Steven Esses,
has no formal employment agreement at present, though one is in negotiation. Our
Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Avihai Shen, is a party to a standard employment
agreement that we enter into with our employees generally.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

The employment agreement with Mr. Ehrlich provides that if the results we
actually attain in a given year are at least 80% of the amount we budgeted at
the beginning of the year, we will pay a bonus to Mr. Ehrlich, on a sliding
scale, in an amount equal to a minimum of 35% of his annual base salary then in
effect, up to a maximum of 90% of his annual base salary then in effect if the
results we actually attain for the year in question are 120% or more of the
amount we budgeted at the beginning of the year. We paid Mr. Ehrlich $67,370
during 2003 in satisfaction of the remainder of bonuses from 2002 to which he
was entitled according to his contract. Additionally, we accrued $99,750 for Mr.
Ehrlich in satisfaction of the 2003 bonus to which he was entitled according to
his contract.

As of December 31, 2003, Messrs. Ehrlich's, Esses's and Shen's total
options represented approximately 6.1%, 2.0% and 1.3%, respectively, of our
outstanding stock, which the Compensation Committee believes is an appropriate
level of options for them considering their positions with Arotech.

COMPENSATION OF OTHER EMPLOYEES

With respect to employees other than the Named Executive Officers,
compensation is determined not by formula, but based on the achievement of
qualitative and/or quantitative objectives established in advance of each year
by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, who then, pursuant
to authority delegated by the Compensation Committee, determine remuneration of
our employees based on such objectives.

We seek to promote, including through our compensation plans, an
environment that encourages employees to focus on our continuing long-term
growth. Employee compensation is generally comprised of a combination of cash
compensation and grants of options under our stock option plans. Stock options

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

are awarded annually in connection with annual bonuses and, occasionally, during
the year on a discretionary basis. Stock options are intended to offer an
incentive for superior performance while basing employee compensation on the
achievement of higher share value, and to foster the retention of key personnel
through the use of schedules which vest options over time if the person remains
employed by us. There is no set formula for the award of options to individual
employees. Factors considered in making option awards to the employees other
than the Named Executive Officers in 2003 included prior grants to the
employees, the importance of retaining the employees services, the amount of
cash bonuses received by the employees, the employees potential to contribute to
our success and the employees' past contributions to us.

POLICY ON DEDUCTIBILITY OF COMPENSATION

Changes made to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")
in 1993 limit our ability to deduct, for Federal income tax purposes, certain
compensation in excess of $1,000,000 per year paid to individuals named in the
Summary Compensation Table. This limitation was effective beginning in 1994.
Based on its review of the facts and circumstances, the Committee has considered
the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code which, except in the case of
"performance-based compensation" and certain other types of compensation
(including compensation received under a stock option plan approved in
accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code), limits to $1,000,000 the amount of
Arotech's federal income tax deduction for the compensation paid to any of the
chief executive officer and the other four most highly paid executive officers.
The Committee believes that our current compensation arrangements, which are
primarily based on performance measures expected to be reflected in increasing
stockholder value over time, are appropriate and in the best interests of
Arotech and its stockholders, without regard to tax considerations. Thus, in the
event of changes in the tax laws or their interpretation or other circumstances
which might render some portion of the executive compensation paid by us
non-deductible for federal tax purposes, the Committee would not anticipate
making significant changes in the basic philosophy and practices reflected in
our executive compensation program.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Audit
Committee") consists of three non-employee directors, Bert W. Wasserman,
Lawrence M. Miller, and Jack E. Rosenfeld, each of whom has been
determined to be independent as defined by the Nasdaq rules and SEC
regulations. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted
by the board of directors.

Management is responsible for Arotech's internal controls and the
financial reporting process. The independent accountants are responsible
for performing an independent audit of Arotech's consolidated financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
to issue a report thereon. The Audit Committee's responsibility is to
monitor and oversee these processes.

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

In this context the Audit Committee has met and held discussions
with management and the independent accountants. Management represented to
the Audit Committee that Arotech's consolidated financial statements were
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial
statements with management and the independent accountants. The Audit
Committee discussed with the independent accountants matters required to
be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61.

