Issue of The Notes |
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Company will issue registered Series B Notes, unlimited in amount, payable in 5 equal annual installments, on July 1 of each of the years 2011 to 2015, inclusive (the first installment to be effected on July 1, 2011 and the last installment to be effected on July 1, 2015), bearing interest at a rate to be determined in the tender as described in the Company’s Prospectus of February 2008, payable in semi-annual installments on July 1 and December 31 of each year in the years 2008 to 2015 (the first installment to be effected on July 1, 2008 and the last installment to be effected on July 1, 2015), linked (principal and interest) to the Consumer Price Index, for the month of December 2007, as was published on January 15, 2008, all pursuant to the terms set forth in the Note attached as Appendix A hereto. |
|||
|
|
|||
|
Increase in the series – The Company may issue, at any time and from time to time, without the approval of either the Noteholders or the Trustee, including to the Company’s subsidiary, pursuant to the provisions of any law, including, but without derogating from the foregoing, the Dutch laws with respect to market abuse, additional Series B Notes with identical terms to those of the Series B Notes, at such price and in such manner as the Company finds fit, provided that this Deed will apply to all such additional Series B Notes to be issued by the Company and that they shall be deemed as the Series B Notes first issued. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary anywhere in this Deed, an additional issue of Series B Notes exceeding USD 400 million, rated by a Rating Company (as of the date hereof, the amount refers to both Series B and Series B Notes), shall be effected subject to another rating by a Rating Company and subject further that such additional issue of Series B Notes shall not adversely affect the rating of the Notes first issued under this Deed, as then in effect. To the extent required, the Company shall obtain the Stock Exchange’s approval for such increase and shall publish an immediate report of any increase in any series of the Notes. In the event the Series B Notes will be increased to an aggregate principal amount of more than the amount raised from the public, the Trustee’s annual fee will be updated in the sum of NIS 5,000 (for all the increases collectively). |

|
|
|
|
|
|
The Series B Notes have not been offered with a discount. In the event that the Company issues additional Notes in the future, as part of an increase of the Series B Notes, at such discount rate as is different than the discount rate to be determined in the issue of the offered securities, the Company will apply, prior to the increase in the series, to the Tax Authority, for its approval (hereinafter: the “Tax Arrangement”) that, for the purpose of tax withholding from the discounting charges in respect of Notes, a uniform discounting rate shall be determined for the Notes, in accordance with a formula weighting the various discounting rates in that series, if any (hereinafter: the “Weighted Discounting Rate”). In the event of obtaining the Tax Arrangement, the Company will compute, on the date of the increase in the series, the Weighted Discounting Rate for the Series B Notes and will publish, by means of an immediate report, before the increase in the series subject to the Tax Arrangement, the Weighted Uniform Discounting Rate for the entire series and will withhold tax on the redemption dates of the Notes at the Weighted Discounting Rate, as aforesaid, pursuant to the provisions of any law. In such event, all the other provisions of the law pertaining to the taxation of discounting charges shall apply. In the event that no such Tax Arrangement is approved by the Israel Tax Authority, the Company shall withhold tax from the discounting charges, in respect of the entire series of the Notes, at the higher discounting rate created in respect of such series. In such event, the Company shall publish, in an immediate report, before the increase of such series, the discounting rate determined in respect of the entire series, as aforesaid, and all the other provisions of the law pertaining to the taxation of discounting charges, shall apply. The Company shall withhold tax upon redemption of the Notes, at the discounting rate to be reported as aforesaid. |
5
|
|
|
|
|
|
In any event of an increase in the Series B Notes, on whatever grounds, where the discounting rate to be determined, within the framework of the issue of the Notes, is higher than the discounting rate of the series prior to the increase in the series, there may be cases where the Company withholds tax from the discounting charges at such rate as exceeds the discounting charges determined for the person who held the Notes of that series prior to the increase in the series (hereinafter: the “Surplus Discounting Charges”), irrespective of whether or not the Tax Arrangement has been obtained from the Tax Authority, as to setting a uniform discounting rate for the Series B Notes. An assessee who held the Notes prior to the increase in the Series B Notes, up to the settlement of the Series B Notes held by him, will be entitled to submit a tax return to the Israel Tax Authority and to receive a refund of the tax at the rate of the tax withheld from the Surplus Discounting Charges, to the extent he is entitled to such refund under law. |
|||
|
|
|||
|
Deposit of additional securities – The Company reserves the right to issue, at any time, without approval of the Trustee and/or the Noteholders, other Notes or Series Notes or other securities of any nature or type whatsoever, at such terms as the Company shall find fit, whether preferable, equal or inferior to the terms of the Notes. |
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Notes may not be offered, sold, transferred or disposed of in the Netherlands, as part of the initial spread thereof and at any time thereafter, either directly or indirectly, other than to qualified investors (gekwalificeerde beleggers) as provided in article 1:1 of the Dutch Act on the financial supervision (Wet op het financieel toezicht), except that an offering, sale or transfer of the Debentures on the on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange will not be deemed to be an offering in The Netherlands.

