For the avoidance of doubt, the obtainment of the Landlord’s approval to the Finishing Works does not impose any liability on the Landlord in connection with any aspect related to these works and/or does not derogate from the Tenant’s liability for the Finishing Works. | ||||||||
B. | For the purpose of performing the Finishing Works, the Tenant will be authorized to enter the Premises in the capacity of a licensee only, and for the object of executing the Finishing Works alone (hereinafter – the “Authorization”) and subject to furnishing the collateral as stipulated in sub-clause 5(c)(7) below and to taking out the insurances as stated in the Insurance Appendix. | |||||||

In this clause, “contractor” means a contractor who performs works on the Premises and/or a supplier who has supplied materials and/or appurtenances which were used in the Finishing Works, but not consultants and/or planners and/or a supervisor. | ||||||||
“Finishing Works” are construction works and/or the installation of systems and/or any other improvement to or direct investment in the structure of the Premises. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby clarified that the Landlord’s Participation Sum shall be used solely for the purpose of executing the Finishing Works on |
- 8 -
the Premises and shall not be used to finance the purchase of equipment and/or items which do not come within the definition of fixtures such as furniture, wall closets and counters. | ||||||||

4) | It is clarified that if the actual amount of the Landlord’s Participation Sum shall be less than the Landlord’s Participation Sum as defined in sub-clause (1) above, then the Rental Fees shall be decreased by an amount equivalent to NIS 1 plus VAT per gross square meter per month for every NIS 86 which have been deducted from the Landlord’s Participation Sum. | |||||||
5) | It is agreed that in the event that the lease is terminated for any reason prior to the conclusion of the Second Rental Period, the |
- 9 -
Tenant shall be obligated to reimburse the Landlord, within 30 days of the date on which the lease is terminated, the balance of the Landlord’s Participation Sum in the Finishing Works which has not been paid by that date, according to the following calculation: the total sum of the Landlord’s Participation, divided by 90 and multiplied by (90 minus the number of months of the lease that have passed until the termination date of the lease) minus an annual rate of interest of 5.5% of the unrepaid Landlord Participation calculated from the termination date of the lease until the completion of 7.5 years from the commencement of the Rental Period (hereinafter “Balance of the Repayment Amount”). | ||||||||
For the avoidance of doubt, none of the foregoing provisions shall detract or derogate from any relief and/or remedy available to the Landlord against the Tenant in the event of a breach of the Agreement by the Tenant. | ||||||||
It is hereby clarified that the Tenant shall not be obligated to reimburse the Landlord for the Landlord’s Participation Sum in the event that the lease is terminated on account of a breach of the Agreement by the Landlord. | ||||||||
6) | The Tenant’s undertaking to reimburse the Landlord’s Participation Sum shall end on the termination of the Second Rental Period. Therefore, if the Tenant has exercised the option afforded to it and extended the lease for the Second or the Second and Third Rental Periods, it will not need to reimburse the Landlord for any amount in connection with the Landlord’s Participation Sum, provided that the Rental Period shall not end prior to the termination date of the Second Rental Period, as aforesaid. | |||||||
7) | It is further hereby clarified that in the event that the Tenant does not exercise the option accorded to it according to this contract to extend the lease for a Third Rental Period, in which case the lease will terminate at the end of the Second Rental Period, then the |
- 10 -
Tenant will not have to pay the Landlord any amount in respect to the Landlord’s Participation Sum on account of the non-extension of the lease for the Third Rental Period, and on the date of completing the Second Rental Period the Landlord’s Works Guarantee shall be voided. At the same time, and for the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby clarified that should the Tenant decide to exercise the Third Rental Period (the second option), then the Rental Fees shall not be decreased in the Third Rental Period, but they too shall be increased to the level stipulated in clause 7(B)(2) below. | ||||||||
8) | As security for the Landlord’s Participation Sum pursuant to the provisions of this clause, the Tenant will furnish the Landlord with an independent and autonomous financial bank guarantee, in an amount equal to half (50%) of the Landlord’s Participation Sum issued in favor of the Landlord and which shall not be assignable and/or chargeable to any third party save for a charge to a recognized financial institution in Israel. This guarantee shall be reduced at the rate of 3.33% every quarter (hereinafter – the “Finishing Works’ Guarantee”). | |||||||