Arotech's independent accountants also provided to the Audit
Committee the written disclosure required by Independence Standards Board
Standard No. 1, "Independence Discussions with Audit Committees." The
Committee discussed with the independent accountants that firm's
independence and considered whether the non-audit services provided by the
independent accountants are compatible with maintaining its independence.

Based on the Audit Committee's discussion with management and the
independent accountants, and the Audit Committee's review of the
representation of management and the report of the independent accountants
to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended that the board of
directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in
Arotech's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

FEES BILLED FOR SERVICES RENDERED BY PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT

In accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and
the Audit Committee's charter, all audit and audit-related work and all
non-audit work performed by our independent accountants, Kost, Forer, Gabbay &
Kassierer, is approved in advance by the Audit Committee, including the proposed
fees for such work. The Audit Committee is informed of each service actually
rendered.

o Audit Fees. Audit fees billed or expected to be billed to us by
Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kassierer for the audit of the financial
statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and
reviews of the financial statements included in our Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q, for the years ended December 31, 2002 and
2003 totaled approximately $151,375 and $177,000, respectively.

o Audit-Related Fees. Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kassierer billed us
$383 and $34,500 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and

reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

our financial statements and are not reported under the caption
"Audit Fees," above.

o Tax Fees. Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kassierer billed us an aggregate
of $12,000 and $24,320 for the fiscal years ended December 31,
2002 and 2003, respectively, for tax services, principally advice
regarding the preparation of income tax returns.

o Other Matters. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has
considered whether the provision of the Audit-Related Fees, Tax
Fees and all other fees are compatible with maintaining the
independence of our principal accountant.

Applicable law and regulations provide an exemption that permits certain
services to be provided by our outside auditors even if they are not
pre-approved. We have not relied on this exemption at any time since the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act was enacted.

that for a period of five years, neither he nor his "affiliates" (as such term
is defined in the Securities Act) directly or indirectly or in conjunction with
or through any "associate" (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of the
Exchange Act), will (i) solicit proxies with respect to any capital stock or
other voting securities of ours under any circumstances, or become a
"participant" in any "election contest" relating to the election of our
directors (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A of the
Exchange Act); (ii) make an offer for the acquisition of substantially all of

paid.

APPENDIX A

AROTECH CORPORATION

2004 STOCK OPTION AND
RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

1. Purpose.

The purpose of the Arotech Corporation 2004 Stock Option and Restricted
Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") is to advance the interests of Arotech
Corporation (the "Company") by enhancing the ability of the Company and its
subsidiaries (a) to attract and retain executives, employees and consultants who
are in a position to make significant contributions to the success of the
Company and its subsidiaries; (b) to reward executives, employees and
consultants for such contributions; and (c) to encourage executives, employees
and consultants to take into account the long-term interests of the Company and
its subsidiaries through ownership of shares of the Company's common stock,
$0.01 par value (the "Stock").

Options granted pursuant to the Plan may, for purposes of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), be incentive stock options as
defined in section 422 of the Code (any option that is intended to qualify as an
incentive stock option being referred to herein as an "incentive option"), or
options that are not incentive options, or both. Options granted pursuant to the
Plan shall be presumed to be non-incentive options unless expressly designated
as incentive options.

The following Plan provisions are subject to the special provisions for
participants in the Plan who are Israeli residents, attached in Addendum I
hereto.

2. Administration.

Awards shall be determined, and the Plan shall be administered, by a
Committee as appointed from time to time by the Board of Directors of the
Company (the "Board") from amongst its members, which Committee shall consist of
not less than two (2) members of the Board. Except as permitted by Rule 16b-3 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), and by Section
162(m) of the Code (or regulations promulgated thereunder), no member of the
Board may serve on the Committee if such member: (i) is or has been granted or
awarded stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights or any other equity
security or derivative security of the Company or any of its affiliates pursuant
to the Plan or any other plan of the Company or its affiliates either while
serving on the Committee or during the one year period prior to being appointed
to the Committee; (ii) is an employee or former employee of the Company; or
(iii) receives remuneration from the Company, either directly or indirectly, in
any capacity other than as a director.

