dated August 12, 2009 (hereinafter: "THE PARTNER SHARE ACQUISITION

redemption, and the provisions as specified hereunder shall apply. The

2009-01-194286), of August 13, 2009 (reference no.: 2009-01-195681),
of August 23, 2009 (reference no.: 2009-01-204756). In this regard -
"Closing of the Partner Share Acquisition Transaction" - means a
transfer of shares representing at least 36% of Partner's issued and
paid-up share capital to the Company's ownership.
The entire immediate net proceeds (i.e., net of commissions) that the
Company shall receive in respect of the issue of the Series A Bonds
shall be deposited in an escrow account that shall be opened in one of
the five major banks in Israel, and shall not be transferred to the
Company for its use until the conditions have been fulfilled for the
Closing of the Partner Share Acquisition Transaction, as stated, in
accordance with the following mechanism:
3
6.3.1 The Trustee shall open a bank account under its name at one of
the five major banks in Israel, at its discretion, provided that
a bank as stated shall have a rating of at least (AA), to which
the issue coordinator shall transfer the total immediate net
proceeds that the Company shall receive in respect of the
issuance of the Series A Bonds, and this sum shall be invested in
shekel deposits or in shekel bonds issued by the State of Israel
or in short-term loans issued by the State of Israel, according
to the Company's instructions (hereinafter: "THE ESCROW ACCOUNT"
and "THE DEPOSIT," respectively). The Trustee shall have sole
signatory rights in the Escrow Account in relation to any
operation in this account, including with respect to the
withdrawal of monies from this account. Notwithstanding that
stated, it is clarified that the policy for investing the funds
in the Escrow Account for Series A is the sole responsibility of
the Company, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
loss or damage that might be caused as a result of investment
operations as stated that shall be carried out according to the
Company's instructions.
6.3.2 The funds, the securities being deposited in the Escrow Account,
and all of the Company's rights in the Escrow Account shall be
pledged in favor of the Trustee for the holders of the Series A
Bonds under a first-ranking fixed lien, and, concurrent with the
transfer of the Deposit to the Escrow Account, the Company shall
issue the following documents to the Trustee:
6.3.2.1 an original lien registration certificate from the
Registrar of Companies on the funds, the securities being
deposited in the Escrow Account and all rights of the
Company in the Escrow Account in favor of the Trustee; all
documents submitted to the Registrar of Companies for the
purpose of the registration of the lien, including the form
"Particulars of Mortgages and Liens," with the first page of
each document being stamped with the "received" stamp of the
Registrar of Companies; a summary of the particulars of the
Company's liens, subsequent to the registration of the lien,
which specifies the lien that was registered and every other
lien that the Company has; i.e., thus enabling the Trustee
to verify that no lien is registered with the Registrar of
Companies that contradicts the aforesaid lien. It is
clarified that the lien registration certificate as stated
shall be issued to the Trustee within 5 business days of the
signing date of the lien documents.
4
6.3.2.2 confirmation from the bank acknowledging that the funds,
the securities being deposited in the Escrow Account and all
of the Company's rights in the Escrow Account are pledged in
favor of the Trustee, and that the bank shall not have any
rights of offset or lien in relation to the funds and
securities that are being held and that shall be held in the
Escrow Account.
6.3.3 As long as the preconditions for the Closing of the Partner
Share Acquisition Transaction have not been fulfilled up until
the Deadline, the purpose of the Deposit is to guarantee the
repayment of the Principal of the Series A Bond to the
Bondholders, and this, in the event that the preconditions for
the Closing of the Partner Share Acquisition Transaction shall
not be fulfilled by the Deadline.
6.3.4 The Trustee shall operate the Deposit as follows: upon receiving
notification from the Company that all preconditions for the
Closing of the Partner Share Acquisition Transaction have been
fulfilled, then, subject to the signing of the lien document, as
specified hereunder in clause 6.3.2, the Trustee shall sign an
order to transfer the Deposit to the account specified by the
Company, inclusive of profits and after deducting tax and
expenses in respect of management of the account, the Trustee's
fee, and expenses incurred in accordance with the Trust Deed, to
the extent accumulated up until that time. To dispel any doubt,
it is clarified that, for the purpose of approving the transfer
of the Deposit to the Company, the Trustee is relying solely on
the Company's notification that all preconditions have been
fulfilled for the Closing of the Partner Share Acquisition
Transaction by the Deadline, and the Trustee is not required to
verify whether the preconditions indeed had actually been
fulfilled. The Trustee shall be present at the time of the
Closing of the Partner Share Acquisition Transaction in order to
enable the performance of its operations in conformity with this
Trust Deed at that time. The Company shall notify the Trustee
three business days in advance of the expected transfer date of
the funds.

