Conditions of the issue; purchase by the Company and additional issues

The Company will issue the Debentures under the conditions as set forth in the Prospectus, in the Offering Report and in the Debentures.  The Company will be entitled to issue additional series of debentures of different classes, whether same rank prior to the conditions of the Debentures pursuant to the Prospectus, are equal or inferior thereto.

A company under the control of the Company, the controlling shareholders in the Company and/or companies under the control of the controlling shareholders in the Company (hereinafter: “Related Holders”) are entitled at any time to buy and/or sell Debentures at any price they may deem fit, and to sell same accordingly.  In the case of a purchase and/or sale as aforesaid, the Company shall deliver an immediate report/notice to that effect to the Trustee, upon it becoming aware of the fact.  The Debentures which are held as aforesaid by a Related Holder will be deemed to be an asset of the Related Holder, and will not be expunged from trading on the Stock Exchange.  Debentures which are held as aforesaid will not confer voting rights at meetings of debenture holders and will not be taken into account for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings.

At the time a meeting of debenture holders is held, the Trustee shall examine the existence of conflicting interests of holders of debenture certificates generally, according to the circumstances of the case.  The Company and the Trustee will take steps to convene class meetings of debenture holders in accordance with the provisions of any law, decided cases, provisions of the Securities Law and the regulations and directives that have been issued pursuant thereto, as the Trustee shall direct.  There is a presumption that Related Holders have conflicting interests.  In the case in which any of the Related Holders holds Debentures of any series, there will be a necessity for class meetings of debenture holders in a manner whereby one of the classes of meetings will be a group that does not include Related Holders.

The Trustee may, in its sole discretion, determine that a resolution requiring approval of debenture holders of any series does not require a meeting of a particular class (including the Trustee being entitled to decide that it does not require the convening of a meeting of Related Holders) or that such meeting will not be called.

 
3.4
The Company may at any time, subject to any law, including in a period up to the date of final redemption of the Debentures of a particular series, issue additional Debentures of the same series (whether by way of a private placement, or in the framework of a prospectus or pursuant to a shelf offering report) at such price and in such manner as the Company shall deem fit, including a different discount rate or premium than other issues made of the same series, provided that it gives notice to that effect to the debenture holders and to the Trustee of such series.  The Debentures which will be issued in the first offering of the Debentures of that series pursuant to the Prospectus and additional Debentures of the same series that will be issued (if any) pursuant to this clause will (from the time of their issue) constitute one series for all intents and purposes, and the Deed of Trust for that series will also apply with respect to additional Debentures as aforesaid that may be issued by the Company.  In the case of an increase of a series of Debentures forming part of Series C to H, the Trustee will have the right to demand an increase in its remuneration proportionate to 50% of the extent of the enlarged series, and by contracting under this Deed the Company gives its consent in advance to an increase in the Trustee’s remuneration as aforesaid.  The Company will apply to the Stock Exchange requesting to list the additional debentures for trading on the Stock Exchange.

3.5
The Company may at any time, without requiring the consent of the Trustee and/or the consent of the debenture holders, issue additional series of Debentures, whether same confer a right of conversion into shares of the Company or do not confer such right, and on such conditions with regard to redemption, interest, indexation, ranking for repayment in the event of a winding-up and other conditions as the Company shall deem fit, whether such conditions are more favorable than the conditions of the Debentures offered pursuant to this Prospectus, equal or inferior thereto.  This right which the Company has does not exempt the Trustee from examining such issue, wherever such obligation is imposed by law on the Trustee, and it does not derogate from the rights of the Trustee and of a meeting of debenture holders pursuant to this Deed, including their right to make the Debentures immediately due and payable as stated in Clause 7.2 or 7.3 below.

The Company will notify the Trustee, and the Trustee will notify the debenture holders, about the issue of such Debentures.

It is clarified that if at the time of a shelf offering report the Trustee serves as a trustee for an additional series Debentures of the Company and/or the shelf offering report relates to more than one series of Debentures, the possibility of the Trustee serving as a trustee for the additional series of Debentures, or any of them, will be examined both by the Company and by the Trustee, and subject to the directive of the Securities Authority and/or the law which applies at such time.  If a different trustee is appointed for any of series of Debentures as a result of the foregoing, the particulars of such trustee will be described in the framework of the relevant offering report.

