1.

	
Nature of the obligation

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
1.1

	
Bank
  Hapoalim BM (hereafter: “the Bank”)
  shall lend the undersigned as the Borrower/ Borrowers (hereafter: “the Borrower”) and the Borrower shall
  borrow and receive from the Bank the sum of 27,000,000 (twenty seven million)
  US dollars (hereafter: “the principal”) at
  the value thereof as of March 30, 2007 (hereafter: “date of grant of the loan”). The
  Borrower’s signature on this undertaking, together with the
  crediting of the account whose number appears in the title-heading of this
  undertaking (hereafter: “the account”) with
  the principal amount, constitutes the Bank’s consent to provide the Borrower
  with the principal and the Borrower’s acknowledgement of receipt of the
  principal. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
1.2

	
The Borrower
  covenants to repay directly to the account, all payments of principal,
  interest (within the following definition thereof), expenses, commissions and
  also other payments becoming due from the Borrower as set forth hereafter
  (all the aforesaid amounts and any portion thereof shall hereinafter be
  referred to as: “the loan”). The
  repayment dates of the principal and the interest (within the following
  definition thereof) shall be as set forth in Clauses 3 and 4 below.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Without
  derogating from the Bank’s rights pursuant to this undertaking and/or in
  accordance with any other instrument and/or form signed and/or that shall be
  signed by the Borrower and/or any statutory rights – the Borrower is aware
  that if it transpires that on any repayment date (as per Clauses 3 and 4
  hereafter), there does not exist in the account for charging a credit balance
  or an unutilized credit limit in the full amount of the debit on account of
  the loan – the Bank is entitled not to implement the aforesaid provision on
  such repayment date, until the first next business day on which a sufficient
  balance is present in the account for charging. If the Bank shall have
  debited the account for charging and it transpires that the balance in the
  account is not sufficient for the debit, the Bank shall be entitled to cancel
  any such debit and to treat any amount the debit whereof was cancelled as an
  amount not paid on account of the loan, and accordingly to take any action it
  deems fit pursuant to this Undertaking.

1

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
The Borrower
  is aware that the Bank is under no obligation to examine whether, on dates of
  performance of the aforesaid provision, as stated, a credit balance or
  unutilized credit limit exists for making the debits charged or that may be
  charged to the aforesaid account for charging at such time, and the Borrower
  shall bear all the expenses that may arise from the non-existence of a credit
  balance or unutilized credit limit. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
The Borrower
  is aware that the debit balance arising from the aforesaid charges may bear
  interest at a rate higher than the arrears interest rate on the loan (as per
  Clause 6.2 below). 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
The Borrower
  is aware that whenever the aforesaid provision is not implemented, the amount
  unpaid as aforesaid shall bear interest at the rate specified in Clause 6.2
  below. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
2.

The interest
  rate 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
The Borrower
  shall pay the Bank variable interest in accordance with the Bank’s
  calculations, commencing from date of grant of the loan, consisting of
  interest at “Libor” rate (as defined hereafter) together with a margin at a
  rate of 2% (two percent) per annum (hereafter: the interest}. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Correct to
  date of this undertaking, the interest rate for the first update term (within
  the following definition thereof) is ___% (________ percent) per annum,
  composed of “Libor” at the rate of ___% (________ percent) per annum together
  with the aforesaid margin. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Without
  derogating from sub-paragraph 4.1.3 below, it is stated that the interest
  rate for the first update term will actually be determined in accordance with
  the “Libor” rate in effect on date of provision of the loan. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
4.1.2

	
The
  following provisions and definitions shall serve for the purpose of
  determining the interest rate applicable from time to time on the principal: 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
“Libor” (London Interbank Offered Rate) –
  means: the interest rate to be determined by the Bank as the highest interest
  rate (rounded up to the next 1/8th of one percent), at which there
  are offered to it on the determining date (as defined below) on the London
  Interbank Market, deposits in the loan currency for a period corresponding to
  the relevant update period (as defined below) and as quoted at 11:00 hours
  (London time) or thereabouts (there are instances, including instances where
  the update period exceeds one year, in which the interest rate will be quoted
  at a different time) and as shall be published by the Reuters News Agency. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
If, on any
  relevant date, the database on which Reuters is based is modified, or if the
  Libor rate is not published by the Reuters News Service as aforesaid for any
  reason whatsoever, then the aforesaid Libor rate shall be determined in
  accordance with any other publication being, in the opinion of the Bank, such
  as to appropriately substitute for the Reuters publication. 