bear shall increase at the rate of 0.3% in respect of each rating step
that is lower than an (A-) or A3 rating (hereinafter: "THE AMENDED
INTEREST RATE"), this, as of the issue date of the Bonds. For example:
if the rating of the Series A Bonds shall be BBB+, then the annual
interest rate that Series A Bonds shall bear shall increase at the
rate of 0.3%. If the rating shall be lower by an additional step, then
the interest rate shall increase at the rate of 0.6%, and so forth.
The Company shall transfer an updated payment schedule to the Trustee
with the change in the interest rate in the event of a Decline.
It is clarified that a rise in the interest rate as a result of a
Decline in rating as stated, shall be effected one time only during
the entire term of the Bonds; i.e., any decline in the rating after
the Decline shall not cause another change in the interest rate.

rating assigned to the Bonds, and if the rating shall be lower than
(A-) or A3, then the Amended Interest Rate that shall be paid to the

PAYMENT"). As of the payment of the first interest after the
Subsequent Interest Payment, and thereafter, the interest rate shall
return to the Amended Interest Rate.
27
3.8 It is clarified that the Subsequent Interest Payment shall be paid to
the registered holder of the Bonds on the determinant date that is
prior to the Subsequent Interest Payment.
3.9 The Series 1 Bonds shall not be secured by any collateral and/or lien,

the Shelf Offering Report.
3.11 Other than the updating of the concrete conditions of the Series A
Bonds and the amendments and additions as stated above, no change
occurred whatsoever in the rest of the conditions of the First Trust
Deed, and the First Trust Deed and the provisions thereof shall
continue to apply between the parties in relation to the Series A
Bonds.
3.12 It should be noted that the update of the Trust Deed as specified in
this Deed shall apply solely in relation to the Series 1 Bonds; this
Deed in no way applies the conditions specified herein to other series
of the Bonds that the Company may offer pursuant to the Shelf
Prospectus.

authorized signatories of the Company to report on its behalf in the

whereof applications for Voluntary Redemption of Series 1

withholding tax at source.
38
4.2.4.3 this clause was a duplicate of 4.2.4.2 - I assumed you
meant the following text (from the Trust Deed) No later than
the second trading day after the day on which the TASE
Clearing House delivered a notification to the Nominee
Company of Israel Discount Bank Ltd. as specified above in
subclause 4.2.4.2, the Nominee Company of Israel Discount
Banks Ltd. shall deliver a notification to the Company,
which shall specify the inclusive par value of the Series 1
Bonds in respect whereof Voluntary Redemption Notices for
Series 1 were submitted, attaching the certificates of
exemption from withholding tax at source.
On the Voluntary Redemption Date of Series 1, the Company
shall redeem the Series 1 Bonds in respect whereof Voluntary
Redemption Notices were submitted, in such manner that the
holder of the said Series 1 Bonds shall be entitled to
receive from the Company the sum of NIS 1 in respect of each
NIS 1 of Bonds that shall be redeemed by the Company on the
said date, with the addition of the accrued and as yet
unpaid interest.
A Voluntary Redemption Notice of Series 1 submitted to the
Company or to the TASE members cannot be cancelled or
changed.

4.2.5 The sum of the Voluntary Redemption of Series 1 shall be paid to
the Bondholders by the Trustee, by way of the execution of a bank

transfer of the funds, the destination thereof, as well as any
other particular that shall be required in order to enable the
Trustee to carry out the transfer, attaching a calculation of the

the event that the balance of the funds in the Escrow Account
shall be less than the Obligatory Value of the Bonds, the Company
shall transfer to the Escrow Account the sum equivalent to the
difference between the Obligatory Value of the Bonds and the
funds in the Escrow Account at that time that the Trustee is
required to transfer as stated above in this subclause. The
Trustee and the Company shall transfer the funds required for the
purpose of the Voluntary Redemption of Series 1 to the Nominee
Company of Israel Discount Bank Ltd. in conformity with the
bylaws of the TASE Clearing House. The Company shall provide any
assistance to the Trustee that might be required in order to

sums, the dates and any other detail that is required in order to
effect the Voluntary Redemption of Series 1 as stated.

