to approve the tenant’s plans are based on reasonable grounds
only. The landlord may also refuse to carry

its discretion without connection to the plans and specifications
which the tenant was to submit as described above. In this
instance, the manner in which the landlord continues to carry out
such construction shall be deemed as acceptable to the tenant for
all intents and purposes and he shall not have any claims or
complaints in respect thereto. The tenant shall be solely
responsible for any damage and shall pay for all changes or

other than what is stated above and/or for reasons other than those
specified in this agreement which confer upon the tenant a right to
revoke the agreement and/or not for reasons of transferring the
tenant’s rights to an alternative tenant as stated in section

|
Payment for electrical services
|
28
|
|
15.12.1
|
The tenant represents that he is aware that the
charges for the use of electricity on the premises will be made by
the reading of a meter to be installed by the landlord at the
tenant’s expense. The type of meter will be chosen by the
landlord in its sole judgment. The rate at which the tenant will be
charged for the use of electricity on the premises by a reading of
the meter will be the rate accepted from time to time by the
electric company for consumption of electricity at the rate for
load and time at a low voltage.
|
|
|
15.12.2
|
The tenant represents that he is aware that in
addition to the charge for using electricity on the premises he
will also be charged for consumption of electricity for the
floor’s air conditioning system. The charge to the tenant for
the electricity use of the floor’s air conditioning system
will be calculated according to the tenant’s proportionate
share of the overall consumption of the floor’s air
conditioning system. The tenant’s proportionate share of the
consumption of electricity of the floor’s air conditioning
system shall be calculated according to the proportionate share of
electrical consumption on the premises compared to the electrical
consumption in all the leased areas on the floor.
|
-
-
-
-
Electrical consumption for the floor’s air
conditioning system shall be measured by the reading of a meter to
be installed by the landlord at the expense of the tenants on the
floor. The type of meter will be determined by the landlord in its
sole judgment. The rate by which the tenant will be charged for the
floor’s air conditioning system shall be the rate that is
accepted from time to time by the electric company for electric
consumption at the rate for load and time at a low
voltage.
An example for calculating the tenant’s share of the
electrical consumption of the air conditioning system on the floor:
If for example the total consumption of all the tenants on the
floor (not including electrical consumption of the floor’s
air conditioning system) according to an aggregate reading of all
the meters installed for the leased properties on the floor is 100
and the electrical consumption on the premises according to a
reading of the meter installed for the premises is 20, then the
tenant’s share in the electrical consumption of the air
conditioning system for the floor will be 20%.
|
|
15.12.3
|
If, in the opinion of the landlord, the premises
require a higher consumption of electricity of the floor’s
air conditioning system than the tenant’s proportionate share
of the floor’s use as stated above, then the landlord may
establish that the tenant’s share of the payment for electric
consumption for the air conditioning system on the floor will be
greater than his proportionate share of electrical consumption of
all the tenants on the floor. In this
|
29
|
|
instance the tenant’s proportionate share
in the payment of electric consumption for the air conditioning
system on the floor will be calculated according to a variable
fixed by the landlord after consultation with its electrical
specialist. If such a variable is established for charging the
tenant, the tenant will pay his share for the consumption of
electricity for the air conditioning system on the floor in
accordance with the landlord’s determination.
|
|
|
15.12.4
|
The tenant affirms that he is aware that the use
of electricity in the public spaces and the public systems,
including but not limited to, elevators, central air conditioning
systems and the like, will be charged through the management
company.

15.12.5
|
The tenant undertakes to pay the landlord for the
use of electricity during the tenancy period as charged by the
landlord by giving a standing order to the landlord to debit the
tenant’s account which will be submitted to the bank as
described in section 7 above. The tenant affirms and agrees that
the landlord may suspend the supply of electricity to the premises
whether due to a non payment of an electrical bill or any
fundamental breach of this agreement, after giving 8 days advance
written notice.
|
|
|
15.13
|
The tenant represents that he is aware that a
substation of the electric company and all the devices associated
and/or related to the substation, exists and is operated on the
project and he waives all claims and/or actions including
complaints related to noise and/or nuisance against the landlord
and the Israel Electric Company Ltd. relating to the substation and
its operation on the project.

changes and additions.

contract but is in addition thereto and any breach of an obligation
pursuant to this section shall be deemed a fundamental breach of
this agreement and the management contract.
|
|
|
18.1
|
The tenant is aware that there are parking lots
on the project (hereinafter: "Parking Lots").
|
|
|
18.2
|
The landlord shall be entitled in its sole
judgment, to decide from time to time to operate the parking lots
or any part of them as paying parking lots, whether on its own or

tenant must make pursuant to this agreement, if he is so obligated,
including repairing damage and defects relating to the restoration
of the premises to its former state. If a representative of the
tenant is not present at the time of inspection by the engineer,
his absence will not detract from the validity of the inspection
and the findings to be included in the list of repairs or from the
tenant’s obligation to fix them as specified
above.
|
|
|
20.3
|
If the tenant fails to make such repairs until

proportionate share of the rental fees for a period shorter than
one month, without proof of damage (hereinafter: "Proper Usage
Fees"). The tenant represents that this sum is designated as fixed
compensation by the parties after prior consideration, as a
cautious and reasonable assessment of the damage that would be
