entitled, from time to time until the End of the Utilization Period and subject to the
matters referred to in clause 7 below, to receive from the Bank credit, loans and other

(hereinafter — “CLA FC Credit”). |
| |
|
|
In order to remove any doubt, it is hereby clarified that the Banking Services do not
include the issue of bank guarantees in favor of third parties. |
| |
| |
3.2. |
|
Every application by us to be provid any Banking Service will be made in the
manner set forth therefor on the relevant document in the Documents of General Terms
(as defined below). |
| |
| |
3.3. |
|
The date of granting any Banking Service will be at our discretion, provided
that, in the case of an amount exceeding USD 10 million (ten million US dollars), our
notice regarding this matter will be sent to the Bank at least one business day in
advance, according to the procedure and terms specified in the relevant documents in
the Documents of General Terms (as defined below) in accordance with the type of Bank
Service applied for by us and in the currency relevant thereto. |
| |
| |
3.4. |
|
We are aware that the amount of the Credit Facility has been specified by the
Bank in US dollars for reasons of convenience and, accordingly, whenever a Banking
Service is granted as part of the Banking Services in a currency other than US dollars
(hereinafter — “the Parallel Credit”), for the purpose of calculating the total amount
actually utilized by us through to that date, out of the total Credit Facility, the
amount of the Parallel Credit will be converted into US dollars in the following
manner: if the Parallel Credit is in shekels — at the representative exchange rate of
the US dollar, and, if the Parallel Credit is in another currency — at a rate
equivalent to the fraction whose numerator is the representative exchange rate of the
other currency and whose denominator is the representative exchange rate of the US
dollar. The amount in US dollars obtained as a result of the aforesaid conversion will
be the amount to be deducted by the Bank from the Credit Facility and will be used for
calculating the balance remaining at our disposal, up to the Credit Facility ceiling. |
| |
| |
3.5. |
|
We will be responsible for ensuring that Banking Services are not used in a
manner that may result in the amount of the Credit Facility being exceeded and that the
amount of the Credit Facility is not exceeded due to changes in the exchange rates. |
| |
| |
3.6. |
|
The Credit Facility will be available for utilization from the date of it being
granted through to the End of the Utilization Period, provided that all credit taken by
us pursuant to this Deed is repaid not later than the End of the Utilization Period. |

We will be entitled to notify the Bank from time to time (by giving written notice)
of a reduction in the Credit Facility. Such notice will be irrevocable and it will
not be possible to withdraw amounts in excess of the reduced amount of the Credit
Facility. The Credit Facility will not be enlarged again without the prior written
consent of the Bank. In order to remove any doubt, in the event of our notifying the
Bank of a reduction in the Credit Facility as stated: (i) we will not be entitled to
the refund of any fee, wholly or partly, paid by us prior to giving notification of
the reduction in the Facility, with respect to the Credit Facility, even if the fee
was paid in advance for the whole period; and, (ii) any fee paid on an ongoing basis

the terms of the Documents of General Terms, with it being clear that different
Wholesale Interest will apply to each of the aforementioned types of loan, as is the
Bank’s normal practice. |
| |

repayment of the interest will be made in one payment that will take place on the date
that the principal is repaid, or at the end of a period of 3 (three) months from the
date of granting the relevant loan, whichever is the earlier of the two. |
| |

|
|
For the rest of the Banking Services, the repayment of the interest will take place
in accordance with the provisions of the Documents of General Terms, which were
signed in connection therewith. |

The above collateral is of a continuous nature and will remain in effect until the
full and final repayment of all the Secured Amounts (including, and without
derogating from the generality of the aforesaid, in the event of the cancellation of
the credit facility for any reason whatsoever, whether by the Bank or by ourselves,
provided that all the Secured Amounts are repaid). |
| |
| |
6.3. |
|
Notwithstanding the matters referred to above and below, the Bank will from
time to time, at our request, permit the release of part of the Pledged Shares provided

to the further condition that the Pledged Shares remaining in the Securities Account,

it is clarified that these amounts include, without derogating from the generality of
the aforesaid, fees and expenses with respect to the Banking Services described in
this Facility Deed and/or provided pursuant to this Facility Deed and/or pursuant to
any document from the Documents of General Terms (in order to remove any doubt, it is
clarified that the Above Amounts do not include those amounts that we are entitled to

So long as the ratio between the Above Amounts and the market value of the
Pledged Shares (as defined in clause 10.2 below) does not exceed [***] and so long as
no event has occurred that constitutes a “breach event”, as defined in this Facility
Deed, or an event that, with the passage of time or subsequent to giving a notice or
warning, will constitute an event that permits the Bank, pursuant to the provisions of
this Facility Deed, as referred to above, to demand immediate repayment of any Banking
Service (hereinafter in this Deed, any breach event or other type of event as described
— “Breach”), we will be entitled to receive the dividends with respect to the Pledged
Shares. |

additional provisions concerning the collateral included in any of the Collateral
Documents, except insofar as it pertains to the contents of clause 4.2 above. |

