regarded, with all its implications, as part of the lease period.

the sum which is linked, in arrears.

delay in payment had to do with as a sum paid by the Lessor to a third party,
including to the management company as defined in article 12 (A) below, and
which the Lessee was obliged to pay to the said third party, the maximum
interest in arrears for the time period will be calculated from the day on which
the Lessor paid the sum in arrears to a third party, until it was returned by
the Lessee. If the Lessor has paid to a third party, including the management
company, maximum interest in arrears due to a delay in payment by the Lessee,
the maximum interest in arrears will be calculated as aforesaid as a part of the
debt which the Lessee must return to the Lessor.
For all the payments which the Lessee pays the Lessor as aforesaid, the Lessee
will pay Value Added Tax as required by law. A tax invoice shall be submitted by
the Lessor close to the date of payment.

F. The payment of interest in accordance with paragraph E above shall not
detract from the Lessor's right to any other relief as set out in this agreement

in whole or in part, on the account of the lease payments, from the time when a
warning in writing of this has been given by the Lessor to the Lessee, will be a
basic violation of this agreement by the Lessee.
H. The two sides agree that to the extent that a permit may be given to the
designated party for dividing up the open area which is marked with the letter A
in Annex A which is attached, and for using it for the purpose of leasing, the
payments for lease payments and for management fees will be revised from that
point in time in accordance with the payment distribution schedule per square
meter in gross for the main office area on the floor, and the same basic payment
per square meter will apply in regard to the office area on the floor.
I. After five years from the start of the lease period and to the extent that
the Lessee may exercise the option to extend the lease period as mentioned in
article 8 A above, the parties will hold negotiations regarding the basis for
lease payments. As regards the remainder of the lease period, if the parties do
not reach an agreement among themselves within 30 days, the negotiations will be
held with an appraiser's assistance, on behalf of each one of the parties, and
if the two appraisers do not reach an agreement among themselves within 30 days,
they will appoint a third appraiser who will decide what will constitute the

their order and on time, whether a management contract has been signed or
whether one has not been signed.
B. The Lessee undertakes to meticulously fulfill all the obligations of the

13. INSURANCE
A. Without detracting from the Lessee's liability, or his legal
representative's, and/or in accordance with what is stipulated in this contract,
before taking possession of the Property under lease, and/or before the time any
work whatsoever on the Property under lease has begun to be implemented by the
Lessee and/or his representative, and/or on his behalf at the earlier of the two
dates, the Lessee undertakes to arrange for and implement insurance for setting
up work, at his expense and/or at the expense of others who represent him (as
specified further on in this article). In regard to any work carried out by him
and/or his representative for the operation of the Property under lease and/or

machines which may service the Lessee's business, and also for all repairs,
improvements, changes, and additions which may be carried out in "the Property
under lease."
Insurance for setting up work shall be arranged so that the policyholders will
be the Lessee, his representative, contractors or sub-contractors, the Lessor
and the management company, and shall continue until the work has been fully
completed, with an additional maintenance period of
14
12 months. The cost of insurance for setting up work will apply to the Lessor
until the time of delivery, and be subject to meeting the specifications, as
aforesaid in Annex E, and the aforesaid insurance will appertain to the Lessee
to the extent that the aforesaid insurance applies, the insurance shall apply
starting from the time of delivery.
The insurance for setting up work shall include the following:
1. SECTION ONE:
ALL RISK INSURANCE, which covers at full value, all work which is carried out by
the Lessee and all repairs, renovations, improvements, changes and additions
which may be carried out by the Lessee in the Property under lease. This section
will include a clause regarding waiver of substitution concerning all the
lessees and tenants in Beyt ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in Herzliyah, and in whose insurance
policies a parallel clause is included regarding waiver of substitution as
regards the tenant, because of any damage caused by them, provided that the

