        It is proposed at the EGM to adopt the following resolutions:

  (i) to approve the appointment of Mr. Barry Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) as a new external director (Dahatz) and to approve his remuneration, indemnification and insurance;

  (ii) to conditionally approve a “Run-Off” insurance policy for directors and other office holders of the Company.

With respect to Items no. 1-4 on the agenda, the Deed of Vote shall also be deemed as a Deed of Vote (Ktav Hatzba’a) under the Israeli Companies Law (1999) (the “Israeli Companies Law”) and Israeli Companies Regulations (Deeds of Vote and Position Notices) of 2005. Shareholders may withdraw their Deed of Vote by contacting the Company at its address above and duly proving their identity, at least 24 hours prior to the EGM and vote their shares in person.

        Registered joint holders of shares should take note that, pursuant to the Articles of Association of the Company, only the first named joint holder of any share shall vote, either in person, by proxy or by Deed of Vote, without taking into account the other registered joint holder(s) of the share. For this purpose, the first named joint holder shall be the person whose name is registered first in the Shareholders Register.

        Holders of American Depositary Shares are not registered in the Company’s Shareholders Register but may instruct the Depositary, Bank of New York, as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the Ordinary Shares evidenced by their American Depositary Shares, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Depositary Agreement governing the American Depositary Shares.


ITEM 1 – APPOINTMENT OF A NEW EXTERNAL DIRECTOR
(DAHATZ)

        The shareholders of the Company approved the appointment of Mr. Moshe Vidman as an External Director of the Company until October 27, 2009.

        Under the Israeli Companies Law, the Company is required to have at least two External Directors (Dahatzim) on its Board of Directors. The Board of Directors of the Company has resolved to recommend to the shareholders of the Company to approve the appointment of Mr. Barry Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) as an External Director (Dahatz) of the Company for a term of three years from his appointment.

2



        Mr. Barry Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) has been providing strategic business consulting services since 2009. He served as the deputy-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Bank Hapolaim in 2008. He joined the bank in 1976 and served in a variety of positions in the branch system and the international division including New York. He served in the following executive positions prior to becoming Deputy-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer; Deputy-Chief Executive Officer, Head of International Private Banking during the years 2002-2006 and Deputy -Chief Executive Officer and Head of Client Asset Management during the years 2006-2007. He also served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange during the years 2006-2007 and as the Chairman of Bank Hapolaim Switzerland and Poalim Asset Management during the years 2002-2006. He received both his Bachelor’s degree in Economics and his Masters in Business Administration from Tel-Aviv University. To the best knowledge of the Company and the Company’s Directors, Mr. Barry Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) is not a “Family Member” (as defined in the Securities Act of 1968) of another “Interested Party” (as defined in clause (1) of the definition in the Securities Act of 1968) in the Company.

        The Board of Directors has determined that the board should include at least three directors who are “accounting and financial experts” under the Israeli Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder. Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) was determined by the Board of Directors to be one of the “accounting and financial experts” under the Israeli Companies Law and these regulations. Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) also qualifies as an independent director according to US law.

        Under the Israeli Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Companies Regulations (Rules for the Compensation and Expenses for an External Director), 2000, as amended (the “Compensation Regulations”), the remuneration with which the Company provides its External Directors (Dahatzim) requires the approval of shareholders. The Compensation Regulations allow for several methods of remuneration of the External Directors (Dahatzim). The Compensation Regulations also allow for reimbursement of certain expenses to External Directors (Dahatzim).

        The latest amendments to the Compensation Regulations recognised the increased burden on, and responsibility of, the External Directors (Dahatzim). The Compensation Regulations allow the Company to remunerate the External Directors according to the “relative method”, which is relative to the remuneration that a company pays its “other directors.” The term “other directors” is defined in the Compensation Regulations. It generally includes directors who are not External Directors (Dahatzim) in that company, controlling party directors, directors holding another position in the company, holding a position in that company’s controlling party or in an entity controlled by that controlling party, directors who provide additional services on an ongoing basis to that company, the controlling party or to a company controlled by that company’s controlling party or directors who receive other remuneration from that company.

3



        The Company wishes to remunerate Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) according to the “relative method” of remuneration under the Compensation Regulations by paying Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) the same remuneration that the Company pays its two “other directors” (Messrs. Galil and Gissin) and its other External Director (Dr. Michael Anghel). Therefore, the Company wishes to pay Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson), commencing from his appointment, an annual fee of NIS180,000 (one hundred and eighty thousand NIS) per annum and an attendance fee of NIS4,000 (four thousand NIS) per meeting, applicable from the fifth meeting per year (whether participating in person, by means of communication, or in writing), in each such case, linked to the Israeli Consumer Price Index published for December 2007 (set in the Compensation Regulations), but in any event no less than an aggregate amount per annum equal to US$50,000 (US Dollars fifty thousand) as previously approved by the shareholders (the “Remuneration”) plus reimbursement of certain expenses.

        The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have resolved to approve and to recommend to the shareholders at the EGM to approve in the event of Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson)‘s appointment: (i) the Remuneration of Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson), and the reimbursement of expenses to him as set forth in the Compensation Regulations from the date of his appointment as an External Director of the Company; and (ii) that Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) will benefit from the current D&O insurance policy of the Company and, in the event that either resolution 4 or 5 below is approved, such resolution will apply to him.

        The Audit Committee, the Board of Directors and the shareholders of the Company have resolved in 2008 that, in the event options will be granted to Company’s directors, the Company will grant options to the External Directors in a manner complying with the Compensation Regulations. Such resolution will apply to Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson).

        Dr. Michael Anghel will continue to serve as an External Director (Dahatz) of the Company without any change, as previously approved.

        It is proposed that at the EGM the following resolutions be adopted:

  (i) RESOLVED, to appoint Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) as an External Director (Dahatz) of the Company, for a term of three years, in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law, commencing at the close of the EGM, or at October 28, 2009 if the amendment of the Company’s Articles of Association under item 6 below is approved.

  (ii) RESOLVED, to approve the payment of the Remuneration and the reimbursement of expenses as set forth in the Compensation Regulations to Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson). In the event that options will be granted to Company directors, the Company will grant options to Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) in a manner complying with the Compensation Regulations. Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) will benefit from the current D&O insurance policy of the Company and, in the event that either resolution 4 or 5 below is approved, such resolution will apply to Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson).

  (iii) RESOLVED, that these resolutions are in the best interest of the Company”.

4



        The vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares participating at the EGM and voting on the matter will be required for the approval of item no. 1 on the agenda; provided, that one of the following conditions is fulfilled: (i) the majority of votes in favor of the matter shall include at least one-third of the votes of shareholders not constituting, or acting on behalf of, “Controlling Parties” (as stated in the Israeli Companies Law) in the Company, which votes shall not include abstaining votes; or (ii) the total number of objecting votes of the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) does not exceed 1% of the total voting rights in the Company.

