The Lessee hereby further declares that the Lessor has not furnished it with any description of the Industrial Compound and/or the Building and/or the Premises, and that it is associating in this rental agreement on the basis of its own inspections and impressions, and hereby waives, expressly and in advance, any claim regarding unsuitability, and, subject to the content of this agreement, any other claim of any type and kind relating to the Industrial Compound and/or the Building and/or the Premises, the possible uses thereof, and its association in this agreement, excepting a concealed defect that cannot be discovered in a reasonable and usual examination.

The Lessee shall ensure association (at its expense) with a qualified body for the purpose of obtaining maintenance and repair services for the airconditioning system and the firefighting system as stated.

3.4
The Premises shall be delivered to the Lessee in proper condition for the Lessee’s purposes, in accordance with the procedure for delivery agreed by the Parties and attached thereby as Appendix B-2 below.

3.5
Implementation of the works for the adaptation of the Premises to the Lessee’s needs, and the attention to the Implementation Plans, shall be as follows:
3.5.1
On July 1, 2001 (“the Date of Delivery of the Plans”), the Lessee forwarded that part of the Implementation Plans for which it is responsible, in writing, for the authorization of the Lessor and/or the project manager, including specifications and statements of quantities. Upon receipt of these plans by the Lessor, the latter forwarded these to the various consultants appointed thereby for the Lessee (airconditioning consultant, electric consultant, safety consultant, and plumbing consultant), and ensured that these written plans for the implementation of the works would be forwarded for the authorization of the Lessee, the Lessor, and the project manager by July 10, 2001, and that these would discuss and (insofar as required) amend the plans. On the authorization of the plans by the Lessee, the Lessor, and the project manager, authorized Implementation Plans, including specifications and statements of quantities for each work, shall be presented by the various consultants to the project manager and/or the Lessor, by July 19, 2001.
 

 
3.5.2
Within ten (10) days from the authorization of the Implementation Plans (but not later than July 29, 2001), tenders shall be issued for the execution of the necessary works. Estimates on behalf of various executors and/or contractors that shall be submitted relating to the execution of the works that are the subject of the Authorized Implementation Plans shall be forwarded to the Lessee in advance (by Tuesday, August 7, 2001), and shall, in any case, be authorized not later than seven (7) business days after their receipt (August 14, 2001). Without derogating from the above, it is agreed that, insofar as no comments are received on behalf of the Lessee regarding the estimates that shall be forwarded to its notification, within three (3) days from the date of transfer thereto, this shall be considered tantamount to the Lessee’s agreement to the execution of the specific work at the price stated in the estimate forwarded for its review, and the Lessee shall be prevented from making any claim regarding the price of execution and the identity of the executor.

3.5.3
The Lessor undertakes that the Lessee shall receive the Premises when these are ready for the Lessee’s activities in the Premises, according to the Authorized Implementation Plans, and in accordance with the purpose of the rental, not later than October 16, 2001. The actual date of receipt of the Premises shall be referred to above and below as “the Actual Date of Delivery of Possession.” It is hereby agreed by the Parties that a delay of one week in the Actual Date of Delivery of Possession, viz. through October 23, 2001, shall not constitute a breach of this agreement by the Lessor.
As of September 1, 2001, the Lessee shall be enabled to enter the Premises for the purpose of preparing these for its needs, all at the Lessee’s expense and liability, provided that this is possible, in the Lessor’s opinion, and in coordination with the Lessor’s project manager.
 


3.5.4
Notwithstanding the above, it is emphasized that any changes required to the Authorized Implementation Plans (as defined in the Preamble to this agreement) are liable to cause a delay (relatively) in the Date of Delivery of Possession. The Lessee shall be required, in the said case, to pay rental fee even for the period of the delay caused due to changes requested by the Lessee after the authorization of the Implementation Plans, provided that the delay was not caused by the Lessor, or due to delays in the renovation works themselves not under the Lessee’s control.
It is clarified and emphasized that the entire content of the sub-sections of Section 3.5 above is conditioned and subject to full, precise, and prompt compliance with the Lessee’s obligations relating to the specifications, the authorization of the Implementation Plans, and other assistance as shall be required thereof in connection with the execution of the works that are the subject of the Authorized Implementation Plans.

