the Leased Premises, must be made in such a manner so as to allow the
Lessor (and others acting on its behalf) easy access to the pipes, in
order to perform repairs or additions to or replacements of pipes, and
so that any covering, coating, concealment or construction in the
vicinity of "piping of the building" must be made so as to be easily
removable without any difficulty for the performance of the aforesaid
throughout the Term of the Lease.
The provisions of this Section 14.7 apply both with respect to Interior
Work performed by the Lessee and with respect to work on the Leased
Premises due to be performed, under this agreement, by the Lessor (if
any).
The provisions of this section with respect to facility of access to
the "piping of the building" and the servicing thereof apply also with
respect to the Lessee's interior design and to the placing of furniture
and cupboards, all in order to allow the Lessor (and others acting on
its behalf) easy access to the "piping of the building" for the
servicing thereof, or for the performance of additions thereto.
The term "piping of the building" shall mean any pipe (including
drainage, water, sewage and sanitary pipes, insertion pipes of other
systems such as electricity, communications etc.) serving the building
at which the Leased Premises or another unit in the building of the
Leased Premises are located.
The performance of servicing or additions at the locations of the
"piping of the building" as set out above shall be made by the Lessor
after prior coordination by the Lessor with the Lessee, if possible
(except for particularly urgent emergencies); if the Lessor shall cause
damage to the covering near the "piping of the building" serviced or
added to, then the Lessor shall be responsible for reinstating the
former condition thereof.
14.8 Each of the provisions of this Section 14 is a fundamental term of the
agreement, breach of which constitutes a fundamental breach of the
agreement, subject also to the provisions of Section 18 hereunder.
15. Return of the Leased Premises to the Lessor
-------------------------------------------
15.1 Upon expiration of the Term of the Lease and at any time prior thereto,
if the lease shall terminate or expire prior to the full term thereof,
the Lessee shall return the Leased Premises to the Lessor, vacant of
any person and object, the Leased Premises being in the condition set
forth in Section 15.2 hereunder.
15.2 The Lessee undertakes to return the Leased Premises to the Lessor in a
good and proper condition as received, except for fair wear and tear,
in addition to all Interior Work, including all improvements,
renovations, work, additions, modifications and systems to be performed
or erected at the Leased Premises, whether by the Lessor or by the
Lessee. The Lessor reserves the right to require the Lessee to remove
any addition or work or facility performed or erected by the Lessee,
provided that it shall notify the Lessee of its said demand at the time
of approval of the Lessee's plans, submitted to the Lessor for approval
pursuant to this agreement. In such a case, the Lessee shall be obliged
to remove the same as required by the Lessor and to reinstate the
former condition of the Leased Premises as surrendered to the Lessee,
by the date of return of the Leased Premises to the Lessor.
If the Lessor shall not have required the Lessee to remove any work,
addition, facility or system (including according to Appendix C of the
agreement), then they shall all belong to the Lessor, and the Lessee
shall be entitled to no right for payment, indemnification or
consideration therefor from the Lessor.
15.3 Shortly prior to the expiration of the lease, the Lessor shall draw a
list of work, defects and repairs (each, the "Repairs"), which the
Lessee shall be required to perform by the date of return of the Leased
Premises to the Lessor. It is clarified that the said list of work,
defects and repairs shall not refer to any addition or work or facility
performed or erected by the Lessee at the Leased Premises, but the
Lessor shall be entitled to require the Lessee to remove the same, as
set out in subsection 15.2 above.
15.4 The list referred to in Section 15.3 shall also include prices for the
cost of the Repairs; in the event that the Lessee shall have failed to
perform the Repairs by the end of the lease, then the Lessor shall be
entitled to perform the same in lieu thereof, and the Lessee shall have
to pay the Lessor, by the end of the lease, the value of the cost of
the Repairs, also if the Lessor shall not have performed the same at
such time or will not perform the same. The provisions hereof shall not
derogate from any right of the Lessor's against the Lessee to receive
any compensation or remedy due to the Lessee's failure to timely
perform the Repairs, pursuant to the provisions of this agreement
(including compensation due to any delay in a lease to others).