        A shareholder shall notify the Company at the address above at least two Business Days (as defined in the Company’s Articles of Association) prior to the date of the EGM, whether the shareholder is, or is acting on behalf of, a “Controlling Party” (as stated in the Israeli Companies Law) in the Company or not, as a condition for that shareholder’s right to vote and be counted with respect to such resolutions. A shareholder voting, by means of a Deed of Vote, may include such notice with regard to a “Controlling Party” interest on the Deed of Vote (to be submitted to the Company at least seventy two hours prior to the time of the EGM).

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of these
proposed resolutions.

ITEM 2 – CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OF A “RUN-OFF”
INSURANCE POLICY TO DIRECTORS AND OTHER OFFICE HOLDERS
OF THE COMPANY

        The Israeli Companies Law and the Company’s Articles of Association authorize the Company to enter into an insurance contract, and/or arrange and pay all premiums in respect of an insurance contract, for the insurance of the liability of directors and other Office Holders (as such term is defined in the Israeli Companies Law) of the Company for liabilities he or she incurs as a result of a direct or indirect action or inaction undertaken by such person (or together with other directors or officers of the Company) in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company for any of the following:

  (i) The breach of the duty of care toward the Company or toward any other person;

  (ii) The breach of the duty of loyalty toward the Company provided the officer or director has acted in good faith and had reasonable grounds to assume that the action would not harm the Company;

  (iii) A financial liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person; and

  (iv) Any other matter in respect of which it is permitted or will be permitted under the Israeli Companies Law to insure the liability of a director or officer in the Company.

5



        Currently, the Company participates in a Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance Policy procured by the Company’s indirect controlling shareholder, Hutchison Telecommunications International Limited, as described below (the “Current D&O Policy”).

        Upon consummation of the agreement entered into on August 12, 2009 between Advent Investments Pte Ltd. (“Advent”) and Scailex Corporation Ltd. (“Scailex”), for the acquisition by Scailex of 78,940,104 Ordinary Shares of the Company (the “Change of Control Transaction”), the Current D&O Policy will cease to apply to our directors and officers. It is proposed to adopt, conditionally, a “Run-Off” insurance policy (the “Run-Off Policy”) of up to US $100 million insurance cover for liability of the Company’s directors, officers and employees acting in their managerial and/or supervisory capacity for acts, errors or omissions carried out or suffered prior to the date of closing of the Change of Control Transaction, for a period of seven years from the consummation of the Change of Control Transaction and cancellation of Current D&O Policy. The net premium to be paid by the Company for such cover for the said seven year period, after deducting a pro-rata cancellation premium refund, shall not exceed U.S. $200,000.

        The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have resolved to approve, and to recommend to the shareholders at the EGM to approve, conditionally, the Run-Off Policy and resolved that the Run-Off Policy is in the best interest of the Company.

        The Directors have noted that they all have a Personal Interest (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law) in this matter.

        It is proposed that at the EGM the following resolutions be adopted:

  (i) “RESOLVED, to approve the Run-Off Policy and the payment of a net premium therefor in an amount not exceeding U.S. $200,000, which shall become effective on, and be subject to, the consummation of the Change of Control Transaction.

  (ii) RESOLVED, that the resolution is in the best interest of the Company.”

        The vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares participating at the EGM and voting on the matter will be required for the approval of item no. 2 on the agenda; provided, that one of the following conditions is fulfilled: (i) the majority of votes in favor of the matter shall include at least one-third of the votes of shareholders not having a Personal Interest (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law) in the matter, which votes shall not include abstaining votes; or (ii) the total number of objecting votes of the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) does not exceed 1% of the total voting rights in the Company.

        A shareholder shall notify the Company at the address above at least two Business Days (as defined in the Company’s Articles of Association) prior to the date of the EGM, whether the shareholder has a Personal Interest (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law) in the resolution or not, as a condition for that shareholder’s right to vote and be counted with respect to such resolution. A shareholder voting, by means of a Deed of Vote, may include said notice regarding Personal Interest on the Deed of Vote (to be submitted to the Company at least seventy two hours prior to the time of the EGM).

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of these
proposed resolutions.

ITEM 3 – CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OF THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS
AGREEMENT

        According to the existing Registration Rights Agreement of October 26, 1999 (the “Existing RRA”), the Company has granted its then principle founding shareholders (Advent, Matbit Telecommunications Systems Ltd., Tapuz Cellular Systems Limited Partnership and Matav Investments Ltd.) a right to require the Company to register Ordinary Shares held by them under the US Securities Act of 1933 (the “US Securities Act”). In the Existing RRA, the Company has agreed that, upon request from any of the principle shareholders (the “Demand Right”), the Company will file a registration statement under the US Securities Act to register the Ordinary Shares held by them, subject to a maximum request of one Demand Right in any six- month period and to certain other limitations. There is no limit to the number of registrations that can be requested under the Existing RRA. The minimum amount of shares that must be included in any registration that can be requested under the Existing RRA is 2.65% of the outstanding shares. The company has also granted to each of the principle shareholders the right to include their Ordinary Shares in the registrations made by the Company (the “Piggy Back Right”). Upon the exercise of the Demand Right or the Piggy Back Right (the “Registration Rights”), the Company will be required to prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”), enter into an underwriting agreement in a customary form (in the case of an underwritten offering) and procure the delivery of certain customary documents, including legal opinions and comfort letters. In the case of a Demand Right, the shareholder will pay all of its own legal fees and underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the securities being offered and the remaining expenses are shared pro rata by the Company and the shareholder. In the case of Piggy Back Rights, the Company will pay all fees except the underwriting discount applicable to the shares being sold by the shareholder and the shareholder’s legal fees. The Existing RRA also provides that the Company will indemnify each selling shareholder and any underwriter against any liability arising as a result of a material misstatement in, or omission from, the registration statement.

        The Existing RRA will terminate with respect to each shareholder upon the earlier of October 26, 2009 and such time as that shareholder can sell its Ordinary Shares into the United States public market pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, without regard to holding period, volume or manner of sale limitations.

        The Company was informed by Advent that under the terms of the Change of Control Transaction, Advent undertook to Scailex: (i) to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the convening of the Company’s Audit Committee, Board of Directors and shareholder to discuss granting Scailex similar registration rights to those in the Existing RRA for a period of five years from the consummation of the Change of Control Transaction; and (ii) to vote in favor of such resolution at the shareholders meeting. It is proposed that the Company will enter into a new conditional registration rights agreement (the “Proposed RRA”) with Scailex. The terms and conditions of the Proposed RRA shall be substantially similar to those of the Existing RRA, except that: (i) October 26, 2009 shall be substituted by a date which is five years from the consummation of the Change of Control Transaction; and (ii) other changes annotated on Annex “A” attached hereto.

