INDENTURE

This INDENTURE, dated as of January 14, 2026 (this "Indenture") by and between BANK HAPOALIM B.M., a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Israel (the "Issuer"), and MISHMERET – TRUSTS COMPANY LTD, as trustee (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the "Trustee").

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Issuer has authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture to provide for the issuance of \$1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.722% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "Initial 2029 Notes") and \$1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.252% Senior Notes due 2033 (the "Initial 2033 Notes," together with the Initial 2029 Notes, the "Initial Notes"), issuable as provided in this Indenture; and

WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of the Notes and of this Indenture have been duly authorized and all things necessary to make the Notes, when executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee, valid and binding legal obligations of the Issuer and to make this Indenture a valid and binding agreement have been done;

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, the covenants herein contained and the purchase of each Series of Notes by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the benefit of the parties hereto and the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Notes of such Series, as follows:

DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION; INDENTURE TO CONSTITUTE CONTRACT; AGENCY

  • Section 1.1. Definitions; Construction. (a) Capitalized terms used in this Indenture shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in Appendix A attached hereto, which Appendix A is hereby incorporated by reference herein;
  • (b) all accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with the Public Reporting Directives and guidelines of the Banking Supervision Department;
  • (c) all references in this Indenture to designated "Articles," "Sections," "Schedules," "Exhibits" and other subdivisions are to the designated Articles, Sections, Schedules, Exhibits and other subdivisions of this Indenture;
  • (d) the words "herein," "hereof" and "hereunder" and other words of similar import refer to this Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section, Exhibit or other subdivision;
  • (e) unless otherwise expressly specified, any agreement, contract or document defined or referred to herein shall mean such agreement, contract or document as in effect as of

{6}------------------------------------------------

the Issue Date, as the same may thereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and of this Indenture and including any agreement, contract or document in substitution or replacement of any of the foregoing;

  • (f) unless the context clearly intends the contrary, pronouns having a masculine or feminine gender shall be deemed to include the other;
  • (g) any reference to any person (including the Issuer) shall include its successors and assigns, and in the case of any Governmental Authority, any person succeeding to its functions and capacities; and
  • (h) any reference to "\$" shall mean U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated.
  • (i) References to any act or statute or any provision of any act or statute shall be deemed also to refer to any statutory modification or re-enactment thereof or any statutory instrument, order or regulation made thereunder or under such modification or re-enactment.
  • Section 1.2. Indenture to Constitute Contract. In consideration of the purchase and acceptance of any or all of the Notes of each Series by those who shall hold the same from time to time, the provisions of this Indenture shall be part of the contract of the Issuer with the Holders of the Notes of such Series, and shall be deemed to be and shall constitute contracts between the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders from time to time of the Notes of such Series. The provisions, covenants and agreements herein set forth to be performed by or on behalf of the Issuer shall be for the equal and ratable benefit, protection and security of the Holders of any and all of the Notes of each Series. All of the Notes of each Series, regardless of the time or times of their issuance or maturity, shall be of equal rank without preference, priority or distinction of any of the Notes of such Series over any other except as expressly provided in or pursuant to this Indenture.

THE NOTES

  • Section 2.1. Authorization, Amount, Terms and Issuance of Notes. (a) There are to be authenticated and delivered on the Issue Date (i) \$1,000,000,000 principal amount of 2029 Notes and (ii) \$1,000,000,000 principal amount of 2033 Notes. No Notes may be issued under this Indenture except in accordance with this Article 2. The Notes of each Series shall be issued in denominations of \$200,000 and any amount in excess thereof that is an integral multiple of \$1,000.
  • (b) Further Issuances. (i) The Issuer may from time to time, without notice to or consent of the Holders of the relevant Series of Notes, create and issue an unlimited principal amount of additional notes (the "Additional Notes") of the same Series of Notes. Such Additional Notes may be issued in one or more series and with the same or different ISIN or other identifying number as the outstanding Series of Notes; provided, however, that unless such Additional Notes are issued under a separate ISIN number, such Additional Notes are issued either (i) pursuant to a "qualified reopening" of the outstanding Series of Notes, (ii) with less

{7}------------------------------------------------

than a de minimis amount of original issue discount or (iii) otherwise as part of the same "issue" as the outstanding Series of Notes, in each case for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

  • (ii) Any such Additional Notes, together with the Notes of the same Series, will constitute a single series of notes under this Indenture. Other than the foregoing, there is no limitation on the amount of Notes of either Series or other debt securities that the Issuer or its Subsidiaries may issue under this Indenture and there is no restriction on the Issuer issuing notes of a different series that may have preferential rights to the Notes of either Series or notes with similar or different provisions to those described herein.
  • (iii) For the avoidance of doubt, Additional Notes of the same Series of Notes which may be issued by the Issuer, shall constitute one series and the provisions of this Indenture shall apply to the Additional Notes that may be issued as aforesaid (including that to the extent that on the date of issuance of the Additional Notes the relevant Series of Notes shall be registered for trading on the TASE-UP, the Additional Notes shall also be registered for trading on the TASE-UP and the issuance thereof shall be subject to the approval of the TASE). For the avoidance of doubt, Holders of the Additional Notes of the same Series of Notes shall not be entitled to any interest payments in respect of which the Regular Record Date has passed prior to the date of issuance of the Additional Notes.
  • (iv) To the extent the discount rate to be determined for the Additional Notes to be issued as part of a series expansion differs from the discount rate of the relevant Series of Notes outstanding as at such time (including lack of discount, if relevant), and such Additional Notes cannot be identified separately from the relevant Series of Notes, the Issuer shall apply to the Israeli Tax Authority (the "ITA"), prior to the issuance of the Additional Notes, in order to obtain its approval that, for purposes of withholding tax from the discount fees in respect of the relevant Series of Notes, a uniform discount rate shall be determined for the relevant Series of Notes based on a formula that weights the different discount rates in the relevant Series of Notes, as determined in the Weighted Discount Rate "Green Track" tax ruling number 907 (or another applicable tax ruling), if any (the "Weighted Discount Rate").
  • (v) In the event that such approval is obtained, the Issuer will calculate the Weighted Discount Rate in respect of all Notes of the relevant Series, notify the Trustee, publish an immediate report on the website (Magna) of the Israel Securities Authority (the "ISA") and the TASE announcement system (MAYA) with respect to the discount rate determined for the Additional Notes and the uniform Weighted Discount Rate for the entire Series of Notes, in close proximity after the increase of the Notes' Series and prior to the listing for trade on TASE-UP of the Additional Notes, and will withhold relevant taxes according to the Weighted Discount Rate and as required by Applicable Law. In such case, all other provisions of Applicable Law relating to taxation of discount fees shall apply. If such approval is not obtained, the Issuer shall publish an immediate report on the website (Magna) of the ISA and the TASE announcement system (MAYA), and inform the Trustee that no approval has been obtained and that the discount fee shall be the highest discount created in connection with the issuance of the

{8}------------------------------------------------

Notes' Series and shall withhold from the discount with respect to the Notes of such Series in accordance with the highest discount rate applicable to such Series.

