Without
derogating from the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby agreed that the
Tenant shall be entitled to lease any part of the Premises by way of

18.1.1. |
The Tenant undertakes that by no later than the end of the Initial Lease Period
and/or the end of the Additional Lease Period and/or if the Agreement is
annulled by any one of the parties due to its breach by the other party, it
will vacate the Premises and return them to the Landlord. The Tenant undertakes
that at the time of vacating the Premises and returning same to the Landlord

good, orderly and whole condition as it received them, subject to normal wear
and tear caused during the rental of the Premises. For the avoidance of doubts,

18.1.2. |
The
Tenant will deliver to the Landlord, within 30 days of the date of vacating the
Premises, confirmations from any municipal and/or governmental authority of the
fact that it has discharged all of its obligations towards them according to

If
the Tenant does not furnish all of the said certificates in a timely manner, the Landlord
may avail itself of all of the rights afforded to it by law and according to this
Agreement. |
11
| |
18.2. |
In
respect of any day of delay in vacating the Premises beyond five days of
delay, then, without derogating from the Landlord’s right to exercise
its rights in any manner that it sees fit, and without derogating from any
other right to which the Landlord is entitled by law and/or under the
Agreement in the above circumstances, the Tenant shall pay the Landlord
due use fees amounting to $1,000, together with VAT, for each day, as
liquidated damages. The said use fees shall be linked to the consumer
price index. |
| |
The
Tenant will be similarly responsible for payment of the management fees, together with
VAT, the municipal taxes and other payments according to this Agreement in respect of the
period of delay in vacating the Premises, and it is hereby agreed that with regard to the
payment of the aforesaid management fees a delay of part only of a month in vacating the
Premises shall be regarded as a delay of a whole month. |
| |
The
time for payment of the liquidated damages in respect of every day of delay in vacating
the Premises shall be at the commencement of each such day of delay. |
| |
It
is expressly agreed and warranted between the parties that the sum of liquidated damages
has been set after a considered and level-headed assessment, taking into account the
reasonable proportion of damages which are foreseeable at the time of entering into this
Agreement, which would be caused to the Landlord as a result of the non-vacation of the
Premises by the Tenant at the aforesaid time, and the Tenant shall not be allowed to make
any claim to the effect that the said amount was set by way of a fine, and the Tenant
shall be estopped from making such a claim. |
| |
18.3. |
The
parties expressly agree and warrant that none of the provisions of Section
18.2 above shall have the effect of releasing the Tenant from its
obligations according to Section 18.1 above, and/or of granting the Tenant
any right whatsoever, including, but without derogating from the
generality of the foregoing, any protected tenancy right under the Tenants’ protection
Law, and/or of constituting an agreement by the Landlord to an extension
of the Lease Period in the Premises by the Tenant and/or of constituting
any kind of waiver on the part of the Landlord to the Tenant and/or of
derogating from or diminishing any of its entitlements and/or of injuring
the Landlord’s right to receive any other relief and remedy according
to this Agreement and by law, including the Tenant’s dispossession
from the Premises. |
| |
18.4. |
Without
derogating from any other entitlement to which the Landlord may be
entitled according to any law, in the event that at the time of vacating
the Premises and returning them to the Landlord, the Premises will not be
in the condition as described in Section 18.1 above, the Landlord shall
have the option of receiving from the Tenant, immediately on its first
demand, all of the reasonable expenses paid out by the Landlord in order
to restore the Premises to the state in which the Tenant was under an
obligation to return them to the Landlord, together with all of the
reasonable expenses entailed therein, or to determine that the Tenant has
not vacated the Premises as required under the terms of the Agreement, in
which case the provisions of the Agreement governing the non-vacation of
the Premises by the Tenant in a timely manner will apply. |
| |
18.5. |
In
addition to any right to which the Landlord shall be entitled according to
any law and this Agreement, in the event that the Tenant does not vacate
the Premises in a timely manner, the Landlord or anyone appointed by it
shall be competent and entitled, and the Tenant hereby gives its consent
and authorization, to terminate immediately the supply of water,
electricity, air conditioning and other services to the Premises and/or to
the Tenant, in Landlord’s absolute discretion, and the Tenant hereby
waives any claim and/or action and/or demand in this regard. |
12
| |
18.6. |
If
the Tenant fails to vacate the Premises on time, or fails to comply with any
of the terms in respect of vacating the Premises, the Tenant shall be
regarded as an intruding trespasser and an encroacher on the Landlord’s
territory, to all intents and purposes. |
| |
18.7. |
The
provisions of this clause constitute a fundamental term of this Agreement. |

| |
The
written authorization of any branch director of the Bank regarding the rate of interest as
aforesaid shall constitute proof as to the rate of such interest. |
