2.1

(a) Each of the Israeli Shareholders hereby undertakes and agrees, severally but not jointly, at all times, to hold pro rata a sufficient number of Shares to comply with the Required Israeli Percentage, as detailed on Schedule 1 hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the written approval of the Minister of Communications (to the extent required by law), the Israeli Shareholders shall be entitled to sell their respective Shares but only to an Israeli Entity who undertakes to comply with the Required Israeli Percentage, at all times, in respect of such Shares and to enter into an agreement by which it shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and to deliver to the Company’s Secretary (a) a share transfer deed that includes an undertaking by the transferee to comply with all requirements of section 22A of the Licence and (b) all information requested with respect to the transferee’s qualification as a Founding Shareholder and/or a Founding Israeli Shareholder (as defined in the Licence). Any transfer of Shares by an Israeli Shareholder not in accordance with this Clause 2.1, shall be rejected by the Board of the Company (and the Parties shall procure that the Articles of Association of the Company shall be amended accordingly) and such transfer shall be deemed to be null and void.

(b) Nothing herein shall restrict or limit in any way an Israeli Shareholder’s right to freely sell or otherwise dispose of (i) any number of Shares that exceeds its percentage of the Required Israeli Percentage set forth in Schedule 1 hereto or (ii) any Shares acquired by it following the date hereof.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of Shares required by this Agreement to be held by any Israeli Shareholder in order to maintain its pro rata portion of the Required Israeli Percentage shall be calculated based on the number of Shares outstanding from time to time up to a maximum of 160,922,344 Shares outstanding, provided, however, that such number shall be adjusted from time to time to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits and the like which applies to all the Shares.

2.2	Hutchison shall hold such number of Shares to comply with the Required Founders Percentage less the Required Israeli Percentage and the Israeli Shareholders shall hold such number of Shares to comply with the Required Israeli Percentage.

2.3

To the extent that the law (including the Licence or Articles of Association of the Company) requires that the person(s) who is holding Shares to comply with the Required Israeli Percentage to appoint a certain number of Directors of the Company, then the Israeli Shareholders hereby severally agree and undertake to appoint and retain, from time to time, such number of the directors of the Company to comply with such requirement and shall ensure that the appointees are Israeli citizens and residents. In addition, to the extent that the law (including the Licence or Articles of Association of the Company) so requires, each of Advent and Hutchison hereby jointly and severally agree and undertake to vote all their Shares in each general meeting of the Company’s shareholders at which any directors are elected to ensure that a majority of the directors of the Company shall be Israeli citizens and residents.

3.	MRT Operator

3.1	A Parent of Advent shall continue to be a Controlling Corporation (as defined in the Licence) of an MRT Operator; such MRT Operator shall, subject to Clause 3.2, be Hutchison Telephone Company Ltd. (“HTCL”), for so long as this is required by the Licence.

3.2

Advent may, without having to obtain the prior approval of the other Parties, substitute in place of HTCL another affiliate company of Hutchison Telecommunications International Limited to act as an MRT Operator, if so required by the Licence or if so requested by Advent and permitted under the Licence and applicable approvals of the Minister of Communication or Ministry of Communication are obtained.

4.	Permitted Transfers

No party may transfer any Shares if the transfer would result in circumstances (a) constituting a breach or default under the Licence or any of the Company’s agreements with its lenders to which it is a party, or (b) which with the lapse of time or service of a notice would constitute such breach or default. Subject to the foregoing, and to the other provisions of this Agreement, any Party may transfer Shares freely provided that all necessary governmental or regulatory approvals for the transfer are granted.

5.	Transfer in the Event of Default

5.1	Deemed Transfer Notice

If any Party who directly or indirectly holds Shares commits an Event of Default (defined in Clause 5.3 below), then the Board of the Company, at a meeting in which the Directors nominated by the Party which has committed the Event of Default the “Defaulting Party” will not be entitled to participate, shall be entitled, at its discretion, by notice in writing to require the Defaulting Party to give a transfer notice (“Transfer Notice”) in respect of all the Shares then registered in the name of the Defaulting Party and procure any person holding any Shares in trust for or on behalf of the Defaulting Party to give a Transfer Notice in respect of all other Shares beneficially owned by the Defaulting Party, and the provisions of clauses 5.4 and 5.5 below shall apply to the transfer of Shares made pursuant to such Transfer Notice(s). The Transfer Notice(s) shall specify a price (the “Transfer Price”) for each Share which shall, in the case of an Event of Default specified in Clause 5.3.1, be the Market Price less a discount of 17.5 per cent, and in the case of all other Events of Default, be the Market Price. In the event that the Defaulting Party or any trustee or other person fails to issue the Transfer Notice as aforesaid, such Transfer Notice may be issued on its behalf by a person nominated by the Board at a meeting in which Directors nominated by the Defaulting Party are entitled to attend but not participate with a copy to the Defaulting Party. For the purpose of this Clause 5, the Defaulting Party, the person holding Shares in trust for or on behalf of the Defaulting Party having given a Transfer Notice, shall be referred to as the “Offeror” and the Shares which are the subject matter of a Transfer Notice shall be referred to as the “Offered Shares”.