a person who has caused damage with malicious intent.
This section includes an explicit amplification regarding property being worked
on and/or regarding near-by property with a liability limit of no less than
$50,000 (fifty thousand United States dollars) in this event.
To remove all doubt, it is explicitly indicated that this amplification shall
not detract from the insurer's obligation to compensate the individual
policyholders in accordance with third party liability insurance as aforesaid in
Paragraph 2 as follows, on account of liability for damage caused to property on
which work is being carried out or on adjacent property as aforesaid.
2. SECTION 2

shut-downs and also claims made by the National Insurance Institute. This
section will include a cross liability clause according to which the insurance
is calculated as if it were prepared separately for each one of the insured
individuals. It will also be explicitly indicated, to remove all doubt, that the
Lessor's property and/or that of the management company shall be considered as
third party property as far as this section is concerned.
3. SECTION 3
EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY INSURANCE as regards liability for employees carrying out
work at the maximum standard liability limit which is customary in Israel at the

shall take precedence over any insurance arranged by the Lessor and/or the
management company, and that the insurers waive any demand or claim as to
insurance coverage participation by the Lessor and/or the management company,
and the insurance shall not be reduced or canceled, unless the insurer gives
notification of this by registered mail, at least 30 days in advance.
C. (1) Without need for any request or entreaty on the part of the Lessor,

certification of having taken out insurance for setting up work in accordance
with the text - "confirmation of taking out insurance coverage for setting up"
which is attached to this agreement and is marked in Annex C-1 and which has

delivery of "Confirmation of taking out insurance for setting up" as aforesaid
is a prior and overriding condition for carrying out work in the Property under
lease and/or transfer of possession in the Property under lease.
2) Without detracting from the Lessee's legal liability and/or in accordance
with the aforesaid in this contract, from the time the Lessee opens his business
in the Property under lease or from the time any chattels whatsoever are
introduced into the Property under lease (except for chattels included in the
insured work in accordance with Article 2 above), the earlier of the two dates,
the Lessee undertakes, for the whole lease period (including any extension of
the lease period), to arrange for and to carry out, at his expense, the

damage, impact from a vehicle, impact from an aircraft, and burglary
(henceforth: "extended fire risk")
The Lessee undertakes to bring the insurance sums up to date from time to time
so that they always reflect the full cost of setting up the property insured by
him, including additions and improvements.
Despite the aforesaid, it is hereby agreed that the Lessee is entitled not to
arrange for insurance of the contents of the Property under lease. However, in
any event, the liability for the damage to the contents of the Property under
lease is the Lessee's alone, and the Lessee hereby releases the Lessor from any
liability and/or any future claim.
16
E. CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS INSURANCE for loss that might be caused to the Lessee
and/or to his representative as a consequence of damage to the structure of the

with its installations, as a result of extended fire risk, and this, in suitable
amounts of insurance coverage for a reasonable indemnity period which shall be
no less than 12 months.
Despite the aforesaid it is hereby agreed that the Lessee is entitled not to
arrange for Consequential Loss Insurance as aforesaid. However, the exemption
which is mentioned in sub-section J as follows shall apply as if the insurance
were arranged for as aforesaid.
F. The stipulated insurance coverage in the aforementioned Articles D and E
shall include an express condition according to which the insurer waives any
right of substitution as regards the Lessor, the management company and those
representing them, and also as regards other lessees and/or tenants of the

concerning the waiver of the right of substitution will not be valid for the
benefit of whoever caused the damage out of malicious intent.
G. LIABILITY INSURANCE TOWARDS A THIRD PARTY for any injury or damage which
might be caused to the person or property of any person and/or legal entity, and

