In case any officer of the Issuer who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Issuer, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such officer of the Issuer, and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the proper officers of the Issuer, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an officer.

Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Notes in certificated form. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Notes in certificated form and thereupon any or all temporary Notes may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes in certificated form. Such exchange shall be made by the Issuer at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Notes in certificated form authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.08. Cancellation of Notes. All Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, conversion, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Issuer or any paying agent or any Note registrar or any conversion agent, be surrendered to the Trustee and promptly canceled by it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly canceled by it, and no Notes shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of such canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures.

Section 2.09. CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, as appropriate, in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

Section 8.01. Agreement to Subordinate.

(a)

The Issuer agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that all payments pursuant to the Notes made by or on behalf of the Issuer are subordinated to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 8 to all existing and future obligations of the Issuer under the Credit Facility and that such subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the Lenders.

(b)

Each Noteholder agrees and acknowledges that the Trustee and or the Co-Trustee shall refrain from initiating any proceeding or acting in any other way against the Issuer due to the provisions of this Article 8. Each Noteholder waives any right or claim against the Trustee and/or the Co-Trustee based, inter-alia, on the grounds that the Trustee or the Co-Trustee should have initiated any proceeding or act in any other way in spite of the provisions of this Article 8 while claiming that Article 8 does not comply with any applicable law.

(c)

In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relating to the Issuer or its assets, or any liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of the Issuer, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshalling of assets or liabilities of the Issue, all existing and future obligations of the Issuer under the Credit Facility must be paid in full in cash before any payment is made on account of the principal of or interest on the Notes.

Section 8.02. Postponement of Payments. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the date for payment of any interest or principal on the Notes may be postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.03 below, with interest continuing to accrue at its regular rate.

Section 8.03. Postponement of Payments to the Noteholders if Defaults Occur Under the Credit Facility. (a) In the event of the existence of a default, as such term is defined in the Credit Facility (a “Credit Facility Event of Default”), on a Bank Payment Date, then, subject to the provisions below, no payment of principal or interest on the Notes shall be made and the holders and any person or entity acting on their behalf (including the Trustees) shall not be entitled to take any action against the Issuer in connection with such non-payment, unless such non-payment shall continue for a period of more than six (6) months commencing on the applicable Bank Payment Date falling immediately prior to the date of the scheduled payment in respect of the Notes due immediately after the Bank Payment Date (a “Six Month Period”). The Issuer shall notify the holders and the Trustees of any Credit Facility Event of Default.

- 26 -

(b) During the Six Month Period, the following shall apply:

(i)

If during such period, the Issuer shall make any payment to the Lenders on account of interest or principal under the Credit Facility, then, on the date of such payment to the Lenders, or promptly thereafter, the Issuer shall make a payment on account of interest or principal then due and payable in respect of the Notes, such payment to be made at the same percentage of the interest or principal then due and payable on the Notes proportionate to the portion of the payment actually made to the Lenders to the amount (interest and principal as the case may be) due and payable under the Credit Facility as of the payment date;

(ii)

