10.6 | Furthermore, and without derogating from the generality of the aforementioned, the Lessor undertakes to provide the Lessee with a “Four Form” [a form attesting to completion of the building] for the Leased Premises. However, it is hereby clarified and agreed that it is possible that a “Four Form” will not be available for the Leased Premises at the actual Delivery Date of Possession of the Leased Premises. The non-issuance of the “Four Form” for the Leased Premises thirty days after the Delivery Date of Possession of the Leased Premises shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement. However, if the “Four Form” is not issued by the actual Delivery Date of Possession of the Leased Premises, the Lessor undertakes to ensure that |
- 19 -
the Leased Premises will be fit for reasonable use for the Purposes of the Lease; that there will be no reason preventing the insuring of the Leased Premises and connecting it to the telephone network; and ensuring that it will have electricity, water, sewerage and elevators, enabling reasonable operation of the Leased Premises. The Lessor will be liable for any damage and expense incurred by the Lessee on account of the non-issuance of the “Four Form” by the actual Delivery Date of Possession and shall indemnify the Lessee for its expenses and damages as stated, provided that the Lessee has notified the Lessor, in writing, of any claim and/or demand and/or suit received by it in relation thereto immediately upon receiving such and that it shall enable the Lessor to defend itself against such claims. It is hereby clarified that in the event where the Lessee is prevented from making use of the Leased Premises for the Purposes of the Lease on account of the absence of the “Four Form”, the Delivery Date shall be postponed until the issuance of the “Four Form”. |
11. | Delivery of Possession of the Leased Premises – Examination of the Suitability of the Leased Premises: |
11.1 | Subject to the fulfillment of the Lessee’s obligations under this Agreement, the Lessor undertakes to execute, itself and/or through contractors on its behalf, general development work on the Project so that by the Delivery Date of Possession of the Leased Premises reasonable use can effectively be made of the Leased Premises; there will be reasonable and convenient access to the Plot; and the Leased Premises and the Parking Lots serving the Leased Premises will be fit for reasonable use. |

- 20 -
examination before taking the relevant stage of the Leased Premises. At the preliminary examination date, as coordinated between the Lessee and the Lessor, the Lessee shall examine the Leased Premises in the presence of the Lessor’s Representative. The aforementioned preliminary examination shall be summarized in a report, which shall include all the Lessor’s comments regarding the repairs or finishing needed in order to adapt the Work in the Leased Premises to the provisions of this Agreement and all the appendices thereto (hereinafter: “the Examination Report”).

11.5 | Upon completion of repairs by the Lessor for all the faults, a protocol will immediately be drawn up for the receiving of the relevant part of the Leased Premises with the participation of the Lessee’s Representative and the Lessor’s Representative. |
11.6 | The date at which the protocol for receiving the part of the Leased Premises is drawn up shall be deemed as the actual date of receiving that part of the Leased Premises and the completion of the Work with respect to that part of the Leased Premises unless the Lessor’s Representative has prescribed another date. |
11.7 | Notwithstanding the aforementioned, in the event repairs are required which, in the opinion of the Lessor’s Representative, are minor or not |
- 21 -
essential in connection with the Work and which do not prevent the reasonable use of the Leased Premises for the Purpose of the Lease, the Lessor’s Representative may order the drawing up of a protocol for the receiving of part A / and/or part B / of the Leased Premises, despite the non-completion of those repairs provided that it shall not derogate from the Lessor’s liability regarding the execution of the said repairs. For the removal of doubt it is clarified that in the event of a difference of opinion with respect to that stipulated in this Section, Section 36 below shall apply. |
11.8 | The Lessor undertakes to enable the Lessee to sign contracts with Bezeq – the Israel Telecommunications Company Limited (hereinafter: “Bezeq”) or with any other entity for the supply of communication services in the Project (hereinafter jointly: “Service Providers”) – where such signature is required for the providing of supplies and communications services to the Leased Premises by the Service Providers – at least one month prior to the Delivery Date of Possession in the Leased Premises. Nothing in the aforesaid shall derogate from the Lessor’s liability to ensure the Building’s connection, at its own expense, to the electricity network, sewerage and water network, for the execution of all infrastructures for connecting the Building to the telephone network, all in accordance with the demands of the various Service Providers. |
11.9 | The Lessee shall bear the costs and deposits associated with the installation of telephone lines in the Leased Premises by means of carrying out those payments/deposits to the aforementioned Service Providers in such manner so as not to delay the completion of the Work with respect of the Leased Premises. |

