Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.

Notwithstanding the aforesaid, in case of a Transaction that involves sale, transfer or disposal of the securities of the Company, the Grantee’s Options then outstanding may be assumed or substituted for an appropriate number of shares of each class of shares or other securities and/or assets of the successor company in such Transaction (or a parent or subsidiary or another affiliate of such successor company) (the "Successor Company") as were distributed to the shareholders of the Company in respect of the Transaction. Furthermore, if the consideration received by the shareholders of the Company in respect of the Transaction was not solely common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Company, then the Committee may stipulate that the consideration to be received upon the exercise of Options shall be solely common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Company. As well, the Committee may stipulate that in lieu of any assumption of Options for shares or other securities of the Successor Company, such Options will be substituted for any other type of asset of the Successor Company as may be fair under the circumstances, including, but not limited to, cash amounts.

5.           Adapting the Rented Premises

	
  

	
a.

	
The Lessee has prepared and shall prepare, at its expense, by way of planners to be authorized by the Lessor in advance and in writing, all plans for the performance of the initial adaptation works in the premises, as they are defined herein below, including interior plans, statements of quantities, specifications, and the plans of the rented premises and of all the systems in the premises, including air-conditioning, electricity, plumbing, fire-extinguishing, smoke detectors, and security systems (all the aforesaid together hereinafter: “the Plans”) and shall submit such for authorization of the Lessor. The parties agree that up to the date of signature of the agreement, solely the plans for the performance of the initial adaptation works in the area of the new wing of the rented premises have been authorized and these are attached hereto as Appendix B 1 to this agreement. The Lessee has submitted to the Lessor solely initial interior division plans for the performance of the adaptation works in the area of the old wing in the rented premises, which have been authorized as such by the Lessor. Subsequently, the parties hereby agree that the Lessee shall transmit for the Lessor’s authorization the plans (as defined above), including the specific plans for the performance of the initial adaptation works in the area of the old wing, including plans of the systems in accordance with the schedules attached hereto as Appendix B to this agreement. With respect to these plans, the Lessee shall perform any amendment and/or alteration, as required by the Lessor, until it receives authorization of the Lessor for the plans and all this at the earliest possible time, and, in any case, in accordance with the schedules attached hereto to this agreement, as aforesaid. From the moment of final authorization of the plans for the performance of the initial adaptation works in the area of the old wing by the Lessor, as aforesaid, these shall be attached to the agreement as Appendix B2. The Lessee hereby undertakes that the plans shall be adapted by the various consultants on behalf of the Lessee and Lessor, insofar as required by the Lessor, including a safety consultant on behalf of the Lessor, and the Lessee shall act, at its expense, insofar as required, to carry out all the aforesaid.

  

  

  

	
  

	
b.

	
The Lessee shall receive possession of the rented premises, in its present state, “as is” on the date of delivery as defined in section 6 herein below.

The Lessee shall perform, at its sole liability and expense, all the adaptation works in the rented premises, all subject to the provisions of this agreement, including section 14 of this agreement and including the undertaking of the Lessor to participate in the costs of performance of the initial permanent adaptation works, as defined herein below, in accordance with the provisions of this agreement.

Without derogating from the other provisions of this agreement, the parties hereby agree that the adaptation works that the Lessee shall perform in the rented premises in accordance with the final authorized plans, as aforesaid and as specified in section 5(a) above, shall be performed thereby solely from the date of delivery of the rented premises to the Lessee until the date February 1, 2006 (hereinafter: “the Initial Adaptation Works”). The initial adaptation works shall be performed solely by registered contractors, provided that the Lessor shall be partner to the procedure of choosing the performing contractors and the process of conducting negotiations therewith. Any conclusion with respect to selecting any performing contractor and the cost of the works to be performed shall be subject to the prior authorization of the Lessor. The Lessor shall refuse to give its agreement, as aforesaid, solely on reasonable grounds. In addition, the Lessee hereby agrees that the Lessor shall propose to the Lessee, if it chooses to do so, names of contractors to obtain price offers from them and the Lessee shall contact the contractors, as aforesaid, with a request to obtain a price proposal for the performance of the initial adaptation works or any part thereof.

  

  

  

In the event that the Lessor fails to give the Lessee its decision in connection with the price proposal of the contractor that was authorized by the Lessor in advance, as aforesaid, within 10 days of the date the Lessee submits the price proposal in writing to the Lessor, the matter shall be deemed as implied consent of the Lessor, and the Lessee may decide, according to its sole discretion, whether or not the contractor’s proposal is acceptable.

The parties hereby clarify and agree that the Lessor may determine on reasonable grounds in connection with the initial adaptation works that the price proposal and/or the contractor are unacceptable thereto and the Lessee shall act in accordance therewith.