lessees and tenants of the building and to the guests of the aforesaid building,
within the liability limit which shall be no less than the amount of $500,000
(five hundred thousand United States dollars) in this occurrence. This insurance
will not be subject to any restriction as to liability resulting from fire,
explosion, panic; lifting, unloading and loading equipment; defective sanitary
installations, poisoning, anything harmful in food or beverages, a strike or
shut-down, or claims made by the National Insurance Institute.
The name of the insured party of the insurance coverage shall be extended to
include the Lessor and the management company because of their liability for
bodily injury which might occur in the Property under lease, and this is
subordinate to the cross liability clause, according to which the insurance will
be calculated as if it were taken out separately for each one of the individual
policy holders.
The aforesaid concerning tenants and other occupants in Beyt ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, is
subordinate to the other lessees and tenants having exercised their rights in
accordance with their policies.
H. EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY INSURANCE for the Lessee's or his representative's
liability towards all those employed by them and on their behalf, within the
maximum standard liability limit which is customary in Israel, at the time of

extent that they are included in the payment list of the Lessee, baits and
poisons, and as regards employment of youths. The insurance shall be extended to
indemnify the Lessor and/or the management company if they are considered as
employers of employees of the Lessee, or any one of them.
17
The Lessee's insurance shall include an express condition according to which
these conditions take precedence over any insurance which was taken out by the
Lessor and/or the management company, and the insurer waives any claim and/or
demand concerning insurance coverage of the Lessor and/or the management
company. Likewise, the insurer undertakes that the policies of the insurance
coverage of the Property under lease will not be reduced nor canceled, unless
notification of the matter is given in writing by the insurer and sent by
registered mail to the Lessor at least 45 days in advance.
1) The Lessee declares that he will not make any claim and/or demand and/or suit
against the Lessor and/or the management company and/or other lessees and/or
tenants in Beyt ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ on account of damage that the Lessee will be
entitled to indemnity for (or that he would be entitled to indemnity for if it
were not for the deductible part of his insurance policy), according to the
insurance policies that were taken out in accord with Articles A to I above.
2) In every insurance coverage mentioned in Articles A to I, it will be
indicated that the term "Lessor" will include the share owners of the Lessor, as
well as their subsidiary companies.
11. Without the need for any demand on the part of the Lessor, the Lessee
commits himself to provide for the Lessor, within 14 days of the date of opening
the Lessee's business on the Property under lease, or before the date of

included in the work insured according to Articles B and C above), on the
earlier of the two dates, a confirmation certificate as to his having taken out
insurance on the Property under lease in accord with the formula "Confirmation
Certificate of Insurance on the Property under lease" which is attached to this
agreement and marked as Insurance Annex 2C, properly signed by the Insurer.
The Lessee declares that he is aware that providing a "Confirmation Certificate
of Insurance on the Property under Lease" as stipulated, is an overriding, prior
condition for opening the Lessee's business on the Property under lease and/or
bringing any chattels into the Property under lease (except for chattels
included in the work insured according to Articles B and C above), and the
Lessor will be entitled to prevent the Lessee from opening his business on the
Property under lease and/or bringing in chattels as stipulated, in the event
that the aforementioned confirmation certificate has not been provided on time.
12. In order to dispel doubt, it is made clear that non-production of
insurance confirmation certificates on time, as stipulated in this Article
above, will not detract from the Lessee's obligations according to this
contract, including and without detracting from the totality of all obligations
to make payment that pertain to the Lessee, and the Lessee undertakes to fulfill
his obligation according to this contract, even if he is prevented from carrying
out work and/or receiving possession of the Property under lease and/or bringing
chattels into the Property under lease and/or opening his business on the
Property under lease, due to non-presentation of the confirmation certificates
on time.
13. The Lessee undertakes to fulfill the terms of the insurance policies -- for
work for setting up and insuring the Property under lease, to pay the premiums
in full and on time, and to take
18
care to ascertain that the insurance policies of the Property under lease are
renewed from time to time as needed, and that they be valid for the whole period
of lease.
14. Immediately after the termination date of the term of insurance on the
Property under lease, the Lessee undertakes to deposit with the Lessor a
certificate of having taken out insurance -as stipulated in Article 11 above-
for the purpose of renewing the policies' validity for an additional year. The
Lessee undertakes to deposit the certificate of taking out insurance again on
the dates specified for every insurance year for the whole term of the lease.
15. The Lessor is entitled to examine the insurance confirmation certificates
that are produced by the Lessee as said above, and the Lessee undertakes to
carry out any change or amendment demanded in order to make the certificates
correspond to the Lessee's obligations. The Lessee declares and undertakes that
the Lessor's right of review over the insurance confirmation certificates and
his right to order amendment of the insurance policies as stipulated above and
likewise the Lessor's intervention in everything connected to the Lessee's
taking out of the various policies, does not impose on the Lessor or on his
representative any obligation or responsibility in regard to the insurance
confirmation certificates and in regard to insurance policies as said, their
nature, scope, and validity, or in regard to their absence, and this does not
detract from any obligation imposed on the Lessee according to this agreement.
16. The Lessee is entitled to take out additional/supplementary insurance
policies besides those detailed in this agreement, according to his judgment.
17. In addition to and without detracting from what is said anywhere above in
this agreement, in all the stages of performance of the contract, the Lessee
undertakes to fulfill all demands and instructions of the National Insurance law
and all orders, regulations and the like that may be instituted according to the
above mentioned law, and especially, but without detracting from the totality of
what is said above, in such a manner that all his employees and representatives,
including those that may be employed casually or temporarily, will be at all
times and during the whole period of this contract entitled to all the rights

