The landlord may suspend, periodically, after giving advance notice, for a reasonable time, the license granted to the tenant for specific periods in various sections of the premises as required to carry out the specifications work and the landlord’s work which cannot be carried out simultaneously with the tenant’s work.

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 modifications required as a result.

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

  25.4 The tenant states that he will not have any complaint and/or demand and/or action against the landlord, management company or other tenants and/or lessees in the project, who have in their tenancy agreements or any other agreement conferring upon them rights in the project, a parallel exemption in respect to the tenant, for damage for which he is entitled to indemnification if not for the deductible listed in the policy according to the policies arranged in accordance with section (1) of the confirmation of the arrangement of insurance for the tenant’s work (Annex “G(1)”) and sections (1) and (4) of the confirmation of the arrangement of the tenant’s insurance (Annex “G(2)”), and the tenant releases the aforementioned from any liability for damage for which is entitled to such indemnification. The aforesaid regarding an exemption from liability will not apply in favor of a person who caused damage maliciously.

 

  25.5 To dispel any doubt, it is understood that the failure to provide the confirmations of insurance on time, as stated in sections 25.1.2 and 25.2.2 shall not impair from the obligation of the tenant under this agreement, including, and without impairing from the foregoing generalities, any duty of payment applicable to the tenant. The tenant commits to fulfilling all of his obligations under this agreement even if he is prevented from doing work and/or gaining occupancy of the premises and/or moving property into the premises and/or opening his business on the premises, due to the failure to present the confirmations on time.

 

  25.6 No later than the 14th day prior to the expiration of the tenant’s insurance, the tenant commits to deposit with the landlord a confirmation of the arrangement of insurance as specified in section 25.2.2 for an extension of the policy for an additional year. The tenant undertakes to return and deposit the confirmation of arranging the insurance on the designated dates, each policy year as long as the agreement remains valid.

 

  25.7 The landlord may inspect the confirmations of insurance provided to it from the tenant as mentioned in sections 25.1.2, 25.2.2 and 25.6 and the tenant undertakes to make any reasonable change or amendment that is required in order to adapt them to his obligations pursuant to this section 25. The tenant represents that the landlord’s right of review in respect to the confirmations of insurance and its right to order an amendment of the tenant’s insurances as stated above, does not impose upon the landlord or anyone acting on its behalf any duty or any liability regarding the confirmations of insurance, their quality, scope, and validity of the tenant’s insurance, or in respect to their absence, and does not detract from any duty imposed on the tenant under this agreement.

 

  25.8 The tenant undertakes to comply with the terms of the insurance policies arranged by him, to pay the premiums in full and on time, and to act and ensure that the tenant’s policies are renewed from time to time according to need, and will remain valid for the entire tenancy period.

 

43


  25.9 The tenant undertakes to follow the safety procedures to be publicized from time to time by the landlord and/or the management company and undertakes not to take and/or allow another to take any action or omission on the premises and/or the project which may cause an explosion and/or leak and/or which may endanger lives or the project.

 

  25.10 The tenant commits that if the landlord and/or the management company are obligated to pay additional premiums beyond what is acceptable due to the irregular activity of the tenant, the tenant will pay the landlord and/or the management company, as the case may be, the difference, immediately upon their first demand to do so.

 

  25.11 It is understood that the determination of the limit of liability as specified in sections 25.13 and 25.2.3 above is the minimal demand imposed on the tenant, and the tenant must analyze his exposure to liability and determine the limits of liability accordingly. The tenant states that he is estopped from raising any complaint and/or demand against the landlord and/or the management company and/or anyone acting on their behalf, relating to the negligible limits of liability.

 

  25.12 The landlord undertakes to arrange and maintain on its own or through the management company, for the duration of this agreement, the following policies (hereinafter: the “Project’s Policies”) with a duly licensed reputable insurance company:

 

  25.12.1 Structural insurance for the project against loss or damage due to the accepted risks with expanded fire insurance including fire, smoke, lightening, explosion, earthquake, storm and hurricane, flood. Damages caused by liquids and cracking of pipes, injury by vehicles, injury by aircraft, disturbances, strikes, malicious damage and break in damage. These policies shall contain a waiver of subrogation clause towards the tenants for damage caused by them provided that the subrogation clause will not apply in favor of a person who causes damage maliciously. It is expressly agreed that for purposes of this section “Structures of the Project” shall not include the contents of the leased areas and will not include any addition, renovation or expansion done to the leased areas by or for the tenants (that is not through the landlord).

