The term of the Shareholders Agreement is twenty years from May 19, 2003 which may be extended by agreement of all parties thereto, and may be terminated as to any party in certain circumstances as set forth therein.

Ganden, Manor and Livnat pledged their shares of IDB Holding to certain financial institutions as collateral for the repayment of certain loans in an aggregate principal amount of $219 million borrowed by Ganden, Manor and Livnat to finance part of the price which they paid for the shares of IDB Holding purchased by them. The scheduled repayment dates of these loans are spread over a period of 12 years ending in May 2015. The pledges will be in effect until the loans are fully repaid, and include, among other things, certain restrictions relating to the disposition of, and the exercise of the voting rights attached to, the pledged shares. The lenders may realize the pledges and also may accelerate the repayment dates of the loans, in several different events (some of which will not be considered for such purpose to have occurred if rectified as provided for in the agreements relating to the loans) including, among others, default by the borrowers in performing their obligations under the agreements relating to these loans; the occurrence of events that entitle a third party to accelerate the repayment of other debts of the borrowers, or certain debts of IDB Holding or any of several specified companies held by it; if the borrowers or IDB Holding or certain of its major subsidiaries enter into certain extraordinary transactions such as a merger or reorganization, or sale or acquisition of major assets, or resolve to be voluntarily wound up, without the lenders’ consent; if any of such entities becomes subject to insolvency, receivership or certain other similar proceedings; if certain financial ratios with respect IDB Holding, or a certain minimum ratio between the value of the collateral and the outstanding balance of the loans, are not met; if the shares of IDB Holding or certain of its major subsidiaries are delisted from trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange; if the Shareholders Agreement is amended without the lenders’ consent, or the control of the borrowers is changed;

 

13



 

and the occurrence of a material adverse change in the financial condition of IDB Holding, which in the lenders’ opinion may jeopardize the repayment of the loans, or an adverse change in the financial condition of certain entities and persons  controlling the borrowers, which in the lenders’ opinion may jeopardize the payment of certain contingent financial liabilities of such entities and persons in connection with the loans.

By reason of the control of IDB Holding by Nochi Dankner, Shelly Dankner-Bergman, Ruth Manor and Avraham Livnat, and the relations among them, as set forth above, Nochi Dankner, Shelly Dankner-Bergman, Ruth Manor and Avraham Livnat may each be deemed beneficial owner of, and to share the power to vote and dispose of, the Ordinary Shares owned directly by Clal Technologies, Clal Industries and IDB Development.