 
3.6
Nothing contained in this clause above shall in itself oblige the Company or the debenture holders to buy Debentures or to sell the Debentures held by them.

 
3.7
The Company reserves the right to make early repayment of the Debentures upon the fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Clause 6 of this Deed.

4.

Securing of the Debentures

The Company reserves the right to create collateral security in favor of holders of the Debentures that may be issued in accordance with the Shelf Prospectus.  Details about the mechanism for securing the Debentures that will be issued in accordance with the Shelf Prospectus, to the extent that they are secured by collateral, will be outlined in the framework of the relevant shelf offering report, and the conditions for the amendment to the Deed of Trust that is required by virtue of the addition of collateral security as aforesaid will be such that shall be agreed in advance with the Trustee.

For the avoidance of doubt it is clarified that there shall be no obligation on the Trustee to examine, and at the date of issue of a series from the shelf the Trustee has in practice not examined and will not examine, the necessity for providing collateral security to secure the payments to the debenture holders, and the Trustee will not examine the economic value of the collateral security that will be provided (if any) to secure the payment to the debenture holders.  Likewise the Trustee will not be required to carry out, and in practice the Trustee has not carried out, a financial, accounting or legal due diligence examination regarding the state of the business of the Company and/or the subsidiaries, and will not carry out such examination at the time of issue of a series from the shelf.  By entering into this Deed of Trust, and by it agreeing to serve as trustee for the debenture holders, the Trustee is not expressing its opinion, whether expressly or impliedly, with regard to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations to the debenture holders.  Nothing in the foregoing shall derogate from the duties and obligations of the Trustee according to law and/or under the Deed of Trust, including there being nothing which derogates from the Trustee’s obligation (to the extent that such obligation applies to the Trustee according to any law) to examine the effect of changes in the Company from the date of the Prospectus onwards, where such changes could adversely affect the Company’s ability to meet its obligations to the debenture holders.  Nothing in the foregoing shall derogate from the duties and obligations of the Trustee according to law and/or according to the Deed of Trust.

 
5.2
The Company will be entitled to sell, let under leasehold, assign, make over, encumber or otherwise dispose of all and/or part of its assets, in favor of whomever it deems fit, without any limitation, and at any ranking, including for securing series of debentures or other obligations, and without the necessity for the consent of the Trustee or the debenture holders and without it being obliged to notify the Trustee about the creation of such encumbrances.

Early redemption of the Debentures

 
6.1
Early redemption due to delisting from trading

After the Debentures have been listed for trading on the Stock Exchange, and if and to the extent that after such listing for trading it is decided by the Stock Exchange on the delisting of the Debentures which are not convertible due to a decline in the value of the series of Debentures below the amounts specified in the Stock Exchange directives or of the delisting of the Convertible Debentures due to a decline in the value of the public’s holdings below the amount specified in the Stock Exchange directives as aforesaid, the Company will be entitled to allow early redemption of the Debentures (Series C to H).  Unless the Company gives notice to the contrary in the shelf offering report pursuant to which a particular series of Debentures forming part of the series (C to H) is offered for the first time, the Company will not allow such early redemption of the series due delisting as aforesaid.

6.1.3
At the time of early redemption the Company will redeem the Debentures which the holders thereof have requested to redeem, according to the balance of the par value thereof plus indexation differences and the interest that has accrued on the principal up to the date of actual redemption (calculation of the interest shall be made on a basis of 365 days in the year).

 
9

 

Fixing of a date for early redemption as aforesaid does not prejudice the redemption rights specified in the Debentures or the rights of conversion of the Convertible Debentures, for any of the debenture holders who do not redeem the Debentures at the time of early redemption as aforesaid, but the Debentures will be delisted and the tax implications arising from this will apply to them.

Early redemption of the Debentures as aforesaid will not confer the right to payment of interest in respect of the period subsequent to the date of redemption on any person who held the Debentures that were redeemed as aforesaid.

 
6.2
Early redemption on the Company’s initiative

 
The Company will be entitled to make the Debentures of any of the Series C to H, which will be offered pursuant to the offering report and in accordance with the Shelf Prospectus subject to early redemption, on such terms and conditions, price, mechanism, timetable and the remaining conditions that are specified in the Stock Exchange directives as in force for the time being, as shall be specified in the first offering report of the Debentures of the relevant series.
