Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

     GCP, GCP Executives, GC and GCP Cayman entered into the Stockholders Agreement covering the Common Stock to which this Statement relates for the purpose of inducing Arrow to enter into the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 4, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”), among Arrow, Arrow Subsidiary Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Arrow (“Merger Sub”), Delek Group Ltd. and the Company, and for the purpose of inducing Arrow to complete the transactions contemplated thereby.

      Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, each of the Stockholders agreed, among other things, (i) not to sell or otherwise transfer any of their shares of Common Stock of the Company prior to the earlier to occur of the effective time of the Merger (as hereinafter defined) or the date upon which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, and (ii) to vote (or cause to be voted), all shares of Common Stock that such Stockholder has the power to vote (a) in favor of the Merger and the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company and the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) against any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) submitted for approval to the stockholders of the Company or any other action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or which would result in any of the conditions to the Company’s or Arrow’s obligations under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled and (c) in favor of any other matter relating to and necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. BACI’s voting obligations under the Stockholders Agreement do not extend to the 1,270,745 shares of Common Stock deposited into a voting trust pursuant to the Voting Trust Agreement (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement).

Page 16 of 21 Pages




      Each Stockholder also granted Arrow an irrevocable proxy coupled with an interest to vote the shares of Common Stock that such Stockholder has the power to vote as provided for in the Stockholders Agreement.

      The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, for Merger Sub to be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), upon which the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and the Company will continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Arrow.

      As a result of the Merger, (i) each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock of the Company will be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive $20.40 in cash and (ii) except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement, each Outstanding Option, as defined in Section 2.4 of the Merger Agreement, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive the product of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company that would have been acquired upon the exercise of the Outstanding Option multiplied by the difference between $20.40 and the exercise price per share of the Common Stock subject to such Outstanding Option.

      The consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions, including the approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company and the receipt of certain regulatory and other approvals.

      The foregoing descriptions of the transactions contemplated by the Stockholders Agreement and the Merger Agreement are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the respective agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3, respectively. Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 are specifically incorporated herein by reference in answer to this Item 4.
