The Reporting Persons are making this single joint filing pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) under the 1934 Act. An agreement among the Reporting Persons with respect to the filing of this statement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

        The business address of Mr. Michael Federmann is c/o Federmann Enterprises Ltd., 87 Hayarkon Street, Tel-Aviv, Israel.

The address of the Issuer is set forth in Item 1 above. Mr. Michael Federmann is a citizen of the State of Israel.

8


        Each of BFL, BBL and BYL is a corporation existing under the laws of the State of Israel with its registered offices located at 16 Abba Hillel Silver Road, Ramat Gan, Israel, c/o M. Firon & Co., Advocates and Notaries. The principal business activity of each of BFL, BBL and BYL is the holding of investments in private companies.

        The name, present business address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each director and executive officer of FEL, HF, BFL, BBL and BYL are set forth on Schedules A, B, C, D and E attached hereto, respectively.

        During the last five years none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of their directors or executive officers, has been (i) convicted of any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.        Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

        On December 19, 1999, the Issuer, FEL, HF, Rehovot Instruments Ltd. and Elop Electro-Optics Industries Ltd. (“Elop”) entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Elop would be merged into and become a subsidiary of the Issuer in exchange for the issuance by the Issuer of an aggregate of 12,100,000 Ordinary Shares to FEL and HF. The merger transaction contemplated under the Merger Agreement was completed on July 5, 2000.

        On July 28, 2004 FEL purchased from Elron Electronic Industries Ltd. (“Elron”) 7,815,448 Ordinary Shares and Associated Rights for an aggregate purchase price of $196.5 million. In order to obtain some of the funds to purchase the 7,815,448 Ordinary Shares and Associated Rights from Elron, FEL entered into a loan agreement with Bank Leumi Le’Israel B.M. (the “Lender”), dated July 28, 2004 (the “Loan Agreement”) and two related security agreements with the Lender, each dated July 28, 2004 (each, a “Security Agreement”). A summary of the Loan Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and a summary of the Security Agreements is attached hereto as Exhibit 4. The remainder of the purchase price was paid by FEL from its own funds. As of December 1, 2006, approximately $60 million remains outstanding under the Loan Agreement and the outstanding amount is secured by 4,655,448 Ordinary Shares pledged in favor of the Lender.

        The shares so pledged are registered in the name of a trust company which is an affiliate of the Lender (the “Bank Trustee”). The Bank Trustee has granted FEL a proxy to vote the pledged Ordinary Shares. This proxy can be revoked by the Lender upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement. In addition, FEL agreed, if necessary to make payments under the Loan Agreement, to sell up to approximately 4 million Ordinary Shares previously held by it and to use the proceeds for payment of the Loan. In an amendment to the Loan Agreement, dated December 29, 2005, the number of shares to potentially be sold was reduced to 1,000,000. The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default.

        Pursuant to Israeli law, the Reporting Persons, together with the Issuer, may be considered, or prima facie deemed, to beneficially own the Ordinary Shares held by a wholly

9


owned subsidiary of the Issuer. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer holds 23,021 Ordinary Shares which are entitled to be voted. Therefore, the Reporting Persons may have the right to direct the vote of such Ordinary Shares and may be considered, or prima facie deemed, to beneficially own such Ordinary Shares. Each of the Reporting Persons currently beneficially owns 19,105,448 Ordinary Shares, except for HF which beneficially owns 3,836,458 Ordinary Shares.

Item 4.        Purpose of Transaction.

