|
| 5.1. |
The Company reserves the right to issue, subject to the provisions of the law, at any time (whether by a private offering or an offering to the public), at its sole discretion, to any factor whatsoever, including to an
Affiliated Holder, and without needing the consent of the Trustee and/or the Debenture Holders, debentures of another series or additional series of Debentures (hereinafter: the “Other Series”) or
other securities, under those terms of redemption, interest, linkage, priority of payment in the event of liquidation and other terms, including securing them in collaterals, as the Company shall see fit, and whether they are preferable
over the terms of the Debentures, equal to them or inferior to them, and this without derogating from the duty of repayment imposed on it in accordance with this Deed. Despite the foregoing, inasmuch as the Company shall issue an
additional series of debentures, and this additional series shall not be secured by collaterals (and so long as it is not secured by collaterals), the rights of the additional series upon liquidation shall not be preferable to those of
the Debentures (Series C). The Company shall provide the Trustee with a written confirmation, no later than 7 days prior to the issuance of an additional series as stated, regarding its meeting the conditions set forth in this clause,
signed by the Company CEO or the senior financial officer in the Company. Without derogation from the foregoing, the Company’s stated rights do not detract from the Trustee’s rights to inspect the implications of an issuance as stated,
and does not detract from the rights of the Trustee and/or Debenture Holders in accordance with this Deed, including their right to make the Debentures (Series C) immediately repayable in accordance with the provisions of the Deed of
Trust.
|
| 5.2. |
The Company shall be entitled, from time to time, without the need for obtaining the approval of the Trustee and/or the current Holders at that time, to issue additional Debentures (Series C) (whether by private offering, whether in
the framework of a prospectus, whether by shelf offering report or any other way), including to an Affiliated Holder (as the term is defined in clause 4.2 of the Deed), for any price and at any manner as it shall see fit, provided that it
notifies the Trustee in this regard. The Company shall approach the Stock Exchange in a request to register the additional Debentures (Series C) for trade as stated.
Despite the stated in this clause 5.2 above, the Company shall not be entitled to issue, whether by issuance to the public according to a prospectus, and whether in any other manner,
additional Debentures of Series C, unless all of the terms set forth in Appendix 5.2 of this Deed have been fulfilled or after receiving the approval of the Debenture Holders Meeting at
the majority required for the purpose of adopting a Special Resolution, provided that for the purpose of adopting the resolution, the legal quorum shall be determined in accordance with the provisions applying to an Ordinary Resolution.
For the avoidance of doubt it shall be clarified, that all of the provisions of the Deed of Trust that apply to the Debentures in Circulation shall apply to additional Debentures of Series C that shall be
issued, as mentioned, and the existing Debentures of Series C and the additional Debentures of that series (as of the time of their issuance) shall constitute a single series for all matters and purposes, and the Deed of Trust shall
also apply to all additional Debentures (Series C) as stated. For the avoidance of doubt, holders of additional Debentures of Series C, which shall be issued in a series expansion as mentioned, shall not be entitled to payment of any
Principal and/or interest and/or any other payment that the record date for payment is prior to their date of their issuance. (It is clarified, in this respect, that in the event that additional Debentures of Series C shall be issued,
after any time that entitlement has been stipulated in this Deed to the payment of interest, the interest for them shall be paid at the next payment date of interest, after the date of their issue, for the period from the date of
their issue, at a relative rate from the payment of interest paid for the Debentures at that time, that is equal to the ratio between the period that passed from the time of their issue and between the original period for which the
interest is paid at that time). Subject to the provisions of any law and the Deed of Trust, the Trustee shall hold office as trustee for the Debentures (Series C), as they shall be from time to time in circulation, even in case of a
series expansion, and the Trustee’s consent for his office as stated pertaining to the expanded series shall not be required.
The Company’s right to expand a series, as stated above, does not detract from the Trustee’s right to inspect the implications of an issuance as stated, and does not detract from the rights of the Trustee
and/or the Debenture Holders in accordance with this Deed, including their right to make the Debentures (Series C) immediately repayable in accordance with the provisions of the Deed of Trust.
|
| 5.3. |
Without derogating from the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to issue additional Debentures of Series C, by way of series expansion at a different discount rate from that of the Debentures (Series C) which shall be in
circulation at that time (inasmuch as there shall be any). If the discount rate which shall be determined for the Debentures (Series C) due to the series expansion shall be different from the discount rate of the Debentures (Series C) in
Circulation at that time (inasmuch as there shall be any), the Company shall approach the tax authority, prior to expanding the series, in order to obtain its approval that with regards to withholding tax from the discount fees for the
Debentures, the Debentures shall be set a uniform discount rate in accordance with a formula weighting the various discount rates in the Debentures (Series C), inasmuch as there shall be any. In the event of receiving an approval as
stated, the Company shall calculate the weighted discount rate for all the Debentures from the series after expanding the series, it shall publish in an Immediate Report the uniform weighted discount rate for the entire series of
Debentures and the members of the Stock Exchange shall deduct tax at the payment dates of the Debentures according to the weighted discount rate as mentioned an in accordance with the provisions of the law. If an approval of the tax
authorities regarding such discount rates shall not be received, the Company shall notify in an Immediate Report, prior to issuing the Debentures as a result of expanding the series, of not receiving the approval as stated and that the
uniform discount rate will be the highest discount rate that was created for the series. The members of the Stock Exchange shall deduct withholding tax at the time of repayment of the Debentures in Circulation, in accordance with the
discount rate that shall be reported as aforementioned. Therefore, there may be cases where the Company shall deduct withholding tax for discount fees, at a higher rate than the discount fees determined to whoever held Debentures before
the series was expanded. In this case, it is the responsibility of the Debenture Holder (and the Debenture Holder only) who held the Debentures before the series was expanded and until their repayment and who is entitled, in light of
their payment, to a refund of withholding tax, for the over-discount, to submit a report to the tax authority on this matter insofar as he shall wish to receive a tax refund as stated and inasmuch as he is entitled to a tax refund by law.
|
| 5.4. |
The Company shall notify in an Immediate Report regarding the issuance of debentures as mentioned in this clause above.