3

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Notwithstanding
  the aforesaid, in any event that the Bank determines that on any date
  relevant to determining the Libor rate it is unable to obtain deposits on the
  London Interbank Market as aforesaid, and if in the opinion of the Bank no
  appropriate substitute is found for such Reuters publication, then the Libor
  rate for the purpose of determining the interest rate shall be the rate set
  from time to time by the Bank as the interest rate at which the Bank could
  have obtained Interbank deposits on the London Interbank Market in the loan
  currency for a term corresponding to the relevant update term. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
“The determining date” – means, in relation
  to any update term (within the following definition thereof), the two
  business days precedent to the commencement of such update term (as defined
  below).

The interest
  applicable to the principal shall be determined by the Bank every six months
  in advance, on the determining day, having regarding to the Libor rate/s in
  effect with the Bank for the relevant update term (hereafter: “the update term”). 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
The Borrower
  warrants itself to be aware that notwithstanding this sub-paragraph, and
  without prejudice to the tenor hereof, the first and/or the last update term
  may be shorter or longer than the other update terms, all at the discretion
  of the Bank and in accordance with the conditions stipulated for the
  repayment of the principal.

  Bank in the loan currency as follows: 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
At the end
  of a period of six months (hereafter: “the

  the principal as shall be from time to time, commencing from the beginning to
  the end of the interest term, in accordance with the interest rate set for

The details
  of the principal and interest payments and the dates thereof and the interest
  update dates shall be included in a loan amortization schedule to be sent to
  the Borrower by the Bank shortly after the date of grant of the loan and the
  tenor thereof shall constitute an integral part of this undertaking.

A.

	
The Borrower
  covenants to pay the Bank from time to time additional amounts (hereafter: “additional interest”) at whatever rate
  the Bank shall determine from time to time being such, in the opinion of the
  Bank, as to indemnify it in respect of the increase in the cost of the loan
  to the Bank for any reason whatsoever, including an increase in the cost of

1.

	
As a result
  of a statutory duty or duty by agreement or otherwise, imposed on the Bank

That it hold
  liquid assets at a certain rate or in certain currencies in connection with
  the grant of the loan or the ongoing provision thereof; and/or

As a result
  of any such duty or demand by reason of which the Bank is unable to obtain
  the same rate of return on its total capital resources as it could have
  obtained had it not acceded to the Borrower’s application to grant it the
  loan. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
B.

	
The
  additional interest shall be payable in the loan currency, at every date
  stipulated for the payment of the interest, or at any other time that shall
  be appointed for such purpose statutorily, and shall be computed on the basis
  of the number of days actually having elapsed divided by 360.

6.2

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
A.

	
If the
  Borrower fails to pay, on due date thereof, any amount owed by it to the Bank
  pursuant to this undertaking, or if the Borrower fails to repay the loan
  forthwith in accordance with Clause 10 hereafter, then such amount shall bear
  arrears interest at the maximum interest rate imposed at the Bank from time
  to time on debit balances in foreign currency current accounts in the loan
  currency (unlimited) or at the maximum interest rate that shall be in effect
  with the Bank from time to time in respect of arrears in the type of loan and
  loan currency to which the loan belongs, or at the interest rate imposed by
  the Bank on the type of account to which such amount was transferred,
  whichever is the higher of the two (hereafter: “arrears interest” or “interest
  at the maximum rate”), and all from the date appointed for the
  payment of such amount – or, if no payment date were designated – then from
  the time the Borrower was required to defray it, to actual payment thereof. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
If the Bank
  has covenanted in writing to any competent or other authority that in respect
  of the loan, arrears interest that it collects from the Borrower will be at a
  different rate then the arrears interest shall be at the rate so agreed in
  writing. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
B.