In addition, the Lessee hereby undertakes to cooperate and instruct each contractor and/or anyone on behalf thereof to cooperate with the Lessor and/or anyone on behalf thereof concerning all that is connected to the performance of the initial adaptation works, including in connection with the manner of the performance thereof in the building and in general the fulfillment of the provisions and directions for safety, etc.

The parties hereby agree that on behalf of the Lessee Mr. Yoav Avichai shall supervise the performance of the initial adaptation works, pursuant to the provisions of this agreement.

The Lessor shall finance part of the cost of the initial permanent adaptation works, as to be defined herein below, solely in the amount of $250 per square meter of the rented premises with the addition of Value Added Tax (hereinafter: “the Lessor’s Contribution”) and all subject to the performance thereof pursuant to the provisions of this agreement, in full and on time and in accordance with the provisions of this section.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby clarified that the Lessor’s contribution to the cost of the initial adaptation works, as specified above, shall apply solely to the initial adaptation works in the rented premises, which shall remain in the rented premises on the date of evacuation thereof by the Lessee and which constitute an alteration and/or addition to the infrastructures, to the division or systems of the rented premises, including the form thereof, the nature thereof, the style thereof, the quality thereof, the kind thereof, the size thereof or the quantity thereof and, inter alia, the Lessor’s contribution, as aforesaid, shall not apply to the purchase of movable equipment, such as furniture, computers, etc. (above and herein below: “the Initial Permanent Adaptation Works”).

The parties agree that following the parties’ and various contractors’ conclusion regarding the estimated comprehensive price of the initial permanent adaptation works, the parties shall prepare a revaluation of the amount of the Lessor’s contribution, as defined and specified above, in relation to the total cost of the initial permanent adaptation works (i.e., a revaluation according whereto the Lessor’s contribution reaches a certain percentage [revaluated] of the sum total of revaluated costs of the initial permanent adaptation works) (hereinafter: “the Proportion of the Lessor’s Contribution”).

  

  

  

The Lessor shall pay the Lessee the sum of the Lessor’s contribution in respect of the performance of the initial permanent adaptation works, or any part thereof, according to the amount of the Lessor’s contribution in connection with each and every invoice within 21 days of any date whereon the Lessee issues to the Lessor demands to pay in connection with the performance of such works, against the presentation of the contractors’ invoices in connection with the same works, provided that prior to the performance of the works subject of any invoice, as aforesaid, the Lessee shall receive the authorization of the Lessor in advance and in writing for the price proposal of the contractor selected for the performance of the same works and the selection of the contractor for the performance thereof, and, likewise, the Lessor has authorized that this concerns the initial permanent adaptation works, subject to the fact that the Lessor has authorized the same invoices following the performance of the works, as aforesaid, and the works subject of the invoices have been performed subject to the provisions of this agreement. (For the avoidance of doubt and solely for purposes of illustration, it is hereby clarified that if following the aforesaid revaluation, the parties agree that the Lessor’s contribution to the costs of the initial permanent adaptation works, as aforesaid, amount to (for example) the sum of 35% of the revaluated value thereof (i.e., the amount of the Lessor’s contribution in this case), the Lessor shall pay the Lessee, in accordance with the aforesaid, the value of 35% of the entire invoice to be presented thereto, as aforesaid, in any event up to an upper comprehensive and final limit of $250 per square meter of the rented premises).

The parties hereby further clarify and agree that insofar as the cost of the initial permanent adaptation works shall exceed the sum of the Lessor’s contribution, as defined above, such works shall be performed at the expense of the Lessee, as specified above, and the addition of the surplus price shall be paid by the Lessee. And, in any event where the cost of the initial permanent adaptation works shall be less than the amount of the Lessor’s contribution, as defined above, the Lessee shall not be entitled to any compensation and/or payment and/or refund of the difference between the actual cost of the initial permanent adaptation works and the amount of the Lessor’s contribution, as specified above, and/or to financing for the works and /or any equipment whatsoever, in the amount of the aforesaid difference, at any time whatsoever.

  

  

  

6.           Date of Delivery

	
  

	
a.

	
If the Lessee has conveyed to the Lessor the securities as specified in section 22 herein below, and all remaining payments in accordance with section 11 (c), the Lessor shall deliver to the Lessee possession of the rented premises at the time of signature of the agreement by the Lessee and the submission thereof signed, with all appendices agreed thereto, to the Lessor (hereinafter: “the Date of Delivery”).

	
  

	
b.

	
Without derogating from the generality of the aforesaid, a delay of up to 14 days in the date of delivery as a result of any delay whatsoever, for any reason whatsoever, shall not be deemed a breach of the agreement and shall not entitle the Lessee to any relief whatsoever. It is clarified that termination of the tenancy period shall not be deferred in accordance with a delay in delivery.

	
  

	
c.