and subject to the following conditions precedent being met, in the aggregate: |

14.1 | In consideration for renting the Leased Premises, the subject of this Agreement, the Lessee undertakes to pay the Lessor rental fees as follows: |
An amount in NIS equal to US$6.85 (Six Dollars and Eighty Five Cents) per square meter of built-up space in the Leased Premises, save
- 25 -
for the basement area, for each rental month during the Lease Term, in addition to an amount in NIS equal to US$4.5 per square meter of the basement’s built-up space in the Leased Premises, for each rental month during the Lease Term, in other words, basic monthly rental fees amounting to US$13,568 (hereinabove and hereinbelow: “Basic Rental Fees”), in addition to an amount in N.I.S. equal to US$50 (Fifty US Dollars) for every underground parking space and an amount in NIS equal to US$30 (Thirty US Dollars) for every upper parking space for each rental month, in other words, monthly rental fees for parking in the amount of US$1,490.

For the cost of the Final Work to the Leased Premises borne by the Lessor up to an amount of US$350 per square meter, the Lessee shall pay rental fees in the amount equal to 1% of the cost of the Final Work.

Furthermore, for the additional cost of the Final Work to the Leased Premises up to an amount of an additional US$200 per square meter (beyond the cost of the US$350 per square meter), the Lessee shall pay rental fees in the amount equal to 1.15% of the additional cost. On the presumption that the cost of the Final Work shall comprise the full allotment, that is to say another US$200 x 2,094 square meters = US$481,800, the Lessee shall pay Additional Rental Fees in the amount of US$2.3 per square meter and in total an additional amount of US$4,816 per month. And in total, the Additional Rental Fees on the presumption that the cost of the Final Work shall comprise the full allotment shall amount to US$12,145.
- 26 -
In other words, the total amount of the comprehensive monthly rental fees is US$27,203. For the removal of doubt it is hereby clarified that the rental fees have been calculated on the basis of the cost of the Final Work at full allotment, viz., US$1,151,700. However, it is hereby clarified that the actual rental fees shall be revised in accordance with the relative share of the allotment in respect of the actual cost invested by the Lessor in the Final Work. It is agreed upon by the Parties that rental fees shall be paid for 2,094 square meters.
Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the Lessee shall be entitled to a discount on the monthly rental fees in the amount of US$575 (840 square meters multiplied by US$6.85 multiplied by 10%) during the first nine months of the Lease.

14.3 | Linkage differentials to the Index shall be added to the rental fees as provided by Section 1.23 above and lawful VAT. |
14.4 | It is hereby clarified that in the event that the Date of Transferring Possession in the Leased Premises is postponed for reasons associated with the Lessee and/or by anyone on its behalf, rental fees shall be paid by the Lessee to the Lessor as of the Date of Transferring Possession in the Leased Premises as such term is defined in Section 10.1 above. |
- 27 -
14.5 | In the event that the Lessee shall ask to rent from the Lessor additional parking spaces in the Building and the Lessor shall have parking spaces available for rent in the Building then the Lessee shall be entitled to rent them on the terms (including rental fees) set out in this Agreement. |

omissions of the Lessee and/or any party on its behalf, and that the Lessee or any party on its behalf did not carry out any work whatsoever in that part of the Leased Premises where the said special damages were discovered (hereinafter: “the Special Damages”). |
15.3 | It is agreed that the Lessor shall be liable for the repair of the Special Damages, at its expense, within the shortest time, considering the circumstances and the damages involved, and shall do so from the time at which the Lessee has notified it in writing about the occurrence of the Special Damages and subject to the Lessee cooperating with it as required in the circumstances of the matter. |

15.6 | The Lessor may enter into the Leased Premises for the purpose of fulfilling the said right in this Section; however, it may only do so after initially arranging the matter with the Lessee. |

To the extent that such is dependant upon the Lessor, it shall enable the Lessee to defend itself against such demands pursuant to any law.

- 30 -
to that state in which the Lessee received the Leased Premises from the Lessor. |
15.10 | For the removal of doubt it is hereby clarified that the Lessor does not undertake to repair indirect damages caused to the Lessee due to faults discovered in the Leased Premises and/or as a result of repairs.