        On December 27, 2004, the Issuer signed a Share Transfer Deed (the “Original Tadiran Deed”) and a Shareholders Agreement (the “Original Tadiran Shareholders Agreement” and the transactions contemplated by the Original Tadiran Deed and the Original Tadiran Shareholders Agreement, the “Original Tadiran Acquisition”) with Koor Industries Ltd. (“Koor”) regarding the Issuer’s purchase from Koor of the 3,944,276 ordinary shares held by Koor in Tadiran Communications Ltd. (“Tadiran”) for overall consideration of approximately $146 million, based on a purchase price of $37.00 per share (subject to adjustment for dividends and interest). The Original Tadiran Acquisition was to be made in two stages. In “Stage A” (as defined in the Original Tadiran Deed), the Issuer purchased from Koor 1,700,000 ordinary shares of Tadiran. In “Stage B” (as defined in the Original Tadiran Deed), the Issuer was to purchase the balance (an additional 2,244,276 shares) of the Tadiran ordinary shares then held by Koor. On July 6, 2005, the Issuer and Koor entered into amendments to both the Original Tadiran Deed and the Original Tadiran Shareholders Agreement (hereinafter the “Amended Tadiran Deed”, the “Amended Tadiran Shareholders Agreement” and, collectively, the “Amended Tadiran Acquisition Agreements” or the “Amended Tadiran Transaction”). The major revisions in the Amended Tadiran Acquisition Agreements related to the addition of a “new Stage B”. Under the new Stage B the Issuer accelerated the purchase from Koor of 623,115 ordinary shares in Tadiran which represent approximately 5% of Tadiran’s shares, resulting in the Issuer holding a total of approximately 26% of Tadiran’s shares based on Tadiran’s current share capital. Under the Amended Tadiran Deed, the Issuer purchased the balance (an additional 1,621,161 shares) of the Tadiran shares held by Koor under a “new Stage C”. The total consideration for the Amended Tadiran Acquisition remains the same as under the original Tadiran Acquisition.

        Concurrently with the signing of the Original Tadiran Acquisition Agreements, Koor signed a Share Transfer Deed with FEL (the “Original Koor — FEL Deed”) and a Shareholders Agreement with FEL and HF (the “New Shareholders Agreement”) relating to the purchase by Koor from FEL of 4,000,000 ordinary shares of the Issuer, representing approximately 9.8% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares based on the Issuer’s current share capital (the “Koor – FEL Transaction”). (The Original Koor – FEL Deed and the New Shareholders Agreement are referred to as the “Original Koor – FEL Agreements” or the “Original Koor — FEL Transactions”). The total consideration that was to be paid by Koor to FEL under the Original Koor – FEL Transaction was approximately $99 million, based on a purchase price of $24.70 per Issuer share (subject to deductions for dividends paid by the Issuer). Interest is payable for any amounts paid after April 1, 2005.

        The Original Koor – FEL Transaction was to be consummated in two stages. “Stage A” (as defined in the Original Koor – FEL Deed) of the Original Koor – FEL Transaction closed concurrently with Stage A of the Tadiran Acquisition. “Stage B” (as defined in the Original Koor – FEL Deed) of the Original Koor – FEL Transaction was to occur concurrently with the original Stage B of the Tadiran Acquisition, subject to certain exceptions as described in

10


the Original Koor - FEL Deed. Pursuant to Stage A of the Original Koor – FEL Transaction, Koor purchased 2,160,000 ordinary shares, representing approximately 5.3% of the Issuer’s shares (based on the Issuer’s current share capital), and FEL supported the appointment of one director nominated by Koor to the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Issuer’s Board”). Under Stage B of the Original Koor – FEL Transaction, Koor was to purchase from FEL an additional 1,840,000 ordinary shares, representing approximately 4.5% of the Issuer’s shares (based on the Issuer’s current share capital), and FEL agreed to support the appointment of an additional director to be nominated by Koor to the Issuer’s Board (such that Koor nominees will consist of not less than 20% of the directors on the Issuer’s Board).

        On July 6, 2005, concurrently with the signing of the Amended Tadiran Acquisition Agreement, Koor and FEL entered into amendments to the Original Koor-FEL Deed (the “Amended Koor-FEL Deed”) and to the New Shareholders Agreement (the “Amended Koor — FEL Transaction”). Pursuant to the Amended Koor-FEL Deed, in Stage B Koor purchased 1,000,000 ordinary shares of the Issuer (representing approximately 2.45% of the Issuer’s shares based on the Issuer’s then current share capital) rather than 1,840,000 ordinary shares of the Issuer, as provided in the Original Koor-FEL Deed (representing approximately 4.5% of the Issuer’s shares based on the Issuer’s then current share capital). The closing of Stage B of the Amended Koor-FEL Transaction occurred on August 25, 2005 immediately following the closing of the New Stage B under the Amended Tadiran Acquisition Agreement. The Amended Koor-FEL Transaction was not conditioned on the completion of any stages of the Tadiran Acquisition and the Amended Koor — FEL Transaction was not subject to any conditions precedent.

