30.                               The notice shall name a day (not being less than seven (7) days from the date of the notice) and a place or places on and at which such call or installment and such interest, said linkage differentials and expenses as aforesaid are to be paid. The notice shall also state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time and at the place appointed, the shares in respect of which the call was made or installment is payable will be liable to be forfeited.

 

31.                               If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any share in respect of which such notice has been given may, at any time thereafter, before payment of all calls or installments, interest, said linkage differentials and expenses, due in respect thereof, be forfeited by a resolution of the Board of Directors to that effect. Such forfeiture shall include all dividends declared in respect of the forfeited shares and not actually paid before the forfeiture.

33.

34.                               The Board of Directors may at any time, before any share so forfeited shall have been sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of, annul the forfeiture on such conditions as it thinks fit.

 

35.                               The Company shall have a first and paramount lien upon all the shares registered in the name of each shareholder, and upon the proceeds of sale thereof, for his debts, liabilities and engagements arising from any cause whatsoever, solely or jointly with any other person, to or with the Company, whether the period for the payment fulfillment or discharge thereof shall have actually arrived or not. Such lien shall extend to all dividends from time to time declared in respect of such shares. Unless otherwise provided, the registration by the Company of a transfer of shares shall be deemed to be a waiver on the part of the Company of the lien (if any) on such shares.

 

36.                               For the purpose of enforcing such lien, the Board of Directors may sell the shares subject thereto in such manner as it thinks fit; but no sale shall be made until the period for the fulfillment or discharge of the debts, liabilities and engagements as aforesaid shall have arrived, and until notice in writing of the intention to sell shall have been served on such shareholder, his executors or administrators, and default shall have been made by him or them in the payment, fulfillment or discharge of such debts, liabilities or engagements for seven (7) days after such notice.

 

37.

38.                               Upon any sale after forfeiture or for enforcing a lien in exercise of the powers herein before given, the Board of Directors may appoint some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the shares sold and cause the purchaser’s name to be entered in the register in respect of the shares sold, and the purchaser shall not be bound to see to the regularity of the proceedings, or to the application of the purchase money, and after his name has been entered in the register in respect of such shares, the validity of the sale shall not be

 

10











 

impeached by any person, and the remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale shall be in damages only against the Company exclusively.

(a)                                 The Vendor shall so notify the Other Holders describing in such notification the identity of the proposed purchaser and the material terms of such proposed sale. Upon receipt of such notice, each Other Holder shall have the right to exercise the option contained in Article 42.1(b) below.

 

(b)                                 Each of the Other Holders shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to the Vendor, within twenty (20) days after receipt of the notice described in Article 42.1(a) above, to require the Vendor to provide as part of his proposed sale that each of the Other Holders be given the right to participate, on the same terms and conditions as the Vendor, in the sale pro rata in proportion to the respective numbers of shares owned at such time by the Other Holders who participate in the proposed sale. If any Other Holder shall not respond to such notice in the specified time frame, it shall be deemed a refusal to participate in such sale.

 

The Vendor will not sell shares in the Company which are subject to restrictions set forth in this Article 42, if the Other Holders cannot sell their shares in such transaction in accordance with this Article 42.1(b), unless the holders of the a majority of the Other Holders waive such right in writing.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding the aforementioned in this Article 42 and Article 43 hereof, in

the event that the Vendor sells, or agrees to sell, shares of the Company in one transaction or in a series of transactions which result in the change in control of the Company (“Change of Control Transaction”), the Other Holder shall have the right to participate in such transaction and to sell all their shares in the Company in the framework and under identical terms and conditions of that same transaction. A Change of Control Transaction shall mean any transaction pursuant to which a person or an entity which is not a shareholder of the Company and which is not an affiliate of a shareholder or which is not a Permitted Transferee (“Purchaser”) shall acquire more than fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. In the event that the Purchaser shall refuse to purchase all of the Other Holders shares, then the Vendor shall not enter into a Change of Control Transaction in which the Other Holders cannot sell all their shares, unless the majority of the Other Holders waive such right in writing. The following procedure shall apply to a Change of Control Transaction:

 

(i)                                     The Vendor shall notify the Other Holders of a Change of Control Transaction describing in such notification the identity of the proposed purchaser and the material terms of such proposed sale.