by aircraft and break in. The insurance will include an explicit condition
according to which the insurer renounces any right of substitution concerning

of malice.

of the lease payments that may be made, if they are made, for the period up to
the end of the lease period, by another Lessee who may be found for the Property
under lease after nullification of the agreement. The Lessor will act to find
another Lessee for the Property under lease by acceptable ways and with pure
intentions and in the framework of his duty to minimize the damage.
F. Starting from the 60th day before the date of vacation, an inspection will
be made of the Property under lease by an engineer on behalf of the Lessor, who
will draw up a list of repairs and work that the Lessee must make according to
the directives of this agreement, including repairs to damage and deterioration
and work to restore the situation to what it was before. The engineer on behalf
of the Lessor will also determine the cost of repairs.
The Lessee undertakes to carry out all repairs and work according to the list of
repairs and work drawn up by the engineer on behalf of the Lessor and to get
confirmation from the Lessor's engineer that the repairs have been carried out
to his satisfaction, no later than the date of vacation to the Lessor. If the
Lessee has not performed the repairs, or some of them, by the date of vacation,
the Lessor will be entitled to perform the repairs himself on the account of the
Lessee, and to debit the Lessee for the cost of carrying out the repairs and for
all expenses involved in carrying them out, as well as lease payments and
compensation (including agreed upon compensation) that are due on account of
non-vacation of the Property under lease on time because of the period that may
be required to perform the repairs, if the repairs, or some of them, are carried
out by the Lessor after the time of vacation.
In order to remove doubt, the Lessee will not be released from his obligation in
regard to making repairs on the Property under lease, and in regard to
preserving and returning the Property under lease in good, proper condition, as
stipulated in this agreement, whether the Lessor and/or the engineer in his
behalf has performed the inspection as stipulated at the beginning of this
Article, or whether neither one nor the other has made an inspection as said,
and in the list of repairs there is no concession of the demand to repair
defects that were not included on the list.
Without detracting from what has been said above, the Lessee must dismantle the
"clean room" that was installed by him on the Property under lease, with all its
systems, and this no later than the date of vacation of the Property under
lease, and restoring the situation as it was when he received the Property under
lease. When possession of the Property under lease is returned by the Lessee to
the Lessor, the parties will draw up a protocol of transfer and representatives
of both parties will sign it. The Lessor will abstain from making any claim, of
any sort or kind, concerning the Property under lease or concerning
non-restoration of the situation to what it was before, or concerning flaws that
may be discovered beyond what has been detailed on the protocol of transfer,
except for hidden flaws or defects.
Without detracting from the Lessee's obligation to perform the repairs and work
as detailed in this minor clause, if the Lessee has objections about the
determinations of the engineer in behalf of the Lessor as to the list of repairs
and work, the controversy will be brought before an arbitrator who will be named
by the chairman of the Chamber of Engineers who will decide the
23
issue of the distribution of expenses between the Lessor and the Lessee as to
the above mentioned repairs and work that will be performed by the Lessee.
G. Without detracting from any right and/or relief granted to the Lessor
according to this agreement and/or according to law, to the extent that the
Lessee does not vacate the Property under lease by the date that he is required
to do so, the Lessor will be entitled, after giving seven-days warning in
advance to the Lessee in writing, to enter the Property under lease, to take
possession of it, to change the locks and prevent the Lessee and those acting in
his behalf from entering the Property under lease, and he will be authorized to
evacuate from it all objects belonging to the Lessee to any place as the Lessor
may find proper, and all the expenses and/or payments and/or damage caused as a
result of the aforementioned evacuation will appertain to the Lessee alone.
16. The Parking Facility
A. The Lessor undertakes to bring about that the Lessor or the factor
operating the Lessor's parking facility in the building at the time (below: "The
Parking Facility"), will place at the disposal of the Lessee, starting from the
date of the beginning of leasing according to this agreement, 30 (thirty)
parking places as demarcated on the diagram of parking places attached to this
agreement as Annex B, attached.
B. For each parking place, the Lessee will pay a monthly rental fee in the
