(f)
It is also agreed that with respect to the leasing of the two additional double parking spaces (as described in section 4(a) above), the Lessee will pay to the Lessor any rental payments, management fees and all other payments imposed on the Lessee with regard to the leasing of parking spaces pursuant to the agreements– in full and in a timely manner.

5.
In order to remove doubt, it is hereby noted that the Lessee has exercised in full any right of [first] refusal and/or option to rent Additional Areas and/or parking spaces which were granted to it pursuant to the agreements, and that the Lessee has no additional right of first refusal or option for the rental of any Additional Areas whatsoever and/or of any additional parking spaces whatsoever in the building.

6.
The parties hereby agree regarding the Lessee’s having exercised the first extension period, as provided in the amendment and supplemental agreement, such that the leasing of the entire leased premises will be extended for a period commencing on December 16, 2008 and concluding on December 15, 2010 (hereinafter: “the First Extension Period.”)

 
 

 

 
During the first extension period, the Lessee will pay to the Lessor the rental payments in accordance with all provisions of the agreements and of this agreement (hereinafter, together: “the Lease Agreement”) and any other payments imposed on the Lessee pursuant to the lease agreement in connection with the leasing of the leased premises, including maintenance fees, municipal property taxes and electricity.

It is also hereby noted that beginning on January 1, 2009, the invoice that the Lessor will issue to the Lessee with regard to the payment of the rental payments will consolidate the account for the 1,669 square meters (gross) of the leased premises’ area – i.e., the account for the leased premises’ area excluding the Machinery Area, the Storeroom Area, and the Gallery Area in the leased premises.

8.
The other provisions of the agreements remain unchanged.  The parties expressly agree that during the current lease period and the first extension period, the agreements and all of their provisions will continue to apply to the parties and to the leasing of the leased premises, with the necessary changes, and subject to all the terms and provisions of this agreement.