	
Without derogating from the aforesaid in sub-section b above, the parties hereby agree that the date of delivery and/or date of completion of the initial adaptation works shall be deferred in cases of force majeure, strikes or lockdowns in the construction industry, situations of war or mobilization of reserves, an unanticipated shortage in materials or laborers, the failure to supply electricity and/or if the rented premises fail to be connected to the electricity grid, provided that liability for such is not exclusively the Lessor’s or any other reason or cause not under the control of or within the reasonable anticipation of the Lessor. The project manager shall determine, according to his discretion, the duration of time wherein the circumstances as specified above occurred and the date of delivery shall be deferred accordingly. A delay as aforesaid shall not be deemed a breach of the agreement and shall not entitle the Lessee to any relief whatsoever. Termination of the tenancy period shall be deferred in accordance with a delay in the delivery of possession thereof.

In the event that completion of the initial adaptation works by the Lessee is delayed due to force majeure and this precludes the entry of the Lessee into the rented premises and its reasonable use thereof for the objective of the tenancy, pursuant to the agreement, all dates pursuant to the agreement shall be deferred for the period wherein the force majeure occurred, provided that the Lessee acted insofar as possible and took all possible means to complete the works as soon as possible and curtail the aforesaid delay.

	
  

	
d.

	
The date of delivery or deferred date of delivery in accordance with sub-sections b or c above, shall be called hereinafter: “the Date of Delivery.”

	
  

	
e.

	
The Lessee shall be obligated to accept possession of the rented premises on the date of delivery and the Lessor shall perform the delivery of the rented premises with the participation of the Lessee’s representative, if he is present, subsequent to receiving notice of at least two business days in advance.

  

  

  

E1.   The parties hereby agree and clarify that a principal and fundamental condition of this agreement is that the Lessee shall evacuate an area of 430 square meters on the first floor of the building, which the Lessee rented from the Lessor pursuant to the tenancy agreement the parties signed on September 14, 2003 (respectively hereinafter: “the Returned Area” and “the First Tenancy Agreement”), on whichever date is the earlier of : (1) ten days from the date of the transfer of the business thereof and/or any part of the business thereof (including the move of any furniture or equipment whatsoever) into the rented premises; or (2) September 2, 2005. It is hereby agreed that at the Lessee’s request of the Lessor, in writing, at least a month prior to this date, the Lessee may receive an extension of up to 10 days of this date, i.e., until October 2, 2005 at the latest (the date of evacuation as aforesaid shall be called hereinafter: “the Date of Evacuation of the Returned Area”). The Lessee hereby undertakes to evacuate the returned area, as aforesaid, in accordance with all provisions of the first tenancy agreement, as it is clean and freshly painted with Tambour Supercryl paint (in the same shade as it received the returned area or any other shade whereto the Lessor or the project manager agrees in writing).

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby agree that as long as the Lessee fails to evacuate the returned area in accordance with the provisions of this agreement and the first tenancy agreement, the first tenancy agreement shall continue to apply to the Lessee for all intents and purposes. Likewise, the parties hereby clarify and agree that the failure to evacuate the returned area beyond 5

business days following the date of evacuation of the returned area, as defined above, shall constitute a fundamental breach of the first tenancy agreement in respect of the failure to evacuate on time, in respect whereof the Lessor may utilize any relief pursuant to the first tenancy agreement and pursuant to any law.

	
f.

	
For the avoidance of doubt it is clarified that the Lessor may also, following the completion of the building, perform building works and other works in parts of the building, which are not the rented premises, including, but not solely, development works, provided that such works fail to preclude and/or damage the reasonable use of the Lessee of the rented premises for the tenancy objective and fail to infringe on the Lessee’s rights pursuant to this agreement.

	
  

	
Likewise, the addition of stories and/or parts of stories and/or the enlargement of the areas permitted for use in the building and/or the alteration of the permitted designation of areas within the building shall not be deemed a beach of the Lessor’s undertaking, as aforesaid, as long as this fails to preclude and/or harm the Lessee’s reasonable use of the rented premises for the objective of the tenancy or fail to infringe the rights thereof, pursuant to this agreement.

	
  

	
The Lessor may perform alterations in the building plans and/or the rented premises, if it is required to do so by any competent authority, provided that the aforesaid alterations fail to preclude and/or damage the Lessee’s reasonable use of the rented premises for the objective of the tenancy and/or fail to infringe the Lessee’s rights pursuant to this agreement.

  

  

  

	
  

	
f.

