this Agreement (hereinafter: “the Construction
Contract” and “the

Municipality, in accordance with its above undertakings and the provisions
set forth below:
|
Included
in the foregoing, it is agreed that in respect of the timetables for erecting of
the sports center and the school (as defined in the Construction Contract
(hereinbefore and hereinafter: “the Sports Center and the

below, with it being hereby clarified that in every case of a conflict or
non-conformity as between the timetables that are the subject of the
Construction Contract (including those mentioned in this Clause 4.13 below), and
the timetables that are the subject of this Agreement, the timetables that are
the subject of this Agreement shall prevail:
|
4.13.1.1
|
The
applications for the issue of excavation and shoring permits for the areas
on which the Sports Center and the School will be built shall be submitted
simultaneously with the lodgment of application for the issue of
excavation and shoring permits for the areas on which the parking areas
and/or commercial space within the confines of the
Kufsa.
|
|
4.13.1.2
|
The
applications for the issue of building permits for the Sports Center and
the School shall be lodged simultaneously with the filing of the
applications for the issue of the building permits (as distinct from
excavation and shoring permits) for the parking areas and/or the
commercial space within the confines of the
Kufsa.
|
4.13.1.3
|
The
initial occupation of the parking areas and/or the commercial space within
the Kufsa shall be made contemporaneously with and subject to the

and the School. It is hereby agreed that if the Purchaser
wishes to make use of the parking areas and/or the commercial space within

address an appropriate application to the Director of the Property
Division at the Municipality. The Director of the Property
Division at the Municipality will determine whether it is possible to
accede to the Purchaser’s application and what the conditions are in the
scope of which the Municipality is prepared to allow use of the parking
areas and/or the commercial space within the Kufsa prior to production of
a certificate for initial occupation of the Sports Center and the
School.
|