The Committee shall have authority, not inconsistent with the express
provisions of the Plan, (a) to grant options and make purchase grants to such
eligible employees as the Board may select; (b) to determine the time or times
when options shall be granted or purchase grants made and the number of shares
of Stock subject to each option or purchase grant; (c) to determine the terms
and conditions of each option and purchase grant; (d) to prescribe the form or
forms of any instruments evidencing options and purchase grants and any other
instruments required under the Plan and to change such forms from time to time;
(e) to adopt, amend and rescind rules and regulations for the administration of
the Plan; and (f) to interpret the Plan and to decide any questions and settle
all controversies and disputes that may arise in connection with the Plan.
Subject to Section 8, the Committee shall also have the authority, both
generally and in particular instances, to waive compliance by an executive,

A-1

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

employee or consultant with any obligation to be performed by him or her under
an option or purchase grant, to exercise any right of repurchase with respect to
Stock issued under the Plan pursuant to a purchase grant, to waive any condition
or provision of an option or purchase grant, and to amend or cancel any option
or purchase grant (and if an any option or purchase grant is canceled, to grant
a new option or purchase grant on such terms as the Committee shall specify).

All such determinations and actions of the Committee shall be conclusive
and shall bind all parties.

3. Effective Date and Term of Plan.

The Plan shall become effective on the date on which the Plan is approved
by the stockholders of the Company. Grants of options and purchase grants under
the Plan may be made prior to that date, subject to approval of the Plan by such
stockholders.

No option shall be granted and no purchase grant made under the Plan after
the completion of ten years from the date on which the Plan was adopted by the
Board, but options previously granted and purchase grants previously made may
extend beyond that date.

4. Shares Subject to the Plan.

(a) Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c),
the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be delivered upon the
exercise of options and purchase grants granted under the Plan shall be seven
million five hundred thousand (7,500,000). If any option or purchase grant
granted under the Plan terminates without having been exercised in full, or upon
exercise is satisfied other than by delivery of Stock, the number of shares of
Stock as to which such option or purchase grant was not exercised shall be
available for future grants within the limits set forth in this Section 4(a). In
addition, if any shares of Stock issued under the Plan pursuant to purchase
grants are subsequently repurchased by the Company pursuant to Section 7(g),
such shares shall be available for future grants under the Plan.

The maximum number of shares for which options or other awards may be
granted to any individual during any fiscal year of the Company shall be
1,000,000. The per-individual limitation described in this paragraph shall be
construed and applied consistent with the rules and regulations under section
162(m) of the Code.

(b) Shares to be Delivered. Shares delivered under the Plan shall be
authorized but unissued Stock or, if the Board so decides in its sole
discretion, previously issued Stock acquired by the Company and held in
treasury. No fractional shares of Stock shall be delivered under the Plan.

(c) Changes in Stock. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split or
combination of shares, reorganization, recapitalization or other change in the
Company's capital stock, the number and kind of shares of Stock or securities of
the Company subject to options or purchase grants then outstanding or
subsequently granted or made under the Plan, the maximum number of shares or
securities that may be delivered under the Plan, the exercise price and other
relevant provisions shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, whose
determination shall be binding on all persons.

A-2

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

The Committee may also adjust the number of shares subject to outstanding
options, the exercise price of outstanding options and the terms of outstanding
options, to take into consideration material changes in accounting practices or
principles, extraordinary dividends, and, except as described in Sections 6(i)
and 7(h), consolidations, mergers acquisitions or dispositions of Stock or
property or any other event if it is determined by the Committee that such
adjustment is appropriate to avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan;
provided that no such adjustment shall be made in the case of an incentive
option, without the consent of the participant, if it would constitute a
modification, extension or renewal of the incentive option within the meaning of
section 424(h) of the Code.

