Whereas as one of the conditions for providing credits, banking services and the receipt of various obligations and guarantees from us the undersigned Odem Electronic Technologies 1992 Ltd. and/or Dimex Solutions Ltd. and/or B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Ltd. (hereafter together and separately “the companies”) you demanded that we should sign for you on this letter and we have assented to this;
We therefore hereby declare and obligate ourselves as follows:
| 1. | Efficiency Relations/Operational Relations |
| We agree that the granting of credits and the provision of banking services to the companies and/or upon their guarantee and their continued management will be on condition that the ratio of the companies’ debt service according to the consolidated financial statements of the companies – Odem Electronic Technologies 1992 Ltd., Dimex Solutions Ltd., B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Ltd. only (while neutralizing LYNK USA INC) –will not fall below 1. |
| In this paragraph the following meanings will be attached to the terms below: |
| “Debt service ratio” means that quotient obtained by dividing the operating profit for debt service by the amount of debt service. |
| “The operating profit for debt service” (EBITDA) means the cumulative total of operating profit from ongoing activity, according to the financial statements for recent year, prior to financing expenditures (interest, linkage differentials, rate of exchange and currency differentials and commissions) and taxes with the addition of depreciation and amortization expenses that were entered in the same period. |
| (2) With regards to financial statements drawn up under IFRS standards the definition for EBITDA will change and its calculation will not include the clauses detailed below: |

| “Debt service” means the cumulative total according to the recent annual financial statements of financing expenses with the addition of payment of current maturities for long-term loans that the companies were to have paid in the course of the calendar year to which the reports refer to, while excluding current maturities on payments for the purchase of the intangible assets of Dimex Systems (1998) Ltd. for which bank credit will be received in 2009. |
| “Financial statements” mean- profit loss statements and annual cash flow on a consolidated basis solely of Odem Electronic Technologies 1992 Ltd. Company and Dimex Solutions Ltd. and B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Ltd. alone (neutralizing Lynk USA, Inc.) prepared according to generally accepted accountancy principles. |
| (Below together and separately “the companies”) |
| The financial yardsticks that were determined in paragraph 1 above (hereafter “the yardsticks”) are predicated on accountancy standards, rules of accountancy, and accountancy estimates and policy (hereafter “accountancy treatment”) as implemented in the recent financial statements accurate to the date of this letter (hereafter “the recent statements”). |
| Accounting treatment that differs from the one on whose basis the recent reports were prepared including, but not only, as a result of the implementation of IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) new accountancy standards/others/whatsoever in Israel or abroad, changes in estimates and/or a change in accountancy policy (all the aforesaid will be called below together and separately,-“new accountancy treatment”) can result in changes that will have repercussions on the yardsticks. |
| The companies therefore agree as follows: |
| At any time that the bank should believe, upon its sole discretion, that changes were caused and/or are about to be caused in the company’s financial reports, due to new accountancy treatment, it will be entitled, after consultation with the company but without requiring its consent, to inform the company what are the modifications that it requires in the yardsticks (hereafter “the amended yardsticks”) in order to adjust them to the aforesaid changes, and this with a view to modifying them to suit the original economic purpose based on which the yardsticks were determined. |
| If the bank informed the company what are the amended yardsticks – they will bind the company commencing with the date that the bank gave notification and they will view this document as if it incorporates the amended yardsticks, beginning with the date that the bank gave notice. |
| 2. | An Obligation to Provide Financial Reports |
| We obligate ourselves to provide you no later than the date of 31.03 of each year the annual consolidated financial reports as per their aforesaid definition; audited by an external certified accountant and referring to 31.12 of the previous year. |
| Likewise we obligate ourselves to provide you no later than 60 days from the end of every quarter, quarterly financial reports as per their aforesaid definition signed by the CEO and Deputy CEO for Finances of the company. |
| 3. | An Obligation to Provide Additional Reports |
| We obligate ourselves to provide you a copy of any authorization, notification report or any other document that we must turn over to the registrar of companies and/or to the Israel Securities Authority under any law, and this concomitantly with its provision to the registrar of companies and/or to the Securities Authority as aforesaid. |
| 4. | The Validity of These Obligations |
| Our aforesaid obligations will be in force as long as any amounts are due or will be due to you from us on account of loans, credits and/or other banking services, that you provided or will provide us in the future, and/or as long as the various obligations and guarantees of the company towards a bank or on its behalf will remain in effect. |
| In any case where we have failed to meet the financial yardsticks, all or some of them, or if we should violate any of our other obligations detailed in this aforementioned letter, all or some of them, then in addition to any other relief that you will be entitled to by any law or as a result of any other obligation towards you that are included or that will be included in any document whatsoever -you will be entitled to call for the immediate payment of all or part of our debts and obligations towards you, and collect them from us with the addition of any amount that in the bank’s opinion will suffice to cover the losses and/or the expenses that the bank will incur due to the aforesaid call for immediate payment. |
| Let it be clear that if the bank did not initiate proceedings due to the violation of a previous obligation or a failure to meet one or more of the obligations towards the bank, whether that obligation is included in this letter or is included or will be included in any other document, this will not be considered an abandonment or a waiver by the bank of its rights and/or as a justification or an excuse for the continued existence of the violation and/or the existence of any other violation or to further nonobservance of any condition or any obligation on our part as aforesaid. |
| To avoid any doubt there is nothing in the aforesaid to detract from our obligations to you on the basis of any document whatsoever and/or any law, and there is nothing to detract from any grounds for demanding immediate payment that is available and/or will be available to you under any document whatsoever and/or any law. |