Section 2.2. Form and Dating. (a) General. The Initial Notes of each Series and the Trustee's certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form and contain substantially the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit A (in the case of the Initial 2029 Notes) or Exhibit B (in the case of the Initial 2033 Notes). Additional Notes of each Series shall be in substantially the same form as Exhibit A and Exhibit B, as applicable, but with such changes as shall be determined by the Issuer on account of the later issuance date of such Additional Notes. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by Applicable Law, stock exchange rule or usage, including the provisions of the Applicable Procedures. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Global Notes will not bear any legend during such time as they are listed for trading on the TASE-UP. Each Note shall bear the Transfer Restriction Legend in the form set forth in Exhibit D unless such Notes are to be listed on the TASE-UP.

(b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form and contain substantially the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit A (in the case of the Initial 2029 Notes) or Exhibit B (in the case of the Initial 2033 Notes). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes of such Series as will be specified therein. Each Global Note may from time to time be replaced in accordance with the Applicable Procedures with a new Global Note in the event of a reduction or increase, as appropriate, of the amount of outstanding Notes of the relevant Series represented thereby to reflect an exchange or redemption pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. Each new Global Note shall be deposited with the Depositary and shall reflect the amount of outstanding Notes of the relevant Series represented thereby.

Notes of each Series initially offered and resold to QIBs pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or initially offered and resold in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Notes, which shall be deposited with the Depositary, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased in accordance with the Applicable Procedures by replacement of the Global Note with a new Global Note representing the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Notes of the relevant Series initially offered and resold pursuant to Rule 144A or initially offered and resold in reliance on Regulation S and deposited with the Depositary.

  • (c) Definitive Registered Notes. Definitive Registered Notes issued in exchange for a Book-Entry Interest or a Definitive Registered Note, shall be issued in accordance with this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Definitive Registered Notes will be issued substantially in the form and contain substantially the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit A (in the case of the Initial 2029 Notes) or Exhibit B (in the case of the Initial 2033 Notes).
  • (d) Book-Entry Provisions. The Applicable Procedures shall be applicable to the recordation, transfers and exchanges of Book-Entry Interests in the Global Notes held through Participants. The rules and procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream shall be applicable to any transfer or exchange of Book-Entry Interests in the Global Notes held through Euroclear

{9}------------------------------------------------

or Clearstream; provided that neither the Issuer nor the Trustee will have any obligation to monitor the application of such rules and procedures.

  • (e) Denomination. The Notes shall be issued only in minimum denominations of \$200,000 and integral multiples of \$1,000 in excess thereof.
  • Section 2.3. Execution and Authentication. (a) At least one Authorized Officer must sign the Notes of each Series for the Issuer by manual or electronic signature.
  • (i) If an Authorized Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid.
  • (ii) A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual or electronic signature of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any signature executing or purporting to execute the Notes of either Series shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Note that has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.
  • (iii) The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer signed by an Authorized Officer (an "Authentication Order"), authenticate the Notes of each Series for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes of such Series. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each Series outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such Series authorized for issuance by the Issuer pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.8 (Replacement Notes) hereof.
  • (b) The Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date shall be dated as of the Issue Date, shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount set forth in this Section 2.3 and shall have a Stated Maturity and bear interest as set forth in this Section 2.3. Notes of either Series subsequently issued pursuant to Section 2.7 (Transfer and Exchange) shall be dated as of the date of authentication thereof and shall have the same Stated Maturity and bear interest at the same rate and in the same manner as the Initial Notes of such Series (subject to adjustment for the initial interest accrual period).

On the Issue Date, the Issuer shall issue \$1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Initial 2029 Notes, which shall mature, unless earlier redeemed in full, on July 14, 2029 (the "2029 Notes Maturity Date") and shall accrue interest as set forth in this Section 2.3. Interest on the 2029 Notes will be payable at a rate per annum equal to 4.722% from (and including) the Issue Date to (but excluding) the 2029 Notes Maturity Date. On the Issue Date, the Issuer shall issue \$1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Initial 2033 Notes, which shall mature, unless earlier redeemed in full, on January 14, 2033 (the "2033 Notes Maturity Date") and shall accrue interest as set forth in this Section 2.3. Interest on the 2033 Notes will be payable at a rate per annum equal to 5.252% from (and including) the Issue Date to (but excluding) the 2033 Notes Maturity Date.

(c) (i) Interest on the 2029 Notes will be calculated and payable semiannually in arrear on January 14 and July 14 of each year, beginning on July 14, 2026 (each, a

{10}------------------------------------------------

  • "2029 Notes Interest Payment Date"). A payment made on first 2029 Notes Interest Payment Date would be in respect of the period from (and including) the Issue Date to (but excluding) July 14, 2026. If any 2029 Interest Payment Date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the 2029 Notes Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, without any adjustment and interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the scheduled 2029 Notes Interest Payment Date. (ii) Interest on the 2033 Notes will be calculated and payable semi-annually in arrear on January 14 and July 14 of each year, beginning on July 14, 2026 (each, a "2033 Notes Interest Payment Date"). A payment made on first 2033 Notes Interest Payment Date would be in respect of the period from (and including) the Issue Date to (but excluding) July 14, 2026. If any 2033 Interest Payment Date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the 2033 Notes Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, without any adjustment and interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the scheduled 2033 Notes Interest Payment Date.
  • (d) Interest on the Initial Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of an incomplete month (in the event of an early redemption or repayment), or incomplete interest period, the actual number of days elapsed on an actual/365-day count basis. The interest payable upon the first Interest Payment Date following the Issue Date will be computed and paid on an actual/365-day count basis, and interest payable on any semi-annual Interest Payment Date (including the first Interest Payment Date) will be determined based on a rate equal to one half of the annual interest rate.
  • (e) If the Issuer is required to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 5.1(d) (Taxation), the Issuer shall pay such Additional Amounts as additional interest on the relevant Series of Notes.
  • (f) If the Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment is not a Business Day, payment of interest and principal and/or any amount payable upon redemption or repayment of the applicable Series of Notes will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the Maturity Date or such date of redemption or repayment. If a Series of Notes is redeemed, unless the Issuer defaults on payment of the Redemption Price, interest will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date on the Notes of such Series called for redemption.
  • (g) Principal, interest or Additional Amounts (if any) on the Global Notes will be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Depositary through the TASECH in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the provisions of this Indenture.
  • (h) The Applicable Procedures to which payments on the Notes of each Series are subject, require that the final payment on the Notes of each Series be made only against delivery of the Global Notes or Definitive Registered Notes, as applicable.
  • (i) If the due date for any payment in respect of any Notes is not a Business Day, the holder thereof will not be entitled to payment of the amount due until the next succeeding Business Day, and will not be entitled to any further interest or other payment in respect of any such delay. If no due date is specified for the payment of any amount payable by

{11}------------------------------------------------

the Issuer hereunder, such amount will be due and payable not later than 15 days after receipt by the Issuer of a written demand from the Trustee for payment thereof.