3.5.5
To prevent doubt, it is hereby clarified that the Lessee shall not be liable for any damage caused to the Premises during the period of adaptation of the Premises to its needs, insofar as these works were not executed by it, as stated at the end of Section 3.5.3, and, in any case, it does not have any employer-employee relations with those engaged in the work of adapting the Premises to its needs.

6.4
The sums detailed in Sections 6.1.1 through 6.1.3 shall be converted in accordance with the representative exchange rate of the Dollar as of May 9, 2001 (NIS 4.145 to one dollar), and shall be linked to changes in the Index, so that in each payment occurring in accordance with this agreement, the due Rental Fee shall be readjusted in accordance with the rate of change in the Index, and the adjusted Rental Fee shall, at that time, and for every matter and purpose, be considered the Basic Rental Fee in the framework of this agreement.

120 days prior to the end of the Rental Period, and subject to the content of Section 4 above, the Parties shall appoint a qualified assessor to determine the Rental Fee from September 1, 2006 through August 31, 2009 (in this section - “the Rental Fee in the Additional Period.”) In the event of disagreements regarding the identity of the assessor that shall not be resolved within 15 days from May 1, 2006 (“the Appointment Date,”) each Party shall appoint a assessor on its behalf who shall act in accordance with the content below.

7.2
The Parties (jointly or severally, as the case may be) shall instruct the assessor to offer an opinion on the determining of the Updated Rental Fee, and shall cause the said opinion to be presented not later than 30 days after the Appointment Date.

7.3
The Parties (jointly or severally, as the case may be) shall instruct the assessor to base his opinion on the rental fees current at that time in similar premises (in area, location, environmental conditions, and the internal and external quality of the building, including any improvements made by the Lessee, but excluding improvements that are tantamount to chattel and which the Lessee is entitled to take at the end of the Rental Period in accordance with the provisions of this agreement) situated in the same area and serving similar purposes as those served by the Building, subject to all adjustments as shall be required, in accordance with the content of Section 7.5 below.


 
7.4
If the Rental Fee determined in the opinion of the assessor appointed by the Lessor shall be higher than the Rental Fee determined in the opinion of the assessor appointed by the Lessee in a rate of up to 10%, then the Updated Rental Fee shall be set to the amount determined by the assessor appointed by the Lessor, less half the difference between this amount and the amount of Rental Fee determined by the assessor appointed by the Lessee (for example, if the Lessor’s assessor determined USD 30 and the Lessee’s assessor determined USD 27, the Updated Rental Fee shall be USD 28.50). If the said difference is greater than the proportion of ten percent (10%) as stated, the two assessors shall then be required, not later than 15 days from the date on which the latter of the two furnished its opinion as stated above, to decide on a third assessor who shall determine the Updated Rental Fee, subject to all the provisions relating to this matter in this agreement, and the opinion of this assessor, which shall be delivered not later than 30 days after the two said assessors have contacted him as stated above, shall be final and binding for this matter.
If either Party shall refrain from performing its obligations in accordance with this Section 7 (including its sub-sections), then, in addition to the provisions of any law, this action or fault shall be considered as consent to the charging and determination of the Updated Rental Fee in accordance with the determination of the Party observing this agreement.

7.5
The Parties agree that, in any case, the Rental Fee in the Additional Period shall not be lower than the Updated Rental Fee as current at the time of granting of the opinion of the assessor/s as relevant to this matter.


 
7.6
The Rental Fee in the Additional Period as determined in accordance with the content above and as introduced and applied as of September 1, 2006, shall be linked to the Index, provided that the Base Index constituting the Index for the determining of the Updated Rental Fee shall be that Base Index known at the time of the granting of the opinion in accordance with which the Rental Fee shall be determined for the Additional Period, in accordance with the content above.