If the Company shall not publish an Immediate Report regarding the

44
4.5 The total immediate net consideration (i.e., net of commissions) that
the Company shall receive in respect of the issuance of the Series A
Bonds shall be deposited in an escrow account, which shall be opened
in one of the five major banks in Israel and shall not be transferred
to the Company for its use until the conditions for the Closing of the
Partner Share Acquisition Transaction as stated have been fulfilled,
according to the following mechanism:
4.5.1 The Trustee shall open a bank account under its name at one of
the five major banks in Israel, at its discretion, provided that
a bank as stated shall have a rating of at least (AA), to which
the issue coordinator shall transfer the total immediate net
proceeds that the Company shall receive in respect of the
issuance of the Series A Bonds, and this sum shall be invested in
shekel deposits or in shekel bonds issued by the State of Israel
or in short-term loans issued by the State of Israel, according
to the Company's instructions (hereinafter: "THE ESCROW ACCOUNT"
and "THE DEPOSIT," respectively). The Trustee shall have sole
signatory rights in the Escrow Account in relation to any
operation in this account, including with respect to the
withdrawal of monies from this account. Notwithstanding that
stated, it is clarified that the policy for investing the funds
in the Escrow Account for Series A is the sole responsibility of
the Company, and the Trustee for Series A shall not be
responsible for any loss or damage that might be caused as a
result of investment operations as stated that shall be carried
out according to the Company's instructions.
45
4.5.2 The funds, securities being deposited in the Escrow Account, and
all of the Company's rights in the Escrow Account shall be
pledged in favor of the Trustee for the Holders of the Series A
Bonds under a first-ranking fixed lien, and, concurrent with the
transfer of the Deposit to the Escrow Account, the Company shall
issue the following documents to the Trustee:
4.5.2.1 an original lien registration certificate from the
Registrar of Companies on the funds, the securities being
deposited in the Escrow Account and all rights of the
Company in the Escrow Account in favor of the Trustee; all
documents submitted to the Registrar of Companies for the
purpose of registration of the lien, including the form
"Particulars of Mortgages and Liens," with the first page of
each document being stamped with the "received" stamp of the
Registrar of Companies; a summary of the particulars of the
Company's liens, subsequent to the registration of the lien,
which specifies the lien that was registered and every other
lien that the Company has; i.e., thus enabling the Trustee
to verify that no lien is registered with the Registrar of
Companies that contradicts the aforesaid lien. It is
clarified that the lien registration certificate as stated
shall be issued to the Trustee within 5 Business Days of the
signing date of the lien documents.
46
4.5.2.2 Confirmation from the bank acknowledging that the funds,
the securities being deposited in the Escrow Account and all
of the Company's rights in the Escrow Account are pledged in
favor of the Trustee, and that the bank shall not have any
rights of offset or lien in relation to the funds and
securities that are being held and that shall be held in the
Escrow Account.
4.5.3 As long as the preconditions for the Closing of the Partner
Share Acquisition Transaction have not been fulfilled up until
the Deadline, the purpose of the Deposit is to guarantee the
repayment of the Principal of the Series A Bond to the
Bondholders, and this, in the event that the preconditions for
the Closing of the Partner Share Acquisition Transaction shall
not be fulfilled by the Deadline.
4.5.4 The Trustee shall operate the Deposit as follows: upon receiving
notification from the Company that all preconditions for the
Closing of the Partner Share Acquisition Transaction have been
fulfilled, then, subject to the signing of the lien document, as
specified hereunder in clause 3.5, the Trustee shall sign the
order to transfer the Deposit to the account specified by the
Company, inclusive of profits and after deducting tax and
expenses in respect of account management, the Trustee's fee, and
expenses incurred in accordance with the Trust Deed, to the
extent accumulated up until that time. To dispel any doubt, it is
clarified that, for the purpose of approving the transfer of the
Deposit to the Company, the Trustee is relying solely on the
Company's notification that all preconditions have been fulfilled
for the Closing of the Partner Share Acquisition Transaction by
the Deadline, and the Trustee is not required to verify whether
the preconditions indeed had actually been fulfilled. The Trustee
shall be present at the time of the Closing of the Partner Share
Acquisition Transaction in order to enable the performance of its
operations in conformity with the Trust Deed at that time. The
Company shall notify the Trustee three Business Days in advance
of the expected transfer date of the funds.
47
4.6 If all of the preconditions stated above in clause 4.3 shall be
fulfilled regarding the release of all of the funds from the Escrow
Account in respect of the Series A Bonds, and in the event of a
Voluntary Redemption as stated above in clause 4.4, in which only a
portion of the bonds has been redeemed, and a balance remains in the
Escrow Account, the Holders of the bonds are hereby instructing the