(d) Replacement Options. The Committee may grant options under the Plan in
substitution for options held by employees of another corporation who
concurrently become employees of the Company or a subsidiary as a result of a
merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or a
subsidiary or the acquisition by the Company or a subsidiary of property or
stock of the employing corporation. The Committee may direct that the
replacement options be granted on such terms and conditions as the Committee
considers appropriate in the circumstances.

5. Eligibility.

Employees eligible to receive options or purchase grants under the Plan
shall be those executives, employees and consultants of the Company and its
subsidiaries who, in the opinion of the Committee, are in a position to make a
significant contribution to the success of the Company or such subsidiaries. A
subsidiary for purposes of the Plan shall be a corporation in which the Company
owns, directly or indirectly, stock possessing 50% or more of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock. Receipt of options or purchase grants
under the Plan or of awards under any other employee benefit plan of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries shall not preclude an executive, employee or
consultant from receiving options or purchase grants or additional options or
purchase grants under the Plan.

6. Terms and Conditions of Options.

(a) Exercise Price. The exercise price of each option shall be determined
by the Committee but in the case of an incentive option shall not be less than
100% (110%, in the case of an incentive option granted to a ten-percent
stockholder) of the fair market value per share of the Stock at the time the
incentive option is granted; nor shall the exercise price of any option be less,
in the case of an original issue of authorized stock, than par value per share.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required by the Code, the purchase
price per share under each non-incentive option intended to qualify as
"performance-based compensation" within the meaning of section 162(m)(3) of the
Code) shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Stock at the
time the non-incentive option is granted.

For purposes of the Plan, "fair market value" shall mean the average of
the high and low sales prices of a share of Stock on the New York Stock
Exchange, or if the Common Stock is not listed thereon, on another national
securities exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market System, whichever is
applicable, on the date the option is granted or other relevant date, or if such
sales prices are not available, the average of the over-the-counter bid and
asked prices for a share of the Stock on the date the option is granted or other
relevant date; provided, that if in the opinion of the Committee the trading
activity of the Stock is deemed not to constitute a representative market price,
the Committee shall have the discretion to engage an independent party to
determine fair market value for this purpose.

A-3

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

(b) In the case of incentive stock options, the aggregate fair market
value (determined at the time the incentive stock option is granted) of the
Stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the
first time by an optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the
Company and any subsidiary) shall not exceed $100,000.

(c) Duration of Options. Options shall be exercisable during such period
or periods as the Committee may specify. In no case shall an option be
exercisable more than ten years from the date the option was granted or such
earlier date as the Committee may specify at the time the option is granted (the
"Final Exercise Date").

(d) Exercise of Options.

(1) Each option shall be made exercisable at such time or times,
whether or not in installments, and upon such conditions as the Committee
shall prescribe at the time an option is granted. In the event that the
option agreement does not provide for a vesting schedule, the applicable
option shall vest and become exercisable as to 40% of the Shares subject
to the option on the first anniversary of its date of grant, and as to 30%
of the Shares subject to the option on the second anniversary of its date
of grant, and as to the remaining Shares subject to the option on the
third anniversary of its date of grant.

In the case of an option not immediately exercisable in full, the
Committee may at any time accelerate the time at which all or any part of
the option may be exercised.

(2) Any exercise of an option shall be in writing, signed by the
proper person and delivered or mailed to the Company, accompanied by (a)
the option certificate and any other documents required by the Committee
and (b) payment in full for the number of shares for which the option is
exercised.

(3) The Committee shall have the right to require that the
individual exercising an option remit to the Company an amount sufficient
to satisfy any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax
requirements (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company with
regard to such taxes) prior to the delivery of any Stock pursuant to the
exercise of the option. If permitted by the Committee, either at the time
of the grant of the option or the time of exercise, the individual may
elect, at such time and in such manner as the Committee may prescribe, to
satisfy such withholding obligation by (i) delivering Stock to the Company
(which in the case of Stock acquired from the Company shall have been
owned by the individual for at least six months prior to the delivery
date) having a fair market value equal to such withholding obligation, or
(ii) requesting that the Company withhold from the shares of Stock to be
delivered upon the exercise a number of shares of Stock having a fair
market value equal to such withholding obligation.

