(Reflecting First Amendment dated August 16, 2010)
|
Tower Semiconductor Ltd., an Israeli company (“the Company”), whose shares are currently traded on Nasdaq and the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”) hereby grants to BANK LEUMI LE-ISRAEL B.M. (“the Holder”), the right to purchase from the Company the number of Ordinary Shares of the Company, nominal value NIS. 1.00 (one New Israel Sheqel) (“the Ordinary Shares”) specified below, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, effective as of October 1, 2009 (“the Effective Date”).
1.
|
NUMBER OF ORDINARY SHARES AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE
|
This Warrant may be exercised to purchase 563,996 (five hundred and sixty three thousand, nine hundred and ninety six) of the Company's Ordinary Shares, with each Ordinary Share having a value calculated as set forth in Section 2 below, subject to adjustment under Section 7 of this Warrant (“the Warrant Shares”).
|
|
2.
|
EXERCISE PRICE
|
The exercise price for each Warrant Share purchasable hereunder shall be, subject to adjustment under Section 7 of this Warrant, US $0.88653 (zero point eight eight six five three) (but not less than NIS. 1.00 per share) per share (“the Warrant Price”).
|
|
2A.
|
TERM
|
This Warrant may be exercised in whole during the period beginning from the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2015 (“the Expiration Date”).
|
|
3.
|
EXERCISE OF WARRANT
|
This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part, on one or more occasions during its term. The Warrant may be exercised by the surrender of the Warrant to the Company at its principal office together with the Notice of Exercise annexed hereto duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder.
|
|
(a)
|
Exercise for Cash
|
To exercise for cash, the Notice of Exercise must be accompanied by payment in full of the amount of the aggregate purchase price of the Warrant Shares being purchased upon such exercise in immediately available funds.
|
(b)
|
Net Exercise
|
In lieu of the payment method set forth in Section 3(a) above, the Holder may elect to exchange the Warrant for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the increase in value of the Warrant Shares otherwise purchasable hereunder on the date of exchange. If the Holder elects to exchange this Warrant as provided in this Section 3(b), the Holder shall tender to the Company the Warrant along with the Notice of Exercise and the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:
where:
X
|
=
|
Y (A–B)
A
|
X
|
=
|
the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;
|
|
Y
|
=
|
the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted to the date of such calculation, but excluding those Ordinary Shares already issued under this Warrant or Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant but not being exercised);
|
|
A
|
=
|
the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of 1 (one) Ordinary Share; and
|
|
B
|
=
|
Warrant Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
|
“Fair Market Value” of an Ordinary Share shall mean:
(i)
|
if the Ordinary Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or are quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market (NASDAQ/NGS) (“NASDAQ”), then the closing or last sale price, respectively, reported on the last trading day immediately preceding the exercise date, as reported by NASDAQ or the principal national securities exchange upon which the Ordinary Shares are listed or traded; provided that, if the Ordinary Shares are listed on NASDAQ and another national securities exchange, the applicable price shall be the price reported by NASDAQ;
|
|
(ii)
|
if the Ordinary Shares are not listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on NASDAQ, but are traded in the over-the-counter market, then the mean of the closing bid and asked prices as reported on the last trading day immediately preceding the exercise date;
|
|
(iii)
|
if the Ordinary Shares are not publicly traded, then as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith.
|
|
The exchange of this Warrant as provided in this Section 3(b) may not be utilized on more than 3 (three) occasions.
|
|
(c)
|
Issuance of Shares on Exercise
|
The Company agrees that the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter, and that the Holder shall be deemed the record owner of such Warrant Shares as of and from the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall be surrendered, together with payment in full as required above. In the event of a partial exercise, the Company shall concurrently issue to the Holder a replacement Warrant on the same terms and conditions as this Warrant, but representing the number of Warrant Shares remaining after such partial exercise.
4.
|
FRACTIONAL INTEREST
|
|
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the current market price of such shares then in effect as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
|
||
5.
|
WARRANT CONFERS NO RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDER
|
|
Except as otherwise set forth in this Warrant, the Holder shall not have any rights as a shareholder of the Company with regard to the Warrant Shares prior to actual exercise resulting in the purchase of any Warrant Shares.
|
||
6.
|
INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION
|
|
Neither this Warrant nor the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant have been registered under the Securities Act, or any other securities laws. The Holder acknowledges by acceptance of the Warrant that (a) it has acquired this Warrant for investment and not with a view to distribution; (b) it has either a pre-existing personal or business relationship with the Company, or its executive officers, or by reason of its business or financial experience, it has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the transaction; and (c) it is an accredited investor as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Holder agrees that any Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be acquired for investment and not with a view to distribution and that such Warrant Shares may have to be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered or qualified under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or based on an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, an exemption from such registration and qualification is available. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, consents to the placement of legend(s) on all securities hereunder as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.
|
||
7.
|
ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES
|
|
The number and kind of securities purchasable initially upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:
|
||
(a)
|
Adjustment for Shares Splits and Combinations
|
|
If the Company at any time or from time to time effects a subdivision of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before the subdivision shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, if the Company at any time or from time to time combines the outstanding Ordinary Shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before the combination shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 7(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
|
||
(b)
|
Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions
|
|
In the event the Company at any time, or from time to time, makes or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Ordinary Shares, then and in each such event, the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of Ordinary Shares issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed thereof, the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 7(b) as of the time of the actual payment of such dividends or distribution.
