3. | Terms of the Issuance; Self-Purchase | |

The
Company shall issue the Debentures according to the conditions specified

|
|
3.2
|
The
Company reserves the right to purchase at any time, within or without the
Stock Exchange, Debentures at any price of its choosing, without prejudice
to the obligation of repayment of the Debentures remaining in circulation
as specified above. The Debentures that will be purchased by the Company

Holder of the Company (“Affiliated Company”)
are allowed to purchase and/or sell from time to time within or without
the Stock Exchange, including by way of issuance by the Company,
Debentures at any price of their choosing and sell them accordingly. The

Exchange.
|
-9-
On
the matter of holding Meetings of Holders of Debentures, the provisions of
Section 2.19 of the second addendum to this Deed will
apply.
|
||
3.4
|
The
Company is allowed, at any time and from time
to time, without needing the consent of the Debenture Holders or the
Trustee, to issue, including to an Affiliated Company, Debentures of a
different type and/or of different series and/or other Debentures
securities, whether secured or unsecured, whether granting a right of
conversion into shares of the Company or not granting such right, whether
by public offering pursuant to a prospectus, by private placement, by a
Shelf Offer Report or otherwise, under terms of redemption, interest,
linkage, discounting, repayment rate in the case of liquidation and other
conditions, as the Company sees fit, whether they are preferable to the
terms of the Debentures issued pursuant to the prospectus, equal to them
or inferior to them.
|
|
3.5
|
Without
derogating from the foregoing, the Company is allowed, at any time and
from time to time, without needing the consent of the Debenture Holders or
the Trustee of each of the series, to issue, including to an Affiliated
Company, additional Debentures from the Series offered under the Shelf
Prospectus. The additional Debentures that will be issued, to the extent
issued, including their conditions and resulting rights, will be identical
and as the existing Debentures in the same series, and will together
constitute one series for all purposes (it is clarified that in the case
of such issuance, the offerees to which additional Debentures will be
issued will not be entitled to payment of principal and/or interest whose
determinant payment date preceded the issuing date). The provisions of the
Deed of Trust of the relevant series will apply to these additional
Debentures. The Company will publish an immediate report on such an
issuance of additional Debentures and will apply to the Stock Exchange in
an application to list these additional for trading these additional
Debentures therein. In the case of expansion of the series of the
Debentures as above, the fee of the Trustee shall be increased in
proportion to the increase of the size of the series.
|
|
The
Company shall inform the Trustee and the Debenture Holders of the issue of
these additional Debentures.
|
||
This
right of the Company does not exempt the Trustee from examining such an
issuance, to the extent that such a duty is imposed on the Trustee by law,
and it does not derogate from the rights of the Trustee and of the Meeting
of the Debenture Holders according to the Deed of Trust, including their
right to make the Debentures immediately repayable as stated in
Section 16 of the terms listed in the overleaf.
|
||
3.6
|
The
Company reserves the right to allocate the Debentures following an
expansion of the series at a different discount rate (higher or lower)
than the discount rate of the Debentures then in circulation (including
due to issuance at a price that reflects a
|
-10-
different discount rate). The discounted allocation of the Debentures originating from expansion of the series of the Debentures at a rate exceeding the discount rate established for the Debentures before the expansion may adversely affect the state of the Debenture Holders. | ||
3.7
|
The
provisions of this Section 3 above itself do not bind the Company or the
Debenture Holders to purchase Debentures or sell the Debentures in their
possession.
|
|
3.8
|
Wherever
the rules of the Stock Exchange apply or will apply to any action
according to this Deed of Trust, they will have preference over the
provisions hereof, and the dates of such an action will be determined in
accordance with the rules of the Stock
Exchange.
|
4. | Undertakings of the Company | |