(4) If an option is exercised by the executor or administrator of a
deceased participant, or by the person or person to whom the option has
been transferred by the employee's will or the applicable laws of descent
and distribution, the Company shall be under no obligation to deliver
Stock pursuant to such exercise until the Company is satisfied as to the
authority of the person or persons exercising the option.

A-4

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

(e) Payment For and Delivery of Stock. Stock purchased under the
Plan upon the exercise of options shall be paid for as follows: (i) in
cash or by certified check, bank draft or money order payable to the order
of the Company, or (ii) if so permitted by the Committee, through the
delivery of shares of Stock (which, in the case of Stock acquired from the
Company, shall have been held for at least six months prior to delivery)
having a fair market value on the last business day preceding the date of
exercise equal to the purchase price, or (iii) if so permitted by the
Committee by a combination of such types of payment, or (iv) if so
permitted by the Committee by delivery of an unconditional and irrevocable
undertaking by a broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient
funds to pay the exercise price, or (v) if so permitted by the terms of
the option, by delivery of a promissory note of the employee containing
such terms and conditions, including without limitation, interest rate and
maturity, as the Committee may specify in the option (except that the
option may provide that the rate of interest on the note will be such rate
as is sufficient at all times to avoid the imputation of any interest
under the applicable provisions of the Code or of the Israeli Income Tax
Ordinance), or by a combination of cash (or cash and Stock) and such a
promissory note; provided, that if the Stock delivered upon exercise of
the option is an original issue of authorized Stock, at least so much of
the exercise price as represents the par value of such Stock shall be paid
in cash or by a combination of cash and Stock. The Committee may, in its
discretion, establish a cashless exercise program under the Plan.

An option holder shall not have the rights of a stockholder with
regard to awards under the Plan except as to Stock actually received by
him or her under the Plan.

The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Stock
(a) until, in the opinion of the Company's counsel, all applicable
federal, state and foreign laws and regulations have been complied with,
and (b) if the outstanding Stock is at the time listed on any stock
exchange, until the shares to be delivered have been listed or authorized
to be listed on such exchange upon official notice of issuance, and (c)
until all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery
of such shares have been approved by the Company's counsel. If the sale of
Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act") the Company may require, as a condition to exercise
of the option, such representations or agreements as counsel for the
Company may consider appropriate to avoid violation of such Act and may
require that the certificates evidencing such Stock bear an appropriate
legend restricting transfer.

(f) Nontransferability of Options. Except as the Committee may
otherwise determine, no option may be transferred other than by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution, and during an employee's lifetime an
option may be exercised only by him or her.

(g) Death. If an employee's employment or a consultant's consulting
arrangement with the Company and its subsidiaries terminates by reason of
death, each option held by the employee immediately prior to death shall
become immediately exercisable by his or her executor or administrator, or
by the person or persons to whom the option is transferred by will or the
applicable laws of descent and distribution, at any time within the
three-year period ending with the third anniversary of the employee's or
consultant's death, but in no event beyond the Final Exercise Date.

(h) Other Termination of Employment or Service. If an employee's
employment with the Company and its subsidiaries terminates, or the
consulting arrangement of an optionee terminates, for any reason other
than death, all options held by the employee or consultant that are not
then exercisable shall terminate. Options that are exercisable on the date

A-5

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

of termination of employment or the consulting arrangement shall continue
to be exercisable for a period of three months (subject to Section 6(c))
(or such longer period as the Committee may determine, but in no event
beyond the Final Exercise Date) unless the employee or consultant was
discharged for cause that, in the opinion of the Committee, casts such
discredit on him or her as to justify termination of his or her options.
In any event, if the individual's employment or consulting contract
includes a provision that defines termination for cause, and the
individual was terminated for cause within the meaning of his or her
employment or consulting contract, the Committee may terminate the
individual's options. Furthermore, the Committee may terminate an
employee's options upon such employee's resignation other than following
his or her demotion, loss of title or office or a substantial reduction in
his or her salary or a change in his or her place of employment to a
location outside of the general area in which he or she was employed on
the date of the grant. After completion of the three-month period
following termination, options not otherwise previously terminated or
expired shall expire without further action by the Committee. For purposes
of this Section 6(h), employment shall not be considered terminated (i) in
the case of sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence approved for
purposes of the Plan by the Committee, so long as the employee's right to
reemployment is guaranteed either by statute or by contract, or (ii) in
the case of a transfer of employment between the Company and a subsidiary
or between subsidiaries, or to the employment of a corporation (or a
parent or subsidiary corporation of such corporation) issuing or assuming
an option in a transaction to which section 424(a) of the Code applies
(e.g., a merger or acquisition).