Trustee, by way of an irrevocable instruction, to transfer the entire
balance of funds of the Deposit to the Company, and for this purpose,
to sign all documents required for the removal of the lien on the
Escrow Account and for the transfer of the funds of the Deposit to the
Company. Shortly after the transfer of the funds as stated, the
Trustee shall take action to close the Escrow Account.
4.7 To dispel any doubt, it is hereby clarified that the Trustee is under
no obligation to examine, and in fact, the Trustee did not examine,
the economic value of the collateral that was provided and/or that
shall be provided (if any) to guarantee the payments to the Holders of
the Series A Bonds. Upon engaging in the Trust Deed and consenting to
serve as the Trustee for the Holders of the Series A Bonds, the
Trustee is not expressing its opinion, whether explicitly or implied,
regarding the economic value of the collateral that was provided
and/or shall be provided (if any) by the Company. Furthermore, the
Trustee is not expressing its opinion regarding the Company's ability
to fulfill its undertakings towards the Holders of the Series A Bonds.
That stated shall in no way derogate from the Trustee's obligations by
law and/or pursuant to the Trust Deed, and shall in no way derogate
from the Trustee's duty (to the extent that such duty applies to the
Trustee pursuant to any law) to examine the impact of changes in the
Company as of the date of this Shelf Offering Report and thereafter,
to the extent that any such changes might adversely affect the
Company's ability to fulfill its undertakings towards the Holders of
the Series A Bonds. That stated shall in no way derogate from the
Trustee's obligations by law and/or pursuant to the Trust Deed.
48
5. ABSENCE OF LINKAGE BASES ON THE BOND PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
The Principal and Interest on the bonds are not linked to the consumer
price index or to any other index or currency.
6. THE INTEREST ON THE SERIES A BONDS
6.1 The registered Series 1 Bonds of NIS 1 par value each, bear fixed
annual interest at the rate of 4%.
6.2 The interest shall be paid in biannual payments, on the balance of the
outstanding Principal, on March 31 and on September 30 of each of the
years 2010 through 2024, in respect of the six-month period ending on
the last day prior to every payment date. The first interest payment
on the Series A Bonds shall be paid on June 30, 2010 for the period as
of the day after the tender date pursuant to the Shelf Offering Report
and ending on June 29, 2010, with the interest being calculated on the
basis of 365 days per year, according to the number of days in the
said period. The subsequent interest payments shall be calculated
according to the annual interest rate divided by the number of
interest payments per year.
The Company shall publish the interest rate that shall be paid in the
first interest payment in the Immediate Report of the Results of the
Issue pursuant to the Shelf Offering Report.
49
6.3 The determinant date regarding the payment of interest to the owner of
the Series A Bonds will be at the end of June 18 and December 19 of
each year, as the case may be, just prior to the date of the interest
payment.
6.4 The interest on the Principal of the Bonds of the Relevant Series
shall be calculated as of the first day of the first interest period.
On that day, the Company shall file an Immediate Report specifying the
interest rate that shall be paid in respect of the first interest
period, being calculated as stated above.
6.5 The last payment of interest on the Principal of the Bonds of the
Relevant Series shall be paid, together with the last payment on
account of the Principal on the Bonds of the same series, this against
the delivery of the Bond Certificates of that series to the Company.
If, by March 31, 2010, the Series A Bonds shall be rated for the first
time at a rating that is lower than (A-) or A3 (hereinafter: "THE
DECLINE"), then the annual interest rate that the Series A Bonds shall
bear shall increase at the rate of 0.3% in respect of each rating step
that is lower than an (A-) or A3 rating (hereinafter: "THE AMENDED
INTEREST RATE"), this as of the issue date of the Bonds. For example:
if the rating of the Series A Bonds shall be BBB+, then the annual
interest rate that Series A Bonds shall bear shall increase at the
rate of 0.3%. If the rating shall be lower by an additional step, then
the interest rate shall increase at the rate of 0.6%, and so forth.
The Company shall transfer an updated payment schedule to the Trustee
with the change in the interest rate in the event of a Decline.
It is clarified that a rise in the interest rate as a result of a
Decline in rating as stated, shall be effected one time only during
the entire term of the Bonds; i.e., any decline in the rating after
the Decline shall not cause another change in the interest rate.
50
6.6 The Company shall publish an Immediate Report regarding the initial
rating assigned to the Bonds, and if the rating shall be lower than
(A-) or A3, then the Amended Interest Rate that shall be paid to the
Holders of the Series A Bonds shall also be specified in the Immediate
Report. If the announcement of the change in the rating of the Series
A Bonds shall be published less than four (4) trading days prior to
the determinant date for the interest payment (hereinafter: "THE NEXT
INTEREST PAYMENT"), the payment of the additional interest resulting
from the Decline shall be postponed, and shall be paid on the date of