Should the Lessee dispute the prices stated with respect to the cost of
the Repairs, an Engineer agreed upon by both parties shall resolve the
dispute no later than two weeks prior to the end of the lease. In the
event that the parties shall fail to agree on the identity of the
engineer, then such engineer shall be named by the secretary (or
chairman) of the A.A.A.I. Association in the District of Jerusalem
(pursuant to the request of either party), provided that the
appointment and decision thereof shall be made within two weeks from
the date of the Lessee's notice disputing the prices.
15.5 No later than two weeks prior to the end of the lease, the Lessee shall
deliver to the Lessor approvals from the municipality, the electricity
company and Bezeq whereby the Lessee shall have paid all payments
imposed thereon with respect to the period up to the end of the lease,
including water, electricity, municipal taxes and communication.
15.6 Each of the provisions of this Section 15 is a fundamental term of the
agreement, breach of which shall constitute a fundamental breach of the
agreement, subject also to the provisions of Section 18 hereunder.

amount), in addition to arrears interest double the interest rate
(including commissions and costs) charged by Bank Hapoalim Ltd. (Tel
Aviv main branch) in debit accounts of non-preferred clients; the
calculation of such arrears interest shall be made in the manner and
method as calculated by Bank Hapoalim Ltd. during the period of arrears
(including compound interest).
In the event that payment of Rent by the Lessee shall be no more than
seven days in arrears, the Lessee shall pay the Lessor arrears interest
at the rate of interest charged in debit accounts of Bank Hapoalim for
the amount in arrears.
18. Damages, restitution and remedies
---------------------------------
18.1 It is agreed that the payments and amounts owed by the Lessee, the
dates of payment thereof and the rendering of the guarantees in full
are fundamental terms of the agreement. This provision shall supplement
any other provision in
this agreement and in the appendices thereof, in which various
provisions have been determined to be fundamental terms of the
agreement.
The aforesaid notwithstanding, a delay of no more than seven days in
the payment of Rent shall not be deemed as a breach of this agreement
by the Lessee, provided that the Lessee shall pay the Lessor arrears
interest at the rate of interest charged in debit accounts of Bank
Hapoalim for the amount in arrears (up to seven days as aforesaid).
18.2 In the event that the Lessee shall have breached a fundamental term of
the agreement, and in the event that the Lessee shall have breached any
other term and shall have failed to rectify such breach within 30 days
from the date of receipt of warning thereof, such failure shall be
deemed as a fundamental breach of the agreement and the Lessor shall be
entitled to terminate the agreement. Termination shall be made by
written notice to be delivered to the Lessee or sent thereto by
registered post.
18.3 In the event that the agreement shall have been lawfully terminated by
the Lessor, as aforesaid, the Lessee shall be obliged to vacate the
Leased Premises within two weeks from the date of termination, and the
vacation shall be subject to the provisions of Section 15 above.
18.4 In addition to any remedy to which the Lessor is entitled, pursuant to
the agreement or any law, due to the breach of the agreement by the
Lessee, the Lessor shall be entitled to compensation from the Lessee
for all damages, losses and diminution of revenue caused thereto as a
result of the breach by the Lessee or due to the exercise of any remedy
available to the Lessor.
Without derogating from any right, compensation and other remedy to
which the Lessor is entitled, it is agreed that the Lessee shall be
obliged to pay the Lessor a daily fee for each day of delay in
returning the Leased Premises to the Lessor pursuant to the provisions
of Section 15 above, the amount of which shall be equal to 1/15th of
the Monthly Rent. The Lessor's right to the fee and the Lessee's
obligation to pay the same shall confer no right on the Lessee.