7



        The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company conditionally approved, and recommended to the shareholders to approve, the Proposed RRA and resolved that the Proposed RRA is in the best interest of the Company since it will help to facilitate an orderly disposal of shares by the shareholder who will become a beneficiary of the Proposed RRA in consultation and coordination with the Company and will allow the Company to regulate disposals by such a shareholder during “blackout” periods as well as when the Company offers shares in the market.

        The Directors have noted that the directors nominated by Advent shall be deemed, for the sake of being cautious, to have a Personal Interest (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law) in this matter.

        It is proposed that at the EGM the following resolutions be adopted:

  (i) RESOLVED, to approve the Proposed RRA, which shall become effective on, and be subject to, the consummation of the Change of Control Transaction.

  (ii) RESOLVED, that the resolution is in the best interest of the Company.”

        The vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares participating at the EGM and voting on the matter will be required for the approval of item no. 3 on the agenda. For the sake of being caution, item 3 will be approved as if Advent has a Personal Interest in this matter, thus one of the following conditions should also be fulfilled: (i) the majority of votes in favor of the matter shall include at least one-third of the votes of shareholders not having a Personal Interest (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law) in the approval of this matter, which votes shall not include abstaining votes; or (ii) the total number of objecting votes of the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) does not exceed 1% of the total voting rights in the Company.

        A shareholder shall notify the Company at the address above at least two Business Days (as defined in the Company’s Articles of Association) prior to the date of the EGM, whether the shareholder has a Personal Interest (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law) in the resolution or not, as a condition for that shareholder’s right to vote and be counted with respect to such resolution. A shareholder voting, by means of a Deed of Vote, may include said notice regarding a Personal Interest on the Deed of Vote (to be submitted to the Company at least seventy two hours prior to the time of the EGM).

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of these
proposed resolutions.

ITEM 4 – APPROVAL OF THE GRANT OF INDEMNIFICATION LETTERS
TO DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY

        The Israeli Companies Law and the Company’s Articles of Association authorize the Company, subject to the required approvals, to indemnify directors and other Office Holders (as such term is defined in the Israeli Companies Law) of the Company for liabilities or expenses he or she incurs as a result of action or inaction undertaken by such person (or together with other directors or officers of the Company) in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company for:

  (i) financial liability incurred or imposed in accordance with a judgment, including a judgment given in a settlement or a judgment of an arbitrator approved by a court, provided that such acts pertain to one or more of the events set forth in the indemnification letter, which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, are anticipated in light of the Company’s activities at the grant of indemnification and is limited to the sum or measurement of indemnification determined by the Board of Directors to be reasonable given the circumstances set forth in the indemnification letter;

  (ii) reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees, incurred or ordered by a court in the context of proceedings filed by or on behalf of the Company or by a third party, or in a criminal proceeding in which the director or officer is acquitted or if convicted, for an offense which does not require criminal intent; and

  (iii) reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees incurred due to an investigation or proceeding conducted by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding and which has ended without the filing of an indictment against the director or officer and either: (i) no financial liability was imposed on the director or officer in lieu of criminal proceedings; or (ii) financial liability was imposed on the director or officer in lieu of criminal proceedings but the alleged criminal offense does not require proof of criminal intent, within the meaning of the relevant terms in the law.

        The Israeli Companies Law provides that a company may not indemnify a director or officer for his or her liability for: (a) a breach of duty of loyalty towards the company, unless the director or officer acted in good faith and had reasonable grounds to assume that the action would not harm the company; (b) a breach of duty of care done intentionally or recklessly (“pzizut”) except for negligence; (c) an intentional act intended to unlawfully yield a personal profit; and (d) a fine or a penalty imposed upon the director or officer.

        For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that at the EGM the resolution below will not be adopted, the current indemnification letters granted to any Indemnified Person shall remain in full force and effect.

        The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company have approved the grant of the new Indemnification Letter to the Indemnified Persons and separately approved the grant of indemnification letters to officers of the Company serving the Company, or serving as directors or officers on behalf of the Company in other companies.

        The Directors have noted that they all have a Personal Interest (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law) in this matter.

        It is proposed, in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law and the Company’s Articles of Association, that at the EGM the following resolution be adopted:

  (i) RESOLVED, to approve the Company’s undertaking to indemnify each Indemnified Person, and to provide each such Indemnified Person with an Indemnification Letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex B.

  (ii) RESOLVED, that the resolution is in the best interest of the Company.”

        The vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares participating at the EGM and voting on the matter will be required for the approval of item no. 4 on the agenda; provided, that one of the following conditions is fulfilled: (i) the majority of votes in favor of the matter shall include at least one-third of the votes of shareholders not having a Personal Interest (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law) in the approval of this matter, which votes shall not include abstaining votes; or (ii) the total number of objecting votes of the shareholders mentioned in clause (i) does not exceed 1% of the total voting rights in the Company.

        A shareholder shall notify the Company at the address above at least two Business Days (as defined in the Company’s Articles of Association) prior to the date of the EGM, whether the shareholder has a Personal Interest (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law) in the resolution or not, as a condition for that shareholder’s right to vote and be counted with respect to such resolution.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of this proposed
resolution.

ITEM 5 – CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S D&O
INSURNACE POLICY

        The Israeli Companies Law and the Company’s Articles of Association authorize the Company to enter into an insurance contract, and/or arrange and pay all premiums in respect of an insurance contract, for the insurance of the liability of directors and other Office Holders (as described above).

        Currently, the Company participates in the Current D&O Policy procured by the Company’s indirect controlling shareholder, Hutchison Telecommunications International Limited (“Hutchison Telecom”), insuring the Company Directors’ and Officers’ liability and the Company’s undertaking to indemnify them, in respect of certain matters permitted by the Israeli Companies Law.

The Current D&O Policy provides the following coverage:

  (i) Primary coverage for the directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries for an amount of U.S. $50M for any one claim and in the aggregate (the “Layer One”);

  (ii) In excess of Layer One the Current D&O Policy provides coverage for Hutchison Telecom, and its participating subsidiaries, including the Company of up to U.S. $75M for any one claim and in the aggregate.; and

  (iii) as a participating subsidiary of Hutchison Telecom, we are also covered by further excess directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies of up to a limit of US $75M for any one claim and in the aggregate for the policy period. These policies are shared with Cheung Kong (Holdings) Ltd, HWL, Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited, CK Life Sciences Int’l. (Holdings), Inc. and Hongkong Electric Holdings Limited and their respective subsidiaries.