the subsequent interest payment (hereinafter: "THE SUBSEQUENT INTEREST
PAYMENT"). As of the payment of the first interest after the payment
of the Subsequent Interest Payment, and thereafter, the interest rate
shall return to the Amended Interest Rate.
7. THE PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST OF THE BONDS
7.1 The payments on account of the interest and/or the Principal of the
Bonds of the Relevant Series, which shall be offered pursuant to the
Shelf Prospectus, shall be paid to the persons whose names shall be
registered in the Register for that same series on the dates as shall
be specified in the Initial Offering Report of that series, in
conformity with the provisions of the TASE regulations as they shall
be at that time ("THE DETERMINANT DATE IN THE RELEVANT SERIES"),
except for the last payment of the Principal and interest, which shall
be rendered against the delivery of the Bond Certificates of that
series to the Company at the Company's registered office, or at any
other location that the Company shall so instruct, no later than five
(5) Business Days prior to the final payment date.
It is hereby clarified that any party that is not registered in the
Register for the Relevant Series on the Determinant Date in the
Relevant Series shall not be entitled to a payment of interest in
respect of the interest period that began prior to that date.
7.2 In any instance whereby the payment due date on account of Principal
and/or interest shall fall on a day other than a Business Day, the
payment date shall be postponed until the first subsequent Business
Day, without any additional payment, and "the Determinant Date" for
the purpose of determining entitlement to redemption or to interest
shall not change as a result.
51
7.3 Any payment on account of Principal and/or interest, which shall be
paid in arrears that exceeds seven (7) Business Days after the payment
due date according to the Bond conditions as stated, for reasons
depending upon the Company, shall bear arrears interest (as this term
is defined hereunder) as of the payment due date until the actual
payment date. To the extent that there are a number of arrears in
payments as stated, the total number of days in arrears (cumulatively)
during the period that the Bond Series is in circulation, in respect
whereof the Company shall not pay arrears interest, shall not exceed
21 Business Days.
7.4 In this regard, the rate of the arrears interest means the maximum
interest rate that shall be in effect at that time at Bank Leumi
Le-Israel Ltd. in respect of debit balances in current loan accounts
or in current accounts in Israeli currency having no credit framework
in effect, whichever is higher, which shall be calculated according to
the number of days of the actual delay. In the event of arrears in
payment as state above, the Company shall announce the interest rate,
including the arrears interest as stated, in an Immediate Report two
(2) trading days prior to the actual payment date.
7.5 The payment to those entitled shall be rendered by way of checks or
bank transfer to the credit of the bank account of those persons whose
names shall be listed in the Register for the Relevant Series, and
which shall be specified in particulars to be timely delivered in
writing to the Company, according to that stated in clause 5.6
hereunder. If the Company shall be unable to pay any sum to those
entitled thereto, for a reason not dependent upon the Company, the
provisions of clause 12 of the Trust Deed shall apply.
7.6 A Holder of the Bonds of the Relevant Series shall notify the Company
of the bank account details for crediting payments to that Holder
according to the Bonds of that Series as stated above, or about any
change in the said account details or in its address, as the case may
be, by written notice sent by registered mail to the Company. The
Company shall be required to act according to the Holder's notice
regarding a change as stated, once fifteen (15) Business Days have
elapsed since the arrival of the Holder's notice to the Company.
52
7.7 If a Bondholder entitled to a payment as stated did not deliver
details about its bank account in timely fashion to the Company, any
payment on account of the Principal and the interest shall be rendered
by check, which shall be sent by registered mail to its last address
registered in the Register for the Relevant Series. The mailing of a
check to an entitled Bondholder by registered mail as stated shall be
deemed, for all intents and purposes, to be payment of the sum quoted
therein on the date of its dispatch at the post office, provided that,
upon proper presentation for collection, it shall be paid.
7.8 Any compulsory payment, to the extent required by law shall be
deducted from any payment in respect of the Bonds of the Relevant
Series.
8. SURETY
The Series 1 Bonds shall not be secured by any collateral and/or lien, with
the exception of that described above in clause 4.5.
9. CONVERSION RIGHT OF THE SERIES 1 BONDS ("THE CONVERTIBLE BONDS")
9.1 THE CONVERSION TERMS
9.1.1 On any trading day as of the date that each of the series of
Convertible Bonds are registered for the first time for trading
on the TASE and until a number of days prior to the end of the
period of the Bonds of that series, in accordance with the TASE
directives as they shall be on the date of the Initial Offering
Report of that series, and as shall be specified in the said
Offering Report ("THE CONVERSION PERIOD," and any trading day as
stated shall be called hereinafter: "THE CONVERSION DAY," and the