  • Section 2.4. Notes Registrar and Paying Agent. (a) The Issuer will initially act as the paying agent (the "Paying Agent") in respect of the Notes of each Series and registrar (the "Notes Registrar") reflecting ownership of the Notes of such Series. For as long as the Notes of such Series are listed on the TASE-UP, the Issuer undertakes to only appoint a person resident, organized and with its principal place of business in the State of Israel as successor Notes Registrar. The Notes Registrar shall maintain a register reflecting ownership of Definitive Registered Notes (as defined herein) (the "Notes Register") outstanding from time to time and will make payments on and facilitate transfer of Definitive Registered Notes on behalf of the Issuer, provided that in the event the Issuer is not the Notes Registrar, the register kept by, and at the registered office of, the Issuer shall prevail in the event of any discrepancy between such register and the register held by the Notes Registrar.
  • (b) The Issuer may change the Paying Agent or Notes Registrar with prior notice to the Trustee. For so long as the Notes of either Series are listed for trading on the TASE-UP, the Issuer will publish a notice of any change of Paying Agent or Notes Registrar through the newswire service of Bloomberg, or if Bloomberg does not then operate, any similar agency or news service, and, to the extent and in the manner permitted by the Applicable Procedures, post such notice on the official website of the TASE (http://maya.tase.co.il or any successor website thereto) in accordance with Section 11.4 (Notices).
  • (c) The Issuer will use its best efforts to select a Paying Agent that is resident, organized, and with its principal place of business in either (i) the State of Israel, or (ii) any other jurisdiction, provided that for jurisdictions that are not (or are not within or under) the State of Israel, the Issuer will obtain and, reasonably prior to effecting any binding legal commitments to use such Paying Agent, have delivered to the Trustee, an opinion of independent legal or tax advisers of recognized standing chosen by the Issuer to the effect that no withholding or other taxes in excess of those applicable to payments (including non-Israeli taxes), had such payments been made by an Israeli paying agent, will be imposed by such other jurisdiction on any Holder or beneficial owner as a result of the selection of such Paying Agent.
  • Section 2.5. Paying Agent to Hold Money. The Issuer will require each Paying Agent (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer in its capacity as initial Paying Agent), prior to such appointment, to agree in writing and the Issuer, solely in its capacity as Paying Agent, hereby agrees, that such Paying Agent shall hold all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of, Additional Amounts (if any) or interest on the relevant Series of Notes in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee, and that such Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer or any other obligor of the relevant Series of Notes in making any payment and at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held by such Paying Agent. If payment on either Series of Notes is not made when it becomes due and payable, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer) shall promptly notify the Issuer that it has failed to make such payment. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or an Affiliate thereof) will have no further liability for the

{12}------------------------------------------------

money. Upon any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer (including, without limitation, its bankruptcy, voluntary or judicial liquidation, composition with creditors, reprieve from payment, controlled management, fraudulent conveyance, general settlement with creditors, reorganization or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally), the Trustee (or such other entity designated by the Trustee for this purpose) will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. A Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or an Affiliate thereof) shall not be obliged to make payments pursuant to Section 2.15 (Payments to be Made by Paying Agent; Deposit of Moneys) or Article 3 unless and until such time as it has confirmed receipt of funds sufficient to make the relevant payment.

  • (2) No service charge will be made by the Issuer or the Notes Registrar to a Holder of a Book-Entry Interest in a Global Note, a Registered Holder of a Global Note or a Holder of a Definitive Registered Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer and the Notes Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer taxes, stamp duty, stamp duty reserve, documentary or other similar tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Section 2.11 (Temporary Notes) or Article 3 (Redemption of Notes) hereof).
  • (3) The Notes Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption.
  • (4) All Definitive Registered Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Definitive Registered Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Definitive Registered Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
  • (5) All new Global Notes issued pursuant to Section 2.2(b) (Form and Dating – Global Notes) will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same

{16}------------------------------------------------

debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes surrendered upon such issuance.

  • (6) The Notes Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer into its register kept at its registered office of any Definitive Registered Notes: (A) for a period of 15 days prior to any date fixed for the redemption of the Notes under Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, as applicable; or (B) for a period of 15 days prior to the Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date. Any such transfer will be made without charge to the Holder, other than any taxes, duties and governmental charges payable in connection with such transfer.
  • (7) The Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Registered Holders as the absolute owners of the Notes of the relevant Series for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Series of Notes and for all other purposes (it being understood that payments to Holders of Book-Entry Interests shall be made through the Depositary as the Holder of the Global Notes), and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

  • (10) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.
  • Section 2.8. Replacement Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Notes Registrar or the Issuer and the Issuer receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note. An indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee and any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes of the relevant Series duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.9. Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for

{17}------------------------------------------------

cancellation and those described in this Section 2.9 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.10 (Treasury Notes) hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note; provided, however, that Notes held by the Issuer shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Article 3 hereof.

  • (a) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8 (Replacement Notes) hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Issuer receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a "protected purchaser" pursuant to Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York.
  • (b) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 5.1(a) (Affirmative Covenants—Payment of Principal of and Interest on Notes) hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.
  • (c) If a Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or an Affiliate thereof) holds, on a Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, money sufficient to pay the principal of, premium on, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.
  • Section 2.10. Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes of either Series have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes of such Series owned by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes of such Series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned will be so disregarded.
  • Section 2.11. Temporary Notes. Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.12. Cancellation. Without derogating from Section 3.5 (Repurchase Rights), any Notes held by the Issuer shall automatically be cancelled, and the Issuer shall withdraw such Notes from TASECH and deliver to the Notes Registrar a certificate of cancellation detailing all Notes redeemed or purchased by the Issuer. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes for which it has paid or that have been cancelled. The Issuer will cause any Notes so purchased and cancelled to be withdrawn from the Depositary. The Issuer undertakes to take the further steps set forth in Section 3.5 in the event that it acquires any Notes.