(i) Mergers, etc. In the event of a consolidation or merger in which
the Company is not the surviving corporation or which results in the
acquisition of substantially all the Company's outstanding Stock by a
single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in
concert, or in the event of the sale or transfer of substantially all the
Company's assets, all outstanding options shall thereupon terminate,
provided that all outstanding options shall become exercisable immediately
prior to consummation of such merger, consolidation or sale of assets
unless, if there is a surviving or acquiring corporation, the Company has
arranged, subject to consummation of the merger, consolidation or sale of
assets, for the assumption of the options or the grant to participants of
replacement options by that corporation or an affiliate of that
corporation.

7. Terms and Conditions of Purchase Grants.

(a) Purchase Price. The purchase price of Stock purchased pursuant
to purchase grants under the Plan shall be determined in the same manner
as the exercise price for options (subject to appropriate adjustment by
the Committee upon the occurrence of an adjustment made pursuant to
Section 4(c), and the Committee's determination of such matter shall be
final and binding).

(b) Purchase of Stock Pursuant to Grants. An employee or consultant
receiving a purchase grant under the Plan may purchase the Stock subject
to such purchase grant at any time within 60 days after the purchase grant
is made (or, in the case of purchase grants made subject to stockholder
approval of this Plan, 60 days after such approval). If a purchase grant
is exercised by the executor or administrator of a deceased employee or
consultant, or by the person or persons to whom the purchase grant has
been transferred by the employee's or consultant's will or the applicable
laws of descent and distribution, the Company shall be under no obligation
to deliver Stock pursuant to such exercise until the Company is satisfied
as to the authority of the person or persons exercising the purchase
grant.

A-6

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

(c) Payment For and Delivery of Stock. Stock purchased pursuant to
purchase grants shall be paid for as follows: (i) in cash or by certified
check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company in an
amount not less than the par value of the Stock being purchased,
determined on the date of purchase, and (ii) by delivery of a nonrecourse
promissory note of the employee in a principal amount equal to the balance
of such purchase price and containing the following terms and conditions
together with such other terms and conditions as the Committee may specify
at the time of purchase:

(1) The rate of interest on the note will be such rate as is
sufficient at all times to avoid the imputation of any interest
under the applicable provisions of the Code and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, and of the Income Tax Ordinance
of Israel and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, all
as from time to time in effect.

(2) Interest will be payable quarterly, or upon such terms and
conditions as the Committee may specify at the time of the payment
grant, and at the option of the participant, interest which is due
and payable will be treated as a new loan to the participant
evidenced by the same note.

(3) The principal of the note, and all accrued and unpaid
interest, will be due and payable on such date as may be specified
by the Committee at the time of the payment grant, but in no event
longer than ten years from the date of issuance of the note.

(4) The note at all times will be secured by all of the Stock
issued upon exercise of the purchase grant.

(5) Except as stated in (4) above, the note will be without
recourse to the participant or any of his or her assets.

(6) If the participant sells any of the Stock securing the
note, all proceeds from such sale will first be applied, to the
extent necessary therefor, to the payment in full of the principal
of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the note.

