- actually incurred by the Lessor for the purpose of adapting the Premises to
another lessee.

to a third party its rights in accordance with this rental agreement.
12. VACATING THE PREMISES
---------------------
12.1 The Lessor undertakes that immediately on the termination of the rental
period or the Optional Period, as the case may be, or on the lawful
nullification of this agreement for any reason whatsoever (hereinafter "THE DATE
OF VACATING THE PREMISES,") it shall vacate the Premises and deliver possession
thereof to the Lessor, when the Premises shall be free of any person or object
belonging to the Lessor, clean and orderly, and in the condition in which it was
received, with the exception of wear and tear deriving from reasonable use. The
Premises shall be delivered to the Lessor after the removal by the Lessee and at
its expenses of all the additions and/or changes added/implemented by the
Lessee, unless otherwise agreed with the Lessor.
To prevent any doubt, it is clarified that any object and/or equipment
and/or accessories and/or stock not removed from the Premises by the Lessor by
the termination of the rental period, and remaining in the Premises after they
have been vacated by the Lessor, shall become the property of the Lessor, and
the Lessee waives any claim and/or demand and/or suit on account thereof.
12.2 The Lessee undertakes that if it fails to vacate the Premises as stated
in para. 12.1, it shall pay the Lessor an amount equal to twice (200%) the
rental fees for the period between the Date of Vacating the Premises and the
date they are actually vacated, for each month or any
12
part thereof. The Lessee declares that this amount has been determined and
agreed between the Parties as fixed and predetermined damages estimated by the
Parties with consideration and in advance as the reasonable amount of damages
caused to the Lessor pursuant to the failure to vacate the Premises by the set
date.
To prevent any doubt, the Lessee declares that the content of this
paragraph shall not prejudice any right of the Lessor, including, and without
derogating from the generality of the above, the Lessor's right to realize any
security given thereto, and the Lessor's right to demand compliance with all the
Lessee's undertakings in accordance with this agreement; and no payment
whatsoever in accordance with this paragraph shall release the Lessee from the
obligation to vacate the Premises.
12.3 The Lessee declares and undertakes that if it fails to vacate the
Premises as stated in para. 12.1, the Lessor shall be entitled, in addition to
the reliefs provided in accordance with para. 12.2 of this agreement and in
accordance with any law, to demand from the Lessee any amounts, payments, taxes,
liabilities, expenses, losses, and any other payment for the period between the
Date of Vacating the Premises and the actual date of vacating, as if the rental
period had continued - this without prejudicing the Lessee's obligation to
vacate the Premises.
12.4 To prevent any doubt, the Lessee declares that the payment and/or receipt
of damages in accordance with para. 12.2, and/or payments in accordance with
para. 12.3 above, shall not create rental relations between the Parties
regarding the period after the Date of Vacating the Premises.
13. SECURITIES
----------
13.1 To ensure the payments of the rental fees and any other payment the
Lessee is required to make in accordance with this agreement, including damages
caused to the Premises due to unreasonable use by
13
the Lessee of the Premises, and to ensure that the Premises are promptly vacated
by the Lessee, the Lessee shall deposit with the Lessor, within 10 days of the
date of signing this agreement, an autonomous bank guarantee in an amount equal
to the rental fees for six months.
13.2 The bank guarantee shall be returned to the Lessee after the termination
of rental (insofar as it was not realized through that date), subject to the
provision of all authorizations concerning the payment of all payments imposed
on the Lessee in accordance with this agreement, compliance with the Lessee's
remaining undertakings in accordance with this agreement, and inspection of the
Premises. The Lessor shall realize the guarantee only after giving the Lessee
advance warning of at least 10 days in writing.
14. ARREARS IN PAYMENTS
-------------------
14.1 If the Lessee is in arrears in the payment of any amount it is required
to pay to the Lessor in accordance with this agreement, the Lessee shall pay the
Lessor arrears interest on the amount in arrears, at the rate current at Bank
Leumi LeIsrael Ltd. for deviations in debitory checking accounts; the interest
shall be calculated for the period from the day on which the Lessee was required
to pay the amount in arrears and through the date on which it actually made the
payment. If the arrears in payment relate to an amount paid by the Lessor to a
third party instead of the Lessee, and which the Lessee was required to pay to
that third party, the interest shall be calculated for the period from day on
which the Lessor paid the amount in arrears to the third party and through its
repayment by the Lessee. If the Lessor paid interest or a fine to a third party
for the Lessee's arrears in payment, the interest and/or fine shall be
considered part of the capital of the Lessee's debt.
14.2 The payment of interest in accordance with para. 14.1 above shall not
derogate from the Lessor's right to any other relief determined in this
agreement and/or by law.
14
14.3 Arrears of up to 7 days in any payment in accordance with this agreement
shall not constitute grounds for the nullification of the agreement, but shall
constitute a breach and shall entitle the Lessor to interest as stated.
15. LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
-----------------------------
15.1 The Lessee shall bear liability for any damage, including damage to
person and/or property and/or reputation and/or prevention of profit, caused to
the Lessor and/or a third party (person or corporation) in connection with the
Lessee's negligence and/or that of any person on its behalf, and further for any
tort that shall occur - all in connection with the possession of the Premises
and/or the use made of the Premises and/or of the joint property by the Lessee
and any person on its behalf.
15.2 The Lessee undertakes to compensate and/or indemnify the Lessor for all
damages and/or expenses incurred for any damage as stated above.
15.3 The Lessee undertakes to compensate and/or indemnify the Lessor for any
damage or reasonable expense incurred thereby due to a suit filed against it,
whether civil or criminal, and due to the need to defend itself against such
suit, insofar as this suit derives from the Lessee's non-compliance with an
undertaking in accordance with this agreement or from the breach of the said
undertakings, including any demand for damages not falling within the
circumstances establishing the Lessor's liability as stated above.
16. FINAL RECKONING
---------------
16.1 Upon termination of the rental period, or on the nullification of this
agreement for any reason whatsoever, a final reckoning shall be prepared between
the Lessor and the Lessee.
16.2 For the purpose of implementing the final reckoning, the Lessee shall
furnish authorizations from any municipal and/or governmental
15
and/or other authority, and/or from any other body to which the Lessee undertook
to make various direct payments in this agreement, testifying that as of the
date of authorization, the Lessee has cleared all payments relating to the
rental period, including capital and/or interest and/or linkage increments
and/or any other debt for the said period.
17. FUNDAMENTAL BREACH
------------------
17.1 Breaches of the provisions of paragraphs 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 shall be

vacate the Premises.

receipt of damages in accordance with para. 11.2, and/or payments in accordance
with para. 11.3 above, shall not create rental relations between the Parties

which it actually made the payment. If the arrears in payment relate to an
amount paid by the Lessor to a third party instead of the Lessee, and which the
Lessee was required to pay to that third party, the interest shall be calculated
for the period from day on which the Lessor paid the amount in arrears to the
third party and through its repayment by the Lessee. If the Lessor paid interest
or a fine to a third party for the Lessee's arrears in payment, the interest
and/or fine shall be considered part of the capital of the Lessee's debt.

derogate from the Lessor's right to any other relief determined in this
agreement and/or by law.

undertaking in accordance with this agreement or from the breach of the said
undertakings, including any demand for damages not falling within the
circumstances establishing the Lessor's liability as stated above.