amount of 234.90 new shekels, in a total amount of 8,829 new shekels per month
with the addition of VAT as required by law. The rental fee for the parking
places will be linked to the consumer price index in the same manner as the
lease payments for the Property under lease, they will be paid in the same
manner and the same rules will apply to them for all purposes.
C. 1) In order to dispel doubt, the Lessee will be subject to the
instructions and/or directives of the Lessor and/or the entity that operates the
parking facility at the time in all that has to do with arrangements of entry,
parking, exit, security, operation, times of operation, and arrangement of the
parking facility.
2) The Lessor will see to it that the Lessee's vehicles will be able to exit the
parking facility on work days even after it is closed and until midnight.
3) If the Lessee asks to use the parking facility beyond the hours of operation,
he will receive this service in exchange for the costs involved in this service.
17. Surety Guarantees
A. On the occasion of signing this agreement, the Lessee will deposit with
Attorney ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ of the ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Associates office, as trustees
for the Lessor, a sum equal in shekels to the basic lease payment for three
months, together with differentials for linkage to the index as stipulated in
Article 9 A (2) above until the date of deposit, plus VAT. This is to ensure the
payment of lease payments and/or any debt and/or other indebtedness of the
Lessee according to this agreement.
On the occasion of making the seventh payment on the account of the lease
payments, the Lessee will deposit with Attorney ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ and under the
same conditions, an additional sum
24
in an amount equal in shekels to the basic lease payment for three months
together with linkage differentials as stipulated above in Article 9 A (2),
until the date of performance of the additional deposit mentioned above, plus
VAT, with the purpose being to ensure payment of lease money and/or any debt
and/or other indebtedness of the Lessee according to this agreement.
The above sum will be deposited as said above for up to 90 days after the end of
the leasing period.
If for any reason it is too difficult for Attorney ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ to continue to hold
the deposit, then, without any further agreement, the balance of the deposit
will be transferred, in the state that it is in at that time and in the same
conditions, to another partner in the office of ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Associates
Attorneys, as Attorney ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ will inform the Lessor.
The deposit money will be invested by the trustee only in liquid investments
according to instructions that will be given from time to time by the Lessee.
The trustee will update the Lessor upon his demand and at any time in regard to
the monetary balance in the deposit. The balance will not diminish in any event
below a sum equal to the lease payments for six months, linked to the basic
index, plus VAT.
The trustee will transfer to the Lessor any sum that he may require from time to
time from the deposit money, provided that a letter from the General Manager of
the Lessor is attached to the demand. Such a letter is to state that the Lessee
has violated the lease contract and that the sum demanded is rightly deserved by
the Lessor on account of the violation.
The trustee will be obliged to transfer the sum demanded by the Lessor as
stipulated, no later than three business days after receipt of the demand and he
will make no judgment in the matter and he will not be entitled to delay
execution of the payment for any reason.
Attorney ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ will confirm in writing on the occasion of signing this
agreement that the deposit has been deposited in his hands and that he will act
in regard to it according to what has been stipulated in this Article.
The text of the aforementioned letter will be attached as Annex H of this
contract.
B. The role of the trustee according to this contract will not prevent him from
representing the Lessee in any matter related to this lease contract, including
the matter of the deposit, after it has been transferred to the Lessor as
stipulated above.
18. Remedies for Violations
A. Without detracting from what is stated in the continuation of this Article
and from specific remedies that appear in this contract and in addition to the
aforesaid, the directives of the Law of Contracts-1970 (Remedies for Violation
of a Contract) shall apply to violation of this agreement.
B. If the Lessor annuls the agreement on the basis of his right as detailed in
this agreement, the Lessee will not be entitled to receive payment or any
compensation from the Lessor on account of his investments and/or on account of
any payments that he made or paid to the Lessor and/or on account of damages of
any kind that were caused or might be caused to him as a result of vacation of