Company undertakes hereby towards the Debenture Holders, through the

channels.
|
5.
|
Securing of the Debentures | |

5.3
|
For
the removal of doubt, it is clarified that the Trustee has no duty to

collateral for securing the payments to the Debenture Holders. In its
entering the engagement in this Deed of Trust, and with the consent of the
Trustee to serve as the trustee for the Debenture Holders, the Trustee
does not express its opinion, implicitly or explicitly, as to the ability
of the Company to fulfill its undertakings towards the Debenture Holders
in any of the Series.
|
|
For
the removal of doubt, it is clarified that if the Company’s undertakings
towards the Debenture Holders are secured by any collateral, the Trustee
has no duty to examine, and in fact the Trustee will not examine, the
value of the collateral. In its entering the engagement in this Deed of
Trust, and with the consent of the Trustee to serve as the trustee for the
Debenture Holders, the Trustee does not express its opinion, implicitly or
explicitly, as to the value of the collateral, to the extent that
collateral is provided, or as to the ability of the Company to fulfill its
undertakings towards the Debenture Holders in any of the Series. In the
event that the Debentures are secured by any collateral, the fee of the
Trustee shall be increased as shall be agreed between the Company and the
Trustee. The Trustee has not been requested to perform, and in fact has
not performed a financial, accounting or legal due diligence as to the
state of affairs of the Company or the subsidiaries and will not perform
such due diligence when a series is taken off the
shelf.
|
||
The
foregoing does not derogate from the duty of the Trustee by law and/or
Deed of Trust, nor does it derogate from the duty of the Trustee (to the
extent that this duty applies to the Trustee according to any law) to
examine the effect of changes in the Company from the date of the
Prospectus onwards, to the extent that these may adversely affect the
ability of the Company to fulfill its undertakings to the Debenture
Holders in any of the Series.
|
||
5.4
|
The
Debentures in any of the Series will be in an equal pari passu degree of
security among themselves concerning the undertakings of the Company
pursuant to the Debentures of the same Series, without precedence or
preference over each other.
|
6.
|

6.1
|

|
-12-
delisting from trade therein and/or in the event that the Stock Exchange decides to delist from trade therein the Convertible Debentures in any of the Series 1 through 2 in circulation by reason of the public’s holdings therein falling below the minimum amount stipulated in the Code and guidelines of the Stock Exchange with respect to the delisting from trade therein, the Company will not allow such early redemption of the Series due to the delisting from trade as aforesaid, unless otherwise notified by the Company in the Shelf Offer Report under which the Series of Debentures is initially issued. | ||

otherwise. Information concerning the Debentures’ securing mechanism, to
the extent that they are secured by collateral, any pledge or otherwise,
will be provided in the Initial Shelf Offer Report for each of the
relevant Series of Debentures.
|
|
2.2
|
Unless
otherwise stated in the Initial Shelf Offer Report for each of the
relevant Series of Debentures, the Company will be
allowed to pledge its assets, in part or in full,
by
|
-40-
|
any
pledge and in any way, to the benefit of any third party, without the need
for any consent from the Trustee and/or the Debenture Holdersfrom each of

Debenture Holders in each of the

|
|
2.3
|
For
the removal of doubt, it is clarified that the Trustee has no duty to
examine, and in fact the Trustee has not examined, the need for providing
collateral for securing the payments to the Debenture Holders. In its
entering the engagement in this Deed of Trust, and with the consent of the
Trustee to serve as the trustee for the Debenture Holders, the Trustee
does not express its opinion, implicitly or explicitly, as to the ability
of the Company to fulfill its undertakings towards the Debenture Holders
of each of the Series.
|
For the
removal of doubt it is clarified that if the Company’s undertakings towards the
Debenture Holders are secured by any collateral, the Trustee has no duty to
examine, and in fact the Trustee will not examine, the value of the collateral.
In its entering the engagement in this Deed of Trust, and with the consent of
the Trustee to serve as the trustee for the Debenture Holders, the Trustee does
not express its opinion, implicitly or explicitly, as to the value of the
collateral, to the extent that collateral is provided, or as to the ability of
the Company to fulfill its undertakings towards the Debenture Holders in any of
the Series. In the event that the Debentures are secured by any collateral, the
fee of the Trustee shall be increased as shall be agreed between the Company and
the Trustee.
The
Trustee has not been requested to perform, and in fact has not performed a
financial, accounting or legal due diligence as to the state of affairs of the
Company or the subsidiaries and will not perform such due diligence when a
series is taken off the shelf.
The
foregoing does not derogate from the duty of the Trustee by law and/or Deed of
Trust, nor does it derogate from the duty of the Trustee (to the extent that
this duty applies to the Trustee according to any law) to examine the effect of
changes in the Company from the date of the Prospectus onwards, to the extent
that these may adversely affect the ability of the Company to fulfill its
undertakings to the Debenture Holders in any of the Series.
|
2.4
|
The
Debentures in any of the Series will be in an equal pari passu degree of