In the event that during such Six Month Period the Lenders and the Issuer shall reach an agreement regarding a rescheduling of payments by the Issuer to the Lenders under the Credit Facility, such rescheduling shall apply pro rata also to payments of principal and/or interest, as the case may be, in respect of the Notesand the holders of the Notes shall be bound by such rescheduling agreement, provided that any such rescheduling agreement shall apply only to payments (of principal and/or interest) scheduled to be made under the Notes and under the Credit Facility during the period of 12 (twelve) months from the relevant Bank Payment Date, and shall postpone the scheduled payment under the Notes to a date falling not more than 12 (twelve) months after the scheduled date for such payment pursuant to the terms of the Notes. (All payments, whether of interest or principal, in respect of the Notes rescheduled under any such rescheduling agreement, shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Rescheduled Note Payments”; the date of payment of Rescheduled Note Payments shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Rescheduled Note Payment Date”; and all payments, whether of interest or principal under the Credit Facility, rescheduled under such a Rescheduling Agreement, shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Rescheduled Facility Payments”.) Pursuant to any such rescheduling agreement, the Issuer shall pay to the holders of the Notes, such amounts on account of principal and/or interest, which, together with the aggregate of all payments (of principal and/or interest) actually made prior to such Rescheduled Note Payment Date in respect of the Rescheduled Note Payments under the rescheduling agreement comprises the same percentage of the scheduled repayments of principal or interest, of the aggregate Rescheduled Note Payments rescheduled under such Rescheduling Agreement as the aggregate Rescheduled Facility Payments under such rescheduling agreement actually made prior to such Rescheduled Note Payment Date comprise of the aggregate Rescheduled Facility Payments rescheduled under such Rescheduling Agreement. Alternatively, such rescheduling agreement may provide that payments of principal and interest on account of the Notes shall, with effect from the termination of such Six Month Period, be made to the holders of the Notes in accordance with the original schedule under the terms of the Notes, provided that amounts not paid during such Six Month Period, or prior thereto shall be postponed to be paid pro rata to those payments not made to the Lenders during such Six Month Period or prior thereto and the holders of the Notes shall be bound by such an agreement. If during the rescheduling period another Credit Facility Event of Default shall occur, the aforementioned provisions shall again apply. For the removal of doubt, in the event of the existence of a Credit Facility Event of Default during or after any rescheduling period under this Article 8.03(b)(ii), (including non-payment on the due date of any amount of principal or interest, whether pursuant to any rescheduling agreement or otherwise), the provisions of this Article 8.03(b)(ii) shall again apply, mutatis mutandis (all without derogating from Article 8.03(c) below).

(e) In the event that, contrary to the provisions of this Section 8.03, the holders of the Notes (or, as applicable, any person or entity acting on their behalf, including, subject at all times to Section 8.08, the Trustees) shall receive any payment, distribution or benefit, the recipient thereof shall be deemed to hold same on trust for the Lenders and shall forthwith pay or transfer to the Lenders any payment, distribution or benefit so received.

(i)

impair, as among the Issuer, its creditors other than Lenders and the Holders of the Notes, the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Notes the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms;

Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for Ordinary Shares which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued, and shall be accompanied by transfer or similar taxes, if required pursuant to this Indenture.

As promptly as practicable after satisfaction of the requirements for conversion set forth above, subject to compliance with any restrictions on transfer if shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in a name other than that of the Noteholder (as if such transfer were a transfer of the Note or Notes so converted), the Issuer shall issue and shall deliver to such Noteholder at the office or agency maintained by the Issuer for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion of such Note as determined by the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of this Article 14, calculated by the Issuer as provided in Section 14.03.

Section 14.04. Adjustment of Conversion Price. Except as set forth in this Section 14.04 below, the Conversion Price will be adjusted if:

(a)

In the event that by [ ], 2006, the Issuer consummates one or more financings (excluding the offering under which the Notes were issued) in which the Issuer receives gross proceeds from each such financing that equal or exceed $5 million, the Conversion Price of the Notes will be adjusted to 90% of the lowest price per share (as calculated below) at which the Issuer sold securities in any one of these financings, provided that the lowest price per share at which the Issuer sold securities in any one of these financings is lower than the original Conversion Price. The Issuer shall issue a press release, with a copy to the Trustee and Co-Trustee, to announce the adjusted Conversion Price on the fifth TASE Trading Day after_____ __, 2006 and the adjustment will take effect on the first TASE Trading Day following the twenty-first day after the date of the press release.