 

  25.12.2

Third party insurance at a limit of liability that will not be less than the sum of $10,000,000 (ten million U.S. dollars) per event and accumulative during a policy year, that covers the duty of the landlord and the management company. The policy will be expanded to indemnify the tenant for harm or damage that may be caused to the person and/or property of any person inside the project, but outside of the premises, subject to the cross policy clause, by which the insurance will be deemed as having been arranged separately for each of the entities of the policy holder. It

 

44


 

is expressly agreed that this policy is residual and is extra coverage above all third party liability insurance policies that the tenant arranged or undertook to arrange, and this policy will not be considered as a joint policy to those arranged by the tenant.

 

  25.12.3  Employers insurance that covers the duty of the management company to its workers for harm caused during and due to their employment with the management company, with a limit of liability that will not be less than the maximum standard limit of liability acceptable in Israel at the time of the arrangement of the policy and/or its renewal.

 

  25.12.4 Insurance covering the loss of rental fees and management expenses for damage caused to the project structure due to the risks specified in section 25.12.1, for a compensation period that will not be less than 12 months. Such policy will contain an express waiver of subrogation clause in favor of the tenant, provided that the waiver of subrogation shall not apply in favor of a person who causes damage maliciously.

The arrangement of the policies specified above shall not add to the liability of the landlord and/or the management company beyond the provisions of the tenancy agreement and/or management contract and/or detract from the liability of the tenant under such agreements (except in respect to the provisions of section 25.12 herein.

 

  25.13 The landlord represents on its behalf and on behalf of the management company that it will not have any claim and/or demand and/or action against the tenant for damage for which they are entitled to indemnification and/or for which they are entitled to be indemnified if not for the deductible specified in the policy) pursuant to the policies that were arranged by them as stated in sections 25.12.1 and 25.12.4 above, and they release the tenant from any liability for such damage. The aforesaid regarding an exemption from liability shall not apply in favor of a person who caused damage maliciously.

If a policy incident occurred that is covered as stated in section 25.12 under circumstances for which the tenant is liable as stated in section 24 above, the tenant shall pay the deductible under such policies, provided that the deductible for each such event does not exceed $10,000 (ten thousand U.S. dollars).

A breach of section 25 and its clauses constitutes a fundamental breach of the agreement.

  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.

As the second part

 

Whereas    The landlord and the tenant signed a lease agreement on March ___ 2000 for offices in the triangle tower of the Azrieli Center and on October 10, 2000 signed a schedule to said agreement by which additional space in the Azrieli Center was leased to the tenant (hereinafter: the “Principal Agreement”);
Whereas    The parties wish to make a number of changes to the principal agreement, as specified in this schedule herein.

Therefore it is declared, stipulated and agreed among the parties as follows:

 

1. All of the terms and definitions appearing in this schedule shall be given the meanings attributed to them by the principal agreement unless expressly stated otherwise in this schedule.

 

2.      2.1

Notwithstanding the provisions of the principal agreement it is agreed that the tenancy for all of the space on the 37th floor in the tower (hereinafter: the “Returned Area”) shall end on June 30, 2002 (hereinafter: the “Determining Date”) contingent upon the tenant satisfying all of his

 

109


 

obligations regarding the returned area until the determining date and contingent upon the fixed compensation to be paid by the tenant for the early termination of the tenancy for the returned area, in the amount of rent for the returned area as it was at the termination of the tenancy period equal to 7 months rent, with lawful VAT. The amount of the fixed compensation shall be paid by the tenant to the landlord during July, 2002.

The parties agree that notwithstanding the provisions of the principal agreement, the rent per square meter for the 37th floor only will remain NIS 81 linked to the index of September 2000 (167.74 points) with VAT. This rent will be in effect for the period of the principal agreement.

 

  2.2 Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in the principal agreement the parties agree that rent for the remainder of the period until the determining date, namely for the months of January 2002 - June 2002, will be paid monthly in advance on the first of each month.

