the following shall be inserted in its place:
|
““Final Repayment Date” |
means June 30, 2023”.
|
3. |
Increasing the Loans Limits and Decreasing the Bank Guarantees Limit
|
3.1 |
Without derogating from the provisions of sections 18.8 and 18.9 of the Credit Agreement, commencing on the date of signature of this Amendment Document:
|
(a) |
The loans limits amount set forth in Appendix 1 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended so that the total loans limits allocated by all the Lenders jointly shall increase and reach the sum of USD 62,200,000 (Sixty Two Million Two Hundred
Thousand), and the portion of each of the Lenders in the loans limits shall be as set forth in Appendix 1 of the Credit Agreement (as shall be amended in this Amendment Document).
|
(b) |
The bank guarantees limits amount set forth in Appendix 1 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended so that the total bank guarantees limits to be allocated by all the Lenders jointly shall be reduced to the sum of USD 57,800,000 (Fifty
Seven Million Eight Hundred Thousand), as follows, and the portion of each of the Lenders in the bank guarantees limits shall be as set forth in Appendix 1 of the Credit Agreement (as shall be amended in this Amendment Document).

(c) |
If, following the reduction in the bank guarantees limits as stated in subsection (b) above, the amount of the utilized bank guarantees limit allocated by a specific Lender (“Utilization Amount”) was
greater than the bank guarantees limit amount allocated by the Lender in question (the “Limit Amount”) – the difference between the Utilization Amount and the Limit Amount shall be deemed the amount
utilized from the loans limit allocated by the Lender in question and not as the amount utilized from the bank guarantees limit.
For example only: if, before the amendment under this Amendment Document,
the loans limit amount allocated by a Lender was NIS 50 million, from which NIS 40 million was utilized, whereas the bank guarantees limit that was allocated by the Lender in question was NIS 30 million, from which NIS 25 was utilized,
and following the amendment under this Amendment Document the loans limit amount increased to NIS 60 million and the bank guarantees limit amount was reduced to NIS 20 million, then the Utilization Amount of the guarantees limit shall be
NIS 20 million and the Utilization Amount of the loans limit shall be NIS 45 million.

Amount allotted by the Lender in question, according to the portion of each Lender in the loans limit, as set forth in Appendix 1 of the Credit Agreement in the version in effect immediately prior to the entry into effect of this Amendment