15











 

Holders be given the right to sell all shares in the Company held by such Other Holders in the proposed sale. If any Other Holders has not responded to such notice in the specified time frame, it shall be deemed to be a waiver of its right to participate in such sale.

 

(d)                                 In the event that an Vendor should sell any shares in contravention of this Article 42 (a “Prohibited Transfer”) such Prohibited Transfer shall be null and void and the Board of Directors shall not effect any transfer of shares which constitutes a Prohibited Transfer.

 

(e)                                  The provisions of this Article 42 shall terminate, with respect to the Vendor, upon the earliest of (a) the initial public offering of the Company, (b) the 4th anniversary of the incorporation of the Company. For clarification purposes the parties agree that the restriction on the sale or transfer of shares set forth in this Articles shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any sale or transfer of shares in or any other company through which the Vendor holds shares in the Company.

 

(f)                                   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 42, the provisions of this Article 42 will not apply to the transfer of shares to a Permitted Transferee of the transferor.

 

43.                               Bring Along Rights

44.                               No transfer of shares shall be registered unless a proper instrument of transfer has been submitted to the Company, coupled with the certificate for the shares

to be transferred, and any other evidence as the Board of Directors may reasonably require of the title of the transferor to transfer his shares.

The Board of Directors may meet together, upon at least three (3) days prior written notice, and adjourn their meetings and otherwise regulate their meetings and proceedings as they think fit. A director shall be entitled to waive this notice requirement. His attendance at a meeting of the Board of Directors shall itself constitute such a waiver.

 

87.                               No business shall be transacted at any meeting of the Board of Directors unless a notice of the meeting has been given to all directors in accordance with Article 86 (or waived in writing by all directors), and a quorum of directors is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business.

At such postponed meeting, a quorum shall be formed with the attendance of at least a majority of the directors then in office or such other number of directors as may be determined from time to time by the shareholders in general meetings. Notwithstanding anything contained in Article 86 to the contrary, in the event the director appointed by Meytav has been duly notified of this meeting of the Board of Directors, but has failed to attend for no reasonable reason, then such an absence shall not impair the quorum requirements for the convening of the Board of Directors and the meeting shall be deemed duly convened.

 

88.                               No business shall be transacted at a meeting of the Board of Directors unless the requisite quorum is present at the commencement of the meeting, and no

93.                               A resolution in writing signed by all members of the Board of Directors or to which all members of the Board of Directors have agreed in writing or fax or by cable or telex or electronic mail shall be as valid and effective for all purposes as if passed at a meeting of the Board of Directors duly convened and held.

 

94.                               Meetings of the Board of Directors may be held through computer network, telephone, radio or any other media of communication, enabling the Directors to communicate with each other and hear each other simultaneously, in the presence of all of them, provided due prior notice detailing the time and manner of holding a given meeting is served (orally or otherwise) upon all the Directors.

(2)                                 11% of the Exempt Salary, if the employer paid, in addition, a payment to the Disability Insurance, and in such case the Employer’s Payments shall be only in lieu of 72% of the Employee’s severance pay;

 

In the event the employer has made payments in addition to the foregoing payments to supplement severance pay to a benefit fund for severance pay or to an Insurance Fund in the employee’s name in an amount of 21/3% of the Exempt Salary, the Employer’s Payments shall replace 100% of the employee’s severance pay.

(2)                                 No later than three months from the commencement of the Employer’s Payments, a written agreement was executed between the employer and the employee which included:

 

(a)                                 the employee’s consent to an arrangement pursuant to this approval in a text specifying the Employer’s Payments, the Pension Fund and Insurance Fund, as the case may be; the said agreement shall also include the text of this approval;

 

(b)                                 an advance waiver by the employer of any right which he may have to a refund of monies from its payments, except in cases in which the employee’s right to severance pay was denied by a final judgment pursuant to section 17 to the Law and/or in cases in which if such severance pay was denied the employee has withdrawn monies from the Pension Fund or Insurance Fund other than by reason of an entitling event; for these purposes “Entitling Event” means death, disability or retirement at or after the age of 60.

 

(3)                                 This approval is not such as to derogate from the employee’s right to severance pay pursuant to any law, collective agreement, extension order or employment agreement, in respect of salary over and above the Exempt Salary.