 

  2.3 If the tenant expresses his desire, by written notice delivered to the landlord, to continue and rent a space of 100 - 150 square meters of the premises on the 37th floor and contingent upon the consent of the landlord to such, the tenant will be exempt from paying the fixed compensation described in section 2 above for the proportionate section of the space on the 37th floor which he will continue to rent under this section. The terms of the principal agreement will apply to the premises located on the 36th floor, as it is amended by this agreement. To dispel any doubt, it is understood that the landlord has sole discretion whether to allow the tenant to continue to lease the area specified at the start of this subsection, and such consent may be withheld due to the fear of hurting potential tenants on this floor and/or architectural considerations by the landlord and/or a commitment or desire by the landlord to lease this space to another and/or any other reason without the landlord having any duty to explain its refusal.

 

3.      3.1 If the tenant is able to bring an alternative tenant or tenants for part or all of the premises, in accordance and subject to the provisions of section 22.2 of the principal agreement, who will lease the returned area from the landlord for the period until December 31, 2003 under the same terms, then the tenant will not be required to pay the fixed compensation as set forth in section 2.1 to the landlord.

 

  3.2

Notwithstanding the provisions of section 3.1 above, if the rent which the alternative tenants commit to pay is less than the rent which the tenant committed to pay for the returned area under the principal agreement, then the tenant must pay the landlord until December 31, 2003, as a condition for its consent to lease the returned area to the alternative tenants, the full amount of the difference between NIS 81 with VAT which the tenant committed to pay pursuant to the principal agreement for the returned area, without the rise in price as mentioned in section 2.1 above, and the rent which the alternative tenants committed to pay for the returned area until December 31, 2003. In this instance the tenant will not be required to

 

110


 

pay the fixed compensation specified in section 2.1 above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, it is agreed that in this instance the tenant will not be required to pay the landlord a sum that exceeds the rental fees which the tenant committed to pay the landlord until June 30, 2002 with the fixed compensation as set forth in section 2.1 above. To dispel any doubt it is understood that nothing in this section shall detract from the landlord’s right to refuse to lease to the tenant or to alternative tenants as provided in section 22.2 of the principal agreement.

 

4. After the return of the returned area to the landlord, in accordance with the terms of the principal agreement, subject to the fact that the tenant provided the landlord with a guarantee from the parent company to the principal agreement, as mentioned in section 9.1 herein, and after the tenant paid the landlord the compensation provided in section 2, the amount of the bank guarantee given by the tenant to secure compliance with all of his obligations under the principal agreement will be decreased to NIS 650,000 linked to the December 2001 index.

 

5. In respect to the area on the 36th floor, which constitutes the remaining area of the premises, the provisions of the principal agreement regarding the increase of rent during the initial tenancy period and the rent which will be paid by the tenant during the initial tenancy period, will not exceed the rent applicable to the tenant at the signing of this schedule, as set forth in section 2.1.

 

6. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in the principal agreement, the tenant will be allotted up to 60 parking passes. The tenant will not be required to pay parking fees for 15 parking passes out of all the parking passes that he actually receives for the period between October 1, 2001 ending on December 31, 2003 (hereinafter: the “Determining Period”).

 

7. In furtherance to section 6 above, the tenant will not be required to pay the landlord for the determining period, rent for the area allocated to him on the roof of the tower for the placement of antennas (for 1,000 dollars per month with VAT).

After the expiration of the determining period the tenant will be obligated to pay the landlord rent for the antenna area and parking fees for all the entry passes allotted to him as stated in section 6 above.

 

8. The tenant is given the right to bring the tenancy on the 36th floor, which constitutes the remainder of the premises, to an early termination, with a prior 6 month advance notice to the landlord in such manner so that the tenancy period will not end before April 1, 2003, subject to payment of the fixed compensation as follows:

12. Insofar as additional spaces larger than 175 square meters on the 37th floor will become available, the landlord will notify the tenant in writing of such in which it will specify the location and size of the space that became available and the date on which the space is expected to be available (hereinafter: “Available Space”) and the tenant may within 14 days of the date he receives such notice, notify the landlord in writing whether he is interested in leasing the available space or not. If the tenant gives such notice in writing stating that he is interested in leasing the available space, the available space will be added to the premises and all the provisions of the principal agreement and this schedule will apply to that space, including rental fees for each square meter of the available space and the tenancy period for the available space and the cost of connecting the space to the existing premises.

