reception, kitchen, sanitary facilities and photocopying areas during the normal
operating hours of 08.30 hours and 18.00 hours from Mondays to Fridays and with
express permission from the Operator outside these hours. The standard facility
fee includes all rates (except where specifically agreed between Client and

. four hours free use of the conference room for every complete
calendar month of this Agreement, subject to availability.
. three days office usage of any Regus centre world-wide, subject to
availability, free of charge for every complete calendar month of
this agreement.
. all service charges relating to normal use of heating, lighting,

2. Duration and Termination of the Agreement.
a) This Agreement is concluded for the duration specified in section 3
overleaf. Unless terminated in writing by either party giving three months
notice (two months if the original duration is three months or less), it will be
automatically extended by further periods of three months until three months
notice of termination is received to the end of an extension period.
b) Extraordinary termination of the Agreement and of the right of
access to the business centre.
i. The Operator may terminate the Agreement or refuse an extension
of the Agreement for just cause, including breach of any part of this
Agreement. Equally, if the Client, being a company, enters into
liquidation whether compulsory or voluntary (save for the purpose of
reconstruction or amalgamation) or, being an individual, has a receiving
order made against him or becomes bankrupt, the Operator will have the
right to terminate all of the Clients rights under the Agreement or such
other rights as the
1
Operator delegates with or without notice to the Client and in addition
to and not in lieu of other remedies available. Upon such action by the
Operator, the Client will remain liable for all obligations which have
previously accrued and will have to pay an indemnity equal to three
months standard facility fee or the total facility fee of the unexpired
term whichever is greater.
ii. In case of termination of the contract between the Operator
and the building owner, the Operator is entitled to terminate the
agreement with the Client by giving the Client no less than three months
notice to the end of a calendar month.
c) Extension of stay beyond the normal period of the Agreement.
Should the Client require the use of the Accommodation once his
Agreement period has terminated and has not been renewed under the general
provisions of this Agreement, it is at the Operator's discretion to permit such
an extension, and it is subject to a surcharge on the standard facility fee.
3. Payment of the Standard Facility Fee and Service Charges.
a) Standard Facility Fee.
The standard facility fee plus applicable VAT as listed in section 3
overleaf is payable in advance on the first working day of each month.
b) Service charges.
All service charges for additional services and facilities used plus
applicable VAT are invoiced in arrears and are payable within seven days of
receipt of invoice. The Operator reserves the right to change the cost of any
or all of the service charges at any time during the term of the Agreement by
giving 30 days notice to the Client.
c) Deposit.
Prior to being given access to the Accommodation, the Client will pay a
deposit specified overleaf as security against all obligations entered into by
the Client in this Agreement, including any damage to the Client's
Accommodations and furnishings and fittings therein. This deposit will be
returned to the Client within 60 days of the Client vacating the premises,
subject to the deduction of any outstanding standard facility fee or service
charges or other fees outstanding and the case of returning the Accommodation to
the condition it was found in at the commencement of the term, reasonable wear
and tear excepted. The Operator reserves the right to increase the deposit
should the Client's outstanding facility fee and service charges exceed the
deposit amount held or if the Client is repeatedly in arrears with payment of
invoices.
d) Penalties upon late payment.
The Operator reserves the right to terminate the Agreement and ask the
Client to vacate the Accommodation immediately if the standard facility fee is
not paid or the service charges for the additional services are not paid by the
end of the day they are due. Any unpaid charges left
2
outstanding after their due date will be subject to increase at the rate of 4%
above the prevailing base rate.
e) Payment of disputed invoiced items.
Should part of an invoice issued by the operator be in dispute, the
Client will be obliged to pay by the deadlines mentioned above the part of the
invoice which is not in dispute while the disputed amount is being settled
between the operator and the Client without prejudice to paragraph 3(d) above.
4. The Client's Rights and Responsibilities.

b) During the term of this Agreement and subject to timely payment of
the standard facility fee, the Client is entitled to use the address of the
