2.1

Guarantee

The Existing Tenant's obligations will be complied with by the Assignee and, to the extent they are not, the Existing Tenant will comply with them and will indemnify the Landlord against any loss it suffers as a result of any non-compliance, without deduction or set-off.

2.2

Preservation of the guarantee

2.2.1

any delay or other indulgence, compromise or neglect in enforcing the Tenant's obligations or any refusal by the Landlord to accept tendered rent;

 

2.2.2

any partial surrender of the Lease (and the Existing Tenant's liability shall continue but only in respect of the continuing Tenant's obligations);

 

2.2.3

without prejudice to clause 2.4, any disclaimer of the Assignee's liability under the Lease;

 

2.2.4

any legal limitation, immunity, incapacity, insolvency or the winding-up of the Assignee (or, if the Assignee is more than one person, of any such person) or by the Assignee (or any such person) otherwise ceasing to exist;

 

2.2.5

any act or omission in connection with any right or remedy against the Assignee or with any other security which the Landlord holds at any time for the Tenant's obligations or in connection with re-letting the Premises;

 

2.2.6

any other act or omission which, but for this provision, would have released the Existing Tenant from liability,

or any combination of any such matters and, subject as provided in section 18 of the 1995 Act, the Existing Tenant's obligations are not released by, but shall be construed so as to require compliance with, the terms of any consent or approval by the Landlord or of any variation or waiver of any of the Tenant's obligations and the Existing Tenant shall, if the Landlord requests, join in any such consent, approval, variation or waiver in order to acknowledge and confirm that requirement.

2.3

2.3.1

may not participate in, or exercise any right of subrogation in respect of, any security which the Landlord holds at any time for the Tenant's obligations;

will unconditionally waive any right of contribution by the Assignee towards the Existing Tenant's liability under this clause, to the extent the waiver is requisite for preserving that liability;

 

2.3.3

acknowledges that the Existing Tenant's obligations under this clause are and shall remain additional to and separate from any other security which the Landlord holds at any time for the Tenant's obligations and shall be complied with irrespective of any such other security;

 

2.3.4

shall not:

 

(A)

claim in competition with the Landlord in any proceedings or any type of arrangement in connection with the Assignee’s insolvency; or

 

(B)

exercise any other right or remedy against the Assignee whether insolvent or not,

in respect of any performance of the Existing Tenant's obligations under this clause unless and until all of those obligations are fully performed (and, if, notwithstanding, the Existing Tenant does receive any money pursuant to any such claim, right or remedy, it shall hold the money on trust for the Landlord until those obligations are fully performed); and

 

11/46486557_5

69UKMATTERS:45919740.1

 


 

 

2.3.5

warrants that it has not taken and agrees that it will not take any security over the Assignee's assets for any liability owed to the Existing Tenant (and, if, notwithstanding, the Existing Tenant does receive any such security, it shall hold the security on trust for the Landlord until the Existing Tenant's obligations under this clause are fully performed).

2.4

Disclaimer, etc.

 

2.4.1

If the Assignee’s liability under the Lease is disclaimed, the Landlord may require the Existing Tenant to accept (and, if so, the Existing Tenant will accept) a new lease of the Premises on and giving effect to the same terms, and containing the same agreements, as the Lease except this clause (and, where any such term applies as at a particular date or period, as at the same date or period), and as the terms had effect immediately before the disclaimer such that the obligations of the new lease are no more onerous than the Tenant's obligations, subject as provided in clause 2.4.2.

 

2.4.2

For the purposes of clause 2.4.1:

 

(A)

the Landlord's requirement must be notified to the Existing Tenant within six months after the date of the Landlord's receipt of notice of the disclaimer;

 

(B)

the new lease shall:

 

(1)

be granted in all respects at the Existing Tenant's cost;

 

(2)

be completed within four weeks after the date when the Landlord notifies the requirement to the Existing Tenant; and

 

(3)

take effect from the date of disclaimer, subject to any third party rights of vesting and possession; and

 

(C)

the contractual term of the new lease shall expire when the Term would have expired but for the disclaimer.

 

2.4.3

In the event that the Landlord shall not require the Existing Tenant to take up a new lease of the Premises following the disclaimer of the Lease then the Tenant will continue to pay to the Landlord the rents reserved by the Lease for a period of six months from the date of disclaimer or until the date the Premises are re-let, whichever first occurs.