	
Arrears
  interest shall be computed by the Bank on daily, weekly or other balances, at
  the sole discretion of the Bank, and shall be defrayed by the Borrower or
  shall be added to the principal at the end of each month, or other such
  period as the Bank at its sole discretion shall designate.

A.

	
All payments
  made by the Borrower to the Bank pursuant to this undertaking shall be paid
  to the Bank net of any tax, withholding, levy and/or obligatory payment,
  without setoff or counterclaim, in the freely convertible foreign currency
  being the loan currency, at the branch at which the loan was provided to the
  Borrower, or wherever else the Bank shall designate, provided that if some
  other locus is so designated, the Borrower shall be given 30 days notice
  thereof. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
B.

	
If the
  Borrower, or any financial institution through which the payment is being
  made, is required, at any time, under any law and/or administrative order of
  any authority or central Bank, to withhold tax or to pay tax in respect of
  any payment due from the Borrower in respect of the loan, then the amount due
  from the Borrower in respect of such payment shall increase by the degree
  necessary to ensure that following such withholding or payment the Bank shall
  receive, on the payment date, the net amount being equal to the amount the
  Bank would have received had such withholding or payment in respect of the
  tax not been required. The Borrower shall indemnify the Bank in respect of
  any loss or actual cost incurred by the Bank by reason of any omission and/or
  breach whatsoever in the making of the withholding or the payment of the tax
  or by reason of non-payment of the increased amount. The Borrower shall
  deliver to the Bank, forthwith, all receipts, confirmations and/or other
  proofs, attesting to the amounts paid or being paid in respect of every such
  tax withholding or payment.

A.

	
If the due
  date of any amount owed by the Borrower pursuant to this undertaking, and/or
  if the last day of any interest term, shall fall on a day not being business
  day, then the payment shall be made and/or the relevant interest term shall
  be extended, all according, by or until, all according, the next day being a
  business day and shall bear interest at the rate stipulated in accordance
  with Clause 4 above (collection fees shall not bear interest) unless, as a
  result, payment falls in the next calendar month, whereupon payment shall be
  brought forward to the previous day being a business day. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
B.

	
When any
  payment on account of the principal falls due in a calendar month in which an
  interest term ends, the payment date shall fall on the last day of such
  interest term, in order to ensure that the date of payment on account of the
  principal and the interest payment date shall fall on the same day.

  serve as collateral all the securities having been and/or that shall be given

A.

	
In any event
  that the Bank shall hold notes signed and/or endorsed by the Borrower, and
  that have been and/or shall be delivered to the Bank for collection and/or
  for custody, and/or as security and/or otherwise, the notes shall be and
  shall be deemed to be mortgaged and pledged to the Bank as a first-ranking
  pledge and lien to secure repayment of the loan and the Bank shall be
  entitled to sell the notes or to discount them and to take all legal and/or
  other steps, as it shall deem fit, to collect the notes, and shall be
  entitled to charge the collection expenses to the Borrower’s account. The
  Bank shall be entitled to reach a compromise with the signatories, the
  endorsers and/or the guarantors or any of them in accordance with different
  conditions, may waive, release, accept from them partial consideration and
  use the consideration of the notes for payment of debts due and/or that shall
  be due from the Borrower to the Bank. Nothing in the acceptance of the notes
  or the acceptance of the full or partial consideration thereto as aforesaid
  shall be such as to derogate from the Borrower’s obligation to repay the full
  amount of the loan. The Borrower hereby warrants that the notes having been
  and that shall be delivered by it or by any of the Borrower’s units to the
  Bank from time to time are in possession and absolute ownership of the
  delivering party or parties and that they and the consideration thereto are
  free of all lien, attachment and third party right of any kind whatsoever and
  that it is entitled to mortgage and to pledge them to the Bank.

1.

	
The Bank
  shall be exempt from all bill-holder’s debts including presentation,
  attestation and mailing of notices of dishonour, and all liabilities arising
  from the signature and/or endorsement of the Borrower shall remain in force
  even without the Bank performing the duties of a holder as aforesaid; 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
2.

