a result of which, but for this provision, the
- 72 -
82
Guarantor would be exonerated either wholly or partly (other than
a release executed and delivered as a deed by the Landlord) but so
that this sub-clause 5.7 shall not provide the Landlord with a
greater claim than it would have enjoyed in such circumstances if
the Guarantor had been the Tenant.
6. DISCLAIMER OR FORFEITURE OF LEASE
The Guarantor further covenants with the Landlord that:-

requires, accept from, and execute and deliver to, the Landlord a
counterpart of a new lease of the Premises for a term commencing on the
date of the disclaimer or other event and continuing for the residue then
remaining unexpired of the Term, such new lease to be at the cost of the
Guarantor and to be at the same Rents and subject to the same covenants
and provisions as are contained in this Lease.
7. GUARANTOR TO PAY SUM EQUAL TO RENTS
If the Landlord shall not require the Guarantor to take a new lease
pursuant to paragraph 8, the Guarantor shall nevertheless upon demand pay
to the Landlord a sum equal to the Rents and other sums that would have
been payable under this Lease but for the disclaimer or other event in
respect of the period from and including the date of such disclaimer or
other event until the expiration of six (6) months from such date or
until the Landlord shall have granted a lease of the Premises to a third
party (whichever shall occur first).
8. GUARANTOR TO JOIN IN AUTHORISED GUARANTEE AGREEMENT
The Guarantor covenants with the Landlord, and as a separate covenant
with the Tenant, that the Guarantor will join in, and execute and deliver
to the Landlord, any Deed which the Tenant is required to execute and
deliver to the Landlord pursuant to clause 19.4, so as to give the
covenants on the part of the Guarantor therein contained.
9. The Guarantor may not assign its rights nor delegate its obligations
under this Guarantee, in whole or in part, without the prior written
consent of the Landlord, and any purported assignment or delegation
absent such consent is void, except for an assignment and
- 73 -
83
delegation of all of the Guarantor's rights and obligations hereunder in
whatever form the Guarantor determines may be appropriate to a
partnership, corporation, trust or other organisation in whatever form
(the "Successor") that succeeds to all or substantially all of the
Guarantor's assets and business and that assumes such obligations by
contract, operation of law or otherwise. Upon any such delegation and
assumption of obligations, and subject to the Landlord having received in
a form reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord, a deed executed by the
Successor (accompanied by a legal opinion from a reputable firm of
lawyers confirming due execution) confirming to the Landlord that the
Successor assumes all obligations of the Guarantor under the Agreement
for Lease, whether by operation of law or by virtue of such deed, the
Guarantor shall be relieved of and fully discharged from all obligations
hereunder, whether such obligations arose before or after such delegation
and assumption.
