The institution of any proceedings by the Bank in order to collect any such sums shall not derogate from our obligations to pay any such sums immediately and we shall not be entitled to delay the payment of any such sums until the finalization of any other proceedings instituted by the Bank. | |
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTION |
6. |
In every instance that Credit is granted or is to be granted to the Customer in any foreign currency (hereinafter referred to as a “Foreign Currency Transaction”), we hereby undertake to pay to the Bank or to its order in that same foreign currency all the Said Sums which are due and which shall become due from the Customer with respect to that Foreign Currency Transaction, including principal, interest and linkage differentials, if they occur, as well as commissions and reasonable and actual expenses resulting from the linkage of the principal and the interest or any one of them, to the Exchange Rate.
In the event that the Bank shall be compelled to take legal action against us (on the basis of this Guarantee) in order to recover Said Sums in respect of a Foreign Currency Transaction and the court and/or the execution office shall order us to pay any sums in respect of the Foreign Exchange Transaction, in Israeli currency or in consideration of Israeli currency, we hereby undertake to pay the Bank the amount, in New Israeli Shekel, or the proceeds thereof, which shall be sufficient for the conversion into foreign currency of the said amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of actual payment. | |
LIABILITY IN EVENT OF ARRANGMENT, LIQUIDATION OR BANKRUPTCY | 7. | In the event of any arrangement made with respect to the debts of the Customer, (including an arrangement by the court) or the liquidation or bankruptcy thereof, such arrangement shall not derogate from our obligations pursuant to this Guarantee and the Bank shall be entitled to demand from us the Guaranteed Amount in full in accordance with the amount of the Said Sums as would have been due from the Customer to the Bank if it were not for such arrangement, liquidation or bankruptcy. The Bank shall be entitled to consent to any compromise settlement, and such compromise shall not to derogate from our guarantee for the entire Guaranteed Amount. We undertake not to submit evidence of a debt to a receiver, trustee, etc., without the prior written approval of the Bank which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may submit to the receiver, trustee, etc., proof of a debt (or claims of a debt or claims of a similar nature), only if it is emphasized that such claims are subordinate and junior to the rights of the Bank at the time of the receivership or dissolution. |

UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE | 8. | The Bank is not bound to accept any additional collateral or guarantee from Customer in respect of the payment of the Said Sums. If it was known to us at the time of or prior to our signing this Guarantee that the Bank was about to obtain other collateral from the Customer or further guarantees, including any instance in which names of additional guarantors were to be supplemented to this Guarantee and the Bank shall not have received such additional collateral and/or the additional guarantors shall not have signed any other guarantee, the validity of this Guarantee shall not thereby be derogated from and we shall perform all our obligations hereunder. | ||

(f) | refrain from notifying us of the non-performance of any obligations whatsoever by the Customer and/or postpone or suspend the submission of demands against us hereunder, without the same being deemed to constitute a precedent, waiver, limitation of action or negligence on the part of the Bank. | |||
Upon the occurrence of any of the aforesaid events, even if as a consequence thereof a loss shall be incurred by the Bank, this Guarantee shall remain fully valid and effective and shall not be affected or altered or reduced as to the amount thereof and all our obligations shall remain unaffected and shall not be reduced. In order to avoid all doubt, it is hereby stipulated that if the Bank perform any of the aforesaid acts, we shall not be entitled to any right of option, right of cancellation or any other right stipulated in the Guarantee Law, 5727-1967, in respect of the said acts and we hereby expressly waive all our said rights thereunder. | ||||
WAIVER OF DEFENCE | 10. | This Guarantee shall not be derogated from, reduced or altered and shall remain valid and effective:- | ||
CLAIMS | (a) | in the event that the Customer’s indebtedness to the Bank is impaired or invalid for any reason whatsoever including, inter alia, by reason of the capacity or representation of the Customer; | ||

In each of the aforesaid instances, the abovementioned indebtedness shall, for the purposes of this Guarantee, be deemed to be valid, unimpaired, fully effective, non-appealable and unable to be responded to for the purposes of this Guarantee and we hereby declare that we shall not raise any claim against the Bank and that all our obligations pursuant to this Guarantee shall remain fully effective and we hereby waive, in advance, any rights or claims that the Guarantee Law, 5727-1967, confers or allows in such circumstances. | ||||
PRESERVATION OF OBLIGATIONS |
11. | In the event that we or any one of us or the Customer is a legal entity, whether incorporated or unincorporated, or a trustee, executor or administrator, or joint account holder at the Bank, or any type of organization or entity constituting an affiliation of entities, our obligations hereunder shall not be derogated from by reason of any change in our name, constitution or composition or in that of the Customer. | ||
CONSIDERATION
|
12. | Without deeming consideration to be a precondition to the validity of this Guarantee in whole or in part, we hereby confirm that the Bank’s consent to advance Credit from time to time to the Customer or any party constituting the Customer shall be deemed to be full consideration for our obligations hereunder, in whole or in part. |

