4.3 | Implementation of Base Building Modification |
(a) | Where Pharmaxis gives a notice requesting that the Developer proceed with the Base Building Modification in accordance with clause 4.2(b)(i) (or a mutually agreeable solution to Pharmaxis’ objections is achieved as contemplated by clause 4.2(d) or the Expert determines the Modification Cost and/or or delay to the Target Date for Practical Completion under clause 12), then: |
(i) | the Developer will use reasonable endeavours to implement the relevant Base Building Modification (including the proper and timely management, supervision and instruction of all the Developer’s Contractors); and |
(ii) | subject to clause 4.3(b) and 4.3(c) within 10 Business Days of receipt of a tax invoice or each tax invoice from the Developer, Pharmaxis must pay to the Developer the Modification Cost incurred by the Developer in implementing that Base Building Modification. |

(B) | all costs to construct the relevant Base Building Modification; and |
(C) | the current balance of the Pharmaxis Incentive; |
in which case Pharmaxis will not be required to comply with clause 4.3(a)(ii).
Page 17
(b) | If Pharmaxis elects not to credit a Modification Cost against the Pharmaxis Incentive, the Developer and GE will consult each other for the purpose of determining (and in so doing must act reasonably) whether the Modification Cost should be either: |
(i) | rentalised by increasing the commencing annual Rent under the Lease by an amount equal to the Modification Cost of those works multiplied by the Rentalised Rate but only if, in the reasonable opinion of GE and the Developer, the Base Building Modification adds value to the building being constructed by the Developer and is likely, in the reasonable opinion of GE and the Developer, to increase the rent obtainable for the building following the expiry of the Lease; or |
(ii) | amortised and be repaid by Pharmaxis as Amortisation Rent over the first 10 years of the initial term of the Lease at the Amortisation Rate and the Modification Cost must be funded by the Developer prior to Practical Completion if, in the reasonable opinion of GE and the Developer, the Base Building Modification does not add value to the building being constructed by the Developer or is not likely, in the reasonable opinion of GE and the Developer, to increase the rent obtainable for the building following the expiry of the Lease and determine whether GE or Pharmaxis will own those works or items the subject of the Base Building Modification and who will have the obligation of removing those works or items at the end of the Lease, |
in which case Pharmaxis will not be required to comply with clause 4.3(ii). Annexure C contains a worked example of the amortisation methodology.
4.4 | Limitation on Base Building Modifications |
Clauses 4.2 and 4.3 do not apply and the Developer does not have to consider any proposed Base Building Modification where Pharmaxis proposes a Base Building Modification which the Developer determines (acting reasonably) is not within the general scope of and/or capable of being carried out under the Construction Contract would, if implemented:
(a) | create a significant delay in Practical Completion of the Developer’s Works; or |
(b) | materially and detrimentally affect the value, lettability or quality of the Premises, the Estate, or the Land or the structure, services, electrical, hydraulic, plumbing or mechanical components of the Premises, the Estate, or the Land; or |

(c) | accepts the appointment as the principal contractor in connection with the Pharmaxis’ Works; |
(d) | must discharge all the obligations of the principal contractor under the Occupational Health & Safety Act 2000 (NSW) (OH&S Act) and the OH&S Regulations; and |

(a) | If the Premises or any part of them are damaged or destroyed so that the Premises are wholly or substantially unfit for the occupation and use of the Tenant or (having regard to the nature and location of the Premises and the normal means of access) are wholly or substantially inaccessible then until the Premises have been restored or made fit for the occupation and use of the Tenant or are accessible (as appropriate) the Rent or a proportionate part of the Rent according to the nature and extent of the damage or destruction sustained, abates. The Amortisation Rent will not xxxxx in any circumstances. |
(b) | If requested by the Tenant in writing after the damage and destruction occurs, the Landlord must notify the Tenant as to whether it intends or does not intend to reinstate the Premises. Unless the Landlord notifies the Tenant within one month after receipt of that notice that it intends to reinstate the Premises or make the Premises fit for occupation and use or accessible (as appropriate), this Lease may be determined by not less than 30 Business Day’s notice by either party. |
(c) | If the Landlord notifies the Tenant of its intention to make good the destruction or damage under paragraph (b) and: |
(i) | after that does not do so within a reasonable time (having regard to the nature and extent of the damage or destruction and the time expected to commence and to carry out the necessary works) after allowing for all approvals from Authorities, the Tenant may notify the Landlord of its intention to determine this Lease; and |
(ii) | unless the Landlord, after receiving that notice, proceeds with reasonable expedition and diligence to commence or carry out the necessary works, the Tenant may determine this Lease by giving not less than one month’s notice to the Landlord. At the end of that second notice this Lease will be at an end. |
(d) | If: |
50 of 67
(i) | the damage or destruction has been caused or contributed to, or arises from, any act or omission of the Tenant or the Tenant’s Employees; or |
(ii) | any insurance policy or policies for the Premises has been avoided, or payment of the policy money refused or reduced, as a result of the act or omission of the Tenant or the Tenant’s Employees then the provisions of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this clause do not apply and the Tenant is liable for the damage and loss suffered by the Landlord. |
(e) | If, in the Landlord’s opinion, formed at any time in its absolute discretion, the damage to or destruction of the Premises is such that if it is impractical or undesirable to reinstate the Premises or make them fit for the occupation and use of, or render them accessible to, the Tenant, the Landlord may determine this Lease by giving not less than one month’s notice to the Tenant. At the end of that notice this Lease will be at an end. |