4.13.2
|
The
Purchaser (including the Mall Company) hereby confirms that it knows and
is familiar with the provisions of the Construction Contract, including
the timetable specified in the Construction Contract. This
includes the fact that the Purchaser (including the Mall Company) confirms
and agrees to the contingencies laid down in the Construction Contract and
in this Agreement above between the planning, construction, completion and
initial occupation of the parking areas and the commercial space within
the Kufsa, and the planning, construction, completion and initial
occupation of the Sports Center and the School. In addition,
the Purchaser (including the Mall Company) agrees that the timetable for
constructing the Public Buildings as prescribed in the Construction
Contract and/or in this Agreement will be registered as conditions in the
building permits in the Kufsa, and that it waives any allegation and/or
demand against the Company and/or the Municipality and/or either of them,
in connection with the contingency and the conditions in the building
permit as aforesaid.
|
4.13.3
|
It
is further agreed, in relation to the Public Buildings, that the Company
and the Municipality will bear the expenses for the construction thereof
in a manner whereby the Company will pay the Housing Company and will be
directly liable to it with respect to 75.84% of “costs of construction of the
Public Buildings” (as same are defined below) and the Municipality
will pay the Housing Company and will be directly liable to it in respect
of 24.16% of the costs of erecting the Public Buildings. For
the removal of doubt, it is clarified that the obligations of the
Municipality and the Company to bear such costs applies only in relation
to the Public Buildings as defined above. With respect to this
sub-clause 4.12 [sic] “costs of constructing the
Public Buildings” means – the specific costs (including a
percentage of the increment to cost that will be added in respect thereof,
to the extent that this is specified in Appendix C1 to the Construction
Contract) which are specified in the aforesaid Appendix C1, provided that
the amounts of the cost components were approved in writing and in advance
by the Company and the Municipality, through the administration as defined
in Appendix 4.16 to this Agreement (hereinbefore and hereinafter: “the
Administration”).
|
With
respect to payment of fees and levies as mentioned in Appendix C to the
Construction Contract, the Company shall be entitled to elect to make payment
thereof directly to the Local Committee and to the Municipality and not through
the Housing Company.
The
Housing Company undertakes that all the contractual arrangements between it and
designers and executing contractors in connection with the design and
construction of the Public Buildings will be done on a basis of tenders which
the Housing Company will conduct, with full transparency vis-à-vis the
Administration. The Housing Company further undertakes that
construction of the Public Buildings will be managed by it as a separate project
independent from the Purchaser’s Project, in which a separate bookkeeping and
accounting system will be maintained, and it is agreed that the costs of
constructing the Public Buildings will include only direct and specific costs of
constructing the Public Buildings without a loading of costs connected with
other parts of the Purchaser’s Project.
17
It is
agreed that in any event the costs of constructing the Public Buildings will not
exceed an aggregate amount of NIS 97,706,667 including V.A.T. (hereinafter in
this sub-clause: “the Limit
Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing it is agreed that if
it transpires that for purposes of meeting the obligation to erect the Public
Buildings in accordance with the technical specifications that were attached to
the Construction Contract, the “costs of erecting the Public Buildings” (as
defined above) are expected to exceed the Limit Amount, then the Housing Company
will refer to the Company and to the Municipality, through the Administration,
in order for the latter to examine whether a deviation from the Limit Amount is
indeed required. If such deviation is approved by the Company and the
Municipality through the Administration, then the approved amount of the
deviation will be added to the Limit Amount, where in each case it is hereby
agreed that the total amount of the costs of construction of the Public
Buildings which the Company and the Municipality will bear (each according to
its pro rata share)
will under no circumstances exceed a sum of NIS 102,333,333 plus V.A.T. as
prescribed by law (hereinafter: “the Maximum Limit
Amount”). Where the actual costs of constructing the Public
Buildings exceed the Maximum Limit Amount, the Housing Company will at its
expense bear any amount which exceeds the Maximum Limit Amount. It is
agreed that the Limit Amount as well as the Maximum Limit Amount will be linked
to the Building Inputs Index commencing from the date of signing of this
Agreement and until the actual effecting of each payment.
It is
further agreed that the Administration’s examination as aforesaid will be
carried out in a manner and at a time which shall not cause a delay in the
planning and execution of the construction of the Public Buildings in relation
to the timetable specified in the Construction Contract and in this
Agreement.
The
Company's share in the costs of constructing the Public Buildings in accordance
with the provisions of this sub-clause above shall be paid on a basis of current
month + 45 days from the date on which each account for payment is presented to
the Company and to the Municipality through the Administration, and subject to
the condition that the account was approved for payment by the
Administration. V.A.T. as prescribed by law shall be added to each
payment against receipt of a valid tax invoice.
In every
case of an engineering dispute between the parties in relation to the costs of
constructing the Public Buildings, except in relation to (1) approval of a
deviation from the Limit Amount as defined above; (2) anything connected with
the obligation of the Company and the Municipality to bear the aforementioned
costs; and (3) the maximum amounts which will be imposed on the Municipality and
the Company and the conditions specified above in regard thereto, the dispute
will be referred for the decision of a civil engineer who will be appointed with
the consent of the Company, the Municipality and the Housing Company, and in the
absence of agreement between them, the engineer will be appointed by the
chairman of the Society of Architects and Engineers (hereinafter: “the Engineering
Arbiter”). The Engineering Arbiter shall act as an expert and
not as an arbitrator and his decision shall be final and binding on the
parties.
It is
clarified that all the provisions of this sub-clause 4.13 are intended to add to
the provisions of the Construction Contract, on a basis that under all
circumstances the liability of the Municipality and of the Company to pay the
costs of construction of the Public Buildings is limited to the Limit Amount or
to the Maximum Limit Amount (as defined above) respectively.
18
For the
avoidance of doubt it is hereby clarified that apart from the payment of the
Company’s share of the costs of the Public Buildings as described above in this
sub-clause 4.13.3, the Company will not owe any liability either vis-à-vis the Housing Company
nor vis-à-vis any third
party, on any matter connected, directly or indirectly, with the Public
Buildings, including the planning, licensing, construction and initial
occupation thereof.

Company.

liquidated and discharged (hereinafter: “the Updated Letter of
Intent”). The validity of the Updated Letter of Intent will be
extended if necessary, from time to time, in a manner whereby the Updated Letter
of Intent will be in force as at the date of effecting of the Second