7.7
Expenses for an agreed assessor appointed by both Parties shall be borne by the Parties, in equal parts. Each Party shall bear the expenses of the assessor appointed by it alone (if any). Expenses of the assessor appointed by the Parties, in accordance with the content of Section 7.4 above, shall be borne by the Parties in equal parts.

The Lessor shall pay, directly to the Electric Company, the charges received for the use made by the Lessee of the electric grid. Without derogating from the above, insofar as the electric meters shall not be in the Lessee’s name or shall not reflect the use made of the electric grid, the Lessor shall pay the said charges for the Lessee and shall charge the Lessee for their said use (in accordance with the display on the said meters), once a Quarter, in accordance with the current tariff of the Electric Company, and the collection shall be effected by means of the “standing order” (subject to the content of Section 6.5 above).
If, at any time, the Electric Company shall decide to connect the Lessee directly to the electric grid, and shall request this of the Lessor or of the Lessee, as the case may be, then the Lessee undertakes to take all actions as shall be required thereof in this context; to make all the payments required in this matter to the Electric Company, and to release the Lessor from any liability in connection with the charges for the consumption of electricity and/or the connection to the electric grid, which shall be borne by it as stated. The Lessee undertakes not to contact the Electric Company and request the connection of the Premises directly to the electric grid.
Notwithstanding the above, the Parties hereby agree that the direct expenses for the direct connection of the Premises to the Electric Company, if any, shall be divided between the Parties in equal parts.
 
8.3
An appropriate proportionate part of the insurance expenses and fees as these shall be calculated by the Lessor, and as paid thereby, for the insurance of the Building of which the Premises form an integral part, and of the systems thereof (when the insurance does not include the contents of the Premises and the repair thereof, changes and additions to the Premises made by and/or for the Lessee), against loss or damage due to fire risks, explosion, earthquake, storm and hurricane, flood and water damage, strikes and malicious damage, and against any additional risk required in the Lessor’s opinion.


 
8.4

8.5
Subject to the Lessor’s right not to rebuild a building or a part of a building damaged beyond repair, it is hereby agreed that if damage covered by the insurance as stated in this section above is caused, the insurance payments received from the insurer shall be used to repair the damages on account of which the insurance payments as stated shall be made.

8.6
Payments for maintenance services as detailed in Section 16 below.

8.7
Insofar as any of the amounts the Lessee shall be liable to pay to the Lessor in accordance with Section 8 above shall be based on an account relating to the Industrial Compound and/or the Building of which the Premises form an integral part, the Lessee shall pay the Lessor an appropriate relative part of the total amount of the account, provided that, for the purpose of calculating the Lessee’s proportional part in the said payments, the relationship between the area of the Premises and the total area of the Industrial Compound, and/or of the Building of which the Premises for an integral part, as the case may be, shall be taken into account, without reference to the extent to which these are occupied by other tenants.
 

Part Five: Lessee’s Obligations

9.1
The Lessee hereby undertakes to comply with all laws, regulations, and by-laws applying and/or which shall apply to the Premises, to the use thereof, and to the Lessee’s business in accordance with the purpose of the rental (Section 2 above) during the Rental Period, regarding all works and actions that shall be undertaken by the Lessee in the Premises.


 
 
The Lessee hereby undertakes to receive a business license from the local authority for the management of its business and operations in the Premises, and to comply with all the conditions of the said license for the entire duration of the Rental Period.

The Lessee hereby further undertakes not to place equipment of any type outside the internal area of the Premises, including the removal of merchandise and such like, and to pay strict attention to the collection of waste and boxes.

9.3
The Lessee hereby undertakes not to discharge into the sewage system, and not to cause to be discharged therein, waste that is not suitable in its profile to the instructions of the Ministry of Health and the local authority and to the provisions of any law.
