  (v)          cause the sale of fractional shares so as to most expediently preclude or remove any fractional shareholding and cause the proceeds thereof, less expenses, to be paid to the transferors.

  (c)           The Board of Directors may elect to maintain one or more Registers of Shareholders outside of Israel in addition to its principal Register of Shareholders, and each such register shall be deemed a Register of Shareholders for purposes of these Articles.

Calls on Shares
  (a)           The Company may, from time to time, make such calls as the Board of Directors may determine upon holders of shares in respect of any sum unpaid for shares held by such holders which is not, by the terms of allotment thereof or otherwise, payable at a fixed time, and each such holder shall pay the amount of every call so made upon him (and of each installment thereof if the same is payable in installments), to the Person(s) and at the time(s) and place(s) designated by the Board of Directors, as any such time(s) may be thereafter extended and/or such Person(s) or place(s) changed. Unless otherwise stipulated in the resolution of the Board of Directors (and in the notice hereafter referred to), each payment in response to a call shall be deemed to constitute a pro rata payment on account of all shares in respect of which such call was made.
  (b)           Notice of any call shall be given in writing to the holder(s) in question not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the time of payment, specifying the time and place of payment, and designating the Person to whom such payment shall be made, provided, however, that before the time for any such payment, the Company upon approval of the Board of Directors may, by notice in writing to such holder(s), revoke such call in whole or in part, extend such time, or alter such Person and/or place.  In the event of a call payable in installments, only one notice thereof need be given.
  (c)           If, by the terms of allotment of any share or otherwise, any amount is made payable at any fixed time, every such amount shall be payable at such time as if it were a call duly made by the Company and of which due notice had been given, and all the provisions herein contained with respect to such calls shall apply to each such amount.
  (d)           The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof and all interest payable thereon.
  (e)           Any amount unpaid in respect of a call shall bear interest from the date on which it is payable until actual payment thereof, at such rate (not exceeding the then prevailing debitory rate charged by leading commercial banks in Israel), and at such time(s) as the Board of Directors may prescribe.
  (f)           Upon the allotment of shares, the Board of Directors may provide for differences among the allottees of such shares as to the amount of calls and/or the times of payment thereof.
  (g)           With the approval of the Board of Directors, any holder of shares may pay to the Company any amount not yet payable in respect of his shares, and the Board of Directors may approve the payment of interest on any such amount until the same would be payable if it had not been paid in advance, at such rate and time(s) as may be approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may at any time cause the Company to repay all or any part of the money so advanced, without premium or penalty.  Nothing in this Article 11(g) shall derogate from the right of the Company to make any call before or after receipt by the Company of any such advance.

  12.
Forfeiture and Surrender
  (a)           If any holder fails to pay any amount payable in respect of a call, or interest thereon as provided for herein, on or before the day fixed for payment of the same, the Company, by resolution of the Board of Directors, may at any time thereafter, so long as the said amount or interest remains unpaid, forfeit all or any of the shares in respect of which said call had been made.  Any expense incurred by the Company in attempting to collect any such amount or interest, including, inter alia, attorneys' fees and costs of suit, shall be added to, and shall, for all purposes (including the accrual of interest thereon), constitute a part of the amount payable to the Company in respect of such call.
  (b)           Upon the adoption of a resolution of forfeiture, the Board of Directors shall cause notice thereof to be given to such holder, which notice shall state that, in the event of the failure to pay the entire amount so payable within a period stipulated in the notice (which period shall not be less than fourteen (14) days and which may be extended by the Company with the approval of the Board of Directors), such shares shall be ipso facto forfeited, provided, however, that, prior to the expiration of such period, the Board of Directors may nullify such resolution of forfeiture, but no such nullification shall estop the Board of Directors from adopting a further resolution of forfeiture in respect of the non-payment of the same amount.
  (c)           Whenever shares are forfeited as herein provided, all dividends theretofore declared in respect thereof and not actually paid shall be deemed to have been forfeited at the same time.
  (d)           The Company, by resolution of the Board of Directors, may accept the voluntary surrender of any share.
  (e)           Any shares forfeited or surrendered as provided herein shall become “dormant shares” (as defined in the Companies Law) and the property of the Company, and the same, subject to the provisions of these Articles, may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of as the Board of Directors deems fit.
  (f)           Any holder whose shares have been forfeited or surrendered shall cease to be a holder in respect of the forfeited or surrendered shares, but shall, notwithstanding, be liable to pay, and shall forthwith pay, to the Company, all calls, interest and expenses owing upon or in respect of such shares at the time of forfeiture or surrender, together with interest thereon from the time of forfeiture or surrender until actual payment, at the rate prescribed in Article 11(e) above, and the Company, in its discretion, may enforce the payment of such moneys, or any part thereof, but shall not be under any obligation to do so.  In the event of such forfeiture or surrender, the Company, by resolution of the Board of Directors, may accelerate the date(s) of payment of any or all amounts then owing by the holder in question (but not yet due) in respect of all shares owned by such holder, solely or jointly with another.
  (g)           The Board of Directors may at any time, before any share so forfeited or surrendered shall have been sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of, nullify the forfeiture or surrender on such conditions as it deems fit, but no such nullification shall estop the Board of Directors from re-exercising its powers of forfeiture pursuant to this Article 12.
   13.
Lien
  (a)           Except to the extent the same may be waived or subordinated in writing, the Company shall have a first and paramount lien upon all the shares (other than shares which are fully paid up) registered in the name of each holder (without regard to any equitable or other
 
