Payment of Rent |
The Tenant must pay the Rent by equal monthly instalments in advance on each Rent Day.

Payment by instalments |
If the Landlord gives a notice under clause 4.3, the Tenant must pay instalments in advance on each Rent Day on account of the Tenant's Contribution.

|
4.5 |
Subsequent Outgoings Years |
In each Outgoings Year after the first, until the Landlord gives the Tenant a notice of the Landlord's estimate for that Outgoings Year, the Tenant must pay on each Rent Day, on account of the Tenant's Contribution, an instalment equal to that payable on the previous Rent Day.
Page 13 of 47
As soon as possible after the end of an Outgoings Year, the Landlord must give to the Tenant a notice giving reasonable details of the actual Outgoings.
|
4.7 |
Adjustments |
On the next Rent Day after the Landlord gives the Tenant a notice of either estimated (including any revision) or actual Outgoings, the Tenant must pay the Landlord (or the Landlord must credit the Tenant with) the difference between what the Tenant has paid on account of the Tenant's Contribution for the Outgoings Year to which the notice applies and what the notice says is payable.
|
4.8 |
Change of Area |
If the Landlord, acting reasonably, is satisfied that the area of the Land (as determined by the Landlord) or the Premises has changed, the Landlord may notify the Tenant of the revised area and the parties will be bound by the revised area from the date of such notice. If requested by the Tenant, the Landlord will provide a plan evidencing any alteration to the Premises area.

If the Tenant must pay an amount on the next Rent Day and there is no next Rent Day, then the Tenant must pay that amount within 7 days after the Landlord demands it.
|

Page 14 of 47
|
(c) |
Any reference in the calculation of any indemnity, reimbursement or similar amount to a cost, expense or other liability incurred by a party, must exclude the amount of any Input Tax Credit entitlement of that party in relation to the relevant cost, expense or other liability.

then the Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving one month's notice to the Landlord.
|

Tenant may terminate |
If the Landlord does not repair the damage within a reasonable time after giving the restoration notice, the Tenant may give the Landlord a notice of intention to terminate, stating that the Tenant will terminate this Lease if the Landlord does not repair the damage within a reasonable time after receiving the termination notice. Unless the Landlord, after receiving that notice of intention to terminate, proceeds with reasonable expedition and diligence to commence or carry out the necessary works, the Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving not less than one month’s notice to the Landlord.

