18.2.1 | Set off any amount of the Loan that is due and payable that is as yet unpaid against any sums due from the Bank to the Borrower in any account in Israeli or foreign currency in any manner or for any reason. | |
18.2.2 | Purchase and credit to the Account, any sum in foreign currency that will be required to pay any amount of the Loan due and payable that is as yet unpaid, or sell any foreign currency standing at the Bank to his credit, and apply the proceeds of sale in payment of any amount of the Loan due and payable that is as yet unpaid. | |
18.2.3 | Debit any account of the Borrower with any sum required to pay any amount of the Loan which is due and payable that is as yet unpaid, regardless of whether such account is in credit or overdrawn (or whether it will become overdrawn as a result of such debiting of the account by the Bank), and without derogating from the rights of the Bank under clause 15 above. Save that if the state of the account does not enable the final repayment of any amount, the Bank will be entitled to refrain from debiting such account in which case it may reverse any debit and treat any sum for which the debit has been reversed as an amount unpaid on account of the Loan, and in consequence take any act it deems fit in accordance with this Agreement. |

18.2.4 | The Bank will, in any event, provide the Borrower with 10 (ten) days’ prior notice before the date of effecting the set-off, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. | |
Notwithstanding that stated in sub-clause 18.2.4 above, if the deferred execution of the set-off could jeopardize the condition of the Bank or affect any of its rights, the set-off may be effected by the Bank immediately, provided that it shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof. In addition, if, during the period of the 10 days’ notice, an attachment order or notice of receivership over the Borrower’s property arrives or any similar event occurs, the Bank may effect the set-off immediately. | ||
18.3 | The Borrower hereby declares that it is aware that in those cases where the Bank exercises all or any of such rights of set-off before the Maturity Date with respect to any deposit of the Borrower, in whole or in part, there may be adverse changes to its rights in connection with or relating to such deposits (including, without limitation, with regard to: interest rates, linkage differentials, exchange rate differentials, rights to bonuses or loans, exemption or reduced income tax and deductions at source, all to the extent that the conditions of such deposit granted it such rights). The Borrower will bear all the costs and payments for the time being customary in the Bank for the purpose of executing such act. | |
18.4 | Any purchase or sale mentioned in clause 18.2.2 above, will be made according to the customary rate of the Bank, out of sums in Israeli or foreign currency, as the case may be, which are existing at the Bank to the Borrower’s credit or which will be received from realizing any collateral that have been or will have been given to the Bank by or on behalf of the Borrower. | |
18.5 | The Bank may, at any time, debit any account of the Borrower, with any sum due from the Borrower in any manner, regardless of whether such account is in credit or overdrawn or whether it will become overdrawn as a result of such debiting of the account by the Bank, and without derogating from the rights of the Bank under clause 15 above. It is agreed by the Borrower that whenever any demand in writing is referred to it by the Bank which is not responded to by it within the period prescribed in the demand, the Bank may act as stated at the beginning of this section, and debit any account of the Borrower with the amount that was demanded. The Bank will further be entitled to credit any sum received from the Borrower or on its behalf to the credit of such account as it deems fit, and transfer any sum standing to his credit to such other account as it deems fit. | |
The Borrower’s instruction to debit the Account, set out in clause 17 above, does not affect the Bank’s right to debit any other account of the Borrower as stated in this clause 18. |
Page 50 of 59
18.6 | The Borrower confirms that the Bank’s books and accounts shall in the absence of manifest or proven error, serve as prima facie evidence against it in all their details including in reference to the calculation of the Loan components, the particulars of the bills, guarantees and other collateral and any other matter relating to this Agreement. | |
18.7 | The Borrower confirms that the Bank has notified it, according to the Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981 that all the details that will be given by it to the Bank will be used by the Bank in the normal course of its operations, at its absolute discretion. All the particulars that have been or will be given by it to the Bank will be stored according to the needs of the Bank in data banks maintained by the Bank or by those supplying to the Bank from time to time, computer, data processing and data bank services. | |
18.8 | The Bank will be entitled, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, to use such means as it deems fit in order to collect the Loan and exercise any of its rights hereunder, including by way of realizing all or any part of property that has been charged under the Securities Documents, and apply the proceeds thereof in discharge of the Loan, without being obliged to first realize guarantees or other collateral, (if any) held by the Bank. | |
18.9 | If the Bank decides to realize securities, bills or any other negotiable instrument, three days’ advance notice regarding the steps to be taken by the Bank will be regarded as reasonable notice for the purpose of section 19(b) of the Pledges Law, 5727-1967, or of any legal provision in substitution therefore. | |
18.10 | If amounts on account of the Loan are not yet due and payable or are only contingently due to the Bank, at the time that any charged or other property under the Security Documents is sold, (hereinafter: – “the above amounts”) the Bank will be entitled to collect out of the proceeds of sale, sums sufficient to cover the amounts due, and the amount collected which has not yet been appropriated to the satisfaction of the amounts mentioned in clause 18.13 above will be charged to the Bank as security for the repayment of the Loan and be retained by the Bank until they have been fully discharged. | |
19. | APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS | |
19.1. | Insufficient Payment | |
