Prepayment

After article 5 of the original trust note, article 5a will be added titled "Prepayment by the Company" as follows:

	 	
a)

	
The company will be entitled to execute, at any date beginning with the date of this amendment and until the complete payoff of the debentures, prepayment of the unpaid balance of the debentures in its entirety or partially, for their par value plus interest and linkage differentials accumulated  until the date of prepayment. Prepayment of the debentures as stated above will not entitle those who held those debentures the right for payment of interest and any additional payments for the time period after the due date.

 

  

4

  

 

	
  

	
b)

	
Prepayment will be executed according to a written notice which will be given from the company to the trustee and will be published by the company in the Magna system no sooner than 30 days and no later than 45 days after the date of publishing of said announcement. The date of prepayment will not be between the due date for interest payment and the date of its actual payment. In the case of partial prepayment the company will specify in the notice (to the trustee and via the Magna) the amount of payoff and its part of the original unpaid balance and the interest rate for the unretired balance, divided into the sums of the principal the interest and the linkage differentials, and the deciding date for entitlement (which will be 12 days before the set prepayment date, or any other date per exchange directives), and in the case of a partial prepayment, the company will attach to the notice to the trustee a new amortization schedule for the unpaid balance as it will be after execution of the partial prepayment.

In case a prepayment is made in a quarter the company is required to make a principal and/or interest payment, prepayment will be done at the date of the principal and/or interest payment.

	
  

	
d)

	
To remove any doubt, if the company prepays part of the debentures, the balance of the debentures in circulation for which no written notice was made regarding prepayment as specified above, will not be prepaid by the company, and its principal and interest will be paid according to the terms of the debentures as specified in the original trust note and this amendment, with future payments being proportionately reduced (i.e.  the unpaid balance of the principal will be considered as paid in equal parts from the remaining principal payment).

	
  

	
e)

	
In the case of partial prepayment, prepayment will be executes pro-rata for each holder of the debentures.

	
  

	
f)