It is agreed that the Lessor shall be entitled to liquidated damages in
the event of the breach of any fundamental term by the Lessee, in an
amount equal to the Rent due to the Lessor for 6 months of lease. The
scope of such compensation is determined by the parties, after having
been properly estimated by them while taking into consideration the
length of the lease period and the special terms of the Rent determined
by the Lessor in this agreement, and while taking into consideration
other special terms agreed upon by the Lessor. The Lessor shall be
entitled to the liquidated damages in addition to any damages, fees,
rights or remedies available to the Lessor pursuant to this agreement
and any law.
18.5 Any amount of any kind which a party to the agreement shall have paid
in lieu of the other party, shall be repaid by the other party to the
first party within
one week from the date of the first party's demand, in addition to
indexation to be calculated from the date of payment until the end of
such week; however, it is hereby expressly agreed that the Lessee shall
not be entitled to offset any debt owed thereto by the Lessor pursuant
to this section, or at all, against any payment owned by the Lessee to
the Lessor.
18.6 The Lessor shall be entitled to foreclose guarantees and securities
provided by the Lessee pursuant to Section 19 hereunder, in addition to
any remedy and compensation to which the Lessor is entitled pursuant to
the agreement and any law.
19. Guarantees
----------
19.1 Revoked.
19.2 As security for the fulfillment of the undertakings thereof, the Lessee
hereby delivers to the Lessor an autonomous financial bank guarantee in
the amount of NIS 1,154,130 (one million, one hundred fifty four
thousand, one hundred and thirty New Israeli Shekels) (linked to the
index), in the form of the document attached to this agreement as an
integral part hereof and marked "Appendix F". The sum of the bank
guarantee as of the date of signing of the agreement is equal to
$240,360 in addition to V.A.T. (which are, at present, equal to six
months' Monthly Rent).
The Basic Index for the bank guarantee shall be 105.8 points (April
2000 index).
The bank guarantee shall be in favor of the Lessor, and shall be valid
for one year and three months from the date of signing of this
agreement; the Lessee undertakes to extend the validity thereof so long
as the Term of the Lease shall be in effect, for another year, in such
a manner that there will always be such bank guarantee in favor of the
Lessor, and that such bank guarantee shall be in effect for three
months after expiration of the Term of the Lease.
Extension of the bank guarantee must be carried out no later than two
weeks prior to the expiration thereof. In the event that the Lessee
shall fail to extend the validity thereof, the Lessor shall be entitled
to exercise the same.
19.3 It is agreed that the Lessor shall be entitled to exercise the bank
guarantee in the event that the Lessee shall fail to take possession of
the Leased Premises on the date fixed herein, or in the event that the
Lessee shall not have fulfilled any pecuniary obligation by such time,
and in order to cover any undertaking and debt owed by the Lessee (to
both the Lessor and the Management Company), and to cover any damage
caused thereto by the Lessee, and in any event of breach of a
fundamental term of the agreement by the Lessee (in addition to any
remedy to which the Lessor shall be entitled under any law and the
agreement); Provided, however, that it shall have given the Lessee - as
a courtesy only, and without derogating from the autonomy of the bank
guarantee - notice of its intention of exercising the same at least
seven days in advance.
Exercise of the bank guarantee will not constitute, per se, revocation
of the agreement, and the Lessee shall be obliged, immediately after
exercise of the guarantee, to deliver a new bank guarantee to the
Lessor in the form of Appendix F hereof, in such amount and of such
effect as set out in Section 19.2 above.
19.4 The Lessor shall return the bank guarantee (or any amount remaining
therefrom after exercise thereof) to the Lessee no later than three
months after expiration of the lease, provided that the Lessee shall
owe the Lessor no debt or amount at such time.
