We shall be entitled to utilize the Credit in the credit framework for any purpose permitted by law. | ||

5.2 | The Bank will not be obligated to honour any of our charge instructions resulting in the creation of an Exceptional Amount (or “Excess Amount” or “exception Amount”)) or increasing the said Exceptional Amount (hereinafter: the "Exceptional Charge Instruction"). | |

6. | Interest on Overdraft Balances in the Current Account | |
6.1 | Any overdraft balance in the Current Account, up to the amount of the Credit Facility, will bear variable interest comprised of the annual "LIBOR" interest rate, plus a risk surcharge of 2.25% (two and a quarter percent) (hereinafter: the "Interest").

6.3 | Immediately after the Termination Date of the Validity of the Credit Facility or the Termination Date of the Validity of the Last Additional Period, as the case may be, or in the case of the cancellation of the Credit Facility, for any reason, from its cancellation date, the overdraft balances in the Current Account will bear Interest at the maximum rate for the Credit Facility Currency, and the Bank may charge the full overdraft in the Current Account with Interest at the maximum rate for the Credit Facility Currency as stated, starting from the above-said dates. |
6.4 | As of 6.3.2012, the maximum interest rate for the Credit Facility Currency is variable interest comprised of interest at the annual LIBOR rate, plus a risk surcharge of 11.5% (eleven and a half percent).

7. | How the Interest Is Calculated in the Current Account and the Charging of the Current Account |
7.1 | Interest of any sort on the overdraft balances in the Current Account will be calculated as a multiplication of the daily overdraft balance, fully or partially, as the case may be, at annual instalments of any interest, as the case may be, applicable to the said overdraft, considering the rate of the overdraft at that time, divided by 360 (hereinafter: the "Interest on the Overdraft in the Current Account"). |
7.2 | Interest on Overdraft in the Current Account will be accumulative interest in accordance with the Bank's calculations. The said interest will be debited against the Current Account, in the Credit Facility Currency, at the end of every period of one month, on the first day of the following month; we are aware that the periods, the first or last, in which the said interest will be debited against the Current Account as stated in this Section 7.2 above, may be shorter than the other periods in which the said Credit is debited in the said Current Account. |

15.6.2 | In such a case our obligation towards the Bank, for which the repayment date is in the future, will be viewed as an obligation which is about to be made immediately due and payable by the Bank.

15.7.5 | If our obligation has been made immediately due and payable by means of setoff only due to the existence of a reasonable concern that we will not repay the Bank our obligations and the Bank has brought forward our charges towards us and paid the savings, before the due date, then, upon the fulfilment of these two conditions, accumulatively, we will bear the damage due to the bringing-forward of the Bank's charges towards us in the savings, for which the maturity date is in the future, however, subject to such, the provisions of Section 14 above and Section 15.10.3 below shall apply, inter alia, and in addition to that stated in this Section. |

15.15 | In any event where the Bank reduces or places the Credit Facility Amount at the extent of the overdraft in the Current Account (hereinafter: the "Reduced Credit Facility Amount"), we undertake to pay the Bank the overdraft in the Current Account, exceeding, at that time, or which will exceed, as the case may be, the Reduced Credit Facility Amount, plus interest, as detailed in Section 6.2 above, for any amount deviating beyond the Reduced Credit Facility Amount, if any, and this by no later than the date stipulated in the Bank's notice which will be sent to us, and to cease creating additional charges the honouring of which may create or increase the said Exceeded Amount. |

16.4 | If the Bank decides to realize securities, notes or other negotiable documents, a notice of three days in advance regarding the actions which the Bank is about to take will be deemed a reasonable period of time for the purpose of Section 19(b) of the Pledges Law, 5727 - 1967, or any provision of law replacing it. |