the areas of Plot No. 6, in the scope of the Purchaser’s Project, as
described below (hereinafter: “the Additional
Consideration”):
|
6.3.1
|
The
terms mentioned in this Clause 6.3 and all the sub-clauses hereof will
have the meaning ascribed to them in Clause 6.7.1
below.
|
6.3.2
|
If
the average selling price per sq.m. should exceed NIS 15,517 (excluding
V.A.T.) linked to the upside index as stated in Clause 6.3.4 below
(hereinafter: “the Basic
Price”), but be less than NIS 16,379 (excluding V.A.T.) linked to
the upside index as stated in sub-clause 6.3.4 below (hereinafter: “the Intermediate
Price”), the Housing Company will pay the Company an amount
equivalent to the full difference between the Intermediate Price and the
Basic Price where this is multiplied by the sale areas and the Company’s
share in the Additional Consideration, plus V.A.T. as prescribed by law
against receipt of a valid tax
invoice.
|
For
example–
In a case
in which there has been no rise in the upside index, the average selling price
per sq.m. will be NIS 16,000 (excluding V.A.T.) and the sale areas will stand at
50,000 sq.m., then the Additional Consideration to the Company will
be:
50,000* 75.84%*(16000-15517) = NIS 18,315,360 plus V.A.T. according
to law.
33
6.3.3
|
If
the average selling price per sq.m. should exceed the Intermediate Price
(hereinafter: “the High
Price”), the Housing Company will pay the Company the following
cumulative amounts, together with V.A.T. according to law and against
receipt of a valid tax invoice:
|
6.3.3.1
|
The
full difference between the Intermediate Price and the Basic Price where
it is multiplied by the sale areas and by the Company’s share in the
Additional Consideration.
|
6.3.3.2
|
50%
of the difference between the High Price and the Intermediate Price where
this is multiplied by the sale areas and by the Company’s share of the
Additional Consideration.
|
For example
–
In a case
in which the upside index has not risen, the average selling price per sq.m.
will be NIS 18,000 (excluding V.A.T.), the sale areas will stand at 50,000
sq.m., then the Additional Consideration will be the following cumulative
amounts:
50,000* 75.84%*(16379-15517) = NIS 32,687,040 plus V.A.T. according
to law.
50,000* 50%*75.84%*(18000-16379) = NIS 30,734,160 plus V.A.T. according
to law.
And altogether the Additional
Consideration to the Company will amount to a sum of NIS 63,421,200 plus V.A.T.
according to law.
6.3.4
|
The
Basic Price and the Intermediate Price (as will be updated in accordance
with the provisions of sub-clause 6.3.5 below to the extent that same are
updated) will be linked to the index or to the Building Inputs Index,
according to the index to which the proceeds that will be received from
buyers of apartments will be linked and as will be mentioned in the sale
contract with the buyers of apartments (hereinafter: “the Upside Index”) and
will bear indexation differences at the percentage rise of the Upside
Index which is known at the time of doing the relevant accounting as
against the Upside Index that was known at the date of signing of an
agreement for the sale of the first apartment in the Purchaser’s Project
between the Purchaser and a third party, while a decline in the Upside
Index will not lead to a reduction of the Basic Price and the Intermediate
Price, as the case may be.
|
6.3.5
|
If
building construction has been approved to the Housing Company pursuant to
which the average main area of an apartment will be less than 110 sq.m.
but will not be less than 91.7 sq.m. and the Company was held liable in
respect thereof for a betterment levy or payment of betterment and/or if a
concession was approved to the Housing Company in regard to the adding of
two additional floors in the buildings on Plot No. 1 from 12 to 14 floors
and in respect thereof the Housing Company was held liable for a
betterment levy or payment of betterment (hereinafter jointly: “the Specific Planning
Changes”), then: (1) the amount of the betterment or the betterment
levy that was paid by the Housing Company as was fixed according to law as
a consequence of the approval of the specific planning changes only
(whichever is the higher) or (2) an amount in a maximum sum of NIS
10,000,000 linked to the Upside Index (excluding V.A.T.) (hereinafter:
“the Betterment Tax
Ceiling”), whichever of (1) or (2) above is the lower (hereinafter:
“the Determining
Amount”), where same is divided by the sale areas, will be added
both to the Basic Price and to the Intermediate
Price.
|
34
For the
removal of doubt it is clarified that the aforesaid amount of NIS 10 million is
an upper limit, and that the Determining Amount as defined above (which will be
divided by the sale areas where the result of the division thereof by the sale
areas will be added to the Basic Price and to the Intermediate Price) will under
no circumstances exceed the Betterment Levy Ceiling.
For example
–
In a case
in which the Determining Amount stands at NIS 7,000,000 and the sale areas (of
all the apartments) stand at 50,000 sq.m., the following amount will be added
both to the Basic Price and to the Intermediate Price:
7,000,000
/ 50,000 = NIS 140.0
so that
the Basic Price will stand at NIS 15,657 and the Intermediate Price will stand
at NIS 16,519.
The
Housing Company undertakes to notify the Company, immediately after receiving a
demand from the local committee for payment of betterment or a betterment levy
in connection with any of the specific planning changes. After
receipt of such notice and if the Company so wishes, the Housing Company will
allow the Company to defend such demand for payment, including the exhausting of
objection and appeal rights according to law, all at the times prescribed by
law. The Housing Company declares that it is aware that the Company’s
position regarding a reduction of the average main area of the apartments as
aforesaid does not constitute grounds for a betterment levy being charged,
without this constituting a representation and/or promise on the part of the
Company. It is further clarified that nothing contained in the
provisions of this sub-clause shall constitute a representation and/or any
undertaking by the Company and/or the Municipality and/or anyone on their behalf
in relation to the approval of the specific planning changes.
For the
removal of doubt it is clarified that in every case in which the Determining
Amount as defined in this sub-clause above is lower than (a) the amount of
betterment or the betterment levy which was actually paid by the
Housing Company or (b) the amount of the Betterment Levy Ceiling, including in a
case in which the amount of the betterment or the betterment levy is reduced
after the actual payment thereof (such as – as a consequence of objection and
appeal proceedings), then the necessary adjustments and accounting will be made
as between the parties as a consequence of such reduction.