	
The project manager shall determine, at his discretion, as an expert and not as an arbitrator, whether the works and/or alterations and/or additions, as specified in sub-section 6 (f) above disturb the Lessee’s reasonable use of the rented premises for the objective of the tenancy. In addition, the project manager shall determine, at his discretion, as an expert and not as an arbitrator, whether the initial adaptation works were performed in accordance with the plans in Appendices B1 and B2 to this agreement and whether divergences from the plans or specifications or alterations therein constitute substantial divergences or minor divergences and/or whether such may disrupt the Lessee’s reasonable use of the rented premises. The parties agree that in the event that the project director’s decision, as aforesaid, fails to be agreeable to either of the parties to this agreement, the parties shall jointly request the appointment of an arbitrator whereon they agree to decide such questions. The arbitrator shall be selected in agreement and shall be a professional in the field of engineering and/or construction. In the absence of agreement regarding the appointment of an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be appointed by the chairman of the Contractors and Builders Association in Israel. The parties agree that in the event that either of the parties requests approaching an arbitrator, as aforesaid, the matter shall not constitute grounds for the non-performance and/or delay in performance of any of the provisions of the agreement, without the matter constituting the admission of any contention whatsoever and/or derogating from any contention and/or relief pursuant to any law and agreement.

7.           Parking

e.

	
The Lessee shall pay the Lessor rent and shall make all other payments it is obligated to pay in accordance with this agreement for the entire period of the tenancy, even if for any reason not under the Lessor’s liability the Lessee uses solely part of the rented premises and/or solely part of the time, whether of its own will or not of its own will.

The Lessor shall act insofar as possible to curtail the time period of such electricity breaks, as aforesaid. The Lessee hereby waives any contention and claim in connection thereto.

In the event of a break in the supply of electricity to the rented premises, the Lessee shall be liable from every aspect and at any time to operate the Lessee’s generator to supply electricity to the rented premises, if and insofar as the Lessee has a generator as aforesaid and insofar as the Lessee opts to do so.

The Lessor is obligated to pay the Electric Corporation for the electricity to be supplied to the building without any connection to the Lessor’s success in collecting the sums in respect of electricity consumption from the tenants. Accordingly, the Lessee hereby gives its consent that the Lessor (or the management company) may, subsequent to providing written warning of at least 72 hours in advance, disconnect the electricity supply to the rented premises, both in respect of the failure to pay for electricity consumption, as aforesaid, and in any event of a fundamental breach of this agreement by the Lessee, provided that solely for the purposes of this section it shall not be deemed a fundamental breach of the agreement but rather a breach with respect whereto written warning of 14 days was given to the Lessee and it failed to rectify the breach within this 14-day period. The Lessee hereby explicitly exempts the Lessor from any liability for any deficit and/or damage and/or loss likely to be caused thereto as a result of the interruption in the electricity supply in the circumstances specified herein above.

Notwithstanding the aforesaid, if, for any reason whatsoever, the electricity to the building shall not be supplied in bulk or the Lessor shall request that the rented premises or any part of the building shall be connected to the ordinary supply of electricity (not in bulk), whether permanently or temporarily, at the Lessor’s request, the Lessor shall contact the Electric Company directly concerning all matters connected to the supply of electricity to the rented premises and the consumption thereof by the Lessee and the aforesaid herein in this section shall be revoked or altered, as the case may be, and all conditions and rules of the Electric Corporation regarding all that pertains to the connection and supply of electricity to the Lessee shall apply to the Lessee. The Lessee shall bear all expenses involved in connection with the aforesaid herein in this section. In the event that the Lessor requests that the Lessee be returned to the supply of electricity in bulk, the Lessee shall act as required.

Without derogating from the remaining provisions of the agreement with respect to the arrangement of alterations in the rented premises and as a special and fundamental provision of the agreement, the Lessee hereby undertakes to refrain from performing any works and/or alterations whatsoever in the electricity system in the rented premises and/or the building and/or any part thereof without obtaining the consent of the Lessor in writing and in advance and subject to the conditions of such consent.

In the event that as a result of a law, regulation, order or act of a government authority and/or other competent authority, in the opinion of the Lessor it becomes necessary to perform any alterations in the system of the electricity supply to the rented premises, the Lessor shall perform all such alterations, as aforesaid, and the Lessee shall have no contention whatsoever in respect of the performance of the alteration, as aforesaid. The Lessor shall coordinate the performance of the adaptation works, as aforesaid, with the Lessee, save for in urgent cases.

  

  

  

In addition, the Lessee shall pay the Lessor for the consumption of electricity for air-conditioning of the rented premises, pursuant to the relative consumption of water or electricity of the air-conditioning system in the building, in accordance with Appendix E of this agreement, while the Lessee’s share shall be calculated according to the share of the rented premises in relation to the entire rented areas in the building. For the avoidance of doubt, the expenses in respect of electricity for air-conditioning shall come in addition to the rent and maintenance fees, pursuant to this agreement.

It is clarified that the Lessee has requested to supply the Old Wing Area with air-conditioning with a higher than ordinary level of cooling. In addition to the aforesaid in any other place, the Lessee shall pay the Lessor an additional payment in respect of the supply of air-conditioning with a stronger cooling power than ordinary, in accordance with the formula specified in Appendix E1.

