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.

The refusal or unwillingness of the Tenant to receive any Service whatsoever and/or the Tenant’s desire to terminate the management and execution of the Services vis-à-vis the Leased Premises, wholly or partially, shall not exempt the Tenant from its obligation to participate in all the expenses and the Building Management Fees in accordance with the terms of this agreement.