6.3.6
|
In
addition to the amounts mentioned in Clauses 6.3.2-6.3.3 (inclusive), the
Housing Company shall pay the Company, as part of the Additional
Consideration, an amount equivalent to one-half of the difference, if any,
between the selling price (including V.A.T.) in respect of a sale or
letting under leasehold or conferring of a right of use of any sort of a
parking place in the Purchaser’s Project that will be paid by any buyer of
an apartment or any third party (even if he is not a buyer of an
apartment) in respect of a parking place in the Purchaser’s Project
(excluding only a price that will be paid by any buyer of an apartment in
respect of a first parking place for an apartment) and a sum of NIS
100,000 (including V.A.T.) for each parking place (for the avoidance of
doubt it is clarified that this price is a consideration for all the
direct and indirect costs connected with the construction of parking
places as aforesaid, including and without derogating from the generality
of the foregoing, the envelope of the parking places, sprinklers, fire
extinguishing systems, planning and so forth, all until receipt of Form 4
in respect of the aforesaid parking places) (where same is linked to the
Upside Index commencing from the date of a sale agreement in respect of
the first apartment in the Purchaser’s Project between the Housing Company
and a third party and up to the time of any actual payment), where this is
multiplied by the Company’s share in the Additional
Consideration.
|
6.4
|
The
Additional Consideration will be calculated and paid at the following
times:
|
6.4.1
|
Interim

|
On

Housing Company and a buyer of an apartment, an interim accounting will be
done in relation to the Additional Consideration in respect of the
proceeds of the sales that have been received by the Purchaser in the
preceding quarter (hereinafter: “the Interim
Accounting”). The Interim Accounting will be carried out
with respect to each and every apartment the proceeds in respect of which
were paid in the preceding quarter in a manner whereby the average selling
price per sq.m. for each apartment will be determined on a basis of the
total proceeds of the sales which were received in respect thereof in the
preceding quarter (hereinafter: “Proceeds of the
Quarter”) where same is divided by “the partial sale
area”.
|
For
purposes of this sub-clause “the partial sale area” means:
the sale areas (as defined below) which are the subject of each apartment where
same are multiplied by the ratio between the Proceeds of the Quarter for the
apartment (without indexation differences in respect thereof) and the total
proceeds specified for the apartment in the relevant sale contract.
The
Company’s share in the Additional Consideration in accordance with the Interim
Accounting for each quarter will be paid to the Company within 14 days from the
date on which such accounting is conducted.

6.4.1.2
|
The
Interim Accounting in each quarter will be carried out on a cumulative
basis having regard to the proceeds, the sale areas which are the subject
of those proceeds and having regard to the Additional Consideration in
respect of the quarters which preceded it. It is hereby agreed
that only commencing from the date of payment of the full Basic
Consideration, to the extent that it becomes apparent at the time of
conducting any Interim Accounting that overpayments of the Additional
Consideration, on a cumulative basis, have been paid to the Company, the
Company will refund to the Housing Company the amounts that were overpaid
to it as aforesaid, where such amounts are linked to the Upside Index
commencing from the date of the last accounting and up to the date of the