The Lessor shall not bear liability and/or any obligation in connection with any damage, including direct damage and/or resulting damage and/or indirect damage the Lessee or any person, institution or corporation incurs as a result of a break in the supply of electricity and/or air-conditioning to the rented premises by the Lessor, as a result of the failure to pay on time as aforesaid, save in the event that such damage was caused as a result of a break in the electricity supply by the Lessor with malicious intent and not in accordance with the provisions of this agreement.

The Lessee hereby waives finally, absolutely and irrevocably any right to sue the Lessor and/or the management company in respect of breaks in the supply of electricity to the rented premises and/or the building and/or disruptions in such supply, provided that the Lessor failed to perform such disruptions with malicious intent and not in accordance with the provisions of this agreement and did its best to renew the regular supply thereof as soon as possible. The Lessee hereby exempts the Lessor explicitly from any liability for a deficit and/or damage and/or loss it is likely to incur as a result of the disruptions in the electricity supply to the rented premises, save if such were caused as a result of an act or omission with malicious intent of the Lessor and not in accordance with the provisions of this agreement. Notwithstanding the aforesaid in any other place, even if it is found that the Lessor is liable for the damages the Lessee or any third party incurs in any matter, including in connection with the supply or failure to supply electricity to the rented premises and/or other parts of the building, in any event the Lessor and/or the management company shall not bear liability for indirect damages and/or resultant damages and/or damages that are not monetary.

The Lessee’s insurances shall be defined as primary insurance and shall include an explicit condition to the effect that they take precedence over any other insurance the Lessor has arranged.

This insurance entitles the Lessor to full indemnity owing pursuant to the conditions thereof without the Lessor’s insurers demanding participation in coverage of the damage or liability connected to the tenancy agreement. Likewise, the policies shall include a provision to the effect that they shall not be restricted or revoked unless written notice by way of registered mail shall be delivered to the Lessor 30 days in advance.

  

  

  

	
  

	
f.

	
The Lessee declares that it shall have no contention or demand or claim against the Lessor, the services company or other tenants in the building in respect of any damage whereto it is entitled to indemnity in respect thereof, according to the insurances that it undertook to arrange pursuant to this section or was entitled to had it not been for the deductible for damages stated in the same insurances, and it hereby exempts the Lessor and other tenants and other possessors in the building from any liability for damage as aforesaid.

Nothing in the arrangement of the aforesaid insurances by the Lessee may restrict or derogate in any manner whatsoever from the undertakings of the Lessee in accordance with this agreement or release it from the duty to compensate the Lessor and/or any other person whatsoever in respect of any damage caused directly or indirectly in connection with the property wherefore it is liable in respect thereof and/or as a result of the activity thereof and/or from the Lessee’s use of the rented premises and/or as a result of the non-fulfillment of the provisions of this agreement by the Lessee and/or as a result of the performance of works in the rented premises by the Lessee. Payment of any insurance benefits whatsoever to the Lessor shall serve solely to be deducted from the amount of indemnity and/or compensation whereto the Lessor is entitled, as the case may be, in respect of the damage or loss.

The contents of this section shall add to and not derogate from any other provision herein in this agreement with respect to the exemption from liability vis-à-vis the Lessor and with respect to the imposition of liability on the Lessee.

	
  

	
g.

	
The Lessee undertakes to fulfill the conditions of the policy, to pay the insurance fees in full and on time, to ensure and make certain that the insurance policies for the rented premises shall be renewed from time to time, as required and shall remain valid throughout the entire period of the tenancy.

	
  

	
h.

	
If the Lessee fails to fulfill the undertaking thereof according to this section 17 herein in its entirety, the Lessor shall be entitled, but not obligated, to arrange the insurances or part thereof in place of the Lessee and at the expense thereof and to pay in place of the Lessee any amount, without derogating from the Lessor’s right to any other relief. In such instance, the Lessor shall be entitled to the refund of the expenses thereof in this context together with interest for delay as specified in section 2 above.

	
  

	
i.

	
Without derogating from the generality of the aforesaid in section a above, the Lessee shall be liable for any claim wherefore the Lessor is likely to be obligated as a result of the Lessor’s breach or failure to fulfill the provisions of any law or license or competent authority or as a result of the breach of an undertaking of the Lessee pursuant to this agreement, and the Lessee shall indemnify the Lessor in respect of any expense or damage whatsoever, if there are such, in connection therewith.