Furthermore, in order to remove any doubt, in any instance where the Bank shall
demand immediate repayment of the Above Amounts, wholly or partly, as stated in

funds in any of Our Accounts and/or to dispose of the Pledged Shares, wholly or
partly — at the sole discretion of the Bank, and subject to giving 3 business days’
advance notice (hereinafter — “the Notice Period”). Notwithstanding the aforesaid,
it is agreed that in any instance where the Bank believes that the aforesaid advance
notice might significantly endanger its rights and/or its ability to obtain repayment
from us, the Notice Period may be shortened or canceled, at the sole discretion of
the Bank and provided that the Bank will in any case notify us of the set-off or
disposal, as the case may be, immediately after having done so. |

| |
|
|
It is hereby clarified that if, during the rectification period prescribed in the
first paragraph of this clause 8.2 above, the above ratio rises above 0.8, then the
amount of time for rectifying the event will be immediately shortened to one business
day only; |
| |
|
|
“The market value of the Pledged Shares” is defined as — the quantity of the Pledged
Shares multiplied by the accounting average (on a 50%-50% basis) of: (a) the stock
exchange value of the Pledged Share, and (b) the net value of a pledged share, based
on the accounting records of Citycon, which will be calculated as follows: Citycon’s
equity (excluding minority interests) according to Citycon’s financial statements
(either the annual or the quarterly statements, as the case may be) (prepared in
conformity with IFRS principles), divided by the quantity of Citycon’s issued and
paid-up shares (excluding those Citycon shares that are owned by Citycon or owned by
a company which is wholly owned by Citycon ); |

days preceding the examination date; |

by the Bank at any time and from time to time; the examination of the net value of
Citycon’s shares, based on the accounting records of Citycon, will be carried out
once a quarter, following the publication of Citycon’s Financial Statements, and this
value will be applied for the purpose of examining the market value of the Pledged
Shares at any time and from time to time during the quarter, through to the
publication of the next Financial Statements (the quarterly or the annual statements,
as the case may be); |
| |
| |
|
|
Notwithstanding the aforesaid: (a) should Citycon have committed any breach pursuant
to any agreement with any financial institution, whereby the aforesaid financial
institution is entitled to demand immediate repayment of the credit that it granted
to Citycon, and so long as the breach continues; or (b) should liquidation and/or
receivership petitions be filed against Citycon (where no order has yet been granted
with respect thereto), which, were they to be filed against us, would fall within the
causes for triggering immediate repayment of the credit, as referred to in clauses
10.5 or 10.6 below, and so long as the aforesaid petitions are still pending, then,
in both the above instances: (1) the market value of the Pledged Shares will be
calculated solely according to the stock exchange value of the Pledged Share; and
also (2) clause 7.8 will be so read that the number 0.6 that appears therein will be
replaced by the number 0.5, and this clause 10.2 will be so read that the number 0.7
that appears herein will be replaced by the number 0.6, the number 0.6 that appears
herein will be replaced by the number 0.5 and the number 0.8 that appears herein will
be replaced by the number 0.7; |
| |
| |
10.3. |
|

stock exchange value of the Pledged Share, and (b) the Above Amounts will be less than
1.1, and provided that the aforementioned event is not rectified within two business
days of the date on which it materialized, by means of our providing the Bank with
additional collateral to the Bank’s full satisfaction and/or by means of our repaying
such amount of the credit that the above ratio will no longer be below 1.1; |
| |
| |
10.4. |
|
If we take a decision with regard to restructuring and it is not intended that
the Company shall remain the surviving entity following the aforesaid restructuring; |

meaning given to these terms in Part E2 of the Income Tax Ordinance (Revised
Version), or in the Companies Law, 1999 or in any statutory provision that
subsequently replaces either of these), as well as the transfer of assets in exchange
for shares, all as stated in Part E2 above or otherwise; |
| |

against us or against Citycon; and if a temporary, permanent or other liquidator or a
special administrator or a trustee is appointed for us or for Citycon; and/or if a stay

act in the manner described at the beginning of this clause 10, except after the
expiry of 30 (thirty) days from the date of filing the petition and on condition that
the amount is such that, in the opinion of the Bank, it could endanger our existence
as a company and/or the repayment of the Secured Amounts; |

| |
10.6. |
|
If a receivership petition is filed over a property in a cumulative amount in
excess of USD 30 million (thirty million US dollars) or a receivership order is granted

temporary and/or some other receiver is appointed over a property in such cumulative
amount belonging to us or to Citycon and/or if a receivership petition is filed against

been granted, the Bank will not be entitled to take action pursuant to this clause
except after 30 (thirty) days from the date of filing the petition(s), and in the
case of a petition pertaining to our property (which is not part of the collateral

provided to secure the repayment of the Secured Amounts; |

Notwithstanding the aforesaid, in the case of petitions for the imposition of an
attachment for which orders have not yet been granted — the Bank will not be
entitled to take action pursuant to this cause except after 30 (thirty) days from the
date of filing the petition(s), on condition that the amount is such that, in the
opinion of the Bank, it could endanger our existence as a company and/or the

|
If we are required to make an immediate repayment of debts and liabilities that are
owed or will be owed to creditors that are debenture holders and/or other financial
