3.         The Convertible Loan

	
  

	
3.1

	
Willi-Food will, within 24 hours of the date of the execution of this Agreement, deposit NIS 65 million (hereinafter: “the Deposit Amount”) in the Escrow Account and the terms of the Trust Agreement shall apply to the Deposit Amount (hereinafter: “the Deposit Date”).

	
  

	
3.2

	
The Deposit Amount will be deemed to be a loan as from the Deposit Date (hereinafter: “the Convertible Loan”) and the terms thereof will be as hereinafter set forth.

	
  

	
3.3

	
The Convertible Loan is a ‘bullet’ loan (principal, capital, CPI-indexed differentials and interest) and will be advanced for a period of one year from the Deposit Date or for a period of six months from the Completion Date, whichever is the earlier (hereinafter: “the Original Due Date”). The Convertible Loan will be CPI-indexed and bear annual interest at the rate of 5% calculated as compound interest (CPI-indexed) as from the Deposit Date until the relevant Due Date. Should the Updated Arrangement Track not be approved by the Court or in the event of the conditions precedent for its entering into effect not having been fulfilled, the Convertible Loan will be repaid and returned to Willi-Food before the Original Due Date (hereinafter: “the Prepayment Date”) together with CPI-indexed linkage and interest pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, and the terms herein contained.

	
  

	
3.4

	
Willi-Food may extend the Original Due Date to a date not being later than three years after the Completion Date (hereinafter: “the Extended Due Date”) by prior written notice to Newco of at least 30 days before the Original Due Date. Willi-Food may demand repayment of the Convertible Loan (principal, CPI-indexation and interest) as from the Original Due Date by written notice delivered to Newco 60 days in advance (“the Actual Due Date”).

	
  

	
3.5

	
The principal of the Convertible Loan, the interest and the CPI-indexation differentials will be paid to Willi-Food on the Due Date or on the Prepayment Date (“bullet”) as appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the conversion of the Loan according to the provisions contained in clause 4 hereof, the Convertible Loan shall bear no interest whatsoever or any CPI-indexation differentials (the loan being in its face value), and Willi-Food shall not be entitled in respect thereof to any payment of any kind whatsoever.

 

  

4

  

 

	
  

	
3.6

	
Should the Convertible Loan not be repaid on the Due Date or on the Prepayment Date, and 14 days have elapsed from the Due Date or the Extended Date (“the Grace Period”), the undischarged balance of the Convertible Loan (principal, CPI-linked indexation and interest accrued until such date) will bear default interest (in lieu of the interest specified under clause 3.3 above), at the rate of 1% per month (hereinafter: “Default Interest”) as from the expiration of the Grace Period until the full discharge of the Convertible Loan and all the indebtedness in respect thereof.

	
  

	
3.7

	
For the avoidance of any doubt, Willi-Food shall similarly be entitled to convert the Convertible Loan in lieu of repaying the same after having demanded repayment of the Convertible Loan or the Extended Due Date being passed, provided that the Convertible Loan has still not been fully repaid.

This clause 3 is a fundamental term of the Agreement and the breach thereof constitutes a fundamental breach hereof.

4.         Conversion of the Convertible Loan

	
  

	
4.1

	
Cumulative conditions precedent for converting the Convertible Loan (in addition to the conditions precedent according to the Updated Arrangement Track) are: (a) approval of the Commissioner to Willi-Food joining the Investor Group and the Shareholders Agreement; (b) Compliance with the Requirements of the Concentration Law. To the extent Willi-Food fails to comply with all or any of these conditions precedent in order to convert the Loan, it shall be entitled to transfer to any Third Party that does comply with the cumulative conditions precedent which, condition for the transfer, will convert the Convertible Loan on such transfer date and join the Shareholders Agreement as a party, including with respect to the put option according to this Agreement. Such transfer to a Third Party shall be subject to a preemptive right in favor of Newco pursuant to the preemptive right arrangement prescribed in clause 8 of the Shareholders Agreement.

	
  

	
4.2

	
The Convertible Loan in its entirety only, is convertible for the Conversion Shares at any time during the term commencing on the Completion Date until the Due Date, subject as provided in clause 3.7 above (hereinafter: “the Conversion Period”).

 

Conversion of the Convertible Loan for the Conversion Shares shall be effected by means of an irrevocable written notice to be given to Newco and the Trustee at least five business days before the conversion date (“Conversion Date” and “Conversion Notice” respectively).