the Property under lease according to this agreement, and these sums will be
25
foreclosed by the Lessor as compensation and this will be without detracting
from his rights to demand full compensation from the Lessee for all damages,
expenses, losses, and loss of profit that have been caused to him.
C. If the Lessee does not return the Property under lease in proper condition
except for reasonable wear and/or will not repair what needs repair on the
Property under lease and/or will not return the Property under lease to the
Lessor at the end of the lease period in proper condition as stipulated in the
agreement and/or if any damage is caused to the Property under lease in the
lease period that has not been repaired by the Lessee;
then in addition to any other right that the Lessor may have in such a ease in
accord with the directives of this agreement and/or in accord with any law, the
Lessor will be entitled to carry out any repair and/or to do any action
whatsoever that may seem proper in his view to repair the damage and/or to
restore the situation to what it was before (that is, to the situation detailed
in Annex A of this agreement), and this will be on the account of the Lessee.
D. The Lessor will be entitled to annul this agreement and the lease rights
according to the agreement, if a decision is made as to bankruptcy,
receivership, or liquidation, or as to appointment of a liquidator, receiver, or
manager or bankruptcy trustee, whether temporary or permanent, for the Lessee,
or if an order is made as to attachment of the Lessee's assets --in whole or in
part-- and the decision or the order aforesaid is not annulled within 60 (sixty)
days from the date that the order or decision is given.
E. If this agreement has not been violated in a fundamental manner by the Lessee
and the violation has not been corrected within 14 days from reception of
advance warning in writing on the matter from the Lessor with details of the
alleged violations, the Lessor will be authorized to annul the agreement by
notice in writing about the matter to the Lessee, and this in addition to any
other remedy according to this agreement or according to any law.
If the agreement has been violated by the Lessee in a fundamental manner, the
Lessor will be authorized to annul it by notice in writing, after advanced
warning in writing in which the Lessee will be given an extension of seven days
to correct the violation, and this will be in addition to any other remedy at
the disposal of the Lessor according to this agreement or according to any law.
19. Non-Response, Avoidance of Taking Action -- and Changes and Additions to
the Agreement
A. Non-response and/or avoidance of taking any action and/or of exercising any
right and/or giving any extension will not be considered and will not be
interpreted as an implied concession and/or as implied agreement and/or as a new
agreement and/or as facts creating against either of the parties a hindrance
and/or estoppel because of conduct or by another way in the mutual relations
between Lessor and Lessee.
B. The conditions of the agreement reflect what has been agreed and what is
contingent between the parties. The parties will not be bound by any promises,
publications, declarations, presentations, agreements, influences, and
commitments, oral or written, that are not included in the agreement and that
were made, if at all, before it was signed.
26
C. Any change and/or addition to this agreement will be made explicitly and in
writing and will be signed by the parties and as long as this has not been done,
it will have no binding validity in respect of the parties.
D. This agreement, with its annexes, cancels any previous agreement between the
parties, and there will be no validity to any previous agreement and/or
presentation, if such has been made, and that has not been included in this
agreement with its annexes.
20. Payment by One Party Instead of the Other Party
Any sum paid by one party to this agreement, whereas in accord with this
agreement the duty of payment appertains to the other party, will be returned to
the party that has paid as soon as the paying party demands it, with linkage to
the Consumer Price Index as defined in Article 9 A (2) above, with the basic
Index for this matter being the last Index known on the day of payment by the
payer, and up till the day of actual reimbursement according to the Index that
will be known on the day of the actual reimbursement.
21. Transfer of Rights by the Lessor
The Lessor and/or anyone [from individual????] the Lessor will be entitled to
transfer and/or subordinate his rights to the Property under lease, all or some
of them, and/or his rights according to this agreement, all or some of them, to
someone else and/or to transfer and/or subordinate his rights to receive
payments according to this agreement, and the Lessee will cooperate with any
transfer of rights as said, and will sign any document that will be required
according to the opinion of the Lessor's attorneys for that purpose, and all
this provided that the rights of the Lessee according to this agreement will not
be harmed.
22. Differences of Opinion

