Such assignment shall be intended at separating the Dual Contracts into two legally independent contracts, one relating to the Acquired Assets as set forth in Section 2.1(e) (which shall be assigned to the Purchaser) and one relating to the Excluded Assets as set forth in Section 2.2(c) (which shall be retained by the Company). Where a Dual Contract does not specify the consideration payable for service provided thereunder in relation to the Business, the instrument of assignment shall specify such consideration, which the parties intend to be based on the amounts specified in the Revenues Table, subject at all times to Section 3.3.3.


    2.4.3.        In the event that, at or prior to the Closing Date, the Company is unable to separate and assign any Dual Contract pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.4.2 above, then no rights or obligations shall be assigned under such Dual Contract, and such Dual Contract shall be deemed a Retained Telecom Customer Contract (where the Dual Contract Customer is a telecom operator), or, as the case may be, a Retained Business Customer Contract (in all other cases).


    2.4.4.        In the event that a Dual Customer agrees to the assignment of such Dual Customer’s Dual Contract, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.4.2 above, but does not agree to separate such Dual Contract into two legally independent contracts, then the Company and Purchaser will each provide their respective services and will indemnify each other for any damages, expenses, or harm caused or incurred to the other party as a result of a breach of the Dual Contract, for which such party is responsible, provided that neither party shall assume any liabilities for compensation that do not result from its own failure to provide its respective services.

    (e)        All other Liabilities attributable to the conduct of the Business from and after the Closing Date, to the extent created by, arising out of, or specifically contemplated by any of the Acquired Assets provided however, such Liabilities have been disclosed to Purchaser.


    2.6.        Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except for the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser shall not be deemed to assume, nor shall it assume or be obligated to pay, discharge, indemnify or perform, any other Liability of the Company, including, without limitation, the following Liabilities (collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”), all of which shall remain the sole responsibility of the Company, and shall be retained, paid, performed and discharged by the Company:

    (a)        All Liabilities of the Company attributable to the conduct of the Business prior to the Closing Date;

    (b)        All Liabilities of the Company arising under any Contract of the Company other than the Assigned Contracts, or arising under any Assigned Contract terminated or effectively terminated as of the Closing Date, or arising under or relating to any breach or violation by the Company of any Assigned Contract occurring prior to the Closing Date;

    (c)        All Liabilities of the Company in respect of the Excluded Assets;

12



    (d)        All Liabilities of the Company for salaries, wages, vacation pay or other rights and benefits due or accrued by any present or former employee and/or subcontractor of the Company, including, as more particularly set forth in Section 7.7.2;

    3.2.        Value Added Taxes. The Purchase Price does not include any value added taxes applicable to the acquisition of the Acquired Assets. Value added taxes, to the extent applicable, shall be added to all payments hereunder and paid by Purchaser to the Company, against receipt of a duly issued invoice.

     3.3.        Purchase Price Adjustments.

     3.3.1.        Adjustment for Approved Investments. The amounts set forth in Section 3.1 shall be increased, at the Closing, by an amount equal to the aggregate cash payments that the Company has made between September 5th, 2005 and the date hereof, or that the Company shall make between the date hereof and the Closing Date, in connection with any Approved Investment, provided, however, such cash payments are consistent with the payments that were consented to by the Purchaser for any Approved Investment and further provided that the cash payments made by the Company are evidenced by a certificate which shall be executed by an officer of the Company and delivered to Purchaser at least four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of all such payments and attaching copies of all receipts thereof.

     (b)        [*]


     (c)        [*]


     (d)        [*]


     (e)        As promptly as practicable prior to the Closing Date, the parties shall discuss in good faith any adjustments necessary to be made under this Section 3.3.3, and shall attempt to reach an agreement on the Withheld Amounts and the Deducted Amounts, if any. In the event the parties shall be unable to reach such an agreement, then the parties shall proceed to Closing subject to the deposit of any Withheld Amounts or Deducted Amounts in dispute (such amounts, as the case may be, “Disputed Withheld Amounts” or “Disputed Deducted Amounts”, and collectively, “Disputed Adjustments”), with the Escrow Agent, who shall hold and release the same in accordance with the Adjustment Escrow Agreement, until such dispute is resolved as set forth below.


* The symbol [*] denotes places where portions of this document have been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential Treatment is being requested with respect to the omitted portions.