(7) At any time or from time to time, a participant may
specify that 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the original principal amount
of the note delivered upon purchase of the Stock (plus all accrued
and unpaid interest thereon and all accrued interest that has been
added to the principal of the note) shall in the future be with
recourse to him or her and to all of his or her assets, in which
event the nonrecourse note shall be exchanged for a recourse and a
nonrecourse note in the specified amounts, the Stock securing the
original nonrecourse note shall be divided pro rata between the two
new notes, and otherwise the two new notes shall be identical to the
old note (except, in the case of the new recourse note, with respect
to recourse to the participant and his or her other assets).

A purchase grantee shall not have the rights of a stockholder with
regard to awards under the Plan except as to Stock actually purchased and
received by him or her under the Plan.

A-7

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Stock (a)
until, in the opinion of the Company's counsel, all applicable federal and state
laws and regulations have been complied with, and (b) if the outstanding Stock
is at the time listed on any stock exchange, until the shares to be delivered
have been listed or authorized to be listed on such exchange upon official
notice of issuance, and (c) until all other legal matters in connection with the
issuance and delivery of such shares have been approved by the Company's
counsel. If the sale of Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act,
the Company may require, as a condition to exercise of the purchase grant, such
representations or agreements as counsel for the Company may consider
appropriate to avoid violation of such Act and may require that the certificates
evidencing such Stock bear an appropriate legend restricting transfer. Upon
delivery, such Stock shall bear a notion in form and substance satisfactory to
the Company.

(d) Nontransferability of Grants. Except as provided in Section 7(b)
hereof, no purchase grant may be transferred, and a purchase grant may be
exercised only by the employee or consultant to whom the grant was made.

(e) Death. If an employee's employment or a consultant's consulting
arrangement with the Company and its subsidiaries terminates by reason of death,
each unexercised purchase grant held by the individual immediately prior to
death shall immediately terminate.

(f) Other Termination of Employment or Service. If an employee's
employment or a consultant's consulting arrangement with the Company and its
subsidiaries terminates for any reason other than death, all purchase grants
held by the individual shall immediately terminate. For purposes of this Section
7(f), employment shall not be considered terminated (i) in the case of sick
leave or other bona fide leave of absence approved for purposes of the Plan by
the Committee, so long as the employee's right to reemployment is guaranteed
either by statue or by contract, or (ii) in the case of a transfer of employment
between the Company and a subsidiary or between subsidiaries.

(g) Call Option. At the time an employee or consultant purchases any Stock
under the Plan, he shall execute and deliver to the Company a Call Option in
substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto. The Committee shall specify the
terms and conditions to be contained as a Call Option related to a particular
purchase grant at the time of such purchase grant.

(h) Mergers, etc. In the event of a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is not the surviving corporation or which results in the acquisition of
substantially all the Company's outstanding Stock by a single person or entity
or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert, or in the event of
the sale or transfer of substantially all the Company's assets, all outstanding
purchase grants shall thereupon terminate, provided that all outstanding
purchase grants shall become exercisable immediately prior to consummation of
such merger, consolidation or sale of assets unless, if there is a surviving or
acquiring corporation, the Company has arranged, subject to consummation of the
merger, consolidation or sale of assets, for the assumption of the purchase
grants or the grant to participants of replacement purchase grants by that
corporation or an affiliate of that corporation.

8. Employment and Service Rights.

None of the adoption of the Plan, the grant of options or the making of
purchase grants shall confer upon any employee or consultant any right to
continued in the employ or service of the Company or any parent or subsidiary or
affect in any way the right of the Company or parent or subsidiary to terminate

A-8

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

the employment of an employee or a consultant's consulting arrangement at any
time. Except as specifically provided by the Committee in any particular case,
the loss of existing or potential profit in options granted or purchase grants
made under this Plan shall not constitute an element of damages in the event of
termination of the employment of an employee or termination of a consultant's
consulting arrangement even if the termination is in violation of an obligation
of the Company to the employee or consultant by contract or otherwise.

9. Effects of Discontinuance, Cancellation, Amendment and Termination.

None of the adoption of the Plan nor the grant of options or the making of
purchase grants to an employee or consultant shall affect the Company's right to
grant to such employee or consultant options that are not subject to the Plan,
to issue to such employees Stock or purchase grants as a bonus or otherwise, or
to adopt other plans or arrangements under which Stock may be issued to
employees or consultants.

