For sake of cautious, at the Closing Borrower shall create in favor of an exclusive fixed ranking fixed pledge and assignment by way of pledge, without limitation in amount, over any and all rights Borrower has (if any at all) in relation to the Cushion Deposit, under the Accounts Pledge Debenture (the “Cushion Deposit Pledge”).
2.4.3. | On the Expansion Loan Disbursement Date, if applicable in accordance with and subject to the provisions hereof, Lender shall extend in the Borrower Bank Account the Expansion Loan amount less an amount of US$80,000 (the “Additional Cushion Deposit Amount”), which shall be deposited in the Cushion Deposit and shall also be subject to the Cushion Deposit Pledge. The foregoing shall constitute extension of the entire Expansion Loan to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof. |
2.5. | Loan Term. The term of each Loan shall commence on the relevant Installment Date and terminate upon repayment by the Company of the Primary Loan Amount or Expansion Loan Amount, as applicable (each , a “Loan Amount”), and all amounts accrued thereon in full, in accordance with the provisions contained herein, but in no event later than the Final Maturity Date. |

2.6.4. | Attached as Exhibit 2.6.4 hereto is a valid approval of exemption from tax withholding obtained by the Lender which is currently in effect (a “WH Exemption”). Borrower hereby confirms that the attached WH Exemption is sufficient such that all Interest (including Arrears Interest, Step-Up Interest and Make Whole Interest) payments and any other payments due hereunder to Lender (including the Closing Fee, Management Fee and Non-Utilization Fee) (collectively, “Due Payments”) shall be made to Lender free and clear of any taxes, levies, withholdings, duties, impositions or other charges (“Taxes”). Upon expiry of a WH Exemption Lender shall provide Borrower with a new valid WH Exemption. Until such new valid WH Exemption is provided to Borrower, Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding of Tax from any Due Payments made and shall timely pay the full amount so deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority, all in accordance with applicable law. By the end of each calendar year, at Xxxxxx’s request, Borrower shall provide Lender with confirmation of all taxes so withheld any paid thereby to the tax authorities during such year, if any.

Step-Up Interest shall accrue as of the date on which such a Default has occurred for the first time until satisfaction of all of the following: (i) such Default is fully cured (if a cure period exists under the provisions contained herein, or otherwise granted by Xxxxxx (in its sole discretion) in relation to such event), and (ii) no other Default exists. Step-Up Interest shall be compounded on a daily basis. |
2.7.2. | Any amount payable under the Transaction Agreements (whether on account of principal, interest (including Step-Up Interest) or any other amounts accrued thereon or due in connection therewith), which is not timely paid to Lender in full in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Agreements (a “Delayed Payment”), shall bear arrears interest (on top of the Interest) at an annual rate of four and a half percent (4.5%) (the “Arrears Interest”). Arrears Interest shall accrue as of the date on which such Delayed Payment has become due and payable until satisfaction of all of the following: (i) such Delayed Payment is fully paid to Lender, and (ii) no other Default exists. Arrears Interest shall be compounded on a daily basis. |
It is clarified that no amounts shall bear both Step-Up Interest and Arrears Interest at the same time, provided that any amount of Step-Up Interest not timely paid shall bear Arrears Interest in accordance with Section 2.7.2 above.

The Company shall pay the Lender, as of the Closing Date and until the earlier of (i) expiration of the Expansion Loan Availability Period and (ii) the Expansion Loan Disbursement Date, a non-utilization fee (the “Non-Utilization Fee”) at the amount equal to an annual rate of 2.5% of the unutilized portion of the Expansion Loan Amount (whether or not Borrower may withdraw any amounts therefrom pursuant to the provisions hereof) during each calendar month (or any portion thereof), calculated on a daily basis (the “Unutilized Portion”), plus applicable VAT. The Non-Utilization Fee shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date following the Closing Date with respect to the Unutilized Portion during the then ending Interest Period. |
2.9. | Payments. Unless instructed otherwise in writing by the Lender, all payments to be made to the Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be made to the following account of Lender: |