|
||
(c)
|
Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions
|
|
In the event the Company at any time or from time to time makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company other than Ordinary Shares, then in each such event provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise of this Warrant, in addition to the number of Ordinary Shares receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Company that the Holder would have received had this Warrant been exercised for Ordinary Shares immediately prior to such event (or the record date for such event) and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the date of exercise, retained such securities receivable by it as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this Section and the Company’s Articles of Association with respect to the rights of the Holder.
|
||
(d)
|
Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution
|
|
If the Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant are changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of shares, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or shares dividend or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets, provided for elsewhere in this Section), then and in any such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant into the kind and amount of shares and other securities receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein and under the Company’s Articles of Association.
|
||
(e)
|
Reorganization, Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets
|
|
If at any time or from time to time there is a capital reorganization of the Ordinary Shares (other than a recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares as provided for elsewhere in this subsection), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation or sale, to which a holder of Ordinary Shares deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale. In any such case (except to the extent any cash or property is received in such transaction), appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this subsection and the Company’s Articles of Association with respect to the rights of the Holder after the reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this subsection and the Company’s Articles of Association (including adjustment of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent to the provisions hereof as may be practicable.
|
||
(f)
|
Other Transactions
|
|
In the event that the Company shall issue shares to its shareholders as a result of a split-off, spin-off or the like, then the Company shall only complete such issuance or other action if, as part thereof, allowance is made to protect the economic interest of the Holder either by increasing the number of Warrant Shares or by procuring that the Holder shall be entitled, on economically proportionate terms, to acquire additional shares of the spun-off or split-off entities.
|
||
(g)
|
Rights Offerings
|
|
If the Company, at any time and from time to time, shall fix a record date for, or shall make a distribution to, its shareholders of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security (collectively, “Rights”), then, in each such event, the Company will provide the Holder, concurrently with the distribution of the Rights to its shareholders, identical rights, having terms and conditions identical to the Rights (for the avoidance of doubt, exercisable at the same time as the Rights), in such number to which the Holder would be entitled had the Holder exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the record date for such distribution, or if no record date shall be fixed, then immediately prior to such distribution, as applicable. Nothing in this Section 7 shall require the Company to complete any such distribution of Rights to its shareholders, including following the record date thereof, unless required pursuant to the terms of such distribution and, if such distribution of Rights to its shareholders is not completed in conformity with the terms of such distribution, then the Company shall be entitled not to complete the provision of rights to the Holder pursuant to this Section 7(g) above.
|
||
(h)
|
General Protection
|
|
The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Association or other charter document or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder, or impair the economic interest of the Holder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions hereof and in taking of all such actions and making all such adjustments as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights and the economic interests of the Holder against impairment.
|
||
(i)
|
Notice of Capital Changes
|
|
If at any time the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of Ordinary Shares any additional shares of any class, other rights or any equity security of any kind, or there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital shares of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another company or there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, or other transaction described in this Section 7, then, in any one or more of the said cases, the Company shall give the Holder written notice, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, of the date on which: (i) a record shall be taken for such subscription rights; or (ii) such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up shall take place, as the case may be. Such notice shall also specify the date as of which the holders of record of Ordinary Shares shall participate in such subscription rights, or shall be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be. Such written notice shall be given at least 14 (fourteen) days prior to the action in question and not less than 14 (fourteen) days prior to the record date in respect thereto.
|
||
(j)
|
Adjustment of Warrant Price
|
|
Upon each adjustment in the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable hereunder, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased or decreased, as the case may be, in a manner that is the inverse of the manner in which the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted.
|
||
(k)
|
Notice of Adjustments
|
|
Whenever the Warrant Price or the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Company shall prepare a certificate signed by the chief financial officer of the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Warrant Price and the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder.
|

|
TRANSFER OF THIS WARRANT OR SHARES ISSUABLE ON EXERCISE HEREOF
|
|
(a)
|
With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant, the Holder will give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with, if reasonably requested by the Company, a written opinion of such Holder's counsel, to the effect that such offer, sale or other distribution may be effected without registration or qualification (under any federal or state law then in effect); provided, however, that no legal opinion shall be required if the transfer will be effected on TASE and the Holder represents to the Company that the applicable conditions under Regulation S under the Securities Act have been satisfied and applicable statutory lock-ups under the Israeli Securities Law do not apply or are being or have been satisfied or unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. If the proposed transfer is intended to rely on a Regulation D exemption under the Securities Act, such opinion letter and all such transferees must warrant and represent that they are an “accredited” investor as that term is defined under Regulation D of the Securities Act. Promptly, as practicable, upon receiving such written notice and opinion and warranties and representations, if so requested, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall deliver to the Holder one or more replacement Warrant certificates on the same terms and conditions as this Warrant for delivery to the transferees. Each Warrant thus transferred and each certificate representing the securities thus transferred shall bear legend(s) as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions. Any provision of this Warrant to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holder may not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant to any third party, other than: (i) to a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank Leumi or (ii) to any other transferee approved by the Company in writing with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
|
|
(b)
|
In the event that the Company or its shareholders receive an offer to transfer all or substantially all of the shares in the Company, or to effect a merger or acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, then the Company shall promptly inform the Holder in writing of such offer.