14



     (f)        In the event of any Disputed Adjustments, either party may, by written notice to the other party and the Independent Auditor, delivered within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, appoint the Independent Auditor to review and audit the Disputed Adjustments (and all related financial information as shall be deemed relevant by the Independent Auditor). The Independent Auditor shall be instructed to prepare a reasonably detailed statement determining the Withheld Amounts and the Deducted Amounts, if any (the “Audited Adjustment Statement”) pursuant to the instructions in this Agreement. The Audited Adjustment Statement shall be final and binding on the parties absent manifest error. The costs of the Independent Auditor shall be borne equally by the parties, unless either party’s determination of the Withheld Amounts and the Deducted Amount, in the aggregate (as set forth in each party’s position statement submitted to the Independent Auditor) deviated by more than 20% from such amounts as stated in the Audited Adjustment Statement, in which case such party shall bear the costs of the Independent Auditor. For the purposes hereof, the “Final Withheld Amount” and the “Final Deducted Amounts” shall respectively equal either (i) the Withheld Amount and the Deducted Amounts, if any, as agreed by the parties prior to the Closing Date, (ii) the Withheld Amount and the Deducted Amounts, if any, as mutually agreed upon by the Company and Purchaser at any time after the Closing, or (iii) the Withheld Amount and the Deducted Amounts, if any, as set forth in the Audited Adjustment Statement, if the Independent Auditor is appointed and delivers a calculation of such amounts.


     (g)        (i)        Upon the determination of the Final Withheld Amount, if any, then the Escrow Agent shall, pursuant to the Audited Adjustment Statement and in accordance with the Adjustment Escrow Mechanism, either release the Disputed Withheld Amounts to the Company or retain in the same as additional Withheld Amounts, to be held and released by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Adjustment Escrow Agreement.


     (ii)        Upon the determination of the Final Deducted Amount, if any, then the Escrow Agent shall, pursuant to the Audited Adjustment Statement and in accordance with the Adjustment Escrow Mechanism, release the Disputed Deducted Amounts either to the Company or to Purchaser.


     (h)        Notwithstanding the aforesaid, neither the Minimum Commitment nor anything else in this Section 3.3.3 shall diminish the Company’s obligation under this Agreement to use its best reasonable efforts to obtain the express written consent to the irrevocable assignment of all Customer Contracts and Dual Contracts, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.


    3.4.        Apportionments. Each party will cooperate with the other and will prepare, execute and deliver such instruments, and take such further action, as may be required, or as may be reasonably requested by the other party, in order to give effect to the parties’ agreement that all items of income and expense attributable to the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities shall be apportioned between them as of the Closing. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, all current Taxes or payments attributable to the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, including, without limitation, any Impositions and Utility Charges incurred in respect of the use or occupancy of any Leased Real Property, shall be apportioned as of the Closing Date, such that the Company shall be obligated for all such Taxes and other payments apportioned in respect of the period through and including the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall be obligated for all such Taxes and other payments apportioned in respect of the period following the Closing Date. In the case of any such current Taxes and other payments covering a payment period commencing before the Closing Date and ending thereafter, the party required to make such payments (the “Paying Party”) shall timely prepare and file any Tax Returns and make all payments required thereunder, and the other party will promptly reimburse the Paying Party upon receipt of evidence of payment to the extent any payment made by the Paying Party relates to that portion of the period for which the other party is obligated hereunder. For the sake of clarity, reimbursement pursuant to this Section is not subject to the terms and conditions of Section 9 and shall not be limited or restricted by the provisions of Section 9.4.

        WHEREAS, the Parties entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated January ___, 2006 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) whereby the Purchaser has agreed to purchase certain rights and other assets of the Company and to assume some of the Company’s Liabilities;

2.     Escrow Agent Obligations. The Escrow Agent shall hold, invest and release the Indemnity Bank Guaranty and any proceeds which may result from the exercise thereof (collectively, the “Escrow Amounts”) solely in accordance with this Indemnity Escrow Agreement.

3.     Exercise of Indemnity Bank Guaranty and Release of Proceeds of the Indemnity Bank Guaranty.

A.     Exercise of Claim Amount

     3.1        In the event that the Escrow Agent receives a notice from the Purchaser stating that the Purchaser is entitled to receive all or part of the Escrow Amount under Section 9.2 of the Asset Purchase Agreement, specifying a specific sum (the “Claim Amount”) and containing a calculation of the Claim Amount and relevant supporting documentation pertaining to the Claim Amount (together, the “Notice of Claim”), then the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt of the Notice of Claim and request a response from the Company within thirty (30) days (the “Escrow Agent’s Notice”).

