“The Company undertakes to arrange that, insofar as the matter shall be within its control, the Series F Debentures and the Series G Debentures, insofar as issued (as well as debentures of other series, if and insofar as it is determined in their first offering report that the provisions of this section shall apply thereto) (in this section, the “Debentures of the Relevant Series”), shall be under rating follow-up by one rating agency at least, as long as Debentures of that series are in circulation (and without derogating from the generality of the aforesaid, in this framework, inter alia, the Company undertakes to make all of the payments and deliver the required reports to a rating agency, according to the provisions of the agreement therewith). For this matter it is clarified that the transfer of the Debentures to the watch list or any similar action which is taken by the rating agency shall not be deemed as termination of the rating.

Without derogating from the Company’s undertaking as aforesaid, in case that the Debentures of the Relevant Series are rated by one rating agency only, and the Company of its own initiative replaces the rating agency by another (single) rating agency, the Company shall publish an immediate report specifying the reasons for replacing the rating agency, within one trading day after the occurrence of the event. It is clarified that the aforesaid does not derogate from the Company’s right to replace a rating agency at any time, at its sole discretion and as it shall deem fit. If the Debentures of the Relevant Series stop being rated (i.e. they shall not be rated by any rating agency), the Company shall immediately give the Trustee a written notice of the reasons for termination of the rating, no later than one Business Day after the date of the termination of the rating.”

Addition of Section 4A of the Terms and Conditions Overleaf – Adjusting the Interest Rate as a Result of a Rating Change
 
Section 4 of the Terms and Conditions Overleaf shall be followed by Section 4A of the Terms and Conditions Overleaf as follows:
 
“4A.           Adjusting the Interest Rate as a Result of a Rating Change
 
With respect to Series F Debentures, Series G Debentures, if issued and if given a credit rating, the rate of the interest that these Debentures shall bear shall be adjusted due to a change in the rating of the Debentures. Insofar as Debentures of other series are issued, if and insofar as it is determined in their first offering report that the provisions of this section shall apply thereto (the “Debentures of the Additional Series”), and insofar as the Debentures of the Additional Series shall be given a credit rating, the first offering report of the Debentures of the Additional Series shall specify whether the interest rate that they bear shall be adjusted due to a change in the rating of the Debentures of the Additional Series. If the Company does not determine in the first offering report of the Debentures of the Additional Series that such adjustment is to be done, then no change shall occur in the interest rate that the Debentures of the Additional Series  shall bear as a result of a change in the rating of the Debentures of the Additional Series. The manner of adjusting the interest rate that the Debentures of the Additional Series shall bear, as aforesaid, if and insofar as it is adjusted, shall be in accordance with the mechanism described below, as specified in the first offering report of the Debentures of the Additional Series (in this section below, the Debentures of the Additional Series together with the Series F Debentures and the Series G Debentures shall be referred to as the “Debentures of the Relevant Series”, as the case may be).
 
 
4A1.
Insofar as the rating of the Debentures of the Relevant Series by a rating agency which shall be indicated in the first offering report or any other rating agency that shall replace it (in this section, the “Rating Agency”) shall be updated during any interest period, such that the rating that shall be determined for the Debentures of the Relevant Series shall be lower by two levels or more (the “Reduced Rating”) than the basic rating that shall be specified in the shelf offering report (or an equivalent rating that shall replace it as shall be determined by another Rating Agency, insofar as it shall replace the Rating Agency

that was indicated in the shelf offering report) (the “Basic Rating”), the rate of the annual interest that the unpaid balance of the principal of the Debentures of the Relevant Series shall bear shall increase by 0.25% above the rate of the annual interest that the Debentures of the Relevant Series shall bear, or above the rate of the annual interest that shall be determined in a tender as published by the Company in an immediate report concerning the results of the issuance, as the case may be (the “Basic Interest”), for the period commencing on the date of the next interest (i.e. commencing immediately after the period during which the relevant change in the rating occurred) until a full payment of the unpaid balance of the principal of the Debentures of the Relevant Series or, alternatively, until the Reduced Rating increases back to the Basic Rating, according to the earlier (in which case the provisions of Section 4A6 below shall apply). It is clarified that no additional interest shall be received for the period from the downgrade of the rating until the end of the interest period during which the rating of the Debentures was updated and that the interest shall not be decreased back for the period from the date on which the raring increased back to the Basic Rating (or a higher rating) until the end of the interest period during which the rating of the Debentures was updated (for example, if the interest period is from March to September and in April of a certain year a change of rating occurs which entails the decrease or increase of interest according to the terms specified below, then no change (increase or decrease) shall occur in the interest until the end of September of that year, but only from the beginning of October of that year).
 
 
4A2.
The interest rate that the Debentures of the Relevant Series shall bear shall be updated also in the case of further downgrading of the rating beyond the Reduced Rating (jointly: the “Further Reduced Rating”), such that: (a) in case that the determined rating shall be one level lower than the Reduced Rating – the rate of the annual interest that the unpaid balance of the principal of the Debentures of the Relevant Series shall bear shall increase by another 0.25%, such that it shall be equal to the Basic Interest plus 0.50%; (b) in case that the determined rating shall be two levels lower than the Reduced Rating, the rate of the annual interest that the unpaid balance of the principal of the Debentures of the Relevant Series shall bear shall increase by another 0.25%, such that it shall be equal to the Basic Interest plus 0.75%; (c) in case that the determined rating shall be three or more levels lower than the Reduced Rating, the rate of the annual interest that the unpaid balance of the principal of the Debentures of the Relevant Series shall bear shall increase by another 0.25%, such that it shall be equal to the Basic Interest plus 1%.
 