Offer Report for the relevant Series and subject to the linkage terms specified
in this section below.
The
principal of the Debentures may be linked to any of the linkage bases listed
below or unlinked, all as shall be specified in the Initial Offer Report of the
Debentures in that Series, with reference to the definitions of the linkage
bases provided below:
|
3.1
|
Linkage
to the Index
|
If the
terms of the relevant Series of Debentures stipulate the linkage of the
principal and interest of the Debentures in that Series to the Index, then the
linkage to the Index of the principal and interest will be such that, if on any
date of payment on account of the principal and/or interest of said Debentures
the Payment Index exceeds the Basic Index, the Company’s principal and/or
interest payment on such date would be increased in proportion to the rate of
increase in the Payment Index over the Basic Index. In case the Payment Index is
less than the Basic Index, the Company may stipulate in the Initial Offer Report
of the Debentures in that Series that the principal and/or interest of the
Debentures are to be secured (i.e. if the Payment Index is less than the Basic
Index, the Payment Index shall be the Basic Index) or unsecured (i.e. the
Payment Index shall be the Known Index on the date of payment, even if such
index is less than the Basic Index). The securing against a decrease in the
index where the Payment Index is less than the Basic Index is to be provided for
in the Initial Offer Report, as described above.
The
interest payable on the Debentures in that Series will be at a fixed rate as
described in Section 4.1.1 below, or at a variable rate (Prime Interest or
Telbor Interest or any other basic interest, as shall be determined in the
Initial Offer Report of the Debentures in the relevant Series, with the addition
or less a margin that would be specified in the Initial Offer Report or
determined in a bid) as described in Section 4.1.2 below.

|
If the
terms of the relevant Series of Debentures stipulate the linkage of the
principal and interest of the Debentures in that Series to foreign currency,
then their linkage to foreign currency will be such that, if on any date of
payment on account of the principal and/or interest of said Debentures the
Payment Exchange Rate exceeds the Basic Exchange Rate, the Company’s
principal/interest payment on such date would be
-42-
increased
in proportion to the rate of increase in the Payment Exchange Rate over the
Basic Exchange Rate. In case the Payment Exchange Rate is less than the Basic
Exchange Rate, the Company may stipulate in the Initial Offer Report of the
Debentures in that Series that the principal and/or interest of the Debentures
are to be secured (i.e. if the Payment Exchange Rate is less than the Basic
Exchange Rate, the Payment Exchange Rate shall be the Basic Exchange Rate) or
unsecured (i.e. the Payment Exchange Rate shall be the Known Exchange Rate on
the date of payment, even if such Exchange Rate is less than the Basic Exchange
Rate). The securing against a decrease in the Foreign Currency Exchange Rate
where the Payment Exchange Rate is less than the Basic Exchange Rate is to be
provided for in the aforesaid Initial Offer Report.
The
interest payable on the Debentures in that Series will be at a fixed rate as
described in Section 4.3.1 below, or at a variable rate (Libor Interest or

or less a margin that would be specified in the Initial Offer Report or
determined in a bid) as described in Section 4.3.2 below.
|
3.3
|
Unlinked
Debentures
|
If the
terms of the relevant Series of Debentures do not stipulate any linkage basis
for the principal of the Debentures in that Series, the principal will be
denominated in NIS and would not be linked to any Index or Foreign Currency. In
this case, the interest on the Debentures would also not be linked to any Index
or Foreign Currency.
The
interest payable on the Debentures in that Series will be at a fixed rate as
described in Section 4.2.1 below, or at a variable rate (Prime Interest or
Telbor Interest or any other basic interest, as shall be determined in the
Initial Offer Report of the Debentures in the relevant Series, with the addition
or less a margin that would be specified in the Initial Offer Report or
determined in a bid) as described in Section 4.2.2 below.
|
3.4
|
Subject
to the stated in the Code and Guidelines of the Stock Exchange, the
linkage method will not be changed throughout the period of the Debentures
and no more than one linkage basis will be assigned to each of the Series
of Debentures.

that fully complies with all the terms stipulated in this Prospectus, as
appropriate, will be deemed as the date of conversion (“the Conversion
Date”).
|
|
5.1.7
|
In
the event that the Converter does not fully comply with the terms for the
conversion of the Convertible Debentures, the Conversion Notice will be
deemed as void and the Certificates of the Convertible Debentures will be

altered.
|
-47-

The
Converter will not be entitled to the allocation of a part of a single
Conversion Share, however any fractions of Conversion Shares that arise
upon conversion, if any, will be sold on the Stock Exchange by a trustee
that would be appointed by the Company for this purpose, within thirty
(30) days of the accrual of such fractions into whole shares in a quantity
that is reasonable for sale on the Stock Exchange, taking into
consideration the costs involve, and the net consideration from the sale
will be proportionately divided between the beneficiaries within fifteen
(15) days of the selling date. A check will not be issued to any of the
beneficiaries for an amount less than NIS 50; such amounts may be
collected at the offices of the
Company.
|