Essential terms |
Each obligation of the Tenant to pay money and to provide security to the Landlord and its obligations under clauses 6, 8, 11 and 12 are essential terms of this Lease. Other obligations under this Lease may also be essential terms.
The Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving the Tenant notice or by re-entry if the Tenant:
|
(a) |
repudiates its obligations under this Lease; or |
|
(b) |
has not paid any money payable to the Landlord under this Lease for 7 days after its due date (whether demanded or not); or |
|
|
(c) |
does not comply with an essential term of this Lease; or |
|
(d) |
does not comply with an obligation under this Lease (which is not an essential term) and, in the Landlord's reasonable opinion: |
|
|
(i) |
the non-compliance can be remedied, but the Tenant does not remedy it to the Landlord's reasonable satisfaction within a reasonable time after the Landlord gives the Tenant notice to remedy it; or |
|
|
(ii) |
the non-compliance cannot be remedied or compensated for; or |
|
(iii) |
the non-compliance cannot be remedied but the Landlord can be compensated and the Tenant does not pay the Landlord compensation satisfactory to the Landlord for the breach within 14 days after the Landlord gives the Tenant notice to pay it; or |
|
|
(e) |
an Insolvency Event occurs in respect of the Tenant or a guarantor of the Tenant's performance under this Lease. |
|
If this Lease is terminated either under clause 17.2 or 17.10, without limiting its other rights under this Lease, the Landlord may in its discretion:
|
(a) |
at any time treat the event giving rise to that termination as a repudiation of this Lease by the Tenant; and |
|
|
(b) |
recover from the Tenant: |
|
(i) |
all arrears of money payable by the Tenant and any interest on that money calculated at the rate specified in Item 16, calculated in each case to that date of termination; and |
|
|
(ii) |
all costs (including the Landlord's administration costs) incurred by the Landlord in rectifying any breaches by the Tenant of this Lease; and |
|
|
(iii) |
all costs incurred by the Landlord in recovering any money or enforcing any security and, where applicable, in having a determination made under clause 17.3(b)(iv); and |
|
|
(iv) |
the Loss of Bargain Damage calculated in accordance with clause 17.5 and interest calculated in accordance with clause 17.8; and |
|
|
(v) |
all costs incurred by the Landlord for legal fees and expenses, marketing, agency fees and to Make Good. |
|
Page 30 of 47
The Tenant agrees that:
|
(a) |
a fundamental assumption in the calculation of any Incentive was that this Lease would continue until the Expiry Date; and |
|
|
(b) |
by entering into this Lease the Tenant represented and warranted to the Landlord that if there was no default of the Landlord entitling the Tenant to terminate before the Expiry Date, this Lease would continue until the Expiry Date; and |
|
|
(c) |
the Landlord will suffer loss if this Lease is terminated before the Expiry Date, for reasons other than the default of the Landlord, including that any Incentive was calculated on the basis of the assumption set out in clause 17.4(a) and that the Landlord relied on the representation and warranty set out in clause 17.4(b); and |
|
|
(d) |
the Loss of Bargain Damage (together with the repayment of part of any Incentive in accordance with clause 17.6) represents a genuine pre-estimate of the loss which will be suffered by the Landlord, including in relation to any Incentive and the early termination of this Lease if it does not continue until the Expiry Date for any reason other than the Landlord's default, without limiting any other loss or damage which the Landlord may recover in connection with early termination of this Lease and, in particular, the other provisions of this clause 17. |
|
The Landlord may notify the Tenant of the Landlord's determination of the Loss of Bargain Damage. If the Tenant disputes the Landlord's notice determining the Loss of Bargain Damage by delivering a dispute notice within 14 days after receiving the Landlord's notice, or if required by the Landlord, then the Loss of Bargain Damage must be calculated by a Valuer appointed by the Landlord who is to determine as an expert and not as an arbitrator the Loss of Bargain Damage and who is to include in making that determination amounts for changes in market conditions which in that Valuer's opinion are proper and whose determination must be in writing and will be final and binding on the parties.
|
(a) |
The Landlord may forfeit payments of, or allowances towards, the Incentive if the Tenant is in Unremedied Breach of this Lease. |
|
|
(b) |
The extent to which the Incentive will be forfeited under clause 17.6(a) will be equal to the period of time during which the Tenant is in Unremedied Breach, to the effect that, if the Tenant is (for example) in Unremedied Breach for a period of one month: |
|
|
(i) |
the Tenant will forfeit the right to one month's reduction of rent under the Incentive; or |
|
|
(ii) |
the Tenant will forfeit the right to one months' abatement of rent under the Incentive. |
|
The rights and entitlements conferred on the Landlord by this clause 17 or their exercise:
|
(a) |
do not restrict or prevent the Landlord from recovering loss or damage from the Tenant or from any security provided by or on behalf of the Tenant or from exercising any other right or remedy which the Landlord has or may acquire; and |
|
Page 31 of 47
|
(i) |
granting the Tenant any concession, indulgence, forbearance or time to pay; or |
|
(ii) |
any compounding or compromise reached or attempted to be reached with the Tenant; or |
|
|
(iii) |
any acceptance of any moneys by the Landlord whether paid by the Tenant or by any other person; or |
|
|
(iv) |
any postponement, non-exercise or alteration of any right or remedy available to the Landlord; or |
|
|
(v) |
any alteration to this Lease agreed in writing by the Landlord; or |
|
(vi) |
the conversion of the term of this Lease to a monthly tenancy under clause 17.10; or |
|
|
(vii) |
the Landlord re-taking possession of the whole or any part of the Premises by any means. |
|
If any of the events specified in clause 17.2 occurs, the Landlord may by notice to the Tenant convert this Lease into a monthly tenancy which may be terminated by the Landlord on one month's notice to the Tenant expiring on any date. That monthly tenancy is to be on the same terms and conditions as this Lease (except for the term and any option to renew) and in particular the provisions of clauses 17.3 to 17.9 inclusive will apply as if this Lease had been terminated without being first converted to a monthly tenancy.
