6.3.1
The terms mentioned in this Clause 6.3 and all the sub-clauses hereof will have the meaning ascribed to them in Clause 6.7.1 below.

6.3.2
If the average selling price per sq.m. should exceed NIS 15,517 (excluding V.A.T.) linked to the upside index as stated in Clause 6.3.4 below (hereinafter: “the Basic Price”), but be less than NIS 16,379 (excluding V.A.T.) linked to the upside index as stated in sub-clause 6.3.4 below (hereinafter: “the Intermediate Price”), the Housing Company will pay the Company an amount equivalent to the full difference between the Intermediate Price and the Basic Price where this is multiplied by the sale areas and the Municipality’s share in the Additional Consideration, plus V.A.T. as prescribed by law against receipt of a casual transaction form.

 
26
 

For example –

In a case in which there has been no rise in the upside index, the average selling price per sq.m. will be NIS 16,000 (excluding V.A.T.) and the sale areas will stand at 50,000 sq.m., then the Additional Consideration to the Company will be:

50,000* 24.16%*(16000-15517) = NIS 5,834,640 plus V.A.T. according to law.

6.3.3
If the average selling price per sq.m. should exceed the Intermediate Price (hereinafter: “the High Price”), the Housing Company will pay the Municipality the following cumulative amounts, together with V.A.T. according to law and against receipt of a casual transaction form:

6.3.3.1
The full difference between the Intermediate Price and the Basic Price where it is multiplied by the sale areas and by the Company’s share in the Additional Consideration.

6.3.3.2
50% of the difference between the High Price and the Intermediate Price where this is multiplied by the sale areas and by the Company’s share of the Additional Consideration.

For example –

In a case in which the upside index has not risen, the average selling price per sq.m. will be NIS 18,000 (excluding V.A.T.), the sale areas will stand at 50,000 sq.m., then the Additional Consideration to the Municipality will be the following cumulative amounts:

50,000* 24.16%*(16379-15517) = NIS 10,412,960 plus V.A.T. according to law.

50,000* 50%*24.16%*(18000-16379) = NIS 9,790,840 plus V.A.T. according to law.

And altogether the Additional Consideration to the Municipality will amount to a sum of NIS 20,203,800 plus V.A.T. according to law.

6.3.4
The Basic Price and the Intermediate Price (as will be updated in accordance with the provisions of sub-clause 6.3.5 below to the extent that same are updated) will be linked to the index or to the Building Inputs Index, according to the index to which the proceeds that will be received from buyers of apartments will be linked and as will be mentioned in the sale contract with the buyers of apartments (hereinafter: “the Upside Index”) and will bear indexation differences at the percentage rise of the Upside Index which is known at the time of doing the relevant accounting as against the Upside Index that was known at the date of signing of an agreement for the sale of the first apartment in the Purchaser’s Project between the Purchaser and a third party, while a decline in the Upside Index will not lead to a reduction of the Basic Price and the Intermediate Price, as the case may be.
 
 
27
 

6.3.5

(hereinafter: “the Betterment Tax Ceiling”), whichever of (1) or (2) above is the lower (hereinafter: “the Determining Amount”), where same is divided by the sale areas, will be added both to the Basic Price and to the Intermediate Price.
For the removal of doubt it is clarified that the aforesaid amount of NIS 10 million is an upper limit, and that the Determining Amount as defined above (which will be divided by the sale areas where the result of the division thereof by the sale areas will be added to the Basic Price and to the Intermediate Price) will under no circumstances exceed the Betterment Levy Ceiling.

For example –

In a case in which the Determining Amount stands at NIS 7,000,000 and the sale areas (of all the apartments) stand at 50,000 sq.m., the following amount will be added both to the Basic Price and to the Intermediate Price:

7,000,000 / 50,000 = NIS 140.0

so that the Basic Price will stand at NIS 15,657 and the Intermediate Price will stand at NIS 16,519.

The Housing Company undertakes to notify the Municipality, immediately after receiving a demand from the local committee for payment of betterment or a betterment levy in connection with any of the specific planning changes.  After receipt of such notice and if the Municipality so wishes, the Housing Company will allow the Municipality to defend such demand for payment, including the exhausting of objection and appeal rights according to law, all at the times prescribed by law.  It is clarified that nothing contained in the provisions of this sub-clause shall constitute a representation and/or any undertaking by the Company and/or the Municipality and/or anyone on their behalf in relation to the approval of the Specific Planning Changes.

For the removal of doubt it is clarified that in every case in which the Determining Amount as defined in this sub-clause above is lower than (a) the amount of betterment or the betterment levy which was actually paid by the Housing Company or (b) the amount of the Betterment Levy Ceiling, including in a case in which the amount of the betterment or the betterment levy is reduced after the actual payment thereof (such as – as a consequence of objection and appeal proceedings), then the necessary adjustments and accounting will be made as between the parties as a consequence of such reduction.

 
28
