  (b) Unless the Landlord notifies the Tenant within 3 months after that destruction or damage occurs that it intends to reinstate the Premises or make the Premises fit for occupation and use or accessible (as appropriate), this Lease may be determined by not less than one month’s notice by either party.

41


  (i) after that does not do so within a reasonable time (having regard to the nature and extent of the damage or destruction and the time expected to commence and to carry out the necessary works) after allowing for all approvals from Authorities, the Tenant may notify the Landlord of its intention to determine this Lease; and

 

  (ii) unless the Landlord, after receiving that notice, proceeds with reasonable expedition and diligence to commence or carry out the necessary works, the Tenant may determine this Lease by giving not less than one month’s notice to the Landlord. At the end of that second notice this Lease will be at an end.

 

  (d) If:

 

  (i) the damage or destruction has been caused or contributed to, or arises from, any act or omission of the Tenant or the Tenant’s Employees; or

 

  (ii) any insurance policy or policies for the Premises has been avoided, or payment of all or part of the policy money refused or reduced, as a result of the act or omission of the Tenant or the Tenant’s Employees,

6. EARLY ACCESS

 

6.1 The Landlord agrees to grant to the Tenant a non-exclusive licence for access to the Premises as soon as practicable after receipt of the executed Lease; the Bank Guarantee referred to in the Lease as well as evidence of insurances pursuant to subclause 5, for the purposes of allowing the Tenant to carry out the Tenant’s fitout works (as approved by the Landlord) and taking occupation and possession on the same terms as the Lease (the necessary changes being made) provided that the Tenant must have completed its fitout works before it commences carrying on business from the Premises.

 

6.2 The said licence is for a period expiring on the Commencing Date or the date of termination of this document or the Lease but may be suspended or terminated by the Landlord at any time by written notice served on the Tenant if in the Landlord’s absolute opinion the Tenant’s fitout works interfere with or delay the progress of the Landlord’s Works or in exercising its rights under this document.

 

6.3 The said licence is personal to the Tenant and at the Tenant’s sole risk and is on the same terms as the Lease (the necessary changes being made) but excluding Clause 4 (Rent); Clause 5 (Outgoings); Clause 3.2 (holding over); Clause 13 (assignment) and Clause 11.7 (quiet enjoyment).

 

6.4 During the term of such licence, the tenant releases the Landlord from and indemnifies the Landlord against any claim due to damage, loss, injury or death caused by or arising from such access or the carrying out of the Tenant’s fitout works, except to the extent that the Landlord causes this by any wilful or negligent act or omission.

  (b) Contractor’s all risk insurance to the full value of the fitout works;

 

  (c) An unlimited policy of worker’s compensation insurance.

7. FURTHER TERM INCENTIVE

 

7.1 If the Tenant validly exercises its option for a Further Term of five (5) years commencing on 1 March 2020 pursuant to clause 3.3 of the Lease (the Further Term) the Landlord agrees to provide the Tenant with an incentive in accordance with this clause 7 in respect of that lease (the Further Term Lease).

 

7.2 When providing to the Tenant the Landlord’s assessment of the current market rent in accordance with clause 4.4(a) of the Lease the Landlord will also provide an assessment of the Landlord’s opinion of the then current market incentive for a sitting tenant, if any, for leases of premises comparable to the Premises and in comparable locations for the length of the Further Term.

 

73


7.3 If the Tenant does not dispute the Landlord’s assessment of the incentive to apply for the Further Term Lease by notice in writing to the Landlord within 15 Business Days of notification (time being of the essence) then the Landlord’s assessment will become the incentive for the Further Term Lease.

 

7.4 If the Tenant disputes the Landlord’s assessment of the incentive in accordance with clause 7.3 then the current market incentive for the purpose of the Further Term Lease shall be determined by a Valuer in accordance with clause 4.5 of the Lease (with the necessary amendments deemed made to reflect it is a determination of the current market incentive rather than the current market rent).

 

7.5 The current market incentive once determined will be received by the Tenant as a rental offset in equal monthly instalments over the term of the Further Term Lease and the provisions of clause 2 of this Deed will apply to the supply of the current market incentive.

 

7.6 The Landlord and the Tenant by way of clarification agree that it is their intention that the Valuer if required to determine the current face market rent under the Lease will also at the same time determine the current market incentive if the Tenant has objected to the Landlord’s assessment of the current market incentive in accordance with clause 7.3 above.

 

7.7 The Tenant will if required by the Landlord enter into a deed at the same time as entering into the Further Term lease reflecting the provision of the current market incentive in accordance with this clause and which deed shall include the then current limitation clauses of the Landlord.

 

7.8 For the avoidance of doubt it is agreed that the commencing Rent to be inserted in the Schedule of the Further Term lease shall be the face Rent determined in accordance with the terms of the initial term Lease excluding the current market incentive.

 

8. EXPANSION INCENTIVE

 

8.1 If the parties enter into a lease of additional space on level 4 of the Building pursuant to clause 24 of the Lease, the Landlord agrees to provide a contribution to the Tenant, such contribution to be calculated on a pro-rata basis of the Contribution provided under clause 5 of this Deed.

 

8.2 The Tenant will enter into any deed reasonably required by the Landlord to reflect the contribution provided under this clause. For the avoidance of doubt the contribution provided to the Tenant pursuant to clause 8.1 will be on similar terms as the Contribution provided under clause 5, including the repayment provisions in the event of a default by the Tenant.