          In the event of the depletion of the insurance coverage underlying the first layers of insurance as the result of payment of loss, these policies shall continue to apply for subsequent losses as excess insurance over the amount of insurance remaining under such first layers of insurances on follow form basis.

          The Company’s participation in the annual premium of the insurance program as described above is US $506,850 for 2009. Upon consummation of the Change of Control Transaction, the Current D&O Policy will cease to apply to our directors and officers.

11



The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have resolved to approve, and to recommend to the shareholders at the EGM to approve, conditionally, a new Directors and Officers Insurance Plan (the “New D&O Policy”) of up to US $50M insurance cover for liability of the Company’s directors, officers and employees acting in their managerial and/or supervisory capacity for acts, errors or omissions carried out or suffered after the closing of the Change of Control Transaction, for a period of up to one year from the consummation of the Change of Control Transaction (currently contemplated at around 31 July 2010, the expiration date of the current D&O Policy). The premium to be paid by the Company for such cover shall not exceed U.S. $300,000 for such period.

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors also resolved that the New D&O Policy is in the best interest of the Company.

The Directors have noted that they all have a Personal Interest (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law) in this matter.

        It is proposed that at the EGM the following resolutions be adopted:

  (i) “RESOLVED, to approve the New D&O Policy and the payment of a premium therefor in an amount not exceeding U.S. $300,000 for up to one year, which shall become effective on, and be subject to, the consummation of the Change of Control Transaction.

  (ii) RESOLVED, that theresolution is in the best interest of the Company.”

        The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter is required for the approval of this resolution.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of this proposed
resolution.

ITEM 6 – AMENDMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

        The Company wishes to amend its Articles of Association as detailed below:

  (i) Financial Statements and related Board Report and Report of the Board re auditor’s fees. Under the Israeli Companies Law, financial statements can be approved and signed by the board of directors and presented for discussion before the annual general meeting together with a related Board Report, without approval by the shareholders. Similarly, under the Israeli Companies Law, auditor’s fees may be approved by the board of directors and presented for discussion before the annual general meeting together with a related Board Report, without approval by the shareholders. However, our Articles of Association include an additional requirement of shareholders approval of the financial statements and related Board Report, and the Board’s report re auditor’s fees. The Company wishes to delete the requirements of said shareholders approval, to conform the Articles of Association to the Israeli Companies law and common Israeli practice.

12



  (ii) With respect to Annual General Meetings, our current Articles of Association restrict the matters to be discussed at said meetings to a specified list. It is proposed to amend section 15 of the Articles of Association to allow the inclusion of additional matters in said meeting without the need to formally convene an Extraordinary Meeting.

  (iii) With respect to the appointment of External Directors (Dahatzim) to the Company’s Board of Directors, the current Articles of Association do not expressly allow the term of the External Directors (Dahatzim) to commence later than the close of a General Meeting. It is proposed to amend section 23.3.4 of the Articles of Association to expressly allow the term of an elected External Director (Dahatz) to commence at the close of a General Meeting or at a later date, all as stated in the shareholders resolution appointing said External Director (Dahatz). This amendment is intended to allow the Company more flexibility in scheduling General Meetings in which External Directors (Dahatzim) are to be elected.

  (iv) With respect to the nomination by our Board of Directors, of directors to the Company’s Board of Directors, the current Articles of Association require a majority of at least 75% of the Directors of the Company. It is proposed to amend section 23.4 of the Company’s Articles of Association in a way that the Board of Directors will have the right, at all times, upon approval of a simple majority of the Directors of the Company, to elect any person as a Director, to fill an office which became vacant, or to serve as an additional member to the then existing Board of Directors provided that the maximum number of Directors permitted under the Articles of Association is not exceeded. Any Director elected in such manner shall serve in office until the coming Annual Meeting and may be re-elected. This amendment is intended to conform the majority required for election by the Board of Directors to the majority required for election by the General Meeting.

        The full text of the amendments is annotated on the amended Articles of Association attached hereto as Annex “C”.

        It is proposed that at the EGM the following resolutions be adopted:

  (i) RESOLVED, that the amendments to the Articles of Association, substantially in the form annotated on Annex “C” attached hereto, are hereby approved.

  (ii) RESOLVED, that the amendments to the Articles of Association will enter into force at the close of the EGM.

13



        The affirmative vote of the holders of seventy five percent (75%) of the Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter is required for the approval of this resolution.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of this
proposed resolution

RESTRICTIONS ON VOTING RIGHTS

        Partner conducts its operations pursuant to licenses granted to Partner by the Minister of Communications of the State of Israel. Partner’s Articles of Association and, with respect to shareholders other than shareholders of Partner prior to its public offering, Partner’s License contain provisions that may cause the suspension of voting rights of the holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs if such voting rights would breach the ownership limits contained in the License. These limits prohibit the transfer or acquisition of 10% or more of Partner’s means of control and acquisition of control of the Company without the consent of the Minister of Communications of Israel, and restrict cross-control and cross-ownership of other mobile telephone operators in Israel, and shareholdings and agreements which may reduce or harm competition. Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs held in breach of these limits may be considered as dormant shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Proxy Statement, dormant shares will not bear any rights to which the holders would otherwise be entitled, other than the right to receive dividends and other distributions to shareholders (including the right to participate in rights offerings). Specifically, the holders of dormant shares will not have voting rights with respect to their dormant shares, nor will they have the right to participate in general meetings of shareholders.

        Any shareholder seeking to vote at the EGM must notify the Company prior to the vote, or, if the vote is by Deed of Vote, must so indicate on the Deed of Vote, if any of the shareholder’s holdings in Partner or the shareholder’s vote requires the consent of the Minister of Communications due to a breach by the shareholder of the restrictions on the transfer or acquisition of means of control or acquisition of control of Partner, or the provisions regarding cross-ownership or cross-control of other mobile telephone operators in Israel, in each case as specified in Sections 21 and 23 of Partner’s License (a translation of Sections 21-24 of the License is attached hereto as Annex “D”). If a shareholder does not provide such notification, the shareholder shall not vote and, if the shareholder has voted, his or her vote shall not be counted.

        (b) Indemnification by the Holder and Any Agent or Underwriters. Each Holder requesting or joining in a Registration severally and not jointly shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each agent and any underwriter for the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, agent or underwriter may became subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged Untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration statement, or any preliminary or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any registration statement, preliminary or final prospectus, or amendments or supplements thereto, or documents incorporated by reference therein, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein; and each such Holder shall reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, agent or underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

9



        (c) Notice of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party pursuant to the indemnification provisions of, or as contemplated by, this Section 3.05, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than pursuant to such provisions. In case any such action or proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (which shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to local counsel) for each indemnified party with respect to such claim. The indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or treated action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault; culpability or a failure to act, by or behalf of any indemnified party.