The Finishing Works’ Guarantee in an amount estimated in respect to the Landlord’s Participation Sum shall be furnished by the Tenant on the commencement of undertaking the Finishing Works. On the completion of the Finishing Works, the level of the Finishing Works’ Guarantee will be updated (increased or reduced, as applicable) according to the actual amount of the Landlord’s Participation Sum. | ||||||||
The Landlord shall be entitled to realize the Finishing Works’ Guarantee, or part thereof depending on the circumstances, in any event in which the Tenant breaches its undertaking to reimburse the Landlord’s Participation Sum according to sub clause (5) above and the breach is not cured within 21 days of the date of receiving a written warning from the Landlord. |
- 11 -
The Finishing Works’ Guarantee shall remain in force for one year and the Tenant undertakes to extend the validity of the Guarantee from time to time, until the expiry of 30 days from the termination of the First or Second Rental Period as applicable. | ||||||||
The Tenant shall furnish the Landlord from time to time with confirmation regarding the extension of the validity of the Finishing Works’ Guarantee as stated above. | ||||||||
In the event that the Tenant does not extend the validity of the Finishing Works’ Guarantee as detailed above, the Landlord shall be entitled to forfeit and/or offset the amount of the Guarantee after giving the Tenant advance notification of its intention to do so, save where such notification is impossible or unreasonable in the circumstances. In this case, the sum shall be placed on deposit until the furnishing of a new bank guarantee. | ||||||||
In so far as this is possible, the Finishing Works’ Guarantee shall be issued with a validity period of 5 years, which shall be automatically reduced each quarter by 3.33%. | ||||||||
In the event that the Tenant exercises the option for the Second Rental Period, the validity of the said diminishing Guarantee shall be extended for an additional 2.5 years. | ||||||||
The Landlord shall return the Finishing Works’ Guarantee or the balance of the Guarantee, following setoff or forfeit as aforesaid, to the Tenant within 30 days after vacating the Premises, whether at the completion of the First or Second Rental Period, i.e. at the completion of 7.5 years from the Rental Commencement Date as applicable, subject to reimbursement in full of the Landlord’s Participation Sum pursuant to the provisions of clause 5(C) herein. | ||||||||
9) | The Finishing Works’ Guarantee shall be deposited with the Landlord’s attorneys, X. Xxxxxxxx & Co. Law Offices (hereinafter – the “Trustee”), who shall be entitled to transfer it to the Landlord only if they are convinced that the Tenant has |
- 12 -
breached its undertaking to pay the balance of the Landlord’s Participation Sum pursuant to the provisions of this foregoing clause 5(C) and has not cured the breach within 21 days of the date it was requested to do so by the Landlord, or depending on the case – has not extended the validity of the Finishing Works’ Guarantee according to this contract subject to the provisions of clause 5(C)(8) whereby the Landlord will give the Tenant an advance notification of its intention to do so. Furthermore, the Trustee will be authorized to carry out actions in order to extend the Finishing Works’ Guarantee. | ||||||||
The Finishing Works’ Guarantee shall remain in escrow with the Trustee also in the event that it is mortgaged in favor of a financial institution as stated in sub-clause (7) of this foregoing clause. | ||||||||
D. | The provision of the collaterals pursuant to this clause shall not derogate from any of the Tenant’s undertakings according to this contract and/or shall not constitute a waiver of any of its entitlements pursuant to this contract, including any relief accorded to it pursuant to this contract and the law. | |||||||
E. | The Tenant shall assume liability, according to law for any damage to person and/or property of any sort caused to any person and/or the Premises and/or their contents in consequence of and/or in connection with the Finishing Works, including in respect to damages that were caused and/or which occurred on account of a negligent act and/or omission by the Tenant and/or any of its agents. | |||||||

G. | The Tenant affirms and undertakes that the Finishing Works which shall be performed by it on the Premises shall be of a high standard which befits the character of the Building as a modern building.

H. | In the event that the Finishing Works approved by the Landlord as aforesaid shall require changes to the outer shell of the Premises and/or to the works completed by the Landlord prior to the signing of this contract, together with the appendices thereto, which necessitate a postponement of the Rental Period Commencement Date and/or additional expenses, then these expenses will be paid in full by the Tenant. | |||||||
It is hereby emphasized that in the event that the Tenant is unable to perform the Finishing Works according to the conventional standards as a result of works performed by the Landlord on the Building, the Landlord undertakes to rectify such works, at its own expense in a manner which will not cause a delay to the Tenant in completing the Tenant’s Finishing Works. |