 

	
  

	
4.3

	
Newco will, on the Conversion Date, transfer to Willi-Food the Conversion Shares that are held by the Trustee (as described in clause 6.1 hereof) ‘as is’ being Free and Clear, against the full discharge of the Convertible Loan, and Willi-Food will lift the charge registered in its favor as described in clause 6.1 hereof.

 

  

5

  

 

	
  

	
4.4

	
Willi-Food will, on the Conversion Date and as a condition for implementing the conversion, join by its signature to the Shareholders Agreement (in this Agreement referred to as: “the Shareholders Agreement”) attached hereto as Appendix C. The Shareholders Agreement in relation to Willi-Food will enter into effect on the Conversion Date. Newco will induce on the date on which Willi-Food joins the Shareholders Agreement, the amendment of the Shareholders Agreement in a manner whereby Willi-Food shall be entitled to appoint one director in the Company in a manner whereby the relationship between the Parties, for the duration of Willi-Food’s holding the shares of the Company, constituting at least 75% of the quantity of Willi-Food’s Conversion Shares, Willi-Food shall be entitled to recommend the appointment of one director of the Company and the terms of clause 6 of the Shareholders Agreement shall respectively apply also to Willi-Food. The foregoing as hereinbefore set forth will, mutatis mutandis, similarly apply to any Third Party as stated in clause 4.1 above.

This clause 4 is a fundamental term of the Agreement and the breach thereof constitutes a fundamental breach hereof.

5.         Put option on the Conversion Shares

	
  

	
In the event of Willi-Food having converted the Convertible Loan for Conversion Shares within the Conversion Period according to clause 4 above, the following provisions shall enter into effect:

	
  

	
5.1

	
Newco hereby grants Willi-Food an option to sell to it the Company’s shares that will be allotted to Willi-Food in the framework of the Updated Arrangement Track (“Willi-Food Shares”), in whole or in part, ‘as is’, being Free and Clear, in consideration of a realization price for the share that is equal to the nominal investment amount per share that Willi-Food has paid in respect of the Willi-Food Shares, with the addition of annual interest at the rate of 5% calculated on the basis of compound interest, as from the Conversion Date until the date of the exercise of the Put option; the same being unlinked to any index or currency (hereinafter in this clause called: “the Put Option”).

	
  

	
5.2

	
Willi-Food may exercise the Put Option subject to the Put Option Realization Shares (as hereinafter defined) being Free and Clear on the exercise date of the Put Option, as from the first trading date that will occur following 36 months of the Conversion Date until the expiration of 72 months from the Completion Date (hereinafter referred to in this clause as : “the Put Option Exercise Period”).

	
  

	
5.3

	
The realization of the Put Option will be made by giving written notice of realization in the form attached hereto as Appendix A to the Shareholders Agreement in which will be stated, inter alia, and as therein detailed, the realization date of the Option (hereinafter in this clause referred to as: “the Put Option Realization Notice” and “the Put Option Realization Date”, respectively), and will be given to Newco at least 90 days before the Put Option Realization Date (hereinafter referred to in this clause as : “the Last Put Option Realization Notice Date”).

	
  

	
5.4

	
Willi-Food will sell to Newco, on the Put Option Realization Date, that quantity of the Put Option Realization Shares that has been specified in the Put Option Realization Notice (hereinafter referred to in this clause as “the Put Option Realization Shares”), subject to their being Free and Clear, against the transfer of a cash payment in the amount equal to the number of the Put Option Realization Shares multiplied by the Put Option Realization Price per share (hereinafter: “the Realization Price”). In the event of non-payment of the Realization Price on that date, the Realization Price shall bear default interest at the rate of 0.75% per month as from the expiration of 30 days reckoned from the Put Option Realization Date (as specified in the Put Option Realization Notice) (in lieu of the annual interest according to clause 5.1 above).

 

  

6

  

 

	
  

	
5.5

	
On the expiration of the last date for delivering the Put Option Realization Notice (namely, 90 days before the expiration of the Put Option Realization Period), that part of the Put Option in respect of which no Realization Notice shall have been given, shall lapse and not confer upon Willi-Food any right whatsoever.

	
  

	
5.6

	
In the event of Willi-Food selling a portion of the Willi-Food Shares, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Put Option shall, in relation to those Shares, lapse.