last day of the Conversion Period shall be called hereinafter:
"THE EXPIRATION OF THE CONVERSION PERIOD"), with the exception of
a number of days prior to the determinant date for a partial
redemption, in accordance with the TASE regulations and
directives as they shall be on the date of the said Offering
Report and until the execution date of the partial redemption,
the balance of the Principal of the Convertible Bonds of that
series that are in circulation at that time shall be convertible
into registered fully-paid up ordinary shares of NIS 0.12 par
value each of the Company ("THE CONVERTED SHARES") according to a
conversion rate that shall not diminish from the par value of
ordinary shares of the Company on the date of the said Offering
Report ("THE CONVERSION RATE"), subject to adjustments as
specified hereunder, and in the manner and under the conditions
as shall be specified in the said Offering Report.
53
9.1.2 Any holder of the Convertible Bonds of any series desiring to
convert the balance of the par value of the Principal of the
Convertible Bonds of that series that it is holding into
Converted Shares ("THE CONVERTER") shall submit a written
application, on a form to the determined by the Company, either
directly to the Company at its registered office (in the instance
whereby those Bonds are registered under the Converter's name in
the register of that series), or through the TASE member (in the
instance whereby those Bonds are being held by the Converter
through that TASE member) on the Conversion Days, and, in any
event, until the Expiration of the Conversion Period relative to
that series, and attaching the Certificates of the Convertible
Bonds relating to the application ("THE CONVERSION NOTICE").
9.1.3 The conversion of the balance of the par value of the Principal
of a number of Convertible Bonds from the same series that are
registered under the name of the same Holder may be applied for
in a single Conversion Notice, and, in such instance, all of the
Certificates of the Convertible Bonds relating to that Conversion
Notice must be attached thereto.
54
9.1.4 In the event of conversion of the Convertible Bonds into shares
in accordance with this clause in relation to only a portion of
the total par value of the Convertible Bonds registered in a
single Bond Certificate, the Convertible Bond Certificates must
first be split into the number of Bond Certificates necessary for
that purpose so that the total of the sums of the par value of
the Bonds registered therein shall be equal to the total par
value of the Bond Certificate that shall be split as stated.
9.1.5 The Conversion Notice forms may be obtained at the registered
office of the Company and at any other location that the Company
shall so notify.
9.1.6 The Converter shall sign any document at any time that shall be
required by law and according to the Company's instructions for
the purpose of the allotment of the Converted Shares. The
conversion date shall be deemed the day on which the Company
receives a Conversion Notice directly from the Converter (in
respect of Bonds directly held) or the day on which the TASE
Clearing House receives a notice from the TASE member of
conversion of the Convertible Bonds (in respect of Bonds held
through the Nominee Company), which fulfills all conditions
specified above, as the case may be ("THE CONVERSION DATE").
9.1.7 If the Converter does not fulfill all conditions for conversion
of the Convertible Bonds in their entirety, the Conversion Notice
shall be deemed null and void, and the Certificates of the
Convertible Bonds that were attached to that Conversion Notice
shall be returned to the applicant.
9.1.8 A Conversion Notice submitted to the Company cannot be cancelled
or changed.
55
9.1.9 The Converter shall not be entitled to allot a portion of one
Converted Share; however, all fractions of Converted Shares that
shall be created at the time of conversion, if any, shall be sold
on the TASE by a trustee to be appointed for this purpose by the
Company, within thirty (30) days after these fractions
accumulated into whole shares at an acceptable quantity for sale
on the TASE, considering the costs involved therein, and the net
proceeds from the sale thereof shall be divided among those
entitled accordingly, within fifteen (15) days of the date of the
sale. A check shall not be sent to a single entitled Converter as
stated for a sum that is less than NIS 50; such sum may be
collected from the Company's offices during regular workdays and
office hours. An entitled Converter as stated, who shall not come
to the Company's offices to collect such sum within twelve (12)
months of the date of the sale, shall lose its right to this sum.
9.1.10 Converted Shares shall vest the owners thereof with all rights
to participate in all dividends and other distributions, with the
date that determines the right to receive them being the
Conversion Date or thereafter; Converted Shares shall have equal
rights, in all aspects, to the ordinary shares of NIS 0.12 par
value existing in the Company's share capital at that time.
9.1.11 The Convertible Bonds that were converted shall be removed from
circulation on their Conversion Date and shall be completely
nullified, retroactively to the Conversion Date, as of the
allotment date of the Converted Shares in respect thereof, and
shall not vest any right to any interest whatsoever after the
last interest payment date, when the determinant date in respect
thereof falls prior to the Conversion Date.
9.1.12 Any portion of the Convertible Bonds from any series that shall