Section 2.13. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes of either Series, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner to the persons who are Holders of such Series on a subsequent date (each such date a "Special Record Date"),

{18}------------------------------------------------

at the rate provided in the relevant Series of Notes and this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, such payments shall be made by the Paying Agent in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 2.15 (Payments to be Made by Paying Agent; Deposit of Moneys). The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The relevant Special Record Date for payment of such defaulted interest shall be set in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. At least 15 days before a Special Record Date (unless otherwise required by the Applicable Procedures), the Issuer shall provide a notice to Holders in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, pursuant to Section 11.4 (Notices), that states such Special Record Date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.14. CUSIP; ISIN. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use a "CUSIP" number and/or an "ISIN" (or any equivalent thereof issued by the TASE) and, if so, such CUSIP number or ISIN (or any equivalent thereof issued by the TASE) shall be included in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN (or any equivalent thereof issued by the TASE) printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification details printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or exchange shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of its failure so to act.

  • (b) With respect to any Definitive Registered Notes, the Issuer, solely in its capacity as Paying Agent shall make, or cause to have made, payments to Holders of such Definitive Registered Notes by (i) wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts of such Holders listed in the register on the Stated Maturity or as notified to the Notes Registrar in writing prior to 9:30 a.m., Tel Aviv time, on the Regular Record Date for each Interest Payment Date or (ii) check mailed to the registered addresses of such Holders listed in the Notes Registrar. The Issuer shall be entitled to rely on information previously supplied to it by the Holder, unless and until such Holder provides the Issuer with written updated information.

{19}------------------------------------------------

if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment on such Interest Payment Date or Stated Maturity (or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day), as the case may be, to (i) in the case of the Notes (other than Definitive Registered Notes), the Depositary and (ii) in the case of any Definitive Registered Notes, to Holders of such Definitive Registered Notes, in each case, in accordance with Section 2.15(a) and Section 2.15(b) (Payments to be Made by Paying Agent; Deposit of Moneys). Subject to actual receipt of such funds as provided by this Section 2.15(c) by the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall make payments in accordance with Section 2.15(a) and Section 2.15(b) (Payments to be Made by Paying Agent; Deposit of Moneys).

  • (d) If and to the extent there shall be a default in the payment of principal, Additional Amounts (if any) and/or interest due with respect to any Note on any Interest Payment Date, such defaulted principal, Additional Amounts (if any) and/or interest shall be paid to the Holder in whose name such Outstanding Note is registered at the close of business on the Special Record Date determined by the Trustee as provided. The Issuer shall pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in connection with the making of payments by wire transfer.
  • (e) If no due date is specified for the payment of any amount payable by the Issuer hereunder, such amount shall be due and payable not later than 15 days after receipt by the Issuer of a written demand from the Trustee for payment thereof.

{20}------------------------------------------------

such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Section 2.16, without the execution and filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto or such Agent or successor corporation.

If any Note called for redemption is not so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer, solely in its capacity as Paying Agent, to comply with Section 3.4(b) and Section 3.4(c) or, if the Issuer or a Subsidiary no longer serves as Paying Agent, the failure of the Issuer to comply with Section 3.4(d), interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the relevant Series of Notes and in Section 5.1(a) hereof.
  • Section 3.5. Repurchase Rights. (a) The Issuer may at any time, either directly or through a Subsidiary, purchase Notes of either Series in any manner and at any price, subject to Applicable Procedures and Applicable Law and they will be cancelled and written off from trading on the TASE-UP and the Issuer will not be entitled to reissue them. The Issuer will publish an immediate report on the website (Magna) of the ISA and the TASE announcement system (MAYA) following any repurchase of Notes of such Series. Upon purchase, such Notes shall be withdrawn from the TASECH, unless purchased by an entity other than the Issuer.
  • (b) The Notes of either Series so purchased while held by or on behalf of the Issuer, shall not entitle the Holder to provide consents with respect to the Notes of such Series, and shall not be deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of calculating whether sufficient consents have been obtained in respect of any modification, amendment, supplement, request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action with respect to such Series of Notes. The Issuer shall give notice to the TASECH and shall verify that the clearing

{24}------------------------------------------------

house member has submitted to the TASECH, on the record date, data regarding the quantities held by the Issuer and the identity of the stock exchange members through which the Issuer holds the Notes of such Series, as well as waiver letters regarding the interest payments for these repurchased Notes.

Section 3.6. No Obligation to Redeem upon Delisting. The Issuer shall be under no obligation to redeem the Notes of a Series in the event of a delisting of the Notes of such Series from the TASE-UP.

RANKING

Section 4.1. Ranking. The Notes of each Series will constitute the Issuer's direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations ranking pari passu without any preference among themselves and equally with the other Series of Notes and all of the Issuer's other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations from time to time outstanding, save as otherwise provided by law.

COVENANTS

  • Section 5.1. Affirmative Covenants. With respect to each Series of Notes, the Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that, from the date of this Indenture, it shall observe and comply with, and shall cause to be observed and complied with, each and all of the following covenants until all amounts and other obligations due under this Indenture and the Notes of such Series shall have been indefeasibly paid or satisfied in full:
  • (a) Payment of Principal of and Interest on Notes. The Issuer shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, the principal of, Additional Amounts (if any) and interest on, and other amounts due in respect of, every Note of such Series issued hereunder according to the terms hereof and thereof.
  • (b) Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where notices and demands in respect of the Notes of such Series and this Indenture may be served. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the Trustee.
  • (c) Corporate Existence. The Issuer shall at all times preserve and maintain in full force and effect its existence as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Israel.
  • (d) Taxation. The Issuer or the Withholding Agent, as applicable, will make any and all payments of principal, interest and premium (if any) payable by it or its Paying Agent free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any and all present or future Tax of whatever nature imposed by or on behalf of the State of Israel or taxing

{25}------------------------------------------------

authority of the State of Israel, unless such withholding or deduction is required by Applicable Law or by regulation or governmental policy having the force of law. If any such Taxes in the State of Israel or taxing authority of the State of Israel are so withheld or deducted, the Issuer will pay such additional amounts as will result in receipt by the Holders of the relevant Series of Notes of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such Taxes in the State of Israel or taxing authority of the State of Israel been withheld or deducted (the "Additional Amounts"), except that no Additional Amounts will be payable to a Holder or a beneficial owner in respect of:

  • (i) any Taxes in the State of Israel or taxing authority of the State of Israel that would not have been imposed, deducted or withheld but for (A) the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder or a beneficial owner and the State of Israel (other than merely the holding of such Notes or receipt of interest, principal or premium in respect thereof or activities (including enforcement) incidental thereto), including, without limitation, such Holder or beneficial owner being or having been a tax resident thereof, being or having been engaged in a trade or business therein. or having or having had a permanent establishment therein or (B) the failure of the Holder or a beneficial owner (x) to comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation (including ITA Form 2402) or other reporting requirement, including requirements by the Withholding Agent or a broker or other intermediary effectuating the transaction or a financial institution through which the relevant Series of Notes are held or (y) to make and to timely deliver any duly completed and executed declaration or similar claim confirming that the holder is not an Israeli tax resident (including a claim for a refund of a Tax withheld with respect to the relevant Series of Notes), in each case of (x) and (y) that is required under Applicable Law, administrative practice or treaty of the State of Israel or taxing authority of the State of Israel as a precondition to exemption from, or the reduction in the rate of, deduction or withholding of such taxes in the State of Israel or taxing authority in the State of Israel;
  • (ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, value added, personal property or similar Tax;
  • (iii) any Tax which is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments of (or in respect of) principal of, premium (if any) or interest on the relevant Series of Notes;
  • (iv) Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the presentation of such Note (where presentation is required) for payment more than 30 days after the date payment became due or was provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder or a beneficial owner would have been entitled to the Additional Amounts on presenting the Note for payment at the close of that 30 day period;
  • (v) Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the failure to present the Note (where presentation is required) to a paying agent or a Withholding Agent for payment by or on behalf of a Holder who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the Note to another paying agent or Withholding Agent in another jurisdiction;

{26}------------------------------------------------

  • (vi) any Tax imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or current or future U.S. Treasury Regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder ("FATCA"), any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and any other jurisdiction to implement FATCA, any law, regulation or other official guidance enacted or published in any jurisdiction implementing FATCA or an intergovernmental agreement with respect thereto, or any agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service under FATCA;
  • (vii) to a Holder or beneficial owner that is (i) a "related person" to the Issuer within the meaning of paragraph 3 of the definition of "related person" in Section 88 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance of 1961 (the "Israeli Tax Ordinance"); (ii) a "substantial shareholder" of the Issuer as defined in Section 88 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance; or (iii) an employee of the Issuer, service provider to the Issuer, seller of products to the Issuer, or any Holder or beneficial owner that has special relationship with the Issuer within the meaning of Section 9(15d) of the Israeli Tax Ordinance;
  • (viii) to a non-Israeli resident Holder or a beneficial owner that is not an individual, to the extent Israeli tax residents are (i) "controlling shareholders" (as defined in Section 68A of the Israeli Tax Ordinance) of such Holder or a beneficial owner, or (ii) the beneficiaries of, or entitled to, 25% or more of the income or profits of such Holder or a beneficial owner, in each case directly or indirectly;
  • (ix) any Taxes imposed with respect to a payment under or with respect to the relevant Series of Notes where, had the beneficial owner of the applicable Note of the relevant Series been the holder of such Note, such beneficial owner would not otherwise have been entitled to payment of such Additional Amounts by reason of any of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), and (viii) above or any combination thereof; and
  • (x) any combination of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix) above.

If any Taxes are imposed on any payments on the relevant Series of Notes, the Issuer or the Withholding Agent will make such withholding or deduction as required by Applicable Law and remit the applicable amount so deducted or withheld to the relevant authority as and when required in accordance with Applicable Law. The Issuer or the Withholding Agent, as applicable, will furnish to the Trustee, within 30 days after the date on which the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is made, certified copies of Tax receipts evidencing payment by the Issuer or the Withholding Agent, as applicable, or if such receipts are not obtained, other evidence of payments by the Issuer or the Withholding Agent, as applicable.

The Issuer will promptly pay when due any present or future stamp, or documentary taxes which are imposed by the State of Israel or taxing authority of the State of Israel, in connection with the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of, or the making of payments in respect of, each Note or any other document or instrument.

Wherever in this Indenture, the Notes or the Description of the Notes there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal, purchase prices in connection with a purchase of Notes of a

{27}------------------------------------------------

Series (including any premium), interest, discount or any other amount payable on the Notes of such Series, such reference will be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts as described under this Section 5.1(d) to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

  • (e) Listing. The Issuer will obtain, and use its reasonable best efforts to maintain, listing of each Series of Notes on the TASE-UP for so long as the Notes of such Series are outstanding and such listing is necessary in order to make payments on the Notes of such Series to non-Israeli investors without withholding or deduction of Israeli taxes (unless such listing becomes unduly burdensome to make or maintain (for the avoidance of doubt, preparation of financial statements in accordance with any accounting standard other than the Public Reporting Directives and guidelines of the Banking Supervision Department and any other standard pursuant to which the Issuer then prepares its financial statements shall be deemed unduly burdensome)). If the Notes of either Series cease to be listed or are expected to cease to be listed on the TASE-UP, the Issuer will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and maintain the listing of such Series of Notes on another recognized exchange that is regulated by Israel or take other steps that would enable payments on the Notes of such Series to non-Israeli investors to be made without withholding or deduction of Israeli taxes.
  • (f) Further Assurances. The Issuer shall execute and deliver, from time to time as reasonably requested by the Trustee or as necessary, at the Issuer's expense, such other documents in connection with the rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders granted or provided for by this Indenture in order to consummate the transactions contemplated therein.
  • (g) Statement by Officers as to Default. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within five Business Days after the Issuer becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default, an Officers' Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default and the action which the Issuer proposes to take with respect thereto.
  • (h) Statement as to Compliance. The Issuer shall, upon request, furnish to the Trustee a statement as to the Issuer's compliance with all conditions and covenants under the Indenture.
  • (i) No Limitation on Dividends. For the avoidance of doubt, neither this Indenture nor the Notes contain any restriction on the Issuer's ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to its shareholders or to buyback any of its shares.
  • Section 5.2. Negative Covenants. With respect to each Series of Notes, the Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that from the date of this Indenture, it shall observe and comply with, and shall cause to be observed and complied with, each and all of the following covenants until all amounts and other obligations due under this Indenture and the Notes of such Series shall have been indefeasibly paid or satisfied in full:
  • (a) Limitation on Consolidation, Merger or Transfer of Assets. The Issuer will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to, any person (other than a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer, where the Issuer is the surviving entity in such transaction), unless:

{28}------------------------------------------------

  • (i) the resulting, surviving or transferee person (if not the Issuer) will be a person organized and existing under the laws of Israel, the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, the United Kingdom, any other country that is a member state of the European Union or of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and such person (if not the Issuer) expressly assumes, by Supplemental Indenture to this Indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture (including paying Additional Amounts, if any);
  • (ii) the resulting, surviving or transferee person (if not the Issuer), if organized under the laws of a country other than Israel, undertakes, in such Supplemental Indenture, to pay such additional amounts in respect of principal and interest as may be necessary in order that every payment made in respect of the Notes after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by such other country or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein will not be less than the amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest then due and payable on the Notes, subject to the same exceptions set forth under Section 5.1(d) (Taxation) but replacing existing references in such section to Israel with references to such other country;
  • (iii) immediately prior to such transaction and immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing; and
  • (iv) the Issuer will have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from international legal counsel of recognized standing, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such Supplemental Indenture, if any, comply with this Indenture.