managers of the parties who will act to reach an agreed solution among
themselves.

25. Interpretation

convenience alone and do not constitute a part of this agreement.
27
26. Offsetting
A. The Lessee is not entitled to set off lease payments or management fees
against any sum --for any reason-- whether the sum is fixed or not. All this
does not detract from the right of the Lessee to ▇▇▇ the Lessor on account of
that reason. All this holds except for offsetting of the Lessee's payments to
the Lessor for the purpose of financing construction as indicated in Annex 6,
Article 6.
Likewise, the Lessee concedes any right to a lien on the Property under lease or
to rental fees, as long as the above mentioned right exists and this is without
detracting from his right to ▇▇▇ the Lessor on account of the same reason.
B. The Lessor is not entitled to set off from the compensation determined in
Article 4D above, to the extent that the Lessee deserves compensation as a
result of delay in delivering the Property under lease by the Lessor to the
Lessee, any sum for any reason whatsoever, whether the sum is fixed or whether
it is not, and all this is without detracting from the Lessor's right to ▇▇▇ the
Lessee on account of that same reason.
27. Jurisdiction
The parties hereby agree that the courts in Tel Aviv-Jaffa have the sole
authority of jurisdiction in all matters deriving from this agreement.
28. Addresses and Announcements
The addresses of the parties for the purposes of this agreement are as they
appear at the top of the agreement. Each party which changes its address shall
announce in writing about its new address in Israel to the other party and this
address shall serve from then on as its address for purposes of the agreement.
After the beginning of the lease period, the address of the Lessee will be at
the Property under lease.
B. Every announcement that is sent by one party to the other in accord with the
agreement will be sent by registered mail or by facsimile, or will be delivered
by hand with a copy to the attorney of the parties, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, the Office
of ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Associates (attorneys of the Lessee) and Attorney ▇▇▇▇▇
Shuaka of the Office of ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and Associates (attorneys of the
Lessor), or to whoever may take their place and it will be considered to have
been delivered three days after the time of sending at the post office and/or
immediately upon delivery by hand, or by facsimile in such a way that can be
proven, according to the case.
29. Denial of Representation by the Lessee
Nothing said in this agreement and/or nothing in the conduct of the parties by
virtue of this agreement will be interpreted as authorizing the Lessee to appear
in the name of the Lessor or on his behalf, or as granting the Lessee the status
of representative of the Lessor in any matter, and the Lessee will not have any
authority or status in the aforesaid.