2.10. | Prepayment. Notwithstanding the provisions contained herein, the Company may prepay any amounts due to the Lender on account of the Loans (the “Prepaid Amount”), at any time prior to the Final Maturity Date (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts that such prepayment shall be made on an Interest Payment Date), subject to payment of the Prepayment Fee applicable to the Prepaid Amount as provided below, provided that the Company delivers to Lender a written notice (“Prepayment Notice”) at least seven (7) days prior to the requested prepayment date, and provided, further, that the Prepaid Amount shall not be less than the lesser of (i) US$ 200,000 and (ii) all amounts then outstanding under the Transaction Agreements on account of the Loans. |
For the purposes hereof:
2.10.1. | “Prepayment Fee” shall be an amount equal to the difference (as of the effective time of prepayment) between: (a) the future cash flow (principal plus Interest payments) in respect of the prepaid portion of the Loan, discounted based on the Government Bond Yield (as defined below) plus 1.75% per year, and (b) the Prepaid Amount. Prepayment Fee shall in no event be negative. |
2.10.2. | “Government Bond Yield” shall mean the weighted average of the gross yield to maturity (before tax) stated as a percentage and rounded up to the nearest four places after the decimal point of two Reference Bonds, on the last five (5) trading days prior to the date of the Prepayment Notice (the last of such Business Days being the last Business Day before the date of the Prepayment Notice). |
2.10.3. | “Reference Bond” shall mean a bond denominated in NIS, issued by the State of Israel, traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, fully linked to the Israeli Consumer Price Index (“Index”), bearing interest at a fixed rate, which: |
(a) | has an average principal time to maturity of at least one month and which is closest to that of the relevant Loan as of the date of the Prepayment Notice (provided that one bond shall be have an average principal time to maturity that is shorter than that of the relevant Loan and the other bond shall have an average principal time to maturity that is longer than that of the relevant bond), and |
(b) | has a total trading volume of at least NIS ten million (10,000,000) per trading day on the last five trading days prior to the relevant date. |
If one or both of the Index linked bonds issued by the State of Israel with the average time to maturity closest to that of the relevant Loan do not meet the aforesaid trading volume requirements, then such Index linked, fixed rate, Israeli government bond or bonds, as the case may be, will be substituted by such bond or bonds which meet the trading volume requirements and which have an average principal time to maturity closest to that of the relevant Loan.
Numeric example for calculation of Prepayment Fee is attached as Exhibit 2.10 hereto.
For the avoidance of doubt, any amount repaid on account of the Loans may not be withdrawn again.
15
2.11. | Mandatory Repayment. If the Expansion Loan was extended to Borrower but Borrower has not raised equity capital in an aggregate amount exceeding US$ 5,000,000 by the end of the Expansion Loan Availability Period, then at the request of Lender in its sole discretion, Borrower shall, at the then upcoming Principal Payment Date, prepay a portion of the Expansion Loan at an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) US$ 500,000, and (ii) 50% of the actual Expansion Loan Amount that was extended to Borrower, together with all unpaid Interest accrued thereon by the actual prepayment date. Such mandatory prepayment shall not be subject to Prepayment Fee. |

5.3. | Acceleration of Maturities. When any Event of Default described in Sections 5.1.2, 5.1.3, 5.1.4, 5.1.5 or 5.1.8 has happened and is continuing, all amounts due to the Lender on account of the Loan shall become immediately due and payable without notice (subject to any applicable cure or grace periods provided therefor therein) and any commitment of the Lender to extend any funds hereunder shall forthwith immediately terminate. Lender shall notify Borrower of its exercise of such rights upon such exercise, provided that the lack of such notice shall not impair such rights of Lender. When any other Event of Default has happened and is continuing, the Lender may, by notice in writing sent to the Company, declare all Secured Amounts immediately due and payable (subject to any applicable cure or grace periods provided therefor therein), in which case if such notice is so provided, any commitment of the Lender to extend any funds hereunder shall forthwith immediately terminate. It is clarified that should the Company fail to cure an Event of Default within the applicable cure or grace period set forth in Section 5.1 above, the Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred on the date of the breach underlying such Event of Default. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, if in the Lender’s reasonable good faith opinion the grant of any cure or grace period or notice provided for herein would materially prejudice its rights pursuant to the Transaction Documents or pursuant to any law or their ability to be repaid the Secured Amounts or realize the Collateral, the Lender shall be entitled to reduce the cure or grace period or not grant it or such notice at all. |
Upon such amounts becoming due and payable as a result of any Event of Default as aforesaid, the Company will promptly pay to the Lender all amounts due to the Lender under the Transaction Agreements, including any applicable VAT. Arrears Interest shall accrue on any delayed payment, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7.2 above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the option of applying the proceeds of any insurance policy up to US$ 100,000, in the aggregate, towards the replacement or repair of destroyed or damaged property. If Borrower fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 7.6 or to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third parties, Lender may make all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in this Section 7.6, and take any action under the policies Lender reasonably deems required. |