     3.2        If the Company either (a) does not respond to the Escrow Agent’s Notice within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of Escrow Agent’s Notice (the “Response Period”), or (b) does not notify the Escrow Agent, within the Response Period, that it objects to the payment of the Escrow Amount as set forth in the Notice of Claim, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly exercise the Indemnity Bank Guaranty in the amount of the Claim Amount and shall release the Claim Amount to the Purchaser.

     3.3        If the Company notifies the Escrow Agent, within the Response Period, that it does not consent to the payment of all or part of the Claim Amount (such amount being a “Disputed Claim”), then the Escrow Agent shall promptly exercise the Indemnity Bank Guarantee in respect of any undisputed portion of the Claim Amount, release such undisputed portion to Purchaser, and continue to hold the Indemnity Bank Guarantee in escrow pursuant to the provisions hereof.

     3.4        The Parties hereby agree that the Purchaser’s receipt of the Claim Amount (or any undisputed portion thereof) shall exhaust all of Purchaser’s rights of claim and causes of action with respect to the matters set forth in the Notice of Claim, up to the Claim Amount or any undisputed portion thereof received by the Purchaser. For the sake of clarity, if the Purchaser’s Claims set forth in the Notice of Claim exceed the Claim Amount (or any undisputed portion thereof) received by the Purchaser under Sections 3.2 and/or 3.3 above, then the Purchaser’s receipt of the Claim Amount (or any such portion thereof) shall not exhaust the Purchaser’s rights of claim and causes of action with respect to the matters set forth in the Notice of Claim that relate to the amounts exceeding the Claim Amount (or any such portion thereof) received by the Purchaser.

- 2 -



     3.5        In the event that on the Exercise Date, as defined below, there shall be outstanding any Filed Dispute Proceedings, as defined below, then the Escrow Agent shall exercise the Indemnity Bank Guarantee in the amount of the Disputed Claim(s) directly and specifically underlying the said Filed Dispute Proceedings (the “Exercised Amount”) and, subject to Section 3.6 below, shall thereafter return the Indemnity Bank Guarantee, in respect of any remaining Escrow Amounts, to the Company, provided, however, that the Escrow Agent provides the Parties with at least seven (7) days prior written notice of its intention to so exercise the Indemnity Bank Guarantee, and providedfurther that the Escrow Agent shall not have received, by the Exercise Date, either: (a) an extension of the Indemnity Bank Guarantee, or (b) an alternative autonomous bank guarantee issued by the same bank, in the amount of the Exercised Amount (each, an “Alternative Guarantee”). The Escrow Agent shall hold the proceeds resulting from the exercise of the Indemnity Bank Guarantee or the Alternative Guarantee held pursuant to this subsection above, in accordance with the terms hereof, until the Escrow Agent receives (i) a verified copy of a judgment or other decision issued by a competent Israeli court of law, resolving the Filed Dispute Proceedings and specifying the amount, if any, to be paid to the Purchaser under Section 9.2 of the Asset Purchase Agreement, or (ii) a verified copy of a decree or other court order, issued by a competent Israeli court of law, ordering the release or extension of the Indemnity Bank Guarantee ((i) and (ii), each a “Court Decree”), or (iii) other joint written instructions of the Parties as to release thereof.

          As used in this Indemnity Escrow Agreement:

     (i)        the term “Filed Dispute Proceedings” shall mean a statement of claim submitted in a competent court of law, based on substantially the same claims as set forth in any outstanding Disputed Claim(s), as evidenced by a stamped copy of such statement of claim, indicating the same to have been duly filed and opened;


     (ii)        the term “Guarantee Expiration Date” shall mean the date of expiration of the Indemnity Bank Guarantee or of any Alternative Guarantee held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 3.5 above; and


     (iii)        the term “Exercise Date” shall mean fourteen (14) days prior to the Guarantee Expiration Date.

SCHEDULE 5

COMPANY DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE

THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS CERTAIN QUALIFICATIONS AGAINST THE STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN SECTION 5 OF THE AGREEMENT.

All capitalized terms not expressly defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Asset Purchase Agreement to which this document is attached as Schedule 5 (the “Agreement”).

SECTION 5.5 – THIRD PARTY LIENS ON ACQUIRED ASSETS

  Some of the Tangible Property constituting part of the Acquired Assets is not in the physical possession of the Company but is located in the premises of the Company’s customers.

  At the date hereof, the Acquired Assets are subject to a floating charge imposed in favor of Bank HaPoalim BM. This floating charge is intended to be excluded in respect of the Acquired Assets pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement.