 - 9 -
  claim or interest in such shares on the part of any other Person), and upon the proceeds of the sale thereof, for his debts and liabilities, solely or jointly with another, to the Company in respect of such shares, 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 share.  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) existing on such shares immediately prior to such transfer.
  (b)           The Board of Directors may cause the Company to sell any shares subject to such lien when any such debt or liability has matured, in such manner as the Board of Directors may deem fit, but no such sale shall be made unless such debt or liability has not been satisfied within fourteen (14) days after written notice of the intention to sell shall have been served on such holder, his executors or administrators.
  (c)           The net proceeds of any such sale, after payment of the costs thereof, shall be applied in or toward satisfaction of such debts and liabilities of such holder (whether or not the same have matured), or any specific part of the same (as the Company may determine), and the residue (if any) shall be paid to the holder, his executors, administrators or assigns.
   14.
Sale after Forfeiture or Surrender or in Enforcement of Lien
  Upon any sale of shares after forfeiture or surrender or for enforcing a lien, the Board of Directors may appoint some Person to execute an instrument of transfer of the shares so sold and cause the purchaser's name to be entered in the Register of Shareholders in respect of such shares, and the purchaser shall not be bound to see to the propriety of the proceedings, or to the application of the purchase money, and after his name has been entered in the Register of Shareholders in respect of such shares, the validity of the sale shall not be impeached by any Person, and the remedy of any Person aggrieved by the sale shall be in damages only and against the Company exclusively.

Until the transferee has been registered in the Register of Shareholders in respect of the shares so transferred, the Company may continue to treat the transferor as the owner thereof.  The Board of Directors may, from time to time, prescribe a fee for the registration of a transfer.
  - 10 -
  (b)           The Company shall be entitled to refuse to recognize a transfer deed until the certificate of the transferred share is attached to it together with any other evidence which the Board of Directors or the Secretary shall require as proof of the transferor’s right to transfer the share and payment of any transfer fee determined by the Board of Directors.