In the
scope of the Final Accounting, the Additional Consideration that is due to the
Company will be calculated in relation to all the apartments in the Purchaser’s
Project on a basis of all the sale areas and all the proceeds of sales
(hereinafter: “the Final
Additional Consideration”).
If the
Final Additional Consideration should exceed the total amounts that are the
subject of the Additional Consideration that has been paid to the Company up to
such time, the balance will be paid to the Company, together with V.A.T.
according to law, within 14 days from the date of calculation of the Final
Accounting, where same is linked to the Upside Index from the date of the
accounting and up to the date of actual payment thereof to the
Company. As against that, if the payments that have been paid by the
Housing Company to the Company up to such time exceed the total Final Additional
Consideration, the Company will refund to the Housing Company the amounts that
were overpaid to it as aforesaid, where same are linked to the Upside Index from
the date of the last Interim Accounting and up to the date of the refund thereof
to the Housing Company, within 14 days from the date of calculation of the Final
Accounting.

instruct the financing bank to act in accordance with the instructions of
the arbiter as defined in sub-clause 6.7 below, in connection with the

with the results thereof money will simultaneously be transferred to the
Company out of the Proceeds Account in accordance with the instructions of
the aforesaid arbiter. In the event that the financing bank
refuses to act in accordance with such irrevocable instructions, other
collateral will be decided upon by the parties to secure payments of the
Additional Consideration, to the satisfaction of the
Company. The Housing Company undertakes that the Mall Company
will not be a partner and/or a holder of rights and/or a beneficiary in
the Proceeds Account, that the Proceeds Account will be specifically
earmarked solely for proceeds that will be received from the buyers of the
apartments, that all the proceeds that will be received from buyers of
apartments will be deposited solely in the Proceeds Account, and it
undertakes to include an appropriate provision in the sale agreements with
the buyers of the apartments. The Housing Company further

In
the event that the Purchaser does not perform the registrations described

acts of registration on the Purchaser’s account, after thirty (30) days
from the date of the demand.
|
The
Purchaser undertakes to pay the Municipality, within ten (10) days from the date

The
validity of this Agreement is contingent upon and subject to receiving the
approval of the Minister of the Interior as stated in Clause 12 of the

precedent set forth in Clause 12 of the Municipality Lands Agreement is
not fulfilled (hereinbefore and hereinafter: “the Condition Precedent to the

this Agreement will be null and void ab initio, the Trustee
shall return the First Payment to the Purchaser together with the fruits
thereof and less the costs of opening the Trust Account, the costs of the
closing thereof and of performing operations therein and none of the
parties will have any claim and/or demand and/or allegation against
another in this regard, and the Purchaser will have no rights of
whatsoever nature in the Company’s
Lands.
|
It is
agreed that each party will be entitled, in its sole and absolute discretion, to
extend the Effective Date, for a period of up to 60 additional days by way of
written notice to the other party.
10.3
|
Within
2 business days from the date of actual transfer of the First Payment from
the Trustee to the Company, the parties will meet and will act in the
manner stated in sub-clause 10.4 below (hereinbefore and hereinafter:

On
the Date of Delivery of the Right of Use, the parties will simultaneously
perform the following actions:
|
10.4.1
|
The
Company will deliver to the Purchaser a temporary right of use (which is
not a proprietary right) in the Company’s Lands in accordance with the
provisions of Clause 10.5 below. If the provisions of this
Agreement have not been cancelled, such temporary right of use will remain
in force up to the date of delivery of
possession.
|
10.4.2
|
The
Purchaser shall assume all the obligations which form part of the
Obligations and Commitments Transferred. For the removal of
doubt it is clarified that the rights which form part of the Obligations
and Commitments Transferred will be assigned to the Purchaser only from
the date of delivery of possession. In relation to the