	
The Borrower
  waives all rights and defences vesting in it pursuant to the Bills Ordinance
  and/or any other law in respect of prescription;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
3.

	
In the event
  that notes were delivered to the Bank for discounting or otherwise, and
  consideration was paid to the Borrower in respect thereof, and the notes
  remained unpaid, the Bank shall be entitled to debit the Borrower for the
  amount of the unpaid notes; 

8

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
4.

	
The Borrower

A.

	
The Bank has
  rights of possession, lien, setoff and mortgage on all the amounts, the
  assets and the rights including securities, coins, gold, banknotes, documents
  on merchandise, insurance policies, notes, assignment of debts, deposits,
  securities and the consideration thereto, that shall be found in possession of
  the Bank and/or under its control at any time to credit or of for the
  Borrower, including those delivered to the Bank for collection, for
  collateral, for custody or otherwise. The Bank is entitled to detain the
  aforesaid assets until full clearance of the loan, or to sell them and use
  all or part of the consideration thereto for the clearance of the loan, only
  in the event that the Borrower has failed to fulfil its covenants and also in
  case of an attachment being imposed on any of the aforesaid assets by any
  third party whatsoever. If the setoff amounts are deposited in foreign
  currency, the Borrower hereby gives the Bank advance instructions to sell the
  balance of the right in foreign currency at the exchange rate in effect with
  the Bank and to offset the consideration of the sale from the loan, net of
  the necessary expenses and commissions. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
B.

	
Without
  derogating from the Bank’s right of lien, as per sub-paragraph 11.1A
  aforesaid, the Bank shall be entitled, at all times: 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
1.

  any outstanding amount of the loan as against amounts due from the Bank to
  the Borrower in any Israeli currency account or foreign currency account, in
  any manner or for any cause whatsoever, and all even prior to the due date of
  amounts due to the Borrower from the Bank, as stated, and as against which
  the setoff is made. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
2.

	
To acquire
  and to record to the credit of the account any foreign currency amount
  necessary for the clearance of any outstanding loan amount or to sell any
  foreign currency whatsoever held by the Bank to credit of the Borrower, and
  to uses the proceeds for the sale for the clearance of any outstanding loan
  amount. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
3.

	
To debit the
  Borrower’s account with any amount needed for the repayment of any
  outstanding part of the loan amount, whether the Borrower’s account to be
  debited is in credit balance or in debit balance (including if the debit
  balance derives from a charge on that account by the Bank, as aforesaid), and
  all without derogating from the Bank’s rights in accordance with Clause 6.2
  above. But if the position of such account does not enable it to be debited
  by the Bank for the purpose of the final repayment of any amount whatsoever,
  then the Bank shall be entitled not to debit such account, and, if it so
  opts, the Bank shall be entitled to cancel any such debit and to treat any
  amount the debiting of which was cancelled as an amount unpaid on account of
  the loan and accordingly to take any actions it deems fit pursuant to this
  undertaking. 

12

  in any event entitled to make a setoff without notice. But in the following
  instances, the Bank shall be entitled to make the setoff on 10 (ten) days
  notice served on the Borrower prior to the making of the setoff: 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
a.

	
In case of
  setoff from amounts the due date of which has not yet arrived;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
b.

  Borrower from it. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
c.

	
Notwithstanding
  sub-paragraph 4 aforesaid, if the postponement in the making of the setoff is
  liable to worsen the Bank’s position, or to prejudice any of its rights, the
  Bank shall be entitled to implement the setoff forthwith. Likewise, if notice
  has been served on the Borrower, and during the ten day interval there
  arrives a lien, notice of a receivership order in connection with the party
  on which the notice was served, or a similar event, the Bank shall be
  entitled to make the setoff forthwith.