9.3 PROVISIONS PROTECTING HOLDERS OF CONVERTIBLE BONDS DURING THE
CONVERSION PERIOD
9.3.1 DISTRIBUTION OF BONUS SHARES
If the Company shall distribute bonus shares after the date of
the Initial Offering Report of any series of the Convertible
Bonds and until the Expiration of the Conversion Period relative
to that series, the rights of the holders of the Convertible
Bonds of that series shall be preserved, in the manner specified
hereunder:
9.3.1.1 Subsequent to the date determining the entitlement to
participate in the said distribution, the number of
Converted Shares to which a holder of the Convertible Bonds
of that series shall be entitled upon the conversion thereof
shall increase, by adding the number of shares to which the
said holder would have been entitled as bonus shares had he
converted its Convertible Bonds immediately prior to the
said determinant date.
57
9.3.1.2 A holder of the Convertible Bonds shall not be entitled
to allot a portion of a bonus share according to that stated
above; however, all fractions of bonus shares that shall be
created at the time of the allotment and that shall
accumulate into whole shares shall be sold on the TASE by a
trustee to be appointed for this purpose by the Company,
within thirty (30) days of the said allotment date, and the
net proceeds (after deducing selling expenses and compulsory
payments and levies) shall be divided among those entitled
within fifteen (15) days of the date of the sale. A check
shall not be sent to a single entitled holder for a sum that
is less than NIS 50; such sum may be collected from the
Company's offices during regular workdays and office hours.
An entitled holder as stated, who shall not come to the
Company's offices to collect such sum within twelve (12)
months of the date of the sale, shall lose its right to this
sum.
9.3.1.3 Subject to that stated in the TASE regulations and
directives, the adjustment method may not be amended.
9.3.2 RIGHTS ISSUE
If, as of the date of the Initial Offering Report of any series
of the Convertible bonds and up until the Expiration of the
Conversion Period relative to that series, the Company shall
offer securities of any class by way of a rights issue to its
shareholders, the number of Converted Shares in respect of a
conversion of the Convertible Bonds of that series that have not
yet been converted into ordinary shares of the Company shall be
adjusted on the date determining the right to purchase the
securities to be offered during the rights issue, according to
the bonus component in the rights, as expressed in the ratio
between the Company's share rate on the TASE on the said
determinant date and the base rate "ex rights." Subject to that
stated in the TASE regulations and directives, the adjustment
method as specified above may not be amended.
58
9.3.3 ADJUSTMENT IN RESPECT OF A DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION
If the Company shall distribute a dividend, as this term is
defined in the Companies Act ("THE DISTRIBUTION"), when the date
determining the entitlement thereto ("THE DETERMINANT DATE FOR
THE DISTRIBUTION") shall fall prior to the Expiration of the
Conversion Period, one of the provisions specified in subclauses
9.3.3.1 through 9.3.3.3 hereunder shall apply, all as shall be
specified by the Company in the Initial Offering Report of the
Relevant Series. The Company shall publish in a detailed manner
in the said Offering Report the adjustment method of the
Conversion Rate and/or the Conversion Ratio due to a
Distribution, if any, according to its choice of one of the
following alternatives:
9.3.3.1 The Conversion Rate and/or the Conversion Ratio shall not
be adjusted due to a Distribution by the Company.
9.3.3.2 As of the first day of trading of the Company's shares
after the Determinant Date for the Distribution (ex
dividend), the Conversion Rate of the Convertible Bonds of
the Relevant Series shall be equal to the previous
Conversion Rate as it shall be on the Determinant Date for
the Distribution, less the net sum of the Distribution in
respect of each Converted Share, but at a Conversion Rate
not less than the par value of the Company's shares at that
time (hereinafter: "THE ADJUSTED CONVERSION PRICE").
"THE NET SUM OF THE DISTRIBUTION PER SHARE" in this regard
is the sum of the Distribution by the Company in respect of
each share, after the Company deducts the income tax from
individual residents of Israel who are not Material
Shareholders, as this term is defined in section 88 of the
Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 5721 - 1961, in
conformance with the law.
59
9.3.3.3 As of the first day of trading of the Company's shares
after the Determinant Date for the Distribution (ex
dividend), the Conversion Ratio of the Convertible Bonds in
circulation shall be adjusted by multiplying it by the ratio
between the rate of the Company's share on the TASE, as
shall be set by the TASE as the adjusted rate for the
Distribution (ex-dividend rate) and the closing rate set on
the TASE for the Company's share on the Determinant Date for
the Distribution. The Company shall announce the Adjusted
Conversion Ratio, as stated, in an Immediate Report no later
than the day on which the Company's shares shall be traded
"ex dividend."
9.4 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS PROTECTING THE HOLDERS OF THE CONVERTIBLE BONDS
DURING THE CONVERSION PERIOD
The following provisions shall apply as of the publication date of the
Offering Report relating to any series of the Convertible Bonds, and
for as long as all of the Convertible Bonds of that series have not
been converted, but, in any event, not after the Expiration of the
Conversion Period relative to that series:
9.4.1 The Company shall retain a sufficient quantity of ordinary
shares of NIS 0.12 par value each in its registered share capital
to guarantee the allotment of all shares that are likely to
derive from the conversion of all of the Convertible Bonds of
that series that are in circulation from time to time, and, if
necessary, shall cause the Company to increase its registered
share capital accordingly.
9.4.2 If the Company shall consolidate the ordinary shares of NIS 0.12
par value each in its issued share capital into shares of a
higher par value, or shall subdivide them into shares of a lesser
par value, then subsequent to such an action, the number of
Converted Shares that shall be allotted due to a conversion of
the Convertible Bonds of that series shall be decreased or
increased, as the case may be. In such instance, that stated
above in clause 9.1.9 shall apply, MUTATIS MUTANDIS.
60
9.4.3 Holders of the Convertible Bonds of that series may peruse a
copy of the Company's periodic reports and interim financial
statements at the Company's registered office during regular
office hours. At the written request of a holder of the
Convertible Bonds of that series, the Company shall mail a copy
of the aforesaid reports and statements to the bondholder.
9.4.4 Within ten (10) days of each adjustment of the Conversion Rate
or of the number of Converted Shares relative to that series of
Convertible Bonds, the Company shall publish an announcement in
two (2) widely-circulated daily newspapers published in Israel in
the Hebrew language regarding the right of the holders of the
Convertible Bonds of that series to convert them into shares, and
specifying the Conversion Period, the Conversion Rate and the
number of Converted Shares to which a holder of the Convertible
Bonds shall be entitled in respect of a conversion at that time -
all relative to the said series.