  

  

  

The parties hereby clarify and agree that the Lessee is solely liable and shall indemnify and compensate the Lessor forthwith upon its first demand in respect of any damage and/or expense the Lessor incurs, directly or indirectly, including as a result of a claim or complaint from any third party whatsoever in connection with the use and/or handling by the Lessee of chemical and/or biochemical and/or other materials including but not solely the storage thereof, the spill thereof, the drainage thereof including the leaking thereof, for any reason whatsoever, emission of gases of any kind and for any reason from the rented premises and/or from any apparatus and/or system in the rented premises, and including the animals and/or animal house held in the rented premises, if such is held. Indemnity by the Lessee of the Lessor as aforesaid herein in this sub-section shall be against the presentation of documentary proof and/or suitable invoices to the Lessee.

Notwithstanding the aforesaid in any other place, the Lessor shall not be liable in any case for any damage, expense, loss or impairment caused, directly or indirectly, to any person and/or body in connection with the equipment and/or materials and/or animals and/or animal house whereof the Lessee makes use in the rented premises, including all byproducts thereof, as well as, but not solely, the transport thereof, storage thereof, evacuation thereof or emptying thereof. And the Lessee hereby declares that it agrees to be solely liable and indemnify the Lessor forthwith upon its first demand in respect of any expense or damage in connection therewith.

	
  

	
d.

	
If possible, all the insurances shall indicate therein that following each payment of compensation by the insurer, the limits of liability shall automatically be restored to their former state. The Lessee shall be liable to pay the additional premium resulting therefrom.

	
18.

	
Transfer and Endorsement of Rights

	
  

	
a.

	
The Lessee shall not be entitled to transfer the rights in the rented premises and rights pursuant to the agreement or to permit any use whatsoever of the rented premises or any part thereof to anyone else, whether for proceeds or not for proceeds, directly or indirectly, without obtaining the permission of the Lessor to do so, in advance and in writing. The Lessor shall refuse to give the consent thereof solely on reasonable grounds.

  

  

  

	
  

	
b.

	
The Lessor may sell and transfer to another the rights thereof in the lot and/or the building or any of the units thereof, including the rented premises and/or the rights pursuant to the agreement or to encumber them or mortgage them without the need for the prior consent of the Lessee, provided that the Lessee’s rights pursuant to the provisions of the agreement and/or according to any law shall not be infringed. The Lessor shall inform the Lessee insofar as it shall sell the rights thereof in the rented premises to another.

	
  

	
c.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that a delay in payment of the rent, management fees and/or any other payment, which the Lessee is obligated to pay to the Lessor, pursuant to the provisions of this agreement that fails to exceed 3 business days shall not be deemed a breach of this agreement and shall not entitle the Lessor to any relief of any kind and type whatsoever.

20.         Revocation of the Tenancy and the Agreement

The Lessee hereby agrees and undertakes that notwithstanding the provisions of this agreement with respect to the period of the tenancy, the Lessor may – but is not obligated to – revoke this agreement and evacuate the Lessee from the rented premises by a one-sided notice of 14 days in advance and in writing, provided that the Lessee is given an opportunity of 14 days to rectify the breach in each of the following cases specified herein below:

21.         Evacuation of the Rented Premises

	
  

	
a.

	
The Lessee hereby undertakes to evacuate the rented premises on termination of the tenancy period or on the lawful revocation of this agreement, all according to whichever is the earlier and according to the matter and to return the rented premises to the exclusive possession of the Lessor in the same state it was in as on the date of delivery, including the initial adaptation works, as it is clean and freshly painted with Tambour Supercryl paint (in the same shade as when it received the rented premises) and subject to reasonable and accepted wear.

	
  

	
b.

	
In addition and without derogating from the reliefs and remedies duly granted to the Lessor pursuant to the provisions of this agreement and/or the provisions of law, the Lessee hereby undertakes that if it fails to evacuate the rented premises as aforesaid in section a above, the Lessee shall pay the Lessor for each day of delay agreed usage fees, agreed and estimated in advance, in the amount of double (twice) the rent owing to the Lessor in respect of each day. This sum shall be linked to an index of the known index on the date whereon the Lessee was required to vacate the rented premises, pursuant to section a above, and until the index that shall be known on the date of actual payment.

	
  

	
c.

	
On the evacuation of the rented premises, the Lessee may take with it all movable equipment it introduced into the rented premises at its expense, which may be dismantled, including the equipment specified in Appendix C, which shall be evaluated and attached to this agreement with the advance agreement of the parties in writing, if and insofar as it shall be attached, and unless it is agreed otherwise, the permanent systems the Lessee introduced to the rented premises at its expense, which may be dismantled (together hereinafter: “the Equipment”), provided that the Lessee shall repair at its expense all that requires repair as a result of the aforesaid dismantling activities in order to restore the rented premises to the former state at the time of the delivery, as aforesaid in section a above.