        (d) Contribution. Each Holder requesting or joining in a Registration and the Company agree that it, for any reason, the indemnification provisions contemplated by Section 3.05 (a) or Section 3.05(b) hereof are unavailable to or are insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of, and benefits derived by, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 3.05(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holder or any agents for, or underwriters of the Registrable Shares, or all of them, were treated as one entity for such purposes); or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 3.05(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above shall be doomed to include (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.05(c) hereof) any legal. or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an indemnifying party shall not be required to contribute under this Section 3.05(d) except under such circumstances as such indemnifying party would have been liable pursuant to Section 3.05(a) or (b) had such indemnification been enforceable under applicable law.

In the absence of agreement to the contrary, the number of initial shares and option shares to be sold by the Company and the Holders participating in such offering shall be allocated pro rata among such persons an the basis of the relative number of Registrable Shares each person has requested to be included in such registration.

11

Annex “B”

_____________, 2009

Dear Ms./Mr. ________:

Letter of Indemnification

1. Partner Communications Company Ltd. (“Partner”) hereby undertakes to indemnify you for any liability or expense that you incur or that is imposed on you in consequence of an action or an inaction by you (including prior to the date of this letter), in your capacity of an officer or director in Partner or as an officer or director on behalf of Partner in a company controlled by Partner or in which Partner has an interest (such companies being referred to herein as “Subsidiaries”), as follows:

  1.1. Financial liability that you incur or is imposed on you in accordance with a judgment, including a judgment given in a settlement or a judgment of an arbitrator approved by the Court, provided that such liability pertain to one or more of the events set out in Schedule I hereto, which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of Partner, are anticipated in light of Partner’s activities at the time of granting this undertaking and are at the sum or measurement of indemnification determined by the Board of Directors to be reasonable given the circumstances set forth herein;

  1.2. Reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees, that you may incur or for which you will be ordered to pay by a Court in the context of proceedings filed against you by or on behalf of Partner or by a third party, or in a criminal proceeding in which you are acquitted or if you are convicted, for an offense which does not require criminal intent; and

  1.3. Reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees that you may incur due to an investigation or proceeding conducted against you by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding and which has ended without the filing of an indictment against you and either (i) no financial liability was imposed on you in lieu of criminal proceedings, or (ii) financial liability was imposed on you in lieu of criminal proceedings but the alleged criminal offense does not require proof of criminal intent, within the meaning of the relevant terms in or in the law referred to in the Israeli Companies Law (as defined below).

2. Partner may not indemnify you for your liability for: (i) a breach of duty of loyalty towards Partner unless you have acted in good faith and had reasonable grounds to assume that the action would not harm Partner; (ii) a breach of duty of care done intentionally or recklessly (“pzizut”) except for negligence; (iii) an intentional act intended to unlawfully yield a personal profit; and (iv) a fine or a penalty imposed upon you.

  Upon the occurrence of an event for which you may be entitled to be indemnified, subject to the terms of this letter (including the limitations as to amount in Section 3.13) and any laws applicable at such time, Partner shall provide you with the necessary payments to cover all your expenses in respect of the legal proceedings in question, so that you will not have to pay for or finance them yourself.



3. Indemnification pursuant to this letter will be subject to applicable law and to the following terms and conditions:

  3.1. That you notify Partner within a reasonable time of your learning of any legal proceedings instigated against you in connection with any event that may give rise to indemnification and that you provide Partner, or anyone specified by Partner, with any documents connected to the proceeding in question.

  3.2. That Partner reserves the right to represent you in the proceedings or to appoint legal counsel of its choice for this purpose (unless its choice of legal counsel is unacceptable to you on reasonable grounds). Partner or such legal counsel will take all necessary steps to bring the matter to a close and will keep you informed of key steps in the process. The appointed counsel will be bound by a fiduciary duty to you and to Partner. If a conflict of interests should arise between the appointed counsel and yourself, counsel will inform Partner and you will be entitled to appoint a different counsel reasonably acceptable to Partner and the terms of this indemnification agreement shall apply to the new appointment. If Partner should decide to settle by arbitration or by mediation or by settlement, it shall be allowed to do so, provided that you do not incur any additional expense or liability due to such arbitration, mediation or settlement or that you have otherwise agreed to such arbitration, mediation or settlement. If Partner so requests, you will sign any document that will empower it or any appointed counsel to represent you and defend you in any proceeding as stated above. You will cooperate as reasonably demanded of you with Partner and any appointed legal counsel. Partner shall cover all related expenses so that you will not have to make any payments or incur any expenses yourself.

  3.3. That whether or not Partner shall operate in accordance with section 3.2 above, indemnification shall still cover all and every kind of expense incurred by you that is included in section 1 of this letter so that you will not have to pay or finance them yourself. You will not be indemnified for any expenses arising from a settlement, mediation or arbitration unless Partner has agreed to the settlement, mediation or arbitration.

  3.4. That upon your request for payment in connection with any event according to this indemnification letter, Partner shall complete all the necessary arrangements required by the law for payment and shall act to receive all necessary authorizations, if demanded. If any authorization should be required for payment, and the payment is not authorized for any reason, this payment or part of it will be subject to the approval of the court (if relevant) and Partner shall act in order to receive authorization.

  3.5. That in the event that you are paid for any sums in accordance with this letter of indemnification in connection with a legal proceeding, and later it becomes clear that you were not entitled to such payments, the sums will be considered as a loan given to you by Partner subject to the lowest interest rate for purposes of Section 3(9) of the Income Tax Ordinance (or any other legislation replacing it) which does not cause a taxable benefit. You shall be required to repay such amounts in accordance with the payment arrangements fixed by Partner, and at such time as Partner shall request in writing.

B - 2



  3.6. That you shall remain entitled to indemnification by Partner as provided in this letter of indemnification even when you are no longer an officer or director in Partner or in a Subsidiary on Partner’s behalf, as long as the events that led to the payments, costs and expenses for which indemnification is being sought are a result of an action or an inaction taken by you as such officer or director.

  3.7. The terms contained in this letter will be construed in accordance with the Companies Law, 1999 (the “Israeli Companies Law”), and in the absence of any definition in the Companies Law, pursuant to the Securities Law, 1968. Schedule I hereto constitutes an integral part hereof.

  3.8. The obligations of Partner under this letter shall be interpreted broadly and in a manner that shall facilitate its implementation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and for the purposes for which it was intended. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this letter and any provision of the law that cannot be superseded, changed or amended, said provision of the law shall supersede the specific provision in this letter, but shall not limit or diminish the validity of the remaining provisions of this letter.

