conditioning system, lighting, electricity, telephones, and the

entitled to continue erecting the project and the sections of the
premises required to complete the construction of the project and
the premises, as per 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

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

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

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.
|
The tenant represents that he is
aware that the payments for electricity augment but do not replace
other payments to be made pursuant to this agreement.
|
|
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.

restoration of the premises to its previous physical condition as
it was on the date of conveyance without the changes and
additions.
|
If the landlord does not demand the
removal of the changes and additions, they shall become the
property of the landlord without charge, and the

that any item and/or equipment and/or accessory and/or inventory
which cannot be defined as the landlord’s property pursuant
to this agreement which is left on the premises after the
tenant’s departure, within 7 days after the evacuation of the
premises, shall be considered the landlord’s property upon
the evacuation and the tenant waives all claims and/or demands
and/or actions for them.
|
|
20.2
|
When the tenant
returns the premises to the landlord, an inspection of the premises
shall be conducted by the engineer in the presence of a
representative of the tenant after prior coordination. The engineer
will list the repairs that the 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 the expiration of seven days from
the end of the tenancy period, the landlord may make such repairs
at the expense of the tenant. The amount of time it takes to make
the repairs, beginning on the date of the expiration of the tenancy
period as determined by the engineer, shall be considered a period
during which the tenant is late in the departure of the premises.
The tenant will pay the landlord, upon its first request, the price
of the repairs as determined by the engineer, as well as rental
fees for the period of repairs, whether or not the repairs actually
took place.
|

|
20.4

The tenant
undertakes that if he does not depart the premises upon the
termination of the tenancy period as stated above, he will pay the
landlord for the period between the date fixed in this agreement
for the evacuation of the premises and the date of actual
departure, proper fees for the use of the premises in the amount of
rental fees that would have been owed from the tenant to the
landlord for the month prior to the date designated for the
evacuation from the premises multiplied by three, or the
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 caused to the landlord due to the failure to
evacuate the premises on time, without derogating from any other
right and/or measure available to the landlord under the agreement
or relevant law.
|
|
|
20.5
|
The tenant represents and
undertakes that if he does not depart the premises on the
designated date, the landlord and/or the management company are
entitled to sue and collect from the tenant, in addition to proper

losses or any other payment resulting from the failure to vacate
the premises on time, for the period between the designated date of
departure
|
35
|
|
according to this agreement and
the date of actual departure, as if the tenancy period had
continued until the date of actual departure. The landlord and/or
the management company may exercise the guarantees given to the
landlord and/or the management company pursuant to this agreement,
without releasing the tenant from the duty to vacate the premises
on time and/or detracting from all other measures available to the
landlord and/or the management company pursuant to this agreement
or relevant law.
|
|
|
20.6
|
To dispel any
doubt, the tenant represents that payment and/or receipt of proper
usage fees and the other payments as described above, does not
create between the parties any tenancy relationship for the period
after the date of departure of the premises.
|
|
|
20.7
|
The tenant
represents that if he fails on his own to vacate the premises on
the date of the departure from the premises pursuant to this
agreement or upon its revocation, the landlord and/or any person on
its behalf, may enter the premises at any time that they deem fit
without the need to provide advance notice, and remove all persons
and things belonging to the tenant and/or which he uses for his
business conducted on the premises and for such purpose, to use
reasonable force and all reasonable means including, opening the
premises, changing locks, posting guards, and preventing the tenant
or anyone acting on his behalf form entering the land and to act
with the premises as the owner thereof for all intents and
purposes.
|
|
|
20.8
|
The landlord
shall be entitled to store the property and equipment that if finds
on the premises in any place it deems fit, and to charge rent and

landlord power of attorney to disconnect the premises from the
power network, water, gas and the other systems and to use third
parties for such purpose.