 
It is clarified that in no case shall the Basic Interest be increased by more than 1% as a result of a downgrade of the rating compared to the Basic Rating.
 
 
4A3.
No later than one Business Day after receiving the notice of the Rating Agency concerning the downgrade of the Debentures of the Relevant Series to the Reduced Rating as defined in Section 1A4 above or the

Further Reduced Rating, the Company shall publish an immediate report in which it shall specify: (a) the fact of the downgrade of the rating, the Reduced Rating (or the Further Reduced Rating) and the effective date of that rating of the Debentures of the Relevant Series (the “Rating Downgrade Date”); (b) the rate of the updated annual interest that the balance of the principal of the Debentures of the Relevant Series shall bear, for the period commencing on the next interest date (i.e. commencing immediately after the period during which the relevant change in the rating occurred); (c) the interest rate for the period which the balance of the principal of the Debentures of the Relevant Series shall bear with respect to the next periods, insofar as the terms of the Debentures of the Relevant Series shall determine that the interest for them be paid on more than one date each year.
 
It is clarified that in any case of change in interest as a result of change in rating as aforesaid in this section, no change shall occur in the dates of payment (principal of interest) or on the Effective Date in the Relevant Series (as defined above).
 
 
4A4.
In case of an update of the rating of the Debentures of the Relevant Series by the Rating Agency, in a manner that shall affect the rate of interest that the Debentures of the Relevant Series shall bear as aforesaid in this Section 4A, the Company shall notify the Trustee thereof within one Business Day from the date of publication of the immediate report as aforesaid.
 
 
4A5.
Insofar as the Debentures of the Relevant Series shall stop being rated for a reason dependent solely upon the Company, prior to their final payment, for a consecutive period exceeding sixty (60) days, provided that the interest rate was not increased as provided in Sections 4A1 and/or 4A2 above, it shall be determined in the first offering report of the Relevant Series of the Debentures of the Relevant Series whether the termination of the rating shall be deemed as a downgrade of the rating of the Debentures of the Relevant Series to the Reduced Rating as provided in Section 4A1 above or to another lower rating, as provided in Section 4A2 above. In this context, it shall be clarified that if it is so determined in the offering report as aforesaid, the provisions of Section 8.1.12 of the Indenture shall not apply. For this matter, and without derogating from the generality of the aforesaid, the default on payments to the Rating Agency, which the Company undertook vis-à-vis the Rating Agency to make, and the non-delivery of reasonable reports and information, which there is no legal impediment to deliver and are required by the Rating Agency in the framework of the engagement between the Company and the Rating Agency, shall be considered as reasons dependent solely upon the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby clarified that, if the Debentures stop being rated prior to their final payment due to a reason which is not dependent upon the Company, it shall not affect the interest rate as provided in Sections 4A1 and/or 4A2 above and in any case the provisions of this Section 4A shall not apply.

It is clarified that the replacement of the Rating Agency (if and insofar as the Company decides to replace it, as provided in Section 31 of the Indenture) shall not affect the interest rate as provided in Section 4A1 and/or 4A2 above and in any case the provisions of this Section 4A shall not apply, provided that the rating given by the new Rating Agency is an equivalent rating to the rating of the current Rating Agency on the replacement date.
 
 
4A6.
It shall be clarified that if, after the downgrade of the rating in a manner affecting the rate of interest that the Debentures of the Relevant Series bear as aforesaid, the Rating Agency upgrades the rating of the Debentures of the Relevant Series to a higher rating that the Reduced Rating (and respectively to a higher rating than the Further Reduced Rating) (the “High Rating”), the rate of the annual interest paid by the Company to the Debenture Holders of the Relevant Series shall decrease by an annual rate of 0.25% for each level as specified in Section 4A2 above until the rating above the Reduced Rating, in which case the rate of the annual interest, which the unpaid balance of the principal of the Debentures of the Relevant Series shall bear, shall be the Basic Interest rate with no additions, for the period commencing on the beginning of the next interest period (i.e. which commences immediately after the period during which the relevant change in the rating occurred) until the full payment of the unpaid balance of the principal of the Debentures of the Relevant Series or until the change in the rating of the aforesaid Debentures pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4A. In such case, the Company shall act in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4A2 to 4A4 above, mutatis mutandis.
 
 
4A7.
For the avoidance of doubt, it is clarified that a change in the rating horizon of the Debentures of the Relevant Series shall not entail a change in the interest that the Debentures shall bear as aforesaid in this section.
 
 
In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4A, the downgrade of the rating of the Debentures of the Relevant Series, which is done as part of updating the rating of all of the companies in Israel which engage in one or more of the Company’s business segments, as a result of changing the Rating Agency’s methodology only, shall not entail a change in the rate of interest that the Debentures of the Relevant Series shall bear.
 
 
4A8.
The Company undertook, in Section 31 of the Indenture, to arrange that, insofar as the matter shall be within its control, the Debentures of the Relevant Series shall be under rating follow-up by at least one Rating Agency, as long as Debentures of that series are in circulation (and without derogating from the generality of the aforesaid, in this framework, inter alia, the Company undertakes to make all of the payment and to submit all of the reports required for the Rating Agency, according to the provisions of the agreement therewith).