  3.9. The indemnification under this letter will enter into effect upon your signing a copy of the same in the appropriate place, and the delivery of such signed copy to Partner. It is hereby agreed that your agreement to accept this letter constitutes your irrevocable agreement that any previous undertaking of Partner for indemnification towards you, to the extent granted, shall become void automatically upon your signing this letter. Notwithstanding the above, if this letter shall be declared or found void for any reason whatsoever, then any previous undertaking of Partner for indemnification towards you, which this letter is intended to replace, shall remain in full force and effect.

  3.10. Partner may, in its sole discretion and at any time, revoke its undertaking to indemnify hereunder, or reduce the Maximum Indemnity Amount (as defined in section 3.13 below) thereunder, or limit the events to which it applies, either in regard to all the officers or to some of them, to the extent such change or revocation relates solely, to events that occur after the date of such change, provided that prior notice has been given to you of its intention to do so, in writing, at least 60 days before the date on which its decision will enter into effect. No such decision will have a retroactive effect of any kind whatsoever and the letter of indemnification prior to such change or revocation, as the case may be, will continue to apply and be in full force and effect for all purposes in relation to any event that occurred prior to such change or revocation, even if the proceeding in respect thereof is filed against you after the change or revocation of the letter of indemnity. In all other cases, this letter may not be changed unless Partner and you have agreed in writing.

B - 3



  3.11. This undertaking to indemnify is not a contract for the benefit of any third party, including any insurer, and is not assignable nor will any insurer have the right to demand participation of Partner in any payment for which an insurer is made liable under any insurance agreement that has been made with it, with the exception of the deductible specified in such agreement. For the avoidance of any doubt in the event of death this letter will apply to you and your estate.

  3.12. No waiver, delay, forbearance to act or extension granted by Partner or by you will be construed in any circumstances as a waiver of the rights hereunder or by law, and will not prevent any such party from taking all legal and other steps as will be required in order to enforce such rights.

  3.13. The aggregate indemnification amount payable by Partner to all directors, officers and other indemnified persons pursuant to all letters of indemnification issued or that may be issued to them by Partner in the future (including, inter alia, to officers and directors nominated on behalf of Partner in Subsidiaries), will not exceed the higher of (i) 25% of shareholders equity and (ii) 25% of market capitalization, each as measured at the time of indemnification (the “Maximum Indemnity Amount”).

  3.14. The Maximum Indemnity Amount shall not be affected in any way by the existence of, or payment under, insurance policies. Payment of the indemnification shall not affect your right to receive insurance payments, if you receive the same (either personally or through Partner or on your behalf) and Partner will not be required to indemnity you for any sums that were, in fact, already paid to you or for you in respect of insurance or any other indemnification obligations made to you by any third party. In the event there is any payment made under this letter and such payment is covered by an insurance policy, Partner shall be entitled to collect such amount of payment from the insurance proceeds.

  3.15. In the event the indemnification amount Partner is required to pay to its directors and other indemnified persons, as mentioned in section 1 above, exceeds at any time the Maximum Indemnity Amount or the balance of the Maximum Indemnity Amount in accordance with section 3.13 above after deducting any indemnification amounts paid or payable by Partner to any of its directors or other indemnified persons at such time, such Maximum Indemnification Amount or such remaining balance will be allocated among the directors and the other indemnified persons entitled to indemnification, in the same ratio as with respect to any event the amount for which each individual directors or other indemnified persons may be indemnified is to the aggregate amount that all of the relevant directors and other indemnified persons involved in the event may be indemnified.

  3.16. The foregoing does not derogate from Partner’s right to indemnify you retroactively in accordance with that permitted by the Articles of Association of Partner and applicable law.

B - 4



You should be aware that, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) may be permitted to Partner’s directors and officers, Partner has been advised that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event of a claim for such indemnification, Partner will (in accordance with an undertaking given to the SEC), unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The law of the State of Israel shall govern this Letter of Indemnification and all issues related thereto, without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles. The courts in Tel Aviv, Israel shall have the exclusive local and international jurisdiction, in connection with this Letter of Indemnification, except if an indemnification claim is related to a legal proceeding, already filed by a third party in a different court.

Respectfully,


——————————————
on behalf of
Partner Communications Company Ltd.

I accept the terms and conditions of the above. I am aware that my agreement to accept this letter constitutes my irrevocable agreement that any previous undertakings of Partner for indemnification, to the extent granted, should become void automatically upon my signing this letter. Notwithstanding the above, if this indemnification letter shall be void for any reason whatsoever, then, any previous undertaking of Partner for indemnification towards me shall remain in full force and effect.

21.5 1Despite the provisions of sub-clauses 21.1 and 21.3 above, should there occur a transfer or purchase of a percentage of Tradable Means of Control in the Licensee requiring consent under clauses 21.1 and 21.3 (other than a transfer of purchase that results in a transfer of control), without the Minister’s consent having been sought, the Licensee shall report this to the Minister in writing, and shall make an application to the Minister to approve the said transfer or purchase of the Means of Control in the Licensee, within 21 days of the date on which the Licensee became aware of such.

  Without derogating form the generality of the above:

  (1) A shareholder who takes part in a vote during a meeting of shareholders shall advise the Licensee prior to the vote, or in the case of documentary voting on the voting document, whether his holdings in the Licensee or his voting require consent under clauses 21 and 23 of the License or not; where a shareholder does not so advise, he may not vote and his vote shall not count.

23.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 23.1, the Minister may, based upon written request, permit an Office Holder in the Licensee to serve as an Office Holder in an Interested Party in a Competing MRT Operator, or permit an Office Holder in an Interested Party in the Licensee to serve as an Office Holder in a Competing MRT Operator or in an Interested Party in a Competing MRT Operator, if he is satisfied, that this will not harm the competition in MRT Services; the Minister may condition the granting of such permit on conditions that the Office Holder must fulfill for prevention of harm to the competition as aforesaid.

D - 7



23.5 The rate of indirect holding in a corporation will be a product of the percentage of holdings in each stage of the chain of ownership, subject to what is set out in Paragraph 23.6; for example:

  (A) ‘A’ holds 40% in Company ‘B’;

  (B) Company ‘B’ holds 40% in Company ‘C’;

  (C) Company ‘C’ holds 25% in Company ‘D’;

  (D) Therefore, Company ‘A’ holds, indirectly, 4% of Company ‘D’.