5.2

If the Board has exercised its discretion under Clause 5.1 above to require the Defaulting Party, or the Board nominee as aforesaid to give, procure or issue a Transfer Notice and the Defaulting Party contests that an Event of Default has occurred or that the Board was entitled to require it to give a Transfer Notice, and has notified in writing of such contest within seven days of receipt of the Board’s requirement to give a Transfer Notice, then:

5.2.1

the Defaulting Party, within seven days following such seven day period, must commence proceedings in respect of the issues in dispute, pursuant to Clause 10.6.2 below;

5.2.2

the Company and the Parties must actively pursue a swift resolution of said proceedings;

5.2.3

provided that the proceedings have been commenced as aforesaid, the Transfer Notice, duly signed by the Defaulting Party or the Board’s nominated representative (as the case may be), must be deposited with a custodian; and

5.2.4

the custodian must act in relation to such Transfer Notice in accordance with the decision of the courts.

5.3	Event of Default

An “Event of Default” for the purpose of Clause 5 means the occurrence of any of the following:

5.3.1

a Party committing a breach of its obligations under this Agreement which has a material adverse effect on the Company, and, in the case of a breach capable of remedy, failing to remedy the same within 30 days of being specifically required in writing so to do by the Company or any one of the Parties;

5.3.2

a Party committing a breach of its obligations under any of the agreements of the Company’s lenders to which it is a party, which has a material adverse effect on the Company and, in the case of a breach capable of remedy, failing to remedy the same within the requisite period (if any) provided under the agreements of the Company’s lenders.

5.4	Transfer Notice

In the circumstances in which, pursuant to Clauses 5.1 to 5.3 above, this Clause 5.4 and Clause 5.5 apply, the Offeror shall give a Transfer Notice to the other Parties (the “Other Shareholders”) with a copy to the Company, marked for the attention of the Company Secretary. The Transfer Notice shall constitute an offer to sell the Offered Shares, at the Transfer Price to the other Shareholders as nearly as possible in proportion to the Percentage Interests then held by the other Shareholders. For the purpose of this Clause 5, “Percentage Interests” means the number of Shares from time to time held, directly or indirectly, expressed as a percentage of the total number of Shares held by the relevant other Shareholders.

5.5	Acceptance

With seven (7) Business Days after the delivery of the Transfer Notice, each of the other Shareholders shall notify the Offeror in writing, with a copy to the Other Shareholders, of the maximum number of the Offered Shares offered to it which it is willing to purchase at the Transfer Price. Any of the Other Shareholders which fails to give such notice within the specified time period shall be deemed to have refused the offer. At the expiry of the seven (7) Business Day period, any of the Offered Shares not so accepted shall be offered by notice in writing (the “Further Offer Notice”) to those Other Shareholders who have accepted all of the Offered Shares to which they are respectively entitled, such offer to be as nearly as possible in proportion to the Percentage Interests then held by such Other Shareholders (excluding the Other Shareholders who did not accept the offer set out in the Transfer Notice). The Other Shareholders who receive the further offer may accept the further offer of the Offered Shares in the proportion offered to them respectively or in such other proportion as such Other Shareholders agree between themselves by notice in writing (the “Acceptance Notice”) to the Offeror (with copies to the Other Shareholders and the Company) stating the proportion of Shares each such Other Shareholder accepts. The Offeror shall be bound to transfer those of the Offered Shares accepted by the Other Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 5.5. Completion of the transfer of the Offered Shares shall take place within 30 days of the expiry of the first or second seven (7) Business Day period as the case may be. If the approval of the Minister of Communications and/or Ministry of Communications is required under the Licence, and such approval is not obtained within such 30-day period, then the period for completion of the transfer of the Offered Shares shall be extended automatically for a further 90 days.

5.6

In the event that Hutchison or any of its affiliate companies accepts to purchase Offered Shares and the result of which would mean the minimum holding of Shares by Israeli Entities would be less than the Required Israeli Percentage, Hutchison or its affiliate companies, as the case may be, shall be entitled to nominate a third party Israeli Entity to hold the relevant number of Offered Shares, on its behalf or on its own right, to avoid any non-compliance with the Licence in this connection.

5.7	To the extent required, the Parties shall arrange for the Company’s Articles of Association to incorporate the provisions of this Clause 5.

6.	Confidentiality

6.1.1

Subject to Clause 6.1.2 below, each of the Parties shall treat as confidential and not disclose or use any information received or obtained as a result of entering into this Agreement (or any agreement entered into pursuant to this Agreement), which relates to:

the provisions of this Agreement and any agreement entered into pursuant to this Agreement; or

(ii)

the negotiations relating to this Agreement (and such other agreements).

(iv)

the disclosure is made to professional advisers of the Parties, provided that such professional advisers are informed of the provisions of this Clause 6 in respect of such information, in which case the Party retaining such adviser shall be held responsible for any breaches by such adviser of the restrictions set forth in this Clause 6;

(v)

the information becomes publicly available (other than by breach of this Agreement); or

(vi)

the other Parties have given prior written approval to the disclosure or use;

provided that prior to disclosure or use of any information pursuant to paragraphs (ii) or (iii) (except in the case of disclosure to a taxation authority), the Party concerned shall promptly notify the other Parties of such requirement with a view to providing the other Parties with the opportunity to contest such disclosure or use or otherwise to agree the timing and content of such disclosure or use.

7.	Compliance with the Licence

7.1

Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring or permitting the performance of any acts, which are inconsistent with the terms of the Licence.

For the sake of clarity, if and when this Agreement shall terminate in relation to Eurocom pursuant to this Clause 9.2 hereof, Tapuz, an affiliate of Eurocom that owns one Share, shall also be released from all its obligations and restrictions hereunder.

9.3

Termination of this Agreement pursuant to Clause 9.2 above shall not release any Party from any liability, which at the time of termination has already accrued to such Party.