The Borrower
  hereby warrants itself to be aware that in the instances in which the Bank
  uses setoff rights as aforesaid prior to the due date of any deposit of the
  Borrower’s, in whole or in part, changes for the worse are liable to come
  about in all matters pertaining to its rights in respect of or in connection
  with such deposit (such as, as regards the interest rates, indexation
  differences, exchange rate differences, rights to grants or loans, exemption
  from or discount on income tax and withholdings – if, according to the terms
  of such deposit the Borrower had such rights). The Borrower shall bear all
  the expenses and payments being in effect with the Bank at that time for the
  purpose of making this transaction.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
D.

	
Any
  acquisition or sale as per sub-paragraph 11.1B2 aforesaid shall be made in
  accordance with the exchange rate in effect with the Bank, out of Israeli
  currency or foreign currency amounts, all according, that shall be held by
  the Bank to credit of the Borrower or shall be obtained from the sale of any
  securities given by and /or for the Borrower and/or that the Borrower shall
  in future give to the Bank.

  including in accordance with a written demand addressed to the Borrower by
  the Bank as per Clause 18 below, whether the Borrower’s account for charging
  shall be in credit balance or in debit balance (and including if the debit
  balance derives from the debiting of such account by the Bank, as aforesaid),
  and all without derogating from the Bank’s rights in accordance with Clause
  6.2 above. The Borrower consents that in any event in which a written demand
  is addressed to the Borrower by the Bank, and not complied with within the
  time interval specified in the demand, the Bank shall be entitled to act as
  stated at the beginning of this Clause and to debit any account of the
  Borrower’s with the required amount. The Bank shall also be entitled to
  allocate any account received from or for the Borrower to credit of such
  account as the Bank may deem fit and to transfer any amount standing to
  credit of the Borrower to any other account it may deem fit.

  the notes, the guarantees and the other securities and any other matter
  connected with this undertaking.

The Bank
  shall be entitled at its sole discretion, to refuse to accept any
  instructions or notices from the Borrower that are given orally, by
  telephone, by facsimile machine or in any other manner not deemed reliable
  and/or in clear and legible handwriting. If the Bank consents to act other
  than in accordance with an instruction written in the customary manner, the
  Borrower assumes all responsibility for any error, misunderstanding or
  contract and for any damage, loss and or expense that may be occasioned due
  to the giving of such instructions.

  respect of the non-fulfilment or partial fulfilment or improper fulfilment of
  any covenant whatsoever of the Borrower’s covenants pursuant to this
  undertaking shall not be deemed a waiver on the part of the Bank of any rights

And whereas

	
We the

vis-à-vis The Bank, as follows:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
1.

	
The
  introduction to this letter constitutes an integral part hereof:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
2.

	
Without
  detracting from the events that are detailed in any other bond for the
  creation of charges on which we have signed and/or that has been signed in
  favor of the Bank and/or any other document whatsoever on which we have
  signed in favor of the Bank in addition to them, then the Bank will be
  entitled, if one or more of the events that are detailed below occur, to make
  the aforementioned amounts repayable immediately, in whole or in part, (the
  amounts that will be made repayable immediately, as aforesaid, will be called
  hereinafter – The Amounts of the immediate
  repayment). Without detracting from our other undertakings to the
  Bank, we undertake to pay the Bank the Amounts of the immediate repayment:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
2.1.

	
If the
  holders of the bonds that have been issued and/or that will be issued to the
  public by Ampal American Israel Corporation (hereinafter –Ampal American) will demand early
  repayment(s) and/or will present claims and/or demands for payment against Ampal
  American and if these are approved by the court and/or a body that
  is authorized for that purpose under the power of the bonds, or if the
  Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange decides that there is to be an early redemption in
  respect of the said bonds.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
2.2.

	
If Mr.
  Yossef Maiman ceases to be the effective controlling interest in Ampal
  American. For this matter, “effective control” is the holding,
  directly or indirectly, of the issued and paid up capital of Ampal
  American, which affords the largest percentage holding as a single
  holder out of the generality of the shareholders in Ampal American.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
3.

	
What is
  stated in this letter comes in addition to what is stated in any other
  document of credit and/or any other bond that has been made and/or which will
  be made by us in the relationship between us and the Bank, in connection with
  the credit and/or otherwise, however, in the event of a discrepancy between
  them what is stated in this letter shall prevail.