8.1.1. | Without derogating from any other right or remedy of Lender under the Transaction Agreements, Lender may at any time, and without the need for Borrower’s consent, utilize any and all amounts deposited in the Cushion Deposit for effecting payment of any amounts which become due and payable to it under the Transaction Agreements and are not timely paid to Lender for any reason whatsoever. Lender shall notify Borrower promptly following such utilization (“Utilization Notice”). In any event the Cushion Deposit shall be utilized for repayment of any outstanding amounts as of the Final Maturity Date. |
8.1.2. | Once Lender shall have utilized any portion of the Cushion Deposit as aforesaid, Borrower shall have 60 days from the receipt the applicable Utilization Notice (the “Make Whole Period”) to make the Cushion Deposit whole again (i.e., such that the entire Initial Cushion Deposit Amount and, if applicable, the Additional Cushion Deposit Amount, shall once again be deposited in the Cushion Deposit) (“Make the Cushion Deposit Whole”). It is clarified that any further utilization(s) by Lender of the Cushion Deposit during the Make Whole Period (or the Make Whole Period Extension, as applicable) and prior to Making the Cushion Deposit Whole, shall not extend the Make Whole Period (or the Make Whole Period Extension, as applicable) or otherwise affect Borrower’s obligations to Make the Cushion Deposit Whole by the end of the Make Whole Period (or the Make Whole Period Extension, as applicable). |
8.1.3. | Failure by Borrower to Make the Cushion Deposit Whole by the end of the Make Whole Period shall not constitute a Default, but shall automatically render the Interest subject to an additional interest at an annual rate of four percent (4%) (“Make Whole Interest”), effective as of the lapse of the Make Whole Period. The foregoing shall not relive Borrower from its obligation to Make the Cushion Deposit Whole. Make Whole Interest shall not replace or otherwise affect any applicable Step-Up Interest (if applies due to any other circumstances) and/or Arrears Interest due on any amounts hereunder (if any), and vice versa. |
8.1.4. | Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure by Borrower to Make the Cushion Deposit Whole within 60 days following expiration of the Make Whole Period (the “Make Whole Period Extension”) shall constitute an Event of Default, in which case the Make Whole Interest shall become effective retroactively from the commencement of the Make Whole Period, such that it shall become due and payable also in respect of the entire Make Whole Period. |
34
8.2. | Minimum Cash |
8.2.1. | So long as any amount is due or may become due to the Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, at all times the Company shall maintain in its bank accounts an aggregate amount of unrestricted cash or cash equivalents in an amount of at least US$ 500,000 (“Minimum Cash Amount”). It is hereby clarified that nothing herein shall prevent the Company from freely using such cash amount in accordance with the provisions hereof (subject to meeting the above covenant regarding the Minimum Cash Amount at all times). |

8.2.3. | In the event that in light of the financial condition of the Company or the market terms the Company shall reduce the aggregate amount of all of its Deposits (whether existing or future) below an amount of US$ 2,000,000, then, solely with respect to an amount of the first US$ 1,500,000 being so released (the “Relevant Released Amount”), the Minimum Cash Amount shall be further increased by 30% of each amount out of such Relevant Released Amount so released from any Deposits. |
8.3. | Downturn. (i) The Monthly Gross Bookings Value as of the end of any two consecutive calendar months shall not decrease by more than 50% compared to the Base Monthly Gross Bookings Value, and (ii) the Monthly Gross Booking Value as of the end of any six consecutive calendar months shall not decrease by more than 20% compared to the Base Monthly Gross Booking Value. |

8.4.1. | the simple average of Monthly Profitability during any 3-month period shall at all times be positive (i.e., more than zero); and |
