(b) The Lessor’s notification shall also be accompanied by a certification from the Certifying Party of the period of delay that the implementation of the Authorities Variations will cause to the issuance of the Notice to Take Possession beyond the NTP Deadline or the Extended NTP Deadline (as the case may be).

20

(c) The costs of the implementation of the Authorities Variations (including all modifications thereof) shall be borne by the Lessor unless such Authorities Variations (including all modifications thereof) arise directly from any Lessee Variations in which case the Lessee shall be liable for costs of such Authorities Variations in accordance with the provisions of Clause 12.4. Any savings arising from the Authorities Variations (including all modifications thereof) shall accrue to the Lessor unless such Authorities Variations (including modifications thereof) arise directly from any Lessee Variations in which case any savings shall accrue to the Lessee in accordance with the provisions of Clause 12.4.

12.4 Payment of Variation Costs:

12.4.1 On the date falling six (6) months prior to the NTP Deadline or the Extended NTP Deadline (as the case may be) (the “VO Stage 1 Finalisation Date”), the Parties shall determine the net financial position (the “NFP”) between the Lessor and the Lessee after taking into account all Variation Costs and the Variation Savings (both as certified by the Quantity Surveyor) up to the VO Stage 1 Finalisation Date.

12.4.2 Where:

(a) the NFP is a positive amount (i.e. there is an amount payable by the Lessee to the Lessor), such amount (the “Lessee Payment”) shall be dealt with, or paid to, the Lessor by the Lessee in accordance with the provisions of Clauses 12.4.3 to 12.4.5; and

(b) the NFP is a negative amount (i.e. there is an amount payable by the Lessor to the Lessee), such amount (the “Lessor Payment”) shall be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of Clause 12.4.6.

21

12.4.3 The Lessee may elect to pay the Lessee Payment either by way of additional monthly rent or as a lump sum. The Lessee’s election of the mode of payment of the Lessee Payment must be made and notice thereof given to the Lessor no later than twenty-eight (28) days prior to the NTP Deadline or the Extended NTP Deadline (as the case may be).

12.4.4 If the Lessee elects to pay for the Lessee Payment by way of additional monthly rent, with effect from the first applicable Payment Date (for which Rent is payable in accordance with the Lease Agreement), such additional monthly rent shall be paid by way of an increase in the Initial Rate by a rate per square foot per month computed based on the rate of S$0.00000002568 per square foot of the GFA per month for every S$1 of the total amount of Lessee Payment. The Lessee shall pay any additional stamp duty payable as a result of any such increase in the Rent.

A working example of such increase in the Initial Rate is set out below:

Amount of Lessee Payment (a) (S$)		1,000,000		2,000,000		3,000,000
Rentalisation rate (b)		S$0.00000002568 per square foot		S$0.00000002568 per square foot		S$0.00000002568 per square foot
Amount per square foot (psf) to adjust (a x b = c)		0.02568		0.05136		0.07704
Initial Rate of Rent (psf) (d)		2.11		2.11		2.11
Adjusted rate of Rent (psf) (d + c)		2.13568		2.16136		2.18704

12.4.5 If the Lessee elects to pay the Lessee Payment by way of a lump sum payment to the Lessor, the Lessee must pay the Lessee Payment within twenty-eight (28) days after the date of issuance of the Notice to Take Possession provided that the Lessee is given no less than twenty-eight (28) days’ notice for the payment of such Lessee Payment.

12.4.6 The Lessor Payment shall be dealt with by way of decrease in the monthly rent with effect from the first applicable Payment Date (for which Rent is payable in accordance with the Lease Agreement), such decrease in the monthly rent by way of a decrease in the Initial Rate by a rate per square foot per month computed based on S$0.0000000116 per square foot of the GFA per month for every S$1 of the total amount of Lessor Payment.

22

A working example of such decrease in the Initial Rate is set out below:

Amount of Lessor Payment (a) (S$)		1,000,000		2,000,000		3,000,000
Rentalisation rate (b)		S$0.0000000116 per square foot		S$0.0000000116 per square foot		S$0.0000000116 per square foot
Amount per square foot (psf) to adjust (a x b = c)		0.0116		0.0232		0.0348
Initial Rate of Rent (psf) (d)		2.11		2.11		2.11
Adjusted rate of Rent (psf) (d - c)		2.0984		2.0868		2.0752

12.5 Reconciliation:

12.5.1 After all Variation Costs and/or Variation Savings (which may, for the avoidance of doubt, include any subsequent adjustments to the Variation Costs and/or Variation Savings after the VO Stage 1 Finalisation Date), as certified by the Quantity Surveyor, are finalised and the actual NFP is determined by the Parties (“Final NFP”), there shall be a reconciliation of the NFP between the Lessor and the Lessee after taking into account the finalised amount of all Variation Costs and all Variation Savings.