19.5 For the purpose of collecting and repaying any debt of the Lessee's and
in order to ensure fulfillment of any obligation imposed on the Lessee
(including any debt or obligation of the Lessee to the Management
Company), the Lessor may exercise any security and any guarantee
individually, or all of them, or any part of them together, and neither
the Lessee nor any guarantor shall be entitled to prevent the Lessor
from so doing. Bank guarantees in this agreement are autonomous and are
not contingent on this agreement or otherwise, and neither the Lessee
nor anyone who shall have caused the issuance of the bank guarantee
shall be entitled to delay the exercise of the bank guarantee for any
reason.
19.6 Any delay in the delivery of the guarantees pursuant to Section 19
shall entitle the Lessor to postpone surrender of possession of the
Leased Premises to the Lessee, but the Term of the Lease shall be
calculated from the Date of Commencement of the Lease as determined by
the Lessor, and the Lessee shall be liable for payment of Rent (and
payment to the Management Company) and for any obligation imposed
thereon pursuant to this agreement as of the "Date of Commencement of
the Lease" or from the date set out herein, also if it shall have
failed to take possession of the Leased Premises as aforesaid.
19.7 Each of the provisions of this Section 19 constitutes a fundamental
term of this agreement, breach of which shall constitute a fundamental
breach of the agreement, subject also to the provisions of Section 18
hereunder.
20. Miscellaneous
-------------
20.1 The Lessee shall pay the Lessor, in connection and together with any
payment made to the Lessor, value added tax at the lawful rate thereof
at the time of payment. The Lessor shall deliver a tax invoice to the
Lessee after the payment, within the period of time fixed in the law.
20.2 The parties shall bear the costs of stamping this agreement in equal
shares.
20.3 The Lessee shall be entitled to post an identifying signpost in the
building of the Leased Premises. The size, design outline and location
thereof must be approved in advance and in writing by the Lessor, in
addition to any permit required by law, all under the Lessee's
responsibility and at its expense.
20.4 The Lessee undertakes to properly comply with the provisions of any law
in effect during the lease with respect to the Leased Premises, the use
thereof, the business conducted therein and any act performed therein,
throughout the duration of the lease.
The Lessee shall be liable for any damage or cost incurred by the
Lessor due to the Lessee's failure to fulfill such undertakings, and
the Lessee shall be obliged to indemnify the Lessor, immediately upon
demand, for any damage, fine, loss or expense incurred by the Lessor.
20.5 It is agreed that only actual payment of any amount owed by the Lessee
to the Lessor, or the actual clearance of a promissory note, including
payment of Rent, shall be deemed as proper payment. The mere delivery
of promissory notes to the Lessor, pursuant to the provisions of this
agreement, or the endorsement thereof, shall not constitute payment.
20.6 The Lessee confirms that it has examined the plans applicable to the
Project and the Leased Premises at the planning and building
authorities, and its ability to operate the Leased Premises in
accordance with the purpose of the lease, and that it neither has nor
shall entertain claims of any kind in connection with its ability or
inability to lawfully obtain a business license.
The failure to lawfully obtain a license, or any revocation of such
license, shall not entitle the Lessee to terminate the lease. It is
hereby expressly agreed that the Lessor neither undertakes, nor is
liable to the Lessee or at all for any matter relating to the license
required by the Lessee and in connection with the Lessee's ability to
use the Leased Premises.
All expenses, taxes and mandatory payments required in order to receive
and maintain the license shall be borne by the Lessee alone. If the
Lessor shall incur any cost due to the need for a license, or due to
receipt or maintenance thereof, the Lessee shall repay the Lessor
therefor within one week from being required to do so by the Lessor.
The Lessee shall use the Leased Premises only in accordance with the
purpose of the lease and with the provisions of any law.