23.6 For the matter of this Paragraph and Paragraphs 14.1 (G) (6), (7), (8), (8a), (9) and 21.4, if a certain body (hereinafter: “the Controlling Body”) controls another body that has holdings, directly or indirectly, in the Licensee (hereinafter: “the Controlled Body”), the Controlling Body, and also any other body controlled by the Controlling Body, will be attributed with the rate of holdings in the Licensee that the Controlled Body has, directly or indirectly; according to the following examples:

  A. Direct holdings:

  (1) ‘A’ holds 50% in Company ‘B’, and controls it;

  (2) Company ‘B’ holds 50% in Company ‘C’, and controls it;

  (3) Company ‘C’ holds 10% in the Licensee and does not control it;

  (4) Therefore, notwithstanding that ‘A’s’ holdings in the Licensee in accordance with the instructions of Paragraph 5.6 are 2.5%, ‘A’ and also any body controlled by ‘A’ will be deemed as an Interested Party holding 10% in the Licensee.

  B. Indirect holdings:

  (1) ‘A’ holds 50% of Company ‘B’ and controls it;

  (2) Company ‘B’ holds 40% of Company ‘C’ and controls it;

  (3) Company ‘C’ holds 40% of Company ‘D’ and does not control it;

  (4) Company ‘D’ holds 40% of the Licensee and does not control it;

  (5) Therefore, ‘A’ and any body controlled by ‘A’ will be regarded as having a holding in the Licensee at the rate of holdings of Company ‘C’ in the Licensee, which is holdings of 16% (according to the method set out in Paragraph 23.5 for the calculation of the rate of indirect holdings in the absence of control), and in this manner, ‘A’ and any body controlled by ‘A’ is an Interested Party in the Licensee.

D - 8



23.7 If a certain body has indirect holding in the Licensee, through two or more Interested Parties, then for the purpose of its definition as an Interested Party, and for the purpose of determining the rate of holding with regard to this Paragraph, the greatest indirect rate of holding will be taken into account, and also any rate of holding that derives from the chain of holdings through which the said holding body is attributed with the holdings of corporations controlled by it in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 23.6; the rates of holdings that derive from two or more chains that will be taken into account as stated above, will be cumulative for the purpose of calculating the rate of holdings.

23.8 The Minister may, in response to a written request, permit an Interested Party in the Licensee to hold, either directly or indirectly, five percent (5%) or more in any of the Means of Control of a Competing MRT Operator, if the Minister is satisfied that this will not harm competition in the MRT field; 11the Minister may condition the granting of the said permit on a condition that the Interested Party in the Licensee or competing MRT Operator is an Interested Party merely by virtue of the provisions of Article 23.6.

24. Prohibition of Conflict of Interests

  The Licensee, any body in which the Licensee is an Interested Party, an Office Holder in the Licensee or an Interested Party in the company holding the License or an Office Holder in an Interested Party therein, will not be party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with a Competing MRT Operator, or an Interested Party or an Office Holder in it, or an Office Holder in an Interested Party in a Competing MRT Operator, or any other body in which a Competing MRT Operator is an Interested Party, which are intended to or might reduce or harm competition in anything that pertains to MRT Services, MRT Terminal Equipment or any other Telecommunications Services.

In accordance with the Companies Regulations (Deeds of Vote and Position Notices) of
2005

Name of the Company: Partner Communications Company Ltd. (the “Company”).

Type, date and place of meeting: Extraordinary General Meeting will be held on October 22, 2009 at 10:00 am. (Israel time), at the Company offices, 8 Ha’amal Street, Rosh Ha’ayin, Israel. The telephone number for inquiries is #972-54-781-4191.

Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law of 1999 (the “Israeli Companies Law”) and the Israeli Companies Regulations (Deeds of Vote and Position Notices) of 2005 (the “Deed of Vote Regulations”), shareholders who will not attend the meeting in person may vote with respect to items no. 1-4 on the agenda by an Hebrew form of deed of vote (ktav hatzba’a) and these items are subject to provisions set forth in the Israeli Companies Law and the Deed of Vote Regulations (the “Regulations Procedure”). For the shareholder’s convenience, items 5-6 on the agenda are also included in this document although said items are not subject to the Regulations Procedure.

The items on the agenda, subject to the Regulations Procedure:

  1. Approval of the appointment of Mr. Barry Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) as a new external director (Dahatz) and approval of his remuneration, indemnification and insurance.

The Board of Directors of the Company has resolved to recommend to the shareholders to appoint Mr. Barry Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) as an External Director (Dahatz) of the Company for a term of three years from his appointment.

Mr. Barry Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) has been providing strategic business consulting services since 2009. He served as the deputy-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Bank Hapolaim in 2008. He joined the bank in 1976 and served in a variety of positions in the branch system and the international division including New York. He served in the following executive positions prior to becoming Deputy-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer; Deputy-Chief Executive Officer, Head of International Private Banking during the years 2002-2006 and Deputy – Chief Executive Officer and Head of Client Asset Management during the years 2006-2007. He also served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange during the years 2006-2007 and as the Chairman of Bank Hapolaim Switzerland and Poalim Asset Management during the years 2002-2006. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Economics and his Masters in Business Administration from Tel-Aviv University.



To the best knowledge of the Company and the Company’s Directors, Mr. Barry Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) is not a “Family Member” (as defined in the Securities Act of 1968) of another “Interested Party” (as defined in clause (1) of the definition in the Securities Act of 1968) in the Company.

Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) was determined by the Board of Directors to be one of the “accounting and financial experts” under the Israeli Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder and qualifies as an independent director according to U.S. law.

The Company wishes to remunerate Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) according to the “relative method” of remuneration under the Compensation Regulations (Rules for the Compensation and Expenses for an External Director), 2000, as amended (the “Compensation Regulations”), by paying Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) the same remuneration that the Company pays its two “other directors” (Messrs. Galil and Gissin) and its other External Director (Dr. Michael Anghel). Therefore, the Company wishes to pay Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson), commencing from his appointment, an annual fee of NIS180,000 per annum and an attendance fee of NIS4,000 per meeting, applicable from the fifth meeting per year (whether participating in person, by means of communication, or in writing), linked to the Israeli Consumer Price Index published for December 2007, but in any event no less than an aggregate amount per annum equal to US$50,000 as previously approved by the shareholders (the “Remuneration”) plus reimbursement of certain expenses.

The shareholders of the Company have resolved in 2008 that, in the event options will be granted to Company’s directors, the Company will grant options to the External Directors in a manner complying with the Compensation Regulations. Such resolution will apply to Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson).

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors approved in the event of Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson)‘s appointment: (i) the Remuneration of Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson), and the reimbursement of expenses to him as set forth in the Compensation Regulations; and (ii) that Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) will benefit from the current D&O insurance policy of the Company and, in the event that either item 4 or 5 below is approved, such resolution will apply to him.

