Re: Financing Commitment Letter

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made to that certain Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among [●], a [●] ( “Purchaser A”), [●], a [●], and Internet Gold - Golden Lines Ltd. (the “Seller”) and B Communications Ltd. (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

 

This letter agreement is being delivered to Purchaser A in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Transactions”).   

 

1. Commitment. This letter agreement confirms the commitment of each entity listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (each, an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”), severally and not jointly, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to purchase, or to cause the purchase of, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediate entities, its pro rata percentage (set forth on Exhibit A, and such amount of the Aggregate Commitment (as defined below) with respect to each Investor, such Investor’s “Maximum Investor Commitment”) of equity and/or debt securities of Purchaser A, such that all such securities purchased by all such Investors shall equal an aggregate amount of [●] ([●])1 (the “Aggregate Commitment”), solely to the extent necessary for Purchaser A to fund its payment obligations under Section 7.2(c) and to pay all fees and expenses of Purchaser A related to the Transactions; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise to the contrary, no Investor shall, under any circumstances, be obligated to contribute to, purchase securities of, or otherwise provide any funds to, Purchaser A in an amount exceeding the amount of such Investor’s Maximum Investor Commitment and the Investors, collectively, shall not, under any circumstances, be obligated to contribute to, purchase securities of, or otherwise provide any funds to, Purchaser A in an amount exceeding the Aggregate Commitment. This letter agreement constitutes all of the obligations and liabilities of each Investor in relation to such Investor’s portion of the Aggregate Commitment and shall not give rise to any other obligations or liabilities on any of the Investors. The proceeds from such purchase of debt and/or equity securities shall be used by Purchaser A solely to pay its obligations under Section 7.2(c) and fees and expenses of Purchaser A related to the Transactions and for no other purpose. 

 

 

1Note to Draft: Total amount (of both commitment letters) to be at least NIS 485MM, and will be inserted at signing as applicable.

5.15.מנגנון הוספת ריבית

 

5.15.1.במידה והחברה לא עומדת בהתחייבויותיה כאמור בסעיף 5.14 לשטר הנאמנות המתוקן (בסעיף 5.15 זה: "החריגה"), יעלה שיעור הריבית השנתית שתישא יתרת הקרן הבלתי מסולקת של אגרות החוב (סדרה ג') בשיעור של 0.25% (בשטר נאמנות מתוקן זה - "הריבית הנוספת") מעל שיעור הריבית השנתית המפורט בסעיף 3.1.2 לשטר הנאמנות, וזאת בגין התקופה שתתחיל ממועד הבדיקה השני ברציפות בו לא עמדה החברה ביחס ה- LTV (בשטר נאמנות מתוקן זה – "מועד החריגה") ועד למוקדם מבין (א) הפסקת החריגה כאמור בסעיף ‏5.15.5 להלן; או (ב) פירעון מלא של יתרת הקרן הבלתי מסולקת של אגרות החוב (סדרה ג'). מובהר, כי העלאת שיעור הריבית כאמור לעיל תיעשה רק פעם אחת במשך כל תקופה בה מתקיימת חריגה, ככל שתהא, וכי שיעור הריבית לא יועלה במקרה של חריגה מתמשכת או נוספת שתתרחש קודם לתיקון חריגה שארעה קודם לה, ככל שתהיה.

 

5.15.2.לא יאוחר מתום יום עסקים אחד ממועד החריגה, תפרסם החברה דוח מיידי, בו תציין החברה: (א) את דבר החריגה, תוך פירוט יחס ה- LTV במועד פרסום הדוח הרלוונטי; (ב) את שיעור הריבית המדויקת שתישא יתרת קרן אגרות החוב (סדרה ג') לתקופה שמתחילת תקופת הריבית הנוכחית ועד למועד החריגה (שיעור הריבית יחושב לפי 365 ימים בשנה); (ג) את שיעור הריבית שתישא יתרת קרן אגרות החוב (סדרה ג') החל ממועד החריגה ועד מועד תשלום הריבית הקרוב בפועל, דהיינו: ריבית המקור בתוספת הריבית הנוספת לשנה (שיעור הריבית יחושב לפי 365 ימים בשנה); (ד) את שיעור הריבית המשוקללת שתשלם החברה למחזיקי אגרות החוב (סדרה ג') במועד תשלום הריבית הקרוב, הנובעת מן האמור בס"ק (ב) ו- (ג) לעיל; (ה) את שיעור הריבית השנתית המשתקפת משיעור הריבית המשוקללת ו- (ו) את שיעור הריבית השנתית ואת שיעור הריבית לכל תקופת תשלום ריבית חצי שנתית בגין אגרות החוב (סדרה ג') (הריבית לתקופה תחושב כריבית השנתית חלקי שניים) לתקופות הבאות.

 

 

4כך, למשל, במקרה בו החברה לא עמדה במועד בדיקה אחד ביחס הנדרש, אזי החברה תמצא כמי שלא עמדה באמת המידה הנדרשת רק אם גם במועד הבדיקה העוקב מיידית אחריו החברה לא עמדה ביחס הנדרש. (לדוגמה: אם החברה לא עמדה ביחס הנדרש ביום 31.3.2022 וכן לא עמדה ביחס הנדרש ביום 30.6.2022, הרי שביום 14.7.2022 החברה תהיה בהפרה, בהתאם להוראות סעיף 9.1.35 לשטר הנאמנות המתוקן ולמחזיקים תקום עילה לפרעון מיידי).

5.15.4.במקרה של חריגה, באופן שתשפיע על שיעור הריבית שתישאנה אגרות החוב (סדרה ג') כאמור לעיל בסעיף ‏5.15.1 לעיל, תודיע החברה על כך לנאמן בכתב תוך יום עסקים אחד ממועד פרסום הדוח המיידי כאמור, תוך פירוט השינוי בשיעור הריבית.

 

5.15.5.יובהר, כי במקרה שלאחר שהתקיימה חריגה שהשפיעה על שיעור הריבית שתישאנה אגרות החוב (סדרה ג') כאמור בסעיף ‏5.15.1 לעיל, יעודכן יחס ה- LTV באופן בו תחדל להתקיים החריגה, אזי יקטן שיעור הריבית שישולם על ידי החברה למחזיקי אגרות החוב (סדרה ג'), במועד התשלום הרלוונטי של הריבית, וזאת בגין התקופה החל ממועד הבדיקה הראשון בו עולה כי הפסיקה החריגה, כך ששיעור הריבית שתישא היתרה הבלתי מסולקת של קרן אגרות החוב (סדרה ג') יהיה שיעור ריבית המקור המפורט בסעיף 3.1.2 לשטר הנאמנות המתוקן. במקרה כאמור תפעל החברה בהתאם לאמור בסעיפים 5.15.2 עד 5.15.4 לעיל, בשינויים המחויבים הנובעים מביטול החריגה.