|
| 7.3. |
The Debentures issued under a certain series shall be equal in priority (pari passu) between them, without any right of preference or priority of one over the other.
|
| 7.4. |
Notwithstanding the aforesaid in clause 7.2 above, for as long as the Debentures (Series C) have not yet been fully repaid in any manner, including by way of a self-purchase and/or early redemption, the Company undertakes not to create
a floating charge on all of its assets and rights, existing and future, in favor of any third party to secure any debt or undertaking and this is as opposed to a fixed charge or floating charge on a certain asset or a floating charge on a
certain number of assets that the Company may create. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the Company shall be entitled to create a floating charge on all of its assets in favor of a third party, in each one of the following cases:
|
| (1) |
A receipt in advance of the consent of the Debenture Holders (Series C), which shall be adopted in a Special Resolution in the Meeting of the Debenture Holders;
|
| (2) |
The Company shall create, in favor of Holders of Debentures (Series C) together with creating the floating charge on all of its assets in favor of the third party, a floating charge on all of its assets also in favor of the Holders of
Debentures (Series C) of the same priority, pari passu, which shall remain in force up to the date of removing the charge which shall be registered in favor of the third party, and this is as long as outstanding Debentures (Series C)
shall exist (namely, as long as they were not fully paid or removed in any manner, including by way of a self-purchase and/or early redemption); or
|
- 14 -
| (3) |
The Company shall make available in favor of the Holders of Debentures (Series C), by the Trustee, an irrevocable autonomous bank guarantee which shall be issued by bank/s or financial institution/s in Israel, rated at no less than
ilAA (in the rating of Standard & Poor’s or an equivalent rating), at a total equaling the amount guaranteed by the floating charge created in favor of the third party, or a total constituting the non-paid balance of the debt to
Holders of Debentures (Series C), taking into account the amount of the interest until the date of the final repayment of the Debentures, according to the lower of them at the time of creating the pledge.
Despite the foregoing, it is clarified that the Company’s undertaking to not create a floating charge shall not apply to any of the following actions and pledges and that the Company has the right, at any
time (subject to the restrictions according to any law and/or any other agreement that the Company is party to), to: (a) pledge its assets, including its rights, in whole or in part, by any other pledge except for a floating charge on
all of its assets, including, but not limited to, fixed pledges, including the creation of floating charges on specific assets, one or more, of the Company with respect to creating these charges (and bank accounts that can be pledged by
a floating charge even without a fixed charge); (b) create a floating charge on all Company assets to guarantee the recycling (or re-recycling) of a loan guaranteed by a floating charge on all Company assets (and which met upon its
creation, one or more of the conditions set forth in clauses 7.4(1) to 7.4(3) above), provided that the debt guaranteed by the new pledge as stated shall not exceed the unpaid balance of the debt guaranteed by the original debt; and (c)
pledge on assets or rights purchased (or which shall be purchased) in a way that they were pledged prior to their purchase.
It is clarified that all fixed charges and/or floating charges set forth in this clause shall be detracted from the applicability of a floating charge insofar as this shall be imposed according to the
provisions of this sub-clause above.
Except for the aforesaid no restrictions shall apply to the Company in imposing all kinds of charges on its assets.
It is clarified that the stated in this sub-clause 7.4 does not limit the Company in selling its assets and/or its businesses (without detracting from the stated in clause 9.1 of this Deed and from the
provisions of this Deed). It is further clarified, for the avoidance of doubt, that this clause cannot restrict the companies held by the Company (including subsidiaries and affiliates) from creating any charges, floating or fixed, on
their assets, including on all of their assets.
The Company declares that as of the date of signing this Deed, there is no floating charge in favor of a third party on all of the Company’s assets. As of the date of signing this Deed there are charges on
the assets of the subsidiaries of the Company in the framework of project financing, pledges on deposits in the framework of hedging transactions and additional pledges to Discount Bank as set forth in Note 14 of the Company’s financial
statements as of December 31, 2018, included in the annual report which the Company filed with the Israeli Securities Authority on March 31, 2019.
The Company undertakes that if it shall create a floating charge on all of its assets in accordance with the exceptions set forth above, it shall notify the Trustee on the matter prior to creating the
pledge, and shall specify in its notice, the clause due to which the Company is entitled to create a pledge as stated.
|
- 15 -
| 7.5. |
If and insofar as a floating charge shall be given as a security, as mentioned in clause 7.4 above, the following provisions shall apply:
|
| (a) |
The existence of a cause to declare the Debentures immediately payable and/or the realization of Collaterals is a preliminary condition to realizing a floating charge as mentioned.
|
| (b) |
The Trustee shall be entitled to enforce a floating charge before immediate repayment has been declared for the Debentures, in accordance with Section 35J1 of the Law or subject to adopting a decision of performing realizations in a
resolution that shall be adopted by the Meeting of the Debenture Holders in accordance with the provisions of clause 9.7 of this Deed.
|
| (c) |
Enforcing the floating charge shall be performed in a manner that is expected according to the Trustee’s reasonable assessment to maximize the realization consideration from the floating charge and for this purpose the Trustee shall be
entitled, subject to law, to determine the manner of enforcing this floating charge and the time when the floating charge should be enforced (hereinafter: the “Manner of Enforcing the Collaterals”).
Without derogating from any right that the Trustee has according to any law, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive instructions with respect to the Manner of Enforcing the Collaterals also by a Special
Resolution that shall be adopted in a Meeting of the Debenture Holders, on the agenda of which is the giving of instructions to the Trustee regarding the Manner of Enforcing the Collaterals. The Meeting of the Debenture Holders as
mentioned, shall be entitled to authorize a representing body of the Debenture Holders for advising the Trustee regarding the Manner of Enforcing the Collaterals.
Whenever the Company shall create a charge as mentioned in this sub-clause in favor of the Debenture Holders, and this is a charge that requires registration in the Registry of Charges managed at the