(b)

In the event that by [ ], 2006, the Issuer does not receive in any one financing (excluding the offering under which the Notes were issued) gross proceeds that equal or exceed $5 million, but executes prior to [ ], 2006, one or more agreements relating to transactions which have not closed, letters of intent, memorandums of understanding or similar agreements or understandings, for a proposed financing or financings, which have not been abandoned prior to [ ], 2006, and the Issuer receives in any one of these financings gross proceeds that equal or exceed $5 million by [ ], 2007, then, the Conversion Price will be adjusted to 90% of the lowest price per share (as calculated below) at which the Issuer sold securities in any of these financings, provided that the lowest price per share at which the Issuer sold securities in any one of these financings is lower than the original Conversion Price. The Issuer shall issue a press release, with a copy to the Trustee and Co-Trustee, to announce the adjusted Conversion Price on the fifth TASE Trading Day after _____ __, 2007 and the adjustment will take effect on the first TASE Trading Day following the twenty-first day after the date of the press release.

In the event that the Issuer executes prior to ______ __, 2006 one or more agreements, letters of intent, memorandums of understanding or similar agreements or understandings for a proposed $75 million financing that is not consummated prior to______ __, 2006, even if the Issuer receives gross proceeds of at least $5 million in a financing by ______ __, 2006, then the Conversion Price will be subject to the aforementioned adjustment only following ______ __, 2007, and if the Issuer consummates the aforementioned $75 million financing by _____, 2007, the price per share in such financing will be taken into account for such purposes.

Notwithstanding the adjustment to the Conversion Price provided for in this Section 14.04, the Issuer may at its discretion elect that such adjustment shall not and will not apply in certain circumstances as provided in this Section 14.04 below.

A “financing” for purposes of adjustments to the Conversion Price means:

(a)

the sale of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares, warrants or additional convertible debentures, other than employee options, existing outstanding warrants, employee options, convertible debentures or other rights; and

(b)

the conversion of existing debt of the Issuer into equity, other than the conversion of existing wafer credits into the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares and existing convertible debentures.

The Issuer shall calculate the price per share for the purposes of the adjustment to the Conversion Price as follows:

(a)

If, in the financing or financings the Issuer issues only Ordinary Shares, the price per share for the purposes of calculating the adjustment will be the price per Ordinary Share in the financing or financings.

(b)

If, in the financing or financings the Issuer issues only convertible debentures, the price per share for the purposes of calculating the adjustment will be the result of dividing the purchase price of the debentures issued in the financing or financings less the present value of the cumulative amount of interest payable prior to the last conversion date of the debentures issued in the financing or financings, by the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures issued in the financing or financings.

- 39 -

(c)

If, in the financing or financings the Issuer issues only warrants, the price per share for the purposes of calculating the adjustment will be the purchase price of the warrants less the difference between the economic value of the warrants and the purchase price of the warrants, plus the present value of the exercise price of the warrants.

(d)

If, in the financing or financings the Issuer issues units consisting of Ordinary Shares and warrants, the price per share for the purposes of calculating the adjustment will be the result of dividing the purchase price per unit in the financing or financings, less the economic value of the warrants, by the number of Ordinary Shares in each unit (not including the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants).

(e)

If, in the financing or financings the Issuer issues units consisting of convertible debentures and warrants, the price per share for the purposes of calculating the adjustment will be the result of dividing the price per unit in the financing or financings, less the present value of the cumulative amount of interest payable prior to the last conversion date of the debentures issued in the financing or financings and less the economic value of the warrants included in the units, by the number of Ordinary Shares in each unit issuable upon conversion of the debentures issued in the financing or financings, but not including the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

(f)

If, in the financing or financings the Issuer issues units consisting of Ordinary Shares and convertible debentures, the price per share for the purposes of calculating the adjustment will be the result of dividing the purchase price per unit in the financing or financings, less the present value of the cumulative amount of interest payable prior to the last conversion date of the debentures issued in the financing or financings, by the number of Ordinary Shares in each unit including the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures issued in the financing or financings.