The Notes to be held, as aforesaid, by a subsidiary, will be deemed as an asset of the subsidiary, will not be delisted from trading on the Stock Exchange, and will be transferable similar to the other Series B Notes. The votes to which such a subsidiary will be entitled, by virtue of its holdings in the Notes, will not be counted for the purpose of determining the existence of a quorum at general meetings of Noteholders, and the Notes held by the subsidiary will not confer on it voting rights at such general meetings, so long as the Notes are held by such subsidiary. |

|
|

8.7 |
Subject to the provisions of subsection 8.6 above, it is clarified that the Noteholders' obligation to indemnify the Trustee is on a pro-rata basis, but the Trustee may refrain from adopting any measure as aforesaid in subsection 8.6 above, until such time as it receives, to its satisfaction, an indemnity letter from all or any of the Noteholders, at its discretion, in connection with any liability for damages and/or expenses liable to be caused to the Trustee and the Company, due to the performance of such act, other than in circumstances where a pressing act is required, and where refraining from the performance thereof, prior to the receipt of the indemnify letter as aforesaid, is likely to cause damage and/or loss to the Noteholders. |

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary anywhere in this Deed, an additional issue of Series B Notes exceeding USD 400 million, rated by a Rating Company (as of the date hereof, the amount refers to both Series B and Series B Notes), shall be effected subject to another rating by a Rating Company and subject further that such additional issue of Series B Notes shall not adversely affect the rating of the Notes first issued under this Deed, as then in effect. To the extent required, the Company shall obtain the Stock Exchange’s approval for such increase and shall publish an immediate report of any increase in any series of the Notes. In the event the Series B Notes will be increased to an aggregate principal amount of more than the amount raised from the public, the Trustee’s annual fee will be updated in the sum of NIS 5,000 (for all the increases collectively). |

In the event of obtaining the Tax Arrangement, the Company will compute, on the date of the increase in the series, the Weighted Discounting Rate for the Series B Notes and will publish, by means of an immediate report, before the increase in the series subject to the Tax Arrangement, the Weighted Uniform Discounting Rate for the entire series and will withhold tax on the redemption dates of the Notes at the Weighted Discounting Rate, as aforesaid, pursuant to the provisions of any law.

The Company shall withhold tax upon redemption of the Notes, at the discounting rate to be reported as aforesaid. |
34
|
|
|
|
In any event of an increase in the Series B Notes, on whatever grounds, where the discounting rate to be determined, within the framework of the issue of the Notes, is higher than the discounting rate of the series prior to the increase in the series, there may be cases where the Company withholds tax from the discounting charges at such rate as exceeds the discounting charges determined for the person who held the Notes of that series prior to the increase in the series (hereinafter: the “Surplus Discounting Charges”), irrespective of whether or not the Tax Arrangement has been obtained from the Tax Authority, as to setting a uniform discounting rate for the Series B Notes. An assessee who held the Notes prior to the increase in the Series B Notes, up to the settlement of the Series B Notes held by him, will be entitled to submit a tax return to the Israel Tax Authority and to receive a refund of the tax at the rate of the tax withheld from the Surplus Discounting Charges, to the extent he is entitled to such refund under law. |

|
|
|
|
Deposit of additional securities – The Company reserves the right to issue, at any time, without approval of the Trustee and/or the Noteholders, other Notes or Series Notes or other securities of any nature or type whatsoever, at such terms as the Company shall find fit, whether preferable, equal or inferior to the terms of the Notes. |

|
|
|
|
