The Company shall issue the Series A Bonds under the terms and conditions as specified in this Indenture and in the Series A Bonds and shall secure the same as specified in this Indenture.

 

 

 

 

 

3.2

The Company reserves the right to purchase, at any time, regardless of whether on TASE, insofar as the Series A Bonds shall be listed thereon, or elsewhere, Series A Bonds at such price as it shall deem fit, without prejudice to the obligation to pay the Series A Bonds that shall be held by others who are not the Company.

 

 

 

 

 

The Series A Bonds that shall be purchased by the Company shall be cancelled and delisted from TASE, insofar as they shall be listed thereon, and the Company will not be entitled to reissue the same.

 

 

 

 

 

A subsidiary of the Company or of controlling shareholders of the Company and/or a company controlled by the controlling shareholders of the Company and/or of another entity affiliated with the Company and/or with the controlling shareholders thereof, apart from the Company itself (an “ Affiliated Corporation ”) may purchase and/or sell Bonds, from time to time, either on TASE or elsewhere, including by way of an issue, by the Company, of bonds at such price as it shall deem fit, and to sell the same accordingly. In the event of such a purchase and/or sale, the Company shall release an immediate report thereon and shall deliver notice to the Trustee. The immediate report and the notice as aforesaid will include reference to the quantities and prices that were purchased and/or sold by the Affiliated Corporation, as the case may be. The Bonds that shall be held as aforesaid by an Affiliated Corporation shall be deemed as an asset of the Affiliated Corporation and will not be delisted from TASE, other than subject to TASE rules. However, so long as the Bonds shall be held by the Affiliated Corporation, they shall confer no voting rights on their holders at the general meeting of the bondholders nor be taken into account for the purpose of determination of the presence of a legal quorum.

The Trustee may, at its sole discretion, determine that such a meeting not be convened.

Undertakings of the Company and Securing the Series A Bonds

 

 

 

The Company hereby undertakes to pay any and all Principal and interest amounts (including arrears interest, insofar as applicable) which shall be payable according to the terms and conditions of the Series A Bonds and to fulfill all of the remaining conditions and undertakings imposed thereon according to the terms and conditions of the Series A Bonds and according to this Indenture.

 

 

 

The Company’s undertaking to pay the Series A Bonds (Principal, interest and linkage differentials) is not secured by any pledge or collateral .

 

 

 

For the avoidance of doubt it is clarified that the Trustee is under no duty to examine, and in practice the Trustee has not examined, the need for the provision of securities to secure the payments to the bondholders. In its engagement in this Indenture, and in the Trustee’s agreement to serve as trustee for the bondholders, the Trustee does not opine, either explicitly or implicitly, on the Company’s ability to meet its undertakings to the bondholders. The aforesaid does not constitute prior consent on the part of the Trustee to such actions nor does it derogate from the Trustee’s duties pursuant to law and/or the Indenture, including the Trustee’s duty (insofar as the Trustee is subject to such a duty pursuant to any law) to examine the effect of changes in the Company from the Date of the Issue forth, insofar as they serve to have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to meet its undertakings to the holders of the Series A Bonds. The aforesaid does not derogate from the Trustee’s duties pursuant to law and/or the Indenture.

Early Redemption

 

 

 

Insofar as the Series A Bonds shall be listed on TASE:

 

 

 

Should TASE decide to delist the Series A Bonds in circulation due to the fact that the value of the public holdings thereof has dropped below the minimal amount determined in the TASE directives regarding delisting, the Company shall not perform immediate redemption of the Series A Bonds, although the Series A Bonds will be delisted from TASE and the holders thereof will be subject to the tax implications deriving therefrom.