|
In any instance
where the tenant fails to vacate the premises, the tenant and
anyone present on the premises on his behalf or by his permission
shall be considered as trespassers and as “hot
intruders” on the premises. The tenant represents that the
landlord and/or anyone acting on its behalf shall not be
responsible in any manner for any damage that will be caused to the
tenant, if such damage is incurred, due to any activity associated
with evacuating the premises, equipment and property from the
premises and/or the storage of the equipment or property following
the failure to vacate the premises on time and he waives all
complaints or actions against the landlord in respect to such
eviction.
|
|
|
20.11
|
All expenses caused to the
landlord due to the failure of the tenant to vacate the premises
and due to the evacuation of the premises by the landlord as a
result including all sums which the tenant must pay according to
this section shall apply to the tenant and the tenant
|
36
|
|
undertakes to pay all such sums
immediately upon first demand to do so by the landlord. The
landlord shall be entitled to collect any such sum by forfeiting or
exercising any guarantee or surety available to it.

agrees that a breach of the agreement and/or failure to keep any of
its provisions due to a force majeure shall not serve as grounds by
the tenant to cancel this agreement in whole or in part and shall
not serve as grounds for any action by the tenant against the
landlord and/or the management company.

|
To secure the satisfaction of all
of the tenant’s obligations under this agreement and the
management contract, the tenant undertakes to provide
|

|
|
the landlord at the signing of
this agreement, a bank guarantee in the language appended hereto as
Annex “H” as specified herein (hereinafter: the
“Guarantee”):
|
|
|
26.1.1
|
The guarantee
will be a bank guarantee linked to the index, non contingent,

|
26.1.3
|
The validity of
the guarantee will be until the end of three months following the
expiration of the tenancy period. If the agreement confers upon the
tenant a right to extend the tenancy period for an extended tenancy
period and the tenant exercises his right to extend the tenancy,
the tenant will extend the guarantee no later than the date of the
beginning of the extended tenancy period and/or will revise the
amount as required by the terms of the extended tenancy.
|
|
|
26.1.4
|
Any expense
involved in the issuance of the guarantee including fees, stamp
duty and the like shall be paid solely by the tenant.
|
|
|

in any instance of a breach of the contract and/or a breach of the
management contract by the tenant and/or in any instance where the
landlord and/or the management company are not paid in a timely
manner by the tenant.
|
|
|
26.2
|
The failure to
produce the guarantee as provided by this section including
supplementing it in the event that it was exercised shall be deemed
a fundamental breach of this agreement and will grant the landlord
the right to revoke the agreement and/or defer the conveyance date
of the premises until the guarantee is produced without detracting
from the tenant’s duties under this agreement, including his
duty to pay rental fees, management fees and all other payments
which he must remit according to this agreement, and without
derogating from any other measure available to the landlord by this
agreement and/or relevant law.
|
|
|
26.3
|
In any instance
where the aforementioned guarantee or a part thereof is exercised,
the tenant must supplement the guarantee and provide the landlord
within 7 days from the date of exercise a new bank guarantee in the
sum that was forfeited.
|
|
|
26.4
|
The tenant represents and
undertakes that he is aware that the giving of the guarantee
pursuant to this agreement and/or its exercise by the landlord does
not constitute a waiver and/or infringement of any right
|
46
|
|
belonging to the landlord,
including and without derogating from the foregoing generalities,
its right to any other measure conferred upon it by this agreement
or by relevant law.
|
|
|
26.5
|
The exercise of
the guarantee by the landlord as stated, shall not grant the tenant
any right to the premises and does not constitute a waiver or
stipulation of any of the landlord’s rights or from the
tenant’s obligations pursuant to this agreement and it does
not replace any of them.
|
|
|
26.6
|
Upon the
termination of the tenancy period and after the full satisfaction
of all the tenant’s obligations pursuant to this agreement,
including his obligation to depart the premises, full payment of
rental fees, payment of taxes, expenses and all other sums which he
must pay according to this agreement and by law, the landlord will
return the guarantee to the tenant.
|
|
|
26.7
|
A violation of
the provisions and commitments by the tenant according to this
section constitutes a fundamental breach of the
agreement.

the management company of any other measure and/or any infringement

by relevant law.

|
|
27.5.5
|