The Trustee shall accept such Officers' Certificates and Opinions of Counsel as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 5.2(a) in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

Upon any consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the Issuer's assets in accordance with this Section 5.2(a) the successor company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such successor company had been named as the Issuer herein and thereafter the Issuer shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Notes; provided that, in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets, the Issuer will not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes.

For the purposes of this Section 5.2(a), "substantially all of its assets" means an amount of assets of the Issuer with a total aggregate value in excess of 50% of the Issuer's total assets based on its latest financial statements.

{29}------------------------------------------------

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

Section 6.1. Events of Default. An "Event of Default" with respect to the Notes of either Series shall result if:

  • (a) The Issuer does not pay any principal or interest on the Notes of such Series within seven days from the due date for payment and fails to remedy that breach within 14 days from the due day of payment;
  • (b) The Issuer breaches a covenant as set forth in Article 5 in relation to such Series of Notes (other than as stated above at (a) with respect to payments when due) and such breach has not been remedied for the period of 45 days following the service by the Trustee on the Issuer of notice certifying that, in its opinion, the breach is materially prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of the Notes of such Series and requiring the same to be remedied;
  • (c) (i) a liquidator or a temporary or permanent trustee or any other officer with similar powers and authority is appointed in respect of the Issuer, in accordance with the provisions of the Israeli Insolvency and Economic Rehabilitation Law, 5778-2018 (the "Insolvency Law") or if an order to appoint a temporary or permanent liquidator is issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, or if an order or ruling is issued by a court of competent jurisdiction for the liquidation of the Issuer (except for such an appointment, and the actions by such person, or such an order in connection with a transaction that is not prohibited by the covenant described in Section 5.2(a) above, and (ii) such appointment, order or decision is not revoked within 30 days of being issued, provided that such cure period shall not apply in the event that (w) a permanent and final liquidation order is issued by the court, (x) a permanent liquidator or trustee is appointed in respect of the Issuer under a permanent and final order, (y) the Issuer adopts a voluntary liquidation resolution and/or (z) in respect of petitions or orders filed or issued, as applicable, by the Issuer or with its consent. For the purposes of this section, the term "trustee" shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in Section 4 of the Insolvency Law;
  • (d) (i) a temporary and/or permanent receiver is appointed in respect of the Issuer and/or material assets, as defined below, or (ii) an officer with similar powers under the Insolvency Law is appointed by the court and such appointment is not revoked within 30 days, provided that such cure period shall not apply if (x) a permanent receiver is appointed or (y) in respect of petitions or orders filed or granted, as applicable, by the Issuer or with its consent;
  • (e) an attachment is imposed on material assets of the Issuer or if such material assets are foreclosed upon and such attachment is not removed or such foreclosure is not cancelled within 45 days, provided that such cure period shall not apply in respect of petitions or orders obtained or granted, as applicable, by the Issuer or with its consent; or
  • (f) (i) the Issuer files a motion for the stay of proceedings, or a motion has been filed by the Issuer to initiate proceedings under the Insolvency Law, or a stay of proceedings order has been given to the Issuer under the Insolvency Law, or the Issuer files an application to reach an arrangement or settlement with its creditors pursuant to Section 350 of

{30}------------------------------------------------

the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law") and/or the Insolvency Law except, in each case, in connection with (a) a transaction that is not prohibited by the covenant described in Section 5.2(a) above, (b) a reorganization or change in structure of the Issuer and/or the Group, including through a spin-off and/or (c) arrangements between the Issuer and its shareholders that do not affect the Issuer's ability to repay the Notes of such Series and which are not prohibited under the terms of the Indenture; or (ii) a motion under Section 350 of the Companies Law or a motion pursuant to the provisions of the Insolvency Law is filed against the Issuer (without its consent) and is not denied or rescinded within 45 (forty-five) days of the date of filing.

For the purpose of this Section 6.1, a "material part of its assets" and "material assets of the Issuer" each mean an amount of assets of the Issuer with a total aggregate value in excess of 50% of the Issuer's total assets based on its latest financial statements. An Event of Default with respect to the Notes of a Series shall not necessarily constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of the other Series. The remedies available to the Trustee and the holders upon an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of a Series shall be exercisable only with respect to the Notes of such Series and shall not constitute a default or event permitting acceleration with respect to the Notes of the other Series.

Section 6.2. Acceleration. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Holders of at least 50% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes of a Series may, at their discretion, request that the Trustee, within 30 days of receiving the Holders' request (provided that such period may be shortened at the Trustee's discretion), declare the Notes of such Series to be due and repayable immediately (and the Notes of such Series shall thereby become due and repayable) at their outstanding principal amount together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, due on the Notes of such Series. The calling for immediate repayment of the Notes of such Series in accordance with the terms of the Indenture shall not affect or impair any remedy or right of the Holders under any law or under the terms of this Indenture.

If the terms of any of the Events of Default listed above include a cure period during which the Issuer is permitted to remedy its default, the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes of the relevant Series are permitted to call the Notes of such Series for immediate repayment, as stated in the immediately preceding paragraph, only if the aforesaid cure period has elapsed and the default is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee is permitted to shorten the applicable cure period if it believes that a delay in the exercise of their call for immediate repayment may materially impair the rights of the Holders.