Copies of such entries and/or, at the discretion of the Bank, every item in such entry or such page or in separate document or any part of such entry or the last page of the said entry or any part thereof that shall be approved by an officer of the Bank, shall serve as sufficient evidence as to the existence of such entry and as to the accuracy of the details appearing thereon.

ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS | 25. | This Guarantee may be assigned by the Bank without the need to obtain our prior consent. | |
MUTUALLY DEPENDENT, JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY |
26. | In the event that the Customer shall have a number of Guarantors, the liability hereunder shall be mutually dependent, jointly and severally, and the Bank shall at its sole discretion, be entitled to collect from any one or more of the Guarantors, the full Guaranteed Amount or any part thereof. The liability of each one of the Guarantors shall not be affected by reason of any of the other Guarantors not having the capacity to be bound as Guarantors, or as a consequence of the Bank releasing them from their liability or returning to them the collateral that they delivered to the Bank. | |
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS | 27. | We hereby waive all our rights to plead prescription under any law in force at such time in all matters relating to this Guarantee and we hereby agree that the fact that the Bank does not immediately exercise its rights hereunder or in connection herewith in any given event shall not be deemed a waiver of such rights, nor a consent or acknowledgment by the Bank, nor shall it be deemed to create any precedent and the Bank shall be entitled to exercise the rights deriving from this document and/or in connection herewith and/or the law at such time as it may deem fit. | |

