|
|
Notwithstanding

|

Listing
of the Series A Bonds on TASE – On the date of issuance of the Series A
bonds, they will be listed neither on TASE nor on the trading system for institutional investors
operated by TASE (TACT Institutional). Immediately after the
Issue, the Company shall apply to TASE to register the Series A
Bonds as a “non-registered security” (“
NRS ”) in the TASE clearinghouse, at the
Company’s discretion and subject to the provisions of any law
and the TASE articles of association. The Company will notify the
Trustee of the registration as a NRS, if and insofar as there shall
be such registration. Any and all costs of the registration shall
be borne by the Company in full, all subject to receipt of
appropriate approvals of TASE and/or the TASE clearinghouse and/or
another authority. The Company will be entitled to perform
modifications to the Indenture and/or the Bonds, as shall be
required by the Securities Authority and/or TASE and/or the TASE
clearinghouse and/or another authority for the purpose of
performance of the registration as a NRS, in accordance with the
language that shall be agreed upon in advance and in writing with
the Trustee, without the need for receipt of additional approval
from the bondholders, provided that the Trustee shall be convinced
that the required modification as aforesaid shall not prejudice the
rights of the holders of the Series A Bonds and shall approve the
modification in advance and in writing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is hereby
clarified that if the Company’s application for registration
as a NRS shall be denied for any reason, this will not constitute a
breach of the terms and conditions of this Indenture and the
Company will act to issue Series A Bond Certificates in the name of
the investors. In such a case, the Company shall pay directly to
the holders of the Series A Bonds all of the interest payments in
respect of the Series A Bonds by the date of the listing of the
Series A Bonds on TASE as stated in this section below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Immediately
after the Issue, the Company shall make its best efforts and take
all of the actions that are reasonably required, subject to the
provisions of any law and to the TASE rules, for the listing of the
Series A Bonds on TASE such that resale restrictions pursuant to
Section 15C of the Securities Law shall not apply to the holders of
the Series A Bonds, no later than a period of 12 months from the
Date of the Issue, namely from December 13, 2007. In any event of
listing of the Series A Bonds on TASE as aforesaid, the Company
shall be entitled to modify the provisions of the Indenture and the
provisions of the terms of the Bonds, if an insofar as shall be
required in accordance with the instructions of TASE and its
directives and/or the Securities Authority and/or the American
securities authority and/or another authority, all as shall be
agreed with the Trustee, without the need for receipt of any
approval by the Company from the holders of the Series A Bonds,
provided that the Trustee shall be convinced that the required
modification does not materially prejudice the rights of the
holders of the Series A Bonds. It is clarified that a modification
of the terms of payment of the Principal and interest, a
modification of the Principal and interest payment due date (with
the exception of a technical modification to the dates of payment
thereof), elimination of any of the grounds for acceleration that
are listed in this Indenture or elimination of any of the reports
that the Company has undertaken to deliver to the Trustee in this
Indenture – these will all be deemed as modifications which
materially prejudice the rights of the holders of the Series A
Bonds, as stated in this section, and therefore may not be modified
by the Trustee other than with the consent of the holders of the
Series A Bonds in a Special Resolution. The Company shall deliver
to the holders of the Series A Bonds written notice of any such
modification, if and to the extent performed, as early as possible
after performance thereof
|
[Free Translation from

|
|
|
It is hereby
clarified that the holders of the Series A Bonds and the Trustee
will entertain no claim against the Company or any person on behalf
thereof if the Series A Bonds shall not be listed on TASE, apart
from the right of the holders of the Series A Bonds to receive the
Interest for the Pre-Listing Period, as defined in Section 2.2 of
this Indenture, during the period in which the Series A Bonds are
not listed on TASE, and except as specified in Section 2.7 below.
In addition, it is hereby clarified that from the listing of the
Series A Bonds forth, the Reduced Interest specified in Section 2.3
above will be the interest that shall be paid in respect of the
Series A Bonds.

information as shall be reasonably required for the listing of the
Series A Bonds with respect to himself and with respect to the
Series A Bonds held by him, all as shall be required pursuant to
any law, including by a securities authority in the
U.S.A.

the Series A Bonds is subject to the Company meeting TASE’s
articles of association and the directives according thereto, as

initiated by the Company or for any other reason, the rating of the
Series A Bonds shall have dropped from the rating given to the
Series A Bonds on the date of the first allotment thereof, A3 of
Midroog (or a rating parallel thereto by another rating company) to
a rating of Baa1 of Midroog (or a rating parallel thereto of
another rating company), the annual interest rate to be borne by
the Series A Bonds shall be increased by one quarter percent
(0.25%).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Immediately
after the Date of the Issue, the Company shall act to register the
Series A Bonds in the name of a transfer agent of Mizrahi Tefahot Nominees Company

shall be performed other than with the Company’s approval and
only after the transferee and the transferor shall deliver to the
Company, in advance and in writing, the details as shall be
required for the purpose of performance of the transfer of the
Series A Bonds as well as an IRS W-8BEN form, all subject to
Section 2.11 below. In the framework of the details that shall be
required for a transfer of the Series A Bonds, the transferee shall
be required to assume the terms and conditions of this Indenture,
including the terms and conditions overleaf .
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A transfer
of the Series A Bonds without receipt of the Company’s
approval as aforesaid will be null and void, shall confer upon the
transferee no right vis-à-vis the Company and shall not
bind the Company.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

that the Series A Bonds shall not be listed on TASE within 12
months from the Date of the Issue, the following provisions shall

completed. In the foregoing notice, the Company shall also give

|
|
|
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

The Series A
Bonds that shall be purchased by the Company shall be cancelled and

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

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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.

Principal amount (if any) after deduction of the amount that was
paid or for payment as aforesaid.

Any amount that
is due to a Holder of the Series A Bonds that is not actually paid
for a reason that is not dependent upon the Company, while the
Company was prepared to pay the same, will cease to bear interest
and linkage differentials from the date scheduled for payment
thereof, and the Holder of the Series A Bond will only be entitled
to those amounts to which he was entitled on the date scheduled for
payment of the said payment on account of the Principal, interest
and linkage differentials.

|
|
|
|
The Company
will deposit with the Trustee, within 15 days from the date
scheduled for the said payment, the amount of the payment that
shall not have been paid for a reason that is not dependent upon
the Company, and such deposit shall be deemed as payment of said
payment, and in the event of payment of everything due in respect
of the Series A Bond, also as redemption of the Series A
Bond.

its name and to the order thereof to the credit of such
bondholders, in investments permitted according to the Indenture
and pursuant to the laws of the State of Israel, all as the Trustee
shall deem fit and subject to the provisions of the Law. Should the
Trustee do so, it shall not be liable to the entitled persons in
respect of such amounts other than for the proceeds that shall be
received from realization of investments, after deduction of the
expenses associated therewith. The Trustee shall hold the said
amounts and invest the same in the foregoing manner up until the
end of one year from the final redemption date of the Series A
Bonds. After this date, the Trustee will return the amounts that
shall have accrued in its hands, including profits deriving from
the investment thereof, to the Company which shall hold these
amounts in escrow for the holders of the Series A Bonds.

satisfaction thereof, of the holder’s entitlement to the
moneys.