5.1.10
|
Conversion
Shares will confer upon their holders full participation rights in any
dividend and other distribution the determinant date for entitlement
thereto is the Conversion Date or a later date, and will be equal in
rights in all respects to the ordinary shares outstanding in the Company’s
equity on such date.
|
|
5.1.11
|
Any
Convertible Debentures that are converted will be removed from circulation
on their Conversion Date and will be fully cancelled, with retroactive
effect to the Conversion Date, from the date of allotment of Conversion
Shares in their respect, and will not confer any right to any interest
subsequent to the final date of payment of interest thereon, with respect
to which the determinant date precedes the Conversion date, and will not
confer any right to linkage differences accrued on the balance of the
principal under the terms of linkage as stated in Section 3 above
(and which would have been payable together with the principal of the
Debentures had the applicant not exercised his right to convert the
Convertible Debentures into shares as
aforesaid).
|
|
5.1.12
|
Any
part of the Convertible Debentures of any Series that is not converted
until the End of the Conversion Period of such Series will no longer
confer upon its Holder any right to convert it into Conversion Shares, and
the related conversion right will be null and void subsequent to said
date.
|
|
5.2
|

|
Directives for the
protection of the Holders of Convertible Debentures during the Conversion
Period
|
|
5.3.1
|
Distribution of bonus
shares
|
In the
event of the distribution of bonus shares by the Company between the
-49-
date of
the Initial Offer Report of any of the Series of Convertible Debentures through
to the End of the Conversion Period of such Series, the rights of the Holders of
Convertible Debenture in said Series will be protected as follows:
|
5.3.1.1
|
Subsequent
to the determinant date for the entitlement to participate in such
distribution, the number of Conversion Shares receivable by the Holder of
Convertible Debentures in such Series upon their conversion would be
increased by adding the number of shares to which the Holder would have
been entitled as bonus shares had he converted the Convertible Debentures
immediately before the aforesaid determinant
date.
|
|
5.3.1.2
|
The
Holder of the Convertible Debentures will not be entitled to the
allocation of a part of a bonus share as above, however any fractions of
bonus shares that arise upon allotment, if any, will be sold on the Stock
Exchange by a trustee that would be appointed by the Company for this
purpose, within thirty (30) days of the aforesaid date of allotment, and
the net consideration (less selling costs and compulsory payments and
fees) will be divided between the beneficiaries within fifteen (15) days
of the selling date. A check will not be issued to one beneficiary for an
amount less than NIS 50; such amounts may be collected at the offices
of the Company.
|
|
5.3.1.3
|
Subject
to the stated in the Code and guidelines of the Stock Exchange, the
adjustment method may not be
altered.
|
|
5.3.2
|
Issuance of
rights
|
In the
event that, between date of the Initial Offer Report of any of the Series of
Convertible Debentures through to the End of the Conversion Period of such
Series, the Company should offer to its shareholders securities of any kind by
way of the issuance of rights, the number of Conversion Shares receivable upon
conversion of the Convertible Debentures in such Series that have not yet been
converted into ordinary shares of the Company on the determinant date based will
be adjusted according to the benefit component of the rights, as reflected in
the ratio of the quoted price of the Company’s share on the Stock Exchange on
the determinant date to the basic “ex rights” price. Subject to the stated in
the Code and guidelines of the Stock Exchange, the adjustment method may not be
altered.
|
5.3.3
|
Adjustment with
respect to dividend
distribution
|
Should
the Company carry out a dividend distribution, as defined in the
-50-
Companies
Law (“the distribution”), the determinant date for the entitlement thereto (“the
determinant date for distribution”) falls before the End of the Conversion
Period, one of the provisions stipulated in subsections (1) and (2) below shall
apply, all as shall be determined by the Company in the Initial Offer Report of
the Convertible Debentures under the Shelf Prospectus. The Company will publish
in detail in the aforesaid Offer Report the manner of adjustment of the
Conversion Rate and/or the Conversion Ratio following a distribution, to the
extent that such is carried out, based on its selection of one of the following
alternatives:
|
5.3.3.1
|
The
Conversion Rate and/or the Conversion Ratio will not be adjusted as a
result of a distribution by the
Company.
|
|
5.3.3.2
|
Commencing
on the first Trade Day on which the Company’s shares are traded subsequent
to the determinant date for distribution (ex dividend), the Conversion
Ratio of the Convertible Debentures in circulation will be adjusted by its
multiplication by the ratio of the price of the Company’s share on the
Stock Exchange, as determined by the Stock Exchange, adjusted for the
distribution (ex dividend price), to the closing price determined for the
Company’s share by the Stock Exchange on the determinant date for
distribution). The Company will announce the adjustment of the Conversion
Ratio, as above, in an immediate report not later than the date on which
the Company’s shares are traded “ex
dividend”.
|
The
Company will act in accordance with the stated in Section 5.3.3.1 above,
this without derogating from the Company’s right, as aforesaid, to change the
adjustment of the Conversion Rate and/or the Conversion Ratio following a
distribution by way of the issuance of a notice within the framework of the
Initial Offer Report of the Debentures in the relevant Series.