of the early redemption in accordance with the provisions in clause 8.2.5 hereinafter. Upon making a partial early redemption, the Company shall pay the Holders of Debentures (Series C) the interest accumulated for the part paid

| 8.2.4 |
Early redemption shall not be made to part of the series of Debentures if the last redemption sum shall be less than 3.2 million NIS.

of the original series; (3) The interest rate in partial redemption of the redeemed part; (4) The interest rate that shall be paid in partial redemption calculated regarding the unpaid balance; (5) Update of the rate of the partial
redemptions remaining, in terms of the original series; (6) The record date for entitlement to receive early redemption of the Principal of a Debentures that shall be six (6) days before the date scheduled for early redemption (it is
clarified that if the record date for entitlement to receive partial redemption shall occur in a quarter during which there is the payment of current interest, the record date for entitlement to receive partial redemptions shall occur on
the record date for receiving the payment of current interest that shall be paid during that quarter).
|
| 8.2.6 |
Prior to making an early redemption as stated in this clause, the Company shall give the Trustee an approval signed by a senior officer in the Company, confirming its meeting (or its failure to meet) the financial standards set forth
in Appendix 6.2 of the Deed.
|
| 8.2.7 |
The sum that shall be paid to the Debenture Holders in the event of early redemption shall be the highest sum out of the following: (1) the market value of the balance of the Debentures in Circulation, which shall be determined
according to the average close price of the Debentures in the thirty (30) Trading Days prior to the date the resolution of the board of directors was adopted regarding the performance of early redemption; (2) the undertaking value of the
Debentures in Circulation that are subject to early redemption, in other words Principal plus interest (including interest in arrears inasmuch as there shall be any), up to the date of the actual early redemption; (3) the balance of cash
flow of the Debentures (Series C) that are subject to early redemption (Principal plus interest and interest in arrears inasmuch as there shall be any) capitalized according to the Government Debentures Yield (as defined below) plus an
annual interest rate of 1.75%. Capitalization of the Debentures (Series C) that are subject to early redemption shall be calculated commencing from the early redemption date up to the last redemption date that was determined with respect
to the Debentures (Series C) that are subject to early redemption.
|
- 19 -
|
For this matter: “Government Debenture Yield” means the weighted average return (gross) for redemption, in a period of seven Business Days, that ends two Business Days prior to the date of notice of
early redemption, of two series of governmental debentures with an average duration closest to the average duration of the Debentures (Series C) at the relevant time.
For example: if the average duration of government debenture A is four (4) years, the average duration of government debenture B is two (2) years and the average duration of the balance of cash flow
for the Debentures (series C) up for early repayment (Principal with the addition of interest) is three and a half (3.5) years, the weighted average yield of the government debentures will be calculated as follows:
4x + 2(1-x) = 3.5
Where:
x – weight of the yield of government debenture A
(1-x) – weight of the yield of government debenture B
According to the calculation in the example specified above, the annual yield of government debenture A will be weighted at the rate of seventy five percent (75%) from the “yield” and the annual yield
of government debenture B will be weighted at a rate of twenty five percent (25%) of the “yield”.
|
| 8.2.8 |
The early redemption of the Debentures as mentioned above shall not confer upon a Holder of Debentures that shall be redeemed as mentioned, the right to receive interest for the period after the redemption date.