If the Lessee fails to dismantle the equipment or any part thereof as aforesaid, the Lessor shall have the right and option to dismantle them and remove them or, alternatively, to take possession thereof without any duty of paying indemnity and/or compensation and/or refund and/or making any payment whatsoever applying thereto. If the Lessor demanded the evacuation of the equipment within 7 days of the termination of the tenancy period or the revocation thereof and the Lessee fails to evacuate the premises, then in order to pay proper usage fees as determined in sub-section b above, the Lessee shall be deemed as one who has failed to vacate the rented premises as long as the Lessee fails to dismantle and remove the equipment from the rented premises and fails to adapt the rented premises to the former state thereof as on the date of delivery.

 

  

  

  

22.         Securities

To ensure the fulfillment of the Lessee’s undertakings pursuant to this agreement, the Lessee shall deposit with the Lessor at the time of the signature of this agreement and as a condition for receiving possession of the rented premises the following securities:

	
  

	
a.

	
An automatic unconditional bank guarantee, which may be paid off according to first demand and without giving reasons in a shekel amount equivalent to ___________________________ U.S. dollars (the value of the rent and management fees with the addition of VAT in respect of a period of 6 (six) months of rent) (hereinafter: “the Guarantee” or “the Security”) with the text as specified in Appendix G and subject to the conditions specified herein above and below. The guarantee shall be unconditional and not given to endorsement and may be forfeited in full or by installments at any time. The guarantee shall be linked to the representative rate of the U.S. dollar, as specified in the text of the guarantee attached hereto as Appendix G.

The guarantee shall be duly stamped. All expenses involved in issuing the guarantee shall apply solely to the Lessee. In the event that the guarantee is duly forfeited pursuant to this agreement, the Lessee undertakes to deposit forthwith, following the forfeiture as aforesaid, an additional guarantee with the text and the conditions as stated above.

	
  

	
b.

	
Without derogating from the remaining provisions of this agreement, the Lessor may utilize the security, all or in part, as it opts to do, as follows:

	
  

	
(1)

	
In the event that the rented premises fail to be evacuated at the required time, the Lessor may utilize the security in full or in part and in such manner that the funds to be paid shall be deemed, inter alia, as agreed compensation, estimated in advance, as determined herein in this agreement.

	
  

	
(2)

	
In the event of the failure to make a payment that applies pursuant to this agreement to the Lessee, the Lessor shall be entitled to utilize the security in the amount of the sum of the payment required and together with linkage differentials, fines, interest for delay and all other expenses of the Lessor.

  

  

  

In the event that the failure to make a payment constitutes a fundamental breach of the agreement, the Lessor may utilize the security in the amount of the sum required or in the amount of agreed compensation pursuant to this agreement, according to whichever is the higher between them.

	
  

	
(3)

	
In the event of damage to or loss of the rented premises and/or the contents thereof that apply pursuant to this agreement to the Lessee, the Lessor shall be entitled to utilize the security in the amount of the sum required for the repair thereof, together with 15% handling fees. “Repair” shall have the meaning: including replacement.

	
  

	
(4)

	
In order to cover the damages and expenses thereof, in the event of a fundamental breach of the agreement.

	
  

	
(5)

	
In order to cover the damages and expenses thereof in the event of a breach, which is not a fundamental breach, if such fails to be rectified within 7 days of the date whereon the Lessor gave written warning thereof.

	
  

	
c.

	
Notwithstanding the aforesaid in this section 22, it is hereby clarified that the Lessor may not utilize the guarantee and/or any other security pursuant to this agreement unless subsequent to the delivery of notice thereof of 7 days in advance and in writing to the Lessee, during which time the Lessee failed to rectify the breach contended by the Lessor.

	
  

	
d.

	
The provision of a security according to this section fails to constitute a waiver on the part of the Lessor of the right thereof to other reliefs against the Lessee, whether the reliefs are explicitly stated in the body of the agreement or whether such are reliefs available to the Lessor by virtue of any law.

	
  

	
e.

	
The guarantee shall be returned to the Lessee up to three months following termination of the tenancy period or following the presentation of all documentary proof with respect to the performance of all payments pursuant to this agreement by the Lessee – whichever is the earlier of the two dates aforesaid.

a.

b.

	
If the Lessee fails to evacuate the rented premises on termination of the tenancy period and/or on the expiration thereof and/or on the revocation of this agreement, all according to whichever is the earlier, the Lessee shall be deemed as a trespasser of the Lessor’s property in the rented premises and in any part thereof, commencing on the date whereon the Lessee was required to vacate the rented premises, as aforesaid, until the actual evacuation thereof. In such event, as aforesaid, the Lessor, subsequent to giving advance written warning of two business days, may and is entitled to preclude the Lessee or anyone of the units thereof and/or any person on behalf thereof from entering the rented premises and making use of the rented premises or any part thereof. For this purpose, the Lessor is entitled to and may, inter alia, use reasonable force, replace the locks of the rented premises, disconnect and/or instruct that the electricity, water, telephone, gas and air-conditioning be disconnected and preclude the Lessee’s access and entrance, including to the building, and all subject to any law.