|
5.4
|
Additional directives
for the protection of the Holders of Convertible Debentures during the
Conversion Period
|
Commencing
on the date of publication of the Offer Report for any Series of Convertible
Debentures until all of the Convertible Debenture in that Series are converted,
but in no event later than the End of the Conversion Period of the Series, the
following directives shall apply:
|
5.4.1
|
The
Company will maintain a sufficient amount of ordinary shares in its
authorized share capital, to secure the allotment of all of the shares
that may result from the conversion of all of the Convertible Debentures
in a given Series
|
-51-
that are in circulation
from time to time, and if necessary will cause the increase of its authorized
share capital accordingly.
|
5.4.2
|
Should
the Company consolidate the ordinary shares in its issued share capital
into shares with a greater par value or subdivide them into shares with a
lesser par value - the number of Conversion Shares for allotment
following the conversion of the Convertible Debentures in the relevant
Series would be consequently reduced or increased, as appropriate. In such
case, the provisions of this Section 5.4 must be followed, mutatis
mutandis.
|
|
5.4.3
|
Within
ten (10) days of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate or to the number of
Conversion Shares in relation to the aforesaid Series of Convertible
Debentures, the Company will publish a notice in two (2) widely
distributed daily newspapers that are published in Israel in Hebrew,
concerning the entitlement of the Holders of Convertible Debentures in
said Series to convert them into shares, specifying the Conversion Period,
the Conversion Rate and the number of Conversion Shares to which the
Holder of Convertible Shares would be entitled following a conversion at
such time, all in relation to the abovementioned
Series.
|
|
5.4.4
|
In
addition to said notice, not later than three (3) weeks and not earlier
than four (4) weeks before the End of the Conversion Period in respect of
said Series, the Company will publish a notice in two (2) widely
distributed daily newspapers that are published in Israel in Hebrew, and
will issue a written notice, with copies to the Stock Exchange and the
Trustee of the Series, to the Holders registered in the Register of the
Holders of Convertible Debentures in that Series, one month prior to the
End of the Conversion Period, as aforesaid, concerning the final date for
the conversion of the Convertible Debentures in that Series. Such notice
will specify the Conversion Rate, the number of Conversion Shares and the
number of bonus shares to which the Holder of Convertible Shares would be
entitled following a conversion at such time, all in relation to the
abovementioned Series.
|
|
5.4.5
|
The
Company will not distribute nor offer to the holders of ordinary shares a
cash dividend or bonus shares or an offer of rights in any securities,
unless the determinant date for their receipt is at least ten (10) days
after the publication of the Company’s notice concerning the distribution
or offer of rights, as appropriate.
|
|
5.4.6
|
The
Company will refrain from any action, including the distribution of bonus
shares, which may result in the reduction of the price of a Conversion
Share below its par value.
|
-52-
|
5.4.7
|
In
accordance with the Code and guidelines of the Stock Exchange, the terms
of the Convertible Debentures with respect to the Conversion Rate, the
conversion dates and the linkage method cannot be changed; nevertheless,
the Company is allowed to change the Conversion Period and/or the
Conversion Rate provided that such change is effected within the framework
of an arrangement or settlement that has been approved by Court, under
Section 350 of the Companies Law. Additionally, in accordance with
the Code and guidelines of the Stock Exchange, the Company may change the
Conversion Rate as part of a procedure for the split of the Company or a
procedure for the merger of the Company, provided that the change includes
only those adjustments that are essential to such
procedure.
|
In
accordance with the Code and guidelines of the Stock Exchange, the “split
procedure” for this purpose signifies - a procedure whereunder the Company
transfers to its shareholders shares that it holds in another company, or a
procedure whereunder the Company transfers assets and liabilities to a new
company that was established for the purpose of the split and the shareholders
in the new company are also shareholders in the company that transfers the
assets and liabilities, all conditional upon the split procedure being carried
out pari passu for all
shareholders of the Company. In accordance with the Code and guidelines of the
Stock Exchange, the “merger procedure” for this purpose signifies - a procedure
whereunder all the shares of the Company are transferred to the possession of a
new company or to the possession of another registered company whose shares are
listed for trade on the Stock Exchange or a procedure whereunder the Company
transfers all of its assets and liabilities to another company as above, all
conditional upon the securities of the Company whose shares or assets are to be
transferred as aforesaid being delisted from trade on the Stock Exchange and
upon the merger procedure being carried out pari passu for all
shareholders of the Company.
Notwithstanding
the above, in accordance with the Code and guidelines of the Stock Exchange, the
Company may change the Conversion Rate, provided that such change is effected as
part of a procedure for an offering by way of rights in the Company or as part
of a procedure for the distribution of a bonus shares in the Company or as part
of a procedure for the distribution of dividend in the Company, and provided
that the change includes only those adjustments that are essential to such
procedure, as described in Section 5.3 above.

event that the Code and guidelines of the Stock Exchange relating to the
alteration of the terms of the Convertible Debentures are amended, the amended
-53-
provisions
shall apply.
|
5.5
|

the event that a resolution is passed for the voluntary liquidation of the
Company, the Company will issue a written notice to this effect to all the
Holders of Convertible Debentures in circulation at the time, that are
registered in the Register of the relevant Series of Convertible
Debentures, and will additionally publish a notice in this regard in two
(2) widely distributed daily newspapers that are published in Israel in
Hebrew. Every Holder of Convertible Debentures shall be entitled, at his
choice, to be considered as having exercised the conversion right
pertaining to the Debentures shortly before the resolution was passed,
provided that he notifies the Company of his choice within three (3)
months of the said notice by the
Company.
|
|
5.5.2
|
In
such case, the Holder of the Convertible Debentures shall be entitled to
participate in the distribution of the excess assets of the Company upon
liquidation (following the settlement of all its debts) between its
shareholders, this in the amount that he would have received upon the
liquidation of the Company had he been a shareholder in the Company
shortly before the passing of the liquidation resolution by virtue of the
conversion of the Convertible Debentures that are in his possession, with
respect to which he had notified the Company as aforesaid, less the amount
of interest that was paid for such Convertible Debentures on the date of
the resolution or shortly thereafter (with the exception of interest that
falls due prior to the date of the resolution, even if paid on the date of
the resolution or thereafter); and the Holder of the Convertible
debentures will not be entitled to any payment under the Debentures that

of the bank account of the persons whose names are listed in the Register
of the Debenture Holders and that is indicated in the details that they

provisions of subsection 6.5 below. If the Company cannot, for any reason
that does not depend thereupon, pay any sum to the beneficiaries, the
provisions of Section 7 below will

|
|
6.5
|

In
the case of the notice being received by the Company belatedly, the
Company shall act thereby only concerning installments whose Determinant
Payment Date is after the date of payment which is
near to the day of receipt of the
notice.
|
|
6.6
|
If
a Debenture Holder who is entitled to such a payment has not given the
Company in advance details concerning its bank account, any installment on
the account of the principal and interest will be made out by a check that
will be sent by registered mail to its last address listed in the Register
of the Debenture Holders. Sending of a check to a beneficiary by
registered mail as stated above will be considered, for all intents and

a Reason that does not Depend on the Company
|

sum that is due to the debenture Holder that is not actually paid for a
reason that does not depend on the Company, while the company was prepared

|
The
Company will deposit with the Trustee by no later than 14 business days

and mandatory payments, if any that are related to the said investment in
managing the trust account less its
fee.
|
|
7.4

Trustee shall transfer to each Debenture Holder for which sums and/or
funds due to the Debenture Holders have been deposited with the Trustee,
out of sums thus deposited, less all expenses, commissions, the mandatory
payments and its fee, against presentation of the proof that is required
by the Trustee, to the full satisfaction
thereof.
|
|

thereto by the Trustee, for the Debenture Holders that are entitled to
those sums, and with regard to the sums that are transferred thereto by
the Trustee as stated above, the provisions of Section 7.3 of this Deed of
Trust will apply, mutatis mutandis. Upon

satisfaction of the Trustee, the Trustee shall be exempt from payment of
such sums to the entitled Debenture Holders. The Company shall approve to
the Trustee in writing the holding of the sums and the receipt thereof in
trust for the said Debenture Holders, and will indemnify the Trustee for
any claim and/or expense and/or damage of any type that it sustains due to
and for the said money transfer, as long as the Trustee has acted

of a corporation - due to the liquidation thereof) will be entitled to
register as the Holders thereof, after giving evidence that in the opinion
of the Company is satisfactory for proving the right of any of the above

9. The Debenture Certificates,
their Split and Transfer
|
9.1
|
For
the Debentures that are listed to one Holder, one certificate will be

accepted format for transferring shares, duly signed by the registered
owner or the legal representatives thereof, and by the transferee or the

its registered office along with any other proof that is required by the
Company for proving the right of the transferor to their transfer and the
identity thereof. If any stamp tax or other mandatory payment applies to
the deed of transfer of the Debentures, the company will be given proof of
their payment by the requester of the transfer, which will be to the
satisfaction of the Company.
|

of the Debentures in the Certificate, the Certificate will be split first
as specified in Section 9.2 above into a number of Debenture Certificates
as required thereby, in such a manner that the total sums of the principal
specified therein is equal to the sum of the specified principal of the
said Debenture Certificate.

fulfillment of all of the conditions stated above, the transfer will be
registered in the Register of the Debenture
Holders.

if any, and the interest accrued on the principal, with the interest being
calculated in proportion to the period from the last date for which
interest has been paid to the aforesaid actual date of early redemption
(the calculation of interest for a part of a year will be based on a
365-day year).
|
|
10.1.5
|
The
scheduling of a date of early redemption, as above, does note derogate
from the redemption rights provided for in the Debentures of the same
Series, of any of the Debenture Holders that do not redeem them on the
date of early redemption as above, and in the case of Convertible
Debentures, does not derogate from the conversion rights provided for

Exchange and shall be, inter alia, subject to the consequent tax
implications.
|
|
10.1.6
|
The
early redemption of the Debentures as aforesaid will not confer upon the
Holder of Debentures of the same Series redeemed as above the right to
receive
|
-59-
interest in respect of the
period subsequent to the date of redemption.
|
10.2
|
Early
redemption initiated by the Company - The Company will be allowed to call
for the early redemption of the Debentures in Series E through I and 1
through to 2 offered under the Offer Report in accordance with the Shelf
Prospectus, under the terms and according to the price, mechanism,
schedules and the other terms stipulated by the Code and guidelines of the
Stock Exchange prevailing at such time, as shall be determined in the
Initial Offer Report of the Debentures in the relevant
Series.
|
11. Purchase of the Debentures
by the Company and/or by a subsidiary
|
11.1
|
The
Company reserves the right to purchase at any time, within or without the
Stock Exchange, Debentures at any price of its choosing, without prejudice
to the obligation of repayment of the Debentures remaining in circulation
as specified above. The Debentures that will be purchased by the Company
will be cancelled and delisted from trade on the Stock Exchange, and the
Company will not be allowed to re-issue them. If the purchase of the
Debentures by the Company is carried out as part of the trade on the Stock
Exchange, the Company will apply to the Stock Exchange Clearing House to
withdraw the relevant Debenture
Certificates.
|
|
11.2
|
A
subsidiary of the Company and/or the controlling shareholder and/or
companies under the control of the controlling shareholder of the Company
(“Affiliated
Company”) are allowed to purchase and/or sell from time to time
within or without the Stock Exchange, including by way of issuance by the
Company, Debentures at any price of their choosing and sell them
accordingly. The Debentures thus held by the allied corporation will be
considered as an asset of the affiliated company, and if they are listed
for trading, they will not be delisted from trade on the Stock Exchange
other than subject to the rules of the Stock
Exchange.
|
|
On
the matter of holding Meetings of Holders of Debentures, the provisions of
Section 2.19 of the second addendum to this Deed will
apply.
|
|
11.3
|
The
Company is allowed, at any time and from time
to time, without needing the consent of the Debenture Holders or the
Trustee, to issue, including to an affiliated company, Debentures of a
different type and/or of different series and/or other securities, whether
secured or unsecured, whether granting a right of conversion into shares
of the Company or not granting such right, whether by public offering, by
a private placement or under a Shelf Offer Report or otherwise, under
terms of redemption, interest, linkage, discounting, repayment rate in the
case of liquidation and other conditions, as the Company sees fit, whether
they are preferable to the terms of the Debentures issued pursuant to the
Prospectus, equal to them or inferior to
them.
|
|
11.4
|
Without
derogating from the foregoing, the Company is allowed, at any time and
from
|
-60-
time
to time, without needing the consent of the Debenture Holders or the Trustee of
Each Series, to issue, including to an affiliated company, additional Debentures
from the Series offered under the Shelf Prospectus. The additional Debentures
that will be issued, to the extent issued, including their conditions and
resulting rights, will be identical and as the existing Debentures in the same
Series, and will together constitute one series for all purposes (it is
clarified that in the case of such issuance, the offerees to whom additional
Debentures will be issued will not be entitled to payment of principal and/or
interest whose determinant payment date preceded the issuance date). The
provisions of the Deed of Trust of the relevant Series will apply to these
additional Debentures. The Company shall publish an immediate statement on such
an issuance of additional Debentures and will apply to the Stock Exchange in an
application to list these additional Debentures for trading these additional
Debentures therein. In the case of expansion of the series of the Debentures as
above, the fee of the Trustee shall be increased in proportion to the increase
of the size of the series.
The
Company shall inform the Trustee and the Debenture Holders of the issue of these
additional Debentures.
This
right of the Company does not exempt the Trustee from examining such an
issuance, to the extent that such a duty is imposed on the Trustee by law, and
it does not derogate from the rights of the Trustee and of the Meeting of the
Debenture Holders according to the Deed of Trust, including their right to make
the Debentures immediately payable as stated in Section 16 below.
|
11.5
|
The
Company reserves the right to allocate the Debentures following an
expansion of the series at a different discount rate (higher or lower)
than the discount rate of the Debentures then in circulation (including
due to issuance at a price that reflects a different discount rate). The
discounted allocation of the Debentures originating from expansion of the
series of the Debentures at a rate exceeding the discount rate established
for the Debentures before the expansion may adversely affect the state of
the Debenture Holders.
|
|
11.6
|
The
provisions of this Section 11 above itself do not bind the Company or the
Debenture Holders to purchase Debentures or sell the Debentures in their
possession.
|
|
11.7
|
Wherever
the rules of the Stock Exchange apply or will apply to any action
according to this Deed of Trust, they will have preference over the
provisions hereof, and the dates of such an action will be determined in
accordance with the rules of the Stock
Exchange.