12.5.2 If the Final NFP is different from the NFP originally determined under Clause 12.4.1 (“Initial NFP”), the following provisions shall apply:

(a) where the Final NFP is a positive amount and where the Lessee had elected to make payment of the Lessee Payment by way of: (i) a lump sum payment pursuant to Clause 12.4.5), such additional amount shall be paid by the Lessee to the Lessor within twenty-eight (28) days after the date of the Lessor’s demand for payment, or (ii) additional monthly rent pursuant to Clause 12.4.4, such additional amount shall be paid by way of an increase in the applicable rate of Rent by a rate per square foot per month computed based on the rate of S$0.00000002568 per square foot of the GF A per month for every S$1 of such additional amount payable by the Lessee to the Lessor with effect from the first applicable Payment Date (for which Rent is payable in accordance with the Lease Agreement). The Lessee shall pay any additional stamp duty payable as a result of any such increase in the Rent; and

(b) where the Final NFP is a negative amount, the amount to be paid by the Lessor to the Lessee shall be dealt with by way of a decrease in the monthly rent payable by way of a decrease in the applicable rate of Rent by a rate per square foot per month computed based on S$0.0000000116 per square foot of the GFA per month for every S$1 of such amount to be paid by the Lessor to the Lessee with effect from the first applicable Payment Date (for which Rent is payable in accordance with the Lease Agreement).

23

12.5.3 (a) In the event that the Final NFP is an amount in excess of the Initial NFP such that the amount of Rent calculated on the Initial NFP (based on the applicable rate of Rent as determined in accordance with Clause 12.4) is less than the amount of Rent calculated on the Final NFP (based on the applicable rate of Rent as determined in accordance with Clause 12.5.2), resulting in a shortfall of Rent payable to the Lessor during the period prior to the reconciliation (“Reconciliation Period”), the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor an amount equivalent to the said shortfall of Rent by way of a lump sum within twenty-eight (28) days after the date of the Lessor’s demand for payment.

(b) In the event that the Final NFP is an amount less than the Initial NFP such that the amount of Rent calculated on the Initial NFP (based on the applicable rate of Rent as determined in accordance with Clause 12.4) is greater than the amount of Rent calculated on the Final NFP (based on the applicable rate of Rent as determined in accordance with Clause 12.5.2), resulting in overpayment of Rent paid to the Lessor during the Reconciliation Period, the Lessor shall repay to the Lessee an amount equivalent to the said excess amount of Rent paid by way of set-off of such amount from the Rent commencing from the first Payment Date (for which Rent is payable in accordance with the Lease Agreement) immediately after the reconciliation, and if such Payment Date is less than twenty-eight (28) days after the reconciliation, the set-off shall commence from the next Payment Date (for which Rent is payable in accordance with the Lease Agreement).

2

1.3 The provisions of Clauses 25, 26, 27 and 28 (inclusive) of the Original Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis to this Supplemental Agreement as though expressly incorporated herein.

2. VARIATIONS TO THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT AND THE FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

2.1 Date of Extended NTP Deadline

2.2 Parties acknowledge that HPC has applied for an extension of the Date of Completion under the Main Contract until 23 July 2021 on account of the following COVID-19 related events (the “Relevant Events”):

2.2.1 loss of productivity arising from HPC’s compliance with the Safe Management Measures (“SMM”) implemented by the Building and Construction Authority (“BCA”), including the segregation of workers among different trades, twice-daily temperature checks, inspections from BCA and the Ministry of Manpower to ensure compliance with SMM, and restriction of transfer of workers across construction sites;

2.2.2 loss of productivity arising from a series of Safety Time-Outs (“STO”) and Quarantine Orders (“QO”) being issued by the authorities:

(i) STO was issued in respect of the period from 14 September 2020 to 17 September 2020 after three workers tested positive for COVID-19. Subsequently, QOs of three to four weeks were issued to 110 workers, which constituted approximately 45% of active workers.

(ii) STO was issued in respect of the period from 4 October 2020 to 6 October 2020 after one worker tested positive for COVID-19. Subsequently, QOs of three to four weeks were issued to 107 workers, which constituted approximately 35% of active workers.

2.2.3 loss of productivity due to a labour shortage across the construction industry.

2.2.4 Parties acknowledge and agree that the impact of the Relevant Events up to the date of this Second Supplemental Agreement will cause a delay in:

(i) the expected date of issuance of the Temporary Occupation Permit beyond the Revised TOP Date of 17 April 2021 (which was agreed pursuant to the First Supplemental Agreement); and

3

(ii) the issuance of the Notice to Take Possession beyond the Extended NTP Deadline of 24 April 2021 (which was agreed pursuant to the First Supplemental Agreement).

2.2.5 Parties agree to a further extension to the said Extended NTP Deadline until 31 July 2021 on account of the foregoing Clause 2.2.4, and that Parties will not have any claims against one another in relation to this further extension.

3.1 Except to the extent amended and supplemented by this Second Supplemental Agreement, all terms and conditions of the Original Agreement and the First Supplemental Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. This Second Supplemental Agreement shall be read and construed as an integral part of the Original Agreement (as amended by the First Supplemental Agreement).

4. COUNTERPARTS

4.1 This Second Supplemental Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument
