4. | It is further clarified that the right of setoff, possession and/or lien of Israeli and/or foreign banks over monies, rights, securities or assets that stand to the credit of any account or which are deposited or which will be deposited in any account of the Company with such banks will not constitute a charge or a mortgage of any kind over the Company’s Assets for purposes of this letter. |
5. | In addition, any delivery, endorsement and/or assignment from time to time of bills of customers (such as—promissory notes, bills of exchange and checks) and other negotiable instruments to any third party providing credit, loans and other financial services, so that the bills and other instruments will serve such recipient as security for the debts and obligations of the Company towards him with respect to such credit, and the right of such recipient to realize therefrom the debts and obligations of the Company with respect to such credit will have priority, will not constitute a charge or a mortgage over the Company’s Assets for the purposes of this letter. |

8. | Other than as provided under this letter, all of the remaining provisions of the Financing Agreement and the loan documents will continue to apply in their full force and effect. |
9. | The Company declares and undertakes to the Bank that it has duly adopted all resolutions and received all approvals required by law and pursuant to its incorporation documents for entering into this letter, and further that it does not require the consent or approval of any third party to enter into this letter and to perform all its obligations as detailed herein, that no prohibition and/or restraint and/or limitation whatsoever, whether under law or agreement, exist for its signing this letter, and its execution hereof does not constitute a breach of and/or does not derogate from any right of a third party, including under law and/or agreement and/or any other obligation towards a third party. |