The provisions of this subsection notwithstanding, the Lessor
undertakes to employ its best efforts in order to obtain a Form 4 for
the Leased Premises by October 1, 2000. This date shall be postponed
for no more than three months if the Form 4 shall not have been
obtained by such time for reasons outside the Lessor's control. If the
Lessor shall not be in possession of the Form 4 by the date of
surrender of possession, the Lessor undertakes to provide the Lessee
with written confirmation from the safety engineer that there is no
safety-related problem in taking possession of and occupying the Leased
Premises. The Lessor undertakes that in any case it shall have the Form
4 no later than three months from the said date. The Lessor undertakes
to indemnify the Lessee for any damage and/or expense incurred or
suffered thereby due to the fact that the Form 4 shall not have been
obtained with respect to the Leased Premises, including for damage
caused due to the non-receipt of insurance payments because of the
absence of the Form 4.
20.7 The parties agree that this agreement alone reflects all that is
stipulated, binding and agreed by and between the parties. No
information, document, consent or notice given to the Lessee by the
Lessor or on its behalf, if given, prior to the signing of this
agreement, is or shall be of any effect.
No obligation, stipulation, waiver or modification of the agreement
shall be of any effect unless made in advance and in writing. The
failure to exercise any remedy or guarantee shall not be deemed as a
waiver.
20.8 The Lessor shall be entitled to transfer or pledge the rights thereof
under this agreement to another or to others. The Lessor shall notify
the Lessee thereof.
20.9 It is agreed that the Lessee shall be entitled to operate the Leased
Premises also during the evening and night hours and on Saturday
nights, after the Sabbath is out, and the Lessor confirms that it has
no objection thereto; provided that the hours of operation shall comply
with the provisions of any law. With respect to the operation of the
systems of the Project during such hours or on Saturday nights, the
Lessee shall coordinate such matters with the Management Company, and
the operation of the systems and services of the Management Company
(including air-conditioning) shall be made against such payment and
under such terms and conditions as the Management Company shall
determine. The Lessee has noted that it shall be required to pay
special payments to the Management Company for the operation of the
Leased Premises and the operation of the systems and the rendering of
the services of the Management Company outside normal hours of
operation and on Saturday nights, according to terms to be determined
by the Management Company.
20.10 For the sake of good order, it is hereby emphasized that the Project
shall not be operated on Saturdays, holidays and days of rest under any
law. The Lessee has noted that the Project shall be closed at such
times, and that emergency entry thereto shall only be possible through

----------------------
24.1 The parties agree that the Lessee shall have a right of first refusal
with respect to the lease of additional areas of approximately 1,000 m2
adjacent to the Leased Premises (level 718), demarcated in yellow on
the drawing of the Leased Premises (hereinafter: the "Additional
Areas"), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this section
hereunder.
This right shall be available to the Lessee until December 31, 2001, at
which time it shall expire ipso facto.
24.2 In the event that the Lessor shall have received an offer to lease any
of the Additional Areas, the Lessor shall notify the Lessee thereof in
writing, stating
the size of the area proposed to be leased, the location thereof, the
proposed duration of the lease and the rent proposed by the potential
lessee.
24.3 The Lessee shall be entitled to notify the Lessor in writing, within 15
business days, of its wish to exercise its right with respect to the
Additional Areas and to lease the same in lieu of the potential lessee.
24.4 In the event that the Lessee shall have notified the Lessor as
aforesaid, the Additional Areas shall, starting three months after
delivery of such notice by the Lessee, become part of the Leased
Premises, as defined in this agreement, and shall be subject to all the
provisions of the lease agreement, the appendices thereof, the
management contract and the parking agreement signed at the time of
signing of this lease agreement, mutatis mutandis and subject to the
provisions of Section 24.5 hereunder.
Without derogating from the aforesaid, the Lessor shall be entitled to
require the Lessee to sign an additional lease agreement - identical to
this lease agreement, mutatis mutandis - with respect to the Additional
Areas, and the Lessee shall do so within 15 days from the date of
receipt of the Lessor's demand as aforesaid; failure to do so shall
release the Lessor from any obligation to the Lessee with respect to
this right of first refusal.
24.5 If the Lessee shall exercise its said right, the Lessee shall pay the
Lessor, starting three months after the date of delivery of the
Lessee's notice as aforesaid, rent for the Additional Areas at the rate
set out in Section 5 hereof, as being on the date of commencement of
the lease of the Additional Areas.