        Following the completion of Stage B of the Amended Koor-FEL Deed, Koor owned 3,160,000 ordinary shares of the Issuer, representing approximately 7.75% of the Issuer’s shares based on the Issuer’s then outstanding share capital. The consideration per share that was paid by Koor to FEL remained the same as under the original Koor-FEL Deed, and the other provisions of the original Koor-FEL Agreements remained substantially the same.

        On November 27, 2006, FEL purchased from Koor 50,000 Ordinary Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $ $1,662,810 (which represents a price per share of $33.26 – the market price of the shares at that time) and subsequently, on November 27, 2006, FEL purchased from Koor, 2,300,000 ordinary shares at a price per share of $30.60 (the “Repurchased Shares”), representing approximately 5.6% of the Issuer’s shares based on the Issuer’s then outstanding share capital. The consideration per Repurchased Share payable by FEL to Koor is $30.60. At the closing, on November 27, 2007, (i) FEL paid Koor the purchase price for 460,000 of the Repurchased Shares and received such shares and (ii) the remaining 1,840,000 Repurchased Shares were registered in the name of FEL and then immediately registered in the name of a trust company (the “FEL Trustee”) and pledged in favor of Koor to secure future payments by FEL as described below. FEL will pay the purchase price for the remaining Repurchased Shares in four equal installments on March 26, 2007, June 26, 2007, September 26, 2007 and December 26, 2007 and has issued to Koor a debenture evidencing such payments. Upon making each future payment by FEL, 460,000 of the Repurchased Shares will be transferred by the FEL Trustee to FEL and the pledge on such shares in favor of Koor will be released. The FEL Trustee has granted FEL a proxy to vote the pledged Repurchased Shares.

11


        Concurrently with the purchase of the Repurchased Shares, FEL and Koor terminated the New Shareholders Agreement and Jonathan Kolber, Koor’s nominee to the Issuer’s Board of Directors, announced his resignation as a director of the Issuer.

        Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of their directors or executive officers, has any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.        Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

    (a)        The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (11) through (13) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D/A are incorporated herein by reference. As of December 1, 2006, each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns an aggregate of 19,128,469 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 45.50% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer (based on an aggregate of 42,029,023 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2006, excluding 385,900 Ordinary Shares held in treasury by the Issuer), except for HF which beneficially owns 3,836,458 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 9.12% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer (based on an aggregate of 42,029,023 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2006, excluding 385,900 Ordinary Shares held in treasury by the Issuer).

        Except as disclosed in this Item 5(a), none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of their directors or executive officers, beneficially owns any Ordinary Shares.

    (b)        The responses of the Reporting Persons to (i) Rows (7) through (10) of this Schedule 13D/A and (ii) Item 5(a) hereof are incorporated herein by reference.

        Except as disclosed in this Item 5(b), none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of their directors or executive officers, presently has the power to vote or to direct the vote or to dispose or direct the disposition of any of the Ordinary Shares which they may be deemed to beneficially own.

    (c)        On April 18, 2005 FEL and Koor consummated Stage A of the Original Koor-FEL Deed, dated December 27, 2004. Pursuant thereto, FEL sold Koor 2,160,000 Ordinary Shares at a price per share of $24.62. On August 25, 2005, FEL and Koor consummated Stage B of the Amended Koor-FEL Deed. Pursuant thereto, FEL sold Koor 1,000,000 ordinary shares at a price per share of $24.91. On November 27, 2006, FEL purchased from Koor 50,000 Ordinary Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $ $1,662,810 (which represents a price per share of $33.26 – the market price of the shares at that time) and subsequently, on November 27, 2006, FEL bought from Koor, 2,300,000 ordinary shares at a price per share of $30.60. As a result, each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns 19,128,469 Ordinary Shares, except for HF which beneficially owns 3,836,458 Ordinary Shares.

    (d)        Pursuant to Israeli law, the Reporting Persons, together with the Issuer, may be considered, or prima facie deemed, to beneficially own Ordinary Shares held by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer holds 23,021 Ordinary Shares which are entitled to be voted. Therefore, the Reporting Persons may have the right to

12


direct the vote of such Ordinary Shares and may be considered, or prima facie deemed, to beneficially own such Ordinary Shares.