(g)

If, in the financing or financings the Issuer issues units consisting of Ordinary Shares, convertible debentures and warrants, the price per share for the purposes of calculating the adjustment will be the result of dividing the price per unit in the financing or financings, less the present value of the cumulative amount of interest payable prior to the last conversion date of the debentures issued in the financing or financings and less the economic value of the warrants included in the units, by the number of Ordinary Shares in each unit including the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures issued in the financing or financings, but not including the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

For the purposes of the adjustments set forth above, the “economic value” of the warrants will be calculated according to the Black and Scholes model as set forth in the TASE Rules for registered companies based on the average closing price of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares on NASDAQ (or such other stock exchange or quotation system on which the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares are listed in that the event that they cease to be traded on NASDAQ) during the 15 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date on which the financing agreement is signed. The interest rate for this calculation will be the interest rate as published by the TASE on the date of the relevant financing.

For the purposes of the adjustments set forth above, the “present value” will be calculated using the interest rate then applicable to the long term loans (more than 12 months maturity) under the Credit Facility. In the event that the financing or financings is denominated in a currency other than United States dollars, the amounts in the financing or financings will be converted to United States dollars according to the last known exchange rate on the date of the consummation of the relevant financing.

- 40 -

In the event that by [ ], 2006 or by [ ], 2007 (in the event that the Issuer executes prior to ______ __, 2006 one or more agreements, letters of intent, memorandums of understanding or similar agreements or understandings for a proposed $75 million financing, as described in this Section 14.04 above, even if the Issuer receives gross proceeds of at least $5 million in a financing by ______ __, 2006), as applicable, the Issuer consummates a financing or series of related financings (excluding the offering under which the Notes were issued) in which the Issuer receives gross proceeds of at least $75 million, the Issuer may, at its discretion, elect that the adjustment to the Conversion Price set forth in this Section 14.04 above shall not apply and will no longer apply. Following the signing of an agreement for a financing or series of related financings in which it is contemplated that the Issuer may receive gross proceeds of at least $75 million, if the Issuer so elects, it shall announce such election, subject to the consummation of such $75 million financing, by the filing of a Report on Form 6-K to be filed with the Commission and in an Immediate Report as well as in a notice to be published in two Israeli newspapers with wide circulation in Israel. When such $75 million financing has been consummated, the Issuer will announce such consummation by filing a report on Form 6-K and in an Immediate Report in Israel, as well as a notice to be published in two Israeli newspapers with wide circulation in Israel. In the event that the Issuer has elected that the Conversion Price shall not be subject to adjustment, then:

(a)

(b)

If the closing price of the Issuer’s ordinary shares on NASDAQ (or such other stock exchange or quotation system on which its ordinary shares are listed in the event that they cease to be traded on NASDAQ) on the trading day immediately prior to the date on which the $75 million financing is consummated is equal to or is lower than [$_____], then the Notes will be subject to mandatory redemption in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.03. Notes will not be convertible during the 16 day period prior to redemption thereof. Therefore, in the event such redemption shall have been announced, the Notes shall only be convertible for the period (which may be as few as five days but no more than fourteen days) after announcement by the Issuer and before the commencement of the 16-day period.

Section 14.05. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, Bonus Shares, Rights Offerings.

(a)

If the Issuer shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of its Ordinary Shares into a greater or lesser number of Ordinary Shares (by reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Ordinary Shares) then, upon conversion of Notes following the record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares to be affected by such subdivision or consolidation, the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion of each Note will be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by such number of Ordinary Shares that would have been received if such Note had been converted on the record date fixed for such subdivision or consolidation.

(b)

If the Issuer shall effect a distribution of bonus Ordinary Shares then, upon conversion of Notes following the record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to the bonus share distribution, the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion of each Note will be increased by such number of Ordinary Shares that would have been received if such Note had been converted on the record date fixed for the bonus share distribution.

(c)

In the event of the Issuer shall consummate a rights offering to its shareholders of any type of its securities prior to the conversion of the Notes, the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Notes shall be adjusted to take into account the element of economic benefit in the future rights offering as is represented by the ratio between the price per share of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares on the effective date of the future rights offering and the opening price per share of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares that is established by the TASE on the following TASE Trading Day. If the TASE does not establish an opening price per share of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares, no adjustment in the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes will be made with respect to such future rights offering.