  (b)           The sale, assignment or transfer to any third parties (including shareholders in the Company) other than DIC of all or part of the Ordinary Shares held by an Original Minority Shareholder without the prior written consent of DIC shall be null and void, and the Company shall not recognize or give any effect thereto.
  (c)           The sale, assignment or transfer to any third parties (including shareholders in the Company) of all or part of the Ordinary Shares held by an Original Minority Shareholder may not be effected unless the following conditions are met: (i) there is a formal written offer from a proposed purchaser (the “Proposed Purchaser”) for the acquisition of such Ordinary Shares with payment to be made in cash; and (ii) the acquisition is subject to the agreement of the Proposed Purchaser to be bound by the terms of the agreement between the Original Minority Shareholders and DIC.
  (d)           Any Original Minority Shareholder (the “Minority Offeror”) intending for any reason to sell, transfer or assign any number of its Ordinary Shares in the Company (the “Minority Offeror’s Shares”) shall notify DIC of same in writing stating the price per share and payment terms offered (the “Minority Offeror's Notice”).
  (e)           The Minority Offeror'sNotice shall be conclusively deemed an irrevocable offer made by the Original Minority Offeror to sell to DIC the Minority Offeror’s Shares under the terms specified in the Minority Notice and in the manner herein below provided (the “Minority Offeror's Offer”).
  (f)           DIC shall have a period of thirty (30) Business Days from the date the Minority Offeror'sNotice is delivered thereto to notify the Minority Offeror of its desire to accept the Minority Offer (“DIC Acceptance Notice”). If DIC shall not have given the DIC Acceptance Notice within the said 30-day period, it shall be conclusively deemed to have rejected the Minority Offer.

At the Closing, the Minority Offeror’s Shares shall be sold and transferred against payment of the consideration therefor, in accordance with the terms specified in the Minority Offeror'sNotice.
  - 11 -
  (h)           In the event the Minority Offeror shall fail to transfer the Minority Offeror’s Shares as aforesaid in accordance with the DIC Acceptance Notice, DIC shall be entitled to deposit the entire consideration specified in the Minority Offeror'sNotice with the Company, and thereupon the Company may appoint any Person to execute adequate instruments of transfer and the name DIC shall be entered into the Register of Shareholders as the holder of the Minority Offeror’s Shares so purchased and the name of the Minority Offeror shall be removed therefrom with respect to the Minority Offeror’s Shares. As of the entry of DIC’s name in the Register of Shareholders in respect of such shares, the validity of the sale shall not be rebuttable, and the sole right of the Minority Offeror would be to obtain the entire consideration for the Minority Offeror’s Shares deposited with the Company.
  (i)           If a Minority Offeror intends to transfer all or part of its Ordinary Shares in the Company as aforesaid and DIC which has expressed its interest in exercising its above stated right of first refusal is impeded by provisions of the Cellular License or the Other Licenses or applicable law with which it must comply, from acquiring all or part of such shares, then DIC may designate a Person that will qualify in its stead to acquire the shares which it would have been otherwise entitled to purchase provided such Person is not prohibited from acquiring such shares pursuant to the Cellular License or Other Licenses or applicable law.

