SCHEDULE
Space Sharing for Offices
(a) Licence to share space. During the term of this Agreement, and for so long only as the parties are permitted by the terms of any lease, licence or other arrangement, a Services Recipient may share with a Services Provider the occupation of the whole or any part of the Services Provider’s offices (“Office”) for the purposes permitted under the agreement pursuant to which the Services Provider occupies the Office, subject to the terms set out in this Schedule. The space to be shared by each of the Services Recipients and the Services Provider may be agreed between them in writing, but may be expanded or contracted if and as agreed by the parties from time to time. At the request of the Services Provider, each of the Services Recipients shall vacate the Office immediately if it is no longer permitted by the forms of any lease, licence or other arrangement to continue such sharing.
(c) Compliance with lease licence or other arrangement. Each of the Services Recipients hereby agrees not to take any action or fail to take any action in connection with its sharing of any part of the Office as a result of which the Services Provider would be in breach of any of the terms and conditions of the lease licence or other arrangement or other restriction or obligation affecting the Services Provider’s use of such Office. Each of the Services Recipients agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of any such lease licence or other arrangement in which it shares space. There is no intention to create between a Services Provider and any of the Services Recipients the relationship of lessor and lessee (or equivalent relationship) in relation to the Office other than may be specifically set out in a separate agreement between Services Provider and the Services Recipient. The same shall apply notwithstanding that a Services Recipient has entered into a sub-lease with a Services Provider or direct lease with the landlord. Any sharing of space, sublease or other arrangement shall be subject to any third party consents, including the landlord’s.
(d) Space used. Initial Square foot, metre or other unit to be used by each Services Recipient shall be set out in a further schedule which shall be executed between each relevant Services Provider and Recipient and which shall form part of this Agreement.