rights of the Debenture Holders, including waiving any right or claim of

action, as approved by the general Meeting. The foregoing does not exempt
the Trustee from responsibility for its actions until the date of making a
decision of the Meeting of the Holders and/or its actions concerning its
application.

Holders.

section above, the Trustee shall be entitled to demand that the Debenture
Holders give to it or to the Company their certificates, for noting a

Debentures”).
1.
|
Calling
of Meetings of the Debenture
Holders:
|
|

Trustee and/or the Company calls such a Meeting, they must send

|
|
it)
to the same place and time, without there being a duty to announce this to
the Debenture Holders, or to another day, place and time, as chosen by the
inviting party, which it will announce to the Debenture Holders at least
three (3) days in advance. If no legal quorum is found in a Meeting thus
deferred, half an hour after the time established for starting the

regardless of the par value held thereby, will constitute a legal quorum,
and other than the legal quorum required for adopting a special
resolution, provided that the instruction determining the legal quorum as
above is published within the notice of the original Meeting, provided
that the notice to the Debenture Holders of the holding of the deferred
Meeting is announced in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.4
hereto above, by no later than seven (7) days before the date of holding
the deferred Meeting. Such a notice may be published within the notice of
the original meeting (the general Meeting that was
deferred).
|
|
2.7
|
Other

Meeting will be given by way of publishing an immediate report in the
MAGNA system only.
|
|
2.9

previously with a raise of hands or thereafter and the vote by ballot box
will prevail. In the case of joint Holders, only the vote of the more

that is one of the investors listed in the first addendum to the
Securities Law (concerning Section 15A(B)(1) of the Law) that is not
investing for itself (an "Affiliated Institutional Investor”), which will
grant voting rights in a meeting of the Debenture Holders. At the time of
holding the Meeting of the Debenture Holders, the Trustee shall check for
conflicting interests among the Debenture Holders in accordance with the
circumstances at hand and the need for calling Class Meetings in cases in

Meetings that are called, and in the Meeting of all of the Holders
Debentures, with the majority that is required by the provisions of the
Deed of Trust and the appendices thereof. At the decision of the Trustee,
a certain class of interest holders may not be invited and their consent
will not be required for the passing of a certain
resolution.