This agreement was made and executed on December 4, 2008

	
Whereas

	
The Lessee leases, from the Lessor, various areas in a building in the industrial area in Har Hotzvim in Jerusalem (hereinafter: “the Building”), as specified in section 1a below, and 22 regular parking spaces and 6 double parking spaces in the building’s  parking lot, marked in the parking space blueprint which is attached as Appendix A to this agreement (hereinafter “the Leased Premises”), in accordance with the provisions and terms of the lease agreement signed by the parties on  July 10, 2005, (hereinafter:  “the Main Agreement”), the amendment agreement dated October 23, 2007 (hereinafter: “the Amendment and Supplemental Agreement”) and the parties’ verbal agreement regarding the Lessee’s leasing of the storeroom area, as defined below;

	
Whereas

	
The Lessee notified the Lessor on June 30, 2008 of its decision to exercise the first extension period, as described in section 3 of the amendment and supplemental agreement, with regard to all of the areas in the leased premises, and there has been an agreement on additional updates regarding the leasing of the leased premises, including terms relating to the leasing of the storeroom area as defined below, all subject to the provisions and terms of this agreement;

The parties therefore agree, provide and declare as follows:

2.

	
It is hereby agreed that the total area of the leased premises, as defined above, is 1,781.50 square meters (gross) in total, along with the parking spaces as described above, and that the said area is divided as follows:

(a)        It is hereby agreed that the Lessee is leasing the storeroom area from the Lessor and 2 of the double parking spaces included in the leased premises as defined above in the preamble to this agreement (hereinafter, together: “the Storeroom and the Additional Double Parking Spaces”), beginning on April 1, 2008, and that beginning on the said date, the storeroom and the additional parking spaces will be automatically added to the definition of the leased premises pursuant to the main agreement and pursuant to the amendment and supplemental agreement (hereinafter, together: “the Agreements”), [and that they] constitute an integral part of the leased premises and that they are leased to the Lessee for the entire duration of the lease as stated in the agreements and in this agreement, for all intents and purposes.

	
  

	
(b)

	
The storeroom area was delivered to the Lessee on the delivery date described above in this section 4, on an “as is” basis with regard to the said date – i.e., in shell condition and including only storeroom lighting.  The Lessee may, at its expense only and subject to the provisions and terms of the agreements with regard to the execution of work and/or modifications (including section 14 of the main agreement), carry out any additional work in the storeroom area, as it requires in order to adapt the storeroom to its needs.  To remove all doubt, it is noted that notwithstanding any other provision, the Lessor has not in any event paid and/or participated and will not pay and/or participate in any cost whatsoever in connection with any adaptation work whatsoever in the storeroom.

It is also agreed that subject to the leasing of the storeroom area in accordance with all of the provisions and terms of this agreement, the Lessee will pay only the rental payments and maintenance fees for an area of only 40 square meters (gross).

	
  

	
(e)

	
In addition, it is hereby expressly agreed that if the Lessee makes any use of the storeroom area or of any part thereof which is other than as described in section 4(c) above, the Lessee – beginning at the time that the use is so changed – will pay to the Lessor, with respect to the leasing of the entire storeroom area (i.e., for 67.50 square meters (gross)), rental payments and maintenance fees in the amount of the rental payments and maintenance fees  that apply to the leasing of the New Wing Area in accordance with the agreements (instead of the rental payments and maintenance fees  described in section 4(d) above).

	
  

	
(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.

  

  

  

	
  

	
(g)

	
At the time of the signing of this agreement, the Lessee will pay to the Lessor the rental payments and maintenance fees for the leasing of the storeroom and the additional double parking spaces, as described above, for the lease period from April 1 2008 through December 31, 2008.  It is also agreed that beginning on January 1, 2009, payment of the rental payments and maintenance fees for the storeroom and the additional double parking spaces will be added to payment of the rental payments for the other areas and parking spaces in the leased premises, on the first day of each calendar quarter, as provided in the agreements.

	
  

	
(h)

	
It is noted that the Lessee is required to purchase and expand the insurance policies that are required pursuant to the agreements, such that they will apply to all of the area of the leased premises, including the storeroom and the additional double parking spaces.

	
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.

	
7.

	
Additionally, at the time of the signing of this agreement, the Lessee will give the Lessor a written confirmation from the bank regarding the extension of the collateral (the bank guarantees) which had been delivered to the Lessor with regard to the leasing of the leased premises, such extension to be through March 15, 2011, and by one month prior to the commencement of the first extension period, the Lessee will give the Lessor a written confirmation from the Lessee’s insurance company regarding the expansion, renewal and     extension of the various insurance policies that the Lessee undertook to arrange as provided in section 17 of the main agreement, for the first extension period and with regard to the entire leased premises.

	
  

	
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.
