Each shareholder is invited to contact Mr. Zami Flitter of Ernst & Young, Israel (see contact information below) within the said 90 days (but not later than such period) in order to file for his withholding return. Ernst & Young, at its sole discretion based on the documents presented to it per its request and the relevant tax laws and tax treaties, shall instruct the trustee whether to release any, part or all of the taxes withheld to the shareholder or to the tax authorities as the case may be (together with the pro rata interest accrued thereon, if any) after the 90 day period.