Agreement.
|
10.5
|
The
right of use
|
10.5.1
|
The
right of use granted to the Purchaser on the Date of Delivery of the Right
of Use is a revocable right, for purposes of performing excavation and
shoring works and for that purpose alone. For the avoidance of
doubt it is clarified and emphasized that the permission granted to the
Purchaser as aforesaid does not constitute the grant of a proprietary
right to the Purchaser, possession to the Purchaser or a transfer of any
right to the Purchaser, apart from the permission to perform the
excavation and shoring works. The Purchaser will be a licensee
in respect of that portion of the Company’s Lands which the Purchaser uses
for purposes of performing the excavation and shoring works as a licensee
only. The Company will be entitled at any time, by way of prior
written notice of 14 business days to cancel the right of use, in any
event in which the Company believes in its sole and absolute discretion
that the Purchaser has breached any of its obligations under this
Agreement and has not rectified the breach within 14 business days from
the date on which written notice regarding the breach was received by
it.
|
52
10.5.2
|
The
Purchaser will have no right of lien over the Company’s Lands or any
portion thereof.
|
10.5.3
|
During
the period in which a right of use is granted to the Purchaser, the
Purchaser will be entitled to fence-in the Company’s Lands or any portion
thereof and/or to station a portable and temporary structure on the
Company’s Lands that will serve as a sales office, subject to obtaining
all the permits and approvals required according to law, all without
adding rights of way for the Purchaser in its capacity as a licensee and
without derogating from the powers and rights of the Company and the
Municipality with regard to the right of use
period.
|
10.5.4
|
Where
the Company has notified the Purchaser of cancellation of the right of use
as aforesaid and the Purchaser has not cured the breach within the time
specified in sub-clause 10.5.1 above, the Purchaser undertakes to vacate
the Company’s Lands of any person and/or article and/or temporary
structure, and commencing from the date on which the notice is given, the
Company will be entitled to evict the Purchaser and/or anyone on its
behalf from the Company’s Lands and to evacuate any person and article
and/or temporary structure from the Company’s Lands, and to use all the
materials, equipment and installations the Purchaser and/or anyone on its
behalf has left on the Company’s Lands. It is further agreed
that in a case in which, in addition to cancellation of the right of use,
the Company has cancelled this Agreement as a consequence of such breach,
all the works that were performed on the Company’s Lands up to that time
will be the sole property of the Company, without the Purchaser having any
allegation and/or claim and/or demand against the Company in respect
thereof, and the Purchaser undertakes to include an appropriate clause in
the contractual agreement with the executing contractors, as defined
below. In addition to all the foregoing and without derogating
therefrom, the Purchaser hereby empowers the Company to take all the steps
and measures required for purposes of realizing the rights and powers of
the Company under this Clause 10.5. For that purpose the
Purchaser is lodging an irrevocable notarial power of attorney in the text
attached to this Agreement as Appendix
10.5.4 with the Trustee at the time of signing of this Agreement,
which empowers the Company to take all the actions required for purposes
of evicting the Purchaser and/or anyone on its behalf from the Company’s
Lands and for purposes of realizing the Company’s rights under this Clause
10.5, including vacating the Company’s Lands of any person, article and
temporary structure, use of all the materials, equipment and installations
which the Purchaser and/or anyone on its behalf has left on the Company’s
Lands, the giving of instructions and directives to the executing
contractors, the transfer into the Company’s ownership of all the works
that have been performed on the Company’s Lands up to that time, the
giving of notices and instructions and the signing of any document of
whatsoever nature vis-à-vis third parties
and authorities in connection with the vacating of the Company’s Lands
and/or the taking of any actions with respect thereto, and so
forth. In every case in which the Company notifies the Trustee
that the right of use has been cancelled by it, the Trustee shall, after
the giving of a warning notice to the Purchaser of 14 business days in
advance, transfer the power of attorney to the Company, and the Company
will be entitled to make use thereof in its discretion for purposes of
realizing its rights as described
above.
|
53
The
Purchaser undertakes that the Company and/or anyone on its behalf will not be
responsible in any way for any damage of any sort that may be sustained by the
Purchaser, if such damage is sustained, by virtue actions connected with
evicting the Purchaser from the Company’s Lands and/or the evacuation of the
equipment and the property from the Company’s Lands and the storing
thereof.
For the
removal of doubt it is emphasized that the Company will bear no responsibility
in respect of the property and the equipment which is removed and it will not be
deemed to be a bailee and/or a trustee in respect thereof.
10.5.5
|
The
Purchaser undertakes that the Company and the Municipality will be a party
to any contractual arrangement between the Purchaser and executing
contractors who perform work for it on the Company’s Lands during the
right of use period (hereinafter: “the Executing
Contractors”), without this imposing on the Company and/or the
Municipality any liability and/or responsibility. In the scope
of any such contractual arrangement, an undertaking of the Executing
Contractors shall be included, directly as against the Company and the
Municipality, to the effect that in any event in which they receive a
notice from the Company and the Municipality that the Company and the
Municipality have lawfully, in their discretion, cancelled the right of
use they have granted to the Purchaser, then as from the date of receipt
of the notice onwards, the Executing Contractors will act solely in
accordance with the instructions of the Company and the Municipality as
will be given at that time. The Company and the Municipality
will be entitled to elect whether to complete the works of the Executing
Contractors through the Executing Contractors or to evict them from the
Company’s Lands without the Company and/or the Municipality owing them any
indebtedness of whatsoever nature. The Purchaser undertakes to
present for the prior written approval of the Company and the Municipality
the identity of the Executing Contractors and the terms and conditions of
the contractual arrangement with them (including the text of the
contractual agreement).