Without derogating the immediately preceding paragraph, the Trustee's and the Holders' ability to declare the Notes of either Series to be due and repayable immediately is subject to the Holders of the Notes of such Series or the Trustee, as applicable, giving seven days' advance notice to the Issuer of their intention to do so, provided that the Trustee and the Holders shall not be required to provide such notice if there is reasonable concern that giving such notice will prejudice their ability to declare the Notes of such Series due and repayable immediately.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes of either Series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount

{31}------------------------------------------------

of the Notes of such Series then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer, may rescind and annul such declarations of acceleration and its consequences if:

  • (a) all Events of Default with respect to the Notes of such Series have been remedied; and
  • (b) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:
  • (i) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) Notes of such Series which have become due and payable otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any due and payable interest, and overdue interest, if any, thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in Notes of such Series; and
  • (ii) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

  • Section 6.3. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the relevant Series of Notes at the time outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes of such Series, waive any past Event of Default or any past default hereunder with respect to the Notes of such Series and its consequences, except a default:
  • (i) in the payment of any principal or any installment of interest on any Notes of such Series, or
  • (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Article 8 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of at least 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.4. Trustee's Duties. The Issuer shall deliver written notice to the Trustee as soon as practicable but no later than thirty (30) days of becoming aware of the occurrence of an Event of Default. In case of an Event of Default under this Indenture of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes of either Series, the Trustee will have no obligation to take any action at the direction of any Holders of the Notes of such Series, unless they have offered the Trustee security or indemnity

{32}------------------------------------------------

satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion. The Majority Holders of such Series, through a decision taken by the Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.1 (Acts of Holders), shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding in the name of and on the behalf of the Trustee for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such Series of Notes. However, this direction (a) must not be in conflict with any rule of Applicable Law or this Indenture and (b) must not be unjustly prejudicial to the Holder(s) of such Series of Notes not taking part in the direction, in the case of either (a) or (b) as determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion.

The Trustee will, within ninety (90) days of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of either Series, give to each affected Holder of such Series of Notes notice of any Event of Default known to the Trustee, unless the Event of Default has been cured or waived.

Section 6.5. Judicial Proceedings Instituted by Trustee.

(a) Collection of Indebtedness; Trustee Entitled to Bring Suit. Subject to Section 11.12 (Limitation of Liability), if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to Notes of either Series, then the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, subject to Section 7.1 (Acts of Holders), shall be entitled and empowered to institute any suits, actions or other proceedings at law and in equity or otherwise for the collection of the sums due and unpaid in respect of the Notes of such Series, and may prosecute such claim or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in any manner provided by Applicable Law, whether before or after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of any of the Trustee's rights or the rights of the Holders under this Indenture, and such power of the Trustee shall not be affected by any sale hereunder or by the exercise of any other right, power or remedy for the enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture.

(b) Trustee May File Proofs of Claim; Appointment of Trustee as Attorney-in-Fact in Judicial Proceedings.

(i) Subject to Section 11.12 (Limitation of Liability), the Trustee, in its own name, as trustee of an express trust or as attorney-in-fact for the Holders, or in any one or more of such capacities (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes of either Series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand for the payment of overdue principal, Additional Amounts (if any), or interest), shall be entitled and empowered to (x) file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and take any other actions authorized under Applicable Law as necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the Holders (whether such claims be based upon the provisions of the Notes or of this Indenture) allowed in any judicial proceeding relating to the Issuer, the creditors of the Issuer or any such obligor, or any other property of the Issuer or such obligor (each such proceeding, for purposes of this clause (b), a "Proceeding") and (y) collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and distribute the same. Any receiver, assignee, trustee or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event the Trustee shall consent to the

{33}------------------------------------------------

making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

  • (ii) The Trustee is hereby granted the authority to:
  • (1) make and file in the names of the Holders (subject to deduction from any such claims of the amounts of any claims filed by any of the Holders themselves) any claim, proof of claim or amendment thereof, debt, proof of debt or amendment thereof, petition or other document in any Proceeding, and receive payment of any amounts distributable on account thereof;
  • (2) execute any and all papers and documents and do and perform any and all acts and things for and on behalf of the Holders as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the respective claims of the Trustee and the Holders against the Issuer or any other property of the Issuer or such obligor allowed in any Proceeding; and
  • (3) receive payment of or on account of such claims and debt.
  • (iii) No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to give the Trustee any right to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any Proceeding or to otherwise change or waive in any way the rights of any Holder in any Proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors' or other similar committee.
  • (iv) Any monies collected by the Trustee under this clause (b) shall be applied as provided in Section 6.10 (Application of Monies Collected by Trustee).
  • (c) Trustee Need Not Have Possession of Notes. Subject to Applicable Law, all proofs of claim, rights of action and rights to assert claims under this Indenture or under any of the Notes of either Series may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of the Notes of such Series or the production thereof at any trial or other proceedings instituted by the Trustee. In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes of either Series to which the Trustee shall be a party), the Trustee shall be held to represent all of the Holders of such Series of Notes and it shall not be necessary to make any such Holders parties to such proceedings.
  • (d) Suit to be Brought for the Ratable Benefit of Holders. Subject to the other provisions of this Indenture, any suit, action or other proceeding at law, in equity or otherwise which shall be instituted by the Trustee under any of the provisions of this Indenture or the Notes of either Series shall be for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all of the Holders of such Series of Notes.
  • (e) Restoration of Rights and Remedies. In case the Trustee shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Indenture or the Notes

{34}------------------------------------------------

of either Series by foreclosure, entry or otherwise and such proceedings shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and any Agent shall be restored to its former positions hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of the Trustee, any Agent and the Holders of such Series of Notes shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

  • (f) Right to Participate in Defense. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Trustee from participating in any defense of any claim brought against it, even if defense against such claim is assumed by an indemnifying party.
  • (g) Exculpation of Trustee in Exercise of Remedies. In the exercise of remedies, if the terms of this Indenture permit the Trustee to sell or liquidate the assets of the trust, the Trustee shall not be liable for any decline in value or loss realized as a result of the sale of the trust assets in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.
  • Section 6.6. Control by Holders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture or the Notes to be given or taken by Holders of the relevant Series of Notes (collectively, an "Act" of such Holders, which term also shall refer to the instruments or record evidencing or embodying the same), including any Act for which a specified percentage of the principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of such Series is required, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such percentage of Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing or, alternatively, may be embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders of Outstanding Notes of such Series voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of this Article 7, or a combination of such instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments of record are delivered to the Trustee and, when specifically required herein or under the Notes, to the Issuer. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and the Notes and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 7.1. Any record of any meeting of Holders shall be proved in the manner set forth in Section 7.7 (Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meeting).

{38}------------------------------------------------

  • (b) Subject to the Applicable Procedures, the fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the certificate of any public or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds or administer oaths that the person executing such instrument acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or other such officer, and where such execution is by an officer of a corporation, association or partnership, on behalf of such corporation, association or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such officer's authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
  • (c) The Trustee may rely on the Notes Register to determine the principal amount and identification details of the Outstanding Notes of either Series held by any person, and the date or dates of holding the same and the Trustee shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.