The Company shall send notice of any Contravening Holdings to the registered holder of the Contravening Holdings and to the Minister of Communications.
  (b) Contravening Holdings shall not entitle the holder thereof to any rights in respect of such holdings and shall be deemed “dormant shares” as defined in the Companies Law, except with respect to receiving dividends or other distributions to shareholders (including the right to participate in any rights offering calculated on the basis of holding of any Means of Control, provided that any additional holdings acquired as a result of the exercise of such right to participate in a rights offering shall also become Contravening Holdings). Therefore, any action taken or claim made on the basis of a right deriving from Contravening Holdings shall have no effect from the time that the Company becomes aware thereof, except with respect to receiving dividends or other distributions as aforesaid.
  (c) Without derogating from the foregoing:
  - 12 -
  (i) Contravening Holdings shall not have any voting rights at a General Meeting. Any shareholder participating in a General Meeting shall certify to the Company prior to the vote or, if the shareholder is voting by a proxy or any similar instrument, onsuch proxy card or similar instrument, as to whether or not his holdings in the Company or his vote require the approval by the Minister of Communications pursuant to Sections 21 or 23 of the Cellular License (or the similar provisions of the Other Licenses) or whether such shareholder is in violation of Section 24 of the Cellular License (or the similar provisions of the Other Licenses); in the event that any shareholder does not provide notification as aforesaid, he shall not be entitled to vote at a General Meeting and his vote shall not be counted.
  (ii) No Director shall be appointed, elected or removed on the basis of Contravening Holdings. In the event a Director is appointed, elected or removed on the basis of Contravening Holdings, such appointment, election or removal shall be void from the time that the Company becomes aware thereof.
  (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Articles 18(a) through 18(c) shall not apply to holdings of Founding Shareholders. The Persons who undertake towards the Company to be deemed a Founding Shareholder and approved as such by the Minister of Communications shall hold in the aggregate at least 26% of each of the Means of Control of the Company, or such lower percentage thereof as may be approved from time to time by Minister of Communications.
  (e) The shareholders of the Company shall at all times comply with the terms of the Cellular License and the Other Licenses. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring or permitting the performance of any acts that are inconsistent with the terms of the Cellular License or the Other Licenses. If any of these Articles shall be found to be inconsistent with the terms of the Cellular License or the Other Licenses, the inconsistent provisions of such article shall be null and void, but the validity, legality or enforceability of provisions of other provisions shall not be affected thereby. Without derogating from the foregoing, the Founding Shareholders shall comply at all times with the Minimum Israeli Holding Percentage set forth in the Cellular License and the Other Licenses, as such may be amended from time to time.
   18A.
Security Committee; Security Observer; Qualifications of Directors and Officers
  (a)           Notwithstanding any other provision in these Articles, the Board of Directors shall appoint from among its members a Committee of the Board of Directors to be designated the “Security Committee”. The Security Committee shall be comprised of at least four (4) Directors, including at least one External Director, all of whom have security clearance and security compatibility as determined by the Israeli General Security Service (“Directors with Clearance”). Subject to Article 18A(b) below, security matters shall be considered only by the Security Committee. Any decision of, or action by, the Security Committee shall have the same effect as if it had been made or taken by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall consider a security matter only if required pursuant to Article 18A(b) below, and subject to the terms of that Article. For purposes of this Article 18A, “security matters” shall mean as defined in the Israeli Bezeq Order (Determination of Essential Service Provided by Bezeq-The Israeli Telecommunications Company Ltd.), 1997.
  (b)           Security matters which the Audit Committee or Board of Directors shall be required to consider in accordance with the mandatory provisions of the Companies Law or other law or rules applicable to the Company shall be considered, to the extent necessary, only by Directors with Clearance. Other Directors shall not be entitled to participate in
 
 - 13 -
  meetings of the Audit Committee or Board of Directors dealing with security matters, or to receive information or to review documents related to these matters. A quorum for these meetings shall include only Directors with Clearance.
  (c)           Any Director or officer of the Company who would otherwise be required to receive information or participate in meetings regarding security matters by virtue of his position or these Articles or any law, but who is prevented from doing so by the provisions of this Article 18A, will be released from any liability for any claim of breach of duty of care to the Company which results from his inability to receive such information or participate such in meetings.
  (d)           The General Meeting shall not be entitled to assume, delegate, transfer or exercise any of the authorities granted to any other corporate body in the Company with respect to security matters.
  (e)           (i)           The Minister of Communications shall be entitled to appoint an observer (the “Security Observer”) to all meetings of the Board of Directors and its Committees. The Security Observer shall have the security clearance and security compatibility as determined by the Israeli General Security Service.
  (ii)           The Security Observer shall be an employee of the State of Israel qualified to serve as a director pursuant to Chapter C of the Israeli Governmental Companies Law, 1975.
  (iii)           In addition to any other obligations under law, the Security Observer shall be bound to preserve the confidentiality of any information relating to the Company, except as required to fulfill his responsibilities as Security Observer. The Security Observer shall not act as an observer or in any other position at an entity providing communication services which is a direct competitor of the Company, and shall avoid a conflict between his position as an observer and the interests of the Company, except for such conflicts arising from his being an employee of the State of Israel serving as a Security Observer. The Security Observer shall undertake not to serve as an observer or officer or director, and not serve in any other capacity or be employed, directly or indirectly, by any entity competing with the Company or in a position of conflict of interest with the Company, except for such conflicts arising from his being an employee of the State of Israel serving as a Security Observer, during the period of his service as the Security Observer and for 18 months after termination of such period. Any differences of opinion with respect to whether the Security Observer has a conflict of interest as described above shall be resolved by the Attorney General of Israel or his representative.
  (iv)           Notices of meetings of the Board of Directors and its Committees, including of the Security Committee, shall be delivered to the Security Observer, and he shall be entitled to participate as an observer in each such meeting.
  (v)           The Security Observer shall have the same right to obtain information from the Company as that of a Director. If the Company believes that specific information requested is commercially sensitive and not required by the Security Observer for fulfillment of his duties, the Company may delay delivery of the information upon notice to the Security Observer. If the Security Observer still believes the information is needed for his duties, the matter shall be brought for decision to the head of the Israeli General Security Service.
  (vi)           If the Security Observer believes that the Company has made a decision, or is about to make a decision, in a security matter which conflicts with a provision
 
