A Permitted Factoring Transaction

		6.1	
As of the date of execution of this Amendment and until the Final Repayment Date, Section 16.16 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended such that the existing section shall be deleted and the following shall come in its stead:

		"16.16	
The Borrower and/or any of the held companies shall not perform Permitted Factoring Transactions in an aggregate sum that at any time exceeds 20 (twenty) million US dollars (hereinafter: the "Allowed Factoring Sum").

Notwithstanding that stated, the Borrower and/or any of the held companies shall be permitted to perform Factoring Transaction (which shall be considered Permitted Factoring Transactions according to the provisions of this agreement) with respect to the sale of their rights to receive accounts receivables from the following clients:

		a.	
Clients that are among the R Group, in accordance with the transaction with the R Group dated June 17, 2013, in an additional aggregate sum which shall not, at any time, in total, exceed 50 million dollars (fifty million US dollars).

6

		b.	
Clients that are among the P Group (including the P company), in an amount which shall not, at any time, in total, exceed 10 million dollars (ten million US dollars) (hereinafter: a "P Transaction").

For the removal of doubt, that stated above shall not derogate from the right of the Borrower or of any of the held companies to perform other Permitted Factoring Transactions with the R Group or with P up to the Allowed Factoring Sum. The Borrower or any of the held companies shall not perform a Factoring Transaction that is not a Permitted Factoring Transaction or any other transaction in the framework of which any of the rights to receive accounts receivables belonging to any of them, shall be sold, endorsed, assigned or otherwise transferred. For the removal of doubt it is clarified that the responsibility to comply with the undertaking under this Section 16.16 lies solely on the Borrower and the held companies, and that a Lender shall be responsible for non-compliance with the said restriction only in the event in which such Lender itself performed Factoring Transactions with the Borrower and/or with a held company in an amount that, at such time, exceeds the Allowed Factoring Sum.

For the removal of doubt, it shall be clarified that the Borrower must confirm that the amount of a Permitted Factoring Transaction be subtracted from the customers' balance, in accordance with acceptable accounting principles.

Additionally, it is agreed that if and to the extent the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any amounts whatsoever to Bank Hapoalim as a result of a P Transaction, then such debt shall be deemed to be part of the "Credit" and of the "Guaranteed Amounts".

		7.	
Miscellaneous

		7.1	
Upon the execution of this Amendment, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lenders (via the Manager) a detailed report with respect to all of the Permitted Factoring Transactions that were made thereby until the execution of this Amendment, at such detail that is to the Lenders' satisfaction.

7

		7.2	
Unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Amendment, the terms and conditions and the obligations specified in this Amendment do not derogate from or prejudice or modify any other undertaking of the Borrower towards the Lenders or the validity of any security whatsoever that was made available to the benefit of the Securities' Trustee for the Lenders, under and by virtue of the Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any other agreement or document that was or shall be delivered to the Lenders or to a position holder with respect to the Credit, and these shall continue to have full and binding force, including all of the provisions relating to the Lenders' rights to make the Credit immediately payable, all in accordance with and subject to the provisions and the terms and conditions of the Credit Documents.

		7.3	
This Amendment, unless explicitly stated otherwise herein, is meant to be in addition to all that is stated in the Credit Agreement and in the Amendments, and shall not derogate from or modify or prejudice them, and other than as explicitly specified in this Amendment, all of the rights of the Lenders and of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, the Amendments and applicable law, are fully reserved.

 

		7.4	
This Amendment may be signed by its Parties in one copy or in several separate copies by any of the Parties, which shall all constitute one document.
