The Series A Notes bear a fixed interest rate of 4.84% per annum, payable on June 30 and December 30 of each of the years 2010 through 2020 (the first interest payment was made on December 30, 2010, and the last interest payment will be made on June 30, 2020). During 2010, the Company recorded $4,395 as interest expenses. Debt issuance costs were approximately $2,530, of which $2,164 was allocated to the Series A Notes discount, and $366 was allocated to deferred issuance costs and are amortized as financial expense over the term of the Series A Notes due in 2020. Amortization of discount and deferred financing costs amount to $258, as of December 31, 2010.</font></div></div>

Under the cross currency interest rate swaps, the Company will receive fixed NIS at a rate of 4.84% on NIS 1.1 billion and pay floating six-month USD LIBOR + an average spread of 1.65% on $287,000, which reflects the U.S. dollar value of the Series A Notes on the specific dates the transactions were entered. Both the debt and the swap instruments will pay semi-annual coupons on June 30 and December 31. The purpose of these transactions was to convert the NIS fixed rate Series A Notes into USD LIBOR (6 months) floating rate obligations. As a result of these agreements, the Company is currently paying an effective interest rate of six-month LIBOR (0.45% at December 31, 2010) plus an average of 1.65% on the principal amount, as compared to the original 4.84% fixed rate. The above transactions qualify for fair value hedge accounting.</font></font></div></div></div></td></tr></table></div>