  • (e) Until such time as written instruments shall have been delivered with respect to the requisite percentage of principal amount of Outstanding Notes of the relevant Series for the Act contemplated by such instruments, any such instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of a Holder of Outstanding Notes of such Series may be revoked with respect to any or all of such Notes by written notice by such Holder (or its duly appointed agent) or any subsequent Holder (or its duly appointed agent), proven in the manner in which such instrument was proven unless such instrument is by its terms expressly irrevocable. In determining whether the requisite percentage or a majority in principal amount of Holders of Outstanding Notes of the relevant Series has joined in any Act of Holders, (i) the percentage of Holders of Outstanding Notes of such Series voting and (ii) the manner in which such Holders of Notes of such Series have voted shall be as notified by the Trustee to the Issuer.
  • (f) Notes authenticated and delivered after any Act of Holders may, and shall if required by the Issuer, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any action taken by such Act of Holders.

  • (g) The Trustee shall fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to sign any instrument evidencing or embodying an Act of Holders.

{39}------------------------------------------------

persons who were Holders of such Series at such record date (or their duly appointed agents), shall be entitled to sign any such instrument evidencing or embodying an Act of Holders or to revoke any such instrument previously signed, whether or not such persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such instrument shall be valid or effective if signed more than 90 days after such record date, and may be revoked as provided in clause (e) of this Section 7.1.

Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 7.1 (Acts of Holders) or other proof. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Outstanding Notes of the relevant Series shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 7.1 (Acts of Holders) and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in said Section 7.1 (Acts of Holders) or by having the signature of the person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any bank, banker, trust company or firm satisfactory to the Trustee.
  • (b) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Issuer or by Holders of either Series as provided in Section 7.4 (The Issuer May Call Meeting), in which case the Issuer or the Holders of such Series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman.

An Advance Ballot may be revoked by the Holder by written notice delivered to the Trustee prior to the deadline for submission of Advance Ballots, or by attending the meeting and voting directly. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two (2) inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken at such meeting and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 7.3 (Call of Meetings by Trustee). The record shall show the identification details of the Outstanding Notes voting in favor of or against any resolution. The record shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Issuer and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.

{42}------------------------------------------------

  • Section 7.9. Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Outstanding Notes. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.2 (Certain Rights of Trustee) and Section 7.6 (Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meeting) hereof, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any person of any of the Outstanding Notes of either Series shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:
  • (a) Subject to the Applicable Procedures, the fact and date of the execution by any such person of any instrument may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds to be recorded in any State within the United States, as applicable, that the person executing such instrument acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or other such officer. Where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or association or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation, association or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee may deem sufficient.
  • (b) The ownership of Notes of either Series may be proved by the Notes Register or by a certificate of the Notes Registrar or, for as long as the Notes of such Series are listed for trading on the TASE-UP, by a proof of ownership issued to the Holder by the respective TASE member through which the Notes of such Holder are held.
  • (c) If the Issuer shall solicit from the Holders of Outstanding Notes of either Series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, the Issuer shall fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of Outstanding Notes of such Series entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, but the Issuer shall have no obligation to do so. Such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent and waiver or other act may be sought or given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of Outstanding Notes of such Series of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be the Holders of Notes of such Series for the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Notes of such Series have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Notes of such Series shall be computed as of such record date.
  • (d) The Trustee may require such additional proof, if any, of any matter referred to in this Section 7.9 hereof as it shall deem necessary.
  • (e) The record of any Holders' meeting shall be proved as provided in Section 7.7 (Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meeting) hereof.
  • Section 7.10. Notes Owned by Certain Persons Deemed Not Outstanding.

{43}------------------------------------------------

the purpose of any such determination except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Notes of such Series for which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actually received written notice of such ownership shall be so disregarded. The Issuer shall furnish the Trustee, upon its reasonable request, with an Officers' Certificate listing and identifying all Notes of such Series, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described persons, and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers' Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that the Notes of such Series not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. Notes of either Series so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 7.10 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee that the pledgee has the right to vote such Notes and that the pledgee is not an Affiliate of the Issuer. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee, taken upon the advice of counsel, shall be full protection to the Trustee.

Section 7.11. Right of Revocation of Action Taken; Acts of Holders Binding. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 7.1 (Acts of Holders), of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of either Series specified in this Indenture or the Notes of such Series in connection with such action, any Holder of a Note of such Series the identification details of which is shown by evidence to be included in the Outstanding Notes of such Series the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 7.1 (Acts of Holders), revoke such action so far as concerns such Note. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any outstanding Note of such Series shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note, and of any Note issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Notes issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of either Series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Notes of such Series affected by such action.

The Issuer further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Issuer, at its address referred to in Section 11.4(b) (Notices), such service to become effective 30 days after such mailing.

  • (d) The Issuer agrees that, if a judgment or order given or made by any court for the payment of any amount in respect of any Note is expressed in a currency (the "judgment currency") other than the currency (the "denomination currency") in which such Note is denominated or in which such amount is payable, it will indemnify the relevant Holder of such Note against any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange between

{59}------------------------------------------------

the date as of which the amount in the denomination currency is notionally converted into the amount in the judgment currency for the purposes of such judgment or order and the date of actual payment thereof.

Section 11.17. Form of Certificates and Opinions Delivered to Trustee. (a) In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons may certify or give an opinion as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but shall not be required to, be consolidated and form one instrument.

  • (b) Any Officers' Certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of any Person may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows or has reason to believe that the certificate or opinion of or representations by such counsel with respect to the matters upon which such Officers' Certificate or opinion of such officer is based are erroneous.
  • (c) Any certificate of counsel or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters or information which is in the possession of any Person, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Authorized Officer of such Person.

Patriot Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

{62}------------------------------------------------

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amounts due and payable to any Holder of the Notes by the Issuer in respect of, or arising under, the Notes of such Series or this Indenture are discharged by set-off, such Holder shall, subject to Applicable Law, immediately pay to the Issuer an amount equal to the amount of such discharge (or, in the event of the Issuer's winding-up or administration, the Issuer's liquidator or administrator, as the case may be) and, until such time as payment is made, shall hold an amount equal to such amount in trust for the Issuer (or the Issuer's liquidator or administrator, as the case may be) and, accordingly, any such discharge shall be deemed not to have taken place. By its acquisition of the Notes of either Series, each Holder agrees to be bound by these provisions relating to waiver of set-off.

Section 11.22. Electronic Signatures and Delivery of Documents.

  • (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, any Officer's Certificate, Opinion of Counsel, request, direction, instruction, notice, waiver, consent or other document or instrument required or permitted to be delivered to the Trustee under this Indenture (collectively, "Transaction Documents") may be executed and delivered by electronic mail (including in PDF) or other electronic transmission.
  • (b) The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any Transaction Document delivered electronically as if it were an original manually signed document, and shall have no duty to verify or inquire as to the authenticity of any signature or the authority of the signatory.