 - 14 -
  of the Cellular License or the Other Licenses or Section 13 of the Israeli Communications Law (Telecommunications and Broadcasting), 1982 or Section 11 of the Israeli General Security Service Law, 2002, he shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the same. Said notice shall be delivered to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the chairman of the Security Committee, and shall provide an appropriate defined period of time, in light of the circumstances, in which the Company shall be required to correct the violation or change the decision, to the extent possible.
  (f)           To the extent required by the Cellular License or the Other Licenses, specific Directors (including the Chairman) and/or officers, and/or a specified percentage of the Directors shall be Israeli Citizens and Israeli Residents and/or have clearance from the Israeli General Security Service.

No Persons other than holders of record of Ordinary Shares as of such record date shall be entitled to notice of and to participate in and vote at such General Meeting, or to exercise such other right, as the case may be. A determination of holders of record with respect to a General Meeting shall apply to any adjournment of such meeting, provided that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for an adjourned meeting.
  (b)           Subject to the applicable law, the holders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, shall be the shareholders on the date upon which it was resolved to distribute the dividend or at such later date as shall be determined by, or pursuant to a resolution of, the Board of Directors.

  (b)           A company or other entity which is not an individual being a holder of Ordinary Shares of the Company may be represented by an authorized individual at any meeting of the Company.  Such authorized individual shall be entitled to exercise on behalf of such holder all the power, which the latter could have exercised if it were an individual shareholder.  Upon the request of the chairman of the meeting, written evidence of such authorization (in form acceptable to the chairman) shall be delivered to him. The chairman of the meeting, in his sole discretion, shall be entitled to accept or reject a purported representative.
  - 18 -
  (c)           Any holder of Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the General Meeting may vote thereat either personally or by proxy (who need not be a shareholder of the Company), or, if the shareholder is a company or other corporate body, by a representative authorized pursuant to Article 31(b).

If the Company disseminates a form of written ballot in connection with a General Meeting, then a vote by a properly completed and delivered written ballot shall be considered a vote at such General Meeting.
  (f)           Subject to the provisions of applicable law, the Secretary of the Company may, in his discretion, disqualify proxies, proxy cards, written ballots or any other similar instruments, and notify the shareholder who submitted such proxy, proxy card, written ballot, authorization or similar instrument, in the following cases:
  (i)           If the Secretary reasonably suspects that they are forged;
  (ii)          If the Secretary reasonably suspects that they are falsified, or given with respect to shares for which one or more proxies or written ballots have been given and not withdrawn; or
  (iii) If there is no indication on such proxy, proxy card, written ballot or similar instrument as to whether or not the holding in the Company or the vote of such shareholder requires the approval of the Minister of Communications pursuant to the provisions of the Cellular License or the Other Licenses.
  (g)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, for as long as DIC is a shareholder of the Company, DIC shall hold whatever voting power that is attached to any and all Ordinary Shares held by the Original Minority Shareholders for any purpose whatsoever. Accordingly, DIC shall be entitled to vote all such shares at all General Meetings and the Original Minority Shareholders shall not be entitled to receive notice with respect to such meetings and/or attend and/or vote at the same.

  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Ordinary Shares acquired by an Original Minority Shareholder after the Company’s initial public offering of its Ordinary Shares shall not be subject to this Article 31(g) (other than Ordinary Shares initially held by an Original Minority Shareholder and subsequently transferred to a third party subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth in Articles 17(a) through 17(j) above).