Upon the giving of such notice (if any) as may be required by law, the Bank may, at its discretion, as the Guarantor’s attorney, for which purpose the Guarantor irrevocably appoints the Bank as its attorney, sell the Collateral or any part of it by auction, public sale, private sale or otherwise, itself or through others and on conditions at the Bank’s absolute discretion, and the Bank may itself or by the court or execution office realize the Collateral granted to it pursuant to this Security Agreement or otherwise by the appointment of a receiver or receiver and manager on behalf of the Bank (and the Guarantor agrees in advance to any person or legal entity that the Bank appoints or proposes as receiver and manager as aforesaid) at Guarantor’s expense and amongst his other powers, he may:
(i) ask, demand, collect, receive, and give acquittances and receipts for any and all moneys due and to become due under any Collateral and, in the name of the Guarantor or its own name or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances, or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Bank for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed reasonably appropriate by the Bank for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) pay or discharge taxes, Liens, security interests, or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, to effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Security Agreement and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and
18
(iii) (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due, and to become due thereunder, directly to the Bank or as the Bank shall direct; (B) receive payment of and receipt for any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due, and to become due at any time, in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, and notices in connection with accounts and other documents constituting or relating to the Collateral; (D) commence and prosecute any suits, actions, or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) defend any suit, action, or proceeding brought against the Guarantor with respect to any Collateral; and (F) settle, compromise, or adjust any suit, action, or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Bank may deem appropriate.
(iv) (i) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Guarantor and/or (ii) deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral (including, without limitation, an Account Control Agreement);
(b) The Bank agrees that, except upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, it will forbear from exercising the power of attorney or any rights granted to the Bank pursuant to this Section 11. The Guarantor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 11 is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Security Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 14 below.
(c) The powers conferred on the Bank hereunder are solely to protect the Bank's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Bank shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor any of its representatives or agents shall be responsible to the Guarantor for any act or failure to act, except for its own gross negligence, bad faith, misrepresentation, fraud or willful misconduct.
(d) The Guarantor also authorizes the Bank, at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in Section 13 hereof, any endorsements, assignments, or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.
12. Performance by the Bank of Guarantor's Obligations. If the Guarantor materially fails to perform or comply with any of its material agreements contained herein and the Bank, as provided for by the terms of this Security Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable expenses of the Bank incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon, shall be payable by the Guarantor to the Bank on demand and shall constitute Secured Sums secured hereby.
19
13. Remedies, Rights Upon Default.
(a) Upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 3 above, and provided that the Secured Sums had not been fully paid, the Bank will be entitled to exercise in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Security Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing, or relating to the Secured Sums, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor expressly agrees that upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default (and provided that such Event of Default had not been cured during the applicable cure period), the Bank, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement, or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) or upon the Guarantor or any other person (all and each of which demands, advertisements, and/or notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate, and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver such Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker's board or at any of the Bank's offices or elsewhere at such prices on such terms as the Bank may deem commercially best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Bank shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of such Collateral so sold. The Guarantor further agrees, at the Bank's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Bank at places that the Bank shall reasonably select, whether at the Guarantor's premises or elsewhere. The Bank shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization, or sale, as provided in Section 13(d) hereof, the Guarantor remaining liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application, and only after so paying over such net proceeds and after the payment by the Bank of any other amount required by any provision of law, including section 9-610 of the UCC, need the Bank account for the surplus, if any, to the Guarantor. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Bank arising out of the repossession, retention, or sale of the Collateral except such as arise out of the gross negligence, fraud, misrepresentation, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Bank. The Guarantor agrees that the Bank need not give more than sixty (60) days' prior notice (which notification shall be deemed given when mailed or delivered on an overnight basis, postage prepaid, addressed to the Guarantor at its address referred to in Section 17 hereof with confirmation of receipt) of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters. The Guarantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all of the Secured Sums.
(b) The Guarantor also agrees to pay all costs of the Bank, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of its rights and remedies hereunder.
(c) Except as otherwise set forth in this Security Agreement, the Guarantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest, or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
20
(d) The Proceeds of any sale, disposition, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be distributed by the Bank in the following order:
(a) | first, in discharge of all expenses incurred in connection with collecting the Secured Sums, including the expenses and remuneration of any receiver and/or manager at such rate as reasonably fixed by the Bank; |
(b) | second, in discharge of the further amounts that are due to the Bank in consequence of the linkage conditions, the interest, damages, commission and expenses now and in future due to the Bank pursuant to this Security Agreement; |
(c) | third, in discharge of the principal of the Secured Sums; and |
(d) | fourth, to pay to the Guarantor, or its representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, any surplus then remaining from such Proceeds. |
(e) The Bank shall not be required to resort to or pursue any of its rights or remedies under or with respect to any other agreement or any other collateral or charge before pursuing any of its rights or remedies under this Security Agreement. The Bank may pursue its rights and remedies in such order as it determines, and the exercise by the Bank of any right or remedy will not preclude the Bank from exercising any other right or remedy.
(f) Until such time as any of the events set forth in Section 3 above have occurred, the Bank shall not exercise the rights set forth in subsection (a) above, including without limitation giving a Notice of Exclusive Control under the Deposit Account Control Agreement by and among the Bank, the Guarantor and Bank Leumi USA dated as of July 19th, 2017 (as such term is defined therein) or the giving of any similar notice under any other deposit account control agreement granting a security interest in any deposit account entered into pursuant to this Agreement or as a result of the Banking Services.
14. Termination. The Bank shall terminate this Security Agreement upon the Guarantor’s request provided that there has been the full repayment of all outstanding Secured Sums, all credit lines of the Affiliated Company are cancelled, and there remain no obligations towards the Bank or any outstanding credit facilities either of Guarantor or of Affiliated Company. Upon termination of this Security Agreement the Bank will release the security interest hereunder and will provide the Guarantor with any required approval or executed documents to the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to remove the security interest in favor of the Bank under this Security Agreement.
21
15. Appointment of the Bank; Limitation on the Bank's Duty in Respect of Collateral. The Bank shall be obligated and shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral) solely in accordance with this Security Agreement, and the Bank shall be bound thereby. So long as the Bank complies with reasonable banking practices, the Bank shall not have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of it or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, except that the Bank shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Furthermore, neither the Bank nor any of its officers, directors, agents, or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by any of them hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by it or their gross negligence, fraud, misrepresentation, bad faith or willful misconduct. Upon request of the Guarantor, the Bank shall account for any monies received by it in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of the Collateral.
16. Reinstatement. Subject to the provisions of Section 14 above, this Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Guarantor for liquidation or reorganization, should the Guarantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Guarantor's assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Sums, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Sums, whether as a "voidable preference", "fraudulent conveyance", or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored, or returned, the Secured Sums shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored, or returned.
17. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration, or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give or serve upon any other communication with respect to this Security Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration, or other communication shall be in writing and either shall be delivered in person with receipt acknowledged or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by facsimile, and confirmed by answerback addressed as follows:

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising on the part of a party hereunder, any right, power, or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.