 

13. The tenant is also granted the right to lease from the landlord, for his needs and uses, further available space that will not be less than 175 square meters in the triangle tower and not exceeding gross 700 square meters by giving written notice to the landlord six months in advance. The tenant may deliver such notice to the landlord no later than the expiration of July 31, 2006 (and if the agreement is extended for another period, then he may deliver such notice no later than July 31, 2009). If the tenant delivered such notice to the landlord the landlord will notify the tenant of the location of available space that it has in the triangle tower, if any exist, and the size of the spaces, and the tenant will answer the landlord in writing within 14 days of receipt of the landlord’s notice, which of the available spaces he is interested in leasing (hereinafter: “Additional Areas”). The additional areas will constitute an integral part of the premises and all the provisions of the principal agreement and this schedule shall apply to them, including the amount of rental fees for each square meter of the additional area and the tenancy period for the additional areas.

 

14. The tenant may advance the termination of the tenancy in respect to sections of the premises in respect to which the total area does not exceed 750 square meters or in respect to any area of the premises subject to the following:

 

  14.1 If the tenant asks to revoke the tenancy in respect to a section of the premises then such revocation will be done by a written notice to the landlord three months in advance to which the tenant will attach a blueprint indicating the area to be vacated and its measurements (hereinafter: the “Vacated Area”) and the date on which the area will be vacated which will not be earlier than three months from the date of delivery of the notice to the landlord.

 

126


The tenant will return the vacated area to the landlord on the date specified in his notice but not earlier than three months from the date the notice was delivered to the landlord. The tenant will be responsible to carry out at his expense all the work required to separate the vacated area from the rest of the premises until the date the area is to be returned to the landlord. All the provisions of the principal agreement relating to the evacuation of the premises and its return to the landlord will apply mutatis mutandis to the vacated area.

 

  14.2 If the tenant wishes to end the tenancy period prior to the expiration of the tenancy period in respect to any space on the premises, then the tenant must deliver written notice of such to the landlord in which the advanced date for ending the tenancy is specified which as stated will not be before the end of six months from the delivery of a notice to the landlord.

 

  14.3 In the event of an early termination of the tenancy, the tenant will pay a fixed compensation to the landlord to be calculated according to the work budget, which was actually used by the tenant, the proportionate size of the vacated area out of the entire area of the premises and the time period that is left of the tenancy from the date of the early termination of the tenancy until the end of the tenancy period.

The formula to calculate the compensation to be paid to the landlord is as follows:

A - budget for finishing work

B - the returned area

N - the remainder of the tenancy period

B - The amount of the compensation owed to the landlord

The total tenancy period is 29 months

The size of the premises, including the new area is 2,215 square meters.

B/2,215 x A x N/29 = E

For example: If the work budget used is 50 thousand dollars, the returned area is 750 square meters and the remaining tenancy period from the date the area is returned until the end of the tenancy period is 12 months, then the compensation owed by the tenant will be calculated as follows:

750 divided into 2,215 multiplied by 50,000 multiplied by 12 divided by 29 = 7,005 dollars.

 

  14.4 The compensation set forth in section 13.3 shall be paid to the landlord at the end of three months from the date of the delivery of the notice to the landlord, in the event of the return of a section of the premises and at the end of six months from the delivery of notice to the landlord in the event of the return of the entire premises.

 

127


15. The amount of the bank guarantee which the tenant must deliver to the landlord pursuant to the principal agreement will be in the amount of rental fees fixed in section 3 above, for the premises and the new area for a period of three months, with lawful VAT. The bank guarantee will remain in effect until the expiration of 3 months form the end of the tenancy period. Insofar as the area of the premises expands or decreases in accordance with the rights conferred upon the tenant to increase or reduce the area of the premises, so too the bank guarantee will be adjusted accordingly.

 

16. The remainder of the provisions of the principal agreement, as long as they have not been expressly amended and/or changed by this schedule shall remain in effect without any change.

Distribution of fine

Fine in the amount of a month’s rent - exit fine.

$30,440 = NIS 4,393 representative dollar: NIS 65.55 per square meter x 2,040 square meters of the existing premises.

Discount in parking towards rent:

63 parking places - cost of a parking space NIS 668.32 = $152.13

(Another 20 parking spaces for free)

Cost of 63 parking spaces in the new period $140 per space.

Difference between parking in the preceding period to the new period: $12.13 per space.

$22,161.5 = 29 months x 63 parking spots x $12.13 difference of parking between the periods.

Parking credit in terms of rent: $0.35 per square meter = 2,215 square meters: 29 months: $22,161.5 amount of discount for parking.