24.6 In the event that the Lessee shall have given no notice of its wish to
exercise its right with respect to the Additional Areas within the time
frame set out in Section 24.3 above as aforesaid, the Lessor shall be
entitled to lease the same to the potential lessee.
24.7 It is agreed and clarified that the Lessee's right of first refusal as
set out in this section refers to the lease of all the Additional
Areas, i.e., approximately 1,000 m2. In the event that the Lessor shall
have notified the Lessee of an offer to lease an area contained in the
Additional Areas but not all of the Additional Areas, the Lessee shall
be entitled to exercise its right as aforesaid and to lease all of the
Additional Areas from the Lessor. In the event that the Lessee shall
refuse to lease all of the Additional Areas and shall wish to lease
only the area contained therein, to which the proposal of the potential
lessee shall refer, the Lessor shall not be obliged to lease the same
to the Lessee and shall be entitled to lease the same to the potential
lessee.
24.8 The provisions of Section 24.7 above notwithstanding, it is agreed that
in the event that the Lessee shall not have exercised the right of
first refusal conferred thereon pursuant to this section and the Lessor
shall have leased an area contained in the Additional Areas to the
potential lessee, the Lessee shall be entitled to lease the remaining
areas contained in the Additional Areas, after
deduction of the area leased to the potential lessee from the Lessor,
provided that it shall have notified the Lessor of its wish to do so
within fifteen business days from the date of the Lessor's
communication thereto concerning the potential lessee's proposal, and
shall have fulfilled the Lessor's requirement to sign an additional
lease agreement as set out in Section 24.4 above.
25. Since the Lessor has pledged the rights thereof in the Project and the
Leased Premises for the construction of the Project and as part of the
financial support provided by Bank Hapoalim, it is therefore agreed
that the Lessor pledges and assigns by way of a pledge all of the
rights thereof against the Lessee to Bank Hapoalim, and hereby
irrevocably instructs the Lessee to pay the Rent and all other
payments, due and to be due thereto from the Lessee pursuant to this
lease agreement, to the Lessor's account #696653 at the Xxxxx Square
branch in Tel Aviv (#609) of Bank Hapoalim. The Lessee's signing of
this lease agreement constitutes an undertaking on its part to the bank
to act as aforesaid.
26. Permission to park at the parking lots of the Project
-----------------------------------------------------
The Lessor confirms that 20 parking spaces (numbers ___ to ___,
inclusive, in the parking lot of Building B) and 80 parking spaces
(numbers ___ to ___, inclusive, in the parking lot in Building C) - 100
parking spaces in total, shall be allotted to the Lessee in the parking
lots of the Project, for the duration of the Term of the Lease,
provided that the Lessee shall enter into a separate "parking
agreement" with the parking lot operator, shall pay the parking fee in
accordance with the "parking agreement" and shall fulfill all the other
terms and conditions of the "parking agreement".
It is agreed that the monthly parking fee for each parking space shall
be NIS 287 (two hundred eighty seven New Israeli Shekels) (in addition
to V.A.T.), linked to the index (Basic Index: 105.8 points).
At the time of signing of this agreement, the Lessee and the Lessor are
signing also a "parking agreement", but the Lessee confirms that the
"parking lot operator" pursuant to the "parking agreement" shall be
determined by the Lessor after the signing of the "parking agreement",
and that any right and obligation of the "parking lot operator" shall
belong to the said "parking lot operator" in lieu of the Lessor.
Once the "parking lot operator" shall replace the Lessor, the Lessor
shall have no obligation with respect to parking and to the parking
lot, except for the confirmation thereof that the Lessee is entitled
(under the foregoing conditions) to the said parking spaces, in
consideration for the said fee.
In all matters pertaining to parking, only the provisions of the
"parking agreement" shall apply.
In witness whereof, the parties have hereto set their hands,