The Committee may at any time discontinue granting options and making
purchase grants under the Plan. With the consent of the employee or consultant,
the Committee may at any time cancel an existing option or purchase grant in
whole or in part and grant or make to the employee or consultant another option
or purchase grant for such number of shares as the Committee specifies. The
Committee may at any time or times amend the Plan for the purpose of satisfying
applicable legal requirements or for any other purpose which may at the time be
permitted by law, or may at any time terminate the Plan as to any further grants
of options or purchase grants, provided that (except to the extent expressly
required or permitted herein above) no such amendment shall adversely affect the
rights of any employee or consultant (without his or her consent) under any
option previously granted or purchase grant previously made.

ADDENDUM I

Special Provisions for Plan Participants who are Israeli Residents.

(a) Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, with respect to
employees or consultants who are Israeli residents, the Plan may also be
administered pursuant to the provisions of Section 102 ("Section 102") of the
Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version), 1961 (the "Tax Ordinance"), the
rules promulgated thereunder and the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 or any
substantially similar arrangement under Section 3(tet) of the Tax Ordinance.
Details regarding the terms and conditions of options granted and purchase
grants made pursuant to the provisions of Section 102 in addition to those set
forth herein, will be delivered to the participants who are Israeli residents
along with the remaining terms and conditions.

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each option and
purchase grant, and each share with respect to which an option or purchase grant
has been exercised by an employee or consultant who is an Israeli resident, may
be issued by the Company to, and held in trust (the "Trust") for the benefit of
such employee or consultant by a trustee (the "Trustee") designated by the Board
of Directors of the Company or its subsidiaries, as appropriate, pursuant to
Section 102. All certificates representing shares issued to the Trustee under
the Plan shall be deposited with the Trustee, and shall be held by the Trustee
until such time that such shares are released from the Trust as herein provided.
The Trustee shall hold the same pursuant to the instructions of Directors of the
Company or its subsidiaries, as appropriate, from time to time. The Trustee
shall not use the voting rights vested in such shares and shall not exercise
such rights in any way whatsoever, except in cases when at its discretion and
after consulting with the Board of Directors of the Company or its subsidiaries,
as appropriate, the Trustee believes that the said rights should be exercised
for the protection of the option holders and purchase grantees as a minority
among the Company's stockholders.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no options granted,
purchase grants made or shares purchased pursuant to Section 102 shall be
released from the Trust prior to two years after the grant of the options or
purchase grant to the Trustee on behalf of the employee (the "Release Date"), or
two years from the date of approval of the Plan by the Israeli Income Tax
authorities, whichever is later. Subject to the terms hereof, at any time after
the Release Date with respect to any options, purchase grants or shares, each
employee or consultant may require (but shall not be obligated to require) the
Trustee to release such options, purchase grants or shares, provided that no
securities shall be released from the Trust to the employee unless and until
such employee or consultant shall have deposited with the Trustee an amount of
money which, in the Trustee's opinion, is sufficient and necessary for the
discharge of such employee's or consultant's tax obligations with respect to
such shares, or other arrangement for the payment of tax, satisfactory to the
Trustee, have been made.

(d) Upon sale by an employee or consultant of any securities held in
Trust, the Company shall (or shall cause the Trustee to) withhold from the
proceeds of such sale all applicable taxes, shall remit the amount withheld to
the appropriate Israeli tax authorities, shall pay the balance thereof directly

I-1

***PRELIMINARY COPY***

to such employee or consultant, and shall report to such employee or consultant
the amount so withheld and paid to said tax authorities.

(e) All shares issued upon the exercise of options or purchase grants
granted under the Plan shall entitle the recipient thereof to receive dividends
with respect thereto, and to vote the same at any meeting of the stockholders of
the Company. For as long as shares issued to the Trustee on behalf of the
employee or consultant are held in the Trust, the cash dividends paid with
respect thereto shall be remitted to the Trustee for the benefit of such
employee or consultant, and the Trustee shall vote all such shares in accordance