behalf of the Trustee, or of an agent who has fulfilled the regular actions which the Trustee is required to perform pursuant to this Deed of Trust, whereas the performance of these actions is included in the fee which the Trustee receives from the
Company in accordance with the provisions of clause 21 above. For the avoidance of doubt, in case of declaring the Debentures immediately repayable, the actions which the Trustee shall be required to take in this regard shall not be considered as
regular actions which the Trustee must perform pursuant to this Deed of Trust for the purpose of this clause. It shall be clarified, that the objection of the Company to appoint a certain agent who was appointed at a Holders meeting, shall not delay

For any reasonable expense, damage, payment or financial obligation, including according to a judgment or arbitration judgment (in respect to which a stay of execution was not granted) or according to a settlement which has ended (and

And all provided that one of the cases set forth in the sub-clauses (a) to (f) hereinafter does not occur:

The undertaking to indemnify in accordance with this clause 26.1 shall be referred to as the “Indemnification Undertaking”.

The Trustee shall approach the Debenture Holders that held at the record date (as mentioned in clause 26.5 of the Deed) to request that they deposit with it the sum of the Financing Deposit, each according to their Relative Share (as this

The Indemnification Undertaking:
|
| 26.3.1 |
Shall apply to the Company due to the following cases: (1) Actions that were preformed and/or required to be performed according to the terms of the Deed

In any event that: (a). the Company does not pay the sums required for covering the Indemnification Undertaking and/or shall not deposit the sum of the Finance Deposit as the

|
| 26.4.1 |
First – out of the money (interest and/or Principal) which the Company must pay to the Debenture Holders after the date of the required action, and the provisions of clause 11 of the Deed shall
apply;
|
| 26.4.2 |
Second – insofar as according to the Trustee’s opinion the sums deposited in the Finance Deposit shall not be enough to cover the Indemnification Undertaking, the Debenture Holders that shall hold Debentures at the record date
(as mentioned in clause 26.5 of the Deed) shall deposit the missing sum, each one in accordance with their Relative Share (as such term is defined) with the Trustee. The sum that each Debenture Holder shall deposit shall bear annual
interest at a rate equal to the interest determined for the Debentures and it shall be paid with preference as mentioned in clause 26.7 of the Deed.
|
- 41 -

| 26.5.1 |
In any event that the Indemnification Undertaking and/or payment of the Finance Deposit are required due to a resolution or urgent action required for preventing adverse material harm to the rights of the Debenture Holders and this is
without an advance resolution of the Debenture Holders Meeting – the record date of the obligation shall be the end of the Trading Day of the date the action was taken or the resolution was made, and if this day is not a Trading Day, the
Trading Day prior to it.
|
| 26.5.2 |
In any event that the Indemnification Undertaking and/or payment of the Finance Deposit is required according to a resolution of the Meeting of the Debenture Holders – the record date for the obligation shall be the record date for
participating in the Meeting (as this date was determined in the summons notice) and it shall also apply to a Debenture Holder that was not present or that did not participate in the Meeting.
|
| 26.5.3 |
In any other case or in the case of disputes regarding the record date – the record date shall be as determined by the Trustee at its absolute discretion.
|
| 26.6. |
The payment by the Debenture Holders instead of the Company of any sum that is imposed on the Company according to this clause 26 cannot release the Company from its obligation to pay such payment and the Trustee shall act to the best
of its ability to collect the amount which the Company should have paid.
|
| 26.7. |

Interest” shall refer to this updated interest rate. The Company will report on an immediate report, within 2 Business Days of the date of entry into force of Amendment No. 1 of the Deed of Trust, the weighted interest rate that the