	
  

	
5.7

	
The Put Option is in relation to the Company’s shares that will be allotted to Willi-Food in the framework of the Updated Arrangement Track only. The Put Option is personal and may not be transferred or assigned to any Third Party (save to Permitted Assignee) nor is it chargeable. In the event of a disposition of the Company’s shares held by Willi-Food (either voluntarily or involuntarily), the Put Option in relation to those shares as to which such disposition will have been made, shall lapse, it being clarified that the Put Option is not valid vis-à-vis any Third Party, who is subrogated to the rights of Willi-Food.

	
  

	
5.8

	
It is clarified that nothing herein contained shall prevent Willi-Food from selling the Willi-Food shares in the Company subject to the terms of this Agreement or transferring the same to a Permitted Assignee, at any given moment, subject to the terms of the Shareholders Agreement.

	
  

	
5.9

	
The Put Option is subject to adjustments in the event of a distribution of dividend, bonus shares, a rights issue, consolidation/split as described in Appendix B to the Shareholders Agreement.

	
  

	
5.10

	
The Put Option to Willi-Food shall similarly apply to the convertible debentures that will be issued to Willi-Food in the framework of the Updated Arrangement Track mutatis mutandis. The Put Option on the convertible bonds shall only be realizable after the realization of the Put Option in relation to all of the Willi-Food shares (to the extent that such shares have not been sold by Willi-Food and the Put Option in respect thereof has lapsed as described in clause 5.7 above).

	
  

	
5.11

	
In the event of Newco failing to pay the Realization Price on the date thereof and Emblaze failing to pay the Realization Price as its guarantor on the date thereof, then the following provisions shall apply:

	
  

	
a.

	
Newco will induce the immediate termination of the service of one director representing Dankner; the service of the director representing Yitzchak (to the extent that he is in service) as well as the service of such number of directors who represent Emblaze on the board of directors of the Company (IDB Holdings or the Special-purpose Company, as appropriate), and of the board of directors of IDB Development, in a manner whereby the number of directors representing Willi-Food together with the number of directors representing the other parties other than Newco or shareholders of Newco or their relations on the board of directors shall be equal to the number of directors representing Newco, the shareholders of Newco and their relations on the board of directors (that is, the directors representing Emblaze, Dankner and Yitzchak).

 

  

7

  

 

	
  

	
b.

	
Newco and Emblaze will be granted a six-month extension during which they shall have the right to pay the Realization Price (including the Default Interest according to clause 5.4 hereof), (against the transfer of Willi-Food Shares) as from the Put Option Realization Date by Willi-Food. During such six-month period, although such non-payment mentioned shall be deemed to be a breach towards Willi-Food, Willi-Food shall not be entitled to any relief nor shall it take any action or sanction against Newco and/or Emblaze (save as mentioned in sub-section (a) above), in connection with such non-payment of the Realization Price.

	
  

	
c.

	
In the event of payment of the Realization Price to Willi-Food (including the Default Interest according to clause 5.4 of this Agreement) having been paid, then the right to appoint directors on their behalf shall revert to Emblaze, Yitzchak and Dankner according to their rights under section 6.4 of the Shareholders Agreement (for the avoidance of any doubt, Willi-Food shall no longer be entitled to appoint a director on its behalf).

	
  

	
d.

	
If, by the end of the six-month period mentioned in sub-section (b) above, the Realization Price (including the Default Interest according to clause 5.4 of this Agreement), shall not have been paid to Willi-Food, then, in addition to its right described in sub-section (a) above, Willi-Food shall be entitled to take against Newco and/or Emblaze any relief that is enabled by law or under this Agreement in connection with such non-payment.

This clause 5 is a fundamental term of the Agreement and the breach thereof constitutes a fundamental breach hereof.

6.1

	
To secure the repayment of the Convertible Loan, Newco shall deposit on the Completion Date, the Conversion Shares in the Escrow Account, as detailed in the Instructions to the Trustee and will charge on the Completion Date mentioned the Conversion Shares by first degree charge in favor of Willi-Food. The Conversion Shares will be held by the Trustee (as defined in section 5 of the Fourth Schedule in trust for the benefit of Willi-Food and shall be charged by first degree charge in favor of Willi-Food). Newco shall not be entitled to effect any transaction with the Conversion Shares, including, but not merely, any additional charge.

	
  

	
6.2

	
The Instructions to the Trustee and the charging agreement shall be in the form applicable by virtue of the Fourth Schedule mutatis mutandis.