SECTION 5.6 – ASSIGNED CONTRACTS NOT IN EFFECT

[*].

The Agreement entered into by and between the Company and Derech Eretz Telecom Ltd. (under incorporation) dated June 19, 2005 is conditioned upon the obtainment of certain third party approvals, as more particularly provided therein and/or in a letter of consent executed by the Company and Derech Eretz Highways (1997) Ltd. on June 14, 2005. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, such consents have not been obtained.

Some of the Assigned Contracts specified in Schedule 2.1(d) are still being negotiated and have not yet been executed but are, at present, being negotiated. This fact is noted, specifically with regard to each such Assigned Contract, within Schedule 2.1(d). Hence, the arrangements under all such contracts are presently not binding and effective, and such Contracts are not as yet enforceable.

SECTION 5.8 –REQUIRED APPROVALS

The Company has laid down pipes in the following routes in cooperation (or pursuant to certain pipe exchange arrangements) with third parties, on the basis of the belief that such third parties possess all necessary digging permits, rights of way, and other Approvals necessary to grant the Company rights of way in such routes:

  Infrastructure deployed by HOT (Golden Channels) in Jerusalem;
  Approximately 11 km of pipes laid by HOT (Golden Channels) in Ramat Gan; these pipes are presently inactive;
  Approximately 1.5 km of pipes laid by HOT (Golden Channels) in Kfar Saba;
  Approximately 1 km of pipes obtained from Cellcom Ltd. pursuant to a pipe exchange transaction in Tirat HaCarmel.
  Approximately 0.5 km of pipes in Carmiel; and
  Approximately 0.5 km of pipes laid by Leadcom Ltd. in Tel Aviv as well as other pipes in which the Company has received an IRU from Leadcom Ltd.

The rights of way and similar Approvals issued by Ma'atz were issued to Globescom Ltd. or to Med-1 Submarine Cables Ltd. Globescom Ltd. notified Ma'atz(1) of the assignment of such Approvals to the Company but the Company has not received any formal confirmation of the acceptance of such Approvals.

The Company has performed digging works and has laid down the submerged portion of the System in the territorial waters of the State of Israel in reliance upon the letter of confirmation issued by Adv. Yehuda Zimrat on December 28, 2000, in lieu of applying for a specific construction permit by the Coastline Waters Commissions or any other commission operating the Zoning Law, 1965 in connection with the submerged portions of the System.

With regard to infrastructural work carried out before the Company obtained a permit pursuant to Section 4(6) of the Communication Law (Telecommunications and Broadcasting), 1982 (the “Communication Law”), the Company has, in most cases, carried out such work in reliance upon its infrastructural coordination with third parties. The Company believes that all such work was carried out in accordance with then current industry practice. After the obtainment of such Section 4(6) permit, the Company has acted in cooperation with the different municipal authorities in which the Company has performed such infrastructural work, in reliance upon the existence of such Section 4(6) permit. Although the Company has not generally followed through the formal notification requirements set out in Chapter 6 of the Communication Law, the Company believes to be in possession of all Approvals necessary for the deployment and usage of the System.

SECTION 5.10 – CUSTOMERS AND CUSTOMER CONTRACTS

[*]

SECTION 5.11 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CASH IN

[*]

Between September 5, 2005 and the date hereof, the Company has not received any payments from any clients or customers of the Business, which are attributable to the conduct of the Business from and after the Closing Date.

SECTION 5.12 – VIOLATIONS OF LAWS

See Section 5.8 above.

SECTION 5.13 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

SECTION 5.15 – INSURANCE

The table attached hereto as Table 5.15-1 lists all insurance coverage carried by the Company with respect to the Acquired Assets and the insurance premiums payable by the Company in connection with such insurance coverage for the year 2006.

The policy underlying such insurance coverage refers both to the Acquired Assets and to the Excluded Assets. The aggregate premium payable for such policy for the year 2006 is US$48,366. The premium attached to the coverage relating to the Acquired Assets as set forth in Table 5-15.1 reflects the Company’s good faith estimation of the pro rated premium expected to be payable for such coverage. It is likely that, should the Company seek to separate the insurance coverage to policies covering separately the Acquired Assets and the Excluded Assets, such separation will result in an increase of premiums. The Company has paid or will pay the premium for such policy for the period ending upon the Closing Date.

Attached hereto as Table 5.15-2 is a statement of all insurance claims filed by the Company during the three (3) year period ending on the date hereof. All of these claims refer to the Excluded Assets. No insurance claims were made during said period in respect of the Acquired Assets.