publish a notification in two (2) widely-circulated daily
newspapers published in Israel in the Hebrew language and shall
send a written notification to the bondholders registered in the
register for that series regarding the deadline for converting
the Convertible Bonds of that series, with a copy to the TASE and
to the Trustee of that series, no later than three (3) weeks and
no earlier than four (4) weeks prior to the Expiration of the
Conversion Period relative to that series. Such notification
shall specify the Conversion Rate, the number of Converted Shares
and the number of bonus shares to which a holder of the
Convertible Bonds shall be entitled at the time of conversion
within this timeframe - all relative to the said series.
9.4.6 The Company shall not distribute and shall not offer a dividend
in cash or bonus shares or an offer of rights to securities of
any class to the holders of the ordinary shares of NIS 0.12 par
value each, unless the determinant date relative to the right to
receive them shall be at least ten (10) trading days after the
publication of the Company's notification regarding the
Distribution or the offer of rights, as the case may be.
61
9.4.7 The Company shall refrain from any action, including a
Distribution of bonus shares, which is liable to lead to a
reduction of the Converted Share price under its par value.
9.4.8 In accordance with the TASE regulations and directives, as they
are on the date of the Trust Deed, the conditions of the
Convertible Bonds may not be amended in relation to any matter
pertaining to the Conversion Rate and the Conversion Days, but
the Company shall be allowed to amend the Conversion Period
and/or the Conversion Rate provided that it is being effected
within the scope of an arrangement or compromise ratified by a
court, in conformity with section 350 of the Companies Act.
Furthermore, in accordance with the said TASE regulations and
directives, the Company may amend the Conversion Rate within the
scope of a splitting proceeding of the Company or a merger
proceeding of the Company, provided that the amendment shall
solely include those adjustments required due to the said
proceeding.
In accordance with the said TASE regulations and directives, a
"splitting proceeding" in this context means - a proceeding
during which the Company shall transfer shares that it is holding
in another company to its shareholders, or a proceeding during
which the Company shall transfer assets and liabilities to a new
company founded for the purpose of the split, and the
shareholders of the new company shall also be the shareholders of
the company transferring the assets and liabilities, all provided
that the splitting proceeding is effected under equal conditions
for the shareholders of the Company. In accordance with the said
TASE regulations and directives, a "merger proceeding" in this
context means - a proceeding during which all of the Company's
shares shall be transferred to the ownership of a new company or
to the ownership of another registered company whose shares are
registered for trading on the TASE, or a proceeding during which
the Company shall transfer all of its assets and liabilities to
another company as stated, all provided that the securities of
the Company whose shares or assets shall be transferred as stated
shall be deregistered from trading on the TASE and the proceeding
shall be effected under equal conditions for the shareholders of
the Company.
62
Notwithstanding that stated above, in accordance with the said
TASE regulations and directives, the Company may amend the
Conversion Rate, provided that it is done within the scope of an
offering proceeding by way of rights in the Company or within the
scope of a proceeding of a Distribution of bonus shares in the
Company or within the scope of a proceeding of a Distribution of
a dividend in the Company and the amendment includes only those
adjustments required due to the said proceeding.
9.5 VOLUNTARY LIQUIDATION
9.5.1 In the event that a resolution is passed to voluntarily
liquidate the Company, the Company shall issue written notice
thereof to all holders of the Convertible Bonds in circulation at
that time, which are registered in the register for the Relevant
Series of Convertible Bonds, and shall publish an announcement in
that regard in two (2) widely-circulated daily newspapers
published in Israel in the Hebrew language. Every holder of the
Convertible Bonds shall be entitled, at its discretion, to be
deemed as if it exercised its conversion right in respect thereof
prior to the passing of the resolution, this if the bondholder
shall notify the Company in writing of this desire within three
(3) months of the date of the Company's said notice.
63
9.5.2 In such instance, a holder of the Convertible Bonds shall be
entitled to participate in the distribution of the Company's
surplus assets upon liquidation (after the clearance of all of
its debts) among its shareholders, this at the sum that the
bondholder would have received upon liquidation of the Company
had it been a shareholder of the Company prior to the passing of
the liquidation resolution, due to the conversion of the
Convertible Bonds in its possession, in respect whereof it issued
a notice as stated to the Company, after deducting the sums of
interest paid in respect of those Convertible Bonds on the date
of the resolution or subsequently (excluding interest whose
payment due date falls prior to the date of the resolution, even
if paid on or after the resolution date); and the holder of the
Convertible Bonds shall not be entitled to any payment on account
thereof if the payment due date occurs after the resolution date.

Bond Certificate, the Bond Certificates must be split, pursuant to the
provisions of clause 14 hereunder, first into the number of Bond
Certificates so required, in such manner that the total sums of the par
value registered therein shall be equal to the sum of the par value of the
Bonds registered in the said Bond Certificate. After the fulfillment of all
these conditions, the transfer shall be recorded in the Register for the
Relevant Series, and the Company shall be allowed to demand that a note
regarding the transfer as stated shall be recorded on the Certificate of
the Bonds being transferred, which shall be delivered to the transferee, or
that a new Bond Certificate shall be issued to the transferee, and all of

Shekels (the Certificates referred to in this clause shall be called
hereinafter: "THE CERTIFICATES").
All of the Bond Certificates may be split into Bond Certificates with the
total par value of the Bonds registered therein being equal to the total