- 41 -

(d)

In the event of a consolidation or merger of the Issuer with another Person as a result of which the Issuer is not the surviving Person, the Issuer shall provide notice to the Trustees prior to the date of consummation of such consolidation or merger. Notes which are not converted prior to the date of consummation of such consolidation or merger shall no longer be convertible. The surviving Person shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) providing that each Note shall continue to hold such rights and/or privileges with respect to payment of interest and/or principal from the surviving Person as further set forth in section 12.01.

The Issuer shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each holder of Notes, at its address appearing on the Note register provided for in Section 2.05 of this Indenture, within twenty (20) days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers and combinations.

If Section 14.05(d) applies, thereafter, the adjustments under Section 14.04 shall no longer apply.

Section 14.06 Reserved.

Section 14.07. Taxes on Shares Issued. The issue of stock certificates on conversions of Notes shall be made without charge to the converting Noteholder for any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax in respect of the issue thereof. The Issuer shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of stock in any name other than that of the holder of any Note converted, and the Issuer shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Issuer the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Issuer that such tax has been paid.

Section 14.08. Reservation of Shares, Shares to Be Fully Paid; Compliance with Governmental Requirements; Listing of Ordinary Shares. The Issuer shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient Ordinary Shares to provide for the conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion.

Upon taking any action which would cause an adjustment to the Conversion Price to an amount that would cause the Conversion Price to be reduced below the then par value, if any, of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Issuer will take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue Ordinary Shares at such adjusted Conversion Price.

The Issuer covenants that all Ordinary Shares which may be issued upon conversion of Notes will upon issue be fully paid and non-assessable by the Issuer and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

The Issuer covenants that, if any Ordinary Shares to be provided for the purpose of conversion of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued upon conversion, the Issuer will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission (or any successor thereto), endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

- 42 -

The Issuer further covenants that, if at any time the Ordinary Shares shall be listed on the NASDAQ National Market and the TASE or any other national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Issuer will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long as the Ordinary Shares shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes; provided that if the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system permit the Issuer to defer the listing of such Ordinary Shares until the first conversion of the Notes into Ordinary Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer covenants to list such Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with the requirements of such exchange or automated quotation system at such time.

Section 14.09. Responsibility of Trustees. The Trustees and any other conversion agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any holder of Notes to determine the Conversion Price or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Price, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustees and any other conversion agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Ordinary Shares, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustees and any other conversion agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustees nor any conversion agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Issuer to issue, transfer or deliver any Ordinary Shares or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Issuer contained in this Article 14. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustees nor any conversion agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 14.05 relating to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Issuer shall be obligated to file with the Trustees prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.

Section 14.10. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case of the taking of any of the actions listed in Section 14.05 above or of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Issuer, the Issuer shall cause to be filed with the Trustees and to be mailed to each holder of Notes at his address appearing on the Note register provided for in Section 2.05 of this Indenture, as promptly as possible but in any event at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such distribution of bonus shares, or rights offering, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Ordinary Shares of record to be entitled to such bonus shares, or to participate in such rights offering are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such, consolidation, merger dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or occur.

Waivers of Events of Default. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 9.04 of the Indenture, shall have the right (subject to the next sentence below) to direct, in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Indenture, a waiver, on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes, of any past default or Event of Default and its consequences, provided that such direction to waive is given at a meeting of the Noteholders, in accordance with Article 10 of the Indenture, and that such waiver be approved by the vote of holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 9.04, who also hold at least 75% of the principal amount of the Notes present or represented in that Noteholders meeting.

Upon any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustees and the holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights under the Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default under the Indenture shall have been waived as permitted by Section 6.07 of the Indenture, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and the Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