  It is proposed that at the EGM the following resolutions be adopted:

  (i) RESOLVED, to appoint Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) as an External Director (Dahatz) of the Company, for a term of three years, in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law, commencing at the close of the EGM, or at 28 October, 2009, if the amendment of the Company’s Articles of Association under item 6 below is approved.

- 2 -



  (ii) RESOLVED, to approve the payment of the Remuneration and the reimbursement of expenses as set forth in the Compensation Regulations to Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson). In the event that options will be granted to Company directors, the Company will grant options to Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) in a manner complying with the Compensation Regulations. Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson) will benefit from the current D&O insurance policy of the Company and, in the event that either resolution 4 or 5 below is approved, such resolution will apply to Mr. Ben-Zeev (Woolfson).

  (iii) RESOLVED, that these resolutions are in the best interest of the Company”.

  2. A Conditional approval of a “Run-Off” Insurance Policy for Directors and other Office Holders of the Company.

The Israeli Companies Law and the Company’s Articles of Association authorize the Company to enter into an insurance contract, and/or arrange and pay all premiums in respect of an insurance contract, for the insurance of the liability of directors and other Office Holders (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law) of the Company for liabilities he or she incurs as a result of a direct or indirect action or inaction undertaken by such person (or together with other directors or officers of the Company) in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company with respect to matters permitted under the Israeli Companies Law.

Currently, the Company participates in a Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance Policy procured by the Company’s indirect controlling shareholder, Hutchison Telecommunications International Limited and its participating subsidiaries, including the Company, as described in the Proxy Statement distributed with this Deed of Vote.

Upon consummation of the agreement entered into on August 12, 2009 between Advent Investments Pte Ltd. (“Advent”) and Scailex Corporation Ltd. (“Scailex”), for the acquisition by Scailex of 78,940,104 Ordinary Shares of the Company (the “Change of Control Transaction”), the current D&O policy will cease to apply to our directors and officers.

The Company wishes to conditionally adopt a “Run-Off” insurance policy (the “Run-Off Policy”) of up to US $100 million insurance cover for liability of the Company’s directors, officers and employees acting in their managerial and/or supervisory capacity for acts, errors or omissions carried out or suffered prior to the date of closing of the Change of Control Transaction, for a period of seven years from the consummation of the Change of Control Transaction and cancellation of Current D&O Policy. The net premium to be paid by the Company for such cover for the said seven year period, after deducting a pro-rata cancellation premium refund, shall not exceed U.S. $200,000.

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have approved, conditionally, the Run-Off Policy and resolved that the Run-Off Policy is in the best interest of the Company.

The Directors have noted that they all have a Personal Interest (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law) in this matter.

- 3 -



  It is proposed that at the EGM the following resolutions be adopted:

  (i) “RESOLVED, to approve the Run-Off Policy and the payment of a net premium therefor in an amount not exceeding U.S. $200,000, which shall become effective on, and be subject to, the consummation of the Change of Control Transaction.

  (ii) RESOLVED, that the resolution is in the best interest of the Company.”

  3. A Conditional approval of a Registration Right Agreement.

According to the existing Registration Rights Agreement of October 26, 1999 (the “Existing RRA”), the Company has granted its then principle founding shareholders a right to require the Company to register Ordinary Shares held by them under the US Securities Act of 1933 (the “US Securities Act”). In the Existing RRA, upon request from any of the principle shareholders (the “Demand Right”), the Company will file a registration statement under the US Securities Act to register the Ordinary Shares held by them, subject to a maximum request of one Demand Right in any six-month period and to certain other limitations. There is no limit to the number of registrations that can be requested under the Existing RRA. The minimum amount of shares that must be included in any registration that can be requested under the Existing RRA is 2.65% of the outstanding shares. The Company has also granted to each of the principle shareholders the right to include their Ordinary Shares in the registrations made by the Company.

The Existing RRA also provides that the Company will: (i) indemnify each selling shareholder and any underwriters against any liability arising as result of a material misstatement in, or omission from, the registration statement; and (ii) undertake certain other actions, as described in the Proxy Statement to which this Deed of Vote is attached.

The Existing RRA will terminate with respect to each shareholder upon the earlier of October 26,2009 and such time as that shareholder can sell its Ordinary Shares into the United States public market pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, without regard to holding period, volume or manner of sale limitations.

It is proposed that the Company will enter into a new conditional registration rights agreement (the “Proposed RRA”) with Scailex. The terms and conditions of the Proposed RRA shall be substantially similar to those of the Existing RRA, except that: (i) October 26, 2009 shall be substituted by a date which is five years from the consummation of the Change of Control Transaction; and (ii) other changes annotated on Annex “A” of the Proxy Statement distributed with this Deed of Vote.

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company conditionally approved the Proposed RRA and resolved that the Proposed RRA is in the best interest of the Company since it will help to facilitate an orderly disposal of shares by the shareholder who will become a beneficiary of the Proposed RRA in consultation and coordination with the Company and will allow the Company to regulate disposals by such a shareholder during “blackout” periods as well as when the Company offers shares in the market.

The Directors have noted that the directors nominated by Advent shall be deemed, for the sake of being cautious, to have a Personal Interest (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law) in this matter.

  It is proposed that at the EGM the following resolutions be adopted:

  (i) RESOLVED, to approve the Proposed RRA, which shall become effective on, and be subject to, the consummation of the Change of Control Transaction.

  (ii) RESOLVED, that the resolution is in the best interest of the Company.”

  4. Approval of the grant of Indemnification Letters to Directors of the Company.

The Israeli Companies Law and the Company’s Articles of Association authorize the Company, subject to the required approvals, to indemnify directors and other Office Holders (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law) of the Company for liabilities or expenses he or she incurs as a result of action or inaction undertaken by such person (or together with other directors or officers of the Company) in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company for certain liabilities, as described in the Proxy Statement distributed with this Deed of Vote.

The Company wishes to issue to all current and future directors of the Company, serving the Company, or serving as directors or officers on behalf of the Company in other companies, (each an “Indemnified Person”), a new indemnification letter (the “Indemnification Letter”) substantially in the form attached as Annex “B” to the Proxy Statement distributed with this Deed of Vote. The aggregate indemnification amount payable by the Company to all the directors, officers and other indemnified persons pursuant to all letters of indemnification issued or that may be issued to them by the Company in the future will not exceed the higher of (i) 25% of shareholders equity and (ii) 25% of market capitalization, each as measured at the time of indemnification.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that at the EGM the resolution below will not be adopted, the current indemnification letters granted to any Indemnified Person shall remain in full force and effect.

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company have approved the grant of the new Indemnification Letter to the Indemnified Persons.

The Directors have noted that they all have a Personal Interest (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law) in this matter.
