28.5 | This clause 28 will not be reproduced in any extension or renewal of this Lease. |
29 | Compensation for Rent Abatement |
The Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord has agreed to enter into this Lease with the Tenant on the basis of the representation made by the Tenant to the Landlord that:
(a) | the Tenant (and each of its directors) has the necessary skill and experience to successfully operate the business described by the Permitted Use of the Premises; and, |
(b) | the Tenant will remain in possession of the Premises (without assignment, franchise, sub-letting or any other transaction intended to allow another party to operate the business) for at least the first 8 Lease Years |
and as a consequence and relying on that representation the Landlord agreed to provide the Rent Abatement. Consequently the Tenant freely and unreservedly agrees that if for any reason whatsoever (other than the death of the directors of the Tenant) the Tenant:
(c) | breaches any of the essential covenants of the Lease and fails to remedy any such breach within the time allowed by the Landlord in any notice to the Tenant in that regard resulting in the termination of this Lease (“Premature Termination”); or, |
(d) | seeks to assign the Lease or to grant a sub-letting or any other transaction (including the sale of the Tenant’s business or a change in effective control of the Tenant) intended to allow another party to operate the business (“Transaction”) |
then the Tenant agrees that the Tenant’s right to the Rent Abatement will become void and as a consequence will have an immediate obligation to repay to the Landlord the sum appropriate to the period calculated as follows:
(e) | if the Premature Termination or Transaction occurs prior to the expiration of the first Lease Year the monetary value of the entire Rent Abatement for which the Tenant has received a benefit since the Commencement Date plus GST; and, |
(f) | if the Premature Termination or Transaction occurs after the expiration of the first Lease Year the amount repayable is a pro rata apportionment of the monetary value of the Rent Abatement calculated in the ratio that the period from the effective date of the Premature Termination or Transaction until the expiration of the Term of this Lease bears to the period of the entire Term of this Lease plus GST. |