        The remaining 4,655,448 Ordinary Shares and Associated Rights purchased from Elron are registered in the name of the Bank Trustee, which is an affiliate of the Lender. The Bank Trustee granted FEL a proxy to vote the pledged Ordinary Shares. This proxy can be revoked upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement. Upon the termination of the Loan Agreement, such Ordinary Shares will be re-registered under the name of FEL.

        1,840,000 of the Repurchased Shares are registered in the name of the FEL Trustee. The FEL Trustee granted FEL a proxy to vote the pledged Repurchased Shares. This proxy can be revoked upon the occurrence of an event of default under the debenture issued by FEL to Koor. Upon each payment for a portion of the Repurchased Shares, such Ordinary Shares will be re-registered under the name of FEL.

        Each of the Reporting Persons currently beneficially owns 19,128,469 Ordinary Shares, except for HF which beneficially owns 3,836,458 Ordinary Shares. The wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, however, retains the right to dispose of the Ordinary Shares held by it.

        Under the Loan Agreement, FEL undertook to oppose any amendment of the Issuer’s organizational documents that would adversely affect the Lender’s rights in connection with the pledged Ordinary Shares and Associated Rights. Failure to do so will be considered to be a default under the Loan Agreements.

    (e)        Not applicable.

Item 6.         Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

        The information set forth in Items 3 and 4 hereof is incorporated herein by reference.

        On July 5, 2000, upon consummation of the merger transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Elron, FEL and HF entered into a Registration Rights Agreement which governs the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the registration of their Ordinary Shares for sale in the United States. Elron’s rights under the Registration Rights Agreement were assigned to FEL on July 28, 2004. A copy of that agreement is set forth on Exhibit 2.

        An agreement among the Reporting Persons with respect to the filing of this Schedule 13D and any amendments hereto is attached as Exhibit 1.

        Under the Loan Agreement, FEL undertook to oppose any amendment of the Issuer’s organizational documents that would adversely affect the Lender’s rights in connection with the pledged Ordinary Shares and Associated Rights. Failure to do so will be considered to be a default under the Loan Agreements.

        Pursuant to the Security Agreements, the remaining 4,655,448 Ordinary Shares and Associated Rights purchased from Elron are pledged to the Lender. Such Ordinary Shares are registered in the name of the Bank Trustee, which is a trust company and an affiliate of the

13


Lender. The Bank Trustee granted FEL a proxy to vote the pledged Ordinary Shares. This proxy can be revoked by the Lender upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement. Upon the termination of the Loan Agreement, such Ordinary Shares will be released from the pledge and re-registered under the name of FEL.

        1,840,000 of the Repurchased Shares are registered in the name of the FEL Trustee. The FEL Trustee granted FEL a proxy to vote the pledged Repurchased Shares. This proxy can be revoked upon the occurrence of an event of default under the debenture issued by FEL to Koor. Upon each payment for a portion of the Repurchased Shares, such Ordinary Shares will be released from the pledge and re-registered under the name of FEL.

        Except as disclosed in this Item 6, none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of their directors or executive officers, are parties to any contract arrangement, understanding or relationship (legal or otherwise) with respect to securities of the Issuer.

11.   Wherever the amounts were rendered immediately payable as stated in this Debenture and not paid by Federmann, Koor may exercise at any time any measures it deems fit to collect the Secured Amounts and realize its rights under this Debenture, including by realization of all or part of the Encumbered Property, and applying the proceeds thereof to pay off the Secured Amounts, without Koor being under any obligation to first realize other guarantees or securities, if any.

2.   Appointment of the Trustee

  Federmann and Koor hereby irrevocably appoint the Trustee to act as Trustee commencing from the date of completion of the transaction and in accordance with the provisions of this agreement in relation to the trust shares (and in relation to all such securities and rights as have been allotted or assigned to the Trustee in connection with them or the proceeds thereof as stated hereunder in Section 5, as well as such dividends as have been distributed to the Trustee in respect of them, in so far as any have been distributed, and the profits of the trust that have accrued because of them, in so far as any have accrued). For the removal of doubt, Federmann and Koor may at any time, in a joint written instruction to the Trustee, terminate the trust under this agreement and in such a notification they may give it instructions as to whom the trust shares are to be transferred to as well as the additional assets (as such are defined below in Section 6.2).


3.   Transfer of the trust shares to the Trustee; actions on the date of completion of the transaction.

  On the date of completion of the transaction the following combined actions will occur (as part of the actions on the completion date in accordance with the sale agreement):

  3.1   Federmann will deliver the debenture to Koor it having been duly executed by Federmann.

  3.2   Federmann and the Trustee will execute a share transfer deed, in connection with transfer of the trust shares from Federmann to the Trustee, in the form attached hereto as Appendix 7.7(b) to the sale agreement and which is for convenience attached to this agreement as Appendix 3.2, and Federmann will deliver the said share transfer deed to the Company.

  3.3   On the same date Koor will deliver to the Company the share certificates that are in its possession, which include inter alia, all the sold shares, a copy of which is attached to the sale agreement as Appendix 7.8(a) and Appendix 7.8(b).

  3.4   The Company:

    3.4.1   Will register in the Company’s books, all the up to date holdings of Koor, Federmann and the Trustee in the Company’s shares immediately following the transaction completion date. Registration of the Trustee in the Company’s books will be accompanied by a notation to the effect of it being Trustee of the trust shares; and —

    3.4.2   Will issue new share certificates to each of Federmann, Koor and the Trustee, in the Company’s usual form, reflecting the holdings of Koor, Federmann and the Trustee in the Company immediately after the completion date of the transaction, when 4 share certificates will be issued to the Trustee, one for the portion of the trust shares the numbers of which are from 2,215,449 to 2,675,448 inclusive, the second for the portion of the trust shares the numbers of which are from 2,675,499 to 3,135,448 inclusive, the third for the portion of the trust shares the numbers of which are from 3,135,449 to 3,595,448 inclusive, and the fourth for the portion of the trust shares the numbers of which are from 3,595,449 to 4,055,448 inclusive.

  3.5   The Trustee shall execute a general power of attorney, a copy of which is hereby attached as Appendix 3.5 and shall deliver it to Federmann.


  3.6   The Trustee shall sign the notification to the Company, a copy of which is hereby attached as Appendix 3.6 and shall deliver it to Federmann for delivery to the Company. It is clarified that the Trustee need not examine whether the Company is performing all the provisions in terms of the notice and as to whether the amounts being remitted to it as dividends, if any, come within the definition of surplus amounts. In so far as such amounts are remitted to the Trustee, the Trustee will treat them as surplus amounts other than if the Trustee receives a written instruction from Federmann and Koor directing it otherwise.

  3.7   Koor and Federmann will furnish the Trustee with written confirmation that all such terms and conditions in the sale agreement that were supposed to have been satisfied on the date of completion of the transaction have been satisfied, except for such terms and conditions as have been waived by Koor and Federmann.

  All the foregoing actions specified in Section 3 herein, and in Section 7 of the sale agreement, shall be deemed to have been carried out contemporaneously; no isolated action shall be deemed to be complete and no single document shall be deemed to have been delivered, until all the actions are completed on the same occasion, and all the documents have been delivered.

4.   Exercise of rights arising from the trust shares

  4.1   Commencing from the date of completion of the transaction and for as long as the Trustee is holding the trust shares or any part of them:

    4.1.1    If Federmann is late in making any payment on time (or any part of such payment), and has not paid it within 14 (fourteen) days, Koor will serve written notice on Federmann through Federmann’s Attorney — the firm of M. Firon and Co.(“Federmann’s Attorney”) whose address is at 16 Abba Hillel Silver Road, Ramat Gan, and on the Trustee, and in which Federmann’s alleged breach shall be set out in detail, and supported by an affidavit of a senior officer of Koor (who shall make a declaration therein, inter alia, that he is a senior officer in Koor) with such notice including a demand for revocation of the power of attorney (“the Notice of Breach”). Shortly after receipt of the Notice of Breach the Trustee shall deliver a true copy thereof to Federmann’s Attorney. Within 10 (ten) days from the date on which a true copy of the Notice of Breach has been delivered to Federmann’s Attorney by the Trustee, and provided that within such 10 (ten) days it has not received a Court Injunction prohibiting it from doing so, the Trustee shall give notice to Federmann, Koor and the Company, whose address is at Matam Industrial Zone, Haifa, to the effect that the power of attorney has been revoked. It is clarified that in the case of revocation of the power of attorney the Trustee shall not exercise the voting rights attaching to the trust shares.


    4.1.2   For as long as no Notice of Breach has been received by the Trustee, any dividend, except for the surplus amounts that are remitted to the Trustee, which is being distributed in respect of each of the trust shares, shall be remitted direct to Federmann on the date on which it is distributed. Upon receipt of the Notice of Breach the Trustee shall notify the Company in writing at the address stated above in Section 4.1.1, that any dividend paid by the Company starting from such date in respect of the trust shares in its possession shall be paid to the Trustee until receipt of further notice on behalf of the Trustee. Dividends that are received by the Trustee shall be held in the manner stated hereunder in Section 4.4.

    4.1.3   Unless the Trustee is lawfully prohibited from doing so, any notice that reaches the Trustee in relation to the trust shares shall be forwarded by it to Federmann and to Koor.

  4.2   It is clarified that the Trustee shall bear no liability in connection with the exercise by Federmann of rights in respect of the trust shares (and including voting rights). The parties hereby instruct the Trustee to refrain from exercising any discretion in relation to the exercise of or realization of rights arising from the trust shares and the Trustee shall refrain from exercising any right arising from the trust shares and it shall be absolved from any liability in relation to refraining from doing so, including liability as a shareholder.

  4.3   For as long as no notice of breach has been received by the Trustee, all the additional assets (defined hereunder in Section 6.2, with the exception of dividends but including surplus amounts) that are received by the Trustee by virtue of the trust shares, if any are received, shall be held, deposited or invested, as the case may be, in accordance with explicit and clear written instructions of Federmann and Koor. In the absence of such instructions or in the absence of agreement between Koor and Federmann the Trustee shall deposit, invest, or hold them at its exclusive discretion and without any of the parties having any complaint in the matter, or, in so far as concerns sums of money, they shall be invested in dollar or shekel deposits upon such terms and conditions and for such periods, as are at the exclusive discretion of the Trustee and without any of the parties having any claim in the matter. Profits that accumulate in respect of the foregoing, if any, shall be remitted (after deduction of any commission, tax and other expenses that apply in respect of their management and holding by the Trustee) (“the profits”) in accordance with the provisions of this agreement, together with the amounts and/or rights in respect of which they have accumulated.

  4.4   In the case of a Notice of breach being received by the Trustee, all the additional assets (as defined hereunder in Section 6.2) which are received by the Trustee by virtue of the trust shares, in so far as any are received — shall be held, deposited or invested, as the case may be, in accordance with explicit and clear written instructions of Federmann and Koor. In the absence of such instructions or in the absence of agreement between Koor and Federmann the Trustee shall deposit, invest, or hold them at its exclusive discretion and without any of the parties having any claim in the matter, or, in so far as concerns sums of money, they shall be invested in dollar or shekel deposits upon such terms and conditions and for such periods, as are at the exclusive discretion of the Trustee and without any of the parties having any complaint in the matter. Profits that accumulate in respect of the additional assets, if any, shall be remitted (after deduction of any commission, tax and other expenses that apply in respect of their management and holding by the Trustee) (together with the profits, “profits of the trust”) in accordance with the provisions of this agreement, together with the additional assets in respect of which they have accumulated.


  4.5   The Trustee shall not be under an obligation to report any of the affairs of the trust to any of the parties, save where this has been expressly provided in this agreement. The Trustee will not be entitled to benefits from any amount that it holds in trust under this agreement but it will be entitled to set off commissions, taxes and any other expense or payment due to it in accordance with the provisions of this trust agreement for management of the trust shares (and any securities and rights which have been allotted or have been transferred to the Trustee in relation thereto or in consideration thereof as provided above [sic] in Section 5, as well as such dividends as have been distributed to the Trustee in respect of them, in so far as any have been distributed, and the profits of the trust that have accumulated in respect of them, in so far as any have accumulated).

  4.6   The Trustee shall not bear any liability for tax, commission, levy, fee or any other expense or payment in connection with the performance of its obligations under this agreement, including in connection with the receipt, holding and transfer of the trust shares, the dividends and the profits of the trust, and Federmann and Koor shall jointly and severally indemnify the Trustee immediately upon its first demand in respect of any such liability that is imposed on it by any party or in respect of any expense or payment incurred.

  4.7   In so far as the Trustee is legally liable to deduct tax at source, the Trustee shall make the required deduction unless it is furnished to its satisfaction with an exemption from deduction of tax at source.


5.   Adjustments

  5.1   In so far as during the period from the date of signature of this agreement and until each of the payment days, one or more of the events specified hereunder occurs, the number of trust shares and the number of shares being released on the relevant payment date shall be adjusted in accordance with the following provisions:

    5.1.1   If the Company distributes bonus shares to its shareholders prior to any payment date, as the case may be, there shall be added to the shares being released on such payment date, the bonus shares in respect of the shares being released on such payment date (whatever the payment date may be), they being free and unencumbered, and such bonus shares shall be deemed to be part of the shares being released on such payment date. At the time of distribution of the bonus shares in respect of the trust shares, the said bonus shares shall be allocated to the Trustee and share certificates shall be issued to the Trustee in respect thereof (according to the number of such share certificates in his possession at that time) and the Trustee shall be registered in the Company’s books as holding the said bonus shares in trust; in the case of a distribution of bonus shares as aforesaid, Federmann and Koor will serve a joint notice on the Trustee in which the total amount shall be specified of the bonus shares that are being allotted to the Trustee as well as the number of bonus shares included in such total amount as are to be released on any payment date.

    5.1.2   If the Company carries out a consolidation of, reduction in or division of its share capital or any other action of similar effect, the number of trust shares and the number of shares being released on the payment date (whenever such payment date may occur), shall be adjusted pro rata to such consolidation or division, and the Company shall issue a share certificate to the Trustee instead of the old share certificate reflecting the revised number of trust shares.

  5.2   If the Company offers its shareholders rights for the acquisition of any securities (“rights”) in such a case in so far as the last date for the exercise of such rights is later than the date of release of the shares being released on the payment date (or if it falls on the same day) such rights shall be vested even though they are in trust and shall be subject to the mortgage pursuant to the debenture and shall be released to Federmann or to Koor together with the shares being released on the payment date in respect of which they were offered in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 hereunder. Koor and Federmann shall give written notice regarding such rights and the shares being released to which such rights must be attributed.


  If the date of exercise of the said rights is prior to the date of release of the shares being released on the payment date in respect of which such rights were offered, Federmann will be entitled to exercise the said rights, either wholly or partially, by remitting the consideration for them to the Company stating that the consideration is being paid for the rights that have been offered in relation to the shares being released on the payment date, or any part thereof. The securities that are to be allotted for Federmann by virtue of such exercise of rights shall be allotted to the Trustee and shall be held by it in trust and shall be released, subject to what is stated hereunder, to Federmann together with the shares being released on the payment date in respect of which they were allotted. The Trustee shall act in accordance with a written notice from Federmann and Koor in which the number of shares that have been allotted shall be specified as well as the date of payment on which such shares are to be released to Federmann.

  If in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2 hereunder, the Trustee transfers to Koor, the shares being released on the payment date in respect of which such rights were allotted, in that event the Trustee shall proceed in accordance with one of the two instructions that are stated in the written notice that is given to it and to Federmann’s Attorney, by Koor: [a] to transfer to Koor, together with the shares being released on the payment date, the securities that have been issued in respect thereof; or — [b] to transfer the securities that have been issued to Federmann.

  5.3   All such rights, moneys or assets of any kind as are due or are offered by any party instead of the trust shares or in consideration for them, including securities in any other corporate body (as part of a merger, exchange of shares or any other event) shall be transferred to the disposal of the Trustee and shall be charged in accordance with the provisions of the debenture and the provisions of the trust agreement shall apply to them mutatis mutandis as if they had been trust shares. Where the Trustee has requested instructions regarding the way in which a particular asset is to be kept and/or held, which is not a security, Federmann shall give the Trustee instructions as to the manner in which it is to be held and shall bear all expenses of holding it.

6.   Transfer of the Trust Shares to Federmann or Koor
